March To Your Own Drummer

Last week I took a real vacation, something I haven’t done for a number of years. I went to a beautiful family resort/spa with all my family including my six grandchildren, who range in age from 3 years to six years old. I played relaxed, & read great books. A really great treat for me. Especially being around the children for a whole week. It also allowed me the opportunity to see how kids re-act to other people.

At this age they still march to their own drummer. Although, they heeded what their parents said, when it came to what other kids wanted they didn’t stand still for saying yes just to be liked. From the youngest to the oldest they went with what they wanted to do without worrying about the reaction of their peers or for that matter adults.

I was thinking what a pity it is that somewhere between 5 – 10 years old, we tend to lose the ability to ‘go for it’ for ourselves. We start to play the record of the ‘you should’, you must, ‘you have to.’ And we start to conform with what we think society wants. We drift into what I call the “pleasing syndrome.” Often people do this for many years, sometimes their whole lives. This really dilutes inner power and diminishes energy and the ability to attract what you really want in life.

Look at the first two principles in the 28 principles of attraction written by Thomas Leonard.

1. The Importance of YOU. Without you there is nothing and Attraction isn’t possible. Make sure you take care of yourself first. Not to the Detriment of others and don’t get stuck in ego, this isn’t attractive.

2. UNHOOK YOURSELF FROM THE FUTURE:
Attraction works in the present, not in the future. If you’re dragging things from your past or afraid of what might happen in the future, you won’t attract What you want in the NOW.

Are you pleasing yourself or are you stuck in pleasing other people and saying yes even when it doesn’t really work for you because you want people to think more highly of you, to think you’re nice, to like you etc. etc.

I know what it’s like because many years ago I was stuck in that pattern. What I discovered when I finally found the courage to march to my own drummer was that people respected me much more when I stood in integrity and set boundaries for myself. Those that didn’t like it were not meant to be in my life.

Always march to your own drummer and have respect for yourself.

Fear or Fun!!

I spent a lot of time this weekend around young children and animals and it gave me pause for thought! Young kids have lots of fun, they are not yet immersed in fear. Dogs have fun, they sleep a lot and they are usually at peace. (I don’t have dogs so I share my daughter’s. The photo is one of my grand-dogs Oreo taking a break from running around with the kids.)

I watched my 5 year old grandson receive a trophy from his little league team in baseball, they weren’t fearful as they ran up and down the court with their little faces focused on getting a ball in the net, they were having fun and learning a little about the art of competition.

I was watching a roomful of children at my son’s twins 4th birthday party, (I have 2 sets of twin grandchildren), climbing up what they call bouncy’s. These contraptions were at least 7 times as high as each child. There they were climbing up and over and happily sliding down. They had no fear, they were having fun and once at the bottom, they couldn’t wait to climb back up to slide down again from this huge height.

We as adults have all the ingrained messages that have been recorded in our minds over the years, consequently, most people are not at peace, often don’t sleep well, get mired in fear and doubt and don’t have nearly enough fun.

You can change that if you choose to! We are at choice to live our lives however we want. What choice have you made recently?

Do you have any fear and doubt that you allow to hold you back in any way in life?
Are you living the life that you have designed or just getting through the days however they happen!

One of my greatest joys in my coaching business is when I see people start to break up the limiting conversations they are having with themselves. The mind chatter that goes on, the talk that brings up the fear and doubt.

If there was absolutely nothing standing in your way, no financial challenges, no doubt, fear or anything else, how would you design your life? What would it look like? We are half way through the year, this is a good time to take stock of where you are and if you are not living the life you want, whether it’s professionally or personally, it’s time to do something about it!

I’d love to hear from you if you have any questions or comments. Especially, if something has made you stop and think and you are making changes in your life.

Have a great week.

Expand Your Vision to Attract More

Jim Rohn said, "We all have two choices, we can make a living or we can design a life."

Of course we all want to have enough money to pay the bills, keep a roof over our head and eat. However, if we play a bigger game and take more action the possibilities are endless.

I teach my clients not to just make a living but to gain the confidence to 'design' the life of their dreams.

We know that based on the Law of Attraction, what we focus on is what we attract. So, what happens if we think we're following the law of attraction and we’re not getting the results? There's always a reason!

Over the 25 years that I've been teaching this subject and from my own experience, I have learned this secret. We have to be in alignment on a conscious and subconscious level with our thinking. From what I have seen, I believe that more often than not, this is not happening and people are not aware of the barriers they are creating.

Unfortunately, all too often people don't realize that the actions they take, what they are consciously thinking and what is really going on at a deeper more fundamental level, is not the same.

If you have all the plans in place, are taking action and still not getting where you want to be, you have to be more willing to dig a little deeper.

• Do you honestly, deep down, believe that you can reach your goals?
• Have you set them so that the laws of the universe can work with and for you?
  

To make the changes, to overcome fear, doubt and mind chatter, there are many options. You could hire a coach, take a class, read a book, listen to CD programs etc. However you make the changes, I highly encourage you to take action so that you can take down the barriers, think outside of the box and achieve the life of your dreams.

Half Way Point: Are you on your way!?

As Memorial day approaches, we’re almost half way through 2007. Kids are graduating, even my 5 year old Grandson has a graduation from nursery school, Father’s are celebrating, and June 21st brings the official start of summer.

Whether it’s in your personal life or your business I think this is another time for new beginnings.

This is the time of year when I look back to see how I’ve been doing with goals and intentions I set for this year. I look to see if I’m attracting what I want and if I’m on track to achieve my goals for December.

A few of the things that I planned for this year are in the works. My book, “The Astonishing Power of You,” which will be almost like an owners manual for your mind, will be finished and due for release in October. At the beginning of May, I released my fantastic new program, Six Simple Steps to Generate a Six Figure Income in 2 years (or less). Don’t let the title fool you, It’s about the law of attraction and can really be used for all areas of life. I’m in the midst of recording amazing visualizations that will accelerate your future growth, plus in September I will be starting an ‘accelerating your empowerment’ circle for women, online.

What have you been attracting during the past six months? Have you been changing your thinking, letting go of negatives, what if’s and other things you may have been tolerating? Are you attracting positive things into your business and your life?

If not, I encourage you to look at why not! As I already said, it’s a time for new beginnings, it’s never too late to start, or to get re-focused and back on track.

Remember, according to the law of attraction, everything is created from the inside, you live your life exactly how YOU create it.

Have a wonderful Memorial day weekend.

The Blame Game

Hi Everybody,

Could this be you? I wanted to write a few words about this because it’s come up a number of times with people in my life the past few weeks.

When we play this game, we are not standing in integrity or taking responsibility for our own life, neither are we living in the present. It’s often much easier for people to blame everything and everybody outside of themselves for what is not coming to fruition in their life.

Playing the blame game is just one of the behaviors that can be a total energy drain.
The only person who is responsible for the results in your life is YOU.

As I’ve said before, don’t let the old messages trip you up. Make good informed choices and remember that all choices have consequences, just make sure that your choices work positively for you so the energy around you stays high.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has found the tips useful or has suggestions for specific topics that you might like to hear about. Don’t by shy. It’s a great way to connect with the universe and I’m here to be of service to you.

Have a truly wonderful week.

You deserve the best of everything in life.

As The Empowerment Coach and an expert in teaching people how to gain their inner power and achieve their dreams, although at this point in my life I don’t get taken back by what goes on in the world, I still find I am surprised when someone contacts me for help and I find out that the main reason they haven’t achieved their goals and dreams is because they have not yet discovered the power they have within themselves and what they are really capable of achieving in life.

It’s never too late, there’s always time, Unfortunately, we don’t know what we don’t know, until we find out! Whether you are 16 or 60. You start from wherever you are and there’s lots of time to achieve anything you want in life.

I didn’t discover my own self worth and inner power until I was in my 40’s and my greatest wish in life would be that children, teenagers, young people find this inner power while they are still very young so that they don’t have to wait until later in their lives.

Imagine if all the kids in the world believed in themselves and the dreams they have, what a different world this might become!

If you are struggling with your inner worth or know someone who is, please reach out to someone. Find a mentor, hire a coach, talk to a friend, read a book, anything so that you can work on increasing that strength. You deserve to have joy, wealth, success and happiness in life. All it takes is being willing to:

Set an intention + make a commitment to yourself + take action = positive results.

Stay on top of what’s going on in your mind so that your subconscious programming can’t take over. Don’t allow the mind chatter/gremlin to keep you stuck. Don’t let anyone else steal your dreams. You deserve the best of everything in life.

Have a great week.

Make True Commitments

My apologies for getting this out late this week. I was out of town until Monday morning and now I’m playing catch up.

Judging by the lovely e.mails I received it was a great teleconference on Monday. I’m delighted that everyone on the call enjoyed it. If you’re interested in the new product you can check it out at www.theastonishingpowerofyou.com/moremoney.html

I have found over the years, not only from clients but also from my own experience, that one of the main reasons that people don’t reach their goals is because they don’t truly commit to them. Usually, if there is hesitation in totally committing to something it’s because there is an underlying fear or doubt. People who don’t make true commitments are always looking for a way out. They will use any excuse as to why they don’t achieve their goals, never looking at the real reason. This can lead to disappointment.

Remember to check what’s going on in your subconscious. Is your mind chatter telling you that if you make a commitment and don’t achieve the goal you will have failed? There is no such thing as failure. When you are doing your best, you are taking action The only time people fail is when they stand still.

I encourage you to make real commitments, not just saying the words but also writing down your goals and posting them somewhere you can see them. This keeps your subconscious
from shutting down and ignoring them. (there is a whole section in the new program about goal setting.)

If you want a really beautiful free screensaver that will keep you on track and motivated go to www.ecourseforfree.com/law_ss.cfm. There are many other wonderful things available on the site. I downloaded the screen saver and it really is not only beautiful but very powerful.

Have a fantastic week.

‘Til next time.
