Overwhelm To Empowerment

THOSE WHO DON’T BELIEVE IN MAGIC WILL NEVER FIND IT
I’m a big Harry Potter fan. I love magic. I believe in it and have ever since I was a little girl. Belief is a big part of creating magical outcomes.
Belief that it’s possible
Belief in yourself.
Belief in your ability to create the life of your dreams!
I had a client who was in a corporate job who felt stuck. She has been in the same job, earning only yearly cost of living increases for 15 years and thought she would be there in that job for the rest of her days.
She couldn’t see another outcome. But we worked through releasing her mental and emotional blocks, past traumas and limiting beliefs and pretty soon she had the courage to identify another opportunity she was interested at her company. An opportunity she thought would be more fulfilling and hopefully pay more money.
Problem was, the job wasn’t available and it didn’t look like it was going to be anytime soon. But magically, within 3 months, the person who had been in my clients “dream job” for many years suddenly resigned!!
Next thing you know, my client was working in that very job she dreamed of and got a 10% increase in pay!
Just like magic.

BE OPEN TO ABUNDANCE COMING FROM ANYWHERE
As entrepreneurs we usually focus on our business as being the channel through which the Universe will deliver the abundance when we become conscious creators.
But doing that often hinders the delivery of that abundance to you. Remember that the Universe can deliver through any number of channels.
Your business is just one channel.
Another channel could be an unexpected tax refund - yahoo!!
But we often confuse things and focus on our business as the Source of our income when it isn't always so.
Our business is just one of many channels through which the Universe or Source can deliver the abundance.
So, be open and relax. Even if the sales aren't coming in through your business, the Abundance can show up in another way.
Now doesn't that take the pressure off a little bit? 😊

CLIMB THE EMOTIONAL LADDER TO SUCCESS
If you're familiar with Abraham Hicks then you know that they talk a lot about getting to a better feeling place using the emotional scale.
But, it's pretty hard to go from the bottom of the scale (despair) all the way to the top (joy) at once.
Instead it's better to treat it like a ladder and climb it rung by rung.
Add tapping (a mind body tool that soothes the stress response) to the process and you can get to (joy) fairly quickly.
Follow this process any time you’re feelings are at the bottom of the scale and pretty soon you’ll find that you’re mostly in the upper levels of the scale on a daily basis. That’s where I’m at 95% of the time.
A couple of years ago, my son was hospitalized for 5 days due to a condition he developed due to severe dehydration and overexertion. He’s all better now but for the most part, I stayed calm during his hospital stay. Because I spend most of my time in a good feeling place already, I was able to keep my thoughts calm and feelings positive so that I could support him while he was recovering.
Same for when our financial situation was a mess and we had tons of debt, once I shifted my emotions to ones that were more positive and supportive, I was able to keep calm and in a fairly short amount of time, we were able to pay it all off.
How to you keep calm under pressure?

What's Your Big Why?

Knowing your big WHY is key to achieving your goals as an entrepreneur. It will drive you to keep going whenever times get tough or whenever you have an obstacle to overcome.
So, wanting to make X amount of dollars isn't enough. Write down why you want to make X amount.

Is it so that you can retire your spouse? Buy a vacation home? Send your kid to college? Give to your favourite charity? Change the lives of your clients? Buy your dream home or dream car? Travel more?

Create a vision for what you want your life to look like that's so awesome, you become unstoppable.

And be careful that are not trying to manifest a change in your life in an attempt to escape something...such as a job you hate or a mountian of debt.

If you are, then your focus is in the wrong place. You're focusing on what you don't want and you will only get more of the same.

If it's not PLEASURABLE it's not SUSTAINABLE

Ever try to develop a new habit only to find you've given up after a few days or weeks?

This often happens to people around the 3rd week of January. We set a goal to lose weight as a New Year's resolution.

We join a gym and go to workout every day or a few times per week but then, our enthusiasm begins to wane and soon we realize that several weeks have gone by without a visit to the gym.

Then we beat ourselves up for not sticking with it which only makes things worse. Unfortunately, most of us motivate ourselves with negative self talk which doesn't work.
If your boss at work told you that you were lousy at your job and that you needed to work harder do you think you would be very motivated? Not likely. So why do we talk to ourselves that way?

So better to change our self talk to the positive and refrain from beating ourselves up when we don't get to the gym.

Instead, celebrate each time you do get there and give yourself a pat on the back. Love and appreciate your body now matter where you are at and you will be more likely make them new habit permanent.

And the same is true for business. Don't beat yourself up for not getting to your follow up calls today. Tomorrow is another day.

Let yourself off the hook and try again tomorrow and pat yourself on the back for whatever you did manage to accomplish today.
