If
you are ready to have a blissful life - and who isn't - then it is time
that you chose bliss. It really is a choice, and it really is that
simple: choose bliss and then work to create it in your life. Here are
ten steps to creating a more blissful experience:
1. Invite bliss into your life, and be willing to experience it.
2. When you experience difficulties, remind yourself of the greater good and expect that the outcome will be positive.
3. Remember that your view is only one part of the picture and try to see all the other possibilities.
4. Imagine the ideal outcome for every situation and envision it working out that way.
5. Expect miracles, and then work to make them happen.
6. Don't allow negative self-talk to take place. Substitute positive affirmations instead.
7. Create blissful rewards for yourself in times of stress.
8. Make a "bliss" date for yourself on the calendar- whatever that looks like for you - and then keep the date.
9. Put bliss on the top of your priority list.
10. Keep reminders of bliss around you so that you can re-enter that state-of-mind anytime you need to.

In
a world where you can create your own reality, anything you desire for
yourself can be manifested. Of course, that isn't exactly a 100%
accurate depiction of the world we live in, but according to those who
live by these principles, life can very closely imitate this pattern.
The trick to getting what you want out of life is to believe that you
deserve these things and then move forward in a way that actively puts
you in line to receive that which you desire.
Let's start with the concept of what we deserve. In this country's dominate culture  there
is a belief that one must prove themselves worthy, when in fact, we are
all born inherently worthy of everything this world has to offer. All
the gifts of the universe are available to each and every one of us,
whether you are approaching this from a religious or a spiritual basis
notwithstanding. Work from a place of knowing that you are good, you
are worthy, and you deserve all the gifts that you receive and more.
Another
part of receiving is being receptive. It might sound redundant or
obvious to say that you need to actually be open to receiving, but the
fact of the matter is that many people actually shut out a lot of the
opportunities available to them. Practice being grateful and receiving
gifts with grace. Being receptive also means that you aren't just
sitting back to see what falls in your lap, you are putting yourself
out there, actively pursuing your goals and interests. Go seek out what
you desire, and be ready to find it!

The
world is a rapidly changing place, and this is very much a mixed bag
for most of us. The global economy and transfer of information has
provided us with many amazing opportunities and yet we are still not
working together to heal the damage done to the earth. Our population
has already surpassed our ability to feed ourselves, and having eaten
our way through most of the surplus, countries are now playing a risky
trading game with food. How do we live in this world without becoming
weighed down by the burden of responsibility, knowing that our actions
have intense consequences that, at times, involve the future of the
very planet we live on?
Start by
breathing. Breathe deeply and fully. Focus on your breathing. Take full
joyous breaths and slow calming breaths. Breathe through every emotion
you experience and be grateful for each breath you inhale. In doing so,
you are invigorating body and mind and providing your body with the
full amount of oxygen it needs to thrive.
Shallow breathing deprives your body of oxygen, which in turn slowly
runs down your health and destabilizes your emotions, so the next time
you find yourself getting upset, stop and breathe. Taking several slow
deep breathes can completely change your state of mind.
Live
with intention. Listen to your experiences and be gentle with yourself.
If you are clear with yourself about how you intend to interact with
the world around you, you can carry this into every decision you make,
every action you take. Some of these can be personal, such as
choosing to express love and kindness to all others or more broad
intentions, such as choosing to always opt to purchase earth-friendly
options. Whatever you do, act in the knowledge that you can make a
difference with your actions, and even small or seemingly insignificant
choices contribute to the whole.

In
a world where families no longer all live under one roof and people
talk on their phones through the checkout line at the store, having
personal connections that are strong is an essential and important part
of being a healthy person. Many people seem to have checked out of
society, earplugs in place as they cruise through the world, and while
the interactions they are missing out on may not be profound, they also
lose a certain sense of community. They are, in effect, isolated and,
in turn, separating from those around them.
The relationship one
has with a life coach is usually different from the other people in a
person's life because their interaction is free of the need for
pretensions and restraint when offering suggestions for altering
negative behavior or interactions at home, work, and play. A life coach
is someone with whom you can sit down with and essentially review your
life and really help you work on issues that may be holding
you back from your desired life-goals. They are someone to bounce ideas
off of, to confide in, to share goals and dreams with, etc. A life
coach can be counted on to have your best interests at heart and always
work to keep you on the right track because of the unbiased viewpoints
and suggestions they are able offer.
If you think about it,
people in highly competitive fields usually have those they can turn to
for advice. Whether these people are elected officials, Olympic
athletes or famous Hollywood actors, many have advisors, coaches,
trainers, and assistants who aid them in achieving their goals. Very
few people would consider going it alone, and for good reason because
having support in one's life is essential, and who better to provide it
than a person whose interest in the situation is to help you achieve
your goals?

Three Steps to Better Health
|
1.
Proper Nutrition: a diet of whole, organic foods is essential to good
health. Plenty of foods rich in antioxidants, healthy beverages,
nutritious, brightly colored vegetables, and a balance of the right
fats, proteins, complex carbohydrates, and oils for whole body health.
Limit or eliminate processed foods, saturated fats, and meat
consumption.
2. Hydration: drinking enough water is essential
for the health of your digestive system, kidneys, liver, and skin.
Dehydration causes headache, fatigue, weakness, and a variety of other
symptoms. If you drink water and it tastes sweet, or you feel thirsty,
you are already dehydrated.
3. Exercise: exercise should happen
on a near-daily basis. The best ways to exercise are whole-body
holistic models, such as yoga and tai-chi, both of which include
meditation and personal/spiritual aspects. But a brisk walk of 30
minutes or more 3 times per week has great benefits as well.

Leisure: The Cure to What Ails You
|
If
you've ever been in the middle of making a difficult decision and
decided to walk away and take a break for a few minutes to do something
fun or relaxing, then you already know the value of leisure time.
Leisure time is something that is essential to well-being; it is a
restorative technique to bring yourself back into a calm and ready
state. After even five or ten minutes of leisure, you can experience a
complete shift of perspective that may afford you the answers you were
looking for and return you to a state of general well-being that will
allow you to handle most any challenge that comes your way!

Clearing Negative Emotions
|
|
Everyone
experiences sadness, disappointment, and anger, along with other
negative emotions. The trick is to acknowledge these emotions in
ourselves and dismiss them. There are a number of ways that you can do
this, and what works for you may vary from emotion to emotion and
moment to moment. For some, talking to their fears is a good way to
open dialogue within themselves to figure out what is really bothering
them. Sometimes, just acknowledging the fear is a good way to reduce
its power. Other people have great success with visualizing the emotion
or situation that is bothering them, and then surrounding it with love,
allowing it to transform into something positive. If you do this and it
helps, but the emotion is still present, do it again. The key in all of
this is to be judgment-free and aware that the initial emotion or issue
that arises may not be the real issue at hand, but a symptom of
something deeper that is ready to be healed.
