<p>Self-motivations creates a passion for life by keeping us moving forward on our journey in interesting and creative ways. Surrounding ourselves with elements that reflect our goals and aspirations constantly reminds us of our purpose, breathing life into our ambitions and invigorating our spirits.</p>
<div>
<p>Several ways to help keep self-motivation alive:</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Personal Growth: Continuously evolving and becoming the best version of oneself.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Giving Back: Contributing to the well-being of others and the community.</p>

<h2>Your North Star <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4618" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Your-North-Star-2-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Your-North-Star-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Your-North-Star-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Your-North-Star-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Your-North-Star-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Your-North-Star-2-750x422.jpg 750w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Your-North-Star-2.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></h2>
</div>
<p>Self-motivation shines as the North Star, guiding us through uncharted territories toward our dreams in the vast expanse of human potential. Embracing its luminous guidance, we chart our course with purpose, navigate challenges with resilience, and discover the limitless potential within us. Invite it in, and reap the benefits of discovery.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>As the North Star helps mariners navigate the roughest waters, self-motivation guides us through the turbulent seas, ensuring we stay the course. Remember, self-motivation and passion for life are personal and unique journeys. It&#8217;s important to tailor these concepts to your individual preferences and circumstances. As we set sail on this self-motivation transformative voyage, we unlock a constellation of possibilities that lead us to our most extraordinary selves.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-4620" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Lady-Straw-Hat-Turquoise-Jacket-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="325" height="183" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Lady-Straw-Hat-Turquoise-Jacket-300x169.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Lady-Straw-Hat-Turquoise-Jacket-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Lady-Straw-Hat-Turquoise-Jacket-768x432.jpg 768w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Lady-Straw-Hat-Turquoise-Jacket-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Lady-Straw-Hat-Turquoise-Jacket-750x422.jpg 750w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Lady-Straw-Hat-Turquoise-Jacket.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px" /></p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: left;">I Love Boats! My early life was spent around row boats, motor boats, on rivers and lakes. Seattle has some of the best sailing. Many happy hours were spent on a small sailing boat.  Later in life, cruise ships, and room service on the water, love it! New adventures, new places, and people.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I love the smell of the water, rivers, lakes, oceans, or seas. The sound of the birds, the feel of the wind in your hair, the sweet taste of freshwater, or the salt of the oceans.</p>
<p>So what does this have to do with Self-Motivation, everything? You are out there with the elements and your own thoughts and skill level. It teaches you to be present and take breaks to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the sky, water, and nature all around you. You  Learn a great deal about yourself in the silence. Magnified under the night sky in the open sea.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Overcoming Swells of </strong><strong>Daily Challenges<img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4619 alignright" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Ocean-Swells-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="348" height="196" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Ocean-Swells-300x169.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Ocean-Swells-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Ocean-Swells-768x432.jpg 768w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Ocean-Swells-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Ocean-Swells-750x422.jpg 750w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Ocean-Swells.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 348px) 100vw, 348px" /></strong></h4>
<div>
<p>Overcoming the Swells of Daily Challenges are the waves that test the mettle of a mariner&#8217;s resolve and yours too. Similarly, challenges in life are not setbacks but opportunities for growth. Embracing these challenges and viewing them as stepping stones toward self-improvement enhances our resilience and increases our confidence. Learn to be like a ball and bounce back.</p>

<h3><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4621" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Allies-Of-Support-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Allies-Of-Support-300x169.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Allies-Of-Support-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Allies-Of-Support-768x432.jpg 768w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Allies-Of-Support-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Allies-Of-Support-750x422.jpg 750w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Allies-Of-Support.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Finding Allies of Support</h3>
</div>
<div>
<p>Finding allies of support is necessary for life. Those connections are the lifeblood. No voyage is undertaken alone. Just as mariners form alliances with fellow sailors, connecting with like-minded individuals fortifies our self-motivation. Building a network of support provides encouragement, fresh perspectives, and shared experiences that propel us further on our journey of self-discovery and achievement.</p>

<p>Pulling Weeds in your garden involves removing unwanted plants and weeds that can choke out the plants you want to grow. The same is true of pulling the weeds of negative thoughts.</p>
<p>Similarly, pulling weeds in your mind involves identifying and removing negative or unhelpful thoughts that can slow your personal growth and well-being. Both cases may be simple or complex and ongoing, but this practice leads to a healthier and more productive environment.</p>
<p>The other day weeding the front yard with my husband and a friend, I had trouble getting this one weed out. I took a moment and a deep breath and approached it differently, digging all around it rather than pulling it out like the others. It got me thinking about weeding my mind of negative thoughts and experiences as I physically pulled the weed out.</p>
<p>Weeding your mind of negative thoughts involves identifying and challenging negative thoughts, reframing them in a more positive light, practicing being calm, and seeing the larger picture, to stay present and focused on the present moment.</p>
<p>In sharing my insight with them, we laughed and decided to practice weeding the mind and yard. We continued pulling weeds, one for the yard and one for the mind. At the end of an hour, we all felt better and lighter and had another shared laugh.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">Weeding The Ongoing Process <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-3466 alignleft" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/transformation-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="249" height="140" /></h4>
<p>Weeding the ongoing process is necessary to remove negative thoughts continually. It involves identifying and challenging negative thoughts, reframing them in a more positive light, practicing being calm, and seeing the larger picture, to stay present and focused on the present moment.</p>
<p>Be patient with yourself; as your awareness grows in recognizing a negative thought.  Ask, is it around the same thing, love, work, kids, finances, or career?  If so, what action can you take to improve that area?</p>
<ul>
<li>Weeding your garden and pulling negative thoughts out requires effort and persistence to achieve desired results.</li>
<li>Grasp mind weed firmly and say it&#8217;s time to go &#8211; I am making room for more positive actions.</li>
<li>Both can be therapeutic and provide a sense of accomplishment.</li>
<li>Ignoring or Neglecting either task can lead to overgrowth and cluttered, unproductive space.</li>
<li>Both can be ongoing processes, as new weeds or negative thoughts can sprout repeatedly.</li>
<li>Identify negative thoughts &#8211;  replace them with an opposite thought.(I am anxious. Replace &#8211; I can do this, I have done this before, or something similar.</li>
<li>Have three positive thoughts</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4593 alignright" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Pulling-Dandalions-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="327" height="184" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Pulling-Dandalions-300x169.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Pulling-Dandalions-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Pulling-Dandalions-768x432.jpg 768w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Pulling-Dandalions-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Pulling-Dandalions-750x422.jpg 750w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Pulling-Dandalions.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px" />Tips for Pulling negative thoughts out </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>What areas are the negative thought: work, family, health, career, and or finances?</li>
<li>Challenge negative thoughts; it does not always happen</li>
<li>Reframe negative thoughts into positive or neutral ones</li>
<li>Focus on the present moment</li>
<li>Engage in positive self-talk &#8211; I can do this, handle this, etc</li>
<li>Write out and carry a few positive  affirmations</li>
<li>Seek support from friends, family,</li>
<li>If thoughts persist, seeing a mental health professional might be needed and valuable.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<h4>Maintenance Is Key To Keeping Weeds Out</h4>
</div>
<p>Maintenance Is Key To Keeping Weeds Out;  keeping an eye out for new weeds in the garden and mind requires persistence to achieve desired results. Both are ongoing processes, as new weeds or negative thoughts can sprout anytime.</p>
<p>Both can be therapeutic and provide a sense of accomplishment. Neglecting either and you will see an overgrowth and a cluttered, unproductive space.</p>
<div>
<h4>Research on positive effects of gardening</h4>
</div>
<div>
<p>Research has shown that gardening can positively affect both physical and mental health. It can improve mood, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase happiness and well-being.</p>
<p>Gardening provides a source of physical activity, which can help to improve overall health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Growing and harvesting your fruits and vegetables can promote healthy eating, and who doesn&#8217;t like to eat what they have produced? Sharing makes it better.</p>
</div>
<div>
<h4>Happiness and gardening</h4>
</div>
<div>
<p>Gardening can bring happiness in many ways. It allows you to connect with nature, have some alone time while you engage in physical activity, and create something beautiful. Research has also shown that being around plants can reduce stress and improve mood. So, if you&#8217;re looking for a way to boost your happiness, consider picking up a trowel and cultivating a garden!</p>
<p>Gardeners keep a journal of what plants grow well here or did not do well there. They love to share what they have learned. Reading their journal gives them a sense of pride, allowing them to enjoy those feelings again.</p>
</div>
<div>
<h4>Healing negative thoughts and wounds</h4>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Practice self-compassion and kindness towards yourself</li>
<li>Challenge negative thoughts</li>
<li>Write and Post positive affirmations</li>
<li>Seek support from friends, family, or a therapist</li>
<li>Find and engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment</li>
<li>Practice deep breathing for more inner peace</li>
<li>Consider forgiveness and letting go of resentment</li>
<li>Improve physical health through exercise, nutrition, laughter, and sleep</li>
<li>Set healthy boundaries and prioritize your own needs and well-being.</li>
</ul>
<p>As a hypnotherapist and personal development coach, I saw numerous clients who practiced and benefited from physical gardening and mental weeding. Enjoy Darielle</p>

<p>Happy thoughts help with health, by dissolving negative thoughts, we increase our self-worth.</p>
<p>Creative, fun,  released alert, your brain functions better, Increases hormones, tightens your skin, you glow, as releasing the creative(sexy) energy 1st chakra, creativity,</p>
<p>Negativity is like dog poop on the shoe you share with everyone you come in contact with. I just Stinky Aura.</p>
<h3><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4119" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/half-empty-full-glass-300x203.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="203" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/half-empty-full-glass-300x203.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/half-empty-full-glass.jpg 709w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></h3>
<p>Dissolving the negative is a technique I use daily when I find myself being distracted, sometimes several times throughout the day. When you look at the glass to the right you see it full first or empty. Whatever you see first is true for you.</p>
<p>Awareness  Stop Those thoughts Start with Breathing. In that  instant hold it</p>
<p>Take 3-5 breaths, inhale 3, hold 3, exhale 3, hold 3&#8230;(if comfortable increase the number of breaths 4, 5, or ).</p>
<p>Rate the uncomfortable situation 1-10</p>
<p>Stand in being uncomfortable and see it grow smaller &#8211;</p>
<p>State Cancel and dissolve, then watch the negative</p>
<p>shrink down again then say</p>
<p>Dissolve the negative situation or scary thought.</p>
<p>See  it  growing smaller and disappearing</p>
<h3>Transforming Tips:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Ask yourself, “What one thing do I want to change?”</li>
<li>Take 3 deep breaths while calming your mind and bringing yourself into balance.</li>
<li>Think of what you want to change again and send your thoughts and energy to it.</li>
<li>Sit and listen to any thoughts or images that surface (allow time for this).</li>
<li>Write down what you received.</li>
<li>Practice what you received.</li>
</ul>
<p><em><strong>The secret</strong> <strong>is to take one thing and then “do it”.</strong></em><strong> </strong> Our brains can do one thing and do it well . Practice for a year.  Focusing on one thing it does not raise our doubts and fears.  We can make our dreams come to fruition by using the above steps.  As you encourage your intuition, it will help you while keeping your balance.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>How Can You <strong>Stop Negativity</strong> Now?<strong>                                                </strong></h2>
<p><strong>Picture this </strong>&#8212; Your negative co-worker is at your desk once again complaining, wanting your attention, and wanting you to fix or do something they don&#8217;t want to do.  You see them coming and your stomach suddenly cramps, and you quickly get a headache.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1815" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/man-in-bubble-1-e1535483069166.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="183" /></p>
<p><strong>Now picture a new way</strong> to deal with the negative co-workers.  You see them coming and smile to yourself.  You use the <em>&#8220;</em><strong><em>Stop Negativity Now Exercise&#8221;</em></strong>&#8212; they do not stop at your desk.  You feel good and continue with your work.</p>
<p>After work, you come home and your spouse is being negative again.  &#8220;Please, just give me a moment to decompress,&#8221; you say.  That moment does not occur and then there is more blaming and negative talk.</p>
<p><strong>A new scene</strong> &#8212; before walking into work you do the exercise and notice a difference.  Then the negative chatter begins.  You do the exercise again.  Wow, the chatter stops!  The co-workers are calmer and talking about something more positive.</p>
<p>In chronic situations at work or home, you will need the practice to keep you in the <strong>Positive Mindset</strong>.  Keep practicing, it does work.  I have used this technique myself with good results.</p>
<p>There are many ways this exercise can help you, for example, around kids, driving, working with the boss or shopping.  You can use this exercise in any situation.</p>
<p>You can stop negativity immediately.  Just today I shared this technique with a couple of clients.  Their feedback was that they each felt a release and had an immediate change with the other person.</p>
<p>Enjoy, laugh, and know you have a way to deal with negative people.  You have the power.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: left;">It&#8217;s Okay Not To Be Okay</h1>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-2186" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/kid-doctor-dog-cat-2-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="197" /></p>
<p>You know those days &#8211; like when you step out of bed into something wet, discovering it is kitty barf!  This is after having a nice and grateful wake-up time.  You stand there with the barf on your foot as you hop to the bathroom to wash it off.</p>
<p>Then there is the sound of the phone ringing at O-dark-hundred and a voice at the other end in a panic,  &#8220;We have to get that project done now and come to work!&#8221;  This comes from a person you resent and feel they are less qualified &#8212; and you are always bailing them out.  Do not gloss over that frustration.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s okay to feel those feelings.  We are conditioned to think that having downtime and funky feelings are not okay.  That is not true!</p>
<h4 style="font-family: Lato, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong>Make your stumbles part of your dance, not the story of your life.</strong></em></span></h4>
<h2><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-2916 alignright" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/If-you-stumble-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="277" height="185" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/If-you-stumble-300x200.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/If-you-stumble.jpg 510w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 277px) 100vw, 277px" />Timeouts and stumbles</h2>
<p>Timeouts are a necessary part of growing.  Your emotions and brain need a break to assimilate new information.  The overload can result in a meltdown when we have continual uploads and new information without taking a breath.  <em>STOP and take a break.</em></p>
<p>I love checklists; they are easy to read and filled with ideas.  <strong>Here is a helpful checklist for taking a break:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Sit in your jammies.</li>
<li>Eat your ice cream.</li>
<li>People watch at the mall or cafe.</li>
<li>Binge-watch for a day.</li>
<li>Hug your furry companion.</li>
<li>Dance to your favorite music.</li>
<li>Go to the beach.</li>
<li>Take a walk.</li>
<li>Call an old friend.</li>
<li>Visit your favorite art gallery.</li>
<li>Explore a new place for the day.</li>
</ul>
<p>Just give yourself permission to sit for a bit.  I find inspiration returns quickly when I do that.  During these timeouts, we have the opportunity to step back and try a new approach.  Let it be the opposite of what you previously tried.  There are times when we feel like we have failed through no fault of our own.  Yet that setback becomes part of your story of loss and lack.  Challenge that; it is a setback, not your life story. Breaks allow you to see clearly and then transformation begins.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000000;">After resting &#8211; go back to the beginning</span></h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-3091" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/woman-and-cat-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/woman-and-cat-150x150.jpg 150w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/woman-and-cat-300x300.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/woman-and-cat.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px" />Resting and going back to the beginning is an often overlooked opportunity.  Our overworked brains can miss important details of a situation.  The psychological distance can trigger unseen solutions.  Seize this time to overhaul the project and generate as many new ideas as possible.</p>
<p>Before I took a break, I felt anxious, overwhelmed, and frustrated, and then trying harder and faster to get things done did the reverse.  That was not a fun experience, and I thought,  &#8220;Where&#8217;s my edge and insight now?  I&#8217;m tired.&#8221;  I sigh and take a walk to the park.</p>
<p>Many times after taking a break, it has profoundly impacted my planning and writing.  My spirit is renewed, my insights are keener, and I enjoy a deeper connection to people.  Open communication with yourself invites others with that same benefit.  Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if we knew and believed in ourselves?</p>
<p>Put regular breaks into your schedule and make &#8220;me time&#8221; a priority.  Enjoy the benefits.</p>
<h3><span style="font-family: inherit;">Let the articles I write be your Coach</span></h3>
<h3><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3107" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Machu-Pichu-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="192" height="192" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Machu-Pichu-150x150.jpg 150w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Machu-Pichu-300x300.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Machu-Pichu.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px" /></h3>
<p>These articles I write can be your coach and guide you to find a path and navigate challenges while transforming your life.  The cost of worry, negativity, fears, and insecurities can derail anyone.  Each article contains tools to build upon and knowledge to help you map out a plan and streamline a strategy to success.</p>
<p>A &#8220;coach&#8221; to guide you is the backbone needed to drive you forward to your dreams.  Coaching is a way to discover and amplify your talents and train your mind to achieve results.</p>
<p>I have cherished my coaches, and the insights I gained was time well spent, avoiding costly mistakes.  They assisted me in developing spiritual, mental, and emotional tools that would have taken many more years otherwise.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Are you a clencher, a gritter, a hand-wringer, or sleepless?</h2>
<p>These are signs of anxiety and stress, played out during the day and when trying to sleep.  These ways of grinding or hand-wringing or sleeplessness are ways our body and mind are trying to find a solution.  <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4191" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/peace-bus-300x178.png" alt="" width="300" height="178" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/peace-bus-300x178.png 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/peace-bus-768x455.png 768w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/peace-bus.png 811w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /> It is important to deal with these symptoms as soon as you notice them.  In heightened states of anxiety, we can gain weight, feel disconnected, and everyday projects become harder.  Our hands and feet feel cold, we have a lack of focus and overwhelm.  These are the sandwich of the day.  We lose touch with our body, mind, and soul.</p>
<p>What I really want is<em><strong> &#8220;Peace&#8221;!</strong>  </em>I can help you with that.</p>
<h3>Stop gritting and start &#8220;Grounding&#8221;</h3>
<p><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-4197" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/knoted-rope-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="150" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/knoted-rope-300x200.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/knoted-rope.jpg 720w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" />&#8220;<em><strong>G</strong>rounding&#8221;</em></strong> is the antidote to anxiety to stop the gritting, grinding, and sleepless nights.  Grounding brings you back into your body and into the present time.  It is a simple process that helps release pent-up frustrations by creating a relaxed, calming state, the sympathetic response, and gain balance again.  The &#8220;sympathetic nervous system&#8221; (SNS) controls the body&#8217;s responses to a perceived threat and is responsible for the &#8220;fight or flight&#8221; or &#8220;freeze&#8221; response.</p>
<p>As a hypnotherapist and energy worker, it is vital to remain grounded and clear when assisting my clients. I have found many clients come with any number of stress problems, &#8220;grounding&#8221; is an easy way to help release those troubles fast.  This is something my clients can do themselves.  It makes me happy to share this technique with you.</p>
<h3>&#8220;Grounding&#8221; &#8211; Antidote to Anxiety</h3>
<p>I like the feel of a deep connection to Mother Earth, see the magma, and fire the purifier.  I release my issues, fears, anger, frustrations, and whatever emotion I wish to release.  Then I enjoy the nurturing, healing power of &#8220;Mother Earth&#8221;, the &#8220;Blue Planet&#8221;, our home.  Here is the technique I use:  (Do not drive, or use machinery doing this technique)<b>.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-4198" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/balance-3-rocks-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="248" height="165" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/balance-3-rocks-300x200.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/balance-3-rocks.jpg 720w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px" /></b></p>
<h4><em><strong>Grounding Technique:</strong></em></h4>
<ol>
<li> Turn off distractions for about 5 minutes.</li>
<li> Find a comfortable chair.</li>
<li> Take a few deep breaths.</li>
<li> Imagine a cord running down, deep into the earth.  I like to see roots to feel anchored.</li>
<li> Pick the issue most irritating you.</li>
<li> Set the Intention to release this issue from your mind, body, soul, and life.</li>
<li> See or feel the issue going down the roots to &#8220;Mother Earth&#8221; and to the fire.</li>
<li> Take time to feel the release.</li>
<li> Invite the healing energy in.  Sit here a bit, absorbing it.</li>
<li> Take a deep breath and return to your today.</li>
</ol>
<p>This is a short quick on-the-spot version of the technique.  I have more in-depth classes on Grounding and Anxiety.  Learn to use science, and energy work to gain control and clarity, and reconnect again.  These interactive classes will show you how amazing you are.  You <em>do</em> have the ability to calm anxiety quickly.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>A Winner&#8217;s Mindset &#8211; Life is an Inner Game</h1>
<p>A winner&#8217;s mindset  &#8211; Life is an inner game.  What we say to ourselves becomes the blueprint of our lives.  It started in childhood as we accepted beliefs about ourselves and continue to play them out daily.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4114" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/mindset-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/mindset-300x200.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/mindset.jpg 720w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p>What you say becomes your life.  The more you hear your voice say something out loud it strengthens the belief and subsequent actions.  When you hear your intention, it has power.  Share it consciously with the intention you want.</p>
<p>Winners view a mistake as a miscalculation.  They learn from this experience and go on &#8211; no blaming or crying.  The setback does not define them or hold them back.  They go back to their plan, make room for setbacks, have days off, then return to their winning habit.  They practice what they know works.</p>
<h4>Simple Steps to Change Your Mindset:</h4>
<p>When you think a thought, before your brain engages you have a short 5 to 7 seconds before your body responds.  You have visual memories, feelings, and the game is already engaged in your old story. Before you get distracted you can do these steps.</p>
<ul>
<li>See a &#8220;stop sign&#8221; and count to 7.</li>
<li>Recall a happy memory or one you would like.</li>
<li>Become present and set yourself back into the winner&#8217;s mindset.</li>
<li>Be alive and in the moment, realize you have just had another win.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Bump Up Your Inner Game</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-4101" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/i-believe-in-me-300x212.jpg" alt="" width="276" height="195" />Change your dialogue and change your life.  The history books and current news are filled with people who kept at their ideas, encouraging themselves, believing, and taking consistent action.</p>
<p>Their inner self-talk supported them against all odds and insulated them from hurtful and negative thoughts, loss, setbacks, naysayers, and their past conditioning.</p>
<p>You are no different than them.  These winners learned positive thoughts, had a plan and kept up their daily practices.  You can create your own plan and soar.  Read on to find out more secrets to manifesting.</p>
<h2>Rehearsal &#8211; Your Edge in Life</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-4097 alignright" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/frogs-doing-yoga-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/frogs-doing-yoga-300x198.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/frogs-doing-yoga.jpg 728w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p>Whatever you are good at in your life took time to learn, practice, and then make perfect.  The more you practiced the quicker you saw results.  Why?  Because it was a high priority for you.</p>
<p>&#8220;Rehearsing&#8221; gives you an edge in your body and mind and then acts as though it were happening in real-time.  It also allows any potential problems or fears to surface.  You can resolve those in a mental movie of you doing so.</p>
<p>Seeing yourself in many different settings gives you the opportunity to see yourself empowered and facing a situation with confidence.  The more you practice, the easier it becomes when faced with the situation in person.  Your mind is clear and emotions are grounded.  You are calmer and balanced.  The choice of action is truly yours.</p>
<p>Practice, practice. is the key to a winning mindset.</p>
<h2>Your Winning Mindset</h2>
<h3><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-4112 alignleft" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/win-win-pic-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="196" height="197" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/win-win-pic-300x300.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/win-win-pic-150x150.jpg 150w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/win-win-pic.jpg 480w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px" /></h3>
<p>Your winning mindset awaits your intention.  Each day and each encounter awaits your intention.  The message?  Define your intention, clearly, and with passion.</p>
<p>Get your mind in the game, see the steps you need to take, open your heart bring in that dream.  Now make a &#8220;manifesting plan&#8221; of necessary steps to carry you through.  Schedule it in your phone, book it out for 90 days, 6 months, or the whole year.  Then practice, practice, and more practice. It is okay to have an off-day or setback &#8211; factor it in.  Then return to what works without the guilt.</p>
<ol>
<li>Think of what you want to manifest.</li>
<li> Make it big and bright</li>
<li> Feelings are so strong, engage your 5 senses.</li>
<li> Open your heart &#8211; bring it in and make it real.</li>
<li> Repeat  2-5 times, Stay in that state as long as possible.</li>
<li> See the steps you need to take, and then put them in your phone calendar.</li>
<li>Take small daily steps and make them manageable and achievable &#8211; then go get it.</li>
</ol>
<p>Enjoy your life during the manifesting, go through the experience, and then continue maintaining that level. Your positive habits will keep you improving, and as you discover things get easier and it becomes a habit.</p>
<p>Look in the mirror.  You are a winner &#8211; and live out loud.  Enjoy the moment. Go on about your day.</p>
<p>Enjoy,   Darielle</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;">&#8220;Calm&#8221; is a Healing Superpower</h1>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-4028 alignleft" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/calm-superpower-256x300.png" alt="" width="201" height="236" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/calm-superpower-256x300.png 256w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/calm-superpower.png 665w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Calm&#8221; is not a passive state and is an enlightened state of being.  In this state, you flow with certainty and balance to a positive outcome.  It means you are relaxed and alert and are aware of your surroundings and yet you have inner peace.  You are grounded, balanced, and ready to face whatever life brings.</p>
<p>Call in the &#8220;Calm&#8221;, you amazing person &#8212; with the power of the Universe.  Heck, it is on speed dial.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it.  The world currently sucks and we have a variety of issues that can skyrocket your blood pressure with anger and fear.  So, what does one do?</p>
<p>What does &#8220;calm&#8221; look like?  Is it a happy look, a sad look, or is it just a feeling?</p>
<h2>Put on a &#8220;Calm&#8221; face</h2>
<h2><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-4030 alignright" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/woman-healing-300x189.jpg" alt="" width="293" height="184" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/woman-healing-300x189.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/woman-healing-1024x646.jpg 1024w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/woman-healing-768x485.jpg 768w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/woman-healing.jpg 1280w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px" /></h2>
<p>Put on a &#8220;Calm&#8221; face.  What does it look like?  Visualize a happy face, like having the face of an eagle.  It has a color and a smell.  Identify with the &#8220;calm&#8221; by giving it a face-smell-taste feeling.  The more we can identify it, the greater we can call it when we need it.  It is a superpower at your discretion and at your beck and call.</p>
<p>To each person, it presents itself differently.  Have a cape and the ability to fly.  The amazing ability to be calm allows you to see a larger picture.</p>
<p>A &#8220;mindset&#8221; is where it all starts when you use the power of your mind, visualization, and intention to live life on your terms in the best and most positive way.  Keeping your mind focused and taking a breath alters your state of being.  Then stepping back from a problem allows you to see the greater picture rather than being involved in the situation.  This creates more options.</p>
<p>Set your &#8220;Mindset&#8221;, then get ready and go!</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-4032" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/step-up-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="257" height="171" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/step-up-300x200.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/step-up.jpg 720w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px" /></p>
<h2>Steps to &#8220;Calm&#8221;:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Take 3 deep breaths.  Breathe in 3.  Hold 3.  Exhale 3.</li>
<li>See this as a temporary situation that&#8217;s making you uncomfortable.  Give it a number</li>
<li>Shrink this thought down as far as you can.</li>
<li>Think of something you love and see every cell filling up on it.</li>
<li>Now see the situation again and give it a number.</li>
<li>Shrink it down again, take a deep breath, and see it dissolve.</li>
<li>Bring back your happy calm face.</li>
<li>Go on with your day.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>K</strong><strong>eep Calm and Live On</strong></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-3960 alignright" src="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/world-with-mask-300x212.jpg" alt="" width="235" height="166" srcset="https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/world-with-mask-300x212.jpg 300w, https://thepositiveworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/world-with-mask.jpg 679w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px" /></p>
<p>Keeping calm helps beat the flu and other maladies.  In a state of worry, fear, or lack, we are simply stuck at the moment.  Sometimes even dizziness sends your immune system into a downward spiral.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Keep Calm and Live On&#8221;</em> is not a cliché.  It is more of a way to live life.  Being calm and collected is of immense help.  It contributes to the health of your immune system and the ability to make the best choices.</p>
<p>Happy thoughts are like sharing a meal with friends or family and being fully present and engaged.  This can do a lot for your immune system and longevity.</p>
<p>You will find many other amazing techniques for protecting health on how to use crystals in my book:                <em><strong> <span style="color: #000080;"><a style="color: #000080;" href="https://www.amazon.com/Dariel-Roskie-Archer/e/B07NY9Z6BL?" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&#8220;The Thriving Code:  A Guide for Healing and Energy Protection&#8221;.</a></span></strong></em></p>
