As what we always hear… Life is short, so why not use it at it’s best? But the fearful side of you will just say tomorrow’s looking good. Does this feel like a familiar refrain? You see yourself in a completely different future from the life you are living right now. You just have to get through the next couple of years, and then you’ll be… what? Living the life of your dreams in a log cabin near a sparkling stream? Tramping the dusty roads of India? Running your own boutique B&B? Trust me, unless you start today, you’ll still be here in two, five, or twenty years. Dear reader, you need to know why it is important to take risks – now. Not tomorrow or next year, but right now.

Your Future is Now

You might have big plans for your future, and that’s great, but your life isn’t in your future; it’s happening now. This moment is the only time and place your life can unfold. The future is nowhere. It doesn’t exist. Anything could destroy your plans, throw you off track, and delay the dream. So why wait? Your beautiful life is unfolding in the present moment. Can you begin to take risks now in order to live the dream?

Can You Afford Not To Take Risks?

There’s only one currency worth more than gold, more than diamonds, more than all the riches in the world, and that is time. Everything you do is dependent upon time. Can you afford to squander any more of your precious time on unimportant things?

A Quick Life Assessment:

• • Do you feel fulfilled by your work?
  • Are you happy with your relationships?
  • Do you see problems as challenges?
  • Are you content with your own company?
  • Do you have a passion that is all yours?

If your answer to all five questions is ‘yes,’ you’re doing everything right. If you feel discomfort with any of the questions, you might want to delve a little deeper. Perhaps it’s time to make some changes? And, given that your time is currency, can you afford not to take one small risk today to make the first of those changes?

Connect With Your Authentic Self

Do you sometimes feel as though you are selling your soul to make a dime? Or to please someone else? Is there something you feel you want to do but put your own wishes aside? This is a disconnection from who you are. Your soul needs to express your authentic self, but you are blocking it. Take a risk to make the first small step, and you will begin to connect to the real you. Doesn’t matter what it is – maybe you have always wanted to be an artist, so buy a book on drawing and do the exercises. Maybe you were a good singer back in the day – go get a ‘taster’ singing lesson. Perhaps you fancied running your own business making chocolate tarts – start reading about how to start a kitchen table business. How about fronting a rock band? You’ll need guitar lessons first…

Taking Risks Gives You Confidence

Once you take that step, you will gain confidence. You took a risk, stepped outside your comfort zone, and boy, do you feel good. The next step will be easier than the first. It won’t feel like risk-taking but a natural progression.

You Learn When Taking Risks

Your brain begins making those new connections as soon as you take that first risk. Putting fear aside, donning your cloak of invincibility, and getting into a new situation, gets your mind into creative mode. You learn to think differently. For example, Lucy overcame her reluctance and did something she always wanted to do. Acting. She signed up for a drama class at her local community college. She was terrified even to do a read-through, but she did it anyway. She discovered that stepping into another character forced her to learn things about herself and how she interacts with people. She also learned that she will always feel fear before performing, but she knows that as soon as she is on stage, the fear disappears, and she connects with her inner being.

Your Big Adventure

You don’t have to leave home to go on an adventure. You can begin right where you are. There’s a myth that seems to percolate society that you can only have a great, fulfilling life if you are cycling in the Andes or ballooning over the Alps. Your lifetime adventure can begin at home if you are willing to take a risk.

Do you know many people on your block? In your building? In your street? The way we live, today means that most people don’t have a clue about their neighbors. So how about making it your mission to get to know at least five of your neighbors? Does that sound scary?

You have no idea whether you are missing out on the best friendships of your life simply because you didn’t make an effort to introduce yourself. Instead of counting up your Facebook friends, make some real live human ones right where you live. Of course, it means taking a risk. A good place to begin is with an elderly neighbor. Knock on their door before going to the store and ask if they need anything picked up. Or, perhaps you pass the same person every day – begin to say hello. Then one day, stop and introduce yourself. Maybe you have to take your dog out and see other familiar dog walkers – engage them in conversation. You might be able to arrange an informal dog-walking event.

Once you start thinking about how to engage with your neighbors, you’ll come up with lots of ideas. How about turning a piece of waste ground into a community garden? Imagine if you were the catalyst that brought your neighbors together in a newfound community spirit. What if you were the reason someone looked forward to their day? What if you could pour your creativity into building a neighborhood that cherished and nurtured its inhabitants? Imagine how the old and young could get together. Think of the power a cohesive group would have when it comes to important local decisions. You could do this. Take a risk and knock on the first door.

It’s Your Life, Your Time

Life is far too short to live in a less-than-fulfilling way. This is about your time. Your precious currency. How will you spend it today? Take risks; you’ll be happy you did.

Is there a time you feel blocked from your intuition and higher wisdom? Is there a time when you have trouble making decisions or understanding your life’s path? Journaling is a wonderful tool to help you communicate with your higher self and receive guidance throughout life’s journey.

WHAT IS A JOURNAL?

A journal is more than just a diary. While it can help you document your daily thoughts, feelings, and activities, it can be so much more. This is where you can get in touch and reconnect with the “real you,” your higher self. No topic or feeling is off-limits in your journal.

It is meant to be private for your eyes and uses only. Journals physically come in all shapes and sizes. They can range from a simple notebook to an elaborately decorated bound volume. Journaling software and programs are even available for your computer. Even Microsoft Word can serve as a journal. No matter which you choose, make sure it’s personal and private.

Journaling is a wonderful tool to help you communicate with your higher self and receive guidance throughout life’s journey.

HOW TO START

A good way to begin a new journal is to set your intention. Commit to using your journal regularly. Whether for 10 minutes every day or an hour once a week, set aside a time when you can write in your journal undisturbed and without distractions. Once you have decided on the schedule, write it down as your first entry.

For example, “Today, on this date, I vow to make a date with my higher self through this journal every day for 10 minutes.” Seeing this in print will help to reinforce the promise in your mind. The next step is to start writing. The next section has some different exercises to help get you going.

JOURNALING EXERCISES

Perhaps you have a particular question or problem. Your higher self knows the best answer. You can use your journal to help you find it. Start by writing down your question or problem. Use a different color ink to represent your higher self’s voice.

If using software, change the color or font to distinguish between you and your higher self. Then mentally, ask your higher self for guidance. Now start writing the first thing that pops into your head. Don’t worry if it makes no sense or is grammatically correct. Just keep writing and stop when it feels like you’re done. You might be quite surprised at the message you receive.

A similar exercise is to ask the question of your higher self, “What do I need to know most right now?” Perform the same routine with different color inks or fonts and write whatever comes to mind. Again, a lot of it might not make sense, but there will probably be a word or phrase that just clicks for you.

Another exercise to try is using your non-dominant hand when writing to represent your higher self’s voice. Although it may be difficult and feel awkward, it does provide a shift in the brain and can help you gain a new perspective in connecting with your higher self.

Finally, try a letter-writing exercise in your journal. Write a hello letter to your higher self, telling it what your expectations are and what you would like to learn from it. Discuss your spiritual goals and life path. Express gratitude to your higher self for being there and guiding you. On the opposite side, have your higher self write a letter back to you. Experiment and see what happens!

KEEP GOING

Continue your journaling ritual faithfully, and your intuition and higher self-wisdom will shine through. You might also find that insight comes to you more quickly and easily. Your journal entries will evolve and change as you do. You can even go back and evaluate your growth as time goes by. Most likely, you will be amazed at your progress. Good luck with your journaling!

Are you experiencing unexplained pain, fatigue, or illness? Are you having horrible nightmares, experiencing doubt about your direction in life, or feeling like you’re being watched?

You may be under psychic attack.

A psychic attack is a negative energy that someone is sending you with the intent to harm you, your life, and possibly everything you have. This harm may be aimed toward your emotions, spirit, physical being or mental state.

Most of the time, the psychic attack is inflicted by someone you know. Even friends or family members may be attacking. The attacks are not always intentional, as it’s possible to send negative energy unconsciously. When it’s sent unconsciously, the person sending the energy is unaware that they are doing so. Jealousy, envy, or anger are usually the motivating feelings behind it.

A conscious attack is launched by someone who deliberately means harm to you. Conscious psychic attacks can be compared to black magic, witchcraft, and spell casting.

Reasons Behind a Psychic Attack

The negative energies of a psychic attack are projected in the form of thoughts based mainly upon the attacker’s jealousy toward you. But they can also happen for many reasons other than jealousy. Here are some other reasons why someone may attack you psychically:

• Your life is progressing forward, while theirs is stagnant.
• They want something you have that they don’t: your looks, your career, your spouse, your environment.
• They are living in their dark side at the moment.
• They have no self-conviction.
• They are full of fear.

If you consciously send negative energy toward someone else with the intention of inflicting harm, then what you send is exactly what you will attract upon yourself in your own life. The Universal Law of Karma states that “as you sow, so shall you reap;” in other words, what goes around comes back to you but multiplied.

Symptoms of a Psychic Attack

While no two psychic attacks are the same, here are some symptoms you may experience if you’re under a psychic attack.

• You’re having very frightening nightmares.
• You see your attacker in a devilish way, either in your dreams, your meditations, or front and center in your thoughts.
• You constantly feel tired and depleted of energy for no apparent reason.
• You’re experiencing pains in the same place at the same time on a regular basis or in areas of weakness that your attacker is already aware of.
• You can’t concentrate and feel lazy and lethargic when facing routine tasks.
• You’re experiencing painful or severe headaches accompanied by vomiting or dizziness.
• You’re questioning or feeling doubtful about your direction in life, even after having been aware of your direction beforehand.
• You feel like you’re being watched and see shadows around you from the corner of your eye, even when you’re certain you’re alone.
• You feel like you’re beginning to have a heart attack.
• You want to commit suicide.

Guarding Yourself Against Psychic Attacks

Becoming aware of the psychic attack by identifying the unusual events that are taking place in your life will help diminish the attack’s negative effects.

Here are some other ways you can reduce the impact of the attack:

• Be strong and work on yourself.The most important way of protecting yourself from the effect of a psychic attack is to be emotionally strong and stable. Don’t allow others to identify with your fears because this reveals your weakness. Try to identify with your emotional issues and fears and heal them. This protects you from being emotionally vulnerable and makes you less likely to absorb the effects of the negative energies.
• Ask your spirit guides and guardian angels for guidance.Ask them to protect you and help you stop the attack. Even if you don’t know them or believe in them, asking them is enough. While your faith is not required for them to do their work, it does help.
• Don’t mirror your attacker’s actions.Do notsend similar energy or thoughts against your attacker. Send only the pure white energy of light directly from the universe, the source, or from the god of your own beliefs.
• Send loving thoughts.Remember that your attacker is the weaker one. So instead of returning thoughts of anger, hate, or fear to them, try to feel compassion toward them and send light, love, and blessings to help them see and heal their own darkness.
• Protect yourself.Every time your attacker comes into your mind, imagine that you are showering them with the pure light of the universe. Always change the way you send your light by imagining it being sent in different ways, and always remember to keep your protection around you.

Remember, psychic attacks have little to do with you. They have more to do with the personal weakness of the attacker.

Life moves really fast, and it seems that it is all we can do to keep up.  Unfortunately, sometimes we forget to take care of ourselves.  And while the vacuuming and dusting can wait another day, can your sense of well-being really wait? 

Here are 10 ways to help yourself and put yourself at the forefront:

1. Take a deep breath. By breathing deeply, we can oxygenate the blood and cause the release of endorphins. Endorphins reduce stress and pain.
2. Don’t overthink! Do you get in your own way by obsessing and worrying? Instead, practice being in the moment. It’s not easy, but you can do it with practice.
3. Forgive others. This means you too! It is amazing how important forgiveness is to free your soul for full happiness. The longer you hold on to a grudge, the longer you hold yourself back.  Think of it this way; you have to let go to grow.
4. Remember your strengths and attributes. Remind yourself how great you truly are.  Think about what you truly excel at and listen.  Applaud your success, and don’t dwell on the negatives.
5. Create joyful rituals.  Build a set of easy routines to help you find peace within yourself.  It can be as easy as setting aside time to have a cup of tea a the end of the day.  Sticking to this habit can help you find peace.
6. Enjoy your friends. As life goes by, you begin to realize that life is about the people you share your time with. The problems you face are easier to handle when you have a good friend by your side.
7. Disconnect yourself from the world. It’s easier than you think. It will help you calm down.
8. Exercise regularly.  Take the time. If you only have a few minutes, take that few minutes to do it. It will center you and increase your blood flow.
9. Find ways to give to others. There are always ways to help out and be of service. You can volunteer to help animals, the environment, or anything else.
10. Be comfortable with yourself. Remember that you are enough for yourself.
