I know the feeling... Things just aren't lining up the way you want them to. They aren't falling into place as you had hoped. Or maybe it's not happening fast enough. I am sure we all experience this from time to time. So what should you do?

The first thing I do is to change my mindset. When I feel myself getting frustrated or when I start to feel the anticipation coming on, I find it is best to stop and remember that my agenda is not always the best agenda. Everything happens for a reason and the Universe has a perfect schedule in mind even if it doesn't always feel that way to us.

Sometimes it is necessary to just stop the frustration, or the anticipation, or whatever you would describe the feeling as, and look at the bigger picture. When we try to force things to happen according to what we want and our schedules, we are missing the full picture. The Universe holds more knowledge than we can ever imagine from our own limited point of view. Sometimes we just need to surrender, let go, and know that all is as it should be. When the time is right, it will happen, and if it doesn't than that is also right. That is not an easy thing to accept oftentimes, however when you do embrace that thought, you will experience a sense of peace.

When I change my mindset and allow in that belief that all is as it should be and that the Universe knows what is best, I immediately am able to release the tightness in my body and let go of the stress. Doing so also allows you to get in a flow with life so that you are no longer fighting an uphill battle, and instead you are flowing with the beautiful stream of life. For more information about getting in the flow, you can also sign up for one of my free telecl**** called Get In The Flow. Just go to: www.FaithsTelecl****.com for more info.

Being a mom certainly comes with its stresses, so this Mother's Day, make sure you take care of you! As mothers, we often try to be "Super Moms." We give and give and do and do, and sometimes we wonder when someone will give to or do for us. This mother's day, continue to give and do, but this time, give to and do for yourself. Remember to nurture yourself so that you can be all that you have to be for those little ones who need you so much. Here are some tips to help manage your stress: 

1)  Tell yourself that motherhood is all about the journey. It is an uphill battle when you push against the natural flow of life and motherhood. Stop, take a deep breath, relax your shoulders and jaw (the 2 places where most stress is held), and just “allow.” You will then find the stress dissolving. Be in the present moment with your kids and remember that this moment is all you really have. This can help put things into perspective when you are ready to fly off the handle.

2)  Ask yourself, “Would this matter if I were to die in five minutes?” That may seem
harsh, but it helps put things in perspective. Stress can be managed by controlling your thoughts, so the more you ask yourself thought-provoking questions like these, the more you will be able to see what really matters. When you are thinking in terms of what really matters, you will naturally let the stress go.

3)  Focus on solutions, not problems. Did you ever notice that when you focus on the problems, you dig yourself deeper into overwhelm and frustration? On the other hand, when you focus on creating solutions, the problem will rectify itself much easier. This also sets a very good example for your kids in handling problems that come up in their lives because they will learn to not just get lost in the problem and to come up with solutions that will easily solve their problems before those problems stress them out. 

4)  Know your limit. Take some time beforehand to determine your breaking
point. Instead of being caught off-guard when high levels of stres****, develop a plan to reverse that path beforehand. That way, when you feel stress coming, you can bring yourself back to center before your world crashes around you.

5)  Give yourself some extra padding. You have a better foundation to live from when you are well rested and cared for and you will naturally handle stress with more ease. Make it a habit to take time to nurture and care for yourself. You can only care for those little ones when you are well-cared for yourself! This is so important!

You probably know about the law of attraction, right? And I am sure you have wondered why negative things sometimes happen to you. You probably wonder, "did I attract that?" Sometimes, it gets so frustrating trying to use the law of attraction because it can often feel like it doesn't work. There is one main reason for that:

Thinking positive thoughts does not activate the law of attraction; feeling the way you want to feel does. In other words, you cannot just focus on thinking positively and then feel badly about a situation at the same time if you want to attract positive things to you. Our feelings have much more magnetic force than any thoughts we can ever have, so if you feel unhappy with a situation in your life, you will attract more "bad stuff" to you. This can seem daunting at times and you must be wondering how it is even possible to feel positive about something you are unhappy about. It's not always easy, but it is very possible.

Start by checking yourself. Check your alignment with good feelings. Throughout your day, ask yourself, "How am I feeling right now?" That question actually translates into "What am I attracting at this moment?" and that is why it is so powerful to ask. By asking yourself how you are feeling, you are essentially peering into the future and seeing the feelings you will be attracting to yourself. So ask yourself that question often and then when you discover that you aren't aligned with positive feelings, do whatever you need to do to get back in alignment.

Life is a constant realignment. Balance is a complete myth. Our lives will always teeter back and forth, and so relaigning ourselves is very important. Don't feel badly because you are out of alignment. Just do what you need to do to get realigned as soon as possible. Do what makes you feel good. Repeat an affirmation or a mantra that will get you feeling positively again, Take a step outside. Take a deep breath.

Sometimes when we are in a "bad" mood, we don't even want to get out of it. I know, I've been there. There are plenty of times when we feel miserable and we like to wallow in it. If that happens, just let yourself wallow in it, but then get the heck out of it. Don't linger there. The longer you stay in a negative mood, the more unpleasant things you will be attracting to yourself.

The key is to always do what makes you feel good. Sure, there are plenty of times when we need to do things that we don't want to do. In those cases, find a way to make them more enjoyable. Bring an iPod into the kitchen and sing while you are doing dishes, for example. The rest of the time, when you don't have to be doing something, do something you enjoy. The happier you are and the more you enjoy yourself, the more wonderful things you will manifest in your life. The way you feel is the indicator, so choose your feelings wisely.

The human race is usually so consumed with trying to gain control over our lives that what happens is that we are blocking flow. We end up controlling our lives in negative ways because we have closed off the Universal flow. We only hold within us a limited amount of knowledge, but when we open up to Universal knowledge, our lives become easier. This is because when we are working from our limited minds and trying to control our lives with these limited minds, we encounter many hardships because we don’t really know how to proceed. We then move through life having to constantly learn from our mistakes because without infinite knowledge, we will of course need to gain more knowledge in order to accomplish our goals.  

When you trust, you open yourself up and you allow the Universe to lead you along the right path by letting control go. It’s not an easy thing for most of us to wrap our heads around, however, because we feel that letting go of that control will mean our lives might go spiraling out of control. The opposite is actually true however.

Here’s an example of controlling your life in negative ways. Do you know of someone in your life who has decided that happiness isn’t in the cards for them so they’ve just given up and resigned themselves to an unhappy life. Perhaps they are unhappy in their job but the thoughts of leaving it seems too scary so they just keep on enduring. Having that mindset cancels out all possibilities. How can there be possibilities when there is such an unwillingness to allow them to come into your life? They are being blocked off. You are only controlling your life in a negative way.

Or maybe you know someone who is bound and determined to accomplish something and they just keep struggling because it never seems to happen. I am by no means saying that you should not have goals and strive to achieve things that you want. Of course you should. But the biggest thing you need to do is trust. Give up the control. That person struggling to achieve something so hard may be striving so hard because she is trying to do it in one certain way and that’s the only way she sees. She is not open. She’s trying to pound a square peg into a round hole and the Universe is saying, “no wait, here’s a round one.” And she’s saying, “No thanks, I’m gonna make this one work, damn it!” You see, you must remain open. When you do, you will have gotten in the flow of life and things will come to you with ease.

When you learn to release the control so that you can allow in possibilities and transformation, you will find that new opportunities come your way and new ideas and people come into your life who can help you. All these wonderful things come to you because you’ve opened a door instead of shutting it and saying “oh well, this is my life.”

Remember, it might not work your way, but your way might not be the best way for you. Be open to other ways.

How often do you judge people in your daily life? My guess is that if you really look closely, you would have to say “a lot.” Some of us don’t even realize how often we judge others or even ourselves. Almost every moment is consumed with it. We are so convinced that we are separate from everyone else and because of it, we adopt judgment as a means to make ourselves right. When someone does something differently from us, we tend to judge it as wrong because otherwise we think it makes us wrong. None of that is true however. We are not separate. We are all one. We are not wrong if someone else is right. There are many ways to accomplish one thing, and who is to say that your way is more right than someone else’s.

Judgment is one of the greatest problems in our world as far as I am concerned. And I am guilty of doing it too! It is not easy to avoid judging others and it is very difficult to not judge yourself. Our egos want us to judge because it keeps up the illusion of separateness, which is what the ego thrives on. The problem is that when you judge, you stifle growth. All we are here to do on this planet is to grow. This is an earth school. We are not here to be perfect. We are here to grow into the soul that we are. Why do we judge others and ourselves when we are not coming across as “perfect?” That only holds that person or yourself back from growing and being all that they can be.

The simplest judgment can have lasting effects on people. Don’t do it! When you find yourself judging others, tell yourself to be a bigger person and leave that person be. When you begin to judge others less, you will find that you begin to no longer fear others will judge you. And that sets you free as far as fear is concerned because when you no longer fear what others think, you will feel free to do what you want without the fear that is usually attached to it.
