March 2008 - Back in the Swing
Procrastination VS Processing
Several
subscribers have emailed me over the last few months wondering when the next
newsletter would be sent. Some even went so far as to re-subscribe
thinking I erased them from my database! Having received at least
one email from me a month up until October, these subscribers wondered if I had
packed up and left town or possibly gone into hibernation for the winter.
(Although I don't like the cold and could really DIG curling up in a warm
blanket and sleeping for 4 months, I wasn't hibernating). But like many of
my subscribers, I ALSO wondered what was holding me back!
Was it
procrastination, laziness or something that I've discovered we humans rarely
take into consideration (or give ourselves credit for)...PROCESSING?!
Did you ever
find that the thing you need to do the most gets put off more than anything
else? You call it procrastination and you judge yourselves for being weak
or stuck. And before long, you land up pulled down into a depression - oh
boy, now you're really stuck!
But do you
ever consider that you live on a cyclical planet of ebbs and tides? Or gives and
takes? Or inhales and exhales? We can't move full speed ahead at
all times just as the tide can't consistently be high or we would experience
flooding on a grand scale!
Certain
animals instinctively hibernate to avoid the most stressful time of year; a time
when they would burn more calories trying to find food than they'd get back from
the food if any was even found. These animals don't judge themselves
thinking they are weak, stupid or lazy. They happily prepare for
hibernation. Their rest and rejuvenation allows them to be vibrant when
they emerge from hibernation - ready to take on the world again!
When you feel
stuck, it is wise to look into the possibility that something internal
might be holding you back - perhaps a fear of change, success or failure, or a
pattern of limiting beliefs. But if you can rule out these things, than I
can encourage you to look within for the patience required to wait
(that's right - WAIT) on a situation that might be in the hands of something
bigger than you...until things are ready to start moving again. And by all
means, avoid the temptation to judge yourself!
During
coaching sessions and workshops I've found clients who typically beat themselves
up the most over "procrastinating" have actually accomplished much more than
they are willing to take credit for! They overlook all the steps they've
taken if they don't see quick results (be it weight loss, return on some
investment, completion of unfinished projects, etc.) and they slap
themselves with a label that says "STUCK".
Just as
animals need time to rest and conserve their energy, humans need time to
PROCESS! Your "computer" brain takes in information every micro-second of
every day! That's a lot of information, ideas, energy and drama ...and how
the heck can you take all that in and continue to stay "full steam ahead" all
the time?
I encourage
you to trust that during your "human hibernation" or processing time, that your
internal "computer" is actually downloading information that it will use once
the processing is complete. If you have ever downloaded new software on
your real computer, you understand the need to turn off all other applications
and restart your computer. Can you apply that same principle to your
brain? Simply believe that even when things appear to be "stuck" that
something is really happening - filling you, refreshing you, and
preparing you to move forward successfully. And don't fight the
process!
Now I'll share
with you what I "received" during my PROCESSING time ;)

NEW PRODUCT:
Exciting
news!!!
I'm ecstatic to
roll out the following product I've spent the last 8 months working on. I
created this product to alleviate a disturbing epidemic amongst many of my
clients - LACK OF CONFIDENCE and very low levels of self-esteem!
Similar "limiting beliefs" or "limiting behavior" were plaguing my
clients and robbing them of the confidence they must have in order to
obtain a successful and fulfilling life. Through training my clients to
swap their limiting beliefs with healthy, confidence building beliefs,
they began to finally reach goals, make confident decisions and take risks
they never had before! This product is a compilation of the most common
limiting beliefs and behaviors (that previously held my clients hostage),
as well as a healthy replacement or "confidence building behavior".
"SWAP the BS that's
blocking your CONFIDENCE!"
This behavioral card deck reveals the truth about your
BS (Believe System); how it affects your confidence and your
ability to enjoy life to the fullest.
Check it out!!! I'm extending a $5
discount to all subscribers who purchase a deck by March 15th! ($14.97
instead of $19.97) Don't wait, get yours now!!

LET IT ALL OUT! (a workshop)
How
suppressing your voice can make you sick (or worse!) As a child reared in
an abusive household, I was afraid to make a peep! I never fought back, rarely
complained and cried silently. As an adult, the habit of suppressing my own
voice was so ingrained in me, it felt normal, so emotions continued to stay
“stuffed” inside. By the time I reached my late 30’s, I was obese and
suffered from all types of chronic pain and depression. I attended a “sound
healing” workshop which helped me finally make the connection between keeping
my feelings in and the affect it had on my physical and emotional
health. Letting my voice out in a safe and caring environment was
instrumental in my overall healing and weight loss. Now I speak, laugh and
cry with gusto – and I’ve been told my singing is not too shabby

(A positive attitude won't make you feel better if you haven't
gotten the pain out yet!)
