Lack of money? Lack of Freedom? Lack of health?&hellip;<br /><span></span>Is it a fear of doing something? Speaking? Failing? Showing up as your true self?<br /><br /><span></span>What if fear is just the ego&rsquo;s way of trying to protect us?<br /><span></span>&ldquo;This is not what we asked for,&rdquo; says ego. &ldquo;We are not prepared for this - it&rsquo;s out of our norm - it&rsquo;s shockingly different - so it must be scary and you better fight or run or hide!&rdquo;<br /><br /><span></span>There is another way to look at this. We are all Divine Creators creating our life experience with every thought - every word - every action or inaction. There is a reason we created what we are now experiencing. We either 1) thought so much about what we didn&rsquo;t want that we gave it energy and it appeared or 2) didn&rsquo;t give near enough attention to what we did want so we never matched it&rsquo;s vibration and we didn&rsquo;t call lit in.<br /><br /><span></span>In either case that can put us in a state of Fear - and fear is simply a belief that we don&rsquo;t have power to create something different.<br /><br /><span></span><strong>Let&rsquo;s banish that belief right now!</strong> Remember, a belief is only a thought you keep thinking. Change the thought and you change the belief.<br /><br /><span></span><strong>Fear: </strong>My body is failing me. <strong>New Belief</strong>: My body is so amazing and is right now regenerating in perfect health.<br /><br /><span></span><strong>Fear:</strong> I will be ridiculed, I will fail if I let people really see me. <strong>New Belief:</strong> I have so much to share and there are people who need and will honor me when I show up.<br /><br /><span></span><strong>Fear:</strong> I have no power. I can&rsquo;t be free. <strong>New Belief:</strong> I am more powerful than anything that tries to deny my freedom. I am supported by the entire Universe, God, the Earth&hellip; and I am excited to move forward solving problems, removing obstacles and creating a new, fun way of being in this world.<br /><br /><span></span>There is so much to say about fear; however, the final and, I feel, most important thing is that you remember you are always more powerful than the thing you fear.<br /><br /><span></span><em>&ldquo;Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.&rdquo; &mdash; Tony Robbins</em><br /><span></span>With love and light ~&nbsp;<br />&#8203;Mary<br /><br /><span></span></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness.... do we need it?]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.thejoyofbeingwell.com/blog/happiness-do-we-need-it]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.thejoyofbeingwell.com/blog/happiness-do-we-need-it#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Mon, 07 Oct 2024 20:23:29 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.thejoyofbeingwell.com/blog/happiness-do-we-need-it</guid><description><![CDATA[ &#8203;What if I told you that your only purpose is to be happy all the time?

Telling us that the only way to be &lsquo;good&rsquo; is to prove how much you have suffered.<br />&#8203;<br />Hogwash!<br /><br />You are a brilliant, beautiful, creative spark of God-force energy in your human body.&nbsp; You came here to play &ndash; to shake things up &ndash; to light things up and to be happy doing it. The truth is that only when you are happy are you in complete alignment with Source, with your highest self and with the Universe.<br /><br />Of course, challenges are going to come your way. You would be so bored if they didn&rsquo;t. You would have no reason to use your brilliant mind if there were no challenges. It is part of the game you came to play. Each challenge is one more puzzle to solve &ndash; one more mystery to unravel. Could you look at it with interest &ndash; even with a bit of excitement?&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;I wonder what fabulous solution I can create for this problem?&rdquo; Maybe you will meet new people along the way that you would not have met before. Maybe you will discover new places, new adventures&hellip;<br /><br />The truth is you always have choice. No one can take that from you. You get to decide how you want to feel in every single moment.&nbsp; I know it&rsquo;s not always easy. Again &ndash; that would be boring.&nbsp; Remember that you are never alone, and you are more powerful and resourceful than you might imagine.&nbsp; Anything is possible</div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why Detox?]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.thejoyofbeingwell.com/blog/why-detox]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.thejoyofbeingwell.com/blog/why-detox#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Wed, 18 Sep 2024 16:30:00 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.thejoyofbeingwell.com/blog/why-detox</guid><description><![CDATA[ Is the world feeling out of control - too much to handle?Is it hard to get out of bed and face another day?My work and my joy is to help you feel like a burden has been lifted - like life is easier, more fun.I want you to feel like each day is better than the day before and life is worth living.Everyone is unique so I look at the whole picture of your beautiful body and spirit.If the body is burdened with toxins and dis-ease, that&rsquo;s a good place to start.

We know that the subconscious is where the majority of emotions and beliefs are stored. We also know that our subconscious is pretty much in charge of all our decisions and actions.<br /><br />I bet you thought you were consciously making every decision. You are, but your subconscious is dictating the choice possibilities. Your life experiences from birth, and even before that, as well as ancestral fears and beliefs that have been handed down on the DNA are all buried in the subconscious and pretty much running your life.<br /><br />I can help you quickly identify these &nbsp;buried energies and clear them out. We replace them with definitions of who you really are - powerful, joyful, brilliant &hellip;&hellip;<br />It&rsquo;s so much fun to see my clients rediscover their amazingness.
