It’s not always easy to focus on what people are saying, especially if we know that person well. We think we have heard it before, or we know what they are going to say before they say it, and we turn off. We do that even with really interesting people too, because it is so hard to concentrate our minds to be still and to listen.
The great thing is that there is a solution to this problem. Take a breath and bring your mind back to the moment. Even in the middle of someone talking, as soon as you realize that your mind has wandered, just take a breath in and focus back onto what they are saying. Do this all day today and make it into a habit. Being in the moment is about living life to the full. Being in your head is about making stuff up. As always, it’s your choice. Live in your head in the past or future, or live in the real moment now. Rock N Roll Jeff & Val

What is a healthy boundary? Some people like to stand very close, and others like to be at a distance. Where are you? What kind of a boundary do you have when you talk with people? What kind of a boundary do you have with your friends, family and co-workers. Depending on where you boundary is, can be the difference between leading a happy, fulfilled life, and leading one of insecurity and paranoia.
So here’s a process that you can do whatever kind of boundary you set up for yourself. Imagine a golden shield around yourself. All you have to do is visualize it for a split second and it will be there….and it will last for as long as you want it to be there. And what this golden shield will do is create love and acceptance flowing in to you and flowing out from you.
It’s a wonderful visualization technique that really works. It stops negativity from others and stops your own negative thoughts from being sent. It’s great protection and it’s a great way to create positive energy. Rock N Roll Jeff & Val

Everything in life is an opportunity for being amazing. I am reminded of this every day. It is always a choice…my choice on how I want to view things. Do I want to view my life as full of opportunities, or full of limitations.
Because it is so easy to make excuses. This is why I didn’t do this. This is why I didn’t follow my dream. The reason I didn’t get that done is because…. there are so many excuses that it really doesn’t even make sense to make them anymore. Because as soon as we hear ourselves sayiing or thinking, “The reason is….” Then we know we are just making another excuse for not doing something.
Opportunity doesn’t care about reasons. Opportunity cares only about results. What are you going to do today that will create the results you want in your life. What small change of habit is going to steer you in a different direction, in the direction you want to go? What action are you going to take that is going to help you realize your dreams and your goals? So just for today…let’s do it. No more excuses or reasons….just results! Rock N Roll Jeff & Val

It is a recurring theme for me. Reminding myself that it is my choice to think the thoughts that I think. It is so easy to go down the path of thinking negative thoughts, and having unkind thoughts about myself and others. So today is a good day to remind ourselves that circumstances beyond our control happen. And when they do, our job is to let go of the control. We cannot control circumstances but we can control our thoughts about them.
So when projects get stuck, or goals seem unreachable, or ideas don’t materialize into reality, give yourself a break. It is just life offering up a different way to do things. Maybe the way is better, maybe the way is not, maybe what you thought would happen is not meant to happen. Whatever the circumstances, we must look upon them as a diversion. Another way not to do it. A cross roads and nothing more. A choice to have good thoughts regardless of what is going on. And that is where our true power lies–not necessarily to change the events, but to change how we view them and come up with a new and fresh perspective. Rock N Roll Val & Jeff
