Make Change Work for You

Make Change Work for You

by Madisyn Taylor

When we experience change in our life we can control our response and reaction to the changes that are happening.

Transformation is a universal constant that affects our lives from the moment we are born until we leave earthly existence behind. At the root of all growth, we find change. Occasionally, change and the circumstances leading up to it are a source of extraordinary joy, but more often than not they provoke feelings of discomfort, fear, or pain. Though many changes are unavoidable, we should not believe that we are subject to the whims of an unpredictable universe. It is our response to those circumstances that will dictate the nature of our experiences. At the heart of every transformation, no matter how chaotic, there is substance. When we no longer resist change and instead regard it as an opportunity to grow, we find that we are far from helpless in the face of it.

Our role as masters of our own destinies is cemented when we choose to make change work in our favor. Yet before we can truly internalize this power, we must accept that we cannot hide from the changes taking place all around us. Existence as we know it will come to an end at one or more points in our lives, making way for some new and perhaps unexpected mode of being. This transformation will take place whether or not we want it to, and so it is up to us to decide whether we will open our eyes to the blessings hidden amidst disorder or close ourselves off from opportunities hiding behind obstacles.

To make change work for you, look constructively at your situation and ask yourself how you can benefit from the transformation that has taken place. As threatening as change can seem, it is often a sign that a new era of your life has begun. If you reevaluate your plans and goals in the days or weeks following a major change, you will discover that you can adapt your ambition to the circumstances before you and even capitalize on these changes. Optimism, enthusiasm, and flexibility will aid you greatly here, as there is nothing to be gained by dwelling on what might have been. Change can hurt in the short term but, if you are willing to embrace it proactively, its lasting impact will nearly always be physically, spiritually, and intellectually transformative.

Skinny Thinking: Taking Off The Weight

by Laura Katleman-Prue

I want to let you in on a little secret: you don't need willpower to stay at your ideal weight for the rest of your life! You just need to change your diet (rather than diet) and learn to keep the mature part of you in charge of your eating. Now it's time to lose the excess weight and get the body you've always wanted--but not just or a month or two--for life!! Imagine not being able to gain weight. "Impossible!" you say? Not so. Many of my students can't gain weight again because they eat with health in mind and no longer think about food. Thinking leads to desire which leads to action. If you stop thinking about food, you can't desire it, and you can't gain weight. Using the simple five-minute daily exercises in this course, you will learn an easy way of eating that will serve you well for the rest of your life. Part II is about changing your diet forever, rather than going on a diet, which is temporary. When you permane! ntly change your diet, you never again regain your lost weight.

Cancer Horoscope: Open and Accepting

Open and Accepting

January 29, 2017

You could be more liberal in your thinking, which may mean that you are open to accepting different points of view today. It might be that you see the value in learning to appreciate ideas that are vastly different from your own, and by embracing the new thoughts and opinions, you recognize that you arrive at a greater understanding of mysteries of the world around you. Being able to suspend judgment no matter what ideas you come across could help you be more receptive to views that are unlike your own. Should you hear something that causes negative or critical thoughts to arise today, you might remind yourself of the value there is in diversity. Being open to something new doesn't mean you have to wholeheartedly agree with it, but simply acknowledge it.

Relinquishing our inner critic allows us to see that all ideas have merit; we will gain deeper insights into the world once we accept this. If we were only to expose ourselves to the ideas that speak to us, our perspective would become skewed. Opening ourselves to alternative ways of thinking, however, challenges us to question everything we know, which in turn will add deeper meaning to our lives. It is through this respect for, and acknowledgement of, differences that we begin to see the beauty that exists in the range of ideas in this world. By being broadminded and nonjudgmental, you will find that truth and understanding exist in many forms.

Cancer Horoscope: Rising to the Challenge

Rising to the Challenge

January , 2017

A mood of potent empowerment may come over you today without warning and seemingly without reason. You may feel a need to take on a greater level of responsibility in your home or at your workplace, or you may be surprised to find yourself eagerly accepting opportunities you might once have passed over out of apprehension. The competence you feel when addressing your newly intense roster of obligations can convince you that you are making use of the whole of your personal power. However, consider that you may still be unaware of the full range of your capabilities. If you are presented with a chance to move beyond the borders of your comfort zone today, you'll likely discover that you can still astonish yourself.

There is little we can't accomplish when we thoroughly explore our capabilities to determine the scope of both our inborn aptitudes and the skills we have developed over time. It's tempting to assume that certain goals are out of our reach, particularly when those ambitions require us to walk a difficult path. But until we have extended ourselves beyond the reach of the familiar, testing ourselves in untried roles and in alien territory, we can never truly know the structure of our potential. The more we explore the world around us, the greater our chances of discovering some innate talent or unknown ability that will catapult us toward a brighter, more prosperous future. As you explore different responsibilities today, you can empower yourself to rise to almost any challenge.
