Improving Communication – Speaking Clearly For Better Understanding

Have you seen that classic Seinfeld episode, The Puffy Shirt, in which Kramer’s girlfriend is termed a “low-talker.” She speaks so softly that Jerry and George have a really difficult time understanding her. This — in the world of sitcoms — leads to an entanglement of miscommunication which results in a very entertaining episode. This is not to be confused with another episode featuring Judge Reinhold as Elaine’s new boyfriend, the “close talker.” The close talker invades one’s personal space, speaking right into their face — which is very uncomfortable and intimidating — but quite amusing on screen.

And though I certainly don’t consider the Seinfeld series an indicator of communication expertise — by highlighting miscommunication with humor, the show gave us the message of the importance of speaking clearly!

Additionally, most people are familiar with the “fast-talker” and by that I don’t mean the used car salesman stereotype who is trying to fast-talk us into buying something. I used to be guilty of communicating at the speed of light! Maybe that is my Brooklyn upbringing, where I often had to fight to get in a word edgewise. I became aware of it, and have learned to slow my pace, and actually communicate in a more gentle, balanced manner to reflect a more balanced way of life.

Clear communication is essential to being highly-functioning and interactive in today’s fast-paced and sometimes confusing environment. Everyone wants and needs to be heard.

With all the audio and video technology available, it is easy to hear or see how you genuinely sound. If you are not familiar with your own speech, it is worth checking into. You may be surprised at the cadence of your voice. You may even be inspired to do some work on the way you come across.

If you are a “mumbler” and appear almost fearful of articulating, then you can do the work of learning to speak up. Maybe you are not aware of your “low talking,” but if people often ask you to repeat what you’ve said, then maybe it is time to speak more powerfully and let yourself be heard. Enunciating your words at a nicely audible level will improve relationships with everyone in your world. It is also a step toward inspiring more confidence within you.

Of course, don’t completely go in the opposite direction and become a “loud talker” — which can be annoying and discordant. If you do observe yourself on audio or video and realize that you may actually be a loud talker – make a sincere effort to tone it down a notch. People are often put off by loud talkers, and may perceive them as being abrasive, egotistical and difficult to deal with.

If you do happen to catch yourself on video, notice how your eyes react in conjunction with your speaking voice. People tend to be more responsive and understanding if you are able to give them a direct gaze. Don’t be afraid to communicate by looking into their eyes. (On the opposite end of the spectrum, don’t stare them down either.) I think we tend to be somewhat wary of a person who completely averts our gaze and appears afraid to look at us. Of course, this might just be someone’s usual habit and they may be a perfectly nice person — but gaze avoidance tends to make us a bit uncomfortable and cautious.

So what do I suggest? Become a clear talker — and a calm talker. Remaining composed is beneficial in all forms of communication. Pay attention to the way you sound and be aware of your eye contact. Modulate your voice to be appropriate for the situation (screaming is only acceptable at a sporting event!) and be joyful and confident in putting your thoughts across in a caring way. This helps relationships grow, become stronger and more empowered.

Affirmations to help with clear communication:

  • It is easy for me to speak clearly and calmly to share my thoughts and feelings.
  • I enjoy reaching out to connect with people to exchange ideas and information.
  • Every day I find new ways to improve my communication skills.

A Healthy Active Mind – Learn New Skills to Keep Your Brain Vibrant – Ten Tips

Do you have a hard time remembering where you placed the car keys, your wallet, or anything else for that matter? Personally, I find that I am more forgetful as I age (those brain cells are disappearing a little at a time perhaps?) Yet when I speak to others, in a variety of age groups, many often complain of memory loss or lapses, and general lack of focus and clarity.

Both the human mind and human body are meant to be kept active. We get into patterns and habits where we are running on automatic. Our brains are not challenged, and that is unhealthy for us! Life is overly busy and fast-paced, and our brains have to coordinate and process all that is happening around us and within us.

So what can we do to stay vital and keep our minds strong and clear? First of all, exercise your brain! It has been scientifically proven that an active brain continues to grow, and creates new nerve cells that communicate with other cells. In this way, your brain can store and retrieve information more efficiently – the essential task of our memory.

Learning new skills of any kind will challenge your mind and keep it sharp. It is important to actively continue the learning process throughout your entire life and consciously make an effort to keep up your “mental education.” The Mayo Clinic web site offers some of the following suggestions, and I have added several of my own:

  1. Learn a new language or pick up on the one that you learned in high school and can’t remember anymore! Take a refresher course.
  2. Use gaming to sharpen your brain cells: crosswords, Soduku, any word puzzles or other mind-challenging games.
  3. Take up a new hobby or pastime — painting, crafts, cycling, tennis, swimming — anything that interests you.
  4. Learn to play a musical instrument. It’s never to late and you may totally enjoy yourself!
  5. Reading — do this every day, whether it be books or articles in print, articles on the internet, your Kindle, etc. This keeps your mind engaged.
  6. Volunteer somewhere and meet new people while giving an altruistic contribution to the community.
  7. Organize your life and your environment. De-clutter your surroundings and make sure there is a dedicated place for everything — such as your keys, cell phone, etc. It helps to verbalize out loud when you place something down, especially when it is an item not as often used. I kept losing my headphone jack for the land line phone because I would just throw it anywhere. So I bought two of them and now keep each in a specific drawer. When I put one away, I say “Okay, I am now placing the headphone back in its place,” to signal my memory to file this fact away.
  8. Focus – pay attention to one thing at a time. The volume of multi-tasking in our lives tends to distract us. So try to keep your attention on the one specific task at hand.
  9. Positive Thinking – one of my favorites! Do the inner work of keeping your thoughts optimistic and upbeat. This conscious brain/emotion work will help keep your mind busy with enthusiastic, joyful ideas. Be creative with your happy thoughts!
  10. Social interaction – Keep busy with friends and family. Keeping your social calendar filled will help keep away depression, sadness and stress — all of which can contribute to memory loss. So get out there and visit with people; invite them over — and take the initiative to make new friends!

Don’t forget to stay physically active! Research has clearly shown that keeping your body active, mobile and performing well is linked to a clear, healthy-functioning mind. So take time to exercise and keep your physical self in great shape.

What was the first tip I listed – can you remember? If not, get to work on incorporating some of these suggestions into your life in order to maximize your memory and brain power!

Affirmations to help supercharge your memory:

  • I am clear and focused in all that I do.
  • I keep my mind active and vibrant by trying new skills and activities.
  • It is easy for me to release clutter and joyfully organize my life and environment.

Creating Your Future – Take Full Responsibility For Your Life

Is life just a long, wandering journey for you as you amble along the road’s curves and twists? Is it something that happens to you, as opposed to FOR you?  Do you feel you are at the mercy of the way the wind blows?

I used to think that I had no power over the course of my life.  In fact, for a good deal of my younger life, I was CERTAIN I had no power over any of my life.  But that frame of mind only brought on sadness, confusion, anxiety… It took much life experience, enduring and overcoming  obstacles until I had my own “ah ha” moment.  But it wasn’t exactly one moment — it took several years.

No one can smack you on the head with enlightenment!  It has to come to you when you are ready.  But the concept I am talking about is the knowing that you can craft your own life — shape it into the form and beauty that resonates with your own soul, your goals, your passion.  There is a theory that our life here on planet Earth is just a speck of time in terms of our eternalness.  But whether you believe that or not, few would debate how quickly time flows by on this human plane, and years pass with that blink-of-an-eye feeling…

Of course, tough times do occur in one’s lifetime – there is no winding your way around that.  That is part of the life-learning experience.  But adapting and being flexible is the key that unlocks the door to getting through these challenges and finding new light and wisdom after weathering any storm.

You may have heard that now-popular expression: “You are the creator of your own reality.” I totally agree with that.  So do not play victim of circumstance. Do not heap blame on everyone else.

Consciously make the decision to take full responsibility for your life. YOU are the only one who can mold your present minute and create your future. Don’t depend on others to do it for you. Don’t procrastinate about what you really want to do, about those heartfelt aspirations you have. Dive right in and take charge of the moments of your life.  You have the power — understand it, grasp it, believe it — and believe in yourself!

Affirmations for shaping the now and the future:

  • I release past worries and embrace the joy of the now.
  • I align with my passions and create my ideal life.
  • I am responsible for my life decisions and make choices that are good for me!

The Vibrational Frequency of Friendship – When A Friend Is No Longer On the Same Wavelength

You’ve heard the expression “we’re just not on the same wavelength,” meaning that we just don’t view, feel or believe things in a similar way.  Are there people in your life that you just don’t feel are on a similar vibrational frequency as you? Do you question why they are still in your life?  Do you wonder about perhaps moving on and away from them? (I mean figuratively not literally!)

Sometimes relationships seem to “wear out” as people grow and change. We are constantly evolving in our emotional and spiritual attitudes and beliefs. People come and go in our lives — sometimes it just happens and sometimes we consciously get involved in the process.

We’re told by the experts in personal development that we should surround ourselves by people who will by in sync with our aspirations and our energy. How does it make us feel and how does it impact our life when some of our friends don’t feel like a fit for us anymore?

Maybe we truly care about them — but they just don’t resonate with our current life path. Sometimes they clearly have severe negative energy.  Sometimes they get on our case about what we’re up to — they don’t agree with what we are doing. They make it known very forcefully that they don’t approve.

Take an honest look at a relationship like this. Did the relationship change because YOU changed?  Or did it change because the other person changed? If they’ve become crankier and more negative over time — then perhaps they have not lived up to their part of the “friendship contract.” I consider that the unwritten, but implied, agreement that you will support each other over time, understand and respect each other. You will also be a kind of positive cheerleader — routing for each other. But when the other person clearly does not live up to this part of the deal, then you are bound to be disappointed, disillusioned and perhaps almost ready to be done with this person… but not quite.

The most essential thing is to continue to move along on your own journey  with certainty and self-assurance.  Don’t let yourself be brought down.  Create what I’ve heard termed a “vibrational buffer zone” around yourself. Keep your goals strong and your energy high, and continue to move forward in your plans, your life, your ideals.  Don’t let the influence of “naysayers” disrupt your own flow of positive emotion.

How is it best to relate to these people?  Of course, some obviously negative and dysfunctional friendships may need to be completely released. But what about someone in that “gray area?” Make a conscious effort to see that person in their best light. Remember what you first noticed about their personality that drew you to them. If they took the first step toward you, you must have felt appreciated and validated.  Look for the good within that person. What has kept this friendship alive this far? Give this some focused thought.

Above all, keep that person’s light of goodness shining in your heart. See them as you want them to be — in an inspired and radiant way. It is certainly possible that they can once again be the kind of friend that you admire and enjoy. I don’t mean to completely delude yourself.  If someone is really making you uncomfortable, then back away.

I think the bottom line is: do you care about them deeply enough? Do they still add joy, harmony and pleasure to your life on some level? If the balance is still in the favor of you enjoying the friendship, even a little, then definitely make an effort to work with the relationship. It may help to let them know — gently — that you expect more from them (more respect, more enlightenment, etc). Keep your heart and mind open — and find clever ways to stay connected on a level that will work for both you.

Here are your affirmations:

  • I am surrounded by people who are kind, respectful, and enthusiastically support my goals.
  • My close friends bring so much joy into my life experience.
  • I choose to spend time with people who resonate with my own positive energy and uplift me!

Healthier Eating – Adding More Organic Produce and Whole Foods To Your Diet

Are you eating better yet — or are you still having your share of junk food and fast food? In pursuing a path of positive, balanced living, a healthy diet (or at least an improved one) is definitely something we need to commit to on a daily basis!

Greens Pepper Tomatot

Summertime Salads Are Super Healthy!

We are all striving for that harmonious connection of mind, body, spirit and this involves us making physical adjustments — and I don’t mean plastic surgery! I am referring to eating healthier — consuming foods that are more pure, more whole and better for the biological beings that we are.

A healthy way of eating is truly essential to achieve a beneficial body balance that will sustain our well-being for the long term. My one big tip that I always encourage people to follow is to include more fresh fruits and vegetables in their diets. So if I have said this before, I am repeating it with emphasis: these raw foods are extremely beneficial to us. One thing to be aware of is that chemicals and pesticides may be used on most produce and those that are imported from other countries (such as China) are not as monitored in terms of what pesticides are used.

Conventional fruits and veggies (non-organic) do have a risk of contamination from these pesticides. So if you buy conventional, WASH everything really well. Better yet, buy certified organic if you can. Some of the most contaminated crops (sometimes called “the dirty dozen”) are peaches, apples, bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, kale, lettuce, grapes (imported), carrots, and pears. So for these items, stick to the organic version.

Peaches are really considered the worst of all in terms of pesticide residue. Pineapple, mango, kiwi and asparagus are considered to have the least amounts of pesticides — so buying conventional for these is probably fine. But do your research and work more produce into your daily diet.

Become a label reader in the supermarket. Begin to check out the ingredients of those foods you are buying. Most people eat so many processed foods that have long lists of preservatives, food coloring, additives, etc.  If the ingredient list is long and difficult to pronounce — don’t buy the item!

Purer foods really only have one ingredient or limited ingredients.  For example — maple syrup just has one ingredient.  It’s far better than using one of the other well-known brands of pancake syrup. For those who may be curious, here are the ingredients: corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, water, cellulose gum, caramel color, salt, sodium benzoate and sorbic acid [preservatives], artificial and natural flavors, sodium hexametaphosphate.   Which syrup do you think is better — need I ask? So start looking in to what you’re eating — and resolve to bring healthier foods into your everyday dining experience!

Healthy eating affirmations for you:

  • I choose foods that provide healthy fuel for my body.
  • I am what I think and I am what I eat!
  • It is easy for me to include nutritious whole fresh foods in my daily diet.

Stress Management – Do Some Inner Work To Bring More Calm and Balance into Your Life

AffirmationForBalanceDo you believe that stress is completely an external issue — something beyond your control? I suspect that most people do. So maybe it will surprise you that I believe the exact opposite! Yes, I am saying that you should develop the mindset that stress in an internal issue.

What I mean by this is: the major work of reducing the stress level is completely an “inside job.” It is up to you. Accepting this perspective is essential in order to begin to take the first steps in controlling the stress in your life.

“But what about all those people and situations that stress me out” you might be thinking. What about all this issues with my parents, spouse, kids, boss, and just about everybody else? I am stressed out about my job, my income, my health, my body image… the list can go on and on.

You need to stop this cycle of negative thinking immediately and get off the “wheel of stress.” You also need to begin to take complete responsibility for your life, your perceptions and your reactions.

Understand that stress is subjective — each person’s perceptions differ vastly. What may seem stressful to one person might be a breeze for another.

From my own personal experience in the corporate environment I noticed that individual reactions to common stressors varied greatly. The deadlines and workload were demanding and hectic. There were a dozen people handling the work, and about half were completely “stressed-out” all the time. The other half, though undeniably ulta-busy, dealt with the pace as a matter of course, remaining stable and relatively calm. Same company, same corporate environment, same heavy workload. All had been with the company for many years yet showed different stress levels.

Some of this has to do with our individual backgrounds. We all have old audios playing in our heads from the past — we need to toss these out and reinvent the way we think and approach our lives. Easy to say, but of course, not as easy to do. That’s why it takes consistent inner work and patience with yourself.

So all I ask of you at this moment is to think about this. Begin to shift your perspective. Begin to accept the concept that you have control over your life. Promise yourself not to make statements such as “I am so stressed out.” That includes saying them aloud or even thinking them. I challenge you to keep your head talk positive!

Affirmations to help keep stress away:

  • I am calm, focused and balanced in all that I do and I feel good about my life!
  • By thinking and visualizing positively, I sail through my day with joy, productivity and ease.
  • I accept responsibility for my life choices and I choose to make positive ones!

Couple Love – Essentials For Harmonious Long-Term Relationships

By the time you read this, the wedding will be over, the newlyweds will be off on their honeymoon, and their life along the same exciting road will finally be a reality.

This past weekend my stepson was married to a beautiful, bright, sociable, and thoroughly enchanting bride. I am in delightful shock that he is actually married. In the past, he dated a long string of girls, and females in his life were as fleeting as the local ice cream parlor’s “flavor of the week.” And to think he is now joyfully enmeshed in the sanctified bond of matrimony…

What advice do I give him and his new bride? What basic words of wisdom can I impart as the newlyweds embark on their life as an official married couple? There are so many aspects that make up a successful, long-term and loving relationship between two committed people. From my own life experience, I believe that the following four are the top essentials:

1) Communication – I place this at number one because it ranks way up there as a catalyst for long-term couple success. It is critical to maintain open lines of communication in a down-to-earth authentic way. You should be able to discuss anything with your partner. The flip side to communication is listening. Be attentive. Be focused and listen with the genuine goal of understanding exactly what your partner would like to get across.

Do your best to be patient, even in challenging situations. Difficult, heated topics will rear their ugly heads at some point. You need to be truly communicative through “better or worse” and believe me, everyone gets a share of “worse” at some point. Hopefully it will be minimal. Life obstacles and tough situations do place a strain on any healthy relationship. The key is to keep talking, working it out, and just know that in time “this too shall pass.” Sometimes substantial challenges bring a remarkable learning experience, moving you along to a place of greater couple strength and wisdom — even though they might seem debilitating when you are going through them. Make sure to let your partner know that your love is unconditional and you will always be there for him/her.

2) Respect – Shouldn’t it be simple enough to have common courtesy and treat your partner with the highest regard for their wishes and feelings? Absolutely, but we need to be particularly attentive to this or we tend to slide into the gray areas of unconcern and insensitivity. Sometimes we are more respectful toward our coworkers and friends in a work or social setting. Yet, we have no problem unleashing our anger or impatience on our partner. This takes work (for me too as I tend to sometimes go back to old patterns that I learned when growing up – patterns that I have done much to move away from) and conscious effort, but will help make your couple relationship warm, radiant and fulfilling for both of you.

3) Appreciation – Of course you love your partner/spouse and of course you appreciate them — but do you show it regularly? Do you verbalize it on a daily basis? Share your enthusiasm for all the positive aspects of your partner — after all, you are their greatest fan (you chose them, you committed to them, didn’t you?) You are there to support and encourage, and one way to do this is let them know how much you appreciate their being in your life. On a day-to-day basis, let your statements of gratitude flow from the heart and don’t be shy about verbalizing. Begin a lifelong pattern of appreciation. Your partner will be more than pleased and your bond will be uplifted.

4) “Team” Management – Achieving an energetic/emotional long-term balance for your “team” (that means the two of you!) will ensure that your life journey is a serene and harmonious one. There are really two parts to this.

a) Allowing – This is the important concept of accepting and understanding that your partner should have the freedom to follow his/her own life path. This does not suggest that they are going to live a separate life from you, and do whatever they want whenever they want. This just means that you need to allow your partner to explore life in order to achieve personal, emotional and spiritual growth in a way that is unique and right for them. You may not always agree with all of it, but be understanding. Remember the significance of point #1 – keep those lines of communication open!

One must be able to have that feeling of personal independence, of being the creator of their life — and the ultimate result is that they will be happier, and your overall relationship will be infused with greater joy. Of course, in turn, your partner must treat your life-growth-path with the same attitude of allowing.

b) Separateness/Togetherness and Balance – Achieving that perfect blend of alone-time (individual time) while still walking arm-in-arm along the couple road is the real challenge. Each couple will work out that ideal balance in their own way, but make that effort to get to this place, for it is ultimately the most satisfying for long-term harmony. Connect on a daily basis with affection, devotion, and a sense of humor! Laughter is a great spark of connection, as long as you are laughing WITH your partner and not at them. And always be open to revealing your authentic heart.

It is perfectly fine for each of you to pursue separate activities (not everyone wants to zumba — or play poker) but make sure that there is substantial, quality together time. Common interests, activities and beliefs are what most likely brought you together in the first place. Having meals together is a real bonding time, so even if your work or life schedules keep you apart for much of your daily time (or in some cases days at a time), make sure to “break bread” and share your thoughts, your dreams, your aspirations and above all, your love.

Some affirmations to help keep the bond strong:

  • My actions clearly show the depth of the love, caring and support I feel for my partner/spouse.
  • I joyfully provide support and understanding through all life’s challenges.
  • I always treat the one I love with the utmost respect for their feelings, wishes and life choices.

Attracting Better Health – Focus On Wellness Instead of Illness

When I usually catch up with people over the phone or in person, the conversation seems to quickly turn to the individual’s state of health – or more often, their state of non-health.  Of course, health plays a major role in our lives, but why is it that people seem to just zero in so strongly on their aches and pains?  Statements like “Oh my back is just horrible” or “the pain in my neck is killing me” are common.

When I speak with certain people, I am almost afraid to ask the “how are you feeling?” line because I know that I am in for a tirade of symptoms, pains and negativity. Of course, trying to be a patient and caring listener, I am always open to my friends and family sharing whatever they would like to share. I have my own aches and discomfort too, but sometimes the focus on pain seems almost obsessive.

It is helpful use a little Law of Attraction thinking to focus on wellness as opposed to illness. Whatever we give our full attention to “expands” and by doing so only serves to bring more of the same to us. So if you are constantly focusing on the pain in your lower back, it will only get worse. If you expect your back to hurt, and you anticipate pain, then you are sure to get it!

However, if you direct your thoughts away from illness and consistently re-focus them on wellness, you will most likely see improved well-being! If this is a tall order at first, just begin by taking attention away from the area of concern. For instance, if you feel yourself getting too focused on your back, don’t let your mind run away with you. “Well, if I do that (activity), my back is going to be really bad” or “I wish my back wasn’t so painful.” Stop making those statements to yourself.

Any time you start to get into the loop of illness thinking – get up or physically move into another area, space, etc. and distract yourself with something positive! This can be an affirmation, something amusing, spending time with an upbeat person or loving pet — anything that will make you feel good and take the emphasis off any pain.

Of course, if you are due for a full physical at the doctor’s office, or if you have a serious concern, then you must fully check it out. However, for most of life’s little pains, we can minimize or eliminate them. Biologically, our bodies are built for movement and motion. Many of us today are extremely sedentary in our lifestyles, both at home and on the job. As we age, we are more likely to develop physical issues, so it’s even more essential to make every effort to keep our bodies limber and in motion.

If you are sitting all day in front of a computer screen, for instance, make sure to include breaks to get up, stretch, walk around and keep yourself limber. Going to the gym, walking outdoors, any cardio regimen are certainly ideal, but if that’s not going to happen for you, just make sure to be in physical motion through at least part of your day. Mentally, that will help you feel better too!

While you are doing whatever activity or movement you choose, congratulate yourself on taking time to concentrate on your well-being. Let yourself feel good about taking the time (even just a few minutes) to be kind to your musculoskeletal system and your joints!

Here are Affirmations to use:

  • I keep limber and toned by incorporating movement into my everyday life!
  • I take good care of my physical being, and I enjoy vibrant health.
  • I use my mind to rejuvenate my body, and visualize myself as completely healthy and happy.

The Splendor of the Now

Sunset Inspiration Friday Musing in Poetry Form

Today I revel in the splendor of the now,
feel each moment brush sweetly against my skin
I embrace the world that surrounds me,
the sounds, the scents, and vibrations – I breathe in

Today I make plans for tomorrow
and choose goals that align with my passion
I infuse these with light, love and feeling
as I move forward with inspired action

Today I wrap myself in the knowing
that I can shape my life with each choice
I savor the dance of each moment
reaching out with my own unique voice…

Inner Guidance System – Tune In To The Wisdom of Your Intuition

Do you often have a hunch, a “gut” feeling in your stomach, or a very strong inclination about something? We all do at times — this is the very unique, very wise voice of our own personal intuition “speaking” to us! How many times do you just write it off as unfounded — or just completely ignore it?

By paying more attention, really focusing in on our inner guidance system — our lives can be greatly enriched. It has taken me a long time to come to this place of trust, even though I have had strong sense of intuition throughout my lifetime. But learning to trust has been a process. Now that I am tuning in and truly listening, it has made a huge positive difference in my life, in my perspective and in my happiness.

I wholeheartedly believe we are all born with strong, competent inner guidance systems. However, as we grow, what we often learn from parents, teachers, and society in general, brings us far away from that sense of knowing in our heart which path, which action might benefit us. That intuitive aspect sometimes becomes buried deep within us — but it is always there, always ready to spring to life to assist us in our individual  journey. You just need to access it!

The first basic step is simply recognizing its existence. Know that you have this innate system that can steer you toward better choices for yourself.

Then you need to quiet your mind, tune in, and be open to receive the answers and direction you need. Listen to the rhythm and emotions of your body. If a person or situation starts your stomach churning or you feel a heaviness in your chest/heart area, or an inkling of agitation or dread, examine the scenario before moving ahead.

Even if you get sense of something just not feeling quite right or quite balanced — then pay attention! Sometimes your very safety depends on your intuitive emotions. Other times, your life path choices — anything from simple to major life decisions — can benefit from tuning into your own guidance system. Become more confident about trusting this intuitive voice!

Affirmations to Help Access Your Inner Guidance:

  • Tapping into my intuitive sense is easy for me.
  • I recognize and trust my intuition to help me make clear, beneficial decisions.
  • I am open to receiving the answers and choices that are right for my life path.
