If you are at all familiar with Louise Hay, then you know the wonderful work she’s done relating our illnesses to the underlying fears and negative emotions. Once she’s identified the fear to the illness, she then devised ‘new thought patterns’ around the underlying problem to help us reversing the impact of the illness. From time to time, I’ll share some of her wisdom.

Instead of doing random illnesses, I plan to use the Spinal Misalignments as a guide, as the whole body and the array of possible issues is covered here.

1. Take a step, any step. Paralysis can set in when we spend too long agonizing over what to do next. The key is to take an action and listen for any positive or negative feedback — remembering that the absence of feedback is itself feedback. You can then use this informationto adjust your course if necessary.

2. Try stress ballooning. Imagine loading your worries in the basket of a hot-air balloon. In your mind’s eye untie the ropes that hold down the balloon and watch it rise. Your problems become more remote as the balloon disappears into the clouds.

3. Absorb virtue from others, simply by perceiving their virtue. By consciously identifying the good points in someone else’s character, you give life to that trait within yourself.

As you strengthen your Personal Foundation, you’ll find yourself having a lot more time, energy and space in your life. What to do with this? Start fully expressing yourself by setting goals based on your true values.

WHEN A PERSON ORIENTS AROUND THEIR VALUES

• Goal setting is easier and goals reached more quickly.
• Their life purpose/vision comes to them clearly.
• Fewer distractions occur; life is simple, but rich.

WHAT HAPPENS UNTIL ONE DOES THIS

• Frustrated in goals area; lacking strong reference point in life.
• Goals, wants, ideas keep changing.

THE 10 STEPS TO FULLY EXPRESSING YOUR VALUES

❑ Identify your core or rolemodel values by answering the following question: What three qualities do you want to role model for others? [This is the simplest way I know to clarify our core values. For an example, my three qualities are respect, compassion and wholeness. ]
❑ “Get” that you are your values and that expressing these values is what will have you feel fulfilled in life.
❑ “Get” that goals are more fun when linked to your values.
❑ Set 1 goal to match each role model value identified above.
❑ Let go of goals which can’t be linked to one of your rolemodel values (unless they strengthen your Personal Foundation).
❑ Begin working on each of these goals immediately.
❑ Reach each of these goals.
❑ Identify your #1 Value: Your Key Value.
❑ Raise a Personal Standard through-the-roof in order to help you more fully orient around your key value.
❑ Discover your Life Purpose as expressed by your #1 Value.

“I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.” — Henry David Thoreau

“Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way…you become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.” — Aristotle

“Nothing endures but personal qualities.” — Walt Whitman

“The truth is that all of us attain the greatest success and happiness possible in this life whenever we use our native capacities to their greatest extent.” — Dr. Smiley Blanton

“Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one’s values.” — Ayn Rand

Any way you look at it, ’shoulds’ are someone else’s desires or expectations for you. When you truly want to do something, the word ’should’ never comes up. Like Nike, you just do it!

1. Think of something you keep saying you “should” do, but never get around to doing.
2. Can you remember where that should came from? Who or what made you feel this was a desirable action?
3. Be totally honest with yourself and ask if it’s really something you want?
4. If yes, then identify why you haven’t done it yet and work through the resistance.
5. If no, (much more likely), what or how you’d prefer to do/be.
6. Identify 3 action steps towards this goal that you can take this week. [P.S. A good suggestion for one of your action steps is to set an internal alarm to ring every time you use the word "should". You'll be surprised how often you use it!]

1. Find the tower of wisdom. Imagine arriving in a remote village in the Himalayas. The focal point of the village is a square tower dedicated to an ancient Buddhist monk. The tower is decorated with four faces: peace, truth, love and happiness — one on each side. Wander slowly around the tower, pausing to meditate on each face in turn. Allow the faces to speak to you, permeating your spirit with their profound and reassuring messages.

2. Cook a meal with love, remembering that cooking is creative, and deeply symbolic of the tides of your heart. Our thoughts go into whatever we cook, so it’s good to have loving and peaceful thoughts while preparing a meal.

3. Vote for yourself every morning, as if you are the leader for the party of Everlasting Happiness, and every day is an election day! Imagine what you would promise in your victory speech. Polish your speech a little more each day. See yourself walking your talk.

Nothing worth doing is worth doing alone. Given that, it helps to have a strong personal and professional community; people you can share your love, life, dreams and concerns with to a level of intimacy once reserved for family.

WHEN A PERSON HAS A STRONG COMMUNITY

• Well-rounded, well-connected, reserve in case of trouble. Expands their personal and professional horizons.
• Moves in new, more rewarding directions.

WHAT HAPPENS IF ONE DOESN’T HAVE A COMMUNITY

• Relies excessively on family members to meet needs.
• Misses out on opportunities for personal/professional growth.

THE 10 STEPS TO DEVELOPING A COMMUNITY

❑ I have a best friend.
❑ I have a soul-mate.
❑ I have at least 10 social friends who I enjoy.
❑ I have a successful professional network of at least 25 folks.
❑ I contribute daily (in some way) to people in my community.
❑ I am loved by people in my community.
❑ My friends are happy and healthy; they don’t “need” me.
❑ I feel good enough about myself to be part of a community.
❑ I actively seek out people whose company I enjoy.
❑ I can and do say “no” to people who want to be a part of my community, but with whom I do not feel comfortable.
