Words I live by to this day.

Who Are The Angels?
Angels are all around us.
Whether you realize it or not, you are surrounded by heavenly beings that are here to help you. Not only do they want to help you, their purpose in your life is to help you in every area.
Life is not an “every man for himself” endeavor. You can certainly live that way if you choose, but not enjoy the spiritual gifts that heaven has for you?
Angels are the heavenly embodiment of God’s energy sent to us from heaven. They love and assist us our entire lives. Before we’re born, we set a life plan for ourselves containing the lessons we are to learn in this life and on a soul level.
Your life plan is precisely what, where and with whom you are meant to be. There’s nothing in life more fulfilling than being on course with your life purpose, or your soul plan.

DID YOU KNOW?
That the angels exist solely to help us? Their only purpose and reason for being is to assist us in our daily lives. That’s why it’s important for you to call on them for help in every area of your life!
Now, there are two types of angels that assist you.
Guardian Angels
The Archangels
Talking With Your Angels – 5 www.soulcomfortofficialsite.com
When we’re born we’re given at least two guardian angels, without exception. These heavenly souls are assigned to be with you your entire life and offer you their loving and divine help, as well as their guidance and support according to what you have set out to do in life.
Indeed, the life experience of your guardian angels has a lot to do with the life lessons you’ve set out for yourself.
As you live your life and grow, you take on more guardian angels, especially in times when you want, need or ask for help in your life.
Most guardian angels stay with you your entire life once they come to be with you
Our angels play a very important role in our lives.
Because they’re assigned to us at birth, they stay by our side, loving and guiding us, until we return home. There are many different types of angels, each with their own unique role to play in our lives.
Everyone loves angels and for good reason. They signify love, courage, strength and guidance. It’s no wonder that people get angel tattoos, adorn their homes with Christmas angels during the holidays and make snow angels in winter. Some people think that angels only exist in heaven and don’t interact with us at all.
Well, I’m here to tell you that they sure do!
First of all, did you know an angel’s wings aren’t use to fly, but rather to denote which phylum, or level, they’re from? Each phylum has a different color wing tip and each has a very important role to play.
Let’s take a look at the different types of angels.
The Phylums of Angels
There are ten different phylums (heirarchy) of angels, all with their own personality and area of specialty. You can call upon them at any time, depending on your needs. They all exist to help you while you’re here.
1.
Guardian Angels
The Guardians are the first phylum. They radiate with love and glory and appear with a beautiful white light surrounding them. The color of their wing tips is silver. The guardians are our protectors and are here to keep us safe. They assist us with our fears and phobias.
2.
The Archangels
The Archangels are the second phylum. The four main archangels are:
1. Archangel Michael (Archangel of the South, Essence: Fire) 2. Archangel Raphael (Archangel of the East, Essence: Air) 3. Archangel Uriel (Archangel of the North: Essence: Earth) 4. Archangel Gabriel (Archangel of the West: Essence: Water)
Archangels have white wings with blue tips. Their primary purpose is healing and they’re also messengers of hope.
The Archangels use a scepter to heal by touching us with it in the area of our body that needs healing.
Their totem is the wolf and their element is rain. Their stone is aquamarine.
The Archangels exist to help us with our journeys here on earth. Did you really think you were in this alone?
These powerful angels oversee the Guardian Angels and when you need a powerhouse to help you out with a difficult area in your life, call on them right away! These heavenly beings are there for you.
Let’s look at them a little more in-depth.
Talking With Your Angels – 7
Archangel Michael – His name means: “He who is like God.”
He’s the Archangel of the south and his essence is fire.
Michael is the warrior, defender and protector of heaven and earth. Call upon Michael whenever you want protection. He also removes negativity and fear from your life. I work with Michael very often and he gets the job done!
Archangel Gabriel – Her name means “God is my strength.”
She’s the Archangel of the west and her essence is water.
She has a feminine energy and is associated with conception and birth, and is the Archangel of new beginnings. If you’re planning on starting a family, buying a new home or looking for a different job, call on Gabriel.
Archangel Raphael – His name means “He Who Heals.”
He’s the Archangel of the east and his essence is wind.
Raphael is the Archangel of healing and his healing energies are powerful indeed! His color is emerald green which is the color of healing. Call on Raphael to heal yourself or someone you love.
Archangel Uriel – His name means “Fire of God.”
He’s the Archangel of the north and his essence is earth.
Call on Uriel for insight into your life’s purpose and direction and to send you clear messages and ideas. He lovingly answers our prayers and thoughts.
There’s a lot of information on the internet about the Archangels and I strongly suggest you invite them into your life because once you do, doors to endless possibilities will open for you.

3&4.
The Cherubim and Seraphim
The third and fourth level of angels are the Cherubim and Seraphim. They’re known for their beautiful singing abilities. The difference between the two is that the Cherubim have beautiful singing voice and the Seraphim possess a vibrational/tonal ability.
Together their music is indescribable and beyond words.
They are truly the most joyous phylum of angels. They have white wings with rose colored tips.
Their totem is the canary.
5. The Powers
The fifth phylum of angels are The Powers. Their primary purpose is healing. While the Archangels use a scepter to heal, the Powers use their wings by sheltering you within them.
The Powers use their energy to heal. The electrical force that comes from them enters your body and heals you cell by cell. They’re quite large in size.
Their totem is the falcon, known for swiftness and perseverance. Their element is the moon. Their stone is the emerald, which possesses the healing color of green.
Their wings are white with greenish white tips.
6. The Carrions
The sixth phylum of angels are The Carrions. Their primary purpose is to escort away dark entities when they die. Their sole mission is to stand back until a dark entity passes into death.
The Carrions protect our world and The Other Side from darkness. They are the reason dead dark entities don’t exist on earth.
Their totem is the raven and their element is the wind. Their stone is the opal.
7. The Virtues
The seventh phylum of angels are The Virtues.
Talking With Your Angels – 9
The Virtues assist us with our life charts. They help us to make changes to our charts whenever needed. They also help us with our life and charts on The Other Side before we come here to Earth to live another life. They’re an incredible phylum of angels that help to guide us before we begin our journeys here on earth.
Their totem is the dove, the symbol of peace. Their stone is silver and their element is water.
They have white wings with pale blue tips and a silvery blue luminescence.
8. The Dominions
The eighth phylum of angels are The Dominions. They watch over us and permanently record our actions and good deeds in the Akashic Records. They typically don’t assist us on the earth plane but do their work for us on The Other Side.
When we need assistance, our spirit guides will sometimes go to The Dominions instead of The Council because of The Dominions’ thorough knowledge of our charts
Their totem is the cougar, which represents strength and dignity. Their element is earth, which signifies grounding and the lives they record. Their stone is the bloodstone.
They have white wings with maroon tips.
9&10
.
The Thrones and Principalities
The ninth and tenth phylum are The Thrones and Principalities and are considered the highest phylum of angels. They represent Mother and Father God’s armies.
The Thrones and Principalities come to us when we’re in any type of danger. The Thrones are Mother God’s army and The Principalities are Father God’s army.
You can call upon these phylums of angels to protect you or your loved ones when in a difficult or troublesome situation.
The Thrones are more active than The Principalities, who act more as guardians-at-the-gate. The Principalities are in charge of cities and nations and are the protectors of spirituality and religion. They have incredible power and grace and are the highest phylum of all angels.
Each phylum of angels are here to assist. Call upon them at any time.
They’re a gift from our Creator and are here to help you.

A Centering Meditation
As humans, we spend so much time in our minds, thinking about one thing after another. We rarely, if ever, take time to turn off all the unimportant thoughts in order to focus inward, where inner peace resides.
If the thought of meditation scares you, it’s really a lot easier than you think. It was difficult for me when I first started meditating because I couldn’t keep my mind still. It’s a problem for anyone who has never meditated.
A friend told me about
The Healing Waterfall
, which is a beautiful guided journey and that’s how I learned to meditate. I recommend it to all of my students too. It’s such an incredible way to start meditating.
This centering meditation will bring your consciousness into your heart, to the center of your body, which is where your angel meets you. Find a comfortable quiet spot where you won’t be disturbed. If you record this exercise, allow a minute or two between each step.
1. Close your eyes. Feel your breath rising and falling in your body. As you inhale, inhale through the belly, expand it. Allow the weight of your body to push the air out.
2. Place your hands on your heart. Feel the beat of your heart, the life force energy within you. Feel your heart pumping blood to every part of your body.
3. Keep your attention focused on your heart and your heartbeat. If your mind wanders, simply bring it back to the center of your heart.
4. In your mind’s eye, see a flame in the center of your heart. This signifies the spark of the Divine within you. It’s the essence of who you are. Connect to this flame and feel what it means to you.
5. Exhale fully. When you are ready, open your eyes.
This exercise can have a wonderfully positive effect on your life. You can use it any time of day, wherever you are, whenever you don’t feel centered and it only takes a minute or two. You can do it at your desk, while you are sitting in your car, at a red light, etc.
When we think of the angels, we often think of heavenly beings with wings. While that is true, they are also our closest friends and supporters. When we take the time to focus on our Divine light within, we bring ourselves closer to our angels and their message.

The more you meditate and focus on your Divine flame within, the closer you bring yourself to your angels.
Automatic Writing – Communicating With Your Angels
Our angels are assigned to us for protection, guidance and love. Even in our loneliest moments, we’re never alone. All we have to do is call on our angels for guidance in every area of our life.
Your angels are just as excited to communicate with you as you are with them, and there’s a very simple technique that you can use to communicate.
Automatic writing has been around for centuries. People have used it to speak with their guides, angels and loved ones in spirit.
It doesn’t require you to do anything unusual. Simply sitting in a comfortable position with a pen and paper is all you need. If you’re like me and want to bring through messages quicker, you can use a computer keyboard.
Now, there are two types of writing when communicating with your angels. There is
“automatic writing” and
“automatic dictation”.
When you’re automatic writing, you’re not aware of what’s being written.
You feel a sort of floating sensation, as though you’re floating above your keyboard.
With automatic dictation, you’re fully aware of every word you’re writing
and the information comes to you either in your mind’s eye (clairvoyance), by hearing it (clairaudience) or by knowing it (claircognizance).
The whole process of automatic writing is really very simple….don’t complicate it by allowing your mind to analyze whether or not it’s you or your angels.
Most people think the process is going to be hard and that they’re not “qualified” to communicate with their angels in this way. Humbug!
I assure you, you’re very qualified to communicate with your angels!
Before you begin, it’s a great idea to have a journal that you can keep solely for your communications with your angels. As your conversations with them progress, you’ll be able to refer back to your increasing progress and read all the messages you received.
Talking With Your Angels – 12
You don’t need to make this a ritual with candles, incense or other types of paraphernalia. You can certainly use them if you like, but they’re not required. All you need is your willingness to let your angels “in” no matter where you are.
Let’s get started:
Find a comfy spot to sit and relax. It can be on the floor or in your favorite chair, or sitting up in bed.
Take several deep refreshing breaths and allow your body to relax.
Say a short prayer to elevate your energy and call in your angels such as:
“Dear God:
Please help me to hear your messages clearly through your loving angels. Allow me to be healed in my areas of greatest need and to learn more about your truth, love and joy.”
As you begin, asking a question will help your angels communicate with you. They can’t answer you unless you ask!
“Dear Angels, what would you like to teach me today?”
“Dear Angels, can you please tell me about my strengths?”
Remember to relax and breathe. Open yourself up to your angels’ energy so you’ll be in an active, receptive place.
Begin writing anything and everything that comes to mind. You may hear a single word or a sentence. You may see an image or picture in your mind. You may get a sense of knowing.
It doesn’t matter how it comes to you, simple write it all down. Don’t allow your mind to start analyzing what’s being written.
Don’t analyze, organize or judge, just write!
Ask your angels their names. You may hear, see or know the answer. Write down the very first thing you get. Ask them whatever question you would like the answer to.
Talking With Your Angels – 13
Note:
As you write, are you aware of what’s being written? Do you feel a floating sensation as you write?
You’ll receive your message easily but don’t stop to question it or talk yourself out of an accurate angel communication. Our minds want nothing more than to be in control of every situation, including automatic writing.
Don’t allow doubt to take away from your session.
Simply acknowledge any feelings that arise, then push them aside.
When communicating with your angels, you messages will be positive, helpful and loving. Angels give with love and truth.
If you receive a message that is not joyful and loving, you may have picked up on an energy that is not angelic. Simply ask your angels to remove that energy and show it to the light, then call in your angels for communication.
What you receive is what the angels want to tell you.
It may be simple or complicated, but trust what is given to you. Automatic writing and automatic dictation are not a science. They’re both simple processes that opens you up to receive communication from your angels.
It’s important not to ask your angels about other people as the angels don’t engage in psychic gossip. You are their primary concern.
Once the messages slow down and you’re not receiving anything more, thank your angels for their time.
Remember to journal your communications and as you progress with your automatic writing, your communication with your angels will strengthen and your messages will become longer and more detailed.
Have fun with your angels!

A Meditation To Open To Your Angel
This wonderful meditation will help you to open to your angel. It will become easier with practice and your bond with your angel will grow stronger.
Have a notebook and pen handy. Write “Opening to My Angel” and the date at the top of the page.
1. Sit in a quiet, peaceful space with your feet flat on the floor and your eyes closed. Ask your angel to draw closer to you. Imagine its wings softly folded around you.
2. As you slowly inhale and exhale, feel or sense the presence of your angel reaching out to you. Ask your angel to come closer to you now. Breathe in your angel’s essence and energy and allow yourself to feel the love emanating from your angel.
3. Bring your attention to the center of your heart. Ask your angel a question. Imagine yourself writing the question within your heart.
4. When you feel the words to your question within your heart, open your eyes and write your question down in your notebook. Close your eyes again.
5. With the words of your mind and in your heart, connect with the deep desire to hear your angel’s voice. Listen in your heart…become aware of any feelings. Our Angels reach out to us through our feelings. Allow the feelings to come to you and be open to the words that arise.
6. Write down whatever you receive, whether they’re words, images or feelings.
7. Remember to thank your angel for this message.
8. Read over what you’ve just received.
Notice how you feel about the message. If the words you wrote down bring tears to your eyes or you feel moved by them, you’ll know that your angel has just spoken to you.
If you’re not sure you received a message, simply close your eyes again and repeat the process from the beginning, and ask your angel to make contact with you.
Accept whatever message you receive with gratitude. Don’t dismiss or judge what comes through because that will shut down your heart and block communication with your angel.
When you accept, you open, and when you’re open, you receive

Meditation and the Seven Steps To Inner Peace
If you want to experience inner peace, you don’t need to travel to exotic locations, study with a yogi or lock yourself in a room and chant endlessly. Finding inner peace is a matter of taking time for yourself to quietly reflect on the stillness within you.
We’re all so busy rushing from one thing to another, occupying our precious time with things that don’t even need our immediate attention.
Sadly, we seldom take time for ourselves to be at peace.
Truth is, the idea of someone having 20 minutes of free time to do nothing could very well put them in a panic! Most people wouldn’t know what to do with themselves. That’s because they don’t know inner peace.
Inner peace is the reflection of within. It is the focus of the quiet stillness within you that gives you a sense of the kind of peace and relaxation that is without words.
Meditation is the secret to finding inner peace. Inner peace is the secret to spiritual awakening and oneness with your spiritual self.
Here are some suggestions that will help you find inner peace.
1.
Spend Time In Quiet Reflection
With all that’s going on in the world today, one of the best things you can do to achieve inner peace is to minimize or eliminate reading newspapers and watching the news.
When we allow our mind to absorb the negativity that’s around us, we become more detached from our spirituality and achieving inner peace.
When our mind has nothing to occupy it, it immediately feels insecure and looks for something to fill the void. That’s when we instantly turn on the TV or surf the internet, anything to keep the mind busy.
Instead, when you find yourself with some free time, even if it’s just 15 minutes, use that time to be still, to be by yourself, to focus inward. A guided meditation will help you take a huge leap forward toward inner peace.
2.
You Are What You Think
Manifest A Miracle
states that we’ve been conditioned to think negativity and the life we live today is the direct result of those thoughts. Negativity thrives in the minds of
Talking With Your Angels – 16
most people – sad but true. They thrive on bad news, they buy it, they follow it, they seek it out. It’s no wonder that so many people seem so unhappy and withdrawn, unable to escape the self-imposed wall of negativity they’ve build around themselves.
We must take the necessary steps to avoid negative thinking. You’ll never be able to achieve inner peace when you’re focused on the negative.
There’s simply nothing at all to be gained by thinking negative thoughts.
Changing your way of thinking is not going to be easy – it doesn’t happen overnight. But what steps are you willing to take to change your life and achieve inner peace?
You are the master of your mind, not the other way around. Take control of your thoughts and you’ll not only take control of your life, but you’ll achieve inner peace.

.
Simplify Your Life
“There never enough time in the day.”
How many times have you heard someone say that? We fill our days up with so many chores, tasks and mundane activities and as a result, we don’t stand a chance in achieving inner peace. Simply because we don’t take the time.
You want to meditate but have to get the laundry done. You want to spend some time to yourself but the grass has to be mowed. You want to sit down for just a few minutes but you have to vacuum first.
When you stop placing demands on your time, you’ll feel a weight lifted from your shoulders.
Prioritize your time by tackling the big tasks first, plan time for yourself, then accomplish some of the smaller tasks, but at a comfortable pace. You’ll find your day a lot less hectic and a lot more enjoyable.
4.
Quiet Time Alone Is The Foundation of Inner Peace
Each day we spend our time working for someone else, taking care of our families, cleaning, cooking, etc. Sadly, we never manage to find just 15 minutes to focus on inner peace.
Sitting quietly and simply listening to the breath allows the body and mind to relax.
Talking With Your Angels – 17
This cultivates inner peace. There’s no amount of money that will bring you inner peace. There’s nothing “without” you that can bring you inner peace. It must come from “within” you, from within those quiet moments of solitude when there is only you and stillness.
If you have trouble stilling you mind, ask your angels to help remove those busy thoughts so you can focus on inner peace.
5.
Be Immune to Flattery and Criticism
You must remember that it’s not what others think, but what you think that matters.
We certainly can listen to the criticism and flattery of others, but if we depend on them, we rob ourselves of inner peace.
Allowing yourself to be affected by people who bestow either flattery or criticism on you will inflate your ego which pulls you further away from inner peace.
Allow yourself to have a strong sense of confidence and self. Know that your opinions are ultimately the ones that matter. Don’t criticize anyone but instead accept them for who they are. Leave the criticism to those who lack good judgment and self-confidence.
6.
Act Selflessly
Act from the heart and reap the rewards!
Give selflessly of yourself. When we serve others in some form, the feelings of love, happiness and inner peace will envelope you like a big hug from someone you love.
7.
Avoid Criticism of Others
It’s vital that we empathize with others, to put ourselves in someone else’s place.
We must be aware that everyone is fighting a battle of some kind. Criticism of others is a negative energy that deeply affects your sense of inner peace.
When we criticize, it’s impossible to feel inner peace. Instead, make an effort to give your love and energy to others in need, and in doing so that positive energy will have a wonderful ripple effect.

Angels and Your Life Purpose It’s Not A One Man Show
Whether you realize it or not, you are surrounded by heavenly beings that are here to help you. Not only do they want to help you, but their purpose in your life is to help you on your path.
Life is not an “every man for himself” endeavor. You can certainly live that way if you want, but why not enjoy the spiritual gifts that heaven has for you?
Angels are the embodiment of God’s love and energy sent to us from heaven. They’re goal is to assist us our entire lives. Before we’re born, we set a life plan for ourselves containing the lessons we are to learn in this life and on a soul level.
Your life plan is precisely what, where and with whom you are meant to be. There’s nothing in life more fulfilling than being on course with your life purpose, or your soul plan.
It doesn’t matter if you want to be a millionaire, a parent, or a business owner – living your life path according to exactly how you planned it before you were born is by far the greatest gift and most successful accomplishment you can achieve.
When we’re born we’re given at least two guardian angels, without exception. These heavenly souls are assigned to be with you your entire life and offer you their loving and divine help, as well as their guidance and support according to what you’ve set out to do in your life.
As you live your life and grow, you take on more guardian angels, especially in times when you want, need or ask for help in your life.
Most guardian angels stay with you your entire life. Take advantage of their love and guidance by asking them to help you in every area of your life.

121 Ways To Be Awesome!
1. Care
If you want to be awesome, you have to care. Care about the people around you and even people you’ve never met. This is especially true if you’re blogging or a public figure. Care about your fans and they will care even more about you.
2. Give Value
We all have something to share. Always focus on what you can do for others. What do you love and what are you good at (or want to become good at)?
3. Be honest
Honesty feels good and is the right thing to do. But why do many choose to lie instead? Most often it’s because it makes their life easier, or does it? It usually might seem like it in the short-term, but in the long-term, honesty always wins.
4. Be honorable
Be honorable and respectable. This means doing the right things, keeping promises and in general, being someone who does the right thing. Look at our world leaders today and do the opposite.
Talking With Your Angels – 21
5. Integrity
Having integrity for me means being ethical and following a moral code that is both practical and benefits all of humanity. It’s idealistic, but it is certainly worth striving for, isn’t it?
6. Follow your passion
Find your passion and follow it. Never give up. There is always a way to do what you love while supporting yourself. It may not come in the form you think, so be open-minded .
7. Take responsibility
You are responsible for your life. There is no one to blame. If you’re not happy with your life or with your circumstances, you are the only one that can take responsibility and start changing it. What are you waiting for?
8. Be positive
Being just a little bit more positive can mean a lot of things. Reading a good book, checking out positive quotations or even watching a movie that you enjoy. The possibilities are endless. Even though being positive is cliché and kind of irritating, it is still useful.
9. Take action
You can dream and you can wonder, but nothing happens without taking action consistently. You don’t have to be perfect. Learn as much as you need to know the next step and take action!
10. Be radical
Sometimes it’s good to be radical, if it’s you. Radical means different things to different people, so I’ll leave it up to you to interpret it.
11. Focus on your strengths
Stop trying to fix your weaknesses. You can’t be perfect. Focus on your strength and let other people do what you’re bad at.
Talking With Your Angels – 22
12. Do less
You can do less and live more. You don’t need more stuff. Release your cravings for materialism. It will lead to less debt, less work and less stress.
13. Be authentic
Whatever you do, be authentic. Be yourself. I’ve always been a bit of an introvert, so this is another one of those points that I’m constantly working on.
14. Enjoy the process
When you’re doing something you love, you will automatically enjoy the process. Goals don’t even matter at this point. Sure, they give you a direction, but you’re loving life and feeling awesome.
15. Be practical
You don’t have to quit your job to do what you love. You can slowly start phasing it out by working on your passion project after you get home from work. Be practical and realistic. Don’t just jump into your passion when you don’t have a plan.
16. Lose arguments
Why do we insist on being right all the time? Try losing arguments. It’s great fun and interrupts patterns in people. Seeing people get confused is a lot of fun.
17. Let someone pass you in line at the supermarket
Everyone’s in a rush to get home, but what if you took a deep breathe and let someone pass you? It’s unexpected and it makes people smile.
18. Quit your job
If you’re ready for it, just quit your job. There’s no need to hang onto something that you don’t need. For the rest of you, stay put.
19. Give away stuff
How much stuff do you have that you haven’t used in the last 12 months? What about giving it all away? I know a lot of people that have their houses full of stuff.
Talking With Your Angels – 23
20. Focus
Be aware of where your focus is. Where focus goes, energy flows. If you’re constantly thinking about how you will fail, you will feel bad and maybe even fail. Think about how you will succeed and you might just succeed. If at first you don’t succeed, try again.
21. Tidy up
Keep your apartment or house clean. Not saying that I’m a master of cleanliness or anything, but it sure does feel good to have everything looking good, doesn’t it?
22. Embrace challenges
Most people avoid challenges, or as they like to call them: problems. What would life be without challenges? Incredibly boring. We would never grow – at least not as fast – and everything would be smooth sailing.
23. Live with power
Live with power and certainty. Power goes hand in hand with responsibility. Take action, be confident, be yourself and trust that your intuition will guide you wherever you need to be.
24. Practice courage
We all have our fears. By practicing courage and doing something even though you’re afraid, you grow. New stuff is scary. I know that. You know that. Let’s do it anyway, shall we?
25. Surround yourself with awesome people
The people you choose as friends have a big impact on how you think and act. Do not accept just anyone into your life. Choose your friends wisely.
26. Go with the flow
You know, the universe is constantly giving you hints and trying to pull you in one direction. Are you noticing those hints? From now on, think about the signs you’re getting and follow them.
Talking With Your Angels – 24
27. Release expectations
Release all expectations after you’ve set your goal. You never know what the universe might deliver to your doorstep. That’s why you want to have an open-mind, because what if the universe has something better in store for you?
28. Experiment
Dare to experiment. Embrace failure, because that is how you learn and how you grow. Being awesome means looking ridiculous and making tons of mistakes. Why? Because it helps you become better and provide even more value.
29. Live within your means
Do you really need a car? Do you need cable T.V? We can live a lot cheaper when we realize that we do not need a lot of the stuff we think we need. This allows you to work less and have more free time to do what you want.
30. Slow down
Life is busy. Try to be conscious as much as possible. Breathe and slow down. Enjoy the fact that you’re alive. Be grateful for the little things. Be grateful for the big things.
31. Use money as a tool
Money doesn’t have to enslave you. How much money do you really need? How about having enough to do what you want, when you want to do it? Why would anyone need more than that?
32. Dream
Let yourself dream. All my childhood I’ve been told that things can’t be done, but I have come to realize just the opposite, so let yourself dream and ignore the people that don’t know what they’re talking about.
33. Have a kid
I don’t have a kid, yet. But I’ve heard it is a life changing event, especially if you plan it and stay conscious during the whole journey. It will be an interesting experience once I have a kid or ten of my own.
Talking With Your Angels – 25
34. Learn a new language
How many times have you heard or even said “I want to learn a new language”? Stop wishing and start doing. Just 10-15 minutes a day will give you results.
35. Be ridiculous
Don’t be afraid of being ridiculous or silly. In other words, just be yourself. We keep hearing that every market is saturated nowadays. Millions of blogs are born all the time. In this day and age you have to stand out. How do you do that? By being ridiculous. By being yourself.
36. Enjoy nature
How long has it been since you took a walk in nature? What about sitting down in the forest and just listening to the wildlife? Be careful if you have bears in your area though, they can easily sneak up on you .
37. Self-discipline
Having and exercising discipline comes in handy more often than you think. We all have weak moments in our lives when we are just about to give up.
38. Plan your day
Before you get out of bed, visualize how your perfect day would look like. How do you want that day to go?
39. Excuses
Have you been putting off doing what you love because you’re afraid? It’s time to throw out all the excuses and just do it. You will see that the fear and excuses fall away once you realize that they really do not hold as much power as you think.
40. Travel
When I finished school at 18, I went to Spain a few months after that. I lived there for almost a year. It enhanced my growth and I learned so much. I enjoy slow traveling, just picking one country, seeing if it’s nice and then staying there.
Talking With Your Angels – 26
41. Get a pet
Get a cat, dog, duck, parrot, mouse or even a panda. They’re all awesome. I like animals. Unfortunately, I am allergic to them, but I still find ways to hangout with them without dying. There are a lot of shelter pets that need your help!
42. Clothes
Do you really buy the clothes you want? Or do you buy the clothes you think people like to see? I’m by no means a fashion expert, but I’ve noticed this pattern in myself many times.
43. Backpack Have you ever traveled with just a backpack? I did this for a month in Thailand. It wasn’t exactly in the form I would have liked, but it was pretty interesting.
44. Couchsurf
Sleep on a couch or share a couch. It’s called couchsurfing. People all around the world are giving strangers a couch to sleep on.
45. Attend a concert
Sure, surround sound sounds awesome, but there’s nothing like attending a concert and hearing music live.
46. Recycle
Everyone is talking about how the earth is dying, but are we actually doing anything about it? Are you recycling and making sure everything ends up in the right place?
47. Re-use
Can you re-use old bottles, bags or anything in your house instead of throwing it out and buying it again?
Talking With Your Angels – 27
48. Social media
If you’re not already involved in social media, get involved. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and so on. They are tools to help you connect with the right people. Use them.
49. Blog
Starting a blog doesn’t mean you have to make money. You can start a blog just to have a home on the internet. Share your thoughts and build a community. You might even discover your passion in the process.
50. Talk to a dolphin
I’ve talked to dolphins in my sleep, but never in real life. I just have this feeling. You have to talk to a dolphin at least once in your life. I’m going to do it soon enough, you can quote me on that.
51. Yoda
If yoda you have not seen, then see him you must. I’ve been in love with the whole Star Wars thing ever since I saw the first movie as a child. Granted, I do not dress up as a wookie, but I still enjoy the whole series, because somewhere out there, it actually exists.
Health
52. Relax
Stress is killing all of us slowly. Take time out of your day to relax. Meditate, be mindful, walk, hangout with your loved ones or pet. Take a hot bath or a sauna (I love saunas)!
53. Listen to your body
What is your body telling you? Are you working too hard? Not eating enough nutrient-dense foods? By keeping your body happy, you can keep your mind happy, which will allow you to unleash your creativity.
Talking With Your Angels – 28
54. Eat fruit
Fruits are easily digested by the human body. They also contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, flavonoids and all kinds of nutrients that help keep your body alive. It’s not about surviving, it’s about thriving!
55. Eat vegetables
I don’t like vegetables that much. But I’ve discovered that broccoli soup is quite delicious. I also juice my vegetables with oranges. That way I get my nutrition without it tasting horrible.
56. Drink pure water
The amount of chemicals in our tap water today is frightening. Choose spring water or use a high quality water filtration system to ensure the purest possible drinking water. We are made up out of mostly water, after all.
57. Sleep
Even a little bit of sleep deprivation can alter your mood and cognitive abilities. I know I have to get my 8-9 hours of sleep otherwise I’m not going to feel like myself.
58. Exercise
You and I both know that exercise rocks, it’s just that we tend not to do it that much. When you exercise, your brain releases endorphins, adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin. These are chemicals that work behind the scenes to make you feel good.
59. Eat less meat
Research studies have proven that red meat is linked to increased risk of various diseases. The most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted proves that less meat increases health.
Talking With Your Angels – 29
60. Eat light meals
Eat meals that satisfy you and nothing more. Eat slowly and listen to your body. I tend to gorge myself, so this is another one I’m integrating into my life. It’s funny because it’s almost as if it is happening naturally.
61. Drink green smoothies
Smoothies are great nutritional bombs that are full of flavor, but green smoothies are even better. You get energy without crashing. You give your body the nutrients it needs without even tasting the vegetables in the smoothie.
62. Stop alcohol
I don’t like alcohol and I don’t enjoy being around people who are drunk. Having a sip of wine or champagne is cool though. Studies show that moderate consumption is O.K and even beneficial.
63. Throw away processed foods
Your body has trouble with processed foods such as sugar, sodas, candy, pasta and practically anything that comes in a box. Eat whole, natural, fresh foods instead and take control of your health.
64. Ride your bike
Do you even have one? I love riding those really old bikes that are made for old people. They are super comfortable and so simple with one gear.
65. Take the stairs
Are you in love with the elevator? Skip it next time and run up the stairs. Why? Because it’s harder and therefore infinitely more awesome.
66. Grow your own food
The ideal choice would be to grow all of your own food, but for most people that just isn’t possible. You can still grow indoors if you want, but that takes resources and space. Growing your own food will give you access to fresh produce that is extremely high in enzymes and nutrients.
Talking With Your Angels – 30
67. Eat sprouts
Sprouts are awesome and extremely easy to make. The only thing you need are dry seeds, water and a bag. There are a lot of resources out there that show you how to sprout seeds, so check them out.
68. Try martial arts
Martial arts aren’t for everyone, but if you can find something you like, it can uplift your spirit and give you an outlet for your creativity, while keeping you fit and looking good.
69. Try yoga
Yoga is an ancient practice that connects the mind, body and spirit. It helps with blood pressure, circulation, balance, body awareness, core strength and mood, just to throw a few benefits out there.
70. Lift weights
Many have the notion that if they lift weights, they’ll wake up the next morning looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger. It’s a nice myth. Weight lifting is beneficial, but can become boring if you don’t throw some variation in there.
71. Detoxify
The food we eat, air we breathe and water we drink is filled with pollutants, chemicals and toxins. Cleansing and going through a herbal detoxification regimen can help your body eliminate these toxins and improve your health.
72. Massage
Get a massage and give a massage. Getting a massage will help you release tension, relax and be a little bit more of who you really are. I tried shiatsu a few years ago and it was awesome.
Talking With Your Angels – 31
73. Juices
Freshly-squeezed fruit and vegetable juices are nature’s multivitamins. They are digested extremely fast and put minimal strain on your body.
74. Fast
Juice fasting and water fasting have both been proven by people all around the world to improve health and wellbeing. If you’re planning a water fast, you might want to contact someone that knows their stuff, it can get rough.
75. Take an omega-3 supplement
The benefits of fish oil have been proven over and over again. You can eat fatty fish and get your omega-3’s that way, but for those that do not like fish or can’t eat enough, supplementation might be an option.
76. Take a natural multivitamin
The nutrition in our food has been slowly declining over the decades, because of the use of fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and other chemicals. A natural multivitamin will keep your bases covered.
Spiritual
77. Breathe
Remind yourself to breathe deeply through your nose and into your abdomen. Breathe out through your mouth, slowly. This relaxes and releases stress. Focus on your breath and notice your body and mind saying goodbye to tension.
78. Meditate
Taking time off from your busy schedule to meditate. It enhances your brain power, mood and reduces pain sensitivity. Learning how to meditate is easy, so make time for it. No, not someday. Now. Schedule 10 minutes right now and try it.
Talking With Your Angels – 32
79. Release the how
We’re always trying to figure out how something is going to happen. Release the how. Our brains aren’t meant to know how things are going to happen. It causes anxiety, worry and other mental problems.
80. Volunteer
Almost every city has somewhere where you can volunteer. Go check it out and try it for one day. You might like it.
81. Be open minded
Don’t judge a book by its cover. Be open to everything, because you never know where it may lead. What if you tried an origami class today where you met someone that will help you 13 years from now? You can never know.
82. Grow
Grow as a human being, a spiritual being and a conscious soul. If you aren’t growing, you’re slowly withering away. There is no middle ground. Always push yourself. Live uncomfortably and evolve.
83. Be grateful
Write down and think about the positive things in your life. Practice gratitude every night before sleep. It may feel weird, but enjoying the little things you are grateful for will have an impact on you.
84. Make connections
One of the most important things in life is making connections. My life has significantly shifted towards making more connections and giving value, from just being someone who does something for money. This has had a huge impact on my life.
85. Accept
Do you constantly want to change they way things are? What if you had done that one thing differently in the past? Stop it. You’re putting yourself in mental hell. Accept what is. Ironically, that is the first step to change.
Talking With Your Angels – 33
86. Forgive
Forgive yourself and others. It will take a huge load off your back. You don’t have to hold grudges against anyone. You are only causing anguish to yourself.
87. Patience
Nothing happens fast. I learned this the hard way. In the small amount of behind-the-scenes coaching that I’ve done I keep seeing this over and over again. People want to make it online and they want fast results, but the truth is that you have to work hard for 6-12-24 months before anything happens.
88. Create
We all like to do something. We are made to create. Whether it is writing, painting or singing doesn’t matter. Creating gives birth to serenity. When you’re in the flow of creating in a form you enjoy, you will see what I am talking about. My favorite form is writing at the moment.
89. Say hi
Just saying hi and shooting a smile at people you pass on the street can have a huge impact on their day, and in your own life. Spreading the joy feels good.
90. Hug people
What about taking it to the next level and hugging people on the street? Start your own free hugs campaign. That video is awesome.
91. Be aware of your beliefs
Your beliefs control what you see, what you believe and where you’re heading. If you don’t believe that you’re awesome, then you won’t accomplish awesome things.
92. Thank as many people as you can
Go out of your way to thank as many people as you can. If you have a blog, thank your visitors in any way you can. Give them free stuff. Send them personal e-mails. Help them out.
Talking With Your Angels – 34
93. Intuition
Take chances. Don’t be afraid to trust your intuition. For me, intuition is that feeling I get in my heart. I feel drawn to something and it feels good. It’s not correct 100% of the time (because I misinterpret), but it’s fun following it and seeing what happens.
94. Learn to say no
Saying no is liberating and powerful. You do not have to accept every request that your friends or loved ones make. You control your time. If you’re afraid that your friends will un-like you for not doing stuff, then they aren’t really your friends.
95. Release labels
When we look at someone we automatically put a label on them and often we’re wrong. Think about all those times you analyzed someone and thought you were right. When you met them and talked to them you realized how wrong you were.
96. Imagine
Imagine how you would like to be. Confident, charismatic, funny and whatever else you fancy. Now think of how that version of you acts and lives their everyday life. Then imitate them.
97. Be present
There’s no need to dwell on the past or the future. Take your awareness and plant it in the now. Be aware of your body, thoughts and feelings. Just observe them and allow them to be.
98. Embrace Imperfection
We have to be perfect. Never fail. Failure was frowned upon when I was a kid, so I grew up thinking I had to be perfect. Took me a long time to realize that it wasn’t necessarily so. It’s okay to be imperfect. It’s human.
Talking With Your Angels – 35
99. Ask for help
Don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you have trouble, reach out to someone and ask for their assistance. We can’t always do things on our own.
100. Respect people
Show people respect. This is a big one. I wasn’t good at showing others respect just a few years ago. I’m learning though and doing my best.
101. Trust
Trust others. There are a lot of good people out there that will help you. I’m not saying you should trust anyone blindly though. But I think you know what I mean.
102. Release negative people
You don’t have to hang around negative people, you know? They are there to teach you that. Let them go and say good bye.
103. Listen to others
Listen to what people have to say. Don’t you feel appreciated when someone has 100% of their attention on you? Do the same.
104. There is no spoon
You create your reality. Realize that you have the power to create what you want. If you don’t agree then you have a few beliefs to let go of.
105. Ego
The ego has its tasks, but it has taken the population of Earth hostage. You can free yourself by breathing and allowing it to be as it is.
106. Release negativity
There are a lot of good tools to release negative emotions, beliefs and thoughts. Two of my favorites are Emotional Freedom Technique and the Sedona Method.
Talking With Your Angels – 36
107. Use NLP
Ever heard of Neuro-Linguistic Programming? It’s basically taking control of your brains operating system. It’s another tool that you might find useful.
108. Journal
Writing down your thoughts will help you gain clarity. Since I started writing my decision-making has been sharper and more awesome. By journaling you can learn more about yourself and therefore improve your life and at the same time affect those around you in a positive way.
109. Simplify your life
Throw out superfluous goals, things and stuff in general. External purging affects your internal state. Don’t you just feel better when you give or even throw old stuff away? I know I do. You do too, you just can’t admit it, can you?
110. Have goals
Write down your goals. They don’t have to be incredibly meticulous. Just having them in writing gives them more power. You’ve heard the stories, someone writes down a goal and forgets about it, then they find it 10 years later and you know the story .
111. Read
Reading teaches you things. Secret things. Did you know that most people don’t read? That means you’ll know many secrets that they don’t, just by reading books. Two of my favorite books are the Power of Now and Way of the Peaceful Warrior.
112. Throw out your T.V
How much time do you spend watching T.V? I haven’t watched television regularly for a very long time. It frees up amazing amounts of time. If you watch 2 hours a day, that’s 730 hours per year, or 4.34 weeks per year. It’s time to kill your T.V.
113. Stop reading the news
How often have you felt happy after reading the news? It’s filled with propaganda, manipulated stories and bombs. Why read it? It doesn’t do you any good.
Talking With Your Angels – 37
114. Don’t multitask
I’m a huge multi-tasker and addicted to it. I don’t really want to change that habit right now, but I have noticed that whenever I focus on one thing, magic happens more often than not.
115. Enjoy music
I tend to only listen to music while I do other things. One day I put on music and sat with my eyes closed. It was as if another world had opened up. Everything seemed different.
116. Turn off your phone
I’ve had my phone turned off a lot. I’ve even stopped answering the phone when it rings. I guess that’s one of the reasons why people don’t call me anymore. But on a more serious note, it’s relaxing .
117. Turn off your IM
Did you think I was going to let you have your Instant Messenger on? Shut it down! In fact, I’m going to shut mine off right now. There, it’s done. Try it.
118. Learn your values
What are your true values in life? Do you value integrity? Honesty? What about love? How about money? Which one is #1?
119. Prioritize
People say they don’t have time, when in reality they’re saying they lack priorities. If you don’t have time to follow your passion, you don’t really care about feeling fulfilled and awesome. Learn how to eliminate and discriminate.
120. Keep it simple
Keep things as simple as necessary, but no simpler.
121. Death
Remind yourself that you are going to leave this earth eventually. This will melt away any obstacles that are preventing you from living your life to the fullest. Henri Juntilla
