What? What’s that???

OK… I have an adorable client who penned that title for herself. Basically it’s when you have convinced yourself that the difficulties of life that you have experienced have never happened to anyone else, only you, and you cannot go on because you are so oppressed with all these difficulties. After all, no one can relate to you or suggest ways to overcome these difficulties. Your difficulties are unique from everyone else’s. Therefore you are terminally unique! We laughed when she came up with this! And I swore I would not forget it! So here you have it… my blog post about it!

We are both unique and the same!

While it’s true that we are unique in so many ways, we are also the same in a vast number of ways. We in fact move through the same emotions and feelings in very similar ways. At times however, when our minds are dealing with other issues, such as ADHD or Aspergers, what we perceive as normal thought patterns may be interrupted. My focus in this post are the typical thought patterns and how our thoughts create our emotions which lead to our creation of our very existence.

Sometimes emotions we have cause us to take a particular stance… Our emotions can affect every thing we do and how others respond to us. I had a conversation with my grandson this morning, he lost his new jacket he received for school this year. It was an awesome jacket that zipped up all the way to the top of the hood and had a nifty netting fashioned like eyes and a mouth so when the jacket was zipped up, it looked like a mask. It was nice and warm and large enough for him to enjoy for a couple of years. No matter how I’ve tried to impress upon his mind the importance of being responsible for belongings, it has backfired into a variety of emotions for him. Today I tried to change his thought pattern by reminding him that “Good things ALWAYS happen to us!” You see, it’s so important to remember to find gratitude and positive thoughts in all things. It’s vitally important!!! We were reading in the Book of Mormon today, and it was being mentioned how the people had lost the land of their inheritance, but rather than mourning and lamenting about it, their prophet encouraged them instead to look forward and realize that God had blessed them with something even better! A better land of inheritance in their case. From those words, we take the understanding that things that come to us may not look the way we think they should look, but if we truly look at them, they are better for some reason. When we accept things for the gift they are – be it for learning, growth, inspiration, pleasure, blessing – our energetic attitude creates a wonderful existence for us. Sometimes we may want to sing, but we don’t know how, so we may need to pass through some challenges to get to that place. The challenges teach us how to get to the place where  we can in fact sing…

Good Things Always Happen to Us!

My mentor, Carolyn Cooper, used the phrase, “Good things always happen to us!” in teaching her young ones to look for the good in all situations and be grateful. What a blessing we can give to our families and especially our children if we can instill in them this positive mental attitude. If we do this, there is no room in our mind for believing we are unique in our difficulties or trials and we can become healed of being ‘terminally unique’!

Why I do what I do…

I haven’t always been a positive thinking person. I wish I could say I was raised with wonderful guidance in these things, but I have only known of Energy Healing for the past several years. I had cemented 50 years of negative thinking before I realized the difference it makes to embrace being positive! It’s just not worth wasting life being negative when being positive makes such a difference!
