Smile Endlessly

For Sale by Owner

Until recent times most everyone hired a realtor when they wanted to sell a home. Today the internet is changing that tendency since it is possible to advertise to large numbers of people by posting on any one of the for sale by owner sites.  

Here is an excellent site that offers a first class education about the in's and out's of selling by owner. 

http://www.sell-my-house-fsbo.com/sale-by-owner-procedures.html

The site is dense and filled with value for anyone motivated enough to take the plunge into this tough market with foreclosures, short sales and seemingly endless good buys to consider. 

Some tips on this site include practical information about those signs that let potential buyers know that you are selling. Use a professional sign that looks like you are serious. Buyers do drive neighborhoods looking for houses for sale. Often they are not working with an agent. And they do judge you by your sign.  

Yes it can be intimidating to take on this job when you are a novice and only selling one home... yours.  However it's a home you know a lot about, and when you keep your ears and eyes open you will learn quickly what needs to be fixed, changed or updated. 

Remember every new endeavor has a stress factor and you can use EFT to help you overcome fear and resistance. Do your homework and think about that big smile on your face on closing day. See yourself sitting in the bank signing those papers and receiving your check with that even bigger broad smile of satisfaction because you sold your house yourself. Do pat yourself on the back for having the courage to leap into the unknown. 

Yes we are currently selling our house in Asheville, NC.  

Here is our house web site:  http://www.eft4you.com/ashevillehouse/  

You will find lots of photo's and information and a good example of how to use the internet to get the word out. We also post flyers and place ads with the link to our web site so that our friends and potential buyers can get a reasonably solid look at what we are offering. And it's a gem!

Thanks for passing the word on. That makes me smile with gratitude. 

Kathy

PS. I did a lot of EFT release the fear tapping before I took the leap. And it worked as it always does.

Inner Adversity

The idea of smiling into adversity intriques me. It actually lifts my spirits when I am embroiled in some inner angst and for just a moment I allow the corners of my mouth to lift.  Often this hint of a smile is followed by a shaking of my head back and forth in a no gesture, as my mouth lifts a bit more.  Very soon the negative emotional static begins to clear and my smile comes into full bloom. 

Growing up with a strong religious code of ethics is both a blessing and a curse. As a child I was schooled by the good Sisters, in the art of self examination (of conscience). Conscience becomes guilt very rapidly when young and tender children are asked to sort out concepts that most adults struggle with. This can mess up their ability to accept and love themselves for a lifetime. 

I have set myself on the path of self appreciation and it is a slippery slope. My over active critical mind is driven by the fear of being wrong, bad or just not good enough.  I have successfully progressed to the art of loving myself even when I get triggered by my history. Ten years ago I began to study the Emotional Freedom Tapping Techniques (EFT). My inner world is clearer and brighter because of this wonderful finger tapping tool.

EFT employs stimulating the body by tapping on the face and body in order to break up the conjestion of thoughts that are repeating and repeating randomly for no useful reason. While there is still much to learn about this letting go process, we are indeed winning the emotional freedom fight. To those who know how, I say keep tapping it works! To those who don't know, you can learn... everything EFT is found extensively on the internet, including my web site (see below). 

Now that's worth a smile, a sparkle, and brighter smile that lights up your face.  So what happened to that critical mind that beats me up when I should be sleeping? gone to sleep. Smile.

Smile into Adversity

We can all find uplift in the images of the smiling faces of those sturdy Vermont folks who have and are still weathering the destruction of Hurricane Irene. My family and I lived in Vermont for 14 years where we owned a vegan organic Bed and Breakfast. A portion of our hearts will always remain in that pristine land within the memories we carry inside of us.   

Vermont people are no strangers to the adversity of weather conditions that require sleepless nights behind snow plows on a regular basis. However when the water is not in it's frozen form of snow the challenge goes beyond what even they have skills to manage and yet they get to work with a kind of community spirit that warms the heart to witness. 

Rugged individualism gives way to cooperation as restaurants opened their kitchens to receive whatever food was being donated for cooking. They freely offered meals to those in their towns who gathered to share food and stories of encouragement.

They will work for many months to repair the damage to their homes and cities. And yet the incredible beauty of this northern state shines through in the videos seen on U tube, taken by citizens throughout the country side. Amazingly the smiles on the faces of folks, standing outside with their belongings strewn around them on porches and in yards drying in the sun, bring a strong sense of the spirit of gratitude that they are still alive and determined to return to the life they treasure.  

Nature is calling us all to a higher ground where appreciation and gratitude become our dominate thought patterns as we focus our minds toward emotional upliftment. By cultivating the habit of Smiling Endlessly in gratitude we can stabilize our lives in times of adversity and challenge.

Helping Children Smile

As parents we can forget to pay attention to the emotional difficulties that our children face everyday at school. We might find ourselves focusing more on the academics and less on the emotional lessons that they are struggling with. They are in the intense emotional world of competition and finding their place socially. Perhaps as adults we have forgotten how great a challenge this can be.

The Emotional Freedom Tapping Techniques are simple and easy for children to learn and result in better coping skills and lowered emotional stress. I would like to suggest a book called "The Wizards Wish" or How He Made the Yuckies Go Away- A story about the Magic in You, written by Brad Yates. 

In the hands of children and parents this simple primer about managing emotions can result in calmer households and better grades for children of all ages. 

Eleanore Duyndam, president of Golden Gift Media (and mother of two) raves, "Pure magic! This Book...offers a simple way to feel better now."

Mary Sise, author of The Energy of Belief says, "Beautifully written and illustrated, every child should have access to this book. I absolutely loved it!"

Remember, calmer and more cooperative children, could be the reward of the small investment of getting this book for yourself and your children.

Smile more with EFT

The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) are a simple tool with the potential for enormous benefits. More and more people are discovering EFT's power and are using EFT to feel better. There are few who would deny that there is reason for higher levels of stress today than in our most recent past.

Yet some try EFT for an issue, get results, and don't continue to use it for other issues. In spite of the fact that it takes less than a minute to apply EFT to a problem, not enough actually embrace it's use whole heartedly.  Mediation is another simple tool and though many have tried it and experienced profound results, few actually practice on a regular basis.  Rhythmic Breath work is also simple, yet again few take the art of conscious breathing up as a daily practice.

I want to state that while EFT is easy in it's application, those with the highest motivation, are most likely to persist in it's use. For instance, War Veterans are applying EFT successfully and getting free from the debilitating effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorders using only these tapping techniques. See www.eftforvets.com  to learn about the video that tells the story titled, Operation: Emotional Freedom, The Answer.

Do we learn to accept these lives full of stress, like the frog who stays in the slowly heating water until death when it could easily jump out and get free? do we too often stay with that which is emotionally familiar? are we ever emotionally free? are we interested in emotional freedom? do we realize when we are not emotionally free?  is emotional freedom the big answer to stress? can we chose emotional freedom?   I think we can and while EFT is not the only answer,  it is An Answer.

Use Emotional Freedom Techniques and jump out of your hot water.

Procrastination or Time to Chill

The subject of procrastination is currently getting a lot of attention. It is also, in my humble opinion being wrongly self diagnosed in many cases. As leading edge creators attempting to manifest through the great Universal Law of Attraction our abundance and ideal lives, we can push ourselves over the edge and into a freefall of distress, overwork, and burnout. This would be a misuse of the ideas of attraction and manifesting our hearts desires.

It's a tough call to really know if there is a energy block from some earlier event in life that holds us back by setting up an inner fear or if we are just pushing too hard and starting to shut down. Since both conditions can feel similar we cannot always use our emotional guidance system to tell us what will help us feel better.

In this case it is my suggestion that you apply the Emotional Freedom Techniques to help you gain clarity about your situation. You can go to www.emofree.com and click on the Newcomers tab to learn more or you can of course call me 828-254-6837  or visit www.kathyheatley.com and I will be happy to help you learn how to use this highly effective self help tool.

Having said that let me get back to procrastination and the attention it is getting as we forge forward toward abundance. I believe that it is the job of our country to expand the limits of abundance into the future. Currently we are experiencing setback in the flow of financial freedom. I won't go into that here since most people get it and feel it already.

Sometimes we just need to wait for the Universe to bring things into alignment for us before we can move forward, and no amount of pushing is going to speed that process and in fact the pushing will likely impede our efforts. Patience really is a useful virtue. So what is it that holds you back? procrastination? or lack of patience? it gets complicated.

Again EFT is an answer because this simple energy tool of tapping with the fingertips on energy meridian comfort points brings clarity to the mind and then it is possible to really know how to proceed. Taking action or exercising patience becomes a clearer path.

Your unconscious mind knows all the right answers since it is connected to the collective unconscious or the great mind of God. EFT is an effective tool for accessing the deep inner mind for guidance and it is unfailing when you can trust yourself to know what you know. No other system is as accurate as your mind. No one else can tell you what is best for you. That is your job. Your job to learn to know yourself. And if you don't know where to begin consider EFT because it's rapid and easy to learn and can be applied to anything you can think of, and some things you might never imagine.

Either way you go toward healing procrastination or healing your lack of patience by releasing fear consider easing up on yourself. Take the practical step of learning more about EFT (inexpensive if money is an issue) and asking for Universal Divine Guidance toward your best method for improving your life and applying the Spiritual Laws of Abundance while cultivating peace of mind. Smell all those roses that you can, pet your cat, love your children and appreciate looking upward toward a clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds. When the eyes are looking up it is not possible to feel down since you are processing information from a very different part of your brain that can only serve you and uplift you.

Be Well, it's easier than you might think,
