Release Dis-ease & Flow into Ease
“I am so happy and grateful now that I let everything in my life flow free and easy, and I only focus on what serves my highest and best good.”
This affirmation was given to me by Cory Proctor and she also has it listed in the book My Father Knows The Secret written by her husband Brian Proctor.
Ease and flow can often be stopped in their tracks by struggle and frustration. It even seems as if struggle, dis-ease, and negativity are so much easier than peace and ease. Why is that you might wonder. I am often asked by my clients when they begin working with me, “Why is the bad stuff easier to believe?”
I have pondered this question for years and I searched for answers, sometimes left empty-handed, and other times even more confused. With 24 years of working with hundreds of clients as a Licensed Counselor, Mindset Expert, and Self Image Coach, participating in masterminds, and experiencing my own personal healing journey, I have discovered what seems to be the answer to this mind-boggling question. You see, no one consciously chooses dis-ease, but more often people suffer in negative thoughts, repressed emotions, and achy, pain-stricken bodies – without any hope for something better.
Why would anyone tolerate pain over ease, sadness over joy? I have found that the answer lies in the brain. We are bombarded with negativity all day long – social media, water cooler gossip, toxic relationships, war and violent movies, negative news, and so on. The fight/flight mechanism (also known as the stress response) in the brain that detects danger is constantly on overdrive. This stress response part of the brain does not know the difference between a real threat versus an imagined threat. I often hear people comment “I love those drama shows, they don’t affect me”. Well, the brain is in fact affected and responds to all the input you expose yourself to. ALL THE INPUT.
And I haven’t even touched on the internal dialogue of negative thoughts that the mind can produce – we’ll get to that! Understanding this fight/flight response is critical in creating the change that you desire. If you want to feel at ease, then you need to create ease – in your environment, relationships, and all the input into your brain. When choosing to make this shift, being in a state of absolute awareness, you can begin to really notice what creates a state of dis-ease for you, and what feels good.
Yes, it’s that simple – choose how you want to feel. Wait a minute! I know, hold on! You’re thinking “No way, Dawn, I’ve tried this thinking positive stuff and it doesn’t work!” OK, stay with me, there’s more. This is when it gets really good!
YOU CHOOSE HOW YOU WANT TO CREATE YOUR LIFE!
This is good news. You get to be the creator of your reality. You are no longer sleepwalking through life, on autopilot, letting everything outside of yourself dictate how you want to feel, think and live. This is your opportunity to claim your power!
If you decide (yes, it is your choice) to consciously live your amazing life with ease and flow, you now need to address the mind. The mind is not detected under a microscope like the brain. It is unseeable but runs the entire operation of our being. Here’s the trippy part – are you ready?! You get to decide the stories in your mind – thoughts you tell yourself and the emotions that you CHOOSE to feel.
There seems to be this common theme among humans of “I am not enough”. We have been taught this message from our upbringing, society, and culture, and it gets imprinted in the mind. It is truly what causes dis-ease at the core of each and every one of us. Now, let’s shake things up! Let’s change the story, by one little 3-letter word: NOT. Remove it from the sentence and repeat: “I AM enough”. Aahhhh! Do you feel that? Feel that shift from disconnect and dis-ease to ease, joy, and acceptance!
Yes, it’s a process to re-write your story. It’s a journey of a lifetime! It’s the work that I do with my clients that creates lasting positive change. Let’s get you started! Are you ready for the one simple step to begin the shift from dis-ease to ease and joy?
Every day, write these words for 90 days. It takes about 30 seconds to write, feel the words, put that smile on your face, and begin to choose a new thought, a new feeling today, which will guide your actions, one day at a time.
Here is your new affirmation to write daily: “I am so happy and grateful now that I let everything in my life flow free and easy and I only focus on what serves my highest and best good.”
Place your hands on your heart, take 3 deep breaths, and mentally affirm your new words.
