At this or at any time, you may be looking toward changes that will boost your energy, improve your outlook, and motivate you to move forward into the future you envision. With all that’s going on in the world, it would be highly beneficial to assume control over the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of your life that you may have relinquished to something or someone else. Although there are elements of our lives over which we have little or no control, there are some things that we can control quite effectively. Here are a few ways to get started…
- Identify what makes you feel out of control, such as your overall personal state, your relationships with others, or your financial condition.A solution for every problem may not seem readily apparent, so take some time to work through how to proceed towards the changes you would like in your life.
- Take responsibility for how you arrived in this condition, because then you can do something about it. It’s easy to blame others, but we personally make the decisions that set the direction of our lives. But don’t be too hard on yourself – being kind to your mind can help you work out a solution without emotional interference.
- Forgive yourself. Consider your situation from a nonjudgmental point of view, and factor in the positive elements that presently exist in your personal world. Get serious about your health and start looking after yourself. Nurture the relationships you have with people that you care about and strive to be around the family, friends, and colleagues that make you feel comfortable.
- Relax and reflect. Learning to fully relax allows your mind to reflect upon the positive and negative aspects of how regaining control could affect your current situation. Look at how your reaction to your problem has affected you energetically. Are you allowing old habits to interfere with your progress? Are you burning out because you’re trying to do too much all the time? Do you allow your relationships with some people to drain your energy? Do you procrastinate a lot? Are you frustrated with your work?
- Make a change plan. Define the changes can be made immediately to help you to start taking back control of your well-being. Then include those aspects of your world that you care about and either start with easy small changes or reflect upon how realistic it will be to make big changes immediately possible. Think things through – then get going to change the rest until you feel like you’re gaining control once again. The longer you linger, the less motivated you might feel about taking the necessary steps toward improvement. Then be ready to adapt to changing circumstances that inevitably affect any plan along the way.
- Practice self-love and self-acceptance. All your life experiences have made you who you are as a unique individual. Continue to develop and enjoy those attributes as you bring yourself into a state of balance, so that you’re able to make any desired changes for additional improvement.
- Work within. By learning to work within with your spirit and by practicing some essential skills, your efforts may bring clarity to your self-perception and help motivate you to quickly take back control in a relaxed and confident manner.
We are far more capable than our current awareness! Taking back control means attending to the things that you perceive as important in your life and by selectively choosing the aspects over which you feel you have the ability and confidence to improve. Now you can get started!

Another New Year is on the horizon! Just one year ago, we were looking forward to a new decade full of hope and promise. Since the pandemic hit, we’ve become more highly aware of the fragility of our human existence and how interconnected we all are on this planet. Although this past year has brought some unusual and difficult circumstances, most of us have realized how precious our lives truly are. As we face the next phase of this historic pandemic, we may experience more inner reflection than usual and strive to find innovative ways to improve our approach to the challenges that await us.
During this and any time, you’ll find that working with your spirit can bring you additional energy and inner strength, as well as provide a sense of calmness and self-satisfaction.
Have you considered what personal changes may be necessary to facilitate your progress? It may be time for you to change some attitudes, to believe in yourself more, and to view your future as a work in progress, rather than as a lofty goal that may seem unattainable. During this time of transition you’ll need to be prepared to meet unexpected challenges and be flexible enough to adapt to changing circumstances.
Now that we’re entering another new year, we can look forward to the many prospects before us. We can take advantage of this new calendar year to make the changes that will take us in the direction that we want to go!
Sometimes life can seem difficult under present circumstances, but you can direct yourself toward the life experience you desire by acquiring positive spiritual knowledge. The initiation of positive changes is one of the best ways to provide yourself with the unique experiences that can strengthen you as you adapt to meet new challenges that help both you and your spirit to progress toward a positive state.
A spirit gains strength when its body fights fear. This week’s grand jury report that exposed the decades-long activities of predatory priests in Pennsylvania make me feel elated that so many survivors have finally come forward! Innocent survivors that should never be ashamed and fearful. However, the ever-silent and complicit Vatican officials’ feeble responses indicate their unwillingness to properly deal with the pedophilia that runs rampant in their institution. It’s essential for all survivors to fight back against any criminal who destroyed their joy and initiated difficulty in their life.
As 2018 approaches and we reflect upon our experiences during the past year, we can now look forward to making some changes that can truly make a difference in our lives. There’s no sense in dreaming about the life we want – we have to break out of our old habits and start making those positive changes happen!
Many believe that we should live with the spirit we’re born with because we have no power to change it. I believe that the wellbeing of our spiritual selves is at the core of our being, and that instigating the change that a spirit needs to advance in this lifetime is a fundamental necessity.
The other day one of my friends on social media shared a 2014 video of a tearful young North Korean woman who delivered a compelling account of her perilous journey to what she thought was freedom in China. As they navigated by the night sky, Yeon-mi Park described how she felt that only the stars were with them. This is one of the feelings that oppressed or abused people deal with throughout their lives, because they have been separated from the harmony within that was meant to exist. In speaking out about the tragedy that she and others in her country have lived through, this brave young refugee exemplifies the need to talk about abusive experiences in order for self-healing to take place.
of our being and start the healing process. We did nothing wrong, but bear the shame and guilt of having been violated, often by the people we were supposed to have trusted most. Unless we break through the fear and finally tell a friend, family member or seek professional help, the hurt will keep festering away within. Not only does the aftermath of abuse cause emotional and mental difficulty and ongoing trauma to our bodies, it also impacts our spiritual selves in a vicious cycle of pernicious negativity. Fortunately I found a way to work within with my spirit, so that I was able to stop the cycle to regain my self-esteem, dignity and self-heal over time.
At this time of the year many of us are reflecting upon our past year, and find ourselves speculating about how to approach 2017. I always think of each New Year as an opportunity for a brighter future, when we can let go of past fears, be grateful for who we are right now, and renew our efforts to make the kind of positive changes we want to enhance our future.
At times I wonder how we can reconcile our abundant existence on this planet with the apparent lifelessness of the vast cosmos. It appears we’re about to determine whether or not panspermia occurred in our solar system, as the ESO has found an Earth-sized planet orbiting our nearest star and NASA further confirms there are water vapor plumes emanating from the surface of Europa. In my estimation, we have barely scratched the surface of awakening our potential inclusion as a small, yet integral, part of a universal life system that eludes our current comprehension.
While many people talk about finding happiness, I encourage everyone to create your own happiness by generating success at the highest level of your being.
ups and downs in my own life, with no apparent hope of happiness, I found a dynamic way to transition to a happy state of being. Rather than comparing and complaining about what my life presented to me at the physical level, I learned a unique way of working with my spirit and started to refuse the higher-level negativity that was impeding my progress at all levels of my being. There was a lot of uphill work to do but, as I gradually became stronger spiritually, my perspective on life changed and I started experiencing the energetic joy that comes only from within.
When you acknowledge that your spirit is actually there to help you through this life, you’ll realize that you can stop waiting around for something or someone else. When you believe in yourself and interact positively with your spirit, you’ll receive more insight and inspiration about how to be happy!
Within each of us is the ability to change any dissatisfying aspects of our lives, but many people find it difficult to follow through on their commitments, due to many factors, including higher-level interference. It’s been my observation over many years that all kinds of commitments become easier to sustain in the long term, when you make them at the higher level.
Making a higher-level commitment to yourself and to your spirit brings higher-level elements into play that would otherwise never be included in the process. Negativity that causes higher-level interference with your thoughts, emotions and habits might draw you into replacing one negative aspect of your life with another, even more negative substitute. When dealing with negativity, there are underlying higher-level factors that could influence your steadfastness as you move forward to make positive changes. Once you make a higher-level commitment to yourself and to your spirit that you will work together to counteract those negatives that have interfered with your wellbeing, you’ll have ample strength to get through the friction of making meaningful changes and glide much more easily toward your desired life beyond.
Last night I finally watched the Oscar-winning best movie: “Spotlight” and found its delivery of the Boston Globe journalists’ investigation of the Boston clergy abuse scandal very enlightening. Although it was intended that the audience watch the movie to follow the journalists’ journey through the veil of silence perpetrated by the Boston diocese, I was also viewing as a survivor.
