Peace Part 5
August 29, 2025
Over the many years of treating wonderful people who have anxiety disorders, I found that by far, their anxiety was significantly reduced when they felt an overwhelming amount of love and self-confidence. We are scared and anxious when we feel we do not have the resources to meet our challenges. We think we will be a failure, unworthy, or be made a fool of, taken advantage of, criticized, or “fired.” Or we may feel that we will have a huge loss we cannot cope with, or a massive change in our lives we are unprepared to make. But most of all, we do not feel loved the way we need to feel it or love ourselves the way we need to. This collapses our self-worth and belief in ourselves.
Peace Part 4
August 28, 2025
Do you want more peacefulness today? You may have it, regardless of the stressors around you or the things you face. Peacefulness comes when we take time to invite it. But we are so busy, we plow right ahead and do not take the simple steps that bring us peace.
Living Life to Its Fullest Part 2
December 14, 2024
For those who try to live a spiritually conscious life, living to our fullest means having a heart of love. A heart of love not only gives love but receives it. Overflowing Love reduces our pain, heals our sorrow, lowers our level of fear, and instills hope. Even in the most trying times, if we conduct ourselves in love, we face the challenge before us with confidence. Love is the greatest power. It provides courage and inoculates us against fear, anger, shame, and all the passions by connecting us to the Power within us.
