The Power of Positive

Posted on May 19, 2014 by Simple Changes

We all have the power to create positive experiences in our lives.

In each moment, we can make a choice. We can walk away from negative situations and surround ourselves with people who are uplifting. If that isn’t possible, we can send our love and blessings to difficult situations, infusing a positive light into it.

Everything we think, say or do has a ripple effect in our lives and those around us.

We can learn much from a conscious communication practice rooted in Buddhist tradition. Before you speak, ask yourself these questions:

  1. Is what I’m about to say kind?
  2. Is it true?
  3. Is it necessary?
  4. Does it improve upon the silence?

If you can answer yes to all four questions, then your words will resonate with love.

Mother’s Love

Posted on May 11, 2014 by Simple Changes

As a mom, I watched my young son go through all the trials and tribulations of a child’s life. I looked for ways to encourage him, boost his self esteem and give hope when life seemed difficult.

I found a well timed message of love helped get him through even the toughest times. A word of encouragement provided hope and a sense that even though life was something hard, it was still good.

On days when he was misbehaving, refusing to do a chore or his homework, a positive, gentle reminder of how much I loved his efforts worked much better than scolding or punishing. In fact, it often produced miracles, encouraging him to do even better.

The love I received in return was immense. I saw my son flourish and grow into a wonderful young man who was respectful, kind and loving.

My Child: 100 Things I Love About YouToday I announce the launch of my ebook “My Child: 100 Things I Love About You” available online at Smashwords and Amazon Kindle.

My wish is that you will use this book’s positive messages to encourage and inspire your own child and provide inspiration for even more loving thoughts. I would be delighted if you shared this with other moms.

With loving thoughts,
Sue
