Trust the process between levels of consciousness

From my eBook: Upgrading Your Life by Joycelyn Marshall

When your “state of being” is between levels of consciousness, you will fluctuate between getting opportunities to expand and experiencing destruction in your old lifestyle. Try not to be broken-hearted nor afraid during the destruction period nor do not project an outcome based on the destruction. Try to see the good in the destruction for it is meant to move you forward. Erase all expectations of any outcome and stay neutral to let in the new. Accept that you do not know anything about your next level of consciousness and acknowledge the need for the higher intelligence of God by asking for guidance. Let the Universe (God) be your source for everything.

Take care of your true (soul) self

From the eBook: Upgrading Your Life by Joycelyn Marshall

Take care of your true (soul) self even while in partnership. Find the middle ground that will allow the partnership to flourish while supporting and respecting the true (soul) self of each other.

Unresolved conflicts

From my ebook: Aligning with your authenticity Vol. 2 by Joycelyn Marshall

Unresolved conflicts can cause resentment that negatively affect our inner peace and can also fracture important relationships that are necessary to achieving our highest aspirations. Being able to lead the way out of conflicts, before it festers, takes spiritual maturity on our part. Most times, it requires exercising compassion to make peace first with ourselves and then the others—so that all sides can be heard, understood and acknowledged.

Make the choice to be happy

From my eBook: Upgrading Your Life by Joycelyn Marshall

Happiness is in your “lifestyle” where you focus on the positive; refuse to focus on negativity unless taking action to peacefully resolve it; send love to certain situations so that you can energetically detach from them; be mindful of what can and cannot change so that you can get the serenity to make good choices; overcoming fear and taking a leap of faith into the unknown to follow your soul’s desires.

A sense of accomplishment

From my eBook: Aligning with your authenticity by Joycelyn Marshall

Feeling a sense of accomplishment can sometimes just be a matter of seeing your progress from a higher perspective by seeing how far you have come or the “mountain” you have climbed or that the hardest part will soon be done and it will be downhill from there on; and being grateful for where you are in the process.

All that glitters may not be gold for you

From my eBook: Upgrading Your Life by Joycelyn Marshall

Money, of itself, is not bad. It is an important tool to satisfy our material needs. What is bad is when we allow money to control us in the form of our greed and desperation. When we take actions from those type of energies, we are usually led down paths that are not in keeping with our highest aspirations and our optimal fulfillment. Take the focus off money and do your life purpose or passion with the intention of benefiting humanity and making the world a better place and allow the Universe to show you the best plan to bring you the means to satisfy your needs…in Divine timing…

Codependency on another to feel powerful

From my eBook: Self-Mastery/True Self-Empowerment by Joycelyn Marshall

Your true power can never be OVER someone else. Your true power is always OF yourself.

If you attach your true power as “feeling better than someone else” then you create a need for that person to exist in your life. Needing someone for your feelings of power is of itself giving your power away.

Ways in which we can create our own stress

From my eBook: Upgrading Your Life by Joycelyn Marshall

1. Obsessing about the negative outcomes in the world when we can’t do anything about it. Instead, focus on the positive. Focus only on the negative, if we are working on a solution to remove it.

2. Not taking control of how we feel. If we feel accomplished, we are accomplished; if we feel we can achieve it, we can achieve it; if we feel we are happy, we are happy – for only we know our true feelings, our true desires, our highest aspirations and what will truly fulfill us. We are therefore the most powerful to always make us feel the best about ourselves. Don’t give this power away by caring what others think about you more than you do about yourself.

3. Not stopping to refuel regularly.

4. Trying to do it alone without help from others. It’s ok to ask for help, delegate and oversee when possible or accept help from others when the load is too much for us. We don’t have to do it all on our own. If you are spiritual, then ask also for divine guidance. Then trust and accept that what arises is the best outcome for you, at any particular time.

5. Always wanting to be seen as perfect by others’ standards. We are here to be authentic and true to ourselves. It’s ok to put our imperfections out there. We all have imperfections of some sort and none is worse than the other.

6. Not making “being happy” a priority, in any situation we find ourselves.

7. Trying to be something we’re not. If it sparkles doesn’t mean it’s better. Being true to ourselves reduces stress as it makes us happier.

Open up to your full confidence

Life is there for us to live our own dreams and not to live it through others. It must be with a freedom of expression of our true nature, desires and birthright gifts and not about compromising in any shape or form to fit in. It is not about attaching to a label to derive some form of ownership or identity as everyone should be his or her owner and should derive his or her own identity from their own true nature. But it’s a process to get to this level of living and it’s ours for the taking when we learn how to align our state of being with our full confidence.

Remain hopeful during uncertainties

From my eBook: Self-Mastery/True Self-Empowerment by Joycelyn MarshallRemain hopeful during uncertainties to keep your vibrations high.

Sometimes we are put in “what may appear to us as harsh” situations for us to recognize our true divine gifts and talents. Choose the best steps to empower yourself from this situation and it will open up new possibilities and experiences in your life which would serve you well on your journey ahead. Always make the choice to empower yourself rather than succumb to defeat of any sort, the likes of self pity etc.
