Atricle Dump - Transitions: Moving Through Change With Grace
Home equity is the difference between what your home is worth and the amount you owe on it. For most homeowners their home is their biggest asset and it usually represents a treasure trove of cash. In 2005 the value of home equity across the US was $11.3 trillion. The percentage of home ownership in 2005 was 69% down slightly from the record 69.2 % in 2004. Almost 124 million Americans own their own home.With this treasure trove of cash available, literally for the asking, it makes no sense to have credit card debt. It makes no sense to borrow money for anything other than with a home equity loan. Any big expense that comes up like college expenses, medical expenses, and travel, on and on can be taken care of handily with a home equity loan.Here are the top reasons why people get a home equity loan. I am sure there are others. How creative can you be?1. <
WORDS ARE POWER
Be acutely aware of the words you use. Do they empower you or leave you feeling powerless? Observe your spoken language and the self talk in your head. Is it positive or negative? Is it detrimental or helpful? Is it rooted in fear or love? Does it stay centered in the present moment? Positive, self-affirming, resourceful, and loving language — spoken or thought — is what allows us to make the journey. Look into your own eyes in the mirror and support your journey.

Creating any major change in our lives can also create feelings of discomfort. Tiredness, confusion, and uncertainty are among the many emotions that can be experienced. Moving from one way of doing things to another requires a transitional period. The transition is the middle ground that is required for evolution to occur. It’s the place between where you were and where you are going. Usually this middle ground feels unpaved, unstable, lopsided, jagged, and stony. We stumble along with unsure footing wondering if we will ever feel confident again. Our transformation depends on trusting the road will eventually smooth out. Trusting that we are safe even in the midst of change, in the darkness of uncertainty.
I certainly don’t have all the answers for how to proceed through change. But my life experiences continue to teach me that change is growth, change is empowerment, and change is life itself. I continue to realize how to embody the process of change with joy even as fear and confusion are present. The strategies below are steps I take to help ground me when I’m scared during a period of transition. Maybe these strategies can also give you a few ideas that can provide firmer footing to navigate a solid path towards your future possibilities.
ACCEPTANCE
Take a moment breathe deeply. Realize you accepted this transition. No one forced you to change or can force you to complete the change. Although it may not be an easy journey, trust that you will be much better off on the other side. Verbally acknowledge and accept the journey that you determined for yourself. You could say something like, “Universe, I am now ready to accept this journey.” Doing this invokes your personal power to successfully achieve your outcome. Now is the time to open your heart energy and ask, “Universe, how are you going to support me in this?”
GRACE
You may feel uncertain while in transition. Here is a question for you — Are you going to curl up, continue to pretend you are powerless (can’t have what you want), and desperately seek someone to rescue you from the middle of the road? Or are you going to gather up all your courage and gracefully walk on your own two feet? Two very different ways to experience the moment. It’s okay to stumble and fall, we all do it. It’s even okay to lie there in the dirt for awhile. We all run our own stories and everyone has had the experience of a temporary pity party. Or as my friend called it the other day — I was on my ‘weepy wagon’. She said it was okay. However, she wasn’t going to get in and join me in my weepy wagon of self pity. Instead, she would stay with me and pull the handle until I was ready to get out. It was a weepy wagon of old lies and untruths. I’m walking again — much stronger for having fallen.
CHOOSE FAITH
“Feed your faith, not your fears.” Everyday I look at this quote taped to my computer screen. There are only two choices. The greater our fear, the tighter our grip. Do a reality check. Is it time to let go and move into the experience? You will most likely have to move forward while still feeling fear rather than waiting for the fear to pass. Eleanor Roosevelt eloquently stated, “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I've lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
GET SUPPORT
For each of us, we must walk our own path. No one can save us from this journey. No one can pick us up and drop us off on the other side. The journey itself is what offers strength, insight, and wisdom. So we must walk our own road — but that doesn’t mean we can’t bring some friends along to walk with us for awhile. Meet with a nutrition therapist, coach, friend, or advisor on a regular basis to keep you grounded. These people can help you though the periods of self-doubt and instability. We all need someone to lean on and support us through the bumpy parts.

This week I will focus on a few tips to help you become more successful with single women:In these days and times it's becoming harder and harder being a smoker. It's almost come to the point that you are a social outcast if you smoke. If you are a smoker, you might consider quitting smoking to help you attract more single women and I'll tell you why. There are many single women who will not be interested in you because you smoke. Yes, it's a sad fact of life that there are women who will not date men who smoke.This is what I call the "Wolf Pack" method of meeting and succeeding with single women. This method works great at nightclubs, bars, beaches, etc. Here's how it works: You're going to be teaming up with a buddy to approach single women who are by themselves. Why does this give you an advantage? Because she's less likely to reject t

With a computer, high speed internet service, fax machine and telephone, many people can and do run quite substantial businesses right from their homes. If that includes you, you've probably heard you can take a deduction for a home office, but you may also have heard that this is an automatic "red flag" for the IRS to audit your return. You may be wondering if the deduction worth the risk.My advice: If you qualify, take the deduction.QualifyingTo qualify for the home office deduction, you must have a part of the home which is used exclusively and regularly for doing business. This could be seeing clients or storing inventory. It even includes performing administrative or management functions, provided there's no other place of business where you do those things. So, for example, if you do most of your work in an office in the back of you

TAKE A RISK
Change requires us to move from our smaller, confined circle of comfort to one that is larger and more expansive. The edges of the smaller comfort zone need to be faced. Like Columbus sailing off to explore the edge of the ocean, you too are exploring unknown (and feared unsafe) new territory. Choose what feels right for you to safely feel the stretch of growth. Ask yourself each week, "What risk have I taken?" “What success have I experienced?” Make it okay to be a beginner again. It's how we grow and transform. You will inspire others and find strengths you never knew you had.
CREATE A RITUAL TO HONOR THE CHANGE
Take the time to symbolically acknowledge the journey you are on. It is a stage of growth, new learning’s, and a new attitude. A ritual can be anything metaphorical that has meaning to you. Perhaps it might be setting something free, cleaning your closet, throwing out your diet books, a celebration of the journey with friends, or even listing all the things that have been holding you back upon little strips of paper and burning them. Take physical action in your life to acknowledge the path you are moving along and to open up to new possibilities that await you just around the corner. Simple daily rituals that nurture your soul will respect the transition that you are in. A ritual may help you close a door that needs to be closed. Honor what has come before, learn from it, and let it go. Acknowledge the present, and give thanks for your future. Receive support from your higher self.
EXERCISE
TRANSITIONAL OBJECT
It might help to carry with you a transitional object that reminds you of your success so far, and helps keeps your vision on your overall goal. The object could be something you touch that reminds you of your journey. Or it could be an item that provides comfort. Think of a baby holding onto a teddy bear or a favorite blanket. Or the function of rosary beads. Link your sense of touch to the feeling of success. Touch, stroke, or handle your item with each small (or large) sense of achievement. Then when you gain strength to go on, touching your object again will remind you of your goal. Here’s a list of potential transitional objects you could easily carry in your pocket or on your body:
Small smooth stone
Crystal
Special necklace
Ring for your finger
Sea shell
Symbolic lapel pin
