about life, then you are more willing to move forward with confidence and excitement. Take time to reflect on all you have to feel grateful for – including your connection to Spirit. Keep a gratitude journal to document your journey.
Rejoice that you are in the process of creating positive change in your life. As Oprah says,“ The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is to celebrate!”
3 Positive Self-Talk. Words are the result of your thoughts, so when you feel something negative forming in your mind stop. Gently acknowledge those thoughts and remind yourself that you are in the process of following your intuition. Take a moment to applaud your attributes, including your decision to Activating Your Braveheart™ to become a more intentional, joyful being. Then shift your thought to something that feels better.
Scientific data touts many benefits for thinking positively about yourself and the world around you. In fact, the Mayo Clinic cites that positive self-talk can increase life span, lower rates of stress and depression, and enhance overall psychological and physical well-being. What’ s more, once you think, speak, and feel better about yourself, your positive perspective enhances your emotional connection and overall good will toward others.
4 Be Willing to Take a Leap of Faith.
Recognizing that you are a powerful creator is the first part. Acknowledging and honoring that power often requires you to take a leap of faith – to journey down an unknown path. That takes
Braveheart courage. Any resistance you feel to courageously stepping into the life of your dreams is rooted in fear.
Consider this... whether you refer to your higher power as Spirit, God, goddess, Buddha, or Allah, know that the feelings and words coming from your heart are divinely inspired. Anything derived from“ Source” is pure and perfect. It will never lead you astray.
In other words, if your inner voice is telling you to take a leap of faith and move in a new direction, then know that the experience will be in your best interest. Trust that the intuitive seed of thought would not have been planted in your heart if it were not already possible for you to achieve. All you need to do is to keep your eye on the prize and continue to put one foot in front of the other!
5 Enjoy the Journey! Have you ever stepped off a wild roller coaster at an amusement park only to exclaim,“ What a ride!”? That’ s what life is – an amazing theme park
