How to Feel Blissfully Comfortable in Your Own Skin
By Lisa McCourt

Sounds nice, right? So what’s keeping you from it and why don’t you just claim it? The only thing standing between you and that kind of freedom and confidence is your inability to live authentically from your innermost core. Notice that I’m not telling you to be authentic because it will make you a better person, or because you owe it to the world or anything like that. I’m telling you to be more authentic because authenticity and self-love are your keys to the kingdom. Without them, nothing else can bring you joy. With them, nothing can fail to bring you joy.

How to Get Happy

How to Get Happy – Changing the Vibes

I feel down. Or at least I did last month. My energy wavered up and down for a few weeks. On the outside I don't think I appeared or acted any different. On the inside I want to sleep in more often or curl up with hot tea and a good movie, or a nice scotch and a new episode of “How I Met Your Mother.”

I hear others feeling blah and my metaphysical friends explain it as a vibrational and global energy shift.

When we are about to burst into a new way of being, such as starting a new job, reaching a new level of personal growth or overcoming a major personal obstacle, we go through an energy shift.

Initially this can be uncomfortable.

When we shift to a higher energy we get rid of old "stuff" like beliefs, memories or even relationships, to make way for the new. As we go through old stuff that no longer works, the gunk comes up.

Enjoy this special excerpt from Maureen's book, on harmony and peacemaking.

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

The feminine prefers to avoid conflict, since it compromises our ability to stay connected. We enjoy collaboration and joint participation in decision making . We tend to formulate requests as proposals rather than orders so as to avoid provoking confrontation. The world now needs, more than ever before, the economic stability, safety, and harmony that comes with the feminine's natural contribution to harmony and peacemaking. We have a personal responsibility in the area of harmony and peacemaking as the level of unrest and disharmony that we personally carry in our soul and our being directly relates to our ability to bring peace into the world.

Why harmony and peacemaking are needed in the world now.

The world holds enough unnecessary conflict today. Compromise and compassion lead to connection and peace. When we learn to think before we take action or react, we create a more thoughtful, meaningful response than otherwise. When we begin to consider issues without competition and status, we allow the space to explore fully, communicate, and develop the true outcome or best direction in which to proceed. When we encourage people to be involved and participate in discussions and decisions, we build increased agreement. Sometimes there can be a creative tension when we work to achieve what we want, for we value maintaining a given relationship. But those who have a developed sense of how to keep harmony and peace learn the skills to respect their own needs while they honor the needs of others.
