The good news is that research has been documenting that anyone who has a strong intention to change a habit or create a new behavioral pattern can do it (short of big physiological challenges such as addictions). 


It takes at least 21 days of repetition with no backslide.  If one backslides, then starting from day one is indicated.

 So with the above as a premise then coaching becomes even more positive for the coachee!  This is what happens:

• When someone contacts me for a consult for stress-anger management coaching and sounds motivated (vs. depressed; keep in mind I'm talking about coaching, not therapy) then I am happy to share this research and they are happy get started. 

• Each aha, each positive action becomes part of the bigger success plan.

• The accountability is both to themselves and to me.  The progress begins with the first conversation when there is motivation involved.

• When the goals have been reached, the coachee is encouraged too indulge in healthy celebration!

 

 

• Stay in communication for open ended follow up.

Do you know about Aura Sheilding with Light & Love Emittance?
This is always a powerful practice to set up for yourself, especially while traveling, which I've been doing a lot of recently.  This is the how and what:

• Center and ground yourself in a quiet place without distractions.   I find "The Mountain Meditation" via Dr. Jon Kabat Zinn, "Wherever You Go, There You Are" to be excellent for this purpose:

• Visualize a white - lavender aura surrounding your body reaching out at least as far around and up as arm's distance.
• Visualize a stream of light entering your aura from Source above and streaming down into the Earth. 

• Affirm your energetic shield of protection is with you wherever you go and that you have the ability to renew it whever you choose.

It's simple, if you have a prosperity mindset you know that each

day requires you to take action.




Here are other ways:


Study the Way Successful People Act Try to learn by example. If you admire someone successful then do

what they do.
 
Learn by example.  Reach out to those that you admire.  It may come

as a surprise but people love to know when they move people and

inspire them.

Setting Goals

 
Dreaming and affirming will not take the place of setting a goal. 

How will you get there?  Think about it, write it down.  Set

   realistic, achievable goals. Stick to it.

  Never Give Up

Realize that even the most successful people have had    failures

and times when they wanted to give up just like you and I!

Constantly have an image in mind of your goal, paste it up on your

wall at home, or near where you are all day!  Remind yourself and 

revel in it!  Act like it has already happened!

Hire A Coach
 

Everyone defines prosperity differently.

It would do you well to speak with a coach if you are questioning

your beliefs or you are not sure you can adopt this mindset on your

own. A coach can break it down for you to look at in a more

clear way and make a plan for your journey.

 All relationships thrive on openness and honesty.   Revealing your true self to others may be challenging but will likely prove ultimately rewarding. The honesty with which you present yourself can help you form personal partnerships and business connections that allow you to be yourself and foster caring and loving relationships.

You open yourself up to a new world of closeness and foster caring and loving relationships when you admit to yourself and to others that you, like all people, have vulnerabilities. Many people, fearing rejection, hide their weaknesses, perhaps even to themselves: denial. By doing that, they may be limiting wonderful interpersonal connections.   It is only when you are honest about your emotional needs and unique vulnerabilities that you can begin seeking out those individuals who have the strength to fulfill your needs and accept you for who you are. 

If you or someone you care about is experiencing blocks in these areas, relationship coaching can help.

Building Strong Relationships 

We carry within us everything we need to know to make progress on our paths to self-realization. You are the one: The outer world serves as a mirror. All we need to do to see that we already have everything we need is to let go of our belief that we need to seek in order to find. 

 Most of us know that getting what we want only makes us happy for a moment... We do not have to travel to find it or imagine that it resides only in the body of another. In fact, what the best teachers will do is point out that this very precious elixir is something we already possess.

We can turn to ourselves when  we find ourselves on our path, not knowing which way to turn and wishing for guidance.   When we simply ask, let go, and wait patiently, an answer will come.


The more we practice this and trust this process, the less we will look outside ourselves for teachers and guides for we will have successfully become our own.  Trusting yourself, trusting your intuition paves the way for a life of fearlessness and success.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a magnificant tool to overcome fear about almost anything including fear of self trust which is often veiled as fear of trusting another (the mirror effect) , perhaps fear of intimacy.

It happens to all of us.  We have been hibernating during the Winter, and all of the sudden Spring is upon us, at which point we find out, we are simply “out of shape” not to mention hungry, thirsty and in need of much-wanted nourishment.  And it is not just about the body, but the mind and emotions tag right along with it, as well as the “I” word…(shhhhh…Intuition!) – Such a marvelous word, amazing gift, wonderful companion, and yet, so many of us tend to ignore its power, usefulness, and all together, GPS guidance system that takes us places we never knew existed; especially, when we come out of hibernation…no matter the season.  Do you agree?

Mystery builds when we don’t know where higher guidance is coming from and yet, it simplifies itself when we ask for clarity and as if by magic, clarity appears, to be the guiding light to our path to development and best lives ever.

This is all part of you being in spring training.  You need to learn how to be fit in all areas of your life, so that you can be ready to tackle what’s yet to come.  Hibernation is easy, coming into Spring needs training.  Let’s get ready, shall we?

CONSIDER:

• Do you feel like you’ve been on ICE way too long?
• Are you hungry for a new way of life?
• Are you ready for a new of being?
• Do you have a support system?
• Are the people in your life ready to be there for you NOW?

OPTIONS:

• Choose new beginnings.  (The past is PAST.)
• If your phone rings and the PAST is calling, tell them to go to voice mail, you’re sure there’s nothing new for them to say.
• Be picky who you spend your time with, as they could be joining you in your next hibernation!
• Your time is NOW, not tomorrow.
• Exercise…your right to move, to think, to speak, to gather, and to think out-loud.
• LAUGH! – Uncle Albert in Mary Poppins wisely tells us to do so.  “The more I laugh, the more I feel with glee, the more the glee, the more I’m a merrier me.” (Mary Poppins – 1964)
• Spring will spark your creativity.  Give it a try.  This is where you can really begin to grow, nurture and display your greatness.
• Be happy that you are who you are, and not somebody else’s version of yourself.
• Strategize.  These are your most fertile months to forward-think into how your future will look like.

ACTION PLAN:

• Always know where you’re going.  Get a coach or mentor to help you design your future now.
• Lack of clarity is lack of light. No one can live in the dark for long.  Find a way to turn on the switch.
• Identify those who can help.
• Ask them to join you.
• Have a steady income, even if in a “trickled-down” kind of way.  You can start something new but NEVER by utilizing your back- up financial income or cash reserve.
• Know that what you have to offer is of great benefit to others.
• Relish in your greatness.

NOW and always…get back to me!

 

 

 Related Article:  The Miracle of Movement Can Drastically Change Your Learning Disability.

Parents and teachers: Do you have a Whole Body Learner in your life?

 

Whole Body Learners need to use their whole bodies in order to learn.

That means movement, but movement in a learning situation is usually interpreted as disruptive or disobedient rather than intelligent. So it can take some doing for parents and teachers to change their minds about the importance of movement for these learners. Often these kids are labeled hyperactive or ADD.

 

The ideal learning situation for these students includes “doing” as much as possible: going on field trips, acting out lessons, presenting demonstrations, walking around while listening or thinking. These learners need to “feel” the learning taking place in their bodies. So, instead of reading or listening to a lesson about bridges, they need to build bridges...or make a model of the pyramids, or plant an actual garden, or design a city, or set up a store to learn about money...In other words, they learn by doing.

 

In the Classroom

Teachers can encourage these learners by suggesting these types of assignments: make a movie, do a presentation, put on a play, present the lesson through dance, build or make something. Be aware that these learners need to get up and stretch often, especially if they are required to sit at a desk doing book work: a few exercises or a walk around the room can do wonders (why do you think some kids “need” to sharpen their pencils so often?!).

 

These learners can also be encouraged to use whole body movements to learn new concepts or skills. Examples: learning to tell time by using their arms as hands of the clock; walking a number line to learn the concepts of adding and subtracting; walking on large maps to learn geography. And this isn’t just for preschool or kindergarten, but for college students as well!

 

Homework

Encourage Whole Body Learners to take frequent breaks when doing book work. As often as possible, coach them to learn through movement. For example, if they are memorizing facts they can try bouncing a ball while saying “Columbus discovered America,” or throw a bean bag back and forth while reviewing with someone, or jump-rope or jump on the trampoline while reciting a lesson or poem. These movement activities also work for listening: e.g. jump-rope while listening to a book on tape.

 

By the way, the more these kinds of activities are incorporated in the learning, the fewer “breaks” will need to be taken. The movement is what’s needed so if these students are learning through movement, their needs are being met.

 

Adult Whole Body Learners

Students who are Whole Body Learners grow up to be adults who are Whole Body Learners! If someone teaches them about learning styles and the Whole Body Modality, they will learn how to use this strength in their everyday lives and on the job. But most adults who are Whole Body Learners often have trouble acknowledging this need for themselves, because growing up they learned that it was “wrong” or “bad.”

 

These are the people who need to work out while they mull things over, or need to wake up in the morning by dancing around, or need to walk when working on the solution to a problem.

 

People who are Whole Body Learners and are aware of it can use this information to help them find a workplace or career that suits this need. Some obvious careers include actor, dancer, builder, and tour guide.

 

Recognizing Learning Styles

Whenever you recognize and acknowledge your learning styles you are a step closer to fulfilling your unique mission in the world. Using your strengths and doing what you love fills up your spirit—and that affects your relationships, your finances, and your whole life in wond

erful ways!

 

If you think you might be a Whole Body Learner, give some thought to how you are using this gift.

 

If you have a child or student who is a Whole Body Learner, help that child to discern what part this gift will play in fulfilling his or her mission in the world.

Today's Inspiration for my Small Business Marketing Tip & Success blog post  is Eileen Lichtenstein's Article titled:  Everyone's got a story right? 

 

Yes, Eileen is right and that gave me the idea to bring up this small business marketing tip that only the successful business owners know how to do effectively.  What is  essential that I see too many entrepreneurs exclude is an effective about me page. I am not talking about your about the company page or portion I am talking about the page that talks about you as a person, if you are your company that is even more important.

 

 If you have an online business, it is even more  important that you share with your visitors  who you are.  It takes it to the personal level and that is where relationships form.   If you are a small business, your web site visitors  most likely have never heard of you.  They may have clicked on your site hoping to find out more about who you are and why they should listen to you regarding your business. If they can't find this, it is a red flag for most that says you have something to hide.   

 

The way you tell your  story is also imperative  so it lays the foundation for that oh so important Key to Success= Relationship building. 

Everyone has heard the old saying,  "People buy from people they know and trust." and that is very true so how can your social network or web site visitors get to know you? 

The small business marketing tip we are focusing on today is the ABOUT ME page.  If you don't have an about me page you are missing the human factor.  That factor is what gives you the advantage over  the big companies that have no face.  

 

You have a face and you want to show it in more ways than just with a picture of you, which you should have on your web site's about you page.   No picture and No, About YOU= No Business.  That is the bottom line.  You can't afford to leave this out of the equation. 

 

If you are missing the about me page add that today and follow my check list and let's increase your business today.  

 

Small Business Marketing Tip Check List For Your About Me Page:
 

Without boring anyone and without revealing too much let, people know who YOU are. 

 

 

1.  Introduce yourself and tell everyone  what you do now.

2.  Share in a personal way what motivated you to start your business

3.  Share what is important to you regarding what you do.  Your mission statement is a great way  to show what you stand for as a person and company. 

4.  If you belong to any charities list them and talk briefly, why they matter to you.

5.  If you have a family, mention them briefly let people know you are a family oriented person if that is true.

6.  Allow your unique personality to shine through.  Don't try to sound like anyone else, the more real you are the better.  People can sense sincerity and they can also sense when it's missing.   Talk to them not at them.

7.   Have a sense of humor this is your about me page don't sound like a corporation.  If they wanted a faceless huge board of Directors Corporation, they wouldn't be considering you.

8.  Show people know what makes you someone that people love to do business with.  Tell a personal story here.  Show people by telling them how you did something.  That goes a lot further than simply saying I am great.  Show how you are great.

9.  Don't sell anything on this page.  This is for sharing about who you are let it sell itself.  What I mean here is don't say now buy this.  You should have a call to action that is the next tip.

10.  The way you want to conclude  your about me page is with a call to action to sign up for your personal e-zine where the relationship building continues.  I will talk more about how to build relationships with your e-zine coming up in another marketing tip blog.  Stay tuned for that more tips success and small business marketing tips.
