How to Let Go to be Happy, Healthy and Free

How to Let Go to be Happy, Healthy and Free

Are you afraid of change? Sometimes we hold on to unhealthy habits, memories or relationships for fear of loneliness, resentment and uncertainty. We remain stuck in limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviours. Our happiness, health and feelings are severely compromised when we remain closed and negative to life’s possibilities. mjedwards.ca/dev/me/ In these moments of internal pain, we never ask ourselves these two important questions: Is what I’m holding onto what I really, truly want? Ideally what would I rather take hold of to feel happy, healthy and free? For many years I held onto words: hurtful, horrible, hateful words that people had said to me

Conscious Versus Subconscious

Did you know that Conscious thought is only 7% compared to Sub-Conscious thought being 93% ?? The conscious mind can process about 40 bits of information per second; the subconscious mind can process 40 Million bits of information per second!! We are constantly programming our subconscious minds without realising it. The conversations we have with ourselves and others, the information we expose ourselves to, our experiences, and our general way of thinking, all program the subconscious mind by default. The result can be seen in patterns in our lives. That means that no matter what you are saying, it’s more

Self-Talk

What’s on your mind?   Have you paid much attention to your self-talk lately? When you challenge your internal dialogue you challenge your beliefs.   Is what you believe your choice? Why do you believe that to be true? Is it a belief that is relevant and true for you now according to what you value in your life? So often in our childhood we adopt the beliefs of those around us. We learn to behave in certain ways: to get what we want, please others, or stay away from conflict. As we grow, those beliefs take hold and influence

How to Change Your Thinking With Affirmations

How to Change Your Thinking With Affirmations

When words become beliefs… A while back I spoke with a woman who takes great pride in her work. Even so, she said that she “didn’t feel she was good enough, that she’s very hard on herself, although she knows she shouldn’t be – knows she shouldn’t do that.” Here’s how our conversation went: I asked if when she worked, was she doing the best work that she was capable of. She replied, “Yes, I try to do my best”. To clarify, I asked – “So even though you know you are doing the best job you can do in

You Are Fabulous!

YES, You Are! In my mail today was a small round badge with the words, “Tell Me I’m Fabulous” on it. The note with it said to wear the badge at least once, and then maybe pass it on to a friend, child or partner. So this afternoon I did indeed put this little blue badge onto my comfy red dress. I also looked in the mirror and said to the woman looking back at me, “I’m Fabulous!”. It felt goofy but ultimately ’good’… and it certainly put a smile on my face. Even though I practice positive mindsets and

What is Your Worth?

Worth – What is yours? The underflying feelings we mere humans often experience are directly aligned to our self-worth. We have basic needs to feel secure, loved, appreciated, valued, cared and provided for. But we also have needs of challenge, excitement, anticipation, happiness, freedom, accomplishment, purpose and fulfillment. However the greatest driving force underneath all of these needs is our own view of how worthy we believe we are. Think about your own needs in life….Is there fear attached to those needs? Is that fear fuelling the belief that you aren’t deserving of what you truly desire? When you think

Do It Anyway!

Who’s in charge? Not Charles! Some days I wake up and don’t feel enthusiastic. My body hurts, my head hurts, and it all just zaps the energy from me. WAKE UP! Get up! Do it anyway! – This is what I tell myself. And 9 times out of 10 I wake up, get up, and do it anyway… It’s very easy for the body to take over and do the talking sometimes, while your mind just listens and absorbs the feedback. Of course if your body is feeling less than fabulous then it won’t take long for your mind to

Breathing 101

BREATHING – It’s easy isn’t it? How are you feeling today? Are you tense and tight or relaxed and calm? Breathing is an automatic function which we don’t really pay much attention to. Most of the time we don’t use our full breathing potential and our bodies don’t get a full intake of oxygen, depriving us of a variety of benefits. So what’s the big deal? Breathing 101 Breathing fully, deeply and correctly increases our oxygen intake by allowing the lungs to fully expand and inhale maximum breath. This in turn feeds the cells and organs with nutrients via the

My Hungry Heart – emotional eating

My Hungry Heart - emotional eating

 What are you really hungry for? When I was overweight – no matter how much food I ate – the sensation of hunger was never far away. Every meal was hurried. I ate as if I was ravenous; quickly filling my belly to hide the evidence that I was a ‘pig’. I would spend most of my time during the day thinking about food while trying to avoid it.  The hunger made me crave all the wrong foods… and they always somehow made me feel better. I didn’t always feel ‘well’ after eating those foods, but for a short time I didn’t feel

When you look in the mirror, are you seeing yourself as you ARE or how you FEAR? To be a confident, self-assured and secure woman in today’s society, we’re challenged to escape the media bombardment we face at every turn: glossy magazine pages of digitally beautified models, reality TV shows with people looking anything but real, print media and radio marketing convincing you of the latest fad diet that you really need to try… Even on a good day one phrase, one word, one look can be all it takes to dent the hard won self-confidence of the woman in
