Monkey Chatter be Gone!!!

Ever had your mind wander down a rabbit hole that got your blood boiling or caused anxiety?

We all have had this at some point in time. How do we manage our monkey mind in times of great stress or change? How do we calm our mind and stop the random chatter, fear, and distortions that come with the monkey chatter?

Well, there are some really great tools we can use when faced in times of trials and monkey chatter has gone wild! Lets' take a look at some of these practical tools for our spiritual tool chest.

1. Using Byron Katie's Simple 4-Question Approach: This approach asks us to answer four simple questions which help us transform fear and worry into possibility and inspired action. Her work is world-renowned and is a great tool for the spiritual tool kit. The goal is to realize the TRUTH about what is really going on and realize that our Monkey Chatter has taken us off the road of possibility and into a realm of fear and anxiety. Here are the four questions and a link for more information.

   1. Is it true?

   2. Can you absolutely know that it’s true?

   3. How do you react when you believe that thought?

   4. Who would you be without the thought?

2. Meditation is always a great option. Meditation may seem a little "wuwu" for some, but there is scientific evidence on the value of meditation on stress, anxiety and productivity.

   There are so many great guided meditations out there as well as the meditations on Transformed Souls. Additionally, here are some amazing meditations that we highly recommend. a. Transformed Souls YouTube Channel Meditations b. The Harmony Exercise by Rev. John Denney c. Inner Light Meditations with Angela Ribeiro
   

3. Spiritual Coaching

   Spending time with a spiritual coach can be extraordinarily beneficial. Let me share my story as an example.

It was 2008 and the financial crises was in full swing. During this time, both my financial and family life was crumbling before my very eyes. I had three children and ended up going through a difficult divorce that would not end for years. I didn't know this at the time, but felt the pressure and stress of raising three kids and re-inventing my life without my husband. I realized I couldn't do it alone. I reached out for help to a spiritual coach. I met with her for two years every week whether I wanted to or not. You see, I was compelled to never be in that situation again. And so, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery. The reality was, I was just outpicturing the fear inside with all my circumstances. Everything could have been different, however, I had inside work to do. After the two years, my life completely turned around. It was unrecognizable. From food stamps and struggling to buy diapers, to living on a 10 acre farm and loving life. I had physical healings as well.

The benefits of allowing your spirit to grow are unbelievably powerful. It just takes a moment to make the choice to finally stop the drama, the chaos, the financial stress. I chose me. Now, you have the opportunity to choose you. What will you choose is dependent upon your desires....are you ready for peace, true peace? Let's go.

Peace be with you, now.
