WELCOME! This is Seeing Differently!

 “Susan, the wonderful work you are doing encourages us to do more to promote this awesome task of bringing peace and healing to many individual lives, families and entire nation.  You’re doing an amazing job for many decades with this awesome organization and keep it up Mrs. Susan!!!”
— David Owusu; AH in Kumasi-Ghana, Western Africa  2018

“Love your positive energy.  Looking forward to following.  You have so much wisdom to share.”   — Lois Hancock, Former R.N. at University of Michigan         

Do you get annoyed by some people and sometimes, everything? 
In Attitudinal Healing (AH), and many other “Truths”, we learn to understand that once we get on the other side of irritation / fear, miraculous incidences can occur, and limiting beliefs and blocks to love can fade while emotional symptoms are diminished and often disappear.

Then peace can enter your being no matter what is going on around you…no matter what you are doing or who you are interacting with.

Here’s to all of us raising our consciousness for kinder, more peaceful relationships and a more wholesome, awesome world.

What will I Learn, over time, from this Awesome Attitudes 2 D-Stress Blog?

• Recognize harmful patterns of thoughts, attitudes and behaviors and negative reactions to people and circumstances in daily life and how to see them differently.
• You can release stress that causes suffering from hanging on to old thought patterns and habits and make room for joy and freedom from stress and fear.
• What you think about expands in your life…your thoughts create your experience.
• How you can change your mind, change your attitudes, change your stress, and change your life to choose peace over conflict and love over fear.

Love is the Answer…

 My Purpose and Messages

Welcome to this Awesome Attitudes Peace Blog.  It is no accident that you are here.  It is great to have you, just the way you are.  You are beginning this New Year of 2018, filled with unlimited potential and possibilities.  I want to encourage you and give you new hope to live a happier, less stressed way of living.  This is a new day in your life.  STARTING JANUARY 2018.

Are you stressed…like this kitty cat?  Do you feel frustrated, angry, sad, or more?  Thank you for joining me on this marvelous journey to create a community where every person can develop Inner Peace by reducing stress via Love based Attitudes at all ages.  When you KNOW how to make choices to enhance your life and live with a change in attitudes from a fear base to a love base you live in more freedom and inner peace…and a state of consciousness that allows for connection and so much more, and to live with less stress.  Our purpose really is to live in love, inner peace and oneness.

This Awesome Attitudes Blog for Peace will initially be using the Miraculous 12 Principles of Attitudinal Healing based on mental health / psychological and spiritual ideologies …PLUS much more from many wise truth-seekers and Masters, Collective Consciousness…so every person can expand Inner Peace and reduce stress via these Love based Principles.  I have learned from many: Johnathan Livingston Seagull, Buddha, Gandhi…Dr. David Hawkins, Dr. Gerald Jampolsky…up to Oprah, Deepak Chopra, and my “main man” Jesus, as well as family and friends, and many more during my whole life and especially the last 30 years with my intention for more openness and expansion in my thinking. 

“Our only goal is Inner Peace.”, Dr. Gerald Jampolsky / Founder of Attitudinal Healing

What is Attitudinal Healing?

I have volunteered for the Metro Detroit Center for Attitudinal Healing (one of many Centers around the world) for about 25 years and have been the Executive Director for the past few years.  We recently “closed our doors” here and I just “know” I have to continue to write about these principles and like-wise philosophies…it is my purpose, now…so here I am!  (Learn more in About Me.)  

Attitudinal Healing is a cross-cultural method of healing that helps remove self-imposed blocks such as judgment, blame, shame and self-condemnation that are in the way of experiencing lasting love, peace, and happiness. It is based on the belief that it is not people or experiences outside of ourselves that cause us to be upset. Rather, it is our thoughts, attitudes, and judgments about them (out influences) that cause us distress.

Health is defined as inner peace and healing as the letting go of fear. These are guiding principles in this groundbreaking work in personal, collective, and global transformation.

The approach and philosophy is based on universal principles and forgiveness. People of all ages, beliefs, walks of life, and cultures benefit from the practice of Attitudinal Healing.  From www.ahinternational.org.

The 12 Principles of AH benefit people because they help to expand our perspectives beyond normal consciousness and thinking into a more positive way on how to respond to others and life situations.  We learn that we can make the choice to enjoy a more peaceful, worry-free and loving life.  See the 12 AH Principles at: http://www.ahinternational.org/images/stories/content/downloads/the_principles_attitudinal_healing_english.pdf

The Power of SUMMERTIME MEMORIES!

LIFE IS SHORT!

As my longtime partner, Gordon, had brain surgery in May, we decided LIFE IS SHORT and perhaps we could look at our Bucket Lists…and quickly realized we both have wanted an RV (recreational vehicle) / Motor Home…so we “revised how we wanted to use our $” and bought a used RV!  Instead of going on a dream Hawaiian vacation, the RV is our Hawaiian Chateau!  Have a look at how we go “Glamping”:

   OUR HAWAIIAN CHATEAU!

  

So you see why I have not been writing on my blog in a while.  We have only traveled close by the area within an hour or two, enjoying and smiling all the while on our short  trips.  

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS OF MY SUMMER!

And, as I have written before (Aug. 2018, In my Backyard) I am busy in the summertime raising butterflies and THIS YEAR I had 20+ Monarchs with an occasional Black Swallowtail that would come to visit.  This keeps me busy “spying” on them as the caterpillars grow and turn into butterflies.  Birds and bees visit, too.

  

 

AND a real JOY of LIFE is time with darling Grandchildren when we had a family gathering:

Gordon’s new grandson and great granddaughter

     

They keep us SMILING and light up our hearts!

 

 

NOW is the only time there is and each moment is for giving…(and wearing flip-flops when you can!)

 

Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.   –Mother Teresa

In the summer of 2018 I started “raising” caterpillars and Butterflies in my backyard (see “Backyard” Blog) and so I learned about the *BUTTERFLY EFFECT: The idea that one butterfly could eventually have a far-reaching ripple effect; the idea that small causes may have large effects in general.

I want my Blog and any place I am, to be a place where I try my best to bring peace, love and smiles; where I have my little positive influence on any person’s attitude and that the world will be a better place.  I used to think if I could help just one person, that would be wonderful. Through these past 25+ years I have been in the presence of so many amazing people to give and receive from.  I am humbled, honored and grateful.

The Power of a DANDELION!

The POWER of a SMILE Series

The Power of a DANDELION!

PERSPECTIVE

DANDELION

Some see a Weed: 

                      Some see a Wish:  

                                                Some see a Flower:                                    What do YOU see in a dandelion?
Do you remember making a wish or gathering a bouquet of flowers?

CATERPILLAR

Some see a crawling insect:    

Some see the beginning of a butterfly  
…who pollinates the world’s food supply. 

What is Your Perspective?

Change your Mind, Change your Life.
To See Differently.  — Attitudinal Healing

We can see so much of life differently from what we were taught or have seen.  Below, listen to just a minute of what Jerry and Diane (founders of Attitudinal Healing) have to say:

Fear, Change and LOVE

We have the choice of how we want to see the world.  The good news is that we can learn to let go of our negative perceptions / perspectives and choose to see our lives, people, situations from a fear base to a love base.  In our culture we look at changing / shifting our perspective as “wishy-washy”, as a weakness.  Change can be so challenging for most of us…yet it really is a powerful strength!  To change one’s  perspective of an “Ex” relationship, painful disease, or disrespectful person, for examples, from hurt and anger to acceptance and forgiveness is a huge step…it’s a MIRACLE;  FROM FEAR TO LOVE*.

In this Awesome Attitude blog we are studying a discipline that helps us move from fear to hope / love.  This is a good thing.  It helps us see the positive in all things.  I support you and acknowledge you for you are studying something that helps to keep you happier, smiling, probably healthier and makes you less stressful.

           FEAR     –       (change perception to)     –   LOVE / HOPE       =       MIRACLE

To Do

Here is a very short list of FEAR Base and LOVE Base.  Making the CHOICE between which list is the way we want to live is what we need to do!  Do you think that any annoyance gives you the right to act out?  It takes courage to let go of that perceived right.  Even if you have been taught, or the Fear base has been your habit, at any point in life you can CHOOSE to SEE Situations DIFFERENTLY and live a life with more peace of mind…which we all really want.  We are looking for something to give us more inner peace…even if we are not at the level of totally choosing the Love Base yet.

*FEAR Base                            LOVE Base

• Anger                                    > Kindness
• Disrespect                            >Respect
• Separation / Alone              >Unity / Community
• Conflict                                  >Harmony
• Criticism                                >Acceptance
• Weeds                                    >Flowers
• Frowns                                  >Smiles

The first step is to be aware of which base your Attitude and actions are in.
The second step is to have the intention to choose to change.
The third step is to pay attention and choose the LOVE base action as often as you can, over and over again until you peel back the layers of fear to the “natural” you, remembering who you really are!

I think it takes courage for us to face our challenges as spiritual people and to shift our perceptions.  I think it takes great courage for us to let go of our grievances and choose differently; to choose LOVE!

THINK LOVE  →  FEEL LOVE  →  ACT LOVE

Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. 
–Mother Teresa

THE POWER OF CHOOSING LOVE

The POWER of a SMILE Series

12 Months of Power Thoughts
Inspiration ~ Kindness ~ Connection ~ LOVE

THE POWER OF CHOOSING LOVE

WE DESERVE LOVE

When you think of love, do you believe you deserve it?  I think a challenge is that some people close themselves off from giving or receiving love.  They have been conditioned by someone or something else that they cannot live the bright light of a loving life…that is NOT the truth.  In that case, they are told “lies” and this blog is here to help change that. 

Conditional love is NOT real love…when someone says or acts like love depends on how you are.  Unconditional love is without expectations and is not dependent on anything; any situation or action.  Now, this is not always easy to do, but it can be one’s goal…and keep being mindful of it; forgive ourselves as we fall short and do better next time.  If someone is conditional with their love and does not have the intention of trying to live an unconditional life, then perhaps it is time to end that relationship in order to live your best life full of love. *

You are a unique and amazing person and there is no one like you.  So, choose love for yourself…just believe it and see how your life opens up to more bliss, less fear and more peace.  Choose to thrive and live with support for your greatest good and highest healing.  Live your dreams and your passion…the richness of LOVE!

I am loved, I am loving, I am lovable.  This is grounded in truth!

 

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” ― Gautama Buddha

IN THE BEGINNING

Here are more thoughtful words and sage wisdom from Grand, Spiritual Masters throughout ages.  Love has been the major topic for centuries; the basis of our existence…and LOVE NEVER ENDS!

You have always been full of love and always will be.

Love never fails….  When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things….  And now abides faith, hope, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE.
―  1 Corinthians 13; Bible

 

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.― Sophocles

Where there is love there is life. ― Mahatma Gandhi

 

Now let a new perception come to me.
Father, there is a vision which beholds all things as sinless, so that fear has gone, and where it was is love invited in. And love will come wherever it is asked. ― ACIM L#313

Enjoy yourself, spend time with your family and friends and do the things you love. When you’ve fallen in love with what makes you unique and wonderful, then you’ll be truly ready to receive more of what you’re feeling. 

LOVE RELATIONSHIPS

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don’t, they never were. ― Kahlil Gibran 

I have used this thought above, numerous times in my life when I have “lost at Love”.  And I came to believe that if the “love” relationship is to be, then I cannot ‘make it happen’ by changing someone else or myself…unless I want to become more loving. 

*It is important to keep one’s values and not give in to unhealthy, unequal, inadequate, conditional and controlling relationships.  They are not really loving…and that is what we all want and deserve…in ANY relationship.

ONE DAY AT A TIME

I start each day with prayer and meditation and opening up my energetic field to love, faith and continued hope.  This begins my intention for the day; each day.  To live in the present moment of the day which is when we CHOOSE our thoughts and actions…to choose love. 

I have found each day can be challenging within myself, with others, and about our country and our world.  When I hear, “What can I do? or There is nothing I can do?”  I believe lifting up our spiritual energy to expand our loving hearts has an amazing effect on all of our lives.  You never know who you impact.

Our egos tell us to be afraid and control situations and people, but the spirit of love whispers in our heart to love and give more…and open to receive.  If each of us lived Choosing LOVE as your daily intention, what a wonderful world this would be. 

Make LOVE your passion each day!

Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. 
–Mother Teresa

 THE POWER OF LOVE

Please start your day with a jolt of coffee and a Jolt of Love to continue all day, every day:

“To bring real peace in the world, teach people how to win with the power of love.”

Happy New Year!  To start the year, I am inviting you to select “Your Power Word(s)” of the week, the month, or the year to inspire and motivate you personally, as you look at your beautiful smile in the mirror each day.  This may help you to get beyond any of your limiting beliefs of not fulfilling your prosperous, happy, awesome life you deserve!

Take time to be divinely guided.

Here are a few suggestions to begin to stir your mind:

• Bliss, Bliss, Blissful!
• LOVE; I am Love, I am loving, I am loveable.
• Inner Peace; I have the Peace of God.
• Whole and Healthy
• The Will of God guides me.
• Awesome Creativity
• Forgiveness
• Faith
• Rejuvenated Attitude
• I am Beautiful
• Unity
• Thankyou / Gratitude
• Loyalty
• Courage
• More….

What is MY word, you might ask?  I really like Bliss, Bliss, Blissful!  That to me covers it all.  Although in my prayer or meditation time, or during some of my daily activities, I may use any of the above words!!!

Q. What is YOUR WORD? Please EMAIL me at sthiem08@att.net. *

WHAT IS THE POWER IN A WORD? 

Some say, “Your Word is your Bond.”  Florence Scovel Shinn says, “Your Word is Your Wand, so man has power to change an unhappy condition by waving over it the wand of his word.”

“Man’s word is his wand filled with magic and power! ~  Florence S. Shinn

In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.  ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Jesus Christ emphasized the power of the word; “By thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned,” and “death and life are in the power of the tongue.”  And “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set your free.”

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” ~ Jesus Christ

Fear, doubt, anxiety, anger, resentment pull down the cells of the body, shock the nervous system and are the causes of disease and disaster.  Our thoughts and our words matter in our lives!

WORDS, THOUGHT, PERSPECTIVE

A woman at sea awoke in the morning and heard the fog horns blowing.  A dense fog had settled on the ocean with no apparent signs of clearing.  She immediately spoke the word, “There are no fogs in Divine Mind, so let the fog be lifted!”  I give thanks for the sun! (By Florence S Shinn).

What we think, we become.  All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts, we make the world.  – The Buddha

Many people have been “brainwashed” by untrue words that became untrue thoughts, such as “You are not smart, or beautiful, or talented or you are a dummy; you will never make anything of yourself” or worse.  These statements then live in the mind and can make one’s life unfulfilled, fear based and unhappy.  This person can be very hard on themselves if they continue to believe these limiting falsehoods.

It is a never-ending journey to shape our lives into the positive, uplifting, smiling, brilliant person we really are.  We can begin with reframing the WORDS we use about ourselves and our life and our world.  We can do it with loving support and continual reminders…I use stickee notes with my words on them around my home.  And choose your friends and relationships wisely to support your growing, uplifting journey.

LOVE is the ANSWER no matter the question!

SMILE and let your Awesome Attitude Shine!
Change your attitude, your stress and your life to light up the world! 

 About the Author:

In the summer of 2018 I started “raising” caterpillars and Butterflies in my backyard (see “Backyard” Blog) and so I learned about the *BUTTERFLY EFFECT: The idea that one butterfly could eventually have a far-reaching ripple effect; the idea that small causes may have large effects in general.

I want my Blog and any place I am, to be a place where I try my best to bring peace, love and smiles; where I have my little positive influence on any person’s attitude and that the world will be a better place.  I used to think if I could help just one person, that would be wonderful. Through these past 25+ years I have been in the presence of so many amazing people to give and receive from.  I am humbled, honored and grateful.

INTRO TO A SMILE – 2019

Happy New Year!
I have an Awesome Surprise for you this Year…
More and more SMILES!

Introducing:

The Power of a SMILE Series…
12 months of Power Thoughts

Inspiration – Kindness – Connection – LOVE

What is the Power in a SMILE?

How do you feel when YOU genuinely smile?

How do you feel when someone genuinely smiles at you?  Did you smile or giggle at the cat and dog smiling?  And their sense of friendship and unity!?

This coming year I want to focus on how SMILES affect our lives and many different situations and how our attitudes effect our ability to SMILE.  First of all, I found some interesting information about SMILES!  (At least I think this is interesting!)

WHAT IS A SMILE?

According to an online Dictionary:  noun; a pleased, kind, or amused facial expression.  And the smile is the “the symbol that was rated with the highest positive emotional content” concludes scientist Andrew Newberg, an American neuroscientist. 

 

A smile is formed primarily by flexing the muscles at the sides of the mouth. It is believed it takes about 42 muscles to smile….42!  Who knew?  Some smiles include a contraction of the muscles at the corner of the eyes, an action known as a “Duchenne Smile“.  Wikipedia

Whenever the mouth muscle only is activated and not the eye wrinkles, it’s not actually a genuine smile. Scientists call this the “social” smile.  Like, when someone is in on a parade float for a long time and has to smile all the while.  Or when someone smiles but really is not happy about the situation. 

Can you tell the difference, at times, when one is really happily smiling and when one is “socially” smiling?  Take some time this next week to pay attention to smiles.

THE SCIENCE OF SMILING

What happens to our brain when we smile?

“Smiling stimulates our brain’s reward mechanisms in a way that even chocolate, a well-regarded pleasure-inducer, cannot match.”

Smiling stimulates the pleasure center of our brain, greatly!

A smile can brighten up someone’s day, maybe a person is facing certain challenges in their lives, and your smile could be the sunshine that they did not know they were looking for.  I was taking a walk lately, on a beautiful day, and a lady was walking toward me, looking down with a frown on her face and I said something to her, smiling, like, “Hello, beautiful day!”  She looked up and gave a ‘half’ smile.  I hope I helped her day. 

“We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.”  
— Mother Teresa *

Smiles:

• Inspire connection
• Show LOVE
• Give comfort
• Express kindness
• Create more smiles
• Support our positive attitudes
• (I wonder…) create a higher energetic level?

Everyone in the world relates to a smile…they immediately know what it means.

Questions:

1. Who do you know that has an AWESOME smile? 
2. What else do smiles do?
3. What have you noticed about smiles?

Can You See People Differently (during the Holidays)?

We can always perceive ourselves and others as either 
Extending Love or Giving a Call for Help.

Attitudinal Healing Principle #12

NOTE: Please stay tuned for a NEW SERIES of Blog Posts starting in 2019
…that will help you to SMILE more!

To See People Differently.

As we end this year and our review of the 12 Attitudinal Healing Principles we are now to look at our relationships.  Do you have any relationships, especially during this Holiday time, that you feel stressed with?  So many people do in their families, with friends, or at work.

Do you see any of your relationships here?!

When I first became acquainted with Attitudinal Healing, I thought this concept / principle was the most profound.  And I still find it to be one I think of very often…well, every day as I encounter situations in my fear base.  In every situation or relationship, we are either extending love or giving a call for help.  The practice of this principle brings meaning and purpose to every human encounter and every human circumstance.  This principle does require the integration of all the other 11 principles; accepting the healing power of love, giving and receiving, living in the NOW moment; forgiveness, focusing on love, with the intention of inner peace as our only goal.

DO ALL THINGS WITH LOVE.
INNER PEACE IS OUR ONLY GOAL.

Extending Love

 In the previous 11 principles, we have talked a lot about feeling the essence of our being and extending love to our self and others.  And that love is the greatest healing force in the world.  We have been called to remember when we have felt a deep love for others and when we have felt that from others in our life.  Simply, the extending of love is through kindness, understanding, patience, etc., and feeling our inner light and spirituality.  It is a state of non-Judgment (there’s that “J” word again!).  When we are in the state of love, which is a pure state, then we can find inner peace…that passes all understanding.  It is simply felt and enjoyed.  We all want to feel that feeling and I find that I don’t want to “leave that feeling” when I “find it”.  I find it in the love of family and friends and in prayer / meditation with connection to God, and every time I send loving thoughts.  I’d just like to stay there…wouldn’t you?  How can we feel that love?  At any point in time, we can “give ourselves a hug” through a positive affirmation for safety and love.  (See affirmations below.)

Call for Help – Healing our Wounds

 Whenever we are NOT in that position of extending love, we are in a FEAR state.  Whether it is about ourselves or another person, it is the same.  It is a call for help because it can be so hard to get back to the state of love we all so long for.  We have all been wounded during our lives which has taken us away from our original essence of love, of feeling safe, so the call for help is a call for love and healing of our past wounds.

It is through inner guidance that we learn how to respond to a call for help.  The call for help has become a natural reaction in our human fear base, and we act it out in ways that are not loving and connecting.  Then the other person’s reaction to that is from their fear base…and back and forth…which is the state of conflict.  Calls for help come in many forms, such as anger, frustration, impatience, blame, guilt, judgment, etc.

A very important concept is that we are not seen as a victim or victimizer, but as wounded and calling for help to heal.

FEAR (wounded)   ↔   FEAR (wounded)  =  CONFLICT
=  A call for HELP / LOVE!

So, we need to look beyond the appearance of the “fear forms” to the truth that it is a call for love.  As we notice another person’s call for help, it is a reminder to ourselves that we, too, call for help when we are in our fear state.  This principle is not about changing the behavior of another person, but about changing ourselves and how we view that person’s behavior and our own thoughts and actions.

It is only through seeing ourselves and other people differently, as wounded humans, then extending love to ourselves and others that our wounds can be healed and have more Inner Peace.

     

All 12 Principles

Through all the 12 principles we’ve learned to have peace of mind (and less stress) when we choose to see ourselves and others differently through the eyes of LOVE!  To really have peace in our lives, we must share LOVE!

Love is Letting go of Fear. — Dr. G. Jampolsky
Peace begins with YOU and ME.

Affirmations for daily use:

“I open my self to accept love.  I feel love today. I give love today.”

“I am full of love.  I feel joy.  I am at peace.”

“I am whole, safe, and complete.  I am LOVE.” 

 

No matter the question…Love is THE Answer…moment by moment!
