Life's Toolbox On Empower Radio

Last week, the United States of America celebrated its 242nd birthday. In this celebration we experienced what can be the foundation for healing the division we see in our country. We came together in unity to celebrate and show gratitude for the good that is found here. We can expand this healing in our country and our lives when we carry gratitude, love of our neighbors and the peace we experience as one people. Join us on this episode of Life's Tool Box as we journey to expanded healing in all our lives.

Our tool on this show, when practiced, will manifest the desires we hold within our hearts. Vision Love is a process where we can find Love, Peace, Compassion, Strength and any other desire within ourselves first, the world around us and it will allow us to be a beautiful expression of that desire out to everyone we meet. This tool will even assist us in manifesting the material things we wish to have in our reality. Join us on this episode as we Vision Love. Embrace the experience of your desires in each moment of your life.

The time has come that we Stand Up for goodness, light and love. And, we must do so in a way that encourages healing and unity instead of pain and division. We can no longer remain silent to the hateful and atrocious behaviors occurring in the world around us. We can no longer allow the love we desire in this world and our lives to take a back seat as we wait for other people’s hateful behaviors to subside. We must take our stand and not wait for someone else to take an action we hope leads to our desires. We must be the love and light this world needs and we must do it now. When we Stand Up, we can stand with love; we can stand for what we desire instead of in opposition of something we wish gone. As we Stand Up for goodness and love, we offer healing, we promote unity and we encourage positive change. Stand Up!

Are you allowing your beautiful individuality to shine in all you do? Do you stay true to you even though many of those around you are striving to be like each other?

Join us today as we open awareness to the beauty available to each of us when we honor and embrace the uniqueness of ourselves and others. In this embrace, we enlighten our experience of life and realize the gifts each individual brings to this world. Embracing unique silences judgment and comparison while opening us to truth and possibility.

Are you taking care of you and practicing extreme self-care? Are the things you do for you nurturing you on all levels or are you doing things that occupy your time? Do you nurture yourself on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels? On today’s show, we are talking about creating flow in your life by nurturing all aspects of you. Join us on this episode as we talk about nurturing our entire self; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. When we mindfully nurture our whole self we create clarity, health, peace and love for ourselves and the life we live. It is in nurturing ourselves that we create flow in our lives. When all aspects of ourselves harmonize, we open awareness of our authentic selves and can then authentically experience and express truth and love.

Giving 100% is not reserved for the sports venues, it is for all of life. Giving 100% has is not about giving all you have until you are totally spent. Giving one hundred percent includes standing up for what you believe, your values and morals. Giving one hundred percent includes expressing your feelings and communicating your views. Giving one hundred percent is about you being the best you that you can be throughout life and within your relationships. And part of that is giving the other person the gift of seeing you at your strongest and your weakest. It is about expressing your authenticity each and every day. 100% incorporates balance of our efforts and our experiences. In giving 100% we express and receive from our authenticity. Join us on this episode as we talk about Giving Your 100%; the benefits and the gifts.

Do you sometimes find that your thoughts derail or delay a project you have been working on? Do you start one thing and find yourself doing something else and not really know how the switch occurred? Have you ever begun your day with intentions of having a peaceful day, where everything flows beautifully, only to find chaos and stress taking over? We are talking today about focus and the distractions that pull us away from the important things in our lives. Not all distractions are of a negative nature, some are actually fun, and all prevent us from staying fully present with our intentions. Join us and learn how distractions derail us and how to remain focused on the important things.

Have harsh words or actions from others or yourself caused you pain? Are you carrying that pain with you today? Even when we do not feel the intensity of the pain, it can still prevent us from living fully, moving forward and expressing love into the entirety of our lives. On this episode of Life’s Tool Box, we embrace forgiveness. When we forgive, we free ourselves to live and we remove the burdens required to hold onto the pain. Forgive others and yourself; heal and be free.

Have you built walls in hopes of creating protection from pain and suffering? Are the walls actually keeping you safe? Do they protect you or are they hindering your experience of life? What if these walls that seem to be protecting you are actually preventing you from fully experiencing in life? What are you cheating yourself out of by hiding behind them? On this episode of Life’s Tool Box, we are considering all these questions and discovering how to remove the walls and live. The safety and comfort we desire comes from within and not the walls we build. Our authentic truth, our strength, our trust in self, allow us to see that all is well. Hiding behind walls to keep safe from our fears, imprisons us and hinders the full experience of life. Remove the walls and expand your living.

Do you ever make stuff up about what is happening in your life and assume it is the truth? Do you ever make stuff up about what is said to you? How about the actions someone else takes that may or may not involve you, do you make stuff up about the intentions behind the actions? What about the thoughts in your head; do you make stuff up and create beliefs about those thoughts? We all make stuff up and it is not until we open awareness of this practice in our daily lives that we can see beyond the fabrications in our mind and seek truth. Join us on this episode of Life’s tool Box as we take a look at how we make stuff up, what it does to us and how we can transform this practice into one that serves highest good for ourselves and the people and situations in our life.

Have you ever experienced a miracle? Have you ever been in a seemingly hopeless situation and wished for a miracle to help you through or take it all away? How many times have you wished for a miracle to sweep in and take the pain of a situation away? Have you ever prayed for a miracle and felt you did not receive an answer? Obviously we have all experienced the miracle of birth; what we are talking about on this episode of Life’s Tool Box is creating your own miracles. You are empowered to do that and you can create miracles in every area of your life. We are talking today about the definition of miracles, how to create them and how to make them a part of every moment of your day.

Spring has arrived and along with it comes many activities we want to add to our already busy schedules. The warmer temperatures invite us to get our into the garden, tend to our lawns or tackle that deep spring cleaning. We get back on our bikes, take walks or runs. We clean up the boats and get ready for the lakes or head out to watch our children’s sporting events. Even though we enjoy many of these things, overwhelm threatens to step in with the addition of each new activity. On this episode of Life’s Tool Box, we are talking about overwhelm; what it is, what it does to us and how we can overcome it and live a mindful life. Move from overwhelm to peace and elevate your enjoyment of life.

We see posts on Social media about a divided country. There are pictures that have the democrat symbol on one side of the page and the republican symbol on the other and a large gap in between. Everywhere we look we see division and one side pitted against the other. Are you ready to experience unity again? Are you ready to dissolve this division, to heal and turn instead to a peaceful unity? On this episode we take a look at how the division we see on the national and global scale is a distraction from the healing that can truly occur. We discuss how we can heal the world and experience unity by healing ourselves first, our relationships second and then our world. You do have the power to heal and together we can close the gaps that divide us.

Are you aware of how present blame is in your life? Are you on the receiving end of blame? If so, do you counter with blame to the sender? How strong is your blame behavior and how does it affect your life? On this episode of Life’s Tool Box, we look at blame, how it limits our experience of life, and how it throws us into victim mode. Even when we have no control over some life situations, we have full control over our response to the situations in our life. Falling into the blame game serves only to add more darkness into the situation and moves us further from resolution. Claiming responsibility for our response and whatever part we played in the situation empowers us to find the answers that heal and serve our highest good. Explore how blame is limiting you and open your awareness to ways you can re-claim your power.

If there was a practice that could radically change your life for the better would you commit to it? What if I told you it must be the first thing you do each morning, even before getting out of bed, would you still do it? What if I told you it took only five minutes? Would this be something you would wholly commit to and make a part of your morning ritual? On this episode of Life’s Tool Box, we are talking about the thoughts-beliefs-reality process that happens in each moment of each day. We are taking a look at our thoughts and how shifting them gives us a platform to experience the life of our desires. Join us and learn how the first five minutes of your day can positively shape your entire life.
