“Replacing it with a thought. I sometimes think, "What the hell. I have four working limbs right now. I'm winning just to even have the privilege of this experience!" Steering my brain onto this track of thought begins the process of being grateful for the lesson and returns my mind to a more peaceful place.” ThinkingMindSometimesWinningProcessBrainHellFourReturnLessonsRight NowGratefulPrivilegeTrackPeacefulBe GratefulLimbsSteeringPeaceful Places Author:Graham Shiels
“Catching myself in the moment. Then I remember facts are just facts, circumstances are merely circumstances. Whenever I can catch myself having a negative thought, I do Self I-Dentity through Ho'oponopono by saying to myself the phrases "I love you," "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank you" in any particular order.” I CanSelfMomentsFactsRememberOrderLove YouParticularCircumstancesPleaseNegativeForgivingSorryPhrasesI'm SorryCatchingNegative ThoughtsForgive MePlease Forgive Me Author:Graham Shiels
“I don't have children - yet! But I can imagine a love so potent that you would give your life for them. To give your life over to something else outside of you, that's love.” GivingChildrenI CanImagine Author:Graham Shiels
“The Alzheimer's Association is what I am passionate about. My grandfather had it. My mom has it. It's a horrible disease, and with our aging population, it's a growing problem.

“I meditate. Like probably a lot of people, my mind was opened almost ten years ago with The Secret. From there, I devoured anything Wayne Dyer ever wrote. I listen to him constantly in my car. And Eckhart Tolle. And Paramahansa Yogananda. All this has helped me through the ups and downs of acting and kept me on my path.” PeopleYearsMindActingSecretPathCarTenYears AgoUps & DownsWayneTolle Author:Graham Shiels
“Olympus has been a much welcomed return to my Shakespearean roots. King Aegeus demanded a much greater range and depth that I've yet had the opportunity to tap on camera. Lab Rats was a wonderful opportunity for me to just go be a goofy buffoon, which I love. It was exhilarating to listen to all the funny lines the writers would come up with on the spot and then get to play them immediately.” Has BeensPlayOpportunityLinesGreaterWonderfulReturnKingsRootsCamerasDepthCome UpSpotsRangeRatsLabsExhilaratingGoofyOlympusBuffoons Author:Graham Shiels
“I love to be by the ocean and have always done my best thinking by the sea. The ebb and flow is like a brain massage and very calming. I am also inspired by seeing kindness in others.

“I pray. I try to find space to process with a walk on the beach, a hike in the hills. Nature is restorative. I also try not to overreact. I grew up in Ireland, and we are big tea drinkers, and I think it's less about the tea itself and more about the ritual and the moment to prepare.” ThinkingTryingMomentsBigsProcessSpaceWalksGrewPrayingGrew UpTeaHillsBeachRitualIrelandI PrayDrinkers Author:Roma Downey

“I do take time to pray. I also start my day in gratitude, and as my first foot hits the floor in the morning when I climb out of bed, I say "Thank," and as the next foot hits the floor, I say "You," and I say "Thank you" all the way to the bathroom.
