Many success articles focus on helping people “get there” – you know, achieve the goal. I, too, have written many articles on how to attain goals. Most of my clients come to me because they have a goal they want to achieve and they want help making it happen. But what happens after a major goal is achieved? The logical answer is to celebrate the achievement and then focus on the next goal. And that is also good advice.
I use to worry about this. I would think- “What is the matter with me?” I even felt guilt. I thought I should be supremely happy and when I would go through sadness after achievement, I frankly, could not understand myself.
What I have learned is that this is part of the cycle. I see it in myself and my clients. Recognizing that sadness is also a part of the goal achievement cycle helps give a person perspective. I go through it every time I finish a project, finish a book, or any other important goal. I give myself space and time. I don’t try to talk myself out of it. I honor my feelings and allow my emotions to unfold. I am gentle with myself. I practice excellent self-care. I take baths, listen to soothing music, read books for entertainment, and doodle in my journal.
When you are ready, you can move on to what’s next.

What you need to almost guarantee success is burning desire. Authors W. Clement Stone and Napoleon Hill assure us that without burning desire, you will not achieve a high level of success. Burning desire is a rare thing. Most people do not dare to cultivate a burning desire for anything because the second you allow a burning desire, there a fears that get churned up. “What if I can’t do it?” or “I don’t know how to make it happen.” or “What will people think?” are some fear related thoughts that may arise for you.
Why is it important to cultivate burning desire for your goal or goals? Burning desire is what carries you through when things go wrong or very, very slow. Burning desire keeps you going. Without burning desire you could end up stopping just when things are about to break open. Burning desire assures that you will cross the finish line.
If you have a goal and you feel like you have lost that burning desire or never really had it in the first place, what do you need to do to get it? First, look at the real reason, the real why. This is why you want the goal. What difference will your dream make in your life and the lives of others? Next, let yourself be filled with burning desire. Think about your goals as if they are really happening. See yourself achieving each phase of the goal. What does that feel like? Be the energy of your goal. It takes some practice, but as everyone who has ever achieved worthwhile goals realizes- it is worth the effort.
If you would like some help in creating goals that ignite a burning desire within you- Click Here to book a free coaching session with me. I have a limited number of free sessions that I offer each month- so if you are excited about this- be sure to book right away.

Do you think it has to take a long time to achieve your goals? What if you could manifest your goals fast- like right away, now, today? In order to manifest your goals fast, you need first make a paradigm shift. Instead of thinking that it takes a long time to achieve goals, what if it were just as likely that you could achieve your goals fast? Remember time is a man-made concept.
Often, fast is good. The reason fast is better than slow, is that momentum is on your side. Think about the time you decided that today is the day you clean your garage, basement, etc., after waiting for weeks or even months. You get going- and a few hours later, you are done. You wonder why you spent months thinking about doing it or even doing little bits and pieces of the job.
Here is another example. I enjoy writing. I write when I am inspired and I easily write several hundred words without feeling it is difficult. One weekend, I decided to challenge myself and see how much I could write over the two day weekend. I wrote over 18000 words. It didn’t feel hard. I still went out for dinner, washed clothes, and had time to relax. This was, by far, the most I had written over two days.
And one more example, when I lived in Wisconsin after I was first married, we owned a very large lot along with our house. We had two garages- a brand new garage, and an old, rickety garage. We could not tear down the old garage because it was right on the property line and if we tore it down, we would not be able to rebuild. For two years I stared at that garage. It had several decade’s worth of peeling paint.
Finally, I decided I was going to do something about it. I had never painted anything. I researched how to do everything and gathered my supplies. My neighbors laughed at me because I was trying to rescue something so old and dilapidated. My daughter Sonja was a year old and refused to stay in her playpen outside. So I scraped paint while holding her in one arm- for one whole day. Then I primed the next day- for the whole day (holding her in one arm). The third day, I painted the whole day (with my daughter in one arm). I set my daughter down once- and she ran through the paint pan and I had little colored footprints on the sidewalk. I did not feel tired. I was energized even though my arms ached. The 4th day, I had new garage doors installed with openers. A few weeks later, a relative stopped by and asked when we replaced the old garage and put up a new garage. She was in disbelief when my husband said, “Sheri painted it.” I know that if I had stopped at any point, the project would have bogged down and I could have been looking at an incomplete, half done job for another two years.
What are your goals? What could happen fast for you? Challenge yourself today.

Welcome to January’s 7 Day Jump Start (you can use this Jump Start anytime you feel like you need to get back on track and find the lightness and happiness in your life- it doesn’t have to be at the start of the New Year). Each Day – I will feature a jump start tip/activity/exercise to help you really get your energy moving and bring you closer to your goals. Today we are on Day 7- you can still start with Day 1.
Day 7 . To achieve a goal- your energy needs to be vibrating at the same level as your goal. Sometimes you might feel spiritually or mentally exhausted- and then you wonder-” how can I raise my energy level so I can magnetize my goals, if I just feel so scattered and worn out?” . You can begin to shift by using a physical approach. Boost your energy by moving your body. It doesn’t really matter how you move it- stretching , running, walking, dancing, etc- even just ten minutes will shift your energy to a higher level. You will clear out congestion, create balance and alignment, and raise your energy.
If someone said to you, “If you just move your body for ten minutes a day- you will achieve more of all types of your goals (not just the fitness related goals).” Would you do it? If someone said- “you will make more money, have better relationships, or create the career or biz of your dreams- if you just move your body for ten minutes a day” Would you do it?
To achieve more, we need to energetically be at the the level of our dreams.
Right now… you can begin moving and commit to movement every day- not just as a way to look better- but as part of the overall picture of raising your entire energy vibration level. You can make this fun, too by adding new types of movement- try a video, a class or a one on one session with an expert.
Congratulations- you have completed the 7 day jump start of activities to boost your energy.
Warmest,
Sheri

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.

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.

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
