LOOK at What’s Right

Tweet By Dennis Sullivan   Go ahead, admit it. You like to look at what’s wrong, don’t you? It’s okay. Admit it. Self honesty is a good thing and helps you get on track. Actually, it’s not you that like to look at what’s wrong. It’s your mind that likes to look at what’s wrong and you’re unconsciously going along with that mind of yours. You don’t see it happening because you’re living unconscious to what your mind is telling you to do. You’re living on automatic, meaning you react automatically to whatever happens. Let’s get really direct about this. …

Eliminate This and Be Happy

Tweet An interesting thought popped into my mind.  Let’s see if you think it’s interesting too.  Here’s the thought: “Loose lips sink ships”.  We’ve all heard that old wartime saying.  How about an updated version?  “Loose lips sink lives.” Consider love and hate. Let’s start with hate. I’m somewhat an authority on it.  I’ve been a hater.  It’s true.Before Larry Crane came along in my life andintroduced me to Lester Levenson, I was a hater.  I was pretty darn good (or should I say, bad at it), to be perfectly straight with you.  Am I all done being a hater …

What’s bothering you?

Tweet Perhaps you’ll agree that when something is bothering you, it prevents you from being at peace.  In truth, the more we try to figure out “what-to-do” or “what-not-to-do” actually keeps the situation from changing.  Take a moment and look at this consideration more carefully.  Whatever we are focused on, is what we are creating for ourselves.  So the more we dislike someone or something, is causing us to actually attract more of those unwanted situations into our life.  As perplexed and almost backwards as this appears, when we are thinking negatively or from a limited point of view, we …

Are you paying attention to your aversions?

Tweet We know that an aversion is anything that we don’t like.  We also know that it’s also something we choose to avoid.  Basically an aversion feels like, “Get that away from me!”  And yet we know what we resist, will persist.  When we are see things as being a problem it is only because we are resisting.  We don’t really want to see what we are holding in mind.  Remember that where there is an attachment, there is also an aversion.  On the attachment side, we have a subconscious need to have something (someone) in our life.  The aversion …

Emotional Eating: What is it telling us?

Tweet Emotional eating is often an unhealthy and uncomfortable attempt of trying to distract ourselves from facing something we deem as unpleasant.  So often we overeat without realizing we may be trying to cover up some level of insecurity.  We may also be using food as a means to avoid doing something.  We may also use food at times to ward off feeling bored or unmotivated.  At times we may use food to offer ourselves some level of comfort.  We may also use food as a measure of reward—similar to what our parents did when we were young such as …
