No Expectations, Endless Possibilities

No Expectations, Endless Possibilities



We expect things in life. We expect things to be as they were in our childhood, the way we were brought up. We expect things to be the way we want them to be, the way we feel things should be. We expect things to be the way we want them to be in our love life, our careers, our families, our vacations and our relationship with others.



"The greater you expect things to be, the harder it is to deal with things that do not go your way!"



Already, I can sense resistance!



Having no expectations is one of the greatest lessons we can learn. This is not an easy concept to wrap your mind around.



In my practice, I see this everyday:



The 30 year old female who gives up other interests, activities, and friends, now that she is in this new relationship. She is expecting that each new relationship is "the one." She feels incomplete without a relationship and she is expecting that he will change into the man she wants him to be.



The 75 year old grandmother, who expects her children and grand children to all be with her on every single holiday.



The 23 year old college grad who expects to have all the computer companies knocking at his door to employ him because he was at the top of his graduating class.



Are you ready to forget about what you think you want, and learn more about the endless possibilities that are available to you?



1. Allow change to happen freely.

2. Let go of old ideas.

3. Embrace new ideas, no matter how different they are from yours.

4. Conflicting thoughts are not a threat. They can be a window of opportunity.

5. Go into EVERY situation with an open mind.

6. Follow a new idea or opportunity where IT leads you, NOT where you want it to go.

7. Take a new situation, one day at a time.

8. Be available mentally, emotionally, spiritually for an approach that may be different than yours.

9. Find the positive in EVERY situation that is presented to you. Why was this situation brought to me?

10. Learn the lesson the Universe is tossing your way.



Progress is not possible unless people embrace new ideas, mind sets, skills and expectations to match the opportunities afforded by the introduction of something new to them!



By allowing yourself to be open to ANYTHING that is new to you and giving it a chance, you can find your life going in the direction of new adventures and endless possibilities!



Try it today!

Ingesting worms on purpose?

I have read several articles in that past week about this new craze that really isn't new.

Apparently, people in Hong Kong are ingesting intestional roundworms to lose weight. Now I have to say that this just totally gives me the creeps and I can't imagine being able to actually swallow a worm. Sadly, they are doing a lot of damage and the Hong Kong government has issued warnings to get folks to stop this practice.

This was something that I have read about in the past and was popular in the early 1900's as a weight loss tool.

I am an advocate of anything alternative and natural, but this is one "remedy" that was better left in the history books.

This one takes the cake!!

If you have ever used an ear candle, please make sure to read the entire article.


www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=4790

The FDA has told 14 of the 15 known companies that manufacture ear candles to cease doing business immediately and are now regulating the candles as a medical device.

This is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

If you are as outraged as I am, please sign the petition at the bottom of the article.

We need to get this reversed.

Feeling Overwhelmed?

Keep Swimming !

Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl,
One was an optimistic soul;
But the other took the gloomy view,
"I shall drown," he cried, "and so will you."

So with a last despairing cry,
He closed his eyes and said, "Good-bye.
"But the other frog, with a merry grinSaid,
"I can't get out, but I won't give in!

I'll swim around till my strength is spent.
For having tried, I'll die content.
"Bravely he swam until it would seem
His struggles began to churn the cream.

On the top of the butter at last he stopped
And out of the bowl he happily hopped.
What is the moral? It's easily found.
If you can't get out -- keep swimming around!

What is a Naturopath?

The term Naturopathy originated in the late 19th Century but the art had been traced back through Germany into Greece, to Hippocrates himself, and beyond. There have always been people who understood that healing will occur naturally in the human body, if it is given what it truly needs --- proper diet, pure water, fresh air, sunlight, exercise, and rest. For these people, the emphasis has not been on finding a disease and killing it, but rather on helping the body establish its own state of good health. In today’s world these people are known as naturopaths. True naturopaths recognize that allopathic health care is sometimes necessary. They also know that many people can achieve and maintain good health through the use of Naturopathy.

When determining the root cause of a client's issues, true naturopaths do not diagnose or treat disease, but instead focus on health and education. They teach clients how to create an environment that is conducive to good health, enabling their clients to make their own choices and be very proactive about their health and well-being.
