Misconception #2 on meditation

Another misconception about meditation that came up in my recent teleconference was about a concern about meditation slowing a person down. One participant expressed a concern that their job requires them to be energetic and move quickly. He expressed the concern that meditation would lead to losing his "edge".

Here is what I know to be true about meditation. It helps you hone your edge. Meditation leads to being more centered and increases your capacity to be focused. Therefore, meditation will help you be more focused in a fast paced setting that requires you to focus on multiple tasks throughout the day.

One example would be working at the board of trade. Now that is a fast paced, high energy environment. I have worked with individuals who work in such environments that have reported learning to meditate helps them stay focused on what is most important in any given moment.

Think about it. We all have millions, probably billions of bits of information in our sensory field at any given moment. We can't focus on all of them. We need the ability to effective filter out the non-essential information. On the flip side, we need to be able to stay focused on the absolutely most essential. A meditation practice can help you develop that kind of edge. That kind of focus.

Mindfully,

Misunderstandings about meditation

I recently conducted a teleconference on the value of meditation in creating more personal peace in your life. It was a lively conference and many questions were asked about meditation that I will spend the next week or so responding to.

One of the question that was asked in a number of different ways was "how long should I mediate for?". The other variations of this question included, "how do I find the time?" or the statement, "I don't have enough time to meditate".

These questions seemed to be based on the notion that you need to meditate for a long to experience benefits. Let me say loud and clear that you do NOT need time to set aside large period of time to meditate. You may not even need to set aside any time. You can look for those moments of natural down that come up throughout your day. You can meditate for 1 minute or 5 minutes in your car or while taking a walk on a brief work break.

Keep in mind that mediation is not a specialized activity that requires a special room or special equipment.

One of my favorite times to meditate is when I am at a stop light. I simply put my car in park, close my eyes and focus on my breath cycle. It is a very rapid way for me to slow down and fully orient myself to the present moment. This one minute mediation technique has also renew my faith in humanity. Every time I use it there is a kind soul who will give me a gentle reminder when the light turns green. It is so reassuring to know that others in the community are so committed to helping me on my path to create more personal peace in my life.

Mindfully,

Transcend Fear...

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest
fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light,
not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented
and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a
child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to
make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just
in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light
shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do
the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others.”-Marrianne Williamson

In An Invitation to Personal Peace, We devote an entire chapter on how to work through fear instead of letting fear work on you.

Let me ask you a question: What dream has fear taken away from your life? How does that make you feel?

Some years ago, I noticed a certain fear confronting me whenever I started to write a book. The Inner voice would go something like this "You're getting to big for your britches!"

Can you guess what happened next?
Okay, I'll tell you.
Frustration with myself for giving in to a voice that kept me small in the world.

Frustration and Inner Peace aren't a great match.

This all changed when I changed my reaction to my fear.

Instead of giving into the fear I used thought and action to confront it.

I started saying " We'll I'm up to something big."(thought)

I then proceeded to write (action).

This led to me to Personal Peace.

If I listened to the voice that limited my spirit, An Invitation to Personal Peace may not have been born.

Use the 5 simple exercises today in An Invitation to Personal Peace to walk through fear with boldness and courage.

Your desires are waiting for you. Don't disappoint them.

Believe in yourself today.

Make your Destiny a masterpiece.

The cure for negativity

While reading Think and Grow Rich today, I was moved by the following passage. It reminded me how easy it is to be influenced by the company we keep into the trap of negativity.


If you have a burning desire to achieve a vision that benefits others and brings joy to you, it is your divine right to go for it. Let the Nay Sayers be left in the dust of conformity. Often times the burning desire given to you is a treasure to be nurtured and acted upon despite the blindness of others. Believe that you can conceive the idea with divine guidance and give birth to brilliance.


Men with negative minds tried to convince Thomas A. Edison that he could not build a machine that would record and reproduce the human voice, "because" they said, "no one else had ever produced such a machine." Edison did not believe them. He knew that the mind could produce ANYTHING THE MIND COULD CONCEIVE AND BELIEVE, and that knowledge was the thing that lifted the great Edison above the common herd.

Men with negative minds told F. W. Woolworth, he would go "broke" trying to run a store on five and ten cent sales. He did not believe them. He knew that he could do anything, within reason, if he backed his plans with faith. Exercising his right to keep other men's negative suggestions out of his

mind, he piled up a fortune of more than a hundred million dollars.

Men with negative minds told George Washington he could not hope to win against the vastly superior forces of the British, but he exercised his Divine right to BELIEVE, therefore this book was published under the protection of the Stars and Stripes, while the name of Lord Cornwallis has been all but forgotten.

Doubting Thomases scoffed scornfully when Henry Ford tried out his first crudely built automobile on the streets of Detroit. Some said the thing never would become practical. Others said no one would pay money for such a contraption. FORD SAID, "I'LL BELT THE EARTH WITH DEPENDABLE MOTOR CARS," AND HE DID! His decision to trust his own judgment has already piled up a fortune far greater than the next five generations of his descendants can squander. For the benefit of those seeking vast riches, let it be remembered that practically the sole difference between Henry Ford and a majority of the more than one hundred thousand men who work for him, is this--FORD HAS A MIND AND CONTROLS IT, THE OTHERS HAVE MINDS WHICH THEY DO NOT TRY TO CONTROL.

Henry Ford has been repeatedly mentioned, because he is an astounding example of what a man with a mind of his own, and a will to control it, can accomplish. His record knocks the foundation from under that time-worn alibi, "I never had a chance." Ford never had a chance, either, but he CREATED AN OPPORTUNITY AND BACKED IT WITH PERSISTENCE UNTIL IT MADE HIM RICHER THAN CROESUS- (From Think and Grow Rich)

(Croesus is the guy below with the crown)- Must have been one rich dude!



If you've fallen victim to the influence of negativity, take heart.

Here's the Cure:

That's right. There's about 5 chapters dedicated to Removing Blocks to Personal Peace. This will be your Kryptonite to Any Forces that try to squelch your fire.

Dedicated to giving you back control of your destiny,

Your Destiny Doctor,

Inside the mind of Britney Spears



"Accurate self-examination is an important part of one’s personal
growth. It is so easy to fall into self-deception. If you are not honest with yourself
about certain matters, then doubts and fears will haunt you.
You cannot develop a healthy sense of self when you
have a self-serving and false appraisal of yourself."
Transcending Self-Delusions, Chapter 10 An Invitation to Personal Peace



What is Self-Delusion?
Great Question!

According to SELF-DECEPTION, SELF-DELUSION and SELF-DENIAL: And How to Act from What You Know to be True,When we deceive, delude or deny to our self, we mislead our self, we misrepresent or disown what we know to be true, we lie to our self, we refuse to acknowledge that which we know.


Why would we lie to ourselves?
In a book called Vital Lies, Simple Truths, Daniel Goleman notes that we do not see what it is that we do not see, because:

The mind can protect itself against anxiety by diminishing awareness. This mechanism produces a blind spot: a zone of blocked attention and self-deception. Such blind spots occur at each major level of behavior from the psychological to the social. (p. 22)

Well, I'm glad that cleared everything up!

Basically, it's a protective behavior that keeps the person from experiencing or facing the consequences of reality. Eventually the truth wins. Sometimes in a very public way! For Example:


Then:Britney Says in May 2007
"I used to be angry at the tabloids for printing horrible things about me, but now I try to just be numb to what I see."

Now: Britney Says June 20,2007
"Spears Angered By Shaved Head Ads
Britney Spears
has admitted to having some problems, but she's drawing the line at a "nut job."

I guess being numb didn't work.

Again from Britney:

"It is so sad, because if anyone is a family person...it is me."


"I feel like some of the people in my life made more of some issues than was necessary."








"I also feel like they knew I was beginning to use my brain for a change and cut some ties, so they wanted to be in more control of my life than me."

Britney, I'll even sign the book for you!

Now why didn't I think of that before. That'll convince her!

Bottom Line: Self Delusions can't hide from reality forever. As you can see they surface sooner or later.

Why not Grab a copy of an Invitation to Personal Peace to avoid this happening to you? Make sure you do the daily practice on day 4 in Chapter 10 that could instantly give you guidance and comfort on your journey to inner peace.

What are you waiting for? The only time you have promised to you is the present. Let this be a gift to you of powerful transformation and bliss.

Study Reveals New Untapped Career Goldmind!


Move Over Miss Cleo....
There's a New Kid in Town!


Intuitive mind-Reading Babies

Okay, so you might have to do a little bit of experimenting before quitting your day job.
But believe it or not ...

Luca Surian, a psychologist at the University of Trento in Italy, and his colleagues believe they have made some progress in the debate (of intuitive children). In a study published in a recent issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, Surian found that 13-month-old infants were able to exhibit the ability to attribute mental content (mind reading).


Oh, before you get too excited and get little johnny every toy he's every imagined, let's look at
how the psychologists conducted the study and how they reached their results.

Surian's group designed an experiment using animated caterpillars - caterpillars were given a piece of food behind a screen, either some cheese or an apple to munch into - with or without a human hand to cue a specific food type. The team discovered when a human hand was present, and the little animated caterpillar went to the opposite food source, the babies 'looking time' increased significantly - almost 3 fold.


Wait a minute.

Three fold.

There's got to be a mistake here.

Not two but three fold!

So there you have it.

Destiny Doctor Prescription: If this dashed your hope for inner peace from the day job that's robbing your peace.

No need to despair.

There are still copies of An Invitation to Personal Peace still available.

Get yours today!

Got Character? It Does a Body Good!

....... Pass it on!


There is one thing that people of great historical significance have in common:

Commitment to Cultivating their Character.

Character is the quality that speaks behind your words.

Personality can attract you, but only character inspires greatness.

Are you living the character you profess to want?

Or is it rhetoric that sounds good to the ear, but slips away when the spotlight is out
and the crowds are gone.

Here's Your Destiny Doctor Prescription:

Create an atmosphere of Inner Peace

Think of the qualities you admire in other people and know that
the qualities you admire in others are the hidden aspects of you that
are waiting to come out.

Everyday start to cultivate that quality in your own unique way.

Take a page out of Benjamin Franklin's book and make a plan. Let his list of
virtues be inspiration for you.

Benjamin Franklin "Character in Action"

Virtues


Franklin sought to cultivate his character by a plan of thirteen virtues, which he developed at age 20 (in 1726) and continued to practice in some form for the rest of his life. His autobiography lists his thirteen virtues as:

  1. "TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation."
  2. "SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation."
  3. "ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time."
  4. "RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve."
  5. "FRUGALITY. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing."
  6. "INDUSTRY. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions."
  7. "SINCERITY. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly."
  8. "JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty."
  9. "MODERATION. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve."
  10. "CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or habitation."
  11. "TRANQUILLITY. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable."
  12. "CHASTITY. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation."
  13. "HUMILITY. Imitate Jesus and Socrates."

Revealed: Jon Stewart knows "The secret "

What's this secret Mike?

How to craft a magnetic personality that draws mega success.

Guess what? You can do this too, starting today.

There's a fun practice exercise toward the end of this post that you won't want to miss!


Don’t you enjoy being around someone with a genuine laugh
and fun sense of humor?

To really develop a magnetic personality, start working on a
cheerful attitude...Whenever you lose your
ability to laugh, your physical and emotional health start to
decline rapidly. Never miss a chance to laugh aloud.

A smile and a good chuckle will encourage—but out and out laughter is the real thing that will draw others to you.

This excerpt is from an Invitation to Personal Peace--


The exercises in this chapter will empower you to develop an irresistible personality.


Turn to page 141 in an Invitation to Personal Peace and get a head start on the exercise for day 7.

Here's your activity as promised:

In the last 24 hours, this video clip from the Jon Stewart show has gained popularity from it's humor and lightheartedness. Enjoy the clip. Have a hearty laugh. See how much better you feel and look for other ways to incorporate humor in your every life.

Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice said the Iraqis have made "not inconsequential movement forward" in a clip played on the show. "Wait, not inconsequential," Stewart mused, "so that's like not un-bad. Tell me not less."

The following video is from Comedy Central's The Daily Show, broadcast on July 16.

Paris Hilton starts Missionary work with Britney

Ever Since Paris Hilton's Conversation's with God,
she vowed to make this world a better place.

Looks like she started close to Home looking at this Headline:

Britney 'Praying' for Her 'Brokenhearted' Mom

"I'm praying for her right now," Britney saccharinely told a crush of shutterbugs on Sunday outside a Los Angeles sushi joint, before adding a pot-and-kettle-tinged potshot, "I hope she gets all the help she needs."

Chapter 41 in An Invitation to Personal Peace Says

Once you know the formula for spiritual fulfillment and
success, it is time to consider different avenues in which that
formula should be put in to action. The main one you will
find in every area of your life is relationships. Quality relationships
are key to cultivating personal peace.

Throwing a letter at your mom, while yelling "stay away from your grandkids!"

is not exactly the way to invite personal peace in your life.

Britney didn't quite make it to chapter 41 yet, but when she does, she'll find some
powerful daily exercises that will help her heal and embrace the most important
relationships in her life, including herself.

Have you read Chapter 41 yet?


If not, I'll make it easy for you:

Power of Prayer to Invite Personal Peace

Rev. MC Hammer was right after all:

"We've Got to Pray Just to Make it Today!"

According to USA today,This comes as no surprise to preachers and doctors who say they have seen the way personal faith can influence a patient's reaction to all kinds of pain, psychological or physical.

"Prayer enables you to take your mind and place it in a new perspective," says family doctor Harold Betton, who also is pastor of New Light Baptist Church in Little Rock. By focusing on prayer, he says, believers reduce stress and gain control over pain.


How about you?

Prayer is a powerful source of personal peace. When you focus on a higher power outside of yourself away from all the distractions,worries, and problems personal peace that "passeth all understanding" enters in.

I can't explain how it happens. All I know is that it works. Try it for yourself and expect miracles where impossibilities exist. What do you have to lose?

Calling all Chocolate Lovers!

Do you remember hearing

"Don't eat sweets before you eat your dinner, you'll spoil your appetite"
(Who came up with that phrase anyway)

Well this is the day you've been waiting for!



According to MSN News, Chocolate lovers can rejoice again: More research has found that the antioxidants in dark chocolate can help slightly lower blood pressure.

This is my kind of Study!

The research was led by Dr. Dirk Taubert, of University Hospital of Cologne, who has done previous research on the effects of cocoa on high blood pressure.

The authors suspect that dark chocolate may increase levels of nitric oxide, a compound that helps to relax and open the blood vessels.

An American nutrition expert found the results promising.


Now Before you rip open that bag of Hersey Kisses turn to page 110 in

An Invitation to Personal Peace the chapter is called Practice Mindfulness as You Eat Chocolate.

This chapter uncovers the secret way to double the benefits of eating chocolate. Make sure to follow the instructions to get the full benefit of the process.

What's that?
You don't have the book.
Let's take care of that right now!

Organic Cigarettes for the "Health-Conscious"?

Yes, You've read the title correctly! As a matter of fact, this is the title from the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

Next time you're stocking up at y
our local health food store buying lavender oil for aromatherapy or meditation, don't be surprised if you see "Natural American Spirit"-Organic Cigarettes.

Sounds logical right?

I mean over the past few we
eks we've seen Paris Hilton transform to missionary.
And Million dollar court cases for a pair of missing pants.

Why not-- Organic Cigarettes to give you inner peace of knowing you're smoking the "healthy way?"

As Best Selling author Seth Godlin, said so eloquently in his blog on this same topic

Not just organic, but "all natural" and not tested on animals and certified "cruelty free" by PETA. There's a percentage of smokers who are able to get by the internal inconsistency of the term "organic cigarettes" and love the story. But for smokers with the world view that they want to be careful what they smoke, that they want a gourmet product, ....


Here is your Destiny Doctor question for today:

1.Has switching to organic cigarettes really given you inner peace?
If Yes, proceed to question number 2

2.What would you say if I offered you an extra $100 to put in your pocket every month?
If that sounds good to you, claim your cash below.

An Invitation to Personal Peace is habit forming and
proven to increase happiness, unshakable self confidence, and life long success. Because of it's addictive nature, you may not be able to put it

"healthy cigarettes".

Paris Hilton: Reloaded on Larry King Live


"What ever your unique talents are,
you will experience a greater sense of personal peace when
you cultivate them and use them in the service of the greater
good.
I want to pose a challenge. That challenge is to look at it as
your ethical imperative to develop your unique abilities and
to see it as your obligation to the world and your creator.
Remember a talent is not a talent unless you discover it and
make use of it in a positive way to contribute to the world."

"From An Invitation to Personal Peace"

What are your Unique Talents? Are you sharing them with the world
or are you hoarding them for yourself? Talents were meant to be shared.
It's not too late to discover what you can contribute to the world.

For example, let's take the New Paris "Peace on Earth" Hilton.
While on the Larry King Show this past week she revealed how
she discovered her unique talents to cultivate to the world.






Hilton: That's something I was actually thinking a lot about in jail. I feel like, you know, being in the spotlight, I have a platform where I can raise awareness for so many great causes, and just do so much with this, instead of, you know, superficial things like going out. I want to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer, multiple sclerosis and...

KING: You want to get involved in all of it.

HILTON: Yes.

KING: What's your favorite Bible passage?

HILTON: I don't have a favorite, but...

KING: You read it every day?

HILTON: In jail, I read a lot.

KING: Going to go to mass?

HILTON: Yes.

KING: All right. We're going to see a new Paris Hilton.

HILTON: Yes.

KING: What will we see? Will we see less Paris Hilton? More Paris Hilton in a different way? Give us what the public will see of the new Paris Hilton, starting June 28, 2007?

HILTON: I've definitely matured and grown a lot from this experience, so I just -- I don't know, I just want to be -- I'm 26 years old. I'm an adult, and I am -- I have to just grow up and to be a more responsible -- a role model.

KING: We'll know it.

HILTON: I want to be a good role model for these girls.


If Paris can do it, so can you!

Buy an Invitation to Personal Peace today and learn a specific technique on how to
discover your unique talents.

What are you waiting for? The power of change resides in the present moment.

Kelly Clarkson American Idol's First Lady speaks her truth


"It's not about making people upset," Kelly Clarkson said

during a June 18 taping of

"Nissan Live Sets on Yahoo! Music."

"It's about not settling."


Now This is a woman who refuses to Show up small!

How about you? Are you showing up too small in life?

Here's an example of what showing up small looks like.

As you read this small excerpt from my book An Invitation to Personal Peace,
ask y0urself if this could be you.

"Many people show up way too small in life. They stay small
and settle due to fear. It may be fear of failure, fear of success,
or fear of being discovered for the incompetence they
feel. Much of the fear of taking risks has long and deep roots.
For many, it comes from growing up in a family that sends
subtle messages that “you are either with us or against us.

In this kind of family, it may have been necessary to downplay,
disown, devalue or disconnect from important parts of
your being. It reminds me of the old saying that “ships are
safest in port, but that is not what ships were built for”.
Similarly, you were not built to stay small and only express a
fraction of who you are."

From Chapter 9 in
An Invitation to Personal Peace

Breaking Free from Fear

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest
fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light,
not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented
and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a
child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to
make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just
in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light
shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do
the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others.”-Marrianne Williamson

In An Invitation to Personal Peace, We devote an entire chapter on how to work through fear instead of letting fear work on you.

Let me ask you a question: What dream has fear taken away from your life? How does that make you feel?

Some years ago, I noticed a certain fear confronting me whenever I started to write a book. The Inner voice would go something like this "You're getting to big for your britches!"

Can you guess what happened next?
Okay, I'll tell you.
Frustration with myself for giving in to a voice that kept me small in the world.

Frustration and Inner Peace aren't a great match.

This all changed when I changed my reaction to my fear.

Instead of giving into the fear I used thought and action to confront it.

I started saying " We'll I'm up to something big."(thought)

I then proceeded to write (action).

This led to me to Personal Peace.

If I listened to the voice that limited my spirit, An Invitation to Personal Peace may not have been born.

Use the 5 simple exercises today in An Invitation to Personal Peace to walk through fear with boldness and courage.

Your desires are waiting for you. Don't disappoint them.

Believe in yourself today.

Make your Destiny a masterpiece.

Inside the Mind of Britney Spears:Sticks and Stones



"Accurate self-examination is an important part of one’s personal
growth. It is so easy to fall into self-deception. If you are not honest with yourself
about certain matters, then doubts and fears will haunt you.
You cannot develop a healthy sense of self when you
have a self-serving and false appraisal of yourself."
Transcending Self-Delusions, Chapter 10 An Invitation to Personal Peace



What is Self-Delusion?
Great Question!

According to SELF-DECEPTION, SELF-DELUSION and SELF-DENIAL: And How to Act from What You Know to be True,When we deceive, delude or deny to our self, we mislead our self, we misrepresent or disown what we know to be true, we lie to our self, we refuse to acknowledge that which we know.


Why would we lie to ourselves?
In a book called Vital Lies, Simple Truths, Daniel Goleman notes that we do not see what it is that we do not see, because:

The mind can protect itself against anxiety by diminishing awareness. This mechanism produces a blind spot: a zone of blocked attention and self-deception. Such blind spots occur at each major level of behavior from the psychological to the social. (p. 22)

Well, I'm glad that cleared everything up!

Basically, it's a protective behavior that keeps the person from experiencing or facing the consequences of reality. Eventually the truth wins. Sometimes in a very public way! For Example:


Then:Britney Says in May 2007
"I used to be angry at the tabloids for printing horrible things about me, but now I try to just be numb to what I see."

Now: Britney Says June 20,2007
"Spears Angered By Shaved Head Ads
Britney Spears
has admitted to having some problems, but she's drawing the line at a "nut job."

I guess being numb didn't work.

Again from Britney:

"It is so sad, because if anyone is a family person...it is me."


"I feel like some of the people in my life made more of some issues than was necessary."








"I also feel like they knew I was beginning to use my brain for a change and cut some ties, so they wanted to be in more control of my life than me."

Britney, I'll even sign the book for you!

Now why didn't I think of that before. That'll convince her!

Bottom Line: Self Delusions can't hide from reality forever. As you can see they surface sooner or later.

Why not Grab a copy of an Invitation to Personal Peace to avoid this happening to you? Make sure you do the daily practice on day 4 in Chapter 10 that could instantly give you guidance and comfort on your journey to inner peace.

What are you waiting for? The only time you have promised to you is the present. Let this be a gift to you of powerful transformation and bliss.

Inside the Mind Of Britney Spears "Figuring Things Out"

Watch out Shake sphere... There's a New Kid On the Block!

James Allen "As A Man Thinketh"-That's nothing

Earl Nightingale "The Strangest Secret"- Lightweight stuff

Who is it?


No other but the profound literary herself,

Britney Spears.

Huh?

Let me explain, it gets better.

Last week we talked about "Exercise Your Write" Chapter 3 in my book an Invitation to Personal Peace.

Here is an excerpt from that chapter,

Try “free writing” or writing down whatever comes to mind, without judgment.
Writing is a powerful personal development and spiritual
tool. Writing can help you explore your self, your desires and
intentions, and the reasons why you do the things you do.


A lot of times it helps to have an example of what free writing looks like, and you're in for a real treat today.

Not only do I have an example on free writing but it's from the ever evolving Britney Spears. Watch how she weaves and infuses her thoughts without judgment in this excerpt:

Recently, I was sent to a very humbling place called rehab. I truly hit rock bottom. Till this day I don't think that it was alcohol or depression. I was like a bad kid running around with ADD. I had a manager from a long time ago come in and try to direct me and my life after I got my divorce. I was so overwhelmed I think that I was in a little shock too. I didn't know who to go to. I realized how much energy and love I had put into my past relationship when it was gone because I genuinely did not know what to do with myself, and it made me so sad. I confess, I was so lost.


This letter is a total of 845 words in its entirety. Join me on Wednesday as we address Part 2 of Britney Spears' letter of "This is the Truth" and her Invitation to Personal Peace as we address the Chapter on Transcending Self-delusions.

If Britney were to go back and look at what she wrote, she might find a few things that don't seem to fit. For instance, going to Rehab but not for alcohol or depression seems a little strange.
I could go on but there aren't enough hours in the day.

Now it's your turn.
After you free write in your journal, look back and see if you are really being truthful with yourself. Self-discovery opens the door to a path of empowerment and magnetic energy to live the life you truly desire and deserve.

Grab the book and start reading ahead of time so you can fully enjoy Wednesday's post.

Inviting you to the Destiny you Desire,
Your Destiny Doctor,
