Why do we do fall for such promises? The inner child believes in magical fantasy and instant miracles. And as long as we indulge in this fantasy, we may spend our time and energy looking for easy solutions, believing that all our problems will be solved if we could just find that magical person, situation or cure. This approach looks for getting what we want without having to do anything.
If you have been looking for that magic fix to the problems of your life, perhaps it is time to ask yourself how this approach to life has worked for you. Perhaps it is time to make different choices? To see how that works, let's look at the world of energy.
Quantum physics has shown how everything in the universe consists of energy. This energy works a lot like electricity. It is always there, yet we control access to it by flipping the switch on or off. And we flip the switch through the choices we make.
When we make a choice to do something – anything! - our intention sends out a specific energy pattern that draws to us similar frequencies in the form of resonant situations or opportunities. If we do not like the results we are getting in life, perhaps it is time to make different choices.
To make better choices, we need to choose from our inner adult. The inner adult is that part within that allows us to take an honest look at where we are, to take responsibility for ourselves and be willing to do what is required for different outcomes. At an energy level, choosing from our inner adult enables us to align with more optimal energy fields.
Any habitual response to life that doesn't nourish your life force energy, is a choice that will deplete your energy field. Over time, it causes blockages in the energy flow of the etheric body, which carries the blueprint for the physical body. Once this happens, the imbalance becomes reflected in your physical body. Your knee may go out, your sleep patterns may become disrupted, or your muscles hurt.
When this happens, the inner child often wants a magic cure or quick fix without taking responsibility for the mess we find ourselves in. When we align with the inner adult, on the other hand, we will find within us the willingness to review our choices that led to the disturbance. By clearing the hidden beliefs and fears that led to the choices we have made, we can choose differently. And when we make different choices, the outcomes also change.
No matter where we are in life, the journey to greater well-being can start from where we are by being willing to do something about it. It is the critical first step toward feeling better and living better.
In all my years of working with people, I found this willingness to be the most important ingredient for positive change. It fosters a strong partnership between the client and professional so they can work together toward optimal outcomes.
As they tell me their story, I ever so gently remind them they've already taken a big first step; they've admitted their life isn't working. Somewhere, deep in their soul, they found the courage to look at their life square in the eye and declare enough's enough and admit it's time to start living the life they really want to live.
To create and live the life you really want is 100% possible. But you have to put first things first. Admitting your life isn't working is a good first step. However, once that's done, it's not always necessary, or even helpful to figure "why" it's not working. Instead, relief can be found sooner than later by simply shifting the focus of your thoughts to what you do want, rather than what you don't want.
You can begin the process of shifting your thoughts from thoughts that make you feel weak and powerless to thoughts that make you feel strong and powerful by asking life-empowering, yet basic questions like, "What does a "Life On Track" mean to me?"
The following 15 questions will get you in touch with what you want for your life. Take your time and have fun answering these questions.
1. What feels great in my life today - what am I really enjoying?
2. What do I do over and over again that gives me a sense of peace?
3. How do I like to have fun/What gives me the most enjoyment?
4. What brings me alive? What makes me feel good?
5. What am I often complimented on?

Your answers to the first 5 questions reflect what you want MORE OF in your life.

Simply doing MORE OF what you love and LESS OF what you don't love is a good start to getting your life back on track. Have a VISION for your life and you'll give yourself the opportunity to actively bring to life that vision each moment of the day through the choices you make.
If you decide to answer the 15 questions in this article (or even some of them) you'll be well on your way to feeling better and living the life you want. Don't stop now! If you feel overwhelmed with your answers because there seems to be SO MUCH to do because you're off track right now, don't worry. It's normal to feel that way. Don't let your overwhelm stop you - pick one thing off your list and do it! Then in a week, or a month, pick something else and do that. Take it one step at a time. Ask for help if you need it. But mostly let your heart guide your choices. You'll be fine!
