Mice and Cherry Blossoms

Although the Mice and Cherry Blossoms study is not new, some may not have heard of it, and results of the study were very interesting. The study has to do with fear, memories, and past generations, according to New Scientist the study was done by Brian Dias at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. You may be wondering why we would be writing about a scientific study on this site but keep on reading you will see why.

The mice cherry blossom fear study has to do with Epigenetics which we have written about on this site before as well as fear. The study if very technical so we will let you read it yourself, but will summarize it the best we can. Mice were exposed to alarming stimuli while being exposed to the scent of cherry blossoms as well. Future generations of mice whose parent or grandparents were part of this study were also fearful of the scent of cherry blossoms without being part of the study. This study showed that memories or in this case fear can be passed from generation to generation, in fact up to several generations back.

Since the Mice and Cherry blossoms study there have been more studies in this area, however not being scientists we will stick with this study. Fear is one of the most powerful motivators and most of the time individuals are not motivated in a positive direction. Picture this, if your grandparents or great grandparent were exposed to debt, struggle, trauma, poor financial situations it is possible that these may have been passed to you. Let’s take the area of money, if your ancestors lived through the depression, had trouble making money, or had a lack of financial stability, this could be the reason you may be struggling today. It does make complete sense; if it can happen to mice it could happen to humans which would explain why so many people struggle with so many different things.

Now, don’t get us wrong here, along with DNA being passed from generations to generations there may be more factors involved, however the results of this studies and others that have emerged cannot be ignored. So where are we going with all this? Well, Dawn Clark Recode DNA wealth has released a new book that she is currently offering at no charge.

Evaluate Your Life Day
October 19 is Evaluate Your Life Day 2015 while many seem to not like the day others seem to embrace it. This day is a day to reflect on where you are at in your life, are you accomplishing all that you have wanted in your family life, social life, financial life and so on. To some this day may seem a bit too serious but if you are less than pleased with some area of your life this day may be a great time to figure out why.

We believe that Life Evaluation is not a bad thing; we also believe it should not be confined to just one day. When it is time to evaluate life one just knows, either something is not going right, they are unhappy, or things just seem a bit unbalanced. Taking stock of what you have and what you desire in the future is not to “serious” as some say and does not have to be a scary thing, however just like everything else moderation is key. If you find yourself evaluating life decisions far too often then you need to give yourself a break and look forward not back, if you consider yourself in a “bad” place then using this day to reflect and focus on your what is good.

Evaluate Your Life Day is not a day to be harsh on yourself, it is a time to lovingly accept where you are and create where you want to be. To move you along the right path here are some great quotes about reevaluating life:

Take a step back, evaluate what is important, and enjoy life. – Teri Garr

“You are the only common denominator in everything that has happened to you in life, be it good or bad. To learn/grow from these experiences, you must accept the role you played in each of them. ― A.C. Anderson

“It takes courage…to endure the sharp pains of self-discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.” ― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”

“Evaluate what you want – because what gets measured gets produced.”- James A. Belasco

“I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestioning ability of man to evaluate his life by a conscious endeavor” – Henry David Thoreau

“A Truthful Evaluation Of Yourself Gives Feedback For Growth and Success”― Brenda Johnson Padgitt

Some things you can do to gauge where you want to be is to take a life evaluation quiz or complete life evaluation questionnaire. If you find those options to impersonal simply start by making a grateful list of all the wonderful things you have from the food you eat to the people in your life. Next make a Desires List what do you truly want to flow into your life, is it more happiness, if so what makes you happy? Do you desire a new home or a child, whatever it make be write it out, and write it out in two ways:
- I desire the white house on 2^nd street
- I am grateful I live on the white house on 2^nd street
By doing you this you can picture in your mind what you desire and what it is like being in that place or having that thing.

Need Vs Want Vs Desire
The need vs want vs desire actions and thoughts are ones that everyone has, these thoughts and actions are what makes tasks easy, difficult, and even unbearable. To align your thoughts and actions to make your life less stressful one must understand the difference between all three of the areas.

According to Dictionary.com the Definition of Need – (noun) a requirement, necessary duty, or obligation (verb) to be under an obligation or to have need of; require. The definition of Want- (Noun) A lack or deficiency of something; (verb) to feel a need or a desire for. The definition of Desire- (Noun) A strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen; a yearning; a longing; a craving; an aspiration (verb) to strongly wish for something. By taking into account the definitions of each the thoughts and actions one to should choose are those of desire, by choosing this path you will have the least resistance.

Now if you have ever been in therapy or have read any personal development books you are probably familiar that many suggest you have want thoughts and actions and not need. By wanting something you feel like it is something that is not a necessity or a pain. However by evaluating the definitions above you can see that when it comes to need vs want vs desire the teaching of want vs need loses its effectiveness. Now let’s break away from semantics for a moment and just put the thoughts and sayings to the test say these aloud:

I need more money

I want more money

I desire more money

Did you see any difference when you said them aloud? For example, did you feel a sense of unease when you said “need” did you feel better when you said “want” or “desire”, or did you feel nothing at all? Most of the time when the need actions or thoughts come up there is a feeling of lack, because when you need something you don’t have it. However when it comes to want vs desire (definition aside) some people feel the difference less resistance when saying or doing something they desire, because many times when people want something it is because they do not have it as well.

So what do you do, Do you word to change need thoughts to want thoughts or desire thoughts? We would say whatever feels best; if you say the word need do you feel a lack and do you feel the same when you feel want? Or do you feel the same with all of them? This can be a sticky area for people when it comes to thought changing so here is what we do:
1. We stay away from need
2. We are flexible when we want something because sometimes we just want a new pair of shoes when we already has them , while other times we want a house on an island which we do not have
3. We embrace desire, we shift to desire whenever we can for feel a sense of discomfort with a thought or action that was need or want based
4. We do not overthink it, and this is key the more you say “no I don’t need it I desire it” you are putting pressure on yourself so work on shifting your thoughts gently
If you put into practice shifting your thoughts to whatever feels best for you for at least one month, it will become natural. A great way to start this is to start writing twice a day morning and night. In the morning write all the things you desire, and at night write all the thoughts or actions you did during the day that were want or need based and write them as a desire for example:

I desire to take out the trash because I love it when my house it clean and sanitary

If you have any additional tips or techniques that you use when it comes to need vs want vs desire we would love to hear them, please leave us a comment that we can share with our readers.

Death of Wayne Dyer – Honoring His Memory

We were deeply saddened to hear about the death of Wayne Dyer, if you have not heard already he died late Saturday or early Sunday morning of a heart attack. Wayne was incredible in the self-improvement and self-help arena and his is going to be missed by all who were helped by his incredible insights, books, and so much more that he contributed.

Many are honoring Wayne in different ways, Hay House is offering the opportunity to watch The Shift for free and they are offering all his eBooks on Amazon for 1.99. Wayne Dyer books include The Power of Intention, I Can See Clearly Now, Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life, and several more.

The Healing with the Masters Teleseminar which Wayne appeared on in the past are having a very special tribute to him. Jennifer Mclean and many of the speakers in this season knew Wayne Dyer well so Instead of what they were planning to do they are going to be replaying the “best of” Wayne Dyer workshop shows from previous seasons of Healing With The Masters, to honor his life and work.

Although we did not know Dr. Wayne Dyer personally, we know his work well and his teachings are some of the most powerful that have come along in years. He made incredible contributions through his books, lectures, live presentations and more. If you are a fan and have not read his latest book “I Can See Clearly Now.” It is wonderful and truly inspiring and we recommend it.

Although after hearing about death of Wayne Dyer we were grief stricken his death was a reminder to hold close what you cherish. It was time for him to leave his body but his incredible teachings remain, reminding us to change our thoughts, live in the present, and inspire like he inspired so many. If you know of anyone or anything that we have not noted above about how others are honor Wayne Dyer’s memory please comment below and let us know
