12 Days of Christmas Revisited

A special thank you to everyone who participated in the 12 Days of Christmas Event here on my blog. And I want to invite you to revisit the 12 Days of Gifts and Specials. I will leave each special up through Jan 1, 2013. Each day of the event, I featured a coaching tip, a gift and/or a special offer. It has been so much fun to celebrate Christmas with all of you. I also know that there are people of different faiths who follow my blogs and are part of my coaching community. I honor and appreciate all of you too. I feel it is a great freedom that we can each practice our faith. I am proud of my Christmas roots and traditions and it has been a delight to share with you throughout the Holiday Season. Many blessings to you. I so appreciate all of the loving  and wonderful people in my life.

Warmest,

12 Days of Christmas: It’s Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve.

Welcome to my 12 Days of Christmas Blog Event:

In addition to each daily special, I am also holding a drawing contest. Every time you comment on the blog until Dec 24, 2012- your name will be entered into the drawing. On Dec 25, 2012 I will announce the Grand Prize Winner. The grand prize package is: I am giving away a $25 Amazon gift certificate or you can choose a Starbuck’s $25 Gift Certificate, plus the grand prize winner will also receive theGolden Mindset eCourse which is a $497 value (you can choose to use the ecourse or give it to someone else as a gift). The winner will be announced tomorrow.

One of my favorite Christmas memories is when I was a little kid, our community hosted a Christmas Bazaar every year and it was filled with home made crafts and goodies. One year I saw a home made Raggedy Ann doll- I had to have it- it was so big and so beautiful. Her clothes were perfect. And it was $20 which was a lot of money 34 years ago. I kept asking my mom and she kept saying no. I felt desperate and terrible. I knew I was suppose to have that doll. I cried, then I tried to act grown up and pretend it didn’t matter, but my little heart was breaking.

When I woke up on Christmas- there she was- my Raggedy Ann doll. I was so happy and I kept that doll for years and years well into adulthood. It was a wonderful Christmas Surprise.

Coaching Tip: Be thankful for the blessings you have received in the past. When you feel thankful for a past event, you carry that wonderful feeling of appreciation with you all day. Appreciation is a beautiful energy and helps you be a magnet for positive things occurring in your life.

Enjoy your holidays, cherish every moment. Today’s special gift is an audio from my Success Club archive called Defining Success- Click Here to play.

Warmest,

12 Days of Christmas: value your traditions, but set a few new ones, too

Welcome my 12 Days of Christmas Blog Event:

In addition to each daily special, I am also holding a drawing contest. Every time you comment on the blog until Dec 24, 2012- your name will be entered into the drawing. On Dec 25, 2012 I will announce the Grand Prize Winner. The grand prize package is: I am giving away a $25 Amazon gift certificate or you can choose a Starbuck’s $25 Gift Certificate, plus the grand prize winner will also receive theGolden Mindset eCourse which is a $497 value (you can choose to use the ecourse or give it to someone else as a gift).

The Nutcracker Suite has been a tradition for me since I was a little girl. My mother took me to the ballet. I then became a ballet dancer. I took my own daughters to the Nutcracker ballet when they were preschoolers. They became ballet dancers and both performed in several Nutcracker ballet performances. Even though my girls changed interests in high school from ballet to cheerleading, every holiday season seems tied to the Nutcracker ballet. I even have a collection of wooden Nutcrackers, Christmas ornaments, wooden musical jewelry boxes and even snow balls with the Nutcracker theme. I think it is the magical world in the story that is so appealing and the happy ending. The music instantly transports me to a fairy tale world and I feel like a little girl again.

Coaching Tip: Value your traditions and your stories and add some flexibility, too. Eight years ago when we moved 1000 miles away from family and friends, along with cherishing traditions, we had to create some new traditions. Though I love thinking about my holiday memories (my Grandpa always had walnuts that he would crack open with a nutcracker ,he always had chocolate covered cherries at Christmas, and we would stand around the piano and sing), I also know the value of starting new traditions, too. If we think Christmas, the holidays, or any event can only be one way, we set ourselves up for disappointment. For instance, it has been a new tradition for us to go to the Parade of Lights in Denver every year, this year we had a conflict in our schedules and could not go. My son was very sad and then we had a talk about what is important about traditions- and that is the people. Even though we couldn’t go to the parade, we were still together.  Many blessings to you this season.

12 Days of Christmas: Daring Something New

Welcome to Day 11 of my 12 Days of Christmas Blog Event:

In addition to each daily special, I am also holding a drawing contest. Every time you comment on the blog until Dec 24, 2012- your name will be entered into the drawing. On Dec 25, 2012 I will announce the Grand Prize Winner.

Today’s Coaching Tip: Daring Something New

I am sharing one of my poems that I wrote a few years ago as I was embarking on a new project- it is called Daring Something New

Daring Something New

Committed to being open

Stretching

Growing

My heart trembles

My mind turns

Palms are damp

Fear growls around me

As I try something new- unknown

Part of me wants to give up

Part of me thrills to the challenge

I am on the edge

The verge of choice

Terrified of a mistake

Yet driven to move forward

Slowing down my breathing

Resolve enters my heart

I push on-

daring to dive

into my new adventure

The peace of decision

and rightness enters my heart

I am certain.

It takes courage to try new things and new ideas. Fear does get in the way- yet it is so important for our hearts and our souls to press on. I celebrate and honor your courageous heart today. I celebrate each and every time you took a positive step forward this year. Keep going. Keep moving. Keep believing in yourself, I know I do believe in you.

I have two gifts for you today- one free and one special.

12 Days of Christmas: Empowerment

 

Welcome to Day 10 of the 12 Days of Christmas:

In addition to each daily special, I am also holding a drawing contest. Every time you comment on the blog until Dec 24, 2012- your name will be entered into the drawing. On Dec 25, 2012 I will announce the Grand Prize Winner. The grand prize package is: I am giving away a $25 Amazon gift certificate or you can choose a Starbuck’s $25 Gift Certificate, plus the grand prize winner will also receive the Golden Mindset eCourse which is a $497 value (you can choose to use the ecourse or give it to someone else as a gift).

Today’s Coaching Tip: How to Get and Stay Empowered

In order to be and live empowered every day, you have got to take action and create the feeling that you are in charge of your life. You are the CEO of your own life and the master of your own destiny. This means that you have to step out of any blame game that you have been playing and decide that you are going to take charge of your life and any situations you face. You always have choices.

If you think you are a take charge kind of person- notice areas in your life where you feel like you are “waiting” for someone else’s decision or action. See if there is a way to be more proactive. You will feel better and the more you do this- the more empowered you become.  There is another secret to this- once you take action and make a decision- you have to let go and release the outcome. An example of this is a student who studies very hard for a test and takes every step to be prepared. Once the student takes the test… the outcome is out of that student’s hands. He or she has given a best effort- and in that moment there is empowerment- knowing you did everything you could.

I have two gifts for you today- one free and one special.

1.  I am offering to you today a  free mp3 from my Success Club Archives – called Empowerment–  (no opt in required- you can just download it)  Click Here to get the free download.

I truly do wish I could wrap my arms around you and tell you face to face that you deserve to live a life filled with joy…

Coaching Tip: Joy is possible no matter what you have experienced in your life…
Throughout my life, I have always been interested in why some people were very successful and other people with the same or more potential were not successful. I read hundreds of books on leadership, motivation, and inspiration. I also experienced tragedy in my family at a young age which left me floundering. Though I tried very hard to create a successful, normal life-I had recurring problems with sadness, fear, and emptiness. My goal was to just get to OK- fabulous, spectacular or even happy wasn’t even on my radar.  I, then, experienced remarkable positive changes by living the principles in my book, Keys to Living Joyfully, and felt very deeply in my heart that I wanted to reach out to other people who were trying to find happiness. I write from a spiritual perspective , and I also, encompass some of the concepts of positive thinking and the law of attraction. I wanted to write a synthesis of everything that helped me and my clients truly experience joy and success—and I wanted it to be simple, workable, and easy to read from my heart to yours.

My book, Keys to Living Joyfully, is for you if you want more joy, more success, and more zest in your life. You will feel loved and inspired as you read.

12 Days of Christmas: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Welcome to Day 7 of 12 Days of Christmas. Every day until Dec 24, visit my blog for inspiration, special offers, and some free gifts.

In addition to each daily special, I am also holding a drawing contest. Every time you comment on the blog until Dec 24, 2012- your name will be entered into the drawing. On Dec 25, 2012 I will announce the Grand Prize Winner. The grand prize package is: I am giving away a $25 Amazon gift certificate or you can choose a Starbuck’s $25 Gift Certificate, plus the grand prize winner will also receive the Golden Mindset eCourse which is a $497 value (you can choose to use the ecourse or give it to someone else as a gift).

Today’s Coaching Tip: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow.

Imagine if you heard on the weather report that there was a 98% chance of snow. Would you resist the snow? – tell the snow it cannot happen? – Would you excessively worry about the certainty of snow? or would you make sure that you had food, shelter, and safe travel arrangements?  You would let it snow… as if there were any other choice. You would accept the snow- you wouldn’t wonder what you had done wrong to make it snow.

In much the same way, we can let go of resistance in our lives. What do I mean by resistance? Have you ever uttered or even yelled the words- “This can’t be happening.”  or maybe you go to work every day in a negative work environment and you rail against it and take every opportunity to complain about it. This is resistance.  When you let go of resistance/push back and accept your current circumstances, you free up energy to actually think clearly and make good decisions to create positive change.

I have two gifts for you today- one free and one paid

1.  I am offering to you today a  free mp3 from my Success Club Archives – called Managing Resistance–  (no opt in required- you can just download it)  Click Here to get the free download.

12 Days of Christmas: Inner Happiness

Welcome to Day 6 of 12 Days of Christmas. Every day until Dec 24, visit my blog for inspiration, special offers, and some free gifts.

In addition to each daily special, I am also holding a drawing contest. Every time you comment on the blog until Dec 24, 2012- your name will be entered into the drawing. On Dec 25, 2012 I will announce the Grand Prize Winner.

Today’s Coaching Tip:  Inner Happiness

This tip today is from one of my most popular articles I have ever written- it has been excerpted in books, reblogged, and cited. I thought it was worth it to share with you today:

“…Inner happiness actually is the fuel for success” Dr, John Hagelin

You might feel like you are doing and thinking the right things- maybe you have a goal poster, affirmations, a strong vision, and you are action oriented- but you have some goals that seem to remain elusive. There are a few things you can consider- one is that the joy and happiness needs to be in place first- two is that you may have a limiting belief in play (I am not worthy, I don’t deserve this, etc),and three – you may need to expand your capacity to receive.

Create your happiness first. Feel good and think good thoughts. Sounds simple- but in reality is challenging for many. You can raise your level of happiness with techniques like using an appreciation journal, be loving, moving your body, listening to music, meditating, prayer, getting close to nature, refusing to indulge in things like complaining, circular thinking, worrying. The more you practice these techniques- the more you will notice higher levels of happiness in your life.

Release limiting beliefs. The first part to releasing limiting beliefs is to be able to recognize them. Use your emotions to help you see limiting beliefs. If you are feeling “bad” you often have a limiting belief that is in play. The belief might be some version of “I am not worthy” of “good things never last” and the list could go on. Recognizing the limiting belief is sometimes enough to release it. Other times- a belief can hang on stubbornly. In these cases, you can write down all of the thoughts and feelings you have around that belief. Then tear it up and rewrite the situation  and thoughts  the way that you want them to be. Fold up the paper and carry it with you in your wallet and read it often. When you release a limiting belief- you feel freedom and create room for manifesting your goals.

Expand your capacity to receive. Do you have trouble accepting gifts? Do you say ”Oh, you shouldn’t have” instead of ”thank you” when someone presents you with a gift?  Maybe you love giving, but have a hard time accepting gifts. This is an area where I have struggled. Here is a fun exercise. Write down one of your goals. Then write down- I am receiving (your goal) now. Do this for each aspect of your goals or vision statements. Notice your feelings and thoughts as you do this. Do you feel a shift in your energy?

Practice cultivating happiness, release limiting beliefs,and expand your capacity to receive. You will begin to see those elusive goals manifest in your life.

I have two gifts for you today- one free and one paid

1.  I am offering to you today a  free mp3 from my Success Club Archives – called 100 Successes–  (no opt in required- you can just download it)  Click Here to get the free download.

12 Days of Christmas: Bold Breakthroughs

Welcome to Day 5 of the 12 Days of Christmas: Bold Breakthroughs.

Every day until Dec 24, visit my blog for inspiration, special offers, and some free gifts.

In addition to each daily special, I am also holding a drawing contest. Every time you comment on the blog until Dec 24, 2012- your name will be entered into the drawing. On Dec 25, 2012 I will announce the Grand Prize Winner. The grand prize package is: I am giving away a $25 Amazon gift certificate or you can choose a Starbuck’s $25 Gift Certificate, plus the grand prize winner will also receive the Golden Mindset eCourse which is a $497 value (you can choose to use the ecourse or give it to someone else as a gift).

Today’s Coaching Tip:  Bold Breakthroughs

I define a bold breakthrough as something out of the ordinary- a daring breakthrough where people feel that something has definitely shifted.

In order to experience Bold Breakthroughs- I recommend that you work on releasing blocks, limiting beliefs, and old stories that prevent you from stepping forward into your success. Also,  let go of emotions and extra baggage that have been weighing you down for years. This will, then, create a sense of freedom and lightness so you can work with beliefs that empower your path to success. Bold breakthroughs boost your confidence and self-esteem. Get started on your bold breakthroughs today by grabbing a notepad and write down everything that  is pressing on you- your worries. When you are done, carefully fold  up your papers and place them in an envelope. Address the envelope- To: God. You have now released  and allowed God to help you. Next, find a beautiful  box (I have a red leather box- a shoe box will do). Place your letter in the box. Then cut out strips of paper. On your strips, write your wishes for your life. Fold these strips up and place in your box. You have now released your wishes and allowed them to be free to soar.  Notice how you feel. Maybe lighter? More clear? I am lifting you up in my thoughts and setting the intention for your best and highest bold breakthroughs now and into 2013.

I have two gifts for you today- one free and one paid

1.  I am offering to you today a free worksheet- my Goal Planning Worksheet for 2013 –  (no opt in required- you can just download it)  Click Here to get the free download.
