Clean and Clear Your Mind and Heart 

There are several little (and often little-known) tips I've found make life easier.  One is to bring in the Hawaiian healing practice of reconciliation and forgiveness called, Ho'oponopono. The word translates to correction in English.  This practice can quickly lead you to a cleared state of peace and contentment, and it's especially helpful if you're experiencing a problem with another person.

The steps I like to use are:

1. Observe your thoughts and feelings and realize they are inside YOU, not the person who may have triggered them.
2. Clear out this unpleasant and unwanted feeling by saying four sentences to yourself.  You may repeat these several times.
   1. I Love You
   2. I'm Sorry
   3. Please Forgive Me
   4. Thank You
3. Notice your mood as if you are looking on from outside your body.  Has it shifted and improved a bit?
4. If necessary, go back to clearing by repeating a few more times.
5. What action are you inspired to take?  This cleaning process is free, easy, and will open your mind to new possibilities.

I love to use character strengths in my work with clients.  Four are exercised here.  Love, Humility, Forgiveness, and Gratitude.  To find out what your top strengths are, take the free survey at ​https://www.viacharacter.org/survey/pro/lauriecurtis/Account/Register
