It’s time to set yourself free. Forgive.

Last updated on: December 28, 2014 at 4:26 pm By Cynthia Occelli

This week, I’ve received a plethora of questions about forgiveness. People have asked: What is forgiveness? Why should I forgive? Doesn’t it let the other person off? What’s in it for me? How do I forgive? and the biggie: How can I forgive myself? Forgiveness is a vital part of living your best life. Without it you could squander your whole life away in agony or resentment. No one should live this way. I wrote about forgiveness in my book... Read more

Understanding the the Law of Attraction

Last updated on: December 28, 2014 at 4:27 pm By Cynthia Occelli

I can’t sit by and watch another person judge and beat themselves up for not being positive or high-vibration enough to avoid attracting unwanted events. It’s nonsense and it drives me nuts. “After 5 years of practicing the law of attraction, I’ve lost everything (my job, my dog, my dad, my health). I’m angry and sick with sadness. What did I do wrong and why doesn’t it work for me?” –Sarah, Kansas City LIFE HAPPENS. It just does. Challenges, trials,... Read more

Have regrets? Here’s how to release them.

Last updated on: December 28, 2014 at 4:29 pm By Cynthia Occelli

Regret is the feeling we experience when we look at a past event that didn’t turn out the way we wanted and wish we had made different choices or we look at our life and wish we had pursued a different (career, romantic, personal, etc.) path. One is specific to a situation and the other is more broad, both can cause us real and present agony. My own and greatest experience of regret comes from not listening to my intuition... Read more

Accepting Whatever Happens

Last updated on: December 28, 2014 at 4:30 pm By Cynthia Occelli

Last week, my computer crashed taking a year’s worth of email and documents with it. The back up is corrupted too (if I owe you a response, please let me know). Also last week, a friend who owns property in another state was awakened at 3 am by a phone call informing her that her place was on fire. This week, another friend discovered that his wife has a boyfriend. Each event felt emotionally troubling and caused quite a bit... Read more

Your life will change if you change this.

Last updated on: December 28, 2014 at 4:33 pm By Cynthia Occelli

I woke up this morning thinking about having to have a business conversation that I don’t really want to have (but know that it is in my best interests to have). Like most people, I am the least adept at life mastery in the wee hours (keep this in mind the next time it’s 4:00 am and you’re sensing imminent doom–reach for the light within, it’s also strongest then). As I was grumbling about what I wish I didn’t have... Read more

Become the designer of your interior

Last updated on: December 28, 2014 at 4:36 pm By Cynthia Occelli

One of the greatest obstacles to living one’s best life is a cluttered mind — a mind filled with thoughts, emotions, memories and audio clips from other people. Taken individually, no single bit of clutter matters, but collectively they create a mountain, separating us from the free, expansive thinking that creates peace, progress and innovation. If we could transform the mind environment into a physical space, we would see that many of us are mental hoarders and pack rats living... Read more

Finding Belief in Yourself

Last updated on: December 28, 2014 at 4:40 pm By Cynthia Occelli

Believing in yourself is a major distinguishing characteristic between future success and falling short. When you believe in yourself you’ll persevere and bank and bet on yourself. You’ll have the support of the ONE person who has the power to change everything in your life: YOU. Many people say they don’t know how or why they should believe in themselves. Seek evidence to support believing in yourself and you’ll find it. Here are some examples of great reasons to believe in you:... Read more

How to use the power of NO

Last updated on: December 28, 2014 at 4:45 pm By Cynthia Occelli

Do you say yes when you really want to say no? Do you say yes even if it may cause you upset, discomfort, financial, or emotional harm? If so, you’re among a vast group of women who want to please others and struggle with setting, or upholding healthy boundaries. You want to be liked and you worry that saying no will disappoint others and they won’t like you. I know just how it feels. I’m a recovering yes-aholic. The need... Read more

Are you a victim in your own life?

Last updated on: December 28, 2014 at 4:48 pm By Cynthia Occelli

My mantra is: I AM THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON IN MY LIFE. It wasn’t always so. I used to feel persecuted by life, as though there was something out there intent on holding me down. I blamed it for everything that didn’t go my way and this reinforced the belief that I was a victim of life’s circumstances. Thankfully, life sent me people, events and teachings that helped me to realize the truth. Over the course of two years,... Read more

Is Your True Self Locked Away?

Last updated on: December 28, 2014 at 4:50 pm By Cynthia Occelli

Take 10 minutes for yourself. Get still inside and turn down the voices of everyone outside of you and ask yourself some questions WITHOUT FEAR AND WITHOUT JUDGMENT. Ask yourself where are you in your life now? Are you living your greatest expression? If your life ended today would you be satisfied and fulfilled? What do you ache for? What’s missing? If you don’t think anything is missing, stay open and curious. We are ever-changing and evolving beings and I... Read more
