Hi, I'm Evelyn Brooks and welcome to this episode of my Empowerment Series called "Heal
Your Broken Dreams." Did shift happen and now you feel like your heart is in a million
pieces? I know what that's like, and the problem in our society is that we learn to "move on"
instead of actually healing our pain and our grief.
Now, whether what happened is recent, or whether it's from long ago—it doesn't matter. Our
mind sees it as happening right now when we keep it alive, and we keep the pain active
in our lives.
Our mind has no way of distinguishing whether it was past or it's happening right now. That's
why it continues to hurt so much, when you can't seem to let go of something that happened.
Maybe it was a bad divorce. Maybe it was the shock of betrayal in your life. Maybe it was
someone you lost.
I know what that's like. I grew up with a lot of survivor's guilt from tragedies in
childhood. I embarked on a pattern of self-sabotage and people-pleasing relationships where I
was so toxically codependent that I couldn't possibly be happy. The reason for all that
is, of course, I had never healed properly.
My thinking and my belief and my image of myself...I still saw myself as a very sad
and grieving child, even though on the outside I was able to achieve some success. I was
able to keep up appearances. I was able to pretend to be happy. We all know that pretense
is not much fun. It really isn't.
And the thing about feeling stuck in any kind of broken dream is that you cannot move forward.
It's almost as if you are chained to that past event.
What I'd like to teach you is how to find those gold nuggets in the past event, how
to heal from it, how to learn to recognize painful events while they're still in a small
stage, and Life doesn't have to hit you over the head with a two by four in order to get
your attention that you're headed down the wrong path.
We can learn all of these things by accessing the power of our true thinking.
Most of us were taught to really look at the conditions and circumstances of our lives
and use that to decide whether or not to be happy and joyful. And we also get the idea—which
is a wrong idea—that when something bad happens, it would be disloyal to the person
we lost, or it would be kind of frivolous if we were happy "too soon." And that's just
not right.
We are here to create joy and love, and to help others do the same thing.
I would love to help you heal those broken dreams.
My e-course is very easy to implement. I'll take you through the course, and you'll learn
how to change your thinking and how to open your heart to new joy and new possibilities.
I invite you to take a look at what I'm offering, and I look forward to seeing you on the other
side. Bye-bye.
