I choose Hawk as the picture for this blog because hawk represents strength. Which leads me to the topic of this blog. Over the last 3 months I have had a few experiences that have knocked me for a loop and at times I was starting to think that I did not have the strength to get through them all enough to be back. Yet I did and here I am. Let me tell you what has happened…..

Its all started at the end of August when our oldest most dearest pet Storm became ill and it seemed like we may have to put him down. That was the beginning of a very long downhill spiral for me. The next thing came when we were in the US visiting friends and my husband was in a bad auto accident ( he is ok now) that was something that set off anxieties from a previous accident we had that took me several years to mentally and physically recover from. The next thing was our move, we had decided to give up the rental home in the country and move in with my mother and her male friend for awhile, till we could save the money to move back to the US which is where my husband is from , plus all our friends and granddaughter live. This was the top of the  stress for me. I started having anxiety attacks out of the blue and no doctor could figure out why, but it was an accumulation of everything piling up on me that set it off. I allowed it to take over and became very ill, I stopped eating, I stopped working here on the website, everything in my life ceased, even my radio show stopped. I had hit my lowest. Then after months of this, I saw him, Hawk ( which I previously blogged about).

He sent me the message of strength and determination, of staying true to ones self and not letting others or situations around me make up how I feel inside and out. It was like a light switch went off in my head. It was the boost I needed to get me back on track. Each night before bed I called upon all my angels to surround and wrap me in their loving comfort a and help heal the emotional  wounds from the last few months. It was a slow process but I felt them envelop me each night and my sleep pattern changed. I slept better then I had in a long time even before all this started. I woke in the morning with a new found appreciation for life and myself. Each day i got stronger and stronger, and decided it was time to come back to the website to begin again. I had and still have that strength to put not only into the site but myself as well. I feel my abilities have never been stronger then they are now As I sit here writing this I know with the help of all my spiritual helpers and my hawk messenger I am getting back to that place inside of myself that can over come anything that is thrown at me. I may stumble once or twice but i shall not let it keep me down for long. it is the knowing that I am strong and I have the courage to face the new day with a smile that keeps me going. Today I look forward to every single day and the one day when we move home dont feel so stressful to me anymore.

This entire blog was to show you that even someone who has my abilities can stumble along the way, we just need to take time to slow down, look at our inner selves and take the strength we all have inside of us and bring that forth. Nothing nor nobody can take that from you ever. It is also important to take the time to heal from our wounds whether they be physical or emotional, dont let them scar us so deeply we cease to function. We all have the strength it takes to over come that. It is just a matter of knowing you do and reaching way down harnessing it and working with it, helping it too grow. So no matter what life throws at you, know, you can over come it with the courage and strength you carry inside. Every day I awake with a smile now, and so can you.

I will never tell you that this will be easy, because it truly isn’t, but I can share how you can start the process on a small scale. When you wake every morning think of one positive aspect or person in your life and focus on that. Bring more and more positive thoughts in as the days go by and you will slowly feel a strengthening inside yourself. Surround yourself with people who will lift you up at your lowest point, find a counselor, or mentor to help during the low times that will remind you just how loving and strong you truly are. Each passing day will bring more and more inner strength to deal with what life can toss at you. One step at a time.

If this blog has helped one person then I am thrilled, and my job complete, for more positive blogs and articles please visit my website at www.readingsbyjody.com……Angels Bless love and bring you comfort always….Jody

In this day and age hearing the words “stay positive” is sometimes tough and seems so hard to do. We are bombarded with the negativeness of the world around us daily on the news , radio and in the newspaper. One wonders, how is it possible to remain so positive all the time. One simple answer it is not!! It is not humanly possible to be upbeat and positive on a day to day basis. There are basic things a person can do to keep positive energy in their life, dont watch the news or listen to it. Surround yourself with positive people, not people who seem to have problem after problem in their life and talk about them all the time. Keep positive thoughts, when negative ones sneak in quickly replace them with positive ones. These are just a few examples.

Living life to the fullest and seeing a problem as a challenge is a wonderful thing as well. Stop looking at it negatively, look at the positive outcome and how you, yourself can change this negative energy into something positive. Example: You want a day off but the boss has no one to replace you, instantly that becomes a negative, how do you then turn it into a positive, take that day to make someone smile, give a helping hand to someone who can truly use it, thats a couple of ways to turn your negative into a positive.

Lets say you wake up in the morning and you instantly feel negative, nothing will go right today it will just be an over all bad day, by saying that and feeling it, you just gave yourself a bad day. What you put to the universe will come back to you, if you put out negative thinking then negative energy you shall receive. Try this instead, you wake with that bad feeling for the day, instantly change it to, I will make one person smile today and make one person feel wanted. Give yourself an Angelic Affirmation is another way to turn a negative into a positive, Example: Say the following, Today I Affirm I find great satisfaction in making contributions to the world that are uniquely my own. Say it and do it and watch the negative energy of the day fade away. By quickly replacing every negative thought and emotion as soon as they hit with a positive one you will find it easier to stay that way. Will you falter, most  definitely, but that’s when you have to work harder and keep your eyes set on the positive things in your life.

See the things around you in a more positive way as well, instead of grumbling about the rain, think of it as making new things grown and rejuvenating and refreshing the energies around you. Instead of grumbling about traffic and being stuck, see it as time to yourself to simply be still, listen to your favorite radio station just a little longer and enjoy your alone time just a little longer. Each negative problem has a positive hidden in it. You need to find what that is and work with it.
