Changing unproductive ways by learning how to stand in our own power
Changing unproductive ways and being, such as sitting on the lounge watching television hours on in to productive ways, such as exercising, thus you are changing unconstructive habits.
Who knows when you make these changes you may find a need to change some other behaviors and habits, such as deceptiveness, binge eating, smoking, etc to useful habits by developing a positive outlook.
Even if these behaviors are not a problem for you, there is always room for improvement.
Oftentime we find that as we evolve and change, many of our other small and sometimes insignificant habits make themselves known and we can more easily address them as well, in the same process.
It’s like everything we take care of in the journey forward to happiness and freedom is helping us in the ways that they are showing themselves to us as we go. This is really life changing stuff!
Making changes for the better gives you something to look forward to.
When you make positive changes, your conduct shows to others that you have worked at finding your success.
In addition, good conducts encourage other people to follow your steps. To stand in our own power helps others to want that too and we become a resource for others, isn’t that awesome?
It’s not an overnight success thing, and it can be a rough path to travel for a while when we first begin changing your ways, but the road blocks we seem to encounter can be looked as something that will will help you be even more creative and succeed in your goals. If you try to rush, it will only hinder you from making productive progress.
So take it one-step at a time. Be kind to yourself 🙂
For example, if you want to quite smoking or lose weight, set up reasonable goals to get started.
Do not beat yourself down if you fail the first time. Rather pick yourself up and just go forward in your goal to achieve whatever it is that you want to change in your life.
The only use of looking back is if you want to see your progress, and when seeing that it’s like giving you a reward so that you keep that positive attitude alive!
What changes are you ready to begin implementing right now? Not tomorrow; but today 🙂
You have been an amazing addition to my life!
Thank you for all of the wonderful light, and love that you send out into the world. You are indeed an inspiration even though we are half way across the world – isn’t that wonderful! It is a privilege that is not taken lightly. Thank you Maria!

I can’t put into words how much you have helped me
I couldn’t have kept it all together had I not experienced a PROFOUND shift during and after my session with you.
You are truly a gift to us all!
I can’t even begin to express how much I have gained internally after my session with you. You have been an instrument of peace in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Can’t recommend her enough!
Working with Maria was one of the best investments I ever made in myself. I’ve seen immediate shifts in my energy as well as learned to work with my own energy and mind. It has been one of the single most transformational experiences of my life. Can’t recommend her enough!

Maria, what I’ve learned through you is beyond priceless!
You have inspired me more than any human being. I have gotten more from what you than all the churches, clergy and spiritual organizations combined.

I highly recommend Maria!
I don’t even recognize the person who started working with her a few months ago. Maria clearly sees what is blocking, stopping or limiting you. Working with her has been more transformational than any other thing that I’ve tried. There have been profound shifts in the way I see myself and the world, so many shifts in my energy and life. I find myself so much lighter and freer. Thank you Maria!
Britt, Marbella, Spain
I got more than I could ever hoped for
I had such a positive experience working with her. I feel like a huge weight have been lifted and I have so much more perspective on what I have been struggling with. I feel more myself, more at peace and all around better mentally and emotionally since my sessions with her.

I’ve had HUGE shift in my beliefs
Maria’s intuitive abilities have been instrumental to the personal growth I’ve experienced as a result of working together. I’ve had HUGE shift in my beliefs. Her undivided attention, presence and unique ability to read your state helped me to breakthrough and release old patterns and replace them with new self-empowering practices that have truly shifted my life. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone. I am forever changed and forever grateful!

I have never felt more alive
Maria’s awareness of energies and the conditions of the mind are truly impressive. She knows exactly what’s going on. She is so attuned to other peoples’ energy that she just knows where you’re at. After working with her I have never felt more alive and aligned to my true self.
Andrew B, San Diego, CA, USA
I feel blissful
I woke up this morning without those thoughts. This has not happened in a long, long time and I can’t be happier. My mind felt like an empty piece of paper in which I could write my new, happy story. I don’t know if I make sense, but all I can say is that I feel blissful. And I can’t thank you enough for that. I don’t know exactly how you managed this, but you have really made a difference in how my mind works.
I was taken over by peacefulness
After our session, something happened within me that I cannot explain nor would it even make sense to anyone. There was a part of me that felt my being been taken over by a real peacefulness that I’ve never encountered before. Sounds odd but it’s the truth.
I felt nothing but peace during and since the session
It was a wonderful experience for me as I noticed a lot of new and different energies moving around in the body. I could feel much going on in my body… warm sensations moving through, new energies not previously experienced moving into place and then the muscles in that same area begin twitching, as if they are coming alive… I suspect that’s exactly what they were doing.
Mike, Dallas, Texas, US
You will feel the energy
I WAS AMAZED and immediately scheduled another a few days later. When I felt the healing taking place it was so peaceful and literally relaxing. I started to see a remarkable transformation in my life. And it happened fast!!
Yolanda
You are a wonderful guide and Mentor
You have been and still are wonderful guide and Mentor for me through some rather rocky waters. You selflessly shared some of your own experiences with me and were true and open and genuine and kind to me when I shared my “confusing” moments which you helped me see a very different perspective.
Kelly, New Zealand
I could feel the tension leaving my body

My life has changed dramatically
Since plugging in to your wisdom my life has changed dramatically. You pointed me in the right direction and that gave me courage to continue moving through whatever process I may find myself in and the ability to take refuge in the truth within me. Thank you for helping and giving me the encouragement to stand strong amidst experiences that I didn’t understand.

I felt freer than I have in years
When I first started working with Maria, I knew right away she was something special. During the healing session I felt something shift in me. Almost immediately I started to feel lighter. I felt the old, limiting beliefs and stories release from my mind and I felt freer than I have in years.

Maria,
I wanted to let you know that I’ve read quite a few of your articles and have shared them in the lobby of the mental health facility I work at (always including your name as credit and referring readers to your website). Your articles are great for our setting here!
Tabitha
Supported Employment Specialist
NKHS CRT Program–Newport,VT
Hi Tabitha,
Thank you for saying that, I appreciate it!
I’m glad to be a source of inspiration for you (or your work-place) as I have gone through difficult times myself (as you may know from having read some of my posts) and there’s nothing more fulfilling than to be able to share my own journey with the intent to touch hearts and to empower others that they too can be find their way back to themselves again and be healed.
What kind of work is it that you do more specifically? (What kind of mental health is the focus of your work?)
Thanks again for your comment!
All the best,
Maria
I work as a Supported Employment Specialist for a non-profit human services agency called Community Rehabilitation and Treatment. I help those in my community suffering from various mental illnesses (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, PTSD, depression, personality disorders, etc) find and maintain work. I work closely with these individuals, their case managers, therapists and psychiatrist to overcome obstacles and barriers so they can work. Many of these individuals are very debilitated because of their illness and require daily supports for their basic needs, but others just need a helping hand in getting their lives back together after an episode.
In addition, I work closely with our community’s businesses to raise awareness and fight stigmas surrounding mental illness. We use Evidence-Based Practice methods and are working to adopt more Peer-Led Recovery programs.
I enjoy your articles that concentrate on having a positive attitude and how to change thinking as well as about forgiving. I have found many of them are great material for our waiting room.
I am always interested in learning about how other communities help their members suffering from mental illness. Do you have a program similar in your community?
That’s really great! Are you by any chance friends with Michele Rosenthal?
(If not you can find her on Twitter: @lifeaftertrauma)
She also does work that has to do with PTSD, maybe you’ll have other things in common too.
I don’t know how the traditional (or “normal”) treatment regarding mental illnesses are here where I live – I don’t have that focus in my life as my focus is on the more spiritual aspects of human development, or consciousness.
Great to hear that my writings are helpful in your community and that you’re sharing my website with people you come in contact with, again; thank you for that – it’s much appreciated! 🙂
Such a small world! I have met Michele briefly (in cyberspace 😀 ) and have her on my facebook buddies. I operate a website called The First Five Pages for authors and she will be posting the first of her book in the coming weeks. At the risk of sounding like advertising, I invite you to drop by and check it out! You can email me directly with your email address and I’ll let you know when her work is posted there if you like. If I remember correctly her post will be this week starting Wednesday and will run as the Featured Story for one week.
Here’s my email: Tabitha_Short@hotmail.com
And here’s the website: http://www.thefirstfivepages.blog.com
Happy Writing! ~Tab
I had a feeling you might know her:-)
I have contributed to her Project Give Back with a free gift for people who buy the book, you can find it on her info-page about the book if I remember it right.
Wishing you all the best with your venture together!
Maria
