Hello there...
How are you doing this day?
I am hoping and praying for you!
Hoping and praying you are alright, you are happy, and you are having fun!
I just wanted to say Happy Fourth of July to you, and I pray you have a most beautiful holiday!
It has been over a week since I have written here, and I have excuses...
But that doesn't really matter.
What matters is that it is summer, here in the United States, and stress is very low this time of year because people are spending time with family and friends, and enjoying themselves.
That's what life is all about!
Life is about enjoying family and friends!
If you are not having a good time in life, I just want to say, I understand. I've been there.
The most important things you can do, if you are having a hard time are...
Connecting to God
Learn to relax through Meditation
Increase Habits of Faith
One reason I blog is because I know in reading about destressing yourself there is relief. With that said, I shared a few posts above that may help if you are not enjoying life, and to let you know I am still here.
God bless you!
God loves you!
I love you! [insert heart hands and me smiling at you here]
Hang in there! And never give in or give up!
There is relief and respite from anything you are going through... I know that this is so, and I know it with all of my heart and soul.
Speak soon my friend.

Leveling Up On Faith
Hoodie Hoo Boogaboo!
Leveling up on faith is what I'd like to discuss this day.
How are you doing? Did you read my last post, Increasing Habits of Faith?
Hopefully you did because I issued a thirty day challenge on increasing habits of faith.
If you didn't read it, and you'd really like to work on overcoming feelings of insecurity, I'd check it out and take the challenge.
If you did read it, and you aren't doing the work, maybe because you don't think it will work, I want to assist in a little persuasion.
Please allow me to provoke some thoughts.
I'm about to say something that some people with anger, anxiety, depression, or despair won't like to hear, quite possibly because they disagree.
Please forgive me in advance.
Please have an open mind.
Please know that I have been an agent in God's hands for healing and helping people for many, many, many years, and I come from a place of love. You know this is true especially if you've been reading this blog for a while, read one of my books, or we've talked in person.
So I begin...
First, and foremost, anger, anxiety, and depression are based on a conditioned and practiced fear, into insecurity. Therefore, these emotions have great momentum if we have practiced anyone of them everyday, and for many years.
We humans, much like animals, are conditioned with habits. The difference between the animals and humans is, we have the intellect to choose our actions, feelings, and thoughts over our training.
Due to the fact that we aren't necessarily taught to choose our habitual behavior, much of it is done by default.
Second, the practice of doubt, fear, and worry, for many years, which creates anger, anxiety, depression, and despair, is done in a similar way as the practice I presented in the last post. It's a conditioning exercise.
Doubt, fear, and worry are all about what a person does not want.
Chronic stress is caused by many years of focusing on these unwanted things. This long term focus creates habitual feelings of insecurity.
The thirty day challenge presented is a way to evolve that focus on fear by default into focus on possibilities by desire, by using creativity, and the intellect.
We are not here to be afraid of the future, become more bitter, and lose our creativity of our mind by patterns and practices done by default.
We are here to focus on our desires so that we may discover our dreams and have passion and purpose in our life.
Living a happy, lovely life is all about the focus, and we can use the blessing of our mind to create patterns and practices of faithful, and hopeful thoughts, which will govern our performance here on earth.
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." ~1 Timothy 6, The New Testament, The Holy Bible, KJV
One of my favorite scriptures!
Our power, love and a sound mind are gifts from God, and I issued a challenge, in my last writing, that will point a person in the direction of using these gifts.
Bam! Shockuh Lockuh!
Hoodie Hoo Booga Boo!
I know, I'm silly...
But! I love you...
Have a great day, and please consider the challenge, won't you?
Speak soon...

Increasing Habits of Faith
Hello there!
Increasing habits of faith is what I'd like to write about this day!
How are you doing my dear friend? My dear brother/sister of this world!
I am praying that you are enjoying life!
Summer is coming, and that is a great thing! Summer is a great thing because stress is low. People are going on vacation, having a good time and enjoying life.
Have you ever heard someone say that they want to live the kind of life they don't need a vacation from?
Do you think that is possible?
Do you think that it is possible to enjoy life so much that it feels like a vacation?
It may sound crazy to you but it is entirely possible. I know it's possible because that is exactly how I feel about my life. There is no thing extraordinary about my life except for the fact that I suffered so much emotionally, and I have found respite from the internal struggle through God, and reconditioning my beliefs, focus, and thoughts about life.
Do you live the kind of life you need a vacation from?
What if you could live a life you don't need a vacation from?
What if you could live a life of near complete happiness?
What if you could live happier by increasing your confidence and faith in life, others, and yourself?
What if you could increase your confidence and faith by evolving your habits?
Would you like to evolve your habits so you have more confidence and faith in life, others, and yourself?
What I am talking about here is the kind of confidence and faith that is the opposite of insecurity.
Are you feeling insecure about life, others, and yourself much of the time?
Did you know stress is insecurity? The stress response is provoked by fear. Have you heard of the fight or flight response? That response is the stress response. That response was given to us by God to help us in fearful situations and, as humans, we unknowingly activate that response by our thoughts of fear, which creates chronic insecurity.
Blah, blah, blah, right?
What I am trying to do is lead you into a challenge I have for you to increase a habit, or habits, of confidence.
Do you wanna do the challenge that will increase feelings of happiness, and decrease feelings of insecurity?
The challenge I have for you is like homework, it's like homework for life, and so it's life work... get it? Ha ha ha...
Before I issue you the challenge, you gots to get a notebook of some sort, like a journal. It doesn't need to be fancy, it just needs to have blank pieces of paper so that you may do some life work.
So here's the challenge...
It's a thirty day challenge, so you gotta do it for thirty days! Capeesh?
For thirty days, everyday, at the same time of the day, write down what you want by answering the question, "What do I want most?"
Do you want more confidence?
Do you want energy?
Do you want to govern your behaviors and beliefs more?
Do you want happiness?
Do you want health?
Do you want love?
Do you want wealth?
Whatever it is, write down what you want, everyday, and then read it! After you read it, if you find that you wrote down what you don't want, scribble it out. The reason you will scribble out the things you don't want is because writing what is not wanted defeats the exercise.
This entire challenge is to change, and evolve the habit of focusing on what you don't want, which creates fear, to focusing on what you do want, which creates less insecurity.
Happiness, or unhappiness, is all about the focus, the habitual focus.
This is a spiritual experiment, and I really believe, with all my heart and soul that if you make a commitment to do this, for you, things will change for the better.
This challenge is to help create a habit of confidence, by replacing the habit of insecurity via focus.
The Challenge
Step one: get a notebook
Step two: everyday, and at the same time of day, for example at 8:00 a.m., go to a quiet, uninterrupted place, and ask yourself, "What do I want most?" Take a few moments to really think about it.
Step three: write the answer to the question after you have taken time to really think on it, which will most likely evolve everyday, and that is okay.
Step four: read it, and scribble out anything written that is not wanted. Then contemplate what it will/would feel like to have what you really want.
Step five: through out the day contemplate what is written by thinking about what it would feel like having whatever it is. Notice any thoughts of discouragement and remind yourself discouragement is not the focus, therefore, not a part of this exercise.
Step six: document any positive aspects of this exercise NOT negative ones. Remember! Confidence, and happiness are all about the focus, and this exercise is to evolve the habitual mind away from insecurity and towards faith.
Step seven: KEEP IT SECRET! KEEP IT SAFE! this is only a suggestion... I would keep this exercise to yourself because outside influences may discourage you, and if you are discouraged, you may not complete the exercise.
Do this for exactly thirty days!
That's it!
Oh! except...
If you are really stressed out, it may be helpful for you to make a commitment to do this for you! For destressing! For your happiness! For your family and relationships! You are the only one who has the authority over the way you feel. Although the human conditioning would have us believe that other people are responsible for our happiness, it is not true. No one can focus for you, only you can do that! This exercise can, and will help you increase your habits of faith in you.
And...
Stay tune for more on this challenge...
This is gonna get good!
This is gonna be fun!
You got this!
You can do this!
It may be time for you to take responsibility for your happiness, which lies in destressing your stressful habits.
Speak soon...
