Rachel...WOW...good work!
You have hit on a key in the process of living
a happy life = being aware of your thoughts and
feelings. Once we are aware of them and getting to know
them, we can begin to practice shifting them. This brings empowerment.
Thanks for sharing your valuable process with us,
Dana

I wonder how we can recognize when we are in fear, you know the subtle almost unrecognizable fear or fear we feel as normal? I have been wanting a particular job for over a year now. I almost had it and then lost it, it came up again and then it went away and now it is back. I wondered, if I am so POWERFUL how come I cant seal the deal? So on a HUNT I went. To notice any and all feelings or thoughts that come up when I think about having this job. I had done this each time the job surfaced for me. The first time I noticed thoughts like, your not good enough to do the job. The second time I noticed a feeling of wanting it in lack. And this time it was guilt. Guilt that I have a great job now and I am getting another one when so many people dont have one. Guilt that I would be leaving my team and boss that trusts me. Guilt that I am ready to lead my own program and move it in the direction of love and compassion to make a difference in this world. What did I do to shift this guilt? I had conversations with myself about my passion, skills and experience. I wrote a letter to my guilt which changed the power fear had and gave the power to my passion, love and higher self. I closed my eyes and pictured my boss. I told her what I liked about her and told her how much I appreciated and enjoyed this opportunity. Now there was one more feeling I noticed during my HUNT, it was fear of pleasure, excitement and happiness. I could THINK in my mind about all the wonderful things I would do with this job or how it would make my life better. I noticed I came up to a wall when I asked myself to FEEL excitement in my heart and body. What did I do to shift this one? I focused on one idea and played with it until I felt excitement about it, then another piece, then another until I had a full feeling of pleasure about the idea. For example, one particular idea was that I could work from home part of the time and make my own schedule out in the field again. In my head I fully embraced this idea. But when I felt it, I felt fear of freedom and pleasure. So my head loved it and my heart feared it. How could it possibly match up and manifest, they were in conflict. The work was... FEELING what it would feel like to get home at a decent hour and have a enjoyable dinner with my children instead of a late-hurry up and eat-its 7:30 at night-dinner. The feeling of trust from an organization that lets me put in my time instead of punching a time clock, etc. That is the WORK, one step, one piece at a time. I must say the work isn't glamorous or always fast but the FREEDOM you feel inside yourself and the eventual manifestations that reflect in your outside word is an amazing and exciting pay off! Thanks for listening. Rachel

Jeanne,
That made my day!
What you said reminded me to talk about how the body
and our emotions effect each other more than we know.
Isn't it amazing how a change in perspective, plus an
open mind can be all we need to go from struggle to ease.
I so appreciate your comment,
Dana

Amazing! Power vs. Fear Of, is just what I was experiencing this morning upon awakening. I woke up feeling a lot of energy coursing through me and my first response was to feel fear about how my body was feeling and then I realized that this is my energy, my power and that this is a good feeling not a bad feeling. In knowing this it changed my morning and how I would welcome it. As usual Dana, we are on the same page! I loved getting on my computer and reading your blog and the affirmation it provided. LOVE IT!

I woke up this morning feeling lousy and then I started to have an anxiety attack reaction. This is something I'm familiar with but haven't experienced in quite awhile. In fact it is more like a panic attack. As my heart was racing I decided to get on the computer and check my e-mail as a distration and I opened up "doing the thing blog". After reading Dana's blog (which hit home exactly). I read the soothing words and then open my palms on my lap, looking out the window at this beautiful sunny day and prayed to God to ease my panic and bring me calm. I started feeling better right away and could feel my heart calming down too. It's amazing what comes to you when you need it most - like Dana's words.
Thank-you
