Three Key Elements to Successful New Years’ Resolutions

Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons.~Ruth Ann Schabacker   Last year at this time I was celebrating the recent publication of my very first book and during Day 3 of my virtual book tour I was an honored guest on Dr. Rob Kiltz’s blog, Mind Body Smile.  The title of my post was “The Key To Successful New Year’s Resolution and a Happy 2013” and in it I discussed my belief that there are three key elements to successful resolutions.  These key elements are as relevant today as they were a year ago, so I thought I’d share the post once again.  So enjoy these Three Key Elements to Successful New Years’ Resolutions then tell me in the comments below, what are your intentions for 2014? Wishing all of you a very Happy New Year!   As a clinical therapist, motivational presenter, author & teacher, Sheila’s passion is to provide a forum for people to process emotion & integrate spiritual understanding into their daily lives.

Can You Relate?

I was recently tagged in Facebook, given the number “19” and asked to write 19 random facts about myself.  (19? Thanks for that Sarah…)  As I think about the list I put together, I can’t help but wonder if any of you can relate? Here we go ~ 1.  My childhood nickname was Binz. 2.  I rescued a baby deer whose mother was killed by a car.. nursed her with a bottle and walked her on a leash.. she would follow me around the house during the day. 3.  My favorite book (besides Enchanted One) is Lamb by Christopher Moore. 4.  When I grow up I want to write a novel. 5.  My daughter and I text each other throughout the school day.. my son prefers telepathy. 6.  I love training people to communicate with Spirit Guides, Channel Messages and give Readings. 7.  There is both a fierceness and a gentleness to my love. 8.  I love unconditionally but I like conditionally. 9.  When my son was 3 yrs old he told me “God is in darkness too”.  It took me several years to integrate that truth into absolute knowing. 10.  Baking calms me when I get overwhelmed. 11.  I am a white woman who can’t sing AND I won a NAMMY (Native American Music Award) for Best New Age Album~ Enchanted Garden 12.  I walk barefoot in the snow. 13.  I credit Dan Brown for opening the Door to the messages of Magdalene and the Divine Feminine. 14.  I think the teens of today are awesome!

Save the Date: July 16th Sheila Applegate is Reading at Barnes & Noble in Dewitt, NY

I love to go to Barnes & Noble.  It is one of my favorite places.  I touch books, flip through them… feel their energy.  I can be in there for hours drinking a Toffee Nut Latte and getting lost in the vibration of all the beautiful books.  My kids love the book store just as much as I do; spending time there is actually one of our favorite family activities.  In fact I took my son to LA a couple years ago and we basically toured various B&Ns the whole trip! So you can imagine how excited I was to see copies of my book in the Spiritual section of our local Barnes & Noble.  I am even more excited to ask you to save the date for my own appearance there!  So mark your calendar… I will be at the DeWitt (NY) Barnes and Noble on July 16 at 7pm for an Enchanted One book discussion and signing.  Please come!  Grab your favorite Starbucks beverage and prepare to be Enchanted.  Looking forward to seeing you there! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As a clinical therapist, motivational presenter, author & teacher, Sheila’s passion is to provide a forum for people to process emotion & integrate spiritual understanding into their daily lives.

A Key to Manifesting the Life You Desire: Your Smile

I believe there are three key elements to successfully manifesting the life you desire. I’ve written about this before in a guest post on Dr. Rob Kiltz’s great blog mind-body-smile :0 but I would like to take a moment today to focus on one of the key elements: YOUR SMILE. Last summer I went out with a group of friends. There was a man with us whom I met for the first time that night. He smiled the entire night. Every time I looked at him he was smiling. He smiled when he spoke about his work. He smiled when he listened to other people speak. He simply smiled, taking in every moment with pure joy.  It has been nearly a year since that night. As I write this I realize that I have not seen him since then. Yet I consider him a friend simply because his smile reflected a joy for life that I resonated so deeply with. Another example of the power of a smile is found in His Holiness, The Dalai Lama. Spending a couple days in his presence last fall, I have to say that one of the most powerful gift he offers the world is the pure healing  joy of his smile and his laughter. Over the course of the two days, he said a lot of profound and beautiful words but the greatest impact he had was when he simply smiled. When that smile turned to laughter the power of his joy penetrated even more deeply into the hearts of his listeners. So what does the power of a smile have to do...
