Do you often find yourself allowing the emotions of other people to affect you?

This one is a real energy sucker...a person cuts in front of you in traffic. Instead of enjoying your drive time music, you suddenly find yourself using words your kids would love to blackmail you with. When someone does something "to upset you", try this simple trick. Say this to yourself, "That's an interesting point of view...and it has nothing to do with me!"
Often, what the other person did or didn't do has to do with their own background or experience and nothing to do with you. Your reaction to them can be the difference between your joy and getting into the muck with them. Let go of the idea that you have to fix the behaviour of others or to either agree or disagree with them. With practice, you'll find a real freedom using this technique.

Does your body wish you'd ask it questions???

Believe it or not, the answer is YES! Try this simple experiment (even if you feel sort of silly doing it). I learned this from Dr Dain Heer.

The next time you go to the kitchen for a drink or snack...put your toes and ankles together and hold whatever you've chosen about a foot in front of you at the level of your solar plexus. Now ask our body if it wants it! Your body will sway forward for yes, backward for no! Ok, yeah, it sounds funny but it really works. Take time to practice this and you will be amazed that your body really does know what's best for it!
