How to Open Your Heart to Love
Find it difficult to open your heart? If happens when you cut off your feelings. It could be that you have been dealing with life mostly from your head. There is a certain disconnection about you that others can sense. Others may even call you cold. You believe it to be mostly true for you do not recall shedding a tear even while watching the most tragic scene in the Titanic movie.
“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.”
– Oscar Wilde
Very likely, your difficulty stems from past trauma. You have been hurt real bad previously. So your resourceful subconscious mind protects you with a shield around your heart. It is so thick that little love can penetrate through.

101 Ways to Love Your Life
When you love your life, everything works. You become happy. There is a skip in your walk, a song in your heart, a shine in your aura, a joy in your being. Others are attracted to you. You find yourself supported by the universe. Success, invariably, becomes easy.
(See Tip #100 below)
Just imagine if the opposite is true.
Life appears bleak and that there is nothing to live for. And you believe that you are right in holding on to the pessimistic view: your life sucks. You have enough evidence to prove that life has little or no meaning. Everything has been a struggle so far.

Life Tip: My Wish For You
“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, love to complete your life.”
– Lynnie Buttercup
Dear friend,
I wish you nothing but the best of what life can offer. If life has been a struggle, a dread or a disappointment for you, then things are about to change. There is no need to fear.
I see you. I feel your despair, sorrow and pain. Just like you, I have my difficulties, doubts and problems. I have encountered situations when courage has failed me. I have felt my spirit sank.
And one fine day, I realized that I was not alone. The Universe started sending Earth Angels and Earth Mother, in response to my heartfelt wish. And so, through its special messengers, I have been enjoying comfort, smiles, rainbows, laughter, sunsets, hugs, beauty, friendships, faith, confidence, courage, patience and most of all, love.
Hence, it is not money that I wish most for you. But aspects of love that connects, transforms and heal. They may not be what you are expecting but will be just what you need. In case you miss the signs, take a look around. Be open to the many unexpected ways of how blessings may arrive for you. You are worthy in every way.
Just a note, my wishes often do come true 🙂 Watch your life change when you make the same wish for yourself and others too. In fact, the more you believe in wishes, the more resounding support you get from the Universe.
Abundance always,
Author. Adventurer. Life Coach. More About Me.

Demi Moore: Lessons On Self-Love
“What scares me is that I’m going to ultimately find out that at the end of my life that I’m really not lovable, that I’m not worthy of being loved. That there’s something fundamentally wrong with me…and that I wasn’t wanted in the first place.” – Demi Moore

It is an annual problem because you have run out of ideas. You have been wondering what Christmas gifts you should buy this year for your loved ones and friends. Although you are spoiled for choice, it can be hard to generate new ideas year-after-year.

Abundance Alchemical Magic in A Bottle
Fancy some alchemical oils as a gift for yourself or your loved one? I recently had the pleasure of receiving a complimentary bottle from Michelle McGrath in Australia. We had earlier gotten to know each other over Facebook, due to similar interests. I found out that she runs an online shop selling alchemical oils that not only helps others raise their energetic vibrations but with a special focus on self-love, abundance and alchemy (and as you already know, three of my favorite subjects).
3 Limiting Beliefs That Create Self-Doubt
Have you ever been told messages that caused you tremendous self-doubt? I certainly have received my fair share. At various points in my life, I have been told by naysayers, skeptics and even those with outdated ideas that I am not suitable or cut out to do something.
I have internalized some of the messages. A number of them became my beliefs. Shrouded in fear because of these beliefs, I stopped myself from living freely. It took me quite some time to break free.

How to Overcome Self Doubt
Self doubt happens when you have little belief in yourself. There is an inner lack of faith and confidence. You are not able to claim your own accomplishments, even when due. You feel like an imposter, a fraud and a cheat. You deem yourself as unworthy of any kind of praise, accolades or validation; although you are deserving.
When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.
It does not matter that others may think highly of you. What counts is the perception and evaluation of your own capability. You very much doubt in your own ability or power to garner required resources or support.
