Winning is All that Counts"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s ongoing stress, domestic disputes, never-ending challenges, workplace conflicts with managers, or &#8220;the system&#8221;, it all comes down to this:<\/p>\n<p>What do you gain from the aftermath of the battle?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to walk away with your self-respect.\u00a0 You can do this if you can exit at the right time.<\/p>\n<p>When all is said and done and the battle degenerates to the point where you want nothing more than to win, you will probably feel broken and humiliated.<\/p>\n<p>After the battle, the words to use are:<\/p>\n<p>Unfair advantage, spitefulness, deception, and resentment.<\/p>\n<p>DO THIS:<\/p>\n<p>Practice energetic protection often, daily, and whenever you feel vulnerable.\u00a0 Allow this protective energy to surround and care for you through support and boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>An easy but effective protective method is to cut the Cords.\u00a0 Spiritually cut the cords surrounding you from conversations, activities, relationships, past lives, etc.<\/p>\n<p>To cut the Cords, close your eyes to visualize where these cords may be located around you.\u00a0 With the outer edge of your hand, reach out and slice the cords so that they fall away.<\/p>\n<p>MEDITATION:<\/p>\n<p>Settle yourself in a quiet, safe place.\u00a0 As you breathe in deeply, a glowing light surrounds your body.<\/p>\n<p>Your inbreaths bring healing, protection, and peace.\u00a0 Your outbreaths release toxins and negativity that are sstuck in your body.\u00a0 This inbreathing and outbreathing brings peace, protection, and soothing properties.\u00a0 As the breath goes, so goes the tension.\u00a0 The inbreaths bring deeper peace and protection.<\/p>\n<p>If you are aware of any place in your body that feels uncomfortable, give it permission to relax.\u00a0 Your breathing soothes stiffness and stress.<\/p>\n<p>Take a couple of special breaths where you send the healing air to those body parts that are still stressed.\u00a0 Remind your body that this is the time to be at peace, at ease, and to heal.<\/p>\n<p>You see a heaing pink light coming toward you.\u00a0 As it floats into your space, it moves and surrounds you.\u00a0 You feel a wave of this healing light relaxing you.\u00a0 You notice your muscles letting go as they become loose and relax.\u00a0 Your mind clears.<\/p>\n<p>You are in a protective space which cancels negativity.<\/p>\n<p>You know that you can return to this space whenever you want.\u00a0 This protection is available for you anytime you call it in.<\/p>\n<p>You feel refreshed now.\u00a0 Your muscles and nerves are relaxed now.\u00a0 Your eyes are refreshed.\u00a0 You know you are protected, healed, and loved.<\/p>\n<p>This space is available to you any time you want to return to it.<\/p>\n<p><a
