“Self” Imagine

Imagine yourself as a woman in love with her “self”
who would you be, what would you do?
Imagine yourself as a woman in love with her “self”
how would you live, what would you see?
Imagine yourself as a woman in love with her “self”
what would you say, what truth would you tell?
Imagine yourself as a woman in love with her “self”
how would you rest, where would you go?
Imagine yourself as a woman in love with her “self”
where is your strength, how does it grow?
Imagine yourself as a woman in love with her “self”
what would you cause, what game would you play?
Imagine yourself as a woman in love with her “self”
how would you shine, what path would you know?
Imagine yourself as a woman in love with her “self”
what flows through your mind, what thoughts you create
Imagine yourself as a woman in love with her “self”
your heart would be true, only to you
Imagine yourself as a woman in love with her “self”
true only to you, trust what you knew
Imagine yourself as a woman in love with her “self”
creating a life, developing bonds.
Imagine yourself as a woman in love with her “self”
what inner wealth

Who rains on your parade?

One of the things you will find with personal development is that no matter how many years you spend transforming your life there will always be those people who remember who you were and who are only too happy to remind you of it!

My ex-husband is a classic example. We met when I was 16, so he knew me when I was shy, not wanting to talk to people, he knew that I didn’t do great at school, especially in the area of maths!

23 years later and he still sees me as the same person, which is understandable because I was still very much that person when we split 7 years ago, a bit more assertive perhaps but me really living my life didn’t really take place until 2001!

So today when he rang my house to speak to our daughter and I mentioned she had stayed after school for maths revision he made a joke about her having his brains. Of course at the same time I made the same joke, and he laughed, and laughed, he laughed hard and for quite a while!

Now usually there will be something in me that would want to lash out, to make a spiteful comment or to become hurt and begin to doubt myself (family are the only ones left who used to be able to still do this!) but instead something quite remarkable happened.

I said nothing…….

even more important…..

I felt nothing……..

I listened to him laugh and there was no feelings, nothing, no hurt, no smart comment, nothing!

I recognised in the face of something that would usually hurt me that I am Great. I am Discovering Greatness and nothing can kill that unless I allow it…..

Fantastic

Fail to plan and plan to fail!

Have you heard of podcasting? Well I learnt all about it today. If you are not familiar with it, podcasting is a way to make an audio recording which is instantly sent to people who have subscribed to your podcasts. No need to send out an email to say "hey, come to my site and download my audio". Instead just upload the podcast and it is automatically sent out!

This opens up loads of possibilities for me as a coach and as someone who loves to share positive and uplifting messages.

So today I not only learnt about podcasting but I also ran a session as part of a Podcasting Expo. My first ever one. I must admit to not planning at all. After all I only had an hour and all there is to do is talk! But I had under estimated just how much you can do. I could have uploaded notes, and provided information about me and what I do.  I really didnt look at any of it until Friday night!

So whilst I didnt fail. I certainly didnt feel I gave this session my professional best. I went in thinking I was going to have a nice "chat" and actually it needs to be so much more than that! The strange thing was that despite standing in front of people and talking, despite talking to teenagers – and let’s face it they are one of the toughest markets out there! Bless them – this was one of the more nerve racking things I have done!

There I was, at home, just talking into a microphone, no one can see me and yet my heart  was pounding so hard I could hear it in my head!! The great thing is that I got to do a couple of EFT techniques on myself because no one can see me anyway!!! And of course the most important thing here is that I stepped through that and carried on.

On reflection what have I learnt?

Find a decent microphone! I really need to look at doing more seminars using conference rooms because there is definitely a technique to learn.  To not underestimate the preparation that is needed before a session
To make sure I have notes and other brochures to give away and most importantly, to plan my work so that I can work my plan!

On the plus side. I met a wonderful woman from Canada with very similar beliefs to mine and it is hopefully the start of another international virtual friendship.

I do know that I will be seriously looking into podcasting. A Personal Development Expo would be fantastic too!

The missing puzzle

I have just found this excellent CD set that talks about an end to goal setting and "doing" and instead focusing on "being".  There is a way to manifest everything we desire but alot of us have not managed to realise what the missing link is. What I really love about this series is the fact that the first thing you are taught to manifest is the money to pay for this course!!

I will be sharing more about this as time goes by and as things begin to show up without me doing much!

Just as I thought…..

…… there wasn’t possibly anything new to come up with online someone always surprises me!

come on England. How about some rap motivational songs or dub :0)

Exponential Growth

Double a penny every day for a month and what do you get?
Over ten million pounds! That’s the power of exponential growth! So next time you see a penny on the floor in your house or you drop it in a jar as unimportant. Remember the power of the penny!

Whatever your age start saving money, spend less and save money. It is really easy to accumulate wealth.  Let me illustrate this concept in helping people – or paying it forward.

Let’s say you did a nice thing for 10 people and you said. I am going to do this for you and I want you all to go out and do one nice thing for another 10 people.  Those 10 people keep their promise and do nice things for 10 people each. Now 100 people have had something nice done for them.

Then those 100 people go out and do the same, now 1,000 people are feeling the joy of contribution!  Those 1,000 people think "this is great" and they go out and keep their promise and help 10 people each. Now we have reached 10,000 people.  And so it goes on and on……

10,000 x 10 = 100,000
100,000 x 10 = 1 million
one million people have now had something nice done for them.

Now just imagine if that was your money!!!!  Invest, think big and having a blessed day
Oh. and just in case you don’t believe me about the penny here it is!
