21 Ways To Be
Awesome
Who Are The
Angels? Angels are all around us. Whether you realize it or not, you are
surrounded by
heavenly
beings that are here to help you. Not only do they want to help you, their
purpose in your life is to help you in every area.
Life is not
an “every man for himself ” endeavor. You can certainly live that way if you
choose, but not enjoy the spiritual gifts that heaven has for you? Angels are
the heavenly embodiment of God ’s
energy sent
to us from heaven. They love and assist us our entire lives. Before we ’re
born, we set
a life plan
for ourselves containing the lessons we are to learn in this life and on a soul
level.
Your life
plan is precisely what, where and with whom you are meant to be. There ’s
nothing in
life more fulfilling than being on course with your life purpose, or your soul
plan.It doesn ’t matter if you want to be a millionaire, a business owner, or a
parent – living your life path in this lifetime according to exactly how you
planned it before you were born is by far the greatest gift and most successful
accomplishment you can achieve in
this
lifetime.
Now, there
are two types of angels that assist you.
Guardian
Angels
The
Archangels
DID YOU KNOW?
That the
angels exist solely to help us? Their only purpose and reason for being is to
assist us in our daily lives. That ’s why it ’s important for you to call on
them for help in every area of your life!?
- 5
When we ’re
born we ’re given at least two guardian angels, without exception. These
heavenly
souls are assigned to be with you your entire life and offer you their loving
and
divine help,
as well as their guidance and support according to what you have set out to
do in life.
Indeed, the life experience of your guardian angels has a lot to do with the
life lessons
you ’ve set
out for yourself.
As you live
your life and grow, you take on more guardian angels, especially in times
when you
want, need or ask for help in your life.
Most guardian
angels stay with you your entire life once they come to be with you
Our angels
play a very important role in our lives.
Because they
’re assigned to us at birth, they stay by our side, loving
and guiding
us, until we return home. There are many different types
of angels,
each with their own unique role to play in our lives.
Everyone
loves angels and for good reason. They signify love,
courage,
strength and guidance. It ’s no wonder that people get angel
tattoos,
adorn their homes with Christmas angels during the holidays
and make snow
angels in winter. Some people think that angels only
exist in
heaven and don ’t interact with us at all.
Well, I ’m
here to tell you that they sure do!
First of all,
did you know an angel ’s wings aren ’t use to fly, but rather to denote which
phylum, or
level, they ’re from? Each phylum has a different color wing tip and each has
a very
important role to play.
Let ’s take a
look at the different types of angels.?
- 6
The Phylums
of Angels
There are ten
different phylums (heirarchy) of angels, all with their own personality and
area of
specialty. You can call upon them at any time, depending on your needs. They
all exist to
help you while you ’re here.
1. Guardian
Angels
The Guardians
are the first phylum. They radiate with love and glory and appear with a
beautiful
white light surrounding them. The color of their wing tips is silver. The
guardians are
our protectors and are here to keep us safe. They assist us with our fears
and phobias.
2. The
Archangels
The Archangels
are the second phylum. The four main archangels are:
1. Archangel
Michael (
2. Archangel
Raphael (
3. Archangel
Uriel (
4. Archangel
Gabriel (
Archangels
have white wings with blue tips. Their primary purpose is healing and
they ’re also
messengers of hope.
The
Archangels use a scepter to heal by touching us with it in the area of our body
that
needs
healing.
Their totem
is the wolf and their element is rain. Their stone is aquamarine.
The
Archangels exist to help us with our journeys here on earth. Did you really
think you
were in this
alone?
These
powerful angels oversee the Guardian Angels and when you need a powerhouse
to help you
out with a difficult area in your life, call on them right away! These heavenly
beings are
there for you.
Let ’s look
at them a little more in-depth.? - 7
Archangel
Michael - His name means: "He who is like God."
He's the
Michael is
the warrior, defender and protector of heaven and earth. Call upon Michael
whenever you
want protection. He also removes negativity and fear from your life. I
work with
Michael very often and he gets the job done!
Archangel
Gabriel - Her name means "God is my strength."
She's the
She has a
feminine energy and is associated with conception and birth, and is the
or looking
for a different job, call on Gabriel.
Archangel
Raphael - His name means "He Who Heals."
He's the
Raphael is
the
color is
emerald green which is the color of healing. Call on Raphael to heal yourself
or
someone you
love.
Archangel
Uriel - His name means "Fire of God."
He's the
Call on Uriel
for insight into your life's purpose and direction and to send you clear
messages and
ideas. He lovingly answers our prayers and thoughts.
There's a lot
of information on the internet about the Archangels and I strongly suggest
you invite
them into your life because once you do, doors to endless possibilities will
open for
you.?
3&4. The
Cherubim and Seraphim
The third and
fourth level of angels are the Cherubim and Seraphim. They ’re known for
their
beautiful singing abilities. The difference between the two is that the
Cherubim
have
beautiful singing voice and the Seraphim possess a vibrational/tonal ability.
Together
their music is indescribable and beyond words.
They are
truly the most joyous phylum of angels. They have white wings with rose
colored tips.
Their totem
is the canary.
5. The Powers
The fifth
phylum of angels are The Powers. Their primary purpose is healing. While the
Archangels
use a scepter to heal, the Powers use their wings by sheltering you within
them.
The Powers
use their energy to heal. The electrical force that comes from them enters
your body and
heals you cell by cell. They ’re quite large in size.
Their totem
is the falcon, known for swiftness and perseverance. Their element is the
moon. Their
stone is the emerald, which possesses the healing color of green.
Their wings
are white with greenish white tips.
6. The
Carrions
The sixth
phylum of angels are The Carrions. Their primary purpose is to escort away
dark entities
when they die. Their sole mission is to stand back until a dark entity passes
into death.
The Carrions
protect our world and The Other Side from darkness. They are the reason
dead dark
entities don ’t exist on earth.
Their totem
is the raven and their element is the wind. Their stone is the opal.
7. The
Virtues
The seventh
phylum of angels are The Virtues.? - 9
The Virtues
assist us with our life charts. They help us to make changes to our charts
whenever
needed. They also help us with our life and charts on The Other Side before
we come here
to Earth to live another life. They ’re an incredible phylum of angels that
help to guide
us before we begin our journeys here on earth.
Their totem
is the dove, the symbol of peace. Their stone is silver and their element is
water.
They have
white wings with pale blue tips and a silvery blue luminescence.
8. The
Dominions
The eighth
phylum of angels are The Dominions. They watch over us and permanently
record our
actions and good deeds in the Akashic Records. They typically don ’t assist
us on the
earth plane but do their work for us on The Other Side.
When we need
assistance, our spirit guides will sometimes go to The Dominions
instead of
The Council because of The Dominions ’ thorough knowledge of our charts
Their totem
is the cougar, which represents strength and dignity. Their element is earth,
which
signifies grounding and the lives they record. Their stone is the bloodstone.
They have
white wings with maroon tips.
9&10. The
Thrones and Principalities
The ninth and
tenth phylum are The Thrones and Principalities and are considered the
highest
phylum of angels. They represent Mother and Father God ’s armies.
The Thrones
and Principalities come to us when we ’re in any type of danger. The
Thrones are
Mother God ’s army and The Principalities are Father God ’s army.
You can call
upon these phylums of angels to protect you or your loved ones when in a
difficult or
troublesome situation.
The Thrones
are more active than The Principalities, who act more as guardians-at-the-gate.
The
Principalities are in charge of cities and nations and are the protectors of
spirituality
and religion. They have incredible power and grace and are the highest
phylum of all
angels.
Each phylum
of angels are here to assist. Call upon them at any time.
They ’re a
gift from our Creator and are here to help you.? - 10
A Centering
Meditation
As humans, we
spend so much time in our minds, thinking about one thing after
another. We
rarely, if ever, take time to turn off all the unimportant thoughts in order to
focus inward,
where inner peace resides.
If the
thought of meditation scares you,it ’s really a lot easier than you think.It
was
difficult for
me when I first started meditating because I couldn ’t keep my mind still.It ’s
a problem for
anyone who has never meditated.
A friend told
me about The Healing Waterfall, which is a beautiful guided journey and
that ’s how I
learned to meditate.I recommend it to all of my students too.It ’s such an
incredible
way to start meditating.
This
centering meditation will bring your consciousness into your heart, to the
center of
your body,
which is where your angel meets you. Find a comfortable quiet spot where
you won ’t be
disturbed. If you record this exercise, allow a minute or two between each
step.
1. Close your
eyes. Feel your breath rising and falling in your body. As you inhale,
inhale
through the belly, expand it. Allow the weight of your body to push the air
out.
2. Place your
hands on your heart. Feel the beat of your heart, the life force energy
within you.
Feel your heart pumping blood to every part of your body.
3. Keep your
attention focused on your heart and your heartbeat. If your mind wanders,
simply bring
it back to the center of your heart.
4. In your
mind ’s eye, see a flame in the center of your heart. This signifies the spark
of
the Divine
within you. It ’s the essence of who you are. Connect to this flame and feel
what it means
to you.
5. Exhale
fully. When you are ready, open your eyes.
This exercise
can have a wonderfully positive effect on your life. You can use it any time
of day,
wherever you are, whenever you don ’t feel centered and it only takes a minute
or two. You
can do it at your desk, while you are sitting in your car, at a red light, etc.
When we think
of the angels, we often think of heavenly beings with wings. While that is
true, they
are also our closest friends and supporters. When we take the time to focus
on our Divine
light within, we bring ourselves closer to our angels and their message.? - 11
The more you
meditate and focus on your Divine flame within, the closer you bring
yourself to
your angels.
Automatic
Writing – Communicating With Your Angels
Our angels
are assigned to us for protection, guidance and love. Even in our loneliest
moments, we
’re never alone. All we have to do is call on our angels for guidance in
every area of
our life.
Automatic
writing has been around for centuries. People have used it to speak with their
guides,
angels and loved ones in spirit.
It doesn ’t
require you to do anything unusual. Simply sitting in a comfortable position
with a pen
and paper is all you need. If you ’re like me and want to bring through
messages
quicker, you can use a computer keyboard.
Now, there
are two types of writing when communicating with your angels. There is
“automatic
writing ” and “automatic dictation ”.
When you ’re
automatic writing, you ’re not aware of what ’s being written. You feel
a sort of
floating sensation, as though you ’re floating above your keyboard.
With automatic
dictation, you ’re fully aware of every word you ’re writing and the
information
comes to you either in your mind ’s eye (clairvoyance), by hearing it
(clairaudience)
or by knowing it (claircognizance).
The whole
process of automatic writing is really very simple ….don ’t complicate it
by allowing
your mind to analyze whether or not it ’s you or your angels.
Most people
think the process is going to be hard and that they ’re not “qualified ” to
communicate
with their angels in this way. Humbug!
I assure you,
you ’re very qualified to communicate with your angels!
Before you
begin, it ’s a great idea to have a journal that you can keep solely for your
communications
with your angels. As your conversations with them progress, you ’ll be
able to refer
back to your increasing progress and read all the messages you received.
Your angels
are just as excited to communicate with you as you
are with
them, and there ’s a very simple technique that you can
use to
communicate.? - 12
You don ’t
need to make this a ritual with candles, incense or other types of
paraphernalia.
You can certainly use them if you like, but they ’re not required. All you
need is your
willingness to let your angels “in ” no matter where you are.
Let ’s get
started:
Find a comfy
spot to sit and relax. It can be on the floor or in your favorite chair, or
sitting up in
bed.
Take several
deep refreshing breaths and allow your body to relax.
Say a short
prayer to elevate your energy and call in your angels such as:
“Dear God:
Please help
me to hear your messages clearly through your loving angels.
Allow me to
be healed in my areas of greatest need and to learn more about your truth,
love and
joy.”
As you begin,
asking a question will help your angels communicate with you. They can ’t
answer you
unless you ask!
“Dear Angels,
what would you like to teach me today?”
“Dear Angels,
can you please tell me about my strengths?”
Remember to
relax and breathe. Open yourself up to your angels ’ energy so
you ’ll be in
an active, receptive place.
Begin writing
anything and everything that comes to mind. You may hear a single word
or a
sentence. You may see an image or picture in your mind. You may get a sense of
knowing.
It doesn ’t
matter how it comes to you, simple write it all down. Don ’t allow your mind to
start
analyzing what ’s being written.
Don ’t
analyze, organize or judge, just write!
Ask your
angels their names. You may hear, see or know the answer. Write down the
very first
thing you get. Ask them whatever question you would like the answer to.? - 13
Note:
As you write,
are you aware of what ’s being written? Do you feel a floating sensation as
you write?
You ’ll
receive your message easily but don ’t stop to question it or talk yourself out
of an
accurate
angel communication. Our minds want nothing more than to be in control of
every
situation, including automatic writing.
Don ’t allow
doubt to take away from your session. Simply acknowledge any feelings
that arise,
then push them aside.
When
communicating with your angels, you messages will be positive, helpful and
loving.
Angels give with love and truth.
What you
receive is what the angels want to tell you.
It may be
simple or complicated, but trust what is given to you. Automatic writing and
automatic
dictation are not a science. They ’re both simple processes that opens you up
to receive
communication from your angels.
It ’s
important not to ask your angels about other people as the angels don ’t engage
in
psychic
gossip. You are their primary concern.
Once the messages
slow down and you ’re not receiving anything more, thank your
angels for
their time.
Remember to
journal your communications and as you progress with your automatic
writing, your
communication with your angels will strengthen and your messages will
become longer
and more detailed.
Have fun with
your angels!
If you
receive a message that is not joyful and loving, you may
have picked
up on an energy that is not angelic. Simply ask your
angels to
remove that energy and show it to the light, then call in
your angels
for communication.? - 14
A Meditation
To Open To Your Angel
This
wonderful meditation will help you to open to your angel. It will become easier
with
practice and
your bond with your angel will grow stronger.
Have a
notebook and pen handy. Write “Opening to My Angel ” and the date at the top
of the page.
1. Sit in a
quiet, peaceful space with your feet flat on the floor and your eyes closed.
Ask
your angel to
draw closer to you. Imagine its wings softly folded around you.
2. As you slowly
inhale and exhale, feel or sense the presence of your angel reaching
out to you.
Ask your angel to come closer to you now. Breathe in your angel ’s essence
and energy
and allow yourself to feel the love emanating from your angel.
3. Bring your
attention to the center of your heart. Ask your angel a question. Imagine
yourself
writing the question within your heart.
4. When you
feel the words to your question within your heart, open your eyes and write
your question
down in your notebook. Close your eyes again.
5. With the
words of your mind and in your heart, connect with the deep desire to hear
your angel ’s
voice. Listen in your heart … become aware of any feelings. Our Angels
reach out to us
through our feelings. Allow the feelings to come to you and be open to
the words
that arise.
6. Write down
whatever you receive, whether they ’re words, images or feelings.
7. Remember
to thank your angel for this message.
8. Read over
what you ’ve just received.
Notice how
you feel about the message. If the words you wrote down bring tears to your
eyes or you
feel moved by them, you ’ll know that your angel has just spoken to you.
If you ’re
not sure you received a message, simply close your eyes again and repeat the
process from
the beginning, and ask your angel to make contact with you.
Accept
whatever message you receive with gratitude. Don ’t dismiss or judge what
comes through
because that will shut down your heart and block communication with
your angel.
When you
accept, you open, and when you ’re open, you
receive? - 15
Meditation
and the Seven Steps To Inner Peace
If you want
to experience inner peace, you don't need to travel to exotic locations, study
with a yogi
or lock yourself in a room and chant endlessly. Finding inner peace is a
matter of
taking time for yourself to quietly reflect on the stillness within you.
We're all so
busy rushing from one thing to another, occupying our precious time with
things that
don't even need our immediate attention.
Sadly, we
seldom take time for ourselves to be at peace.
Truth is, the
idea of someone having 20 minutes of free time to do nothing could very
well put them
in a panic! Most people wouldn't know what to do with themselves. That's
because they
don't know inner peace.
Inner peace
is the reflection of within. It is the focus of the quiet stillness within you
that
gives you a
sense of the kind of peace and relaxation that is without words.
Meditation is
the secret to finding inner peace. Inner peace is the secret to spiritual
awakening and
oneness with your spiritual self.
Here are some
suggestions that will help you find inner peace.
1. Spend Time
In Quiet Reflection
With all
that's going on in the world today, one of the best things you can do to
achieve
inner peace
is to minimize or eliminate reading newspapers and watching the news.
When we allow
our mind to absorb the negativity that's around us, we become more
detached from
our spirituality and achieving inner peace.
When our mind
has nothing to occupy it, it immediately feels insecure and looks for
something to
fill the void. That's when we instantly turn on the TV or surf the internet,
anything to
keep the mind busy.
Instead, when
you find yourself with some free time, even if it's just 15 minutes, use that
time to be
still, to be by yourself, to focus inward. A guided meditation will help you
take
a huge leap
forward toward inner peace.
2. You Are
What You Think
Manifest A
Miracle states that we've been conditioned to think negativity and the life
we live today
is the direct result of those thoughts. Negativity thrives in the minds
of? - 16
most people –
sad but true. They thrive on bad news, they buy it, they follow it, they
seek it out.
It's no wonder that so many people seem so unhappy and withdrawn,
unable to
escape the self-imposed wall of negativity they've build around themselves.
We must take
the necessary steps to avoid negative thinking. You'll never be able to
achieve inner
peace when you're focused on the negative.
There's simply
nothing at all to be gained by thinking negative thoughts.
Changing your
way of thinking is not going to be easy - it doesn't happen overnight. But
what steps
are you willing to take to change your life and achieve inner peace?
You are the
master of your mind, not the other way around. Take control of your
thoughts and
you'll not only take control of your life, but you'll achieve inner peace.
3. Simplify
Your Life
"There
never enough time in the day."
How many
times have you heard someone say that? We fill our days up with so many
chores, tasks
and mundane activities and as a result, we don't stand a chance in
achieving
inner peace. Simply because we don't take the time.
You want to meditate
but have to get the laundry done. You want to spend some time to
yourself but
the grass has to be mowed. You want to sit down for just a few minutes but
you have to
vacuum first.
When you stop
placing demands on your time, you'll feel a weight lifted from your
shoulders.
Prioritize
your time by tackling the big tasks first, plan time for yourself, then
accomplish
some of the
smaller tasks, but at a comfortable pace. You'll find your day a lot less
hectic and a
lot more enjoyable.
4. Quiet Time
Alone Is The Foundation of Inner Peace
Each day we
spend our time working for someone else, taking care of our families,
cleaning,
cooking, etc. Sadly, we never manage to find just 15 minutes to focus on inner
peace.
Sitting
quietly and simply listening to the breath allows the body and mind to
relax.? - 17
This
cultivates inner peace. There's no amount of money that will bring you inner
peace.
There's
nothing "without" you that can bring you inner peace. It must come
from "within"
you, from
within those quiet moments of solitude when there is only you and stillness.
If you have
trouble stilling you mind, ask your angels to help remove those busy
thoughts so
you can focus on inner peace.
5. Be Immune
to Flattery and Criticism
You must
remember that it's not what others think, but what you think that matters.
We certainly
can listen to the criticism and flattery of others, but if we depend on them,
we rob
ourselves of inner peace.
Allowing
yourself to be affected by people who bestow either flattery or criticism on
you
will inflate
your ego which pulls you further away from inner peace.
Allow
yourself to have a strong sense of confidence and self. Know that your opinions
are
ultimately the ones that matter. Don't criticize anyone but instead accept them
for
who they are.
Leave the criticism to those who lack good judgment and self-confidence.
6. Act
Selflessly
Act from the
heart and reap the rewards!
Give
selflessly of yourself. When we serve others in some form, the feelings of
love,
happiness and
inner peace will envelope you like a big hug from someone you love.
7. Avoid
Criticism of Others
It's vital
that we empathize with others, to put ourselves in someone else's place.
We must be
aware that everyone is fighting a battle of some kind. Criticism of others is
a negative
energy that deeply affects your sense of inner peace.
When we
criticize, it's impossible to feel inner peace. Instead, make an effort to give
your love and
energy to others in need, and in doing so that positive energy will have a
wonderful ripple
effect.? - 18
Angels and
Your Life Purpose It ’s Not A One Man Show
Whether you
realize it or not, you are surrounded by heavenly beings that are here to
help you. Not
only do they want to help you, but their purpose in your life is to help you
on your path.
Life is not
an "every man for himself" endeavor. You can certainly live that way
if you
want, but why
not enjoy the spiritual gifts that heaven has for you?
Angels are
the embodiment of God's love and energy sent to us from heaven. They're
goal is to
assist us our entire lives. Before we're born, we set a life plan for ourselves
containing
the lessons we are to learn in this life and on a soul level.
Your life
plan is precisely what, where and with whom you are meant to be. There's
nothing in
life more fulfilling than being on course with your life purpose, or your soul
plan.
It doesn't
matter if you want to be a millionaire, a parent, or a business owner - living
your life
path according to exactly how you planned it before you were born is by far the
greatest gift
and most successful accomplishment you can achieve.
When we're
born we're given at least two guardian angels, without exception. These
heavenly
souls are assigned to be with you your entire life and offer you their loving
and
divine help,
as well as their guidance and support according to what you've set out to do
in your life.
As you live
your life and grow, you take on more guardian angels, especially in times
when you
want, need or ask for help in your life.
Most guardian
angels stay with you your entire life. Take advantage of their love and
guidance by
asking them to help you in every area of your life.? - 19

121 Ways To
Be Awesome!
1. Care
If you want
to be awesome, you have to care. Care about the people around you and
even people
you ’ve never met.This is especially true if you ’re blogging or a public
figure. Care
about your fans and they will care even more about you.
2. Give Value
We all have
something to share. Always focus on what you can do for others. What do
you love and
what are you good at (or want to become good at)?
3. Be honest
Honesty feels
good and is the right thing to do. But why do many choose to lie instead?
Most often it
’s because it makes their life easier,or does it?It usually might seem like it
in the
short-term, but in the long-term, honesty always wins.
4. Be
honorable
Be honorable
and respectable. This means doing the right things, keeping promises and
in general, being
someone who does the right thing. Look at our world leaders today
and do the
opposite.? - 21
5. Integrity
Having
integrity for me means being ethical and following a moral code that is both
practical and
benefits all of humanity.It ’s idealistic,but it is certainly worth striving
for,
isn ’t it?
6. Follow
your passion
Find your
passion and follow it. Never give up. There is always a way to do what you
love while
supporting yourself. It may not come in the form you think, so be open-minded
.
7. Take
responsibility
You are
responsible for your life.There is no one to blame.If you ’re not happy with
your
life or with
your circumstances, you are the only one that can take responsibility and
start
changing it. What are you waiting for?
8. Be positive
Being just a
little bit more positive can mean a lot of things. Reading a good book,
checking out
positive quotations or even watching a movie that you enjoy. The
possibilities
are endless. Even though being positive is cliché and kind of irritating, it is
still useful.
9. Take
action
You can dream
and you can wonder, but nothing happens without taking action
consistently.You
don ’t ha ve to be perfect. Learn as much as you need to know the next
step and take
action!
10. Be
radical
Sometimes it ’s
good to be radical,if it ’s you.Radical means different things to different
people,so I
’ll leave it up to you to interpret it.
11. Focus on
your strengths
Stop trying
to fix your weaknesses.You can ’t be perfect.Focus on your strength and let
other people
do what you ’re bad at.? - 22
12. Do less
You can do
less and live more.You don ’t need more stuff.Release your cravings for
materialism.
It will lead to less debt, less work and less stress.
13. Be
authentic
Whatever you
do,be authentic.Be yourself.I ’ve always been a bit of an introvert,so
this is
another one of those points that I ’m constantly working on.
14. Enjoy the
process
When you ’re
do ing something you love, you will automatically enjoy the process. Goals
don ’t even
matter at this point.Sure,they give you a direction,but you ’re loving life and
feeling
awesome.
15. Be
practical
You don ’t
have to quit your job to do what you love.You can slowly start phasing it out
by working on
your passion project after you get home from work. Be practical and
realistic.Don
’t just jump into your passion when you don ’t have a plan.
16. Lose
arguments
Why do we
insist on being right all the time? Try losing arguments.It ’s great fun and
interrupts patterns
in people. Seeing people get confused is a lot of fun.
17. Let
someone pass you in line at the supermarket
Everyone ’s
in a rush to get home,but what if you took a deep breathe and let someone
pass y ou?It
’s unexpected and it makes people smile.
18. Quit your
job
If you ’re
ready for it,just quit your job.There ’s no need to hang onto something that
you
don ’t
need.For the rest of you,stay put.
19. Give away
stuff
How much
stuff do you have that you haven ’t used in the last 12 months?What about
giving it all
away? I know a lot of people that have their houses full of stuff.?
20. Focus
Be aware of
where your focus is.Where focus goes,energy flows.If you ’re constantly
thinking
about how you will fail, you will feel bad and maybe even fail. Think about how
you will
succeed and you might just succeed.If at first you don ’t succeed,try again.
21. Tidy up
Keep your
apartment or house clean.Not saying that I ’m a master of cleanliness or
anything, but
it sure does feel good to have everything looking good,doesn ’t it?
22. Embrace
challenges
Most people
avoid challenges, or as they like to call them: problems. What would life be
without
challenges? Incredibly boring. We would never grow – at least not as fast – and
everything would
be smooth sailing.
23. Live with
power
Live with
power and certainty. Power goes hand in hand with responsibility. Take action,
be confident,
be yourself and trust that your intuition will guide you wherever you need
to be.
24. Practice
courage
We all have
our fears.By practicing courage and doing something even though you ’re
afraid,you
grow.New stuff is scary.I know that.You know that.Let ’s do it anyway,shall
we?
25. Surround
yourself with awesome people
The people
you choose as friends have a big impact on how you think and act. Do not
accept just
anyone into your life. Choose your friends wisely.
26. Go with
the flow
You know, the
universe is constantly giving you hints and trying to pull you in one
direction.
Are you not icing those hints?From now on,think about the signs you ’re
getting and
follow them.? - 24
27. Release
expectations
Release all
expectations after you ’ve set your goal.You never know what the universe
might deliver
to your doorstep.That ’s why you want to ha ve an open-mind, because
what if the
universe has something better in store for you?
28.
Experiment
Dare to
experiment. Embrace failure, because that is how you learn and how you grow.
Being awesome
means looking ridiculous and making tons of mistakes. Why? Because
it helps you
become better and provide even more value.
29. Live
within your means
Do you really
need a car? Do you need cable T.V? We can live a lot cheaper when we
realize that
we do not need a lot of the stuff we think we need. This allows you to work
less and have
more free time to do what you want.
30. Slow down
Life is busy.
Try to be conscious as much as possible. Breathe and slow down. Enjoy
the fact that
you ’re alive.Be grateful for the little things.Be grateful for the big things.
31. Use money
as a tool
Money doesn
’t have to enslave you.How much money do you really need?How about
having enough
to do what you want, when you want to do it? Why would anyone need
more than
that?
32. Dream
Let yourself
dream.All my childhood I ’ve been told that things can ’t be done,but I have
come to
realize just the opposite,so let yourself dream and ignore the people that don
’t
know what
they ’re talking about.
33. Have a
kid
I don ’t have
a kid,yet. But I ’ve heard it is a life changing event,especial ly if you plan
it
and stay
conscious during the whole journey. It will be an interesting experience once I
have a kid or
ten of my own.? - 25
34. Learn a
new language
How many
times have you heard or even said “I want to learn a new language ”?Stop
wishing and
start doing. Just 10-15 minutes a day will give you results.
35. Be
ridiculous
Don ’t be
afraid of being ridiculous or silly.In other words,just be yourself.We keep
hearing that
every market is saturated nowadays. Millions of blogs are born all the time.
In this day
and age you have to stand out. How do you do that? By being ridiculous. By
being
yourself.
36. Enjoy
nature
How long has
it been since you took a walk in nature? What about sitting down in the
forest and
just listening to the wildlife? Be careful if you have bears in your area
though,
they can
easily sneak up on you .
37.
Self-discipline
Having and
exercising discipline comes in handy more often than you think. We all have
weak moments
in our lives when we are just about to give up.
38. Plan your
day
Before you
get out of bed, visualize how your perfect day would look like. How do you
want that day
to go?
39. Excuses
Have you been
putting off doing what you love because you ’re afraid?It ’s time to throw
out all the
excuses and just do it. You will see that the fear and excuses fall away once
you realize
that they really do not hold as much power as you think.
40. Travel
When I
finished school at 18, I went to Spain a few months after that. I lived there
for
almost a year.
It enhanced my growth and I learned so much. I enjoy slow traveling, just
picking one
country,seeing if it ’s nice and then staying there.? - 26
41. Get a pet
Get a
cat,dog,duck,parrot,mouse or even a panda.They ’re all awesome.I like
animals.
Unfortunately, I am allergic to them, but I still find ways to hangout with
them
without
dying. There are a lot of shelter pets that need your help!
42. Clothes
Do you really
buy the clothes you want? Or do you buy the clothes you think people like
to see?I ’m
by no means a fashion expert,but I ’ve noticed this pattern in myself many
times.
43. Backpack
Have you ever
traveled with just a backpack?I did this for a month in Thailand.It wasn ’t
exactly in
the form I would have liked, but it was pretty interesting.
44. Couchsurf
Sleep on a co
uch or share a couch.It ’s called couchsurfing.People all around the world
are giving
strangers a couch to sleep on.
45. Attend a
concert
Sure,surround
sound sounds awesome,but there ’s nothing like attending a concert and
hearing music
live.
46. Recycle
Everyone is
talking about how the earth is dying, but are we actually doing anything
about it? Are
you recycling and making sure everything ends up in the right place?
47. Re-use
Can you re-use
old bottles, bags or anything in your house instead of throwing it out and
buying it
again?? - 27
48. Social
media
If you ’re
not already involved in social media,get involved.Twitter,Facebook,LinkedIn
and so on.
They are tools to help you connect with the right people. Use them.
49. Blog
Starting a
blog doesn ’t mea n you have to make money. You can start a blog just to
have a home
on the internet. Share your thoughts and build a community. You might
even discover
your passion in the process.
50. Talk to a
dolphin
I ’ve talked
to dolphins in my sleep,but never in real life. I just have this feeling. You
have to talk
to a dolphin at least once in your life.I ’m going to do it soon enough,you
can quote me
on that.
51. Yoda
If yoda you
have not seen,then see him you must.I ’ve been in love with the whole Star
Wars thing
ever since I saw the first movie as a child. Granted, I do not dress up as a
wookie, but I
still enjoy the whole series, because somewhere out there, it actually
exists.
Health
52. Relax
Stress is
killing all of us slowly. Take time out of your day to relax. Meditate, be
mindful,
walk, hangout
with your loved ones or pet. Take a hot bath or a sauna (I love saunas)!
53. Listen to
your body
What is your body
telling you? Are you working too hard? Not eating enough nutrient-dense
foods? By
keeping your body happy, you can keep your mind happy, which will
allow you to
unleash your creativity.? - 28
54. Eat fruit
Fruits are
easily digested by the human body. They also contain vitamins, minerals,
antioxidants,
flavonoids and all kinds of nutrients that help keep you r body alive.It ’s not
about
surviving,it ’s about thriving!
55. Eat
vegetables
I don ’t like
vegetables that much.But I ’ve discovered that broccoli soup is quite
delicious. I
also juice my vegetables with oranges. That way I get my nutrition without it
tasting
horrible.
56. Drink
pure water
The amount of
chemicals in our tap water today is frightening. Choose spring water or
use a high quality
water filtration system to ensure the purest possible drinking water.
We are made
up out of mostly water, after all.
57. Sleep
Even a little
bit of sleep deprivation can alter your mood and cognitive abilities. I know I
have to get
my 8-9 hours of sleep otherwise I ’m not going to feel like myself.
58. Exercise
You and I
both know that exercise rocks,it ’s just that we tend not to do it that much.
When you
exercise, your brain releases endorphins, adrenaline, dopamine and
serotonin.
These are chemicals that work behind the scenes to make you feel good.
59. Eat less
meat
Research
studies have proven that red meat is linked to increased risk of various
diseases. The
most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted proves that less
meat increases
health.? - 29
60. Eat light
meals
Eat meals
that satisfy you and nothing more. Eat slowly and listen to your body. I tend
to gor ge
myself,so this is another one I ’m integrating into my life.It ’s funny because
it ’s
almost as if
it is happening naturally.
61. Drink
green smoothies
Smoothies are
great nutritional bombs that are full of flavor, but green smoothies are
even better.
You get energy without crashing. You give your body the nutrients it needs
without even
tasting the vegetables in the smoothie.
62. Stop
alcohol
I don ’t like
alcohol and I don ’t enjoy being around people who are drunk.Having a sip of
wine or
champagne is cool though. Studies show that moderate consumption is O.K
and even
beneficial.
63. Throw
away processed foods
Your body has
trouble with processed foods such as sugar, sodas, candy, pasta and
practically
anything that comes in a box. Eat whole, natural, fresh foods instead and
take control
of your health.
64. Ride your
bike
Do you even
have one? I love riding those really old bikes that are made for old people.
They are
super comfortable and so simple with one gear.
65. Take the
stairs
Are you in
love with the elevator? Skip it next time and run up the stairs. Why? Because
it ’s harder and
therefore infinitely more awesome.
66. Grow your
own food
The ideal
choice would be to grow all of your own food, but for most people that just
isn ’t
possible.You can still grow indoors if you want, but that takes resources and
space.
Growing your own food will give you access to fresh produce that is extremely
high in
enzymes and nutrients.? - 30
67. Eat
sprouts
Sprouts are
awesome and extremely easy to make. The only thing you need are dry
seeds, water
and a bag. There are a lot of resources out there that show you how to
sprout seeds,
so check them out.
68. Try
martial arts
Martial arts
aren ’t for everyone,but if you can find something you like,it can uplift your
spirit and
give you an outlet for your creativity, while keeping you fit and looking good.
69. Try yoga
Yoga is an
ancient practice that connects the mind, body and spirit. It helps with blood
pressure,
circulation, balance, body awareness, core strength and mood, just to throw a
few benefits
out there.
70. Lift
weights
Many have the
notion that if they lift weights,they ’ll wake up the next morning looking
like Arnold
Schwarzenegger.It ’s a nice myth.Weight lifting is beneficial,but can
become boring
if you don ’t th row some variation in there.
71. Detoxify
The food we eat,
air we breathe and water we drink is filled with pollutants, chemicals
and toxins.
Cleansing and going through a herbal detoxification regimen can help your
body
eliminate these toxins and improve your health.
72. Massage
Get a massage
and give a massage. Getting a massage will help you release tension,
relax and be
a little bit more of who you really are. I tried shiatsu a few years ago and it
was
awesome.? - 31
73. Juices
Freshly-squeezed
fruit and v egetable juices are nature ’s multivitamins.They are
digested
extremely fast and put minimal strain on your body.
74. Fast
Juice fasting
and water fasting have both been proven by people all around the world to
improve
health and wellbeing.If you ’re plann ing a water fast, you might want to contact
someone that
knows their stuff, it can get rough.
75. Take an
omega-3 supplement
The benefits
of fish oil have been proven over and over again. You can eat fatty fish and
get your
omega-3 ’s that way,but for those that do not like fish or can ’t eat enough,
supplementation
might be an option.
76. Take a
natural multivitamin
The nutrition
in our food has been slowly declining over the decades, because of the
use of
fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and other chemicals. A natural multivitamin
will
keep your
bases covered.
Spiritual
77. Breathe
Remind
yourself to breathe deeply through your nose and into your abdomen. Breathe
out through
your mouth, slowly. This relaxes and releases stress. Focus on your breath
and notice
your body and mind saying goodbye to tension.
78. Meditate
Taking time
off from your busy schedule to meditate. It enhances your brain power,
mood and
reduces pain sensitivity. Learning how to meditate is easy, so make time for
it. No, not
someday. Now. Schedule 10 minutes right now and try it.? - 32
79. Release
the how
We ’re always
trying to figure out how something is going to happen.Release the how.
Our brains
aren ’t meant to know how things are going to happen.It causes anxiety,
worry and
other mental problems.
80. Volunteer
Almost every
city has somewhere where you can volunteer. Go check it out and try it for
one day. You
might like it.
81. Be open
minded
Don ’t judge
a book by its cover.Be open to everything,because you never know where
it may lead.
What if you tried an origami class today where you met someone that will
help you 13
years from now? You can never know.
82. Grow
Grow as a
human being,a spiritual being and a conscious soul.If you aren ’t growing,
you ’re
slowly withering away.There is no middle ground. Always push yourself. Live
uncomfortably
and evolve.
83. Be
grateful
Write down
and think about the positive things in your life. Practice gratitude every
night
before sleep.
It may feel weird, but enjoying the little things you are grateful for will
have
an impact on
you.
84. Make
connections
One of the
most important things in life is making connections. My life has significantly
shifted
towards making more connections and giving value, from just being someone
who does
something for money. This has had a huge impact on my life.
85. Accept
Do you
constantly want to change they way things are? What if you had done that one
thing
differently in the past?Stop it.You ’re putting yourself in mental hell.Accept
what
is.
Ironically, that is the first step to change.?
- 33
86. Forgive
Forgive
yourself and others.It will take a huge load off your back.You don ’t have to
hold grudges
against anyone. You are only causing anguish to yourself.
87. Patience
Nothing
happens fast. I learned this the hard way. In the small amount of behind-the-
scenes
coaching that I ’ve done I keep seeing this over and over again.People want to
make it
online and they want fast results, but the truth is that you have to work hard
for
6-12-24
months before anything happens.
88. Create
We all like
to do something. We are made to create. Whether it is writing, painting or
singing doesn
’t matter.Creating gives birth to serenity.When you ’re in the flow of
creating in a
form you enjoy, you will see what I am talking about. My favorite form is
writing at
the moment.
89. Say hi
Just saying
hi and shooting a smile at people you pass on the street can have a huge
impact on their
day, and in your own life. Spreading the joy feels good.
90. Hug
people
What about
taking it to the next level and hugging people on the street? Start your own
free hugs
campaign. That video is awesome.
91. Be aware
of your beliefs
Your beliefs
control what you see,what you believe and where you ’re heading.If you
don ’t
believe that you ’re awesome,then you won ’t accomplish awesome things.
92. Thank as
many people as you can
Go out of
your way to thank as many people as you can. If you have a blog, thank your
visitors in
any way you can. Give them free stuff. Send them personal e-mails. Help
them
out.? - 34
93. Intuition
Take
chances.Don ’t be afraid to trust your intuition.For me,intuition is that
feeling I get
in my heart.I
feel drawn to something and it feels good.It ’s not correct 100%of the time
(because I
misinterpret),but it ’s fun following it and se eing what happens.
94. Learn to
say no
Saying no is
liberating and powerful. You do not have to accept every request that your
friends or
loved ones make.You control your time.If you ’re afraid that your friends will
un-like you
for not doing stuff, then they aren ’t really your friends.
95. Release
labels
When we look at
someone we automatically put a label on them and often we ’re wrong.
Think about
all those times you analyzed someone and thought you were right. When
you met them
and talked to them you realized how wrong you were.
96. Imagine
Imagine how
you would like to be. Confident, charismatic, funny and whatever else you
fancy. Now
think of how that version of you acts and lives their everyday life. Then
imitate them.
97. Be
present
There ’s no
need t o dwell on the past or the future. Take your awareness and plant it in
the now. Be
aware of your body, thoughts and feelings. Just observe them and allow
them to be.
98. Embrace
Imperfection
We have to be
perfect. Never fail. Failure was frowned upon when I was a kid, so I grew
up thinking I
had to be perfect.Took me a long time to realize that it wasn ’t necessarily
so.It ’s okay
to be imperfect.It ’s human.? - 35
99. Ask for
help
Don ’t be
afraid to ask for help.If you have trouble,reach out to someone and ask for
their
assistance.We can ’t always do things on our own.
100. Respect
people
Show people
respect.This is a big one.I wasn ’t good at showing others respect just a
few years
ago.I ’m learning though and doing my best.
101. Trust
Trust others.
There are a lot of good people out there that will help you.I ’m not saying
you should
trust anyone blindly though. But I think you know what I mean.
102. Release
negative people
You don ’t
have to hang around negative people,you know?They are there to teach yo u
that. Let
them go and say good bye.
103. Listen
to others
Listen to
what people have to say.Don ’t you feel appreciated when someone has 100%
of their
attention on you? Do the same.
104. There is
no spoon
You create
your reality. Realize that you have the power to create what you want. If you
don ’t agree
then you have a few beliefs to let go of.
105. Ego
The ego has
its tasks, but it has taken the population of Earth hostage. You can free
yourself by
breathing and allowing it to be as it is.
106. Release
negativity
There are a
lot of good tools to release negative emotions, beliefs and thoughts. Two of
my favorites
are Emotional Freedom Technique and the Sedona Method.? - 36
107. Use NLP
Ever heard of
Neuro-Linguistic Programming?It ’s basically taking control of your brains
operating
system.It ’s another tool that you might find useful.
108. Journal
Writing down
your thoughts will help you gain clarity. Since I started writing my
decision-making
has been sharper
and more awesome. By journaling you can learn more about
yourself and
therefore improve your life and at the same time affect those around you in
a positive
way.
109. Simplify
your life
Throw out
superfluous goals, things and stuff in general. External purging affects your
internal
state.Don ’t you just feel better when you give or even throw old stuff away? I
know I do.You
do too,you just can ’t admit it,can you?
110. Have
goals
Write down
your goals.They don ’t have to be incredibly meticulous.Just having them in
writing gives
them more power.You ’ve heard the stories, someone writes down a goal
and forgets
about it, then they find it 10 years later and you know the story .
111. Read
Reading
teaches you things.Secret things.Did you know that most people don ’t read?
That means
you ’ll know many secrets that they don ’t,just by reading books.Two of my
favorite
books are the Power of Now and Way of the Peaceful Warrior.
112. Throw
out your T.V
How much time
do you spend watching T.V?I haven ’t watched television regularly for a
very long
time. It frees up amazing amounts of time.If you watch 2 hours a day,that ’s
730 hours per
year,or 4.34 weeks per year.It ’s time to kill your T.V.
113. Stop
reading the news
How often
have you felt happy after reading the news?It ’s filled with propaganda,
manipulated
stories and bombs.
Why read it?
It doesn ’t
do you any good.?
114.Don ’t
multitask
I ’m a huge
multi -tasker and addicted to it.I don ’t really want to change that habit
right
now, but I have
noticed that whenever I focus on one thing, magic happens more often
than not.
115. Enjoy
music
I tend to
only listen to music while I do other things. One day I put on music and sat
with
my eyes
closed. It was as if another world had opened up. Everything seemed different.
116. Turn off
your phone
I ’ve had my
phone turned off a lot.I ’ve even stopped answering the phone when it rings.
I guess that
’s one of the reasons why people don ’t call me anymore.But on a more
serious
note,it ’s relaxing .
117. Turn off
your IM
Did you think
I was going to let you have your Instant Messenger on? Shut it down! In
fact,I ’m
going to shut mine off right now.There,it ’s done.Try it.
118. Learn
your values
What are your
true values in life? Do you value integrity? Honesty? What about love?
How about
money? Which one is #1?
119.
Prioritize
People say
they don ’t have time,when in reality they ’re saying they lack priorities.If
you
don ’t have
time to follow your passion,you don ’t really care about feeling fulfilled and
awesome.
Learn how to eliminate and discriminate.
120. Keep it
simple
Keep things
as simple as necessary, but no simpler.
121. Death
Remind
yourself that you are going to leave this earth eventually. This will melt away
any obstacles
that are preventing you from living your life to the fullest. Henri Juntilla
