How to Remember Your Unique Soul Song on the Hard Days

Posted on July 29, 2019July 30, 2019 by Kathleen Flanagan

Today I want to talk about your Soul Song. We each have a specific Soul Song. We were created by God with a unique purpose.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a big or small purpose. Whether it’s on the scale of Bill Gates or you just give a smile to every person you meet and brighten their day.

Everyone’s purpose, their Soul Song, is equally important.

Sometimes we forget our Soul Songs. When you feel like you aren’t good enough, not deserving, you’ve made too many mistakes, nobody loves you. These are all signs that you have forgotten who you truly are.

The easiest […]

How To Build Self Confidence When You’re Feeling Hopeless

Posted on June 11, 2019June 21, 2019 by Kathleen Flanagan

I want to continue talking about how to build self confidence. Henry Ford once said, “If you think can or you think you can’t, you’re right.”

Developing our self confidence is our belief in ourselves. When you use “I am” statements that I discussed in last week’s blog post you’re inviting in that God-like vibration to come in and help you move in that direction.

We do have times that we are in fear, despair, things are coming at us from all directions and we just feel flattened and don’t know how to get back up. That is when you […]

A Simple Tool to Build Self-Confidence

Posted on June 3, 2019June 21, 2019 by Kathleen Flanagan

Today I want to give you a tip on how to build self-confidence. Really simple – “I am” statements.

I am a teacher. I am happy. I am abundant. I have loving relationships. Whatever it is, it will build confidence.

We go through life and there are times when we feel insecure, that we don’t have any value. Those are the times we need to step back into who we really are: grand, magnificent people.

When you have positive statements that are telling you who you are it is also telling the Universe who you are.

That will start the movement towards that reality even […]

Why You Need To Say Goodbye To Your Internal Judgement

Posted on March 11, 2019March 11, 2019 by Kathleen Flanagan

Today I want to talk about Internal Judgement. Did you know that when you are born you were operating at a genius capacity?

Studies have shown that 99.99% of kids born are operating at a genius capacity. The reason for that is that our learning curve is very steep. We are in a new world and we’re testing out our environment. We’re learning about our bodies, to speak, to walk, eye-hand coordination, how to interact with others. It’s a huge amount of information to learn and process.

Studies also went on to find that at 5 years of age only 20% of children were operating at […]

A Simple Practice to Keep Moving Toward Your Dreams

Posted on February 4, 2019February 4, 2019 by Kathleen Flanagan

Today I want to discuss the “Open Gate.” We all have them. What I’m referring to when I use the term “Open Gate” is the unique mission or purpose that we have for being here. The dream you are moving toward.

When we are moving in that direction we experience life as exciting and joyful. It feels like life couldn’t get any better. This is usually an indication that you are living in your dream. You are living with your Spirit and you’re connected with the Source.

When you are feeling constricted or overwhelmed that is usually an indication that you are allowing negativity to come in. This […]

How Kind Are You to Yourself on the Hard Days?

Posted on January 14, 2019January 14, 2019 by Kathleen Flanagan

Today I want to talk about how to have a winning day even when we’re in the trenches. We have work, family, all the day to day chores necessary to keep your life moving.

You might have elderly parents you’re taking care of or a sick child. Every one of us faces challenges big and small on a daily basis. We are living in the trenches.

Some days we wonder if we going to make it because of all the challenges that come up.

What I recommend to make life a little easier and feel like you are still winning is to be kind and […]

Why You Need To Create Sufficient Time For Fun In Your Life

Posted on January 7, 2019January 14, 2019 by Kathleen Flanagan

To start the new year right, I want to talk about something that we don’t place enough importance on – creating sufficient time for fun in your life.

It’s counter intuitive, but the most successful people in the world know the importance of building fun and relaxation into their schedule.

A tip I want to give you that can help you create this space is to take 30 minutes to write down five things that are fun for you. Then carve out 30 minutes in your schedule for the next 5 days to do those activities.

When you’re having fun the world seems […]

Lots of people do and it can be exhausting.

How to Quiet Your Mind

Posted on December 18, 2018December 18, 2018 by Kathleen Flanagan

I’d like to share a tip on how you can quiet your mind.

This tip is borrowed from “contemplative prayer” introduced by the Catholic Church many years ago.

When you want to quiet your mind, visualize that you’re on a rowboat in a peaceful, quiet, and tranquil place. You’re bobbing along in the rowboat. A thought comes up, instead of getting upset with yourself, change it to a fish. Observe the fish approaching the boat, and then swimming away.

The thought is there to distract you. The more fish you see, the more mind chatter you have!

This is how you’re supposed to handle […]
