The best solution for people with difficulty managing mood swings, anxieties, and impulsivities is not a pill. It’s the power of their thoughts harnessed effectively with the goal of maximizing positive outcomes in all aspects of their lives.

With the proper set of psychological tools, one can learn to stabilize emotional states amidst stress and chaos, navigate difficulties and obstacles in one’s life path, effectively communicate with others and strengthen relationships, and eliminate self-sabotaging behaviors.

What if it were that simple? What if you could do that right now? And every now after now?

Would it be worth what you would have to give up for it? Your drama. Your pain. Your victimhood. Your judgments. Your ego.

Be not afraid. Choose love now. Choose joy now. Regardless of the chaos swirling around you.

Do it now and experience eternity.

A former patient of mine thanked me recently for helping her develop tools to communicate more effectively with her husband and resolve the difficulties in their relationship. She mentioned that they still have their ups and downs, but she is able to effectively navigate the rough waters when they occur. She then shared this story that had happened a few days earlier:

I was walking on the street in the rain, contemplating an argument I had just had with my husband, trying to sort it all out and find resolution and peace.

The gutter next to me was full of leaves, blocking water from flowing into the drain. It made me think of love and obstacles in its way, how love can be blocked. I thought of the water as love and leaves as baggage keeping it from flowing its course.

As I was walking, the rain began to get heavier. Then I heard something… water running next to me… I looked… and I saw all the leaves being carried by the influx of water. The blockage had broken and the water was running free.

I stood still and understood. Love is like that water. With too little, it gets caught up in baggage, but if you give it more, you give it power to flow. I knew what I needed to do to resolve the problem with my husband. It worked.

Love never fails.

Last year I met Ruben James, a fellow spiritual traveler and teacher, when he agreed to partner with me in the launching of my book, Forgive To Win!.

Sometime after that, he offered me a free session during which he would guide me through a “Quantum Experience” — essentially a guided imagery technique that takes one within, to discover one’s Inner Voice, one’s truth, one’s mission and authenticity, and to help one eliminate the internal blocks and barriers getting in the way of one’s success.

I took him up on his offer and he guided me through a powerful internal experience during which I got incredibly clear on my mission, my life’s purpose and what I needed to do.

When we are having difficulty forgiving others, we focus on our blessings and on being grateful for what we have in our lives despite what has been done to us. This can take the sting out of any offense and make it easier for us to let go of our resentments in order to forgive.
