Worry Does Not Solve Problems

Tweet By Dennis Sullivan When we have a situation, a trouble, or a problem we can’t resolve, the very first thing we do habitually is, we ask our mind for a solution. Our mind is a recording and playing back unit. If our mind knows, we don’t have to ask. The answer is recorded and automatically pops up. The information comes up instantly. If we need to ask our mind, we already know our mind doesn’t have the answer. Silly isn’t it? We continually ask our mind, when we know our mind doesn’t have the answer? Go into that empty …

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 …

A New Approach on Time Management

Tweet It seems like almost everyone has some ideas related to time management.  And realistically most of us are still not sure how to consistently manage our time.  How about instead of managing our time, that we choose to make better use of our time?!  Perhaps you might agree, that when we are in enjoyment of what we are doing, time seems unlimited.  And when we are uncomfortable, struggling, or rushing for any reason, we are creating time challenges for ourselves. So what this suggests is when we are in the energy or awareness of enjoyment, there appears to be …
