Yesterday, I suggested to someone to stop focusing on herself and start focusing on her dream, instead.
I say that to a lot of people, actually.
And I say it often. Including to myself.
Because I know from hard experience, both in my own life and from witnessing the healing of others for so many years, that it’s only possible to create your dream if you focus on it, and not your poor, pathetic, sad, grieving, hurt, unperfect, guilty (add your own self-talk here) self.
It’s really true, that old saying:
Where your thoughts go your energy flows.
Focus on sad, you get sad.
Focus on feeling better, feeling better comes.
Focus on creating dreams, dreams get created.
In my own experience of with umpteen years of depression, I got to see myself spiral down and down and down until I really thought there was no way up, ever.
And then I had the surprise good fortune to learn energy practices. Ho! Miracle! I practiced every day. Sometimes all day – what else did I have to do? After so many years in Down, Up seemed impossible, but I was bound and determined to get there, because Down was killing me.
I got to see myself climbing my inner ladder back up and up and up again. Until now I never go back down as far as I did. Ever.
So, how do you climb out without knowing how, or without a friendly supportive hand? There’s the rub. Most of us stumble along without knowing how. OK. Here’s how.

Two years ago, I was hospitalized with kidney stones. They took ‘em out. It was NOT fun. A year later at my checkup, and my doc said, “Angela, you have a dime-size kidney stone in each kidney. Again.”
