Transcend Old Stories with this Simple Method

Feeling stuck with some limiting beliefs or “old stories” playing around in your head?

You can transcend old stories by using a very simple, yet effective method-  an affirmation:

Close your eyes- put your hand over your heart, take a few deep breathes.

Say “ I am now completely free of all of my old stories. I am transcending them now. I am moving to a higher level of consciousness. I am free now from any limiting beliefs, any old stories that I am consciously aware of and any that are below the surface on the unconscious level. I am completely free right now.”

Did you shift? Use that new sense of freedom to step into action.  Move into action. It is okay to try things and everything does not have to be perfect. You are not going to have a great inspired life if you don’t get out there and act on your inspiration.

 

Warmest,

Sheri

12 Days of Christmas: Create Your Own Rituals for Success

Welcome to Day 9 of the 12 Days of Christmas:

Today’s Coaching Tip: Create Your Own Success Rituals

Every successful person has created rituals to stay on track. Examples of some of my rituals are:

• Writing in my journal every morning
• Lighting candles to celebrate the day- every time I light a candle- I have a short prayer that I say or think to myself.
• Using specific affirmations every day.
• Touching Pomegranate oil to my forehead to bless the day.
• Keeping a stone in my pocket or handbag- every time I touch it- I say “thank you”

These are just a few examples, I have many that I use. The point about the rituals – is that it is a way to remember to keep your mindset and your heart focused on your goals, your happiness, your success.  Today, I have included as your free gift- a worksheet to help you create your own success rituals.

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

Love, Joy and Abundant Blessings, Coach Sheri Kaye Hoff Article by Sheri Kaye Hoff: Methods to Priortize Your Goals and Tasks Here are some popular methods for prioritizing your days as you go into implementing your plan for 2012. Methods for Setting Priorities and Planning 80/20 rule: According to Richard Koch 80% of the results come from 20% of a person’s to-do list. If you have a list of ten things, select your top two to make sure that they get done during the day. A, B, C : Make your list and assign priorities A for the most important, B for the next , and C for the least. Work on your A items first. Then B, etc. If an item on your list is consistently a C item and remains on your list unaccomplished for days, consider removing the item from your list or reassign the priority level. 1, 2, 3: This is the same idea as A, B, C but using numbers instead Yes, no, maybe: Assign values to your to do list based on: yes, I must do this today; maybe I will do this today; or no I will not do this today. Covey’ s 4 Quadrants. (from Seven Habits for Highly Effective People). Quadrant one is urgent and important tasks (deadline driven projects). Quadrant 2 is important but not urgent tasks (long range planning, long range goals that add immense value but the payoff is farther down the road). Quadrant three is urgent but not important tasks (interruptions) and Quadrant 4 is not urgent and not important tasks (time wasters). The goal is to spend the majority of time in Quadrant 2 and then Quadrant 1. 6 Most Important Things to Do List: Make a list of your six most important things to do each day. As each is accomplished , cross it off the list. If anything is left on the list, it goes on the next day’s list and stays on the list until accomplished or priorities change. ( I first learned about this in a book written by Mary Kay Ash). The above methods are suggestions to get you started, pick one that seems workable and suited to your style and your life. Whatever you decide to use, the idea is that a person needs to be able to decide what is important and act on that rather than being paralyzed by a huge unmanageable list. References: Ash, Mary Kay.

You can have anything you want if…

“You can have anything you want if you will give up the belief that you can’t have it.” Dr Robert Anthony

I love this quote.  Our beliefs drive our success or our lack of success.  What do you want? Start seeing it and believing it.  Stop saying to yourself- It will never happen – and stop looking for excuses or someone or something to blame. Believe… I believe in you. I know that if you can believe in you- you will see that goal happen.  I have witnessed many talented individuals, teams, organizations- who never really believe and they plateau or slide backwards…

If you struggle with belief… use affirmations to help you turn this around. Simple statements like- I believe in my skills. I believe that I deserve to perform at a high level. I believe that I am worthy. I believe that I can do it. I believe … (create your own personal statement).

Practice these statements and also notice your own self- talk – be aware- notice when you say… I can’t do it…  With some diligence, you will find yourself shifting to a stronger, winning set of beliefs.

If you want more help changing your beliefs- you may want to check out one of my three books.

Getting Back on Track

Have you been off-track? Perhaps you have been moving along accomplishing your goals and getting to a place where you feel like everything is happening just the way that you always imagined it… then suddenly you are off track. Maybe you even feel unmotivated, un-inspired, and everything seems  difficult. You start beating yourself up and then you feel even worse. Getting off-track is normal.

If you can look at this off-track feeling as a normal part of your success cycle… you will recover faster.  Allow some time to just be in that off-track place. Accept it. Ask what can I learn from this? Be gentle. Indulge in some pampering. Read books just for the fun of it. Listen to music.  Sleep. Have loving conversations with friends and family.

If your off-track phase seems to extend longer than a day or two, here are some ways you can ease yourself back into being inspired and motivated. Do any or all of these and you will begin to kindle the spark of motivation.

Read inspiring books with powerful lessons (Covey, Ponder, Hill, Canfield, Abraham-Hicks- any of my books)

Write an appreciation list in  your Journal.

Write down everything that is frustrating you and then burn it or rip it up.

Use positive affirmations every day (email me to get my affirmations mp3 or get them from my podcast Life Coach and Author Sheri Kaye Hoff on itunes .

Write down a list of everything that you want to be, do and have like it is already present in your life.

Reevaluate what you are already doing and tweak it.

Get your body moving (gentle stretching, walking, running, dancing, vacuuming- anything).

Watch Soul Surfer, Secretariat, Rudy or any other inspiring movie.

Clean out your files on your PC or your files in your filing cabinet.

Wash your car (this probably sounds funny- but I always get motivated when my car is clean- even if I am not the one cleaning it).

This blog has contained a combination of being, allowing, and acting steps to help you weather a period of feeling like you are off-track.

The Power of Aligned Thought

I just read Maria Erving’s new eBook “The Power of Aligned Thought…” I am really impressed by the amount of information packed into this eBook. The eBook is a great read…easy to understand…and flows naturally. At the end of the book, the reader feels like there is a clear understanding of how the mind works…but also how to program the mind (and why it works). If you want a concise read that shows you with great text, diagrams, and charts how to reach the Power of Aligned Thought…you will want to get this eBook. Thanks, Maria for creating a wonderful work. You can get her new  eBook at http://www.MariaErving.com

Relax, Get Calm, Get Centered

I love this meditation video with the quotes…I feel so inspired and relaxed. Take time out of your day to enjoy this and be refreshed, feel calm, and centered.

In the spirit of relaxation…I also wanted to share one of my poems with you today:

A Quiet Northern Lake

Tall green trees meeting the sky…

Sparkling dark cold water…

The sun begins to shine.

I push my small canoe

from shore

gently stepping in.

A quiet balance…

I paddle around the bend.

Alone on the lake…

not a soul in sight.

I lean back and trail my fingers through

the northern waters.

Sighing, I rest.

The sun is warm,

yet the air is chilly.

Ducks look at me tentatively,

wondering.

The lake is the same

as I remembered.

Comforting me.

Welcoming me.

Giving to me.

My heart holds this lake close

when I am far away.

My mind relives the simple, sweet memories.

You were still alive.

I am thankful that I have…

My canoe. My lake. My memories of you.

May you have a few relaxing moments today…

Warmest,
