Golden Roller Coaster of Life

You are riding the Golden Roller Coaster of Life.

How is that going for you?

Are you spending most of your ride in fear, eyes shut?

Or are you present with whatever is happening, even fear and the wildness of the experience?

Closing your eyes to the present moment doesn’t take away what is real in this moment – not the happy moments or the ones that we struggle to avoid. Struggling to avoid sadness, anger or fear only pushes those feeling down, eventually coming to the surface with more force than their original energy.

Are you able to breath into the fears and the joys this roller coaster ride brings you? […]

Simple Happiness and Abundance

What brings you simple abundance and happiness?

Sometimes we are forced to slow down and keep things simple; most of us appreciate this momentary retreat from the complex lives we’ve created.

Why not choose voluntary simplicity. Not a return to a more primitive way of life (or maybe), but a daily, weekly, moment-to-moment choice to breathe more fully, relax, let go of the desire to be or have more.

5 Money IQ Clues

What is your relationship with money or abundance?

Is it fearful and resistant? Or comfortable and accepting?

If you are having strong negative feelings, or body sensations, about this then you probably resist having a healthy relationship with money. This is not unusual.

If you are feeling that you've tried to attract abundance but have never been able to, you are probably resisting.

Unfortunately, resistance takes many paths as it settles into a way of life (with a poverty mentality).

Fortunately, these paths can be redirected establishing a healthier relationship with money (with a joyful mentality).

If you want to shift your relationship with money, follow the 5 Money IQ (Inner Quest) Clues from fearful to fruitful.

Understanding and Accepting Bad Habits

If you are like most, you have had least one long standing bad habit that you have vowed to change unsuccessfully many times.

The cycle of continuing in a bad or problematic habit can feel endless, can create an internal environment of shame and guilt which leads to more of the bad habit.

In his book, The Wisdom on Insecurity, Alan Watts wrote: The question, "What shall we do about it?" is only asked by those who do not understand the problem. If a problem can be solved at all, to understand it and to know what to do about it are the same thing.

Do you understand your bad habit? Do you feel that you understand it enough to let it go? Did Watts mean that when we are unable to break a problematic habit, that we in fact don't truly understand it?
