Tired Of Struggling? Learn How To Be Free By Going With The Flow


It’s Tuesday, and we are uncovering another great Treasure, Going Downstream.  What in the world do I mean, Going Downstream? It’s all about the struggle, everyone struggles in life, but since we are all human beings, it is essential to know when it’s time to let go. What is your struggle right now? Are your thoughts getting in the way? Whatever it might be, let me share with you how to turn around and stop going against the current.  It’s time to let go and start going with the flow.


One of my struggles that I dealt with was the nagging of my inner voice worried what others thought about me.  Talk about going upstream; it did not feel right.  I soon realized that the main culprit for the struggle was my mindset, I allowed my thoughts to take me towards the wrong direction, upstream.  I knew that I had to do something and fast.  Back in 2014 I read different books, did lots of research and one day I stumbled across Leo Gura’s video,  “How To Stop Caring What People Think Of You,”   it changed my life.  He gave me a statement to repeat for ninety days for five full minutes to change my mindset.  It goes like this...
“I am completely independent of the good or the bad opinions of others”


I read it out loud for five minutes daily for ninety days.  That’s right, ninety days and I didn’t skip a day.  I still have the affirmation with me; it goes wherever I go, and I am now traveling downstream.


I shared with you one struggle, but this technique can work with any battle you might be experiencing.  I am a believer in keeping things simple, and below I broke down the steps for you to start your journey as you go downstream, the effortless way.   
Awareness
What is your challenge right now? Whatever it is, take responsibility and make it your priority to change it.  What are your thoughts on it? Since it’s a struggle, you must work on the way you are thinking about the situation.  By being aware you can work with it better.  Once you have identified the thought, it’s time to interrupt and let go.


Interrupt your thoughts
It’s time to break the habit of overthinking about the situation or problem and redirect it to a better feeling thought.  My example was that I cared too much about other people's opinions, yours could be that you are always nagging at someone about something that needs to get done.  Your goal is to think clearly and to communicate better to reach the results that will make you feel better.  Once you have interrupted your thoughts, it’s time to change it.


Create an affirmation
Now take any situation that has been challenging you, and create a statement around it.  Visualize what your results need to look like, for example, I am an excellent communicator, or I am completely independent of the good or the bad opinions of others.  Anything that is positive, anything that creates a happy feeling. Now, take the affirmation and repeat it out loud for five minutes daily, do that for ninety days.  The goal is to change your thought pattern, and once you accomplish the change, you will be traveling downstream and going with the flow.  The path of least resistance, where the magic starts to happen.  
In summary, who likes to struggle and feel bad all the time? Hopefully not you, it’s time to take control of your life, your thoughts and your actions.  Start today, be the person you are meant to be.  What I shared with you today, really works.  Do you need help getting started? Reach out to me.  I am here to help.  
Until next week,

Redirected and Empowered By The Colors of The R a i n b o w Red - Starting the week was a fiery red. A tornado swept through very close to where I live, it destroyed properties, took lives, and there was no Rhyme or Reason mother nature just took this opportunity to cleanse. I count my blessings, and I pray for those that were affected. Fiery red is how I describe the destruction left behind.   Orange- The color orange reminds me of how important it is to stay active, to live a life full of energy, and to find that vitality and vibrance to show the world an enjoyable experience. The color orange is beautiful; it is full of life.  Yellow- After every rain, the Sun always brightens our days. The color yellow is bright, it guides our ways, and it reminds me of the pure sunlight that warms our days and our souls.  Green- Healing, the color green reminds me of our Archangel Raphael, the color of crisp green grass, it’s purity, and when dir...
