HOW TO TRANSFORM GRIEF TO GRACE

Life is inherently full of loss.  We all experience the loss of a loved one, a loss of an intimate relationship or job, and even the loss of a dream that was never realized. The irony is that we haven’t really been taught how to deal with loss.  In fact, most people experience shame when they go through the grieving process and some people may even start to create disempowering habits to numb themselves.

It’s not wrong to grieve.  Grieving is a natural part of life, it’s a natural part of love.  It’s actually the deepest part of our love and it shows us the depth of our love.

Joshua has spent many years interviewing and learning from some of the top experts, doctors and scientiest in this field. In this episode he shares with us his own personal journey from grief to grace and how we can apply some of these learnings into our own lives.

 

ETERNITY BEARS

 

Joshua’s brother died on December 28, 2007 and in 2011 he took one of his brother’s favorite t-shirts and turned it into a teddy bear. He says, this is by far the greatest gift he has ever given his mother.

Joshua has shared this gift with many people around the world.  If you are interested in learning how you can get your own eternity bear you can contact Joshua at http://www.joshuawenner.com.

In the coming weeks, my fiancé, Joe Moffett, and I will be teaming up to build the Master Life By Design brand together.  We’ll be starting out by offering a relationship course.  In the spirit of this partnership, today Joe is joining me to talk about self-doubt, fear, and boundaries in a new relationship.

When you’re starting out in a new relationship, it can be difficult to determine if the self-doubt and fears you may be experiencing are your vibes trying to guide you or if it’s simply a trigger caused by an old belief pattern.  Your intuition may be saying one thing, yet it’s not backed by evidence.  So how do you know for sure?

Truthfully in new relationships, there are plenty of moments of uncertainty at the outset.  In order to manage these moments, you first must have clarity.  Are you clear on who you’re getting into a relationship with?  Do they fit what you’re looking for?  Do you even know what you’re looking for in a partner?  This is critical to setting yourself and your relationship up for success.  After all, how can you possibly reach your destination if you have no idea where you’re headed? Get clear on what you’re looking for in a partner and be sure that you’re seeking partners who meet your criteria.

Another important consideration is opening yourself up in a new relationship.  If you want to experience love, you have to lay down all your weapons.  If you have your defenses up, it’s going to be hard to find love.  Self-doubt comes when you’re in your head.  This voice will be screaming at you.  Watch and listen to your intuition.  This voice will whisper from the heart.

Another important element of new relationships involves boundaries, both spoken and unspoken.  When beginning a new relationship, establish “rules of the game” between you and your partner.  After all, you can’t expect somebody to read your mind.  If you want something in a relationship, speak up about it.  If you don’t have this understanding, insecurities or lack of trust will show up and threaten the relationship.

Many people bring baggage and disempowering beliefs from their past relationships.  This is not fair for either party.  Give yourself permission to unload this baggage and go through the healing process of forgiveness.  You wouldn’t be where you are today without everything that happened to you in the past.  Instead of carrying this baggage to protect yourself, take a leap of faith to open yourself up to your new partner.

Lead with an open heart, not with fear.  Be clear on what you want.  Trust your vibes.  Love yourself and know your worth.  Check your baggage from past relationships at the door.  Following these key ideas will help you find the loving relationship you seek.

How many times have you noticed yourself going throughout your day and simply reacting to everything that is coming at you?  Are you taking the time to set your intentions?  If not, perhaps it is time for a new approach.

Today, I want to talk about how to use the power of intention to consciously create your day, allowing you to pre-pave your future, and manifest all your heart’s desires.  There are a few steps you can follow to begin setting your intentions:

GET CLEAR ON WHAT YOU WANT

First, you need to have a clear picture of what you want to create or what you are trying to achieve.  Detach yourself from all the questions surrounding how it should happen, but simply picture the end result.  Turn this dream into motion picture in your mind.  When you see what you want to manifest playing out in your mind, the power of creation is at play.

PERSONALITY CREATES PERSONAL REALITY  

Your thoughts are powerful.  Remember, to live an awakened life means you have become conscious of the thoughts you’re thinking.  Recognize that you are connected to everyone and everything.  You are an energetic being.  Your energy is radiating outward and creating a ripple effect in the universe.  What does your energy say about you?  What ripple effect are you creating?

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE

View every day as laying one brick in front of the other.  Choose thoughts that empower you.  Enter into a state of gratitude.  Do your daily incantations and write in a journal.  Start to live a life of fulfillment and regular positive emotions.  When you’re living your highest, best self, while being in control of your mind, you pre-pave your future.

Remember, thoughts become things.  Set intentions for what you want to create and be conscious of the thoughts you are thinking.  Replace any negative thoughts with those that empower you.  Know that anything is possible when you set your intentions and manifest your hopes and dreams.

To all my male listeners, did you know that women need, want, crave, and desire your presence?  In fact, giving your woman your presence is one of the greatest gifts.

I know this all too well.  When I was struggling and having a tough day just recently, my fiancé was able to give me his presence and embrace.  He simply listened to what I had to say.  He acknowledged how hard I was working.  I felt understood and heard.  This is so very important in a relationship.  We are very open and honest with each other.  We ask each other questions such as, “Would you like me to respond or do you simply want me to listen?”

Interestingly enough, most times women just want someone to listen to them, so they have a chance to get everything out.  They want to feel understood.  Yet men have a tendency to want to “fix” problems right away and may rush in with suggestions or proposed solutions.  As you can see, this can be a formula for a speedbump.

So men, here are a couple of tips on how to be present for your woman:

UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WANT TO BE PRESENT.  If you truly love your woman, her needs are your needs.  You have a love for her that comes from deep within. You want to love, cherish, and honor her.  Being with her in her time of need is simply part of the equation.

PUT EVERYTHING ELSE DOWN.  Lock eyes with her and listen to what she’s saying.  Be present.  Be there for her and just listen!  Don’t try to multi-task.  You’ll appear distracted and you may be missing out on things that she is saying.  She deserves your undivided attention.

SMALL ACTIONS GO A LONG WAY.  Take small, extra actions to show your woman that you care.  Fill up her water bottle.  Open the car door for her.  Adopt these small habits to honor your woman, then watch her open up to you in ways you’ve never seen before.

Remember, one of the greatest gifts you can give your woman is your presence.  Ask yourself, “Am I really being present when she needs me?  Am I there to support, encourage, and listen?”  If not, take action today to improve your relationship!

TAKE ACTION

Don’t forget to take time to ask your woman about her day!  A simple inquiry to allow her to open up to you can make such a difference!

Today I’m sharing a special video with my fiancé, Joe Moffett.  Joe is a peak performance coach and the mastermind behind the website, Master Life By Design.  In this video, we’re discussing simple ways to keep the love and passion alive in your relationship.

FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR PARTNER LIKE YOU DID ON DAY ONE

What attracted you to that person in the first place?  Replay those beginning moments and remind yourself of all the reasons that you love your partner.  Make these thoughts part of your morning ritual, so that you start each day feeling like you did on day one.  Don’t forget to do all the things you did your partner at the beginning of the relationship as time goes on.  These are part of the reason you two fell in love.  So why stop now?

CHECK YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR

Relationships are not without give and take.  You’re going to get into disagreements and you may even be triggered with anger and frustration.  Remember, you can be right or you can be in love.  Practice letting things go.  Be quick to say you’re sorry.  You can easily overcome these speedbumps by being working to find resolution swiftly.

A RELATIONSHIP WITHOUT INTIMACY IS A FRIENDSHIP

You both have needs, and it’s possible that your moments of desire will strike at different times.  Be cautious of rejecting intimacy with your partner.  Repeated and consistent rejections can become a recipe for disaster and lead to resentment.  As time goes on and situations change, being intimate may take more effort.  Add a little spice to your bedroom routine.  Find new ways to make it passionate and exciting again.  There is always room for improvement.

SMALL THINGS MATTER MOST

It could be as simple as a warm touch, letting your partner know you’re there.  It might be a quick text in the morning or a note left behind, letting them know you’re thinking about them.  Maybe they washed the dirty dishes in the sink or took out the trash, just so you wouldn’t have to do it.  Sometimes the little things make all the difference.

Are you trying to figure out how to get the intimacy back in your relationship?  Start taking personal responsibility for how you show up in that relationship.  What else could you be doing?  Condition yourself to figure out what turns you on about your partner, then use that to reignite the spark.

At the end of the day, you must know exactly why you’re in your relationship.  Always be conscious of what you love about your partner.  Develop a shared vision for the future and work together to stay on track.  And perhaps most importantly, stay consistent with all of the actions you are taking and you will see massive results!

Did you know there is a simple step you can take to transform your life?  Taking this action has helped to propel me to a whole new level, raise my vibration, and expand my consciousness.  Simply, I turned off the television.

In fact, it’s been over 12 years since I’ve had cable.  I used to love television and would watch my favorite shows over and over again.  But at one point, I became conscious of how I was wasting my life away.  I made a decision to stop watching TV for a week.  Instead, I did new things such as reading books, painting, and working out.  My world changed.

So how about you?  Do you have really big dreams and perhaps you’re not taking action?

HOW ARE YOU SPENDING YOUR TIME?

Take a hard look at how you’re spending your time.  After all, the average person will spend NINE YEARS watching TV during their lifetime!  Think of all those years you could have used to work toward your goals or spend with family and friends.  That is precious time you’ll never get back.

BECOME CONSCIOUS OF YOUR UNCONSCIOUS HABITS

Perhaps you didn’t even realize you spent that much time watching TV.  Now is the time to dive in and examine what it is that you’re watching.  Do the shows that you watch serve you or are they negatively impacting your energy?   Become conscious of what you’re feeding your brain with and how it makes you feel.  When you watch TV, you are literally being programmed.  Make sure you’re picking programming that aligns with the way you want to feel and the person you want to be.

At the end of the day, if something is important to you, you’ll find a way.  If it’s not, you’ll find an excuse.  Cutting out the TV or at least reducing it will help you increase your productivity and aid you in getting to where you want to be.  Make the most of this little time we have here on Earth.

TAKE ACTION

Feed your spirit!  Find something that piques your interest and go learn about it.  Select a new book to read, check out a new podcast, or watch some inspiring videos on YouTube.

Have you ever really wanted something, but it’s just not showing up as fast as you’d like it to manifest?  What do you do?  How do you respond?

Think about a surprise party.  On the surface, it appears nothing is happening.  You know nothing about what everyone else is doing to prepare for the big event.  You may even feel upset that seemingly everyone has forgotten about your birthday.  Similarly when waiting for what you want, you may feel frustrated.  Why hasn’t it happened yet?  Yet behind the scenes, the Universe is putting everything together in perfect divine order.

So how do you respond?  Will you throw a tantrum because you don’t have it right now?  You are not in a state of allowing.  God and the Universe is feeling everything you are emitting from your vibration.  You must trust the timing of your life and have faith that everything you want is on its way.  Yet you still must do everything in your power to make this manifestation a reality.

When you find yourself feeling frustrated by not yet having what you desire, take a few quick actions:

* Send negativity into the light.

* Get clear on what you want and stand in your power.

* Trust your efforts.

* Continue to take action and have faith.

Keep moving forward to your highest potential by following your highest bliss.  The Universe will respond to your clarity.

Make this day count!

What’s your story?  Are you conscious of the story you tell yourself?  Chances are you are telling each person you meet this same story over and over again, and it just might be a negative story.  Does this sound like you?  I’m broke.  I hate my job.  What you’re essentially saying is that you’re a victim.  Perhaps these limiting beliefs have become ingrained in your mind.  If so, you are putting this negativity out into the world and the universe is responding to your vibration by giving it back to you ten-fold.

So how do we shift the story?

GET CLEAR ON WHAT YOU WANT

Some thoughts are so ingrained, we’re not consciously aware of what we’re speaking into existence.  Often times we desire one thing, but the story we tell is the quite the opposite of our desire.  First you need to get clear about what it is that you want.  Write down what you want in specifics and create incantations for yourself.

DEVELOP A MANTRA

A mantra is something you say to self over and over and is similar to an incantation.  Say it to yourself several times throughout the day to keep your thoughts in check.  For example, my new mantra is “Thank God I’m rich.”  Speaking this mantra helps to put me into a state of gratitude and wipes away the negativity.

BUILD YOUR GRATITUDE

In addition to adopting a mantra, you can build your gratitude by following a few other steps.  Take time each evening to write down three things for which you are grateful or three magical moments that occurred during your day.  Consider listening to peaceful music or soothing nature sounds to help you ease the transition into a peaceful state.  Give thanks and see things as though they have already manifested for you.  When you embrace a state of gratitude, your negative outlook shifts to a positive one.

Following these steps will help you become aware of your limiting thoughts and beliefs and will assist you in replacing your old story with a new, more empowering one.  Adopt an “I AM” statement that embodies your new story.
