Monday “Isness”

/in , /by

It is Monday morning and my very first email I read was about Gratitude.  Now, I must admit, it not only soothed my soul but it was exactly what I needed.

You see, as of late, I have had some “things” on my mind that have been weighing me down.  It is easy to lose sight of all the good “things” that are right in front of us when this happens, as we tend to forget about Gratitude.

Gratitude arises from the understanding that life is truly a gift.  That perhaps we are part of something bigger and greater we do not fully yet understand but we believe in.

We also realize that our life in its current state is a gift.  Each day is a unique gift that we can give back and contribute to. This appreciation of life helps us to value what “is” right here and now and the life of others.

Therefore, trust the “isness” of life and allow it to hold you – without will or want, struggle or planning.  Embrace and love what is and come to know the humbling feelings that are associated with this.

We are all searching for meaning and purpose on this planet. But for today, this Monday, try to sit back just for a moment and ponder how awesome it is that we have the privilege to be part of life.  That all is well, right now, as it “is.”

Allow me please to share a beautiful Prayer with you.  My hope is that it will bring you the peace and comfort it provides for me.

Praying-hands

“Thank you, God, for helping me to know that all that I seek is coming to me now. Thank you, God, for allowing me to feel, right now, the peace that comes with gratitude for what is, replacing the yearning for what is not. Thank you for bringing me the understanding that from the isness comes all that is now not, but will surely be. Let me stay, then, in the isness.”  ~ Neale Donald Walsch

PROCRASTINATOR

Do you postpone “things?”

We are all guilty of it at one time or another, but…If you realize that you are putting things off more often than you are getting things done, then it is time to pay attention. You may have fallen into the cycle of procrastination.
What is procrastination?
Procrastination is the avoidance of getting a task accomplished.

What are the effects of procrastination?
Procrastination can lead to feelings of guilt, self doubt, depression and also lead to chronic procrastination.

Why do we procrastinate and what can we do about it?
I’m sure this is what you would like to know, yes?

I am a firm believer that in order to change something, we must first understand why it is happening. When change is centered around awareness, you are more likely to be less overwhelmed and successful with your results.

This is why I will be presenting an on-line workshop next Tuesday, November 10th at 7:30 – 9:00 PM (ET) on possible reasons why we procrastinate and tips on how to conquer the postponement of “things.”

My goal is to make this event informative and also provide one-on-one support. Therefore, this workshop is limited to the first five (5) people who register. Upon registration you will receive a workbook to enhance your awareness and a 30 minute private coaching session to be scheduled following the event.

The workshop I can promise will be jam-packed with value and practical information you can apply immediately.

Here is what the workshop includes:
• 1.5 Hours of On-Line Learning
• One-On-One Support within the Group
• Detailed Workbook
• 30 Minute Private Coaching Session
This all inclusive event has a price value of approximately $500.00. However, for the five lucky people who register now, your cost to participate is only $79.99.

(I know, it is outrageously, ridiculously priced, but I’ve been known to do this from time to time!)
This amazing opportunity is time sensitive and available to only 5 people, so you must act fast if you want in. Good luck!

Clutter & Stress Go Hand-In-Hand

/in , , , /by
Does clutter and stress go hand-in-hand? 
I would have to say the answer to that is YES!
There are two types of clutter – physical and emotional – both are stressful.
Physical clutter is about your environment – your work or living space.  Studies show that when there are elevated amounts of clutter your stress level increases.

null


Emotional clutter is about the ‘things’ that are in your head that are causing you to feel overwhelmed, which ultimately triggers stress.

So when I read the latest study of Neuroscience Researchers at Berkeley, CA revealed that chronic stress triggers long-term changes in brain structure & function – it caught my attention.

 

This study had an impact on me for two reasons:
1. Personal Concerns
2. Professional Concerns
The first reason due to the obvious health concerns for overall wellness and the second reason because of how stress impacts you – especially when one is dealing with life recovery and clutter.
This is why I am offering an Educational On-Line Event on Monday, November 2, 2015 from 7:00 – 8:30 PM ET entitled – How To Combat Stress & Keep Your Brain Healthy.
 
At the event I will share with you some of the highest practices I know on how to cope with stress.  We will discuss what to do and what not to do, as well as when to take action and when not to take action to combat stress.

 

A workbook will be included, Q&A time and the opportunity to be personally Coached by me. 

 

To participate, you have to first register for the event.  Once you do, all the details will be sent to you on how to attend.  The On-Line Event Fee is only $49.95.

A Little Encouragement Can Go A Long Way

/in , , , , /by

When Timothy first contacted me, he shared with me that it was difficult for him to get out of bed in the morning. After he got his kids off to school, all he wanted to do was go back to bed and sleep the day away.

 
Self-employed and working from home, Tim was struggling financially. He left a good job to work from home so he could take care of his children after the passing of his beloved wife.  On top of the normal bills, he was also accumulating college tuition debt while pursuing another degree.

 
Tim was literally worried sick over how he was going to manage it all.

 
(The above is an excerpt from Life Recovery for the Cluttered Soul)

Life Recovery Final Cover Only

After reading a little bit about Timothy, what do you think he needs the most that would shift things for him immediately? It could be time, money, love, – perhaps all of these.
But what if I told you that the very thing that helped Tim right there and then, was something so simple, so pure, yet so absent from what we typically might offer someone.
That single thing was “encouragement.”
You see, if we take a look at what this word really means to us as human beings, we will see that we all need it. Not just sometimes, but all the time. Encouragement is about offering unconditional support.
I personally believe that support is a natural motivator and the cornerstone to healing. We all need to be encouraged along this journey we call life – in good times and in trying times.
Can you just imagine what our world would look like if we were all encouraged on a daily basis!Imagine just for a minute what that would look like – just how different “things” could be for us.
Today, my dear friends, I encourage you to consider how you can support someone starting right now. Maybe this person is a friend, a co-worker, a loved-one, or perhaps it may be someone you do not know at all. Be open, be aware, be encouraging and watch the magic!

How To Soar To New Heights

/in , , , , , , , , /by
“How does it feel to be completely blocked from achieving your highest potential? You know you want to get there; you feel you can do it; you even imagine it in all its glory.  But nothing happens.  You can’t make the transition.”~ B. E. 

The above is a fairly typical example of  how my clients express themselves when they feel stuck.
Perhaps there are moments when you feel this way too?It is also fairly common to gain moments of clarity in the stuck process.  You start to get energized and take steps to get yourself out of the rut.  You feel like you are making progress and you feel excited.  Then “something” happens.  You are not sure exactly what that something is, but it stops you from moving forward.  You find yourself pulling back again, this time even further.  You’re not sure why you pull back but you do. Your primary instinct is to seek comfort.  Comfort from your internal tug of war.
So what is this all about – what’s really going on when a person feels this way? Although a person may feel stuck, it is important to understand what “stuck” represents.  Often you will hear the comparison of being stuck to being in the middle of something.  The middle of something that one may feel they can’t get out of or not sure which direction to go.This is a very accurate description.  The truth is, the person who is feeling this way is  indeed stuck in the middle of something!  And that something usually represents the past and the future. This is why feeling stuck can be very confusing and needless to say, emotional.
So how do you get unstuck? 
On Monday, August 31, 2015 from 7:30pm until 9:00pm ET, I will be presenting an on-line workshop that will help you sort it all out.  Following will be Q&A time.  Just imagine what it will feel like when you are no longer trapped in the middle of your past and future.  Take a moment and envision being unstuck.  Do you see yourself soaring above – perhaps soaring to your higher self? 
Life Recovery
Take a look at what my client has to say now (the one who wrote the quote above) about being unstuck…
“I feel like I’m soaring like a bird.  I smell the sweet, sweet air with the gentle wind against my face.  It’s delightful, it’s exhilarating, it’s freeing!” ~B.E.
It’s not fun being stuck in the middle! Let me help you! Register for this event!
Once you register you will receive a Welcome Package that includes detailed information on how to attend the event.  You will also receive a Workbook that will guide you through the PowerPoint presentation that evening.  There will be time for a Q&A period so please bring your questions.
*Workbook
*PowerPoint
*Q&A Time
*1.5 + Hours
Since I believe in providing value to my clients, I try throughout the course of the year to offer events that are affordable for all to participate – this is just my way of giving back.  This is why this event is only $69.99. ($1,000. value)The event however is only open to the first ten (10) people who register.  Then it is locked.  Since all of my workshops sell out, I encourage you to register now so you don’t miss this event.  This one is sure to be POWERFUL!
Note:  Please come prepared to learn and be open to a fresh perspective on how to get unstuck.  Remember, the more open you are to learning, the faster the understanding will come.  Once the understanding arrives, you are more apt to accelerate change.  Just a hint…xo

Oh Where, Oh Where Did My Papers Go?

/in , , , , /by
There is nothing more frustrating than looking for something you cannot find – wouldn’t you agree?  How many times have you tried to reach for something – hoping that it would be right there in front of you – right within finger tips reach – and it’s not!
Disappointing isn’t it? 
Now let’s look at this from a paper perspective.Generally speaking, our papers hold information we need.  At some point we will take some type of action on these papers.  These paper can represent mail that has to be opened, a bill that requires payment, or a very important document that calls for immediate attention.
Regardless of what type of information the paper may be holding, the paper has something to do with a very personal part of who we are.  This is the very reason why our papers can be so emotional to deal with – they hold emotional energy.
Our papers tell a story of our past, present and future. 
How we handle our paper can determine where we go.
So if our papers are not organized and they are not easily accessible when we need them, well, you get the picture – you are going to feel emotional about it.
Are you getting this?  This is really cool stuff!If you would like to learn more about how to organize your paperwork so you can move in the right direction, then you won’t want to miss out on my Live Event:
How To Tame Your Papers & Calm Your Overwhelm
Tuesday, August 11, 2015 @ 7:30-9:00 PM

Are Procrastinators A Rare Species?

/in , , , , , /by

I think if we took a good look around we would see the notorious habit of putting things off  is very much alive – even in you and me.  Procrastinators are not a rare species.

Procrastination is one of the easiest things to do, yet the most difficult thing to stop.  The problem with procrastination is that it heavily influences our productivity – hands down!

It can be extremely difficult to perform at an optimum level when procrastination takes us off course from making decisions and taking action.  Talk about an energy drainer…

So, how do we overcome procrastination?  It’s like anything else – we first must understand why we do it.  We cannot change a habit if we do not first understand it.

On August 4, 2015, Tuesday Evening, from 7:30 -9:00 pm (ET) I will be hosting an on-line event that will review the TOP TEN PRODUCTIVITY TIPS FOR PROCRASTINATORS.

Step One:  Mark your calendar now!

All participants will receive a workbook to guide them through the course.  Space is limited to the first 10 people who register.  Upon registration you will receive all the information necessary to attend this event.  There is a $39.99 fee for this event.

Here is your chance to learn how to overcome this habit and kick the procrastination habit for good!  Don’t be part of the procrastinator species any longer.

Step Two:  Register now!

Feel It – Bless It

/in , , , /by

How often in life do you stuff down negative emotions or feelings about something going on in your present life or about something that has happened in the past?

It’s a common human pattern to stuff things down. We do it to protect ourselves. You’ve done it, I’ve done it, people do it on a daily basis.

The challenge is…

As we continue to stuff things down in our lives, it accumulates and causes more and more problems for us. 

I received the above in an email from Nick Ortner, The Tapping Solution, and it got me to thinking …

Eventually this accumulation of stuff has no other choice but to come out. When it does come out, it can manifest in many forms. For some people, their outward form manifests as physical clutter.

Clutter as we know represents disorder. Therefore, our physical clutter is an outward manifestation, a demonstration if you will, of what we may be feeling inwardly, i.e., confusion, turmoil, overwhelm. So it makes perfect sense when someone says, “I don’t know where to begin or how to start” when attempting to combat their clutter.

The truth is 99.9% of the time, people can get organized. Organization is a skill set that one can learn. It is the emotional aspect that prevents one from doing so, commonly referred to as an emotional block.

For this very reason, it’s important to take note that in order to deal with your physical clutter it is also necessary to work on your emotional clutter. Otherwise, it has been my experience, that no matter how many times you attempt to get things back in order, if you do not deal with the emotional aspect, the clutter will come back.

It is also important to point out, that the clutter will usually come back with a vengeance.  It’s as if the clutter is saying, “Hey you, I’m not done here…look at me…we have things to settle and I’m not going away until we do.”

This is the time when I suggest you look at your clutter with a fresh perspective. In other words, don’t fear the clutter, Bless it. Approach the clutter with gratitude and thankfulness.

Think of it this way…

Your outward manifestation is like looking through your very own Looking Glass – it’s mirroring back to help you. Look at it as an opportunity to begin the process of healing so you can begin to move forward in your life.
