Changing old habits and creating new ones can be a challenging but rewarding process. The key to success is to understand the habit loop and use it to your advantage. The habit loop consists of a cue, a routine, and a reward. The cue is the trigger that initiates the habit, the routine is the behavior or action that follows, and the reward is the positive outcome that reinforces the habit. To change an old habit, you need to identify the cue, find a new routine that satisfies the same reward, and repeat it until it becomes a new habit.
One effective way to change old habits and create new ones is to start small. Instead of trying to change everything at once, focus on one habit and work on it consistently. It's easier to make small changes that are sustainable over time than to try to make big changes that may be too overwhelming. For example, if you want to start exercising regularly, start with a 10-minute walk every day and gradually increase the duration and intensity of your workouts.
Another helpful strategy for changing old habits and creating new ones is to enlist support from others. Surround yourself with people who have similar goals and habits, and who will encourage and motivate you. You can also find an accountability partner who will hold you accountable for your actions and provide feedback and support when needed. Having a support system can make the habit change process more enjoyable and rewarding, and increase your chances of success.
Identifying triggers that initiate behavior we want to change is an essential step towards changing those behaviors. Triggers are the cues or signals that initiate the behavior we want to change, and they can be internal or external. Internal triggers are thoughts, feelings, or physical sensations that lead to the behavior, while external triggers are environmental cues that prompt the behavior. To identify triggers, it's important to pay close attention to our thoughts, feelings, and actions in different situations.
One effective way to identify triggers is to keep a journal or record of the behavior you want to change. Write down the date, time, and location of the behavior, as well as any thoughts, feelings, or physical sensations that occurred before and after the behavior. This will help you identify patterns and triggers that are associated with the behavior. For example, if you notice that you always eat junk food when you're feeling stressed, the trigger for your behavior may be stress.
Another helpful strategy for identifying triggers is to ask yourself questions that help you explore the reasons behind the behavior. For example, you can ask yourself, "What am I feeling right now?" "What thoughts are going through my mind?" "What events or situations led to this behavior?" By asking these questions, you can gain insight into the triggers that are leading to the behavior you want to change.
Finally, it can be helpful to seek feedback from others. Ask friends or family members to observe your behavior and provide feedback on what they notice. They may be able to identify triggers that you haven't noticed or provide a different perspective on the behavior you want to change.

“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.” —Tony Robbins
Today's blog is about the Law of Detachment. This is the sixth law in the Universal laws and is so important. You see, in order to acquire anything in the physical Universe, you must relinquish your attachment to it. Thus, trust God totally for your desires at the perfect time.
When we apply this law we have the freedom to leave everything as is, and the freedom to participate without attachment to an idea, a solution, or a goal.
So what are some indications that we are holding on to our desires, or outcomes, and not letting them be in the hands of the Spirit?
What are five indications that we are holding on to our goals, dreams, and desires too tightly?
- You constantly think about it and ruminate on it at all times.
- You become frustrated and impatient when things don't happen as quickly as you'd like.
- You become inflexible and unwilling to consider other options.
- You become overly focused on the outcome rather than the process.
- You become so obsessed with it that it begins to affect your relationships and other areas of your life.
I'm sure you've experienced some of these five indications in life, and if you find that you are in the midst of one of these, there is hope and a way to change your outcome. When we constantly think about a specific desire and are controlling the outcome, we are limiting the flow of the Universe and God in the direction and result of our desire.
Focusing on the process or the steps that are needed to achieve your desire will leave the outcome unlimited, and may end up so much better than you originally dreamed. Think about how often you've had a desire that when you started along the journey, it opened up to something greater than you ever dreamed possible. When we leave the outcome to Spirit (God) it takes on a greater vision, one that we aren't capable of seeing in the beginning.
Here are 5 tips to apply the Law of Detachment
- Take time for self-reflection. Before applying the Law of Detachment, it's important to take time to reflect on your own behavior, emotions, and reactions. Ask yourself what is causing you to be attached to certain people, situations, or outcomes.
- Practice mindfulness. Mindfulness can help you be more aware of your thoughts and feelings in each moment, so you can better practice the Law of Detachment.
- Let go of expectations. The Law of Detachment is about releasing your expectations from a situation and allowing it to unfold naturally.
- Be grateful for what you have. Gratitude can help you put things into perspective and be thankful for the things you have instead of focusing on what you don't have.
- Don't be hard on yourself. Remember that it takes practice to learn how to detach and let go of things. Don't be too hard on yourself if you find it challenging at first.
While applying this law needs practice it is well worth being aware of it in your life. All of the seven laws do work together hand in hand and support us to create the life that we truly desire.
The first of the Essential Oils to help with this law is Valor, which instills courage, confidence, and self-esteem, as well as keeps your body in balance and alignment. Stress Away is a blend that brings a feeling of peace and tranquility and also helps to relieve daily stress. You can also use Citrus Fresh or other citrus oils as they stimulate the right brain to amplify creativity and well-being. These oils also are uplifting and help to eradicate anxiety.

Today I'm going to talk about the Law of Pure Potentiality. So what is that? There are a lot of fancy ways of saying what this means though I like to say this Law comes into place when we recognize that the Spirit, our inner being, is one of pure potentiality, and pure consciousness. When we listen and tap into what our inner being is saying to us in that small voice, we are then in alignment with the power of God that manifests everything in the Universe.
When we are guided by the Spirit anything is possible and there is unlimited creativity. Here are some tips on how to fully implement this Law into your life.
Five things that help us live The Law of Pure Potentiality
- Meditation - Meditation can help us slow our minds and gain a sense of inner peace, allowing us to tap into the infinite potential that exists within us.
- Gratitude - Focusing on being thankful for what we have instead of focusing on what we don’t have can help us realize that anything is possible.
- Reflection - Taking time to reflect on our experiences can help us gain insight into our current situation and how we can manifest our desired outcomes.
- Visualization - Imagining our desired outcomes can help us manifest them in our physical reality.
- Affirmations - Positive affirmations can help us create an inner landscape of positivity and possibility, allowing us to manifest our dreams into reality.
All of these things will help you to really understand your true nature. You'll never feel guilty, fearful, or insecure about money, affluence, or fulfilling your desires.
Ask yourself what happens to you when the objects in your life disappear. What if you lose everything? Your money, your home, your employment? If you're totally reliant on things outside of yourself then your freedom becomes conditional. If you're more in touch with the world than God, then you'll feel fear, doubt, and anxiety, and you're not in touch with your inner being, which is where pure potentiality begins.
Five things that happen when you reject the spirit within you and choose worldly possessions.
- You may miss out on the true joy and fulfillment that comes from living a spiritual life.
- Your relationships may suffer as you become more focused on materialistic things.
- You may become more inclined to engage in negative behaviors such as greed, envy, and selfishness.
- You may become disconnected from your true self, leading to feelings of loneliness and emptiness.
- You may experience an inner discord between your spiritual needs and desires and the desires of the world, leading to a sense of disharmony.
When you are grounded in the knowledge of your true Self - when you really understand your true nature - you'll never feel guilty, fearful, or insecure because you realize that the essence of all material wealth is life energy, it is pure potentiality, and pure potentiality is your intrinsic nature.
To help you practice this Law, here are some of the Essential Oils that will help you to become more connected to your inner being. Citrus Fresh stimulates the right brain to amplify creativity and well-being. It also helps to eradicate anxiety. You can also use Lemon to bring clarity of thought and purpose, Lavender to calm, relax, and balance, and Frankincense which increases spiritual awareness, promotes meditation and prayer, improves attitude, and uplifts spirits.

Change is inevitable.
Even if you resist change, it will still happen.
So why wait, or fret about changes that happen in your life?
Over the last couple of years, a lot has changed in my life. Some changes for the better, some not so good.
For instance, once upon a time, I was naive enough to think that there were some things that would never change. Things like, I would move in the same circle of friends, I would continue down the same path in my career, I would never think of moving or selling my home, and I was staying in my church forever.
If you relate to any of that then you know that change happens whether you like it or not. Friends suddenly move on, that career becomes not what you envisioned, and the Universe has a different plan that is not in a direction you can even imagine.
The most important thing to realize about change is its growth! It's learning to flow with the stream instead of fighting against the tide.
It's understanding that you may grow in a different direction from friends and colleagues and when that happens it's OK to make new friends and new contacts.
Moving and changing to grow and expand is part of fulfilling your purpose.
So, why the heck is it so hard to change?
There are a couple of things:
1. Old habits are hard to shake.
2. You have an enormous desire, though you don't know how to make it happen so you don't make a move.
3. You don't believe that your dreams and goals can really happen.
4. You are afraid of failure and the repercussions that you perceive come with that.
5. You think you need to be perfect before you can achieve your goals and dreams.
All of these reasons are just thoughts coming from feelings that are preventing you from moving forward, changing your present, to achieve your future.
