On this independence day, as I think about the blessing of having so many freedoms, I can’t help but think about times in my own life when my mind was in chains and I wasn’t truly free.

Negative thoughts had a hold on my very soul and I was continually making decisions based on a faulty set of beliefs.

Is your mind free?

If you aren’t sure, ask yourself these questions:

- Do I believe that I am enough?

- Do I berate myself when I make a mistake?

- Do I expect so much of myself that I always come up short?

- Do I ruminate in something that went wrong for days and days or hours and hours?

- Do I feel like a failure?

- Do I have trouble finding and staying in the present moment?

If you answered yes to even some part of these questions, your mind might be in chains.

I have to be on constant alert for my negative mind to return and start running things again. By the grace of God, I have discovered a healing path so that I know exactly what to do when I start answering “yes” to these questions.

Consistent healing practices can allow your mind to become free.(Read a supporting article here.)Practices like: reading uplifting or spiritual content every day, eating health-filled foods, writing thoughts in a journal, praying, meditating, yoga or other movement, and being in service to others.

While this might sound like a lot to do in your already busy day, it can be done in 40 minutes or less.

It could look like this:

5 am: Wake up and drink 8 ounces of water

5:05 am: Read 5 minutes of a spiritual or uplifting text

5:10am: Journal whatever is on your mind (when we get it out, it can no longer control us)

5:15am: 15 minutes of yoga or movement

5:35: 5 minute meditation

Boom! By 5:40am you are done with healing practices that can save your life.(More research to back this up here.)Literally. If 5 am is too early for you, change these times to whatever times work for you! We all make so many excuses for why we can’t fit these healing practices into our life.

Here is what I have found with myself and for clients that I have worked with: when it matters to you, when you literally know that it is life or death, you can fit anything into your life that matters.

Make no mistake, if your mind is not free, it is a matter of life and death.

When I sit with my patients who are at the end of their lives, they all say that life went by quickly.

You can choose to become free. You don’t have to allow the negativity and chaos of life to rob you of the God-given peace that can be yours.

This world needs you to show up at your best self, not someone who has allowed negative thinking to run the show.

Be the change that you wish to see in this world. We start by changing ourselves and our behaviors.

Begin today. If the above routine was too much, do just one thing on that list. Add another next week. Find your freedom. I can’t promise that everything will be perfect after trying this routine one time. I can promise that it is worth the effort and small steps each and every day stack up over time. Research shows that consistency in your healing is what produces the results.

Sending you a million boatloads of love on this Independence Day. Go out and find the freedom you seek.

Love,

Rachel
