(video) Practicing with the less intense thoughts and feelings really helps when the overwhelming ones wash over!

Broken to Joy: Do You Focus On Fear or Fun
(video) Many of us have a strong habit of focusing on fear… on controlling, fixing, finding fault, etc. Once we realize that we can choose to focus on fun… the first step is noticing!

Broken to Joy: The Pain Isn't Me
(video) Sometimes in the middle of turmoil it helps to remember that my thoughts and feelings are things. They are objects. That I am separate from them.

Broken to Joy: Breaking the Habit of Thinking
(video) It just takes a bit of practice, some time…
It has been helping me the last few days to remember that when I think that I am not in my Heart, that that is just a thought and with that realization I can be in my Heart immediately. We don’t have to do anything to be ourselves, to be in our Hearts because we’re already us, we’re already Here.
What do you do to practice breaking your thinking habit?

Broken to Joy: No One Can Change You But You
(video) “I’m broken.” can be a really strong belief. The good news, and the bad news is that the only person that can change that belief for you is you.
What do you do to shift that belief in yourself?

Broken to Joy: You Aren't Really Broken

What happens for you in those moments? What lets you know that you aren’t really broken?

Broken to Joy: Mind Games
(video) Sometimes we’ve just got to go for it and let our heart speak.
Here is my heart speaking to yours about a topic we all love: how we’re becoming better people through spirituality, through working with our lovely minds… And how that gets in our way sometimes.
This is the second video where I challenged myself to let my heart speak with out mental preparation and to drop back into heart whenever I noticed my mind talking… the mind to heart pauses can be annoying if you want a fast pace!
You are welcome, for your own sanity, to use the pauses to sink deeper into your own heart.
I’d love to know how this experiment goes for you!

Broken to Joy: Moving from Head to Heart?
(video) This video was a personal challenge… to be in my heart!
First, to speak from the heart with no preparation other than to have the intention to talk about something useful that we can all relate to. Second, whenever I start talking from my mind to pause… and drop back into heart space.
So, the pauses in this video are just that: me moving from head to heart. This is the first time I’ve done this on video so it is a slow process…
This could be annoying to watch!
Maybe if you take the challenge yourself, and every time I get quiet you drop as deeply into yourself as you can, then it might be as fun to watch as it was to make! Who knows?!
It would be really cool to hear how this experiment went for you!
Enjoy!,
