Years ago, I was in a conversation with a group of folks and one of the people was a professional life coach. Someone asked the life coach to describe their work, and she said she was primarily helping her clients come up with coping strategies for the stress in their life. I’m certain that’s not what all life coaches do, but it got me to thinking.
As spiritual seekers and finders, we’re stretching ourselves beyond mere coping strategies. We recognize that we can actually claim our healing.
For myself, I reached a point where I just didn’t want to cope one more minute. I declared my willingness to transcend and transmute, to rise above and beyond the past. Coping and managing are not what I’m interested in anymore.
I’ve learned that when I’m managing things then I’m not trusting Spirit.
I’d rather choose healing and skip the managing and coping.
Is it easier to choose Love than coping and managing? Sometimes it’s very challenging. Sometimes coping seems easier in the moment. Yet when we choose to go to coping, we’re intensifying the challenge and the healing can feel more elusive.
Every choice matters, so why not choose Love? We already know the pain and suffering that is caused by living inside of a coping strategy.
Let us choose strategies of Love, transformation and transmutation. We can choose to surrender and then allow the steps to reveal themselves to us. When we’re coping and managing, there’s no room for Divine inspiration. When we’re managing, we’re really thinking we have to figure it out. When we’re coping, we’re thinking we’re on our own.
Healing is our Divine birthright.
With Divine help, we can heal the pull to choose coping strategies and to awaken to Love the healer.
Love is our healer.
Choosing Love is our strategy and it works!

Latest ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: my topic is Cultivating Trust & Faith: Embracing Divine Guidance & Letting Go of Fear. Life offers both low and high vibrational choices; we’ll only be able to recognize the ones that are a vibrational match for us in the moment. In this episode, I share how to bring higher and better choices into our awareness so that we can actively choose a more loving and joyful life. When we have a strong practice of trust, it builds faith and releases worry and anxiety.
