Dealing with Change
When we have segments of life that we really enjoy, it’s hard to not look back and pine for what was. But if we keep looking back, we get stuck in the past and we cannot create a future. And we can get stuck in loss.

Are you struggling with the same goals over and over? Does it seem like making a change is taking one step forward only to take two steps back?

Now the problem with intention is that it only works if you don't have unconscious mental blocks. If Anna had the mental block, "you can't do what you love" it's quite unlikely that she would have found the answer to what she was looking for.
Often times when we experience pain, we ignore the pain or we suppress it with painkillers and we ignore the body’s communication system.

It’s as simple of thinking of your memories. Think of a time when you felt really peaceful. Imagine being there vividly, let yourself be back in that time and place, and allow yourself to feel what you were feeling, see what you were seeing, and hear what you were hearing.

Let yourself just soak up the peace.
This has to do with how the brain works, it interprets our language through making mental pictures. Consciously we understand the word “don’t” but don’t doesn’t translate in our unconscious mind. I’m going to ask you not to do something, will you try not to do it? Don’t think of a yellow butterfly because as you do it will turn blue and fly out the window. What did your mind do? It pictured the yellow butterfly turning blue and flying out the window!
Why do we so often define ourselves by the past? The past is only a memory. What if you were to define yourself by the future and what you aspire to? As we think better about ourselves, we feel better and then naturally do better. You hold the best within you right here, right now. Take an “I can do it” attitude.
