Carolyn's Comments

Welcome to this issue of the SimplyHealed newsletter!


I hope you are enjoying these summer months. This past week has been so much fun for my husband and I. All of our kids were home for a few days and we had a great time. I just love it when we all get to spend a few days together!


My son, Mitch, the bearded 'artist-looking guy', has some great artwork that I am using in some upcoming products. Make sure to scroll down and read my Recommends section to learn more.


And this month's featured article is actually a QUIZ that I encourage you to truthfully answer. It's about victim energy, and I think we all have a little bit of that in certain areas of our lives from time to time. Simply being aware of it and how it shows up for us is a huge step in being able to move out of it, see things from a healthier perspective, and become more proactive.



oh, and PS...

Featured Article: Are You Living with a Victim Mentality?

Old-fashioned melodramas featured hapless heroines who always seemed to find themselves tied to a railroad track or evicted from home into a fierce storm as the villain twirled his oily moustache. Only a white-hatted hero or the cavalry could rescue them as they cried, “Woe is me!”

Times of stress or a need to respond to fearful situations can stir up the victim in all of us.

Here’s a Thriving quiz to help you see if you’ve been carrying around a victim mentality that may be robbing you of your sense of personal power. Answer true or false to the following statements.

T /F  My first response to a setback is to blame someone else for what’s happened.

T /F  No matter what I do, things are not really going to change for me.

T /F  I often find myself beginning thoughts with phrases like “I can’t...,” “I’m no good at…” or “I’ve never been able to....”

T /F  When things go wrong, I tend to beat myself up.

T /F  Sometimes I’m lucky, but when bad things happen it’s because I messed up.

T /F  When angry, I rarely begin sentences with “I.”

T /F  Conversations with friends are often about how hard my life is.

T /F  When friends offer advice, I usually counter it with “Yes, but…” since they can’t know how difficult my situation really is.

T /F  I spend a fair amount of my time thinking about past failures and mistakes.

T /F  Other people usually cause me to feel the way I do. I’d be more centered if it weren’t for them.

T /F  I’m always so busy with work and the things I need to do to survive that I just don’t have time to do things I want to do for myself.

T /F  I’d like to exercise more and eat in a healthier way, but I just can’t right now.

T /F  If I weren’t tied down to all these obligations, I could really do some of the things I always think about doing.

T /F  Someday I’ll find a new partner who will really change my life. In the meantime, all I can do is hope.

T /F  Because I’ve made some mistakes in the past, I believe I am being punished now because nothing seems to work out for me.

T /F  If only I had had more support, I could have… (fill in the blank.)

“Victimhood” is usually a way of staying stuck in old patterns and can be an externalizing way of dealing with unacknowledged anger or fear of change. If you answered true to more than a couple of these questions, chances are you’d benefit from an individual phone session from one of our Certified SimplyHealed Practitioners. They have all been trained personally by me and I highly recommend them to you.To learn more about each of them, go here:

Carolyn Recommends

Yay!  I have something new on my website I'd like you to know about...

No-cost e-cards! 

This is so fun, all you do is type in your name and the recipient's email (don't worry, it doesn't sign them up for anything of mine, it just sends a lovely card to their inbox from you).


You may send as many as you like each month, and return next month for a new card with a different painting and thought. It's a great way to let someone know you are thinking of them, and it's so easy to do.


Go here to surprise someone you love with a card today:

Closing Thoughts

"The quality of life is in proportion, always, to the capacity for delight.
The capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention.
The reward for attention is always healing."

~Julia Cameron, The Artist's Way

SimplyHealed™ Group Phone Sessions 

Topic: Weight Loss

Mon, July 23rd
1 pm PT/ 2 pm MT/ 3 pm CT/ 4 pm ET

We all know that healthy food, proper exercise and adequate sleep are all essential for a fit body. But, do you realize the physical body is a metaphor for what is going on inside of us?

On this Group Energy session we will be clearing the reasons why, on a subconscious level, people feel it is not "safe" or they are "not worthy" to lose weight and be lean and healthy.  We will release old, negative inner tapes and we will "plug in" new, positive affirmations that support you on this journey, to help make weight loss a fun and empowering time for you instead of a struggle!

 Join us for this 1-hour session ~ You'll be glad you did!
