Choice—it’s something many of us forget we have. The choices we make are bricks, bricks that can be used to pave a road heading towards our goals or away from them. But making the right choice isn’t always easy. It takes alignment. It takes affirmation. It requires a willingness to look at situation objectively and say, is this a choice that will cleanse my life or clog it? And no one knows this better than today’s guest, Mary Shores. An author, entrepreneur, and firm believer in the power of positive thinking, get ready to hear Mary discuss the power of gratitude, the danger of disempowering thought, and the concept of cleansing versus clogging. Mary’s book Conscious Communications is a spiritual journey of self Mary always wanted to write a book Prior to publishing her book, Mary was the CEO of a debt collection agency The question she constantly asked herself: “How am I going to take the spiritual path when my career is in conflict with it?” Eventually Mary realized she needed to bring her eternal gift to the debt collection’s industry It started with making people feel good about paying their debt Mary’s publisher is Hay House Hay House won’t publish business books so Mary wrote a personal development book On Mary’s journey to enlightenment, she came to understand a lot of things The true meaning of alignment: getting your focus, thoughts, feelings, actions and words going in the direction of your goals and dreams The concept of alignment is very important for Mary The ‘Power of Now’ The Power of Now is tied to choice Every choice you make needs to backed by action Make your choices connect to your dreams One of the chapter in Mary’s book is “To Cleanse or Clog?—That is the Question” Cleansing is about connecting to things that are already in your vibrational escrow Abraham Hicks is famous for his teaching of Law of Attraction where he used term vibrational escrow was used Mary sees Vibrational Escrow as the bank account for life—everything you ever thought of or experienced is stored there We connect to our Vibrational Escrow account through alignment, the Power of Wow, and our choices Mary learned about this idea thanks to Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within Cleanse or clog will work in every area of your life Create a connection or drive a disconnection Before making a choice, ask yourself if it is a cleansing choice or a clogging choice The 80/20 principle In a diet, if 80% is cleansing, you still have room for treat once in a while Make 80% your choices cleansing ones, and you’ll see dramatic changes in your life Bruce Lipton’s The Honeymoon Effect Mary has done tons of research in neuroscience In 1992, Mary’s child was born with severe brain damage There was no internet then, so Mary had to study about brain science by reading books Mary believed there a way to heal her child’s brain We have some neuro pathways in our mind that are created by genetics and some that are created by our experience Neuroplasticity is the ability to rewire our own brain Mary has a couple of chapters in her book that are dedicated to rewiring your brain through affirmation Mary writes new affirmations every day The power of gratitude also helps in rewiring your brain Mary has a Facebook group called Declaring Gratitude People in the group text each other messages of gratitude every a day Doing this creates new neuro pathways—new roads The science of epigenetics Unlock the genes by the virtue of your beliefs Mary noticed a lot of synchronicities between her dreams and her state of alignment When you commit to a coaching exercise in Mary’s book, you’ll notice the chaos and struggle going away Last Mother’s Day weekend, Mary was with her autistic son Desperate to find a summer program that would fit her son’s needs, she reached out to an autism coach who just happened to know all the programs available in Mary’s area Mary believes being connected to that person is the universe’s way of helping her Eventually, alignment will get you connected with your higher intelligence We have to understand that 90% of our thousands of thoughts a day are identical It’s the new thoughts can carry us where we really want to go To harness your thoughts, you have to get into your subconscious To counter fear-based thoughts, we have to tell ourselves empowering thoughts Catch your thought, let go and think of an empowering thought When you have a disempowering thought, your brain secretes chemicals into your body to match the thought These are “feelings” Mary had a book title From Breakdown to Breakthrough Always remember, “I have a choice,” we can choose how we feel When you feel like you’re out of control, think what you can do to feel in control “Your brain is designed to answer questions” For Mary, affirmation is the way we are communicating with our brain and the way we’re giving our brain instruction” Mary has 4 types of affirmation Negative self-talk Releasing your fear of abandonment ‘I am’ statements The statements should be congruent
