Mind your Mind....

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will even forget what you did, but people will never forget how YOU made them feel..."--Maya Angelou
   Hi Friends! Today i would like to touch base on how powerful our minds and thoughts truly are. I for one am trying to be a positive person through thick and thin....often very hard to do. But our Minds have a lot of power when it comes to everything we do on a daily task. We focus and think on the negative....well then that is what you'll get....focus on positive and that's what ya get...understand? This is all my personal opinions from life situations. Moving on lets talk about the subconscious mind we ALL have but few use lol....

   WE have the power to create the kind of life you want, simply by directing your subconscious mind.
But most people don’t know how to direct their subconscious mind so they have more of what they want. Instead, you may be (unknowingly) directing your subconscious to bring more of what you don’t want. Let me explain how your subconscious mind works.
To understand what your subconscious mind is creating you need to know your beliefs and your regular thoughts.
You subconscious mind gets its directions or instructions from your mind, your thoughts, and your beliefs.
It is what you believe, what you truly feel is real, how you view life and what you consider to be the truth about your life and the world that your subconscious mind creates.
For example: if you believe that it’s difficult to find a job or meet someone then your subconscious mind may guide you to the people, situations and opportunities so that you have a difficult time finding a job or meeting someone.
You may say the wrong thing in an interview, put the wrong thing on a cover letter, pursue the wrong kind of people for a relationship, do the wrong things when you meet someone, etc.
In many ways you may end up sabotaging your chances.
While you truly want to get a job, meet someone, or achieve any other goal, you won’t succeed because you don’t believe you can, you don’t regularly think you can, you don’t regularly feel you can and you think it’s difficult to achieve what you want.
Now I know this isn’t what you want.
You want to enjoy a better life.
So what can you do to turn the tide?
How do you stop the negative spiral?
Start with your thoughts.
Think about your goals.
Write them down.
Then start tracking your thoughts about these goals.
Write down what you come up with.
Do you think you can achieve them?
Do you think you will succeed?
If you don’t think you can, then why not?
What are some of the obstacles you may face?
What are some of the hurdles you see?
Write down everything you come up with.
Then go about your day, do what you have to do and when ever you think about a particular goal, make a note of the thoughts you have that come up.
Go back to your list and update it regularly.
Any negative thoughts that you come up with should be removed, or replaced.
Change them, get rid of them as quickly as possible.
Create thoughts that empower you, thoughts that allow you to succeed and enjoy your life.
Negative thoughts and negative beliefs may create a negative life. They might destroy any chance of success.
You cannot succeed and enjoy life with chronic negative thinking.
Remember, your subconscious mind follows your thoughts and beliefs. It sees them as instructions and simply follows them.
Your subconscious mind can be your great partner in success, when you give it the right care & instructions.
This is all my opinons and observations, I am no expert...But I do have a degree in LIFE lol.
      On to today's affirmation about our "inner voice"......
                                            "My intuition is my guide"

I now trust my intuition and let it guide me in enhancing every area of my life. Today I will pay attention to the voice inside, my intuitive self. I will take time to listen, to evaluate and to act appropriately.
My Intuition is a GIFT that bestows knowledge on me when I need it. Right Ideas are always available and waiting in my consciousness to be used for my good. I often silenced my inner voice....as a child my intuition kept me safe and at the same time urged me to express myself. In adulthood I will no longer live with this double bind. So today I welcome my inner knowing and listen attentively. Today I appreciate the creative ideas my intuition brings.....
Thanks Friends for visiting my spot in this big world :-) PLEASE feel free to express your thoughts and such I always like to hear from YOU ALL. Blessings! ---Dennis

Dogs are better than medicine!!

Good day friends! I am blogging today about dogs and how they are more than just great pets and family members. I have posted photos of my dogs<kids> for you all to see who I come home to daily. After a tough day these three sweeties are at the door with a loving greet. 

  A recent UK study reveals that owning a dog is good for your health. And having a pet dog improves your physical and mental wellbeing more than having a cat.

This is the conclusion of a study by a senior lecturer, Dr Deborah Wells, from the Canine Behaviour Centre of Queens University, Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Dr Wells has published her study in theBritish Journal of Health Psychology.

The study is a review of research papers that have explored the connection between domestic dog ownership and human wellbeing. In her research Dr Wells found papers that suggest domestic dog ownership can prevent people from getting ill, recover more quickly when they do fall ill, and give warning of early signs of cancer, seizures and hypoglycaemia.

She also explored the research into dogs and human psychological health, including the therapeutic role that dogs play in aiding the disabled and also in hospitals, prisons and residential homes.

An Israeli research paper said it was likely that animal companions helped people withschizophrenia feel motivated and calmer. And another UK study suggested that the companionship of a dog helped children with chronic illnesses endure painful treatments.

Some of the evidence was found to be weak, but in other areas Dr Wells found strong evidence to suggest that dog owners have lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and are less likely to have minor and serious health problems.

In one paper dated 1985, Dr Wells found that dog owners had an 8.6 higher one year survival rate after a heart attack compared to people who did not have a dog.

Dr Wells suggests there could be a number of reasons for the health benefits of dog ownership. There is the more obvious direct effect of increased physical activity, but then there are also indirect effects such as that brought by increased social contact and the possibility that the human-dog bond provides a psychological buffer against stress.

                                                                      AFFIRMATION FOR TODAY
                                                                "You are you're own work of art"
                                                   Today reflect upon the meaning of your life.
 Harbor within a vision of your  most perfect self, a dream of what you could become.
Today pursue this vision and work toward making your dream a reality.
In this way, you will give meaning to your life. Like an artist painting a picture, pause,
step back from the canvas and consider what needs to be done.
This will be a day of reflection. As you pursue to make your life a work of art,
so may these moments of contemplation help you to turn back to the canvas
of life to paint a portrait of your most perfect self.
This day and everyday hereafter,  hold before your eyes the vision of what your becoming.
Thanks friends, Dennis

Comparing cat and dog ownership, Dr Wells found evidence that people who take cats and dogs from rescue centres reported reductions in minor health problems such as headaches, dizzy spells and colds as soon as one month after taking their new companion home. However, it was only those people who had taken dogs, as opposed to cats, that still had the improved health conditions up to ten months later.

From ME to YOU:-)

Hello Friends, I have much I could touch base on, but not today. War is something that has been on my mind today...due to it's everywhere. One can't even turn on the television these days without war propaganda and such. I have friends in the military and this is not to single out any one person, but rather tell you my opinion on  war in general. I don't think War is EVER necessary.... There is something called open communication.... When we hear of peace talks in the middle east and so forth...do we ever see peace? NO! Why peace talks then....propaganda of course... Example.... The world has been breathing down Iran's neck about sup
posedly having nuclear weapons yet Israel actually does have nukes and our U.S. media conveniently does not mention it yet it focuses on Iran and Syria lately especially. Look what happened to Libya....the propaganda machine told us all it was going to be peaceful and now look what happened to the largest oil reserve in Africa I think it's a little coincidental that it is one of the largest oil reserves in the world and yet we supposedly went there for peace but instead destroyed it like we did Iraq and soon Iran and Syria my point is this is nonsense we are all humans on this earth brothers and sisters no matter what race sex Creed religion we are all humans war is not an option ever! that's all I choose to say about war for right now I am very strong opinions about this subject Below is a video watch it and then you see if you feel the same about war in general. 1 thing I want to make clear I am NOT against defending our nation I am against invading other nations where we do not belong. Especially for propaganda false reasons good example is Iraq and their so called weapons of mass destruction that they did not have..

Thanks for stopping by friends:-)  --Dennis

Only blog I am ever doing about this!

"If only you could delete feelings the same way you delete text messages." unknown

Today Friends I am touching base on Fibromyalgia, due to yesterday's blog. The two videos Here are to not only help bring awareness but most importantly help people to understand such a monster that some of us deal with. I suggest watching the second video first and then the top/first video. the bottom video gives a slight definition as well as a little information. The top video is an example of another person that suffers from this as every person with fibromyalgia suffers somewhat differently.

I hope this blog... Though short... Helps show you and give a better understanding of this monster named Fibromyalgia.

Thanks Friends! Dennis

Feel free to follow/share/comment:-)

Hi friends, Not much of an eventful day..woke up early to just cold temps outside.As the day came along we got nailed with a butt ton of snow....my 7yr old nephew said (oh no! uncle Dennis its a blizzard outside, a real one!) As he said it so serious...all I could do was chuckle inside. I am truly blessed to have him...I love him just as my own son. Speaking of children my three Dog kids....Rex, Rucca, and Buster, have been getting very good at the art of manipulation lol. Lately they all three run to the backdoor, which means potty time...normally... BUT like I said lately, I will open the back door to let them out to go potty and they will be back inside in literally 2 seconds and automatically expect a treat and NOT go potty...so they think in there little minds that if they go outside they automatically get a treat and dad (me) falls for it LoL! My fault for spoiling them too much, but I wanted to share just a bit about their con games they attempt with me lol. Rucca is the 9 yr old Dalmatian, Rex who is 5 & Buster who is 6 are both teacup Chihuahuas....so yea quite the Lil mix of personalities w/my dog kids lol.
    Yesterday I did my normal Yoga session & I can honestly say it is starting to work. When I say its working.... I am not anywhere as stiff as usual and my muscles seem much less tense than before I started the yoga sessions.  There is a lot more I have noticed but I will save that for a blog devoted to yoga only:-)
In the beginning I only started Yoga due to the fact my neurologist said it is beneficial for people who have & suffer from Fibromyalgia
although Now I think it would benefit all folks. Speaking of the Fibromyalgia, today someone very dear to me actually had the nerve to tell me (all I want is pity!) Because I have posted on Facebook about this monster disease and how it affects my daily life..SO apparently I want pity from people for posting about MY issue....Point is not only did it piss me off majorly but really hurt more than anything....its already a difficult health issue to even live with...let alone someone who I thought cared, saying such an evil remark like that. SO FOR THE RECORD I DON'T WANT PITY! I WANT SOME UNDERSTANDINGeverything I could even the census stuff for drops still bothered by that remark, but I have to just let it go & realize who is true to me in my personal life and who isn't. Moving on...and yes I know I go from one subject to the next lol sorry but that's how I'm wired:-)  Something I want to make mention of is Terramater botanicals.....last summer I battled fleas with the dogs like ww3...I used everything I could, even the expensive drops. Well I finally had enough of the fleas, so I went into The Owl Creek Gazette Magazine office because I knew they carried some products from TerraMater Botanicals.....I found some flea products that was all natural....so I figured what the heck won't hurt to give it a try. So I purchased a bag for only a few bucks. Got home used it on the dogs and everywhere else lol....Now a year later I STILL have not seen a flea since I used Terra Mater's Flea repellent herbs. So friends with pets I HIGHLY recommend ordering this...especially with spring on it's way. You can order it at terramatermarket.com OR local folks can easily go to The Owl Creek Gazette office on south second street, if you purchase from there you will see much more TerraMater products as well as Owl Creek Gazette items AND get yourself a copy of The Current issue of The Owl Creek Gazette.... which is a FREE publication! Free is the best price folks:-)  You will love the magazine...as each month's issue is unique, informative, fun,and so much more. You can check them out at WWW.owlcreekgazette. com From that website you can read the current issue  also checkout their archive of ALL issues of The Owl Creek Gazette Magazine. I personally suggest you buy a subscription so that each month this awesome magazine is sent directly to you! For the business owners, this  magazine also have amazing Ad rates...their rates are the best I have ever heard of. So check them out too.
Well that's the last of my crazy ramble for today friends. Feel free to
comment,follow,share, my blog:-)  Thanks --Dennis

From the desk today

"When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another."---Helen Keller


Hi friends, busy day today in the life of Dennis lol. Something I want to touch base on is a website called Ripoffreport.com, This site claims to be devoted to protecting consumers, business,etc. basically like a background check site. Well it was brought to my attention today by a Facebook friend that not only is the website very unprofessional but also allows Lies, Slander, and other unethical things to be posted as FACTS. I know we have FREE speech but Slander and Lies is not something that should be allowed on a site that claims validity in any way shape or form. My point is You or anyone can fall prey to lies and slander on the site....for example a scorn lover putting up lies and then the site putting it out to be FACT when the victim that has been slandered and lied about actually has Physical proof that the allegations against her on Ripoffreport.com are complete FALSE....if the site is supposed to be legitimate whatsoever, this would not be allowed with out SOLID proof of the allegations at hand. Below is the video of the victim Robin Savage, she is a Facebook friend of mine that has been horribly affected in many ways by this ignorant tabloid site. All who watch this go to The ripoffreport.com site and DEMAND it to be taken down. This has even affected her personal and professional life. From my research this is just one of many many victims of the site.


Affirmation for today, for you and me :-)
  Acceptance:
     Each day gives me a new opportunity to express the perfection which is within me. With this realization in mind, I bless EVERY individual I encounter. I now release all old negative images and thoughts and refuse to give them any power. They are burdensome and have no place in my life. Today I replace the old images and thoughts with perfect acceptance of all that I am.


Other news friends check out TerraMaterBotanicals.com THIS is the best place to get Herbs and a whole lot of natural things that YOU will benefit from. I did my Yoga session today and I can feel such a positive shift starting already...i recommend Yoga exercise to all of you. In conclusion, thank you for visiting my blog feel free to share and I always Love your feedback and comments.----dennis
