Inspiring storyteller, writer and speaker, Dr. Nina Kelly offers a Valentine’s Day gift to readers in the form of a brief method for becoming conscious of thoughts that lead to words and actions in order to recognize when one is truly being loving.

New Orleans, LA – February  14, 2019 – Dr. Nina M. Kelly, Inspirational Storyteller, Coach, Author and Co-Author of The Big Question with Larry King, and Success Mastery and Success Breakthroughs with Jack Canfield, recently posted a new article on her website entitled, “Consciously Engage In Loving Behaviors To Make The World A Better Place,” in which Dr. Kelly invites her readers to participate in a brief exercise.

“Love,” writes Dr. Kelly, continuing, “it’s what “makes the world go ‘round.” It’s something everyone longs for and thinks they will never find. Romantic love can be glorious, messy, challenging, and sometimes downright dangerous.” She adds, “As we focus on love this month, I would like to turn your attention to you and how you love yourself and the world in which you live. And how even the smallest bit of conscious love can make the world a better place. This is my Valentine’s Day gift to you.”

According to Dr. Kelly, “Before we become conscious of our behaviors, in order to determine if they are loving or otherwise, we must first become conscious of our thoughts.” She elaborates, “Words and actions always follow thoughts, though you may not realize it. Sometimes the words just come flying out of our mouths before we realize we’ve had a thought!” She emphasizes, “And becoming conscious of our thoughts, words and actions is not an easy job.”

Dr. Kelly offers readers a brief 5-minute experience on how to become more aware or conscious of thoughts. She suggests, “If you sit still for just 5 minutes and close your eyes, you will see how your thoughts bombard you non-stop. If you continue to sit and let the thoughts come without becoming attached to any of them, if you simply watch like you’re viewing a movie or television show, you may be surprised at the nature of many of those thoughts.”

“Now, the whole idea is to be kind, loving and gentle with yourself,” says Dr. Kelly. She advises, “Do not berate yourself for the thoughts that come up. Simply pay attention to them. Let them float up and away like bubbles moving from the bottom of the sea to the surface where they pop and dissolve. When you open your eyes you can then begin to explore the nature of the thoughts that came up.”
