I just could not connect to this material. This just really felt very surface level to me.

Starting this next on #cloudlibrary. 🎧 This is a recommendation from an awesome prior work colleague. I was just recently downsized due to supply chain issues.

Book 104🎧
Easy listen, filled with great information on how to let go and focus on your inner happiness💛

Now when I feel that first little prick in my stomach, I stop… and try to let it go🌬

Some parts focus on God/Christ specifically but there is valuable information religion aside, I think anyways!

There were parts of this that really clicked with me; I felt them and knew them. Then there were parts that felt like I was being told ‘if you only do this, life will be simple, it‘s not complicated‘ - in a repetitious format. A great read if you‘re looking for more awareness of how to not let things bother you etc. 👇

This book is amazing! I've had it on my shelf for a couple years and finally decided to read it! Loving it! What are some similar books you would recommend?

This was a demanding audio. I had to rewind a few times, for the solution to simplify Life needs attention and brain rewiring 🤯 I felt it was very self relevant, for as a Libra ♎️ I live upstairs in my head, with my swords, to often. I enjoyed the many examples. From mental/emotionnal mess, to awareness & consciousness, through “Who am I? & Who is it that is noticing this?” Really happy to have received his teachings 🧠💚 #SummerBookSpinBingo2020

“Shoot, I can‘t remember her name.“

“Why should anything that anyone says or does cause you to get disturbed? You‘re just on a planet spinning around the middle of absolutely nowhere.”

I liked this better than The Power of Now, and some chapters did really stick with me and get me thinking. But ultimately I had of the same challenges with it—it felt a bit preachy and didn‘t acknowledge things like mental illness and trauma that can make the “simple choice to be happy no matter what” more complicated. Plus it got very Christian in the last chapter, which is fine, but felt weird since the rest of the book was nondenominational.

Just getting started, but this one looks fun.

Thought of the day...

#Aprella #WeRise 💚

Such a powerful thought. #quote

Everybody should read that book because we are all trying to avoid pain. The practice of this book might seem difficult, but it truly resonates with me. If you spend a lot of time in your mind like myself, this book will give you a new perspective on how to deal with incessant thoughts. Instead of fighting with them.

PSA: "Your mind's thoughts are disturbed by it's fears"

"Wise beings do not want to remain a slave to the fear of pain [feelings of frustration, anger, fear, jealousy, insecurity, or embarrassment]. They permit the world to be what it is instead of being afraid of it. They wholeheartedly participate in life, but not for the purpose of using life to avoid themselves. If life does something that causes a disturbance inside of you, instead of pulling away, let it pass through you like the wind."

While eating my breakfast, one of the furkids walked through my power cord, and my laptop dropped to the hard floor from the kitchen table. Surprisingly, I was able to remain calm and not let my anger out on my pets thanks to what I have been practicing from this book. I was worried my computer would not turn on, but it did. I will use this opportunity to have it inspected and get all my files backed up in case anything happens in the future!

Every day we bear a burden...We fear that we are not good enough or that we will fail. We experience insecurity, anxiety, and self-consciousness. We fear that people will turn on us, take advantage of us, or stop loving us...as we try to succeed and express ourselves,...we carry...the fear of experiencing pain, anguish, or sorrow. Every day we are either feeling it, or we are protecting ourselves from feeling it. [This influences us to our core.]

Eventually you will want out, at any cost. You will then realize that life is actually trying to help you. Life is surrounding you with people and situations that stimulate growth...You only have to be willing to open your heart in the face of anything and everything, and permit the purification process to take place.

#TuneIntoNovember #SoldMySoul @Cinfhen @Robothugs A book that‘s been here awhile. I remember parts being very good. 💫

The first chapter was interesting and I think that‘s all that needs to be read from this book. It became redundant and boring throughout the rest.

I have been recommended this book, because I am at times in my own head a lot listening to the chatter of my brain... This book explains the how and why and gives some good advice on how to move beyond this and not waste your energy on it. I think that the message could have been more condensed in some areas, but overall it was good listening to it.

Wow just wow... reading this on the bus and frantically scribbling down quotes in my bujo, must look like a lunatic but oh well 😜

"How would you feel if someone outside really started talking to you the way your inner voice does? How would you relate to a person who opened their mouth to say everything your mental voice says? After a very short period of time, you would tell them to leave and never come back. But when your inner friend continuously speaks up, you don't ever tell it to leave. No matter how much trouble it causes, you listen."

This was my read a chapter first thing in the morning book. I particularly liked the section on experiencing energy- explained a lot for me.

There were some good concepts in here, but I didn't agree with all the theology. Definitely some things to ponder.

"It's safe to say that the only thing most people know for sure about enlightenment is that they are not there."

Only you can take inner freedom away from yourself, or give it to yourself. Nobody else can.

Comfy, cozy, rain-on-the-window reading in bed.

This is a must read for anyone that wants to take a more spiritual path to improving themselves. As the title suggests, the book is meant to strengthen your soul. While almost every self help book I've read has had amazing techniques, I was significantly more impacted by the teachings of this book.
