Gosh it’s February, 2025 ALREADY!
What happened to January? We had planned to send this out so you could have a new year message from us but now it’s closer to Valentines Day!
Luckily, the message applies to both! Time ran away with us and Mel was on a wonderful trip to Japan and she is our tech wizard!
This message is timeless - and also relevant right now!
Everyone is talking about AI - it’s the latest buzzword. But for me, the real AI is Awareness Inside!
Understanding the core beliefs that drive us which I have rabbited on about forever (sheepish grin!), the reflex behaviors that are a consequence of those beliefs and knowing how we feel are all the keys to a more joyful and peace filled life.
Mel and I wanted to wish you all a great new year and instead of giving you even more resolutions, we thought you might like this little PDF we put together on 12 steps to mental wellness (https://amandagore.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/12-Steps-to-Mental-Wellness.pdf). And seeing it’s almost Valentines Day - they are also useful tools for anyone in a relationship.
Relationships are essentially managed by how we feel about ourselves! Think about it - when we are happy, healthy and feeling good about ourselves, everything flows more smoothly; we are more attractive to everyone - including ourselves!
We tried to make the handout fun and something that you can print out and post on your mirror or a wall to have as a reminder to be aware of what is going on in your heart - and head.
And to repeatedly find your way to the wisdom and knowing that exists in your heart at all times. There is no fear in your heart...so whenever you feel fear, anxiety or any state other than peace, you know you are out of your heart and connection to your true self. I too have to make this a daily activity - in fact, several times. Fear is so sneaky - it doesn’t pop up and shout ‘here I am’!! It just insidiously shows up as anxiety, uneasiness, pain, insecurity and a whole host of other emotions. We have to stay alert and practice AI every hour!
I read a quote many years ago from a professor I listened to at a University whose name escapes me - but he said ‘Life is not about feeling good - it’s about being good at feeling!’. And that is so true. We are not really taught to recognize emotions or feelings let alone acknowledge them and allow those emotions to pass through us. This is a secret life hack that changes everything if you can master it.
I would love to say I have mastered this and am always in my core I AM heart space but I can’t!
However, I work on it daily and am better now at recognizing when I am allowing my head, fear and false beliefs to influence my behavior and how I feel - and doing one of these 12 things to move back to my heart which brings me peace.
Or at least acceptance.
Holidays are often a time that bring up all those beliefs and old lies we tell ourselves (and I am no different!) but as long as we consciously choose to be aware of our inner heart space and move to it, we will find the path to peace.
So our wish for you all is to use this year to focus on your heart and your connection to the truth of who you are (which is AMAZING!) - and when there is chaos all around you - remember, your heart is the most powerful organ in your body and probably the most powerful 'technology’ on the planet!
So take a breath in and out; drop to your heart and feel the peace that will come.
Wouldn’t it be great if we celebrated pure love - and being in our hearts - every day instead of just once a year?
Put on your ‘love glasses’ today and see everyone through the eyes of a Divine love - and if you can’t do that - aim for pure acceptance of who the other person is and see their true nature - even if they don’t! Wear them every day and see how your life changes!
Happy new year and happy valentines day to you all! We love you and are grateful for your support!
Thank you so much 🙏❤️
Zooties galore to you!
