Ever have one of those days where everything seems to go wrong or you are just generally feeling frustrated? Just one of those days? You can shift your mood even if it seems like that,and you can do it a way that is natural,and easy. Gratitude. Easily guide your thoughts to what you HAVE achieved today,instead of what is not yet working for you. Can't do that? Maybe the day has had that little of achievement in your eyes right now,in which case,think in general what do you have to be grateful for. This will relax you and shift your mood.
Be patient with yourself. Sometimes,slow and steady wins the race. Keep your focus. Be happy. Stay in the moment.

CLEARING LIMITING BELIEFS
Ever feel like your happy,but could be happier? Or,like your able to have some level of success but not take it past a certain point? This is due to limiting beliefs. Often times,there is something hindering us,that we may not even recognize because it is on a subconscious level. It's basically an energy block.
There may something right now that is affecting you but not as much as you think that is blocking you. Clearing this up will free you. Some limiting beliefs can affect you so much life may not even feel as meaningful to you. The first step is to find a limiting belief. The first one that may be affecting you the most at the current time in reality. Take a look at something that has been bothering you the most or has been on your mind a lot. Never mind if the issue may SEEM really petty. If it's on your mind a lot lately,it's an excellent place to start. Look at something that maybe you are complaining about. Uncover the underlying belief behind that. General limiting beliefs can be "I don't deserve to earn a lot of money." Or,"I'm not good enough." Only you can go deeper and more specific to an exact limiting belief. Sometimes exact limiting beliefs can affect us,too. Listen closely to what you think about and speak about often. How is it hindering you? "I can't find a good job because I never went to college." "I can never find a good parking spot."
Once you've picked your first limiting belief,you need to clear it. You can clear a limiting belief in several ways. One is you can simply acknowledge it,and decide not to believe it anymore. Often,especially for more deeply rooted limiting beliefs,we will have to do more work on them then that,however. Affirmations are another route. Affirming creates. It is a a way to re-wire your subconscious,basically. As you repeatedly say an affirmation,your subconscious starts to believe it. So,you pick your limiting belief,say "I can never find a good parking spot." And,switch it to "I am always finding the perfect parking spot." You will repeat this often until you no longer feel you need to. Another way to clear a limiting belief is with afformations. Afformations change your mind through questions. So,instead of "I can never find a good parking spot," you would say "Why am I always so lucky to find such a perfect parking spot EVERY time?"
Another way to clear limiting beliefs that I find to be the quickest way is EFT. EFT stands for emotional freedom technique. You basically tap on meridian points. It is based on the same healing principles used in acupuncture,but without the needles. More info about EFT can be found here:http://www.bradyates.net/eft.html Keep in mind everyone has some limiting beliefs. Sometimes,when we don't know what is bothering us,and we think we are doing all that we can to be happy and/or successful,there may be some limiting belief hindering us more then we realize. It's important to clear these energy blockages. You deserve to feel good.

Ego-Desires Vs. Heart/Spirit Desires
Just because you like something,doesn't mean it's your calling. Or that you're meant to do it. There is a difference between ego desires and heart desires. When you are encouraged to follow your desires on this blog,it's about heart desires.
You can like fashion. It doesn't mean you are meant to be in the fashion industry. You can like cooking. It doesn't mean you are meant to be a chef. Heart-desire callings are something that are you in every fiber of your being. You perhaps dreamed of it since you were little. And,as you are it now,it's become even part of a lifestyle for you. It is a love for you.
You can like something and still take joy in it.For example,if you like fashion,you can take joy in buying new shoes. If you like cooking,you can take joy in it by entertaining for friends at your home. If you like dancing,you can go out dancing at clubs,and even take dance classes. It is the joie de vivre. Not everything you enjoy is going to be your calling.
When you follow what is an ego-desire,you will be basically swimming upstream. Things flow more when you follow the heart desire. There will always be more resistances to an ego-desire because it is not what's natural. It will be a more difficult path,not to mention,it will likely keep the focus off of you following your true heart desire calling.
As for heart desire calling,you can have more then one of course. And,a heart desire can be seemingly superficial or about vanity. Spirit is abundance. It IS possible for someone's heart desire to be a millionaire. Or,to wear Lanvin. We are allowed to have these seemingly frivolous desires that bring us authentic joy. We shouldn't become attached to them however or we become materialistic and chasing which is off the path.When you have the desire it’s because it makes you feel happy,and validated. That’s a heart desire.An ego-desire will leave you feeling empty though or the feeling of joy will be false or minimal because you think it’s what you desire but it’s not. Either your true desire is clouded or you are chasing things you think will appear to make you look better to others. That is never a true desire and your inner knowing tries to tell you this if you just listen.
People with ego-desires rarely, if ever, last long in their pursuing because their motivation is not true. They aren’t really motivated to do it,but more into the idea of it because it sounds cool or they think it's what they desire but it's not. It could even be a competitiveness that is the only thing that's motivating them. That will drain their energy though because it it's a negative energy.They are swimming upstream.It would take ALOT more effort for someone following an ego-desire to make manifest then a person following a heart-desire. It’s unnatural resistance.
Be authentic. It's easier to see when you start to veer off the path when you stay true to yourself and then just simply adjust the sails. Focus on what brings you authentic joy. There is so much goodness for you in the world. :)
