1. Repeat “I don’t need to think about that!”

This powerful phrase, shared by Abraham Hicks, has become one of my go-to tools for redirecting my mind when I’m overwhelmed or stuck in negativity.

Simply repeat to yourself:

“I don’t need to think about that right now!”

Say it as often as needed. It works.

Here’s a personal story of when I first used it – and how it helped me shift quickly when I needed it most.

The Storm and the Talk

One morning, I was scheduled to give an important public talk to a group of guests who had experienced mental health challenges. I wanted to show up as my best self—grounded, present, and heart-centered.

But the night before, a storm had torn down our fence, and it was leaning heavily against my young trees. I rushed out into the wild weather to prop it up, soaked and windswept, trying to prevent damage to my beloved garden.

Instead of preparing for the talk, I was consumed by thoughts like:
Insurance… fix the fence… protect the plants… how much will this cost?

I knew I needed to shift—fast.

After stabilizing the fence, I remembered Abraham Hicks’ wisdom and began repeating:
“I don’t need to think about that right now.”

Over and over.

It worked. I centered myself, returned to my heart, and gave the talk with clarity and compassion. It was a huge success—and they invited me back. 

2. Clock Face Technique

This beautiful method from Abraham Hicks helps you gradually shift your mindset by writing your way to a better-feeling thought.

How it works:

• Draw a clock face with numbers 1 to 12.
• In the center, write the thought that’s been looping in your mind—the one that triggers a negative emotion.
• Beside number 1, write a truthful sentence that feels slightly better.
• Continue this process around the clock, each sentence building gently on the last.

By the time you reach number 12, you’ll likely feel lighter, clearer, and more empowered.

This technique is especially helpful when you’re stuck in fear, doubt, or immobilizing beliefs. It’s worth the time—and you deserve the relief.

3. Let a Butterfly Take Your Thoughts Away

This is a visualization I teach in my workshops to support meditation and mental release.

Imagine a butterfly landing softly on your hand.
Feel its delicate touch.
As it lifts off and flies away, allow your thoughts to follow it—light, effortless, and free.

This gentle imagery helps you let go of thoughts during meditation, especially when they feel persistent. It’s a beautiful way to return to stillness.

You can experience this in my visual guided meditation “Letting Your Thoughts Go”, created to be accessible with eyes open and no sound—supporting the hard-of-hearing and deaf community.

Listen to Your Body Wisdom

Now I invite you to begin your own journey, guided by your body’s wisdom and the quiet voice of your Soul. 

If you feel anger, fear, or judgment, notice the thoughts behind them. These thoughts may be holding you back.

Every inspirational leader began by listening to their intuition. You can activate this within you—it’s easy and life-changing.

The Open to Your Heart Power Masterclass will help you transform those thoughts and move forward with what you love.

What you’ll experience in the Masterclass

You’ll be gently guided to:

• Co-create your life with your Soul—your best friend
• Listen to your Soul’s wisdom and ask investigative questions
• Release emotions that hold you back
• Let go of painful thoughts with a simple daily practice
• Reframe your beliefs to feel supported
• Connect with your Inner Healer and care for your body
• Open to a heart journey of inner harmony and power

You’ll become an inspiration to others—just by being you.

Have a pen and notebook ready—you’ll be channeling your Soul and Inner Healer. Writing down your answers helps you revisit them later with fresh eyes and deeper insight.

And remember… the higher dimensions have a wonderful sense of humour. Have fun with it!
