This week we will focus on the act of letting go.
Now that is a pretty big topic, so as usual we will keep it short & simple. Letting Go Of Anger Today we start with a biggie ----- ANGER
Just saying the word brings on "negative vibes" or "feelings". Note --- You recall that I have said previously that our feelings will determine the kind of day we have so our job is to control how we feel.
Annnnnd how we "feel" is a result of "what we focus on". In order to "let of anger" we have to replace the thought that makes us angry with something else. Sounds easy enough but we all know how difficult it can be. "Anger thoughts" have a way of creeping into our minds in an endless loop. I find that one of the best way to deal with "anger thoughts" is by engaging All of our senses--- our sight, our smell, our taste, our sense of touch.
Why you ask? So that we don't give "anger" a chance to creep in. Here we go----
1. Look at something or someone that brings you pleasant thoughts.
2. Smell something that brings you pleasure {a flower,coffee,cake, etc.} 3. Drink the coffee, eat the cake, walk in the woods. 4. Hug someone you love, person, animal, walk by the ocean---lake --–touch the water.
I strongly advice that you do something that is active—--involving movement. You want to engage your whole body in the process, thus changing you Focus. Super charge your motivation. Remember---that motion= change. When you move your body you are in a state of constant change.
---WHEN you give in to "anger"---you give up your power---you are not in control--- "anger is" Lastly---Remember to keep a smile on your face---that action helps to trigger thoughts of enjoyment.
So practice this method of controlling "anger" and soon you'll be laughing in "anger's" face. Don't let anger misdirect your motivation.

Yesterday we started by discussing --– "letting go of anger".
It's such a big issue that I want to discuss it just a little more. Do you know someone who seems to be in a constant state of "anger"? --- Perhaps you? Note Our bodies & minds will relive our thoughts in the present. In other words, when you allow you mind to entertain thoughts of "anger" --- this is what happens ---- ---your body produces --- certain chemicals, it activates your muscular & nervous systems, putting your whole body into a "fight ready mode" --– you get tense —-- you yell or you clench your teeth —-- your whole body is involved. --- It does not matter that the event —--- that made you angry happened yesterday or the day before that --- --- your mind & body are experiencing the "anger", now and again, over & over. OK, you got the picture -—-- Look here is the point I am trying to make ---- You can also produce a state of "happiness" --- "contentment" ---peace” ---- motivation, by purposely replacing your "anger" thoughts with positive thoughts. If nothing else stays with you ---- remember this nobody makes you angry ---- YOU allow yourself to become angry. You have the power to control your thoughts (your focus) and thus your "state of being" This is a point that I have been repeating over & over. Use your power wisely. Something else --- there are some people --- who know that they can get "under your skin" and purposely do things to annoy you ------ ---------- WHY?? --------- because it gives them a sense of power —-- of control. DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO STEAL YOUR POWER ---- YOUR JOY. ONCE YOU START TO TAKE BACK YOUR POWER ---- THEY WILL LOOK FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO CONTROL. It takes practice --- they will try to bait you into a confrontation keep your cool, focus on what you want to accomplish, control your state of being. Don't give up your power. ---- MISERY LOVES COMPANY! ---- so of course they want you to join them. Listen to these songs, I hope they enable you to FEEL YOUR POWER.

It is ok to feel disappointment —- it’s part of your emotional internal wiring — that allows you to feel -- joy & pain.

***************************************************************** Aug 4, 2009 Letting Go ------ Welcome back, Yesterday, we continued our discussion on “letting go” with the emphasis on “disappointment” --- I hope that you used the steps I outlined to help you re-focus your energies. Remember that you are not alone. Every single one of us, at one time or another, has or will experience disappointment. The important thing to remember ---- is for us to accept it as a learning experience ----- and --- move on. Break the habit of --- living in the past. You have the power to create- a new & better future for yourself --------------- IF — you allow yourself to do it. YOU is the key word here --- you have the power --- do not give it away. Instead of dwelling on ---------- what could have --- would have --- should have ----- Focus on what you will do.
How? ----- Planning -— write down your new goals. Set reasonable time-lines. Search. What I mean by “search” --- is to get material that talks about you new goal. Get books that talk about others that have achieved the goal you seek.
Talk to people who have reached that same goal. Listen to music --- see a video --- engage your whole person (body) in the process.
By doing these things ----- you are taking you mind off of the disappointment --- and re-focusing it on your new goal. It is a process --- just take one step after the other.
Until tomorrow, keep walking

I received an e-mail which warned about the potential hazards of hand sanitizers. Apparently some children have ingested the liquid either by licking their hands or drinking the liquid. Many if not all hand sanitizers contain 50% or more alcohol ---- more than most alcoholic beverages. So ---- if you have hand sanitizer in your home ---- please insure that children do not have access to it unless they are under the supervision of an adult. If you take your child to day care — please discuss this with the day care providers. Finally if your child is in school, bring this info to the attention of the person in charge. One more word of caution for those of you who have older children --------- Pay attention ---- older children & teenagers have a way of experimenting with things ----– that they shouldn’t. Stay Alert ----- and Stay Safe and stay motivated. Until tomorrow ---- keep your eyes open --- stay informed.

Letting Go --- Let’s Move On Welcome back, This week we have been discussing “letting go” ----- I mentioned a couple of days ago that we need to replace feelings of disappointment with hope, belief and new goals. These feelings can have a tremendous negative impact on your motivation. Sooo Sometimes a picture can be worth a thousand words ---- so –- I hope that this short movie will help you get over the bump in the road.
Stay positive ---- stay focused --- stay motivated — and of course stay empowered Until tomorrow, keep walking Dare To Dream Big Victor ***************************************************************** Aug 7, 2009 Letting Go---For Good Welcome back, We are spending this week discussing letting go which can be easy for some —- but very difficult for others.
Too often you place the blame on yourself and in a sense “punish yourself” by staying stuck in a cycle of despair.
If the disappointment you are experiencing was your fault----then learn from it and move on.
You can’t change the past ----- but you can change your future.
The same rule applies if it wasn’t your fault — learn form it and move on.
What you have now is --- “experience” ---
knowing what you have learned puts you in a stronger & more knowledgeable position than you were before your “disappointment” --- - and hopefully this knowledge will help you in the future.
Focus on all the "good" that you have---be thankful---Let that be your starting point to move on. Lets work on your motivation. I have this wonderful video I want you to look & listen to, it’s called --- Learning To Dance In The Rain
It helps you to understand that sometimes you just have to make the best of whatever is thrown at you & give thanks.
Life will have its “ups” & “downs” --------- how you choose to deal with the “downs” can make all the difference in the world.
Keep your mind focused on all the good possibilities and smile
Until Tomorrow—keep walking
