The Beauty of Appreciation, Expanded

 A few weeks ago, I wrote a Note on The Beauty of Appreciation. In that note, I told you about the birth of my son, and the complications that followed. How I was diagnosed with MS, and how I overcame one of the biggest obstacles in my life. There were many details that I did not share, however, and I would like to share those with you right now.

If you read the Note on the Beauty of Appreciation, you’ll be up to speed on this Note. Here we go:

     On May 11, 2008, I was scheduled to be induced. My son was 3 weeks premature but we were having complications and he needed to be delivered. It turned out that I was allergic to the medication that I was given to induce the labour, which caused my body to go into shock, and my baby’s heartbeat to plummet. I was rushed in to an emergency C-Section, which we knew would be bad because I am allergic to anaesthetic. The doctors assured me that I would not react poorly to the “cocktail” that they had created for me.

     My beautiful son was born, and was so content to just look around. He smiled and wiggled as he was examined, and wrapped up. He was given to my husband, who brought him over to me so I could give him a kiss. They left the room, and the doctors kept working on me. I felt myself slipping away, slowly losing consciousness. I experienced the most extreme internal battle of my life in that moment: “Should I fight harder, and stay for my kids, or should I go? My baby is safe, my children are safe, and they will be well taken care of. I have fulfilled my purpose here. I brought my children into this world, they will do great things…“ That was the last thought that entered my mind. Then there was just peace.

     I was resuscitated less than two minutes later. The doctors laughed and said “We lost you for a minute there”. The cause of the “complication” was “Massive internal haemorrhaging”. In the intensive care, I died again, this time it was from “complications” from the surgery. It was May 14th, my Mother’s birthday. I called her in the morning and sang her Happy Birthday. She knew something was wrong, even though I didn’t say it. Call it “Mothers intuition”. She had been caring for my older children at my house, which was 45 minutes away from the hospital. She called my husband and told him to get home, because she was going to the hospital. She arrived minutes before I died.

    I learned in that short visit that doctors are there to serve YOU! Not the other way around. When you are in the hospital, Ask for what you need. Otherwise, you could have “Complications”….

    When I got home, my body had shut down. I could not walk, I could not speak, I could not comprehend. I’ve always tried my best not to complain, no matter how bad a situation is, so I fought through my daily schedule, with three kids, a husband, 2 dogs, a cat, and a home to care for. Over time, it got a little better but it wasn’t returning to where it was pre-surgery.  So I went to see my doctor.  At the end of our appointment he told me he thought I had multiple sclerosis, and that he wanted me to see a specialist. He warned me that MS is very debilitating, and I may be in a wheelchair within the year.

      I’m the type of person who doesn’t like to be told what to do… I went home and researched MS. To be perfectly honest, I didn’t even know what it was. I had heard of it but I didn’t know the effects, or the treatment. I researched for 3 months. At the end of those 3 months, I knew more about MS than most specialists. I knew the treatments like the back of my hand; I knew the stages, the types, the symptoms, the technical terms, etc. I was scared out of my mind, but I Refused to be knocked down.

     I went to see the specialist in December of 08, and she said “These are your three options for Disease Modifying Drugs….” To which I replied “Well that one ruins your liver, and eventually stops working… and that one breaks down the muscle over time and leaves craters in the body… and that one only works in 33% of people, 33% of the time, and eventually stops working all together… Not to mention that All of these cost $1,300 + A Month!!… But I’ve found a drug that works in 98% of people, 90% of the time, with No side effects after the first 3 days. It never stops working, and it only costs $30 a month. I would like to try it for the next year. If it doesn’t work, I will try your drugs, if it does work, I will stay on it for life. Does that work for you?”. She smiled at me and said “I’m so glad you’ve found it, I’m not allowed to advertise it because it’s an off label use (a drug made for one treatment but used for another).”

     I have been on this drug since September of last year. I haven’t had a relapse since then. I tried, and researched everything from vegetarian diets, no fat diets, bee venom therapy, coconut butter, vitamins and minerals, etc. But the two that have Worked (and I mean Worked!!) are this drug, and exercising.

      While I was researching, I began exercising. I started off small because I could hardly function. I worked my way up to running. In September of ’08, my doctor told me I could potentially be in a wheel chair within the year. By September of ’09, I was running 5 km a day. I’m not going to pretend that was easy, because it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. There were days that my knees were buckling and I was crying as I was running on that treadmill (thank goodness for safety cords!), but I did it. Every time I wanted to give up I would say to myself “This is not the hardest thing I’ve ever done”.  

       I did not choose to be diagnosed with MS, but I’m “running” with it, so to speak. I’ve made the best of a bad situation. I’m not going to sit here and let something ruin my life when I have so much more life to live. For a few days, I was really upset about the whole situation, then I realized that there is nothing I can do about Having the disease, but there is something I can do about Controlling it. At my most recent MRI (where they take detailed images of the brain and spinal cord) they discovered that all my lesions (marks on the brain from MS) are inactive. This means that my MS no longer has any control over my life…. I won.

The Beauty of Appreciation

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”

 ~Frederick Keonig

                In May of 2008, I experienced one of the happiest moments of my life. My 3rd child was born. He was so beautiful, and he weighed a healthy 6 pounds 12 ounces. He was 23 inches long and his hair was almost longer than mine! But I didn’t get to hold my baby. He was delivered via Emergency C-Section, and as he was carried out of the operating room to spend time with his dad and grandma, I slowly passed away. I knew I was dying on that table as I watched my now ex-husband carry him out of the room, but I was at peace with that because they had saved my baby.

                Within 2 minutes, they resuscitated me, but that was not the end of my battle. Once I arrived in the intensive care, and the anaesthetic began wearing off, I started noticing small things were wrong with my previously normal body. My hands were not moving the way they should, I could not speak properly, and the pain in my head was the most excruciating pain I’d ever experienced. The doctors assumed I was experiencing a Spinal Headache, which is surprisingly common when one has an epidural. But my symptoms were not conducive to a spinal headache; they were conducive to a stroke.

                I did not get the care I needed in that hospital. The hospital I delivered my son in was not very reputable but in my situation, it was the only one I could get to in time to deliver my son alive.

In the coming months, I started noticing more and more going wrong with my body. I could not walk a straight line, I could not speak properly, I could not comprehend. I had lost the sensation in the entire left side of my body, and my vision had gone from above average to extremely poor. My body was falling apart and I could not figure out why.  I went to the doctor, who also happened to be my neighbour, and told him of all my problems. He looked down at his book, intertwined his fingers across his desk and said “Lindsey, I think you have Multiple Sclerosis”.

At home that night, I began looking back at my life. All the things I had taken for granted that were so quickly taken away from me. My sight, speech, and comprehension. The ability to walk, and move my hands, and the ability to feel touch.  I was looking out my kitchen window a few days later and a smile came across my face. A bird had Finally landed in the bird feeder that I had put up a few weeks before. It was so beautiful.  I began appreciating each thing in my life after that.  Each smile from my children, each phone call from a friend or family member, my pets and home. They were all a blessing. I had taken everything, especially my physical abilities, for granted.

       It took one year to get back to where I was pre-relapse. It took 14 months to get to an even better place. I no longer take anything in my life for granted. Each sight I see is a gift, because I know what it’s like to be nearly blind. Each touch is a gift because I know what it’s like to not feel. Each person in my life is a gift because I lost my life, and I was entirely confident I would never see them again, or be able to tell them I loved them. Each book I read, and comprehend is a gift because I know how frustrating it is to not understand. Life is a gift, and that is how I perceive it each day. Even on days when everything is going to hell in a hand basket, there’s a gift… all you have to do is look for it.  One of my favourite quotes is “When shit hits the fan, it is not always evenly distributed”. Just remember, from shit, comes beautiful crops.

The Power to Choose

 My childhood formed me into who I am today, about this I have no doubt, but one event stands out above the rest. I believe this one event altered my person so greatly that if it had not happened I would be an entirely different individual.

This event involved my mother, sister, brother and me. I was 6 years old and my father had just passed away. Everyone was emotional, confused and sickly. My mother came into the room, with all her infinite wisdom, and saw the pain on her children’s faces. To our complete and utter amazement she put on a song, turned the volume up and started to dance. It was the most graceful, beautiful, crazy thing I’d ever seen, yet it was perfect. We danced for hours that day, forgetting about our pain and problems. I learned that day that no matter how hard life gets, you can always dance.

Two years ago I had the opportunity to forge through some big battles: an emergency c-section that literally killed me, cervical cancer that tried to knock me down, mini-strokes that went undiagnosed, a multiple sclerosis diagnosis, marital problems, and my brother passing away. Anything that could go wrong did! Every time I wanted to give up and admit defeat, I would think of that time in the kitchen when we danced our problems away. As much as everything hurt (and it hurt a lot), I was still able to get up and dance. Now I’ve taught my children how to dance through their pain and grief. Maybe one day, they’ll teach their children the same thing.

Like I said, my childhood made me who I am today. It wasn’t perfect, but then neither am I. Life is about adapting and making the best out of what you’ve got, just like our dance. Our situation was pretty glum but we made what we could of it. The secret to life is to know you have the power to choose. I choose to dance every day through good and bad, just like when I was a child.

The Law of Attraction and the Power of the Subconscious

I’ve spent the last few months working on a book about the Law of Attraction, and the Power of the Subconscious. Here is a little excerpt of my work so far:

The mind is an infinite wonder, full of amazing capabilities, and skills. It has the fantastic ability to transform your dreams and desires into their physical counterparts. You can do anything that your mind can conceive, as long as you have the belief and will power to make it so.

The Law of Attraction states that “you get what you think about; your thoughts determine your destiny”. Is this a fact? Can you really make your life into anything that you want it to be just by thinking about it happening? The answer is Yes!

According to Cognitive Neuroscientists, most of our decisions, actions, emotions, and behaviour depend on the 95 percent of brain activity that goes Beyond our conscious awareness (subconscious) as we are conscious of only about 5 percent of our cognitive activity. This means the subconscious is dictating most everything we say and do. Not only that, but our long term memories are filtered through the subconscious as well. Try this task: Recite the Alphabet. Easy right? Your subconscious knows the alphabet because of the repetition from childhood.

Now try this: Recite the Alphabet, but leave out every 3rd letter. Not quite as easy, is it? The subconscious does not remember ever doing that, so you will have to break it down and actually think about it.

Now I’m not saying that someone else is controlling you. I am saying the part of you that controls your breathing, blinking, and unconscious actions actually controls a lot more than we initially thought.

You subconscious will decide if you are shy, outgoing, whether or not you’ll over eat, and whether you’ll feel confident in that new outfit. So what does this mean for us?

This means that a person who is timid can program a confidence into their subconscious through the use of positive thinking, repetition and, harnessing the law of attraction, thereby allowing them to portray whatever they want to the outside world. The people around them will respond in kind, believing their potential for success to be great based upon the attitude that they project.

How does this new awareness of the subconscious and the law of attraction affect you? Take a moment to consider which individual is the most likely to gain your attention and interest: The one who sits quietly in the corner and does not seem to have much to say or the one that carries a confident demeanour and is willing to approach you and strike up a conversation? Quite simply, confidence is sexy. People are attracted to people who appear to be comfortable with their lives and their place in it.

Is it true that you can influence your destiny through the power of the Law of Attraction? Certainly. That does not necessarily mean that the cosmos are going to align in order to make your every wish come true; however, with the power of positive thought you can change the way that you approach a situation and give yourself an exponentially greater chance to succeed.

It’s a scientifically proven fact that mankind uses only about 6% of our brains. Albert Einstein supposedly used 10% of his. That leaves an awful lot of untapped brain power.

Consider what we’ve accomplished with the little bit of brain power we’ve been using to date. Is it so hard then to consider the possibilities of what we could achieve?

The Law of Attraction

“The Predominant thought or the mental attitude is the magnet, and the law is that like attracts like, consequently, the mental attitude will invariable attract such conditions as correspond to its nature.”
Charles Haanel

 

The Law of Attraction, positive thinking or whatever you want to call it, works on the premise that we’re capable of determining what we have and how we live with the power of our psychic energy. The idea is that we’re able to direct our mental abilities, our thoughts toward our goals and desires and obtain them.

Granted this ability isn’t something that’s easily obtained. Most people have spent their lives under the impression that the world affects them. Not the other way around. It’s a generally held belief that if fate is determined by us, it’s through our actions and not our thoughts. But aren’t our thoughts the basis of our actions?

If our thoughts cause us to act, and that action results in obtaining our goal, can we not say our thoughts were responsible for the results? The results of our actions are determined by our thoughts. Whether they’re conscious or not, our thoughts do determine what and who we are.

For many, “The Secret” hasn’t been a secret for centuries. It’s been going by different names. Every other generation feels the need to rename it. To make it theirs. But changing the name doesn’t change the idea.

The concept of “positive thinking” was the last topic and the “Law of Attraction” is the newest. But the focus is still the same. What you think will happen, will happen. Your thoughts will manifest themselves into your reality. The words change, but not the meaning.

Focusing on negative things will cause these negative things to become reality. If your life and mind are filled with anger, hate and dissatisfaction, you will find yourself surrounded by those very same things. Learning to focus your thoughts on positive things, love, happiness and contentment will have the desired results and your life will be filled with these positive things.

Just wishing for the good things in life will not make them magically appear right before your eyes. It’s a learning process in which you teach yourself to change the way you think.

The average human mind tends to focus on the negative. Worrying about fears, whether real or imagined, consumes much of our thought process. It’s part of our survival instinct. Often this takes place on an unconscious level, and we don’t even notice these thoughts. The Law of Attraction is the way to change your thinking process. Regardless of its name, the result is the same: Improving your daily life through your thoughts.

According to the Law of Attraction, Like attracts Like.  For example, if you were to say “I need more money”, it would be assumed that it is your desire to always need more money. If you wish to change that pattern, and receive the abundance you are seeking, simply rephrasing the way you’re speaking about money will bring it to you. For example, “I am making more money”, or “there is an abundance of money coming my way at all times, I am at ease”.  Easy enough, right?  So identify your limiting beliefs, and behaviours, discard the ones that no longer serve you, adapt new empowering beliefs, and begin planning and manifesting the life you Truly want.

To channel the Law of Attraction, you must learn to control your thoughts. Negative thoughts produce an equal amount of energy as positive thoughts. So the question is: Would you rather have positive thoughts or negative thoughts bringing energy into your life? Constantly thinking about your fears and saying “I don’t want that” is probably going to result in your fears being realized. Close your eyes and think of your greatest fear. There is an emotional and mental reaction, and did you notice the physical reaction? Your heart sped up a little, your palms may have dampened, your body turned in a bit to defend itself. Think of the Energy you put out to the Universe when you thought of that fear just now. It was powerful! It was all consuming! If you’re constantly thinking of that fear, and sending out that energy, the Universe will assume you Want it, and will Give it to you.

Now, think of something you really want for yourself. Something Positive. There is an emotional and mental reaction, and did you feel the physical reaction? A smile may have graced your face, your heart may have skipped a beat (in a good way), and your body sat up straighter in a more confident way. It was powerful! It was all consuming! See how that works? So if you’re constantly thinking of something Positive, the Universe will give it to you. On the other hand, if you’re constantly thinking of something Negative, the Universe will give that to you instead. It’s all about the Law of Attraction!

The power of the mind is about more than just positive thinking. Once you recognise that it is the power of your thoughts and beliefs that create your reality, you will begin to pay close attention to the thoughts you are thinking.

“Success is not a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire” ~Arnold H.Glasow 

Manifesting the Life of your Dreams!

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
~Eleanor Roosevelt

Day dreaming is one of the most powerful tools one can use, and yet so few people utilize it. Day dreaming has been deemed a juvenile action, but have you ever noticed that some of the most beautiful, wonderful ideas you have stem from day dreaming? The truth is, in the quiet moments between all the chaos, when you’re wishing things could be better, you’re planting a seed for what could be. Manifesting is an incredible, but underutilized modality that could help you change your life.

So what do you want? Carl Jung said, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Who is in control of your life? Who is dictating what will happen in your future? Wouldn’t you like to take control of your life, your future? Start day dreaming about what you would like in your life, and you’ll have taken the first step to creating the life of your dreams.

The Law of Attraction specifies that like attracts like. In other words, positive energy attracts more positive energy and negative energy will attract more negative energy. So what would you like to bring into your life? Manifesting goes hand in hand with day dreaming. First you need to know what you want (day dreaming) and then you need to start manifesting (asking for) what it is you want.

Follow these steps when you’re manifesting your dreams and desires:

Step 1: Visualize exactly what you want for 5 minutes per day.  Let’s say you want to get that new job that you’ve been applying for. Imagine what you’ll look like behind that desk (or in the field, match it to your specifications), imagine how happy you’ll be with all your new co-workers; imagine driving to work every day with a smile on your face.  But why only 5 minutes? Because any longer and your mind may wander. Any shorter and you may not be fully creating your vision. Be clear about what you want, however, because Universal law states “You get what you ask for”.

If you don’t have a destination in mind, you are likely to stay exactly where we are. Use your imagination to create your dream job, balanced health, ideal lifestyle, fulfilling relationships, or whatever your heart desires. The next step is to ask yourself Why you want it. What will it do for you? How will you feel when you get it? What will it look and sound like when you get it? Spending five minutes each day imagining having your dreams and goals, and what it would look and feel like will help inspire you to move towards it, as well as start attracting it to you.

Step 2: Put yourself in the picture, with detail and emotion. Expect your desire will come true. Imagine you have what you desire now. By totally committing yourself to the idea that your desire will be delivered, you are telling the Universe that you want it, you deserve it, and you’ll be happy to receive it. Add all the details you can; color, scents, textures, emotions, etc. Make your day dream as realistic as possible. Feel the emotion of it, and you’ll be even closer to making your dreams come true.

Be open to your Desires. Feeling undeserving, guilty or not good enough will keep your goals from manifesting. If on the surface we feel great about having our desires, but we are harbouring any underlying doubt or limiting beliefs (blocks), we will find a way to sabotage our own best interests. Sit quietly and envision actually having what you want in your life and notice if any uncomfortable feelings or thoughts come up that say “no” to this. Release these blocks so that you can add momentum and power to your manifestations. If you do not release these blocks, they will prevent you from receiving what you truly want. Imagine releasing them right out of your space and see them drift away from you, never to touch you again.

One of the most important aspects of manifestation is maintaining a State of Abundance. Like attracts like so if you want more of anything in your life you need to be in a state of abundance. Feel grateful for all the wonderful things that you already have in your life, and remain optimistic about attracting more greatness into your life. If you focus on what’s missing or going wrong in your life, you’ll simply attract more of it, so use your imagination to inspire you into an uplifting mood in order to manifest all your goals and dreams.

Step 3: Focus on the End Result. This is very important. Don’t worry about how you get there, just imagine yourself there. You can’t possibly imagine all the ways that your goal might manifest, so don’t limit. Let the universe worry about the details. Planning action steps toward our goals is very important, but if we get fixated on them or on the final outcome we can actually get in the way of our own progress. Focusing too specifically on how something is supposed to occur creates tunnel vision and blocks the abundance of opportunities waiting on the outskirts. Practice being flexible and open to new ways of doing things and see how much more quickly and simply you achieve your goals.

Remember:

“If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you dream it, you can become it.”

“Creating the life of your Dreams!”

Life: As Is

Have you ever noticed how often you say “No?” The word “No”, is the 84th most Used word in the English language. Kinda makes you think, doesn’t it?!

Whenever you say “No” to life, you miss an opportunity. A opportunity to discover something new, to try something you haven’t tried before, to learn and grow, to find some aspect of yourself or others that you missed before.

Our life begins to change in magical ways when we open to the experience of life AS IT IS. With understanding and acceptance, we stop fighting what is happening all around us. This creates space, an opening for new relationships to unfold.

 Explore saying yes to the facts and inevitable paths of life. Accept your past and where you are now. Unconditional acceptance is unconditional love and this is healing. So try it out. Say “Yes” to something you would normally turn down. Try different food, different music, go to a gathering you’d rather avoid.

I recently tried a large sampling of interesting foods with my cousin, and while some of it was horrible, there were many things that I Loved. I would have missed out on wonderful foods, had I not tried it. Initially, I hesitated because I had never tried it before.  Then, I decided to accept life AS IS, with its imperfections and interesting flavors. I’m so glad I did.

Celebrating your Failures

 ‎”Good Judgement is the outcome of Experience, and Experience is the outcome of Bad Judgement”
~Vivian Fuchs

Have you ever made a mistake, or a bad judgement call? Did you consider it a failure? Mistakes are just as beneficial as successes, because you learn what Not to do, what you Don’t want, and what you need to do next.
Did you know that Thomas Edison experimented with 3,000 incandescent light bulbs before he found one that would burn properly? He estimated working on this prototype for 1,500 hours.
Not one of those prototypes was a failure, because it taught him what Not to do, and showed him what to do next.
Be proud, and celebrate your mistakes! Learn from them, and then move on.  Reliving your failures but not learning a lesson from them is just a waste of your potential.

Celebrating failure creates environments where people dare to try. If all you do is punish failure you will always choose the safe path. Anything of any worth is hard, and sometimes you’ll hit a few bumps but that’s OK! Keep your eye on the goal, and you’ll soar!

Ten Preconditions to Personal Development

I came across this article on a website today and thought it was really enlightening! I’m not a huge fan of #10 but the rest is pretty great :).  If you enjoy it as much as I did, leave your comments and tell me what you think!  

1.  Intellectual Curiosity

A passion to understand the changing forces swirling around you, an eagerness to learn them faster, and a recognition that learning is an unending journey.

2. Humility

A pervasive acknowledgement that no one can have all the answers. You must have a willingness to learn from others.

3. Self-Criticism

A logical extension of humility. A constant questioning of conventional wisdom and a keen awareness that success invariably sows the seeds of failure.

4. A High Tolerance for Ambiguity, Complexity and Change

Learning is experimental. Thrive on change; don’t allow yourself to be intimidated by its rough and unpolished exterior. Complexity and ambiguity are simply part of the 21st Century condition.

5. Experimentation

It is only by experimenting with new approaches, monitoring the results and incorporating the feedback into new initiatives that learning takes place.

6. A Hunger for Feedback

A genuine eagerness to reach out and get performance feedback from a variety of sources, and a willingness to listen to it and make changes.

7. Learning by Doing

Have a bias towards action. The use of real-world tests is a much more fertile source of learning than abstract speculation.

8. An Appreciation for Failure and Mistakes

Learning is more a product of failure than success will ever be. View experiments as desirable, mistakes as inevitable and failures as the raw protein necessary for success.

9. Systematic Methods of Data Collection and Distribution

Intellectual capital is rarely created and shared by accident. Conscious mechanisms must be put in place to, acquire, disseminate, and leverage knowledge.

10. Creative Self-Destruction

No advantage lasts forever. Render yourself obsolete before others do it for you. It’s the price world-class innovators gladly pay for staying ahead of the pack.
