Dianne Bischoff James: The Real Brass Ring
OMTimes: Tell us about the strategies you used to stop you from giving up when the going got tough.
Dianne Bischoff James: Fear and a sense of lack usually are the culprits that stop us from reaching success. One of the best strategies for overcoming stinking thinking and dark, negative mental messages is to utilize several of the Shortcuts for Happy Living- 1) Manage Your Wave and 2) Learn Your Lessons to move past the setbacks. We are beings of light and our thoughts resonate in the form of waves. Therefore, in every situation, we have the opportunity to reach for a thought that will make us feel better, the positive side of the energy wave. Plus, whenever you are tempted to sit in the victim chair, step back and identify lesson to be learned. If it is a repetitive issue, call it out, make changes and learn your lesson quickly so you don’t have to repeat it.
OMTimes: How did the people around you change as you began to change?
Dianne Bischoff James: I’ve noticed a huge improvement in the relationship with every member in my family. Prior to rebooting my life, I was highly reactive and would fly off the handle when the children made seemingly innocent mistakes, spills or messes. With greater personal alignment and practicing the Shortcut- Speak Your Peace, I have learned how to stop stuffing and articulate my truth in the moment in a healthy way. This has allowed me to parent from a place of open compassion and understanding. As a result, we have a very peaceful household with open dialogue and very little drama. The beauty is, the children have learned that it is safe to express their point of view and have the skills to manage conflicts and disagreements in the moment. Nothing gets built up or swept under the rug.
OMTimes: What’s the one piece of advice you would give to people who want to reach for the ‘Real’ Brass Ring?
Dianne Bischoff James: Your birthright is joy. Therefore, it is critical to starting living in your authentic life because the highest experience of love is the realization of what you believe in, who you are and what you love to do. It’s also important to remember that the heart will not invest in compromises. So, the sooner you take even a small step toward creating a life you love, the more you can expand into wholeness of who you meant to be and feel happy. Future is lined with infinite possibilities and the middle years can be the greatest time of your life!
