HAPPY AND BLESSED NEW YEAR

Just before 2016 clears the stage for the blessed New Year, I want to thank you all for making 2016 so meaningful and memorable for me. 

Wishing everyone a year of happiness and health, a year of prosperity and success, a new year of security and relaxation, a year of peace and tranquility.

May we have a year of positive change, a year full of joy and excitement in all that we do.

May we have the sense to focus on what's important to us and let go of what is no longer beneficial, may we have the ability to move forward in life more emboldened and confident.

May we live together in unity, cooperation and mutual respect.

May this year bring upon us the recognition of the value of love, may we have the sense and strength to give it wholeheartedly and unconditionally.

May we be full of excitement in anticipation to experience life from a place of curiosity and wonder. 

May we release bottled up negative feelings and be free to love, because that's what makes us feel whole, happiest, and most content.

May we have the courage to be who we are, may we concentrate in doing good, follow our heart and do what we love.

May we begin each day with smiles and joy.

May we walk together hand in hand in friendship and love. 

I wish a jovial, healthy, successful, abundant, victorious and blessed year ahead. 

Love ✨Blessings

Making Your Thoughts Become Reality

Long ago a righteous man, went to his rabbi seeking advice on how to rid himself of the constant bothersome thoughts he'd been having. Unfortunately the rabbi could not help, but suggested he see a different rabbi, who lives in a distant city. As time passed, he couldn't bear his affliction any longer, so the righteous man decided to take his rabbi's advice, in a quest to lessen his burden. After a long cumbersome journey, in freezing temperatures, the man finally arrived at the door step of the rabbi who he believed had the key to his salvation. He could see through the window some folks around a table, enjoying a delicious, hot soup. The righteous man was hungry, shivering and wet to the bone. He knocked at the door, but no one answered. He knocked again - no answer. He knocked several more times, until he finally gave up, curled into a ball and went to sleep at the doorstep. A few minutes passed and suddenly the door opened by an elderly man. The righteous man jumped up and said: why didn't you open the door to your house when I knocked? The frail old man said, this is to show you that when you are the master of your kingdom/home/body/soul, YOU decide who enters your home and who stays out. You came to me because you cannot seem to get rid of your "bothersome thoughts", yes? Yes. The man answered. Well, it's very simple, although I heard you knocking, I still chose not to answer the door. Similarly, you also do not have to allow any thoughts that don't bring you some kind of benefit to enter your mind, fester and cause nothing but havoc. Likewise, we decide who we welcome into our domain: we choose our thoughts. We have the ability, like no other animal on this earth, to imagine the feelings we wish to have, bringing them to life - that's our job as creators. A creator is someone who takes responsibility for his inner world - he is driven by his desire to resolve his internal conflict between good and evil. Much love Estee

HOW TO RETRAIN YOUR MIND

When was the last time you stopped and thought to yourself; Why do I think the way I think? Who's in control of my mind? 

Consider the notion that perhaps you are following a pattern of thought without properly examining its ramifications. 

Everything begins with a thought. It is the seed with which you choose to either flourish and grow or discard. 

When a thought comes to your mind, which does not serve or benefit you in any way, you DON'T have to keep it!  

You must become aware of your thought patterns and consciously CHOOSE what you want to keep or let go of. 

If you catch yourself mulling over the past, which you have no control over or if you notice you are contemplating the future which has not yet arrived, stop for a moment! 

You can CHOOSE to redirect your mind to enjoy the present moment without carrying on your shoulders the burden of the past or the bothersome worries about the future. 

Thoughts come and go. You cannot control each one that comes to your mind. However, you can train yourself to become aware, assume control and choose wisely what makes you feel good and what doesn't. 

The more aware you become the less stress you feel. Quieting the mind provides you with a sense of peace which allows you to become the master of your fate. 

I would love to know your thoughts on this topic. Please feel free to message me. 

Love & Blessings

Yours Estee 💟
