Break the Cycle of Stress
Dear Friends,

 

The new year arrived like the proverbial lion in my area of Cape Cod. I know it did in other areas of this country as well. I'm writing this in front of my fireplace all wrapped up in a blanket with a hot cup of coffee and a cat by my side. The thermometer outside my snowy front porch reads -5 degrees!

 

Was 2013 stressful for you? That's what I've heard from lots of intuitive reading cients this past year. I thought about what to write for this first newsletter of the year. Peter provided the just the right question. Find my "Break the Stress Cycle" answer to him in my "Ask Lynn" column below.

 

In gratitude...

The Serenity Solution
Over the holidays I read a great book that is in keeping with this month's topic of reducing stress and finding peace. It's entitled, "The Serenity Solution: How to Use Quiet Contemplation to Solve Life's Problems," by Keith Park, Ph.D. I loved the layout of the book and the simple yet effective exercises and techniques he shares. I think you'll find many of them helpful in evoking your intuitive insights!

 

 

 

 

 

Quantum Jumps

The other book I read is from one of my favorite authors, Cynthia Sue Larson. Her latest book is  "Quantum Jumps: An Extraordinary Science of Happiness and Prosperity." Her intriguing theory, which she backs up with lots of examples, is that we exist in an interconnected holographic multiverse in which we literally jump from one parallel universe to another. She has many advanced manifestation tools to enable you to create a life you love.

Wisdom Quotations

 

"Most of us are in touch with our intuition whether we know it or not, but we're usually in the habit of doubting or contradicting it so automatically that we don't even know it has spoken. The first step is to pay more attention to what you feel inside, to the inner dialogue that goes on within you" - Shakti Gawain

 

Quotes from Lynn A. Robinson "When we become impatient, we literally devalue ourselves and our connection to the divine Holy Spirit. Impatience is a failure to trust in the universal intelligence, and it implies that we are separate from the all-providing spirit." - Wayne Dyer

 

"Before you can do something that you've never done before, you have to be able to imagine it's possible." - Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D.

 

"90% of gut feelings are caused by gas." - Unknown

 

"Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind and happiness inside.  No matter what's going on outside of us, there's always something we could be grateful for." - Barry Neil Kaufman

Dear Lynn -

I've been under so much stress lately. I've been inundated with too many projects at work as well as family responsibilities. I'm juggling too many things in my life and not doing any of them well. My intuition seems to have gone underground. I feel anxious and worried all the time. Do you have any fresh approaches and advice to deal with these issues? - Peter N.

  

Dear Peter:

 

I can relate to what you're saying! I confess that several years ago I might have won the title of "Multi-Tasking Queen." Before I had my "aha" moment about this bad habit, you could find me talking on the phone while trying to write a blog, jotting notes for my grocery list, and glancing at the text messages coming in on my phone. It took a few months of frequent migraines and stomach upset to realize I might be a little stressed!

 

Here are the top four habits I implemented that have really helped break the cycle:

 

Schedule Down Time

Every month I would block out several days or parts of a day that was non-work. When the day arrived, I would ask my intuition, "What do I need today?" Sometimes the answer was to sleep more. Often it was to go for a walk, meditate, do some writing in my journal, check out a museum, read a book or get together with a friend. I'm convinced that if I hadn't blocked these times out in my calendar, I wouldn't have made time for them. They added immeasurably to my peace of mind.

 

Plan Things You're Excited About

I noticed that the clients who were the happiest were always excited about some upcoming event, occasion or project. It could be a class they signed up for that had something to do with a non-work related interest, a get-together with their adult children, or a family outing with the younger ones. Vacations topped the list, of course. However, I was struck by the variety of overnights close to home, or a short trip to an attraction nearby. My husband and I created a list of fun things to do and at least once a week we chose an item and went off on an adventure. Interestingly, some of the ones that were the most memorable were the least expensive.

 

Find a Meditation Practice That Works for You and Do It!

I struggled with meditation for a long time. I began to seriously question whether it was really helping me when I just couldn't seem to get more than a few seconds of that acclaimed blissful state everyone wrote about. Meditation more often left me agitated and decidedly not peaceful. My experience changed when I decided to put on headsets and listen to music while meditating. I found my blissful groove while doing that. I'm not sure what the "experts" would say. However, my own inner expert - my intuition - says if it works, do it! Experiment a little. Check out some different options for yourself. I've found that I have a much calmer approach to life and its normal ups and downs after implementing this practice. Now I look forward to my meditation time as a quiet oasis in a busy day.

 

I've saved the best for last. 

The final idea is... 

 

Are You in Need of Some Fresh Insight for 2014?

 

"All I can say is that you were 'spot on.' Your insights about my boss and my general workplace were so helpful to me. You saw a new job for me in 2014 and gave me a lot of information about it. I had been feeling so discouraged. Your reading got me back on the right track again. Thanks so much."  - Judy K.
