Here's guidance to get in touch with what you want in your life. When you are ready, sit down with your journal, or pen and paper, or a new document on your computer. Start by asking yourself:
How do I want to shift my life?
What do I want for my next step forward?
What do I want to focus on, resolve, complete, or accomplish?
What do I want for my next step forward?
What do I want to focus on, resolve, complete, or accomplish?
If you have difficulty answering these questions, or if you find it hard to focus on what you want, use these two Acupressure points to enhance your mental outlook, memory and concentration. GB 14 can help to clear your mind, and GV 26 can assist with bringing you back into your body. These points also counteract negative thoughts so you can think more positively.
How to use GB 14: By using a special mental healing point, GB 14, you can reprogram your mind towards a more open, positive attitude. Holding this point lightly while breathing deeply, several times a day, can release mental stress and cultivate mental health.
The location of GB 14 is above the center of your eye, one finger-width above your eyebrows. Use only very light touch on these points. You can use one hand to hold them by placing your thumb on one side and your index fingertip on the other side of your forehead. Apply a very gentle touch, as you breathe slowly and deeply for a couple of minutes.

You can also use both hands to hold GB 14 very gently with your middle fingertips, as illustrated. Be sure to breathe slowly and deeply, while holding these points lightly for a couple of minutes. After getting familiar with holding this point, increase the length of time up to five minutes.
Using this special clearing point, with deep breathing, can melt negative thought patterns and soothe difficult emotions. This works almost immediately, but doesn’t tend to last unless you apply this easy, gentle, cost-free technique regularly in your life.

People of all ages can benefit. Children and teens can use this point to clear their mind when taking a test. Elderly folks find it useful for memory, especially when having a “senior moment” of forgetfulness. And everyone can use it to deal with the stresses and pressures of daily life. All ages can use this point to counteract negative attitudes, since it calms and balances your emotions.
Enjoy the experience of clearing your mind, and the negative patterns associated with stress to increase your overall happiness!

A Memory From Michael Gach
Here's a memory from Michael Gach's past which contributed to his mental health.
"I was so depressed in high school. My mother was concerned about it, and told me, 'You can have anything you want in your life — but you need to know what you want in order to get it.' I was blessed to have that wisdom, clarity, and support."
