Love Yourself - IT MATTERS
 

November / 2011

Can you believe November is already here? What happened to 2011?

Thinking about the year, I automatically started visualizing the highlights of the year as well as the struggles. The big lesson I learned this year was to stop projecting how things will work out and just enjoy the moments leading up to the event.

This is easier said than done.

Let's put our heads together and come up with a strategy to spend more time in the moment instead of worrying all the time.

Below are some ideas that work for me:

  • Be more aware of what I'm thinking and stop the thought in midair by closing my eyes and saying out loud, "What is happening right now?"

  • Tell myself, "I don't have to worry about anything right now."

  • Put music on, and dance around the room.

  • Call a friend, and have a good laugh.

  • Go for a cup of coffee, and smile at the first person I meet.

Now it's your turn! What techniques do you use to stay in the moment instead of projecting your fears on the outcome?

Please share your ideas so we can enjoy our lives today and not worry about tomorrow. The first 4 people who send me their ideas will have an opportunity to advertise their services, including a link to their website. So let me hear from you! Send your email to helen@loveyourselfcoaching.net or leave a comment on the Love Yourself - It Matters! Blog.

Building a Business One Step At A Time

What Is Your Purpose?

"Good Things Happen When You Go for It!"
~ Alan Webb

Close your eyes for a second, and think about what brings a smile to your face and makes you excited. Enjoy the moment!

We all have a hidden passion. Could it be helping others or developing a new program or working behind the scenes in making a difference in this world? The beauty is that we can all play a part in enhancing lives.

Think about your business. What dream did you have when starting out? Are you still focusing on that dream or has it been buried? Now is the time to bring it out of hiding. Let your idea come alive, and start creating miracles in your life.

When I started Love Yourself Coaching, my dream was to support others in feeling good about themselves and accomplishing anything they wanted. In a sense, my dream has been buried while building my business, but at the same time it was always in the background. Subconsciously, I created programs that helped coaches grow their businesses while receiving support from experienced coaches.

Remember, your business can be used as a vehicle in making your dream a reality. So dust off your vision, and, as Alan Webb, the author of the above quote, states: "Good things happen when you go for it."

Some small steps you can take for making your dream a reality:

  • Describe your dream in writing. Make sure you include everything you can think of that will enhance your vision.

  • List the many ways your idea will impact the lives of others.

  • Write down the different ways it can be presented to the world.

  • List all the fears that can stop you from moving forward.

  • Tear all your fears apart, and create new concepts you can implement.

  • Document the different types of support you will need in moving forward.

  • SHARE YOUR VISION WITH EVERYONE YOU MEET. Miracles happen all the time.

Now take a deep breath, and take that first little step that will bring your dream to reality.

My dream was to host a television show and interview seasoned business owners. This vision would popup constantly. I sat down one day and did the exercise mentioned above. What I learned was my idea could be implemented, and I was on a journey to make it happen.

A few months later I was at a party. While conversing with one of the guests, we started sharing information about our businesses and dreams. All of a sudden, I just blurted out that I wanted to host a television show and interview business people. To my amazement, she said, "I work for a television station."

A week later I was being interviewed, and now a pilot program is scheduled for November. My dream has become a reality!

So go out there, and tell everyone about your dream. You never know what miracles will happen.

Now it's your turn! Take the time to complete the exercise above. What did you learn about your dream, and what small step are you going to take? Write down one of the dreams you have for yourself or your business. Start picturing yourself achieving your dream. How can you make your dream come true? Start collecting ideas to make it happen. Please share your thoughts with the Love Yourself - It Matters! Community. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
