Strategy Sessions

This week’s Strategy Session: What Your Body Says

Body language says a lot about what you’re thinking and feeling. Your thoughts and feelings tend to show up in your facial expressions and even they way you carry yourself.

Think about it:

Do you frown all the time? Or do you always have a smile to offer?

Are your eyes dark and heavy? Or do they sparkle with energy and excitement?

Do you walk lightly holding your head up high? Or do you slog along as if every step that you take is drudgery?

All of these things tell others what you think and how you feel about yourself. And others will treat you accordingly.

Strategy Session: Becoming Conscious

Your thoughts and feelings go hand-in-hand. When you think negative thoughts that shows up in the way you physically feel. And when you physically feel bad that shows up in the way you think.

So, make the decision to become conscious about how you feel. Pay close attention to the thoughts that accompany those feelings. Once you’re aware of these things then you can begin consciously to change them. And then all your body language will say is, “I’ve arrived!”

Strategy Session-Taking Charge of Your Life

Every second of every day, you make one decision or another about how you use your time, spend your energy, and the things you put your focus on. But the vast majority of those decisions are made on autopilot.

Most people believe that they’re required to use their time, spend their energy, and put their focus on they don’t choose to all the time. But, when you’re conscious-aware, you can take charge of your life. Being conscious-aware means that you’re alert, wide-awake and in control of all the choices that you make and you’re not just puttering along on autopilot like most people.

This mindset allows you make choices based on pure knowledge. You’ll be empowered to design the life you want not the life you think you’re required to lead. You choose how you use your time, spend your energy, and the things you put your focus on.

Once you’re able to do this, you can see that there is a larger picture. Then it becomes easier to break that larger picture down into smaller pieces that are easily managed on a daily basis. It’s managing the small pieces that allow you to move forward and begin living the life you desire.

Strategy Session: Become Conscious-Aware

This week begin do your best to stop living life on autopilot and become conscious-aware of the decisions you make. Find it within yourself to take control. Then decide just how you’ll use your time, spend your energy, and what things you’ll focus on. Then set your priorities based on these conscious-aware decisions.

You’ll see that things still flow but now they flow with a purpose. And you’ll find that going with the “flow of purpose” is much easier than being on autopilot. You’ll feel less negativity. The stress will be gone. You’ll feel relaxed. You’ll always be one-step ahead. And you’ll be empowered to live the life you truly desire.

Strategy Session-Unlikely Gratitude

Unlikely Gratitude

I give this session to all of my clients. It’s their very first “move ahead” exercise. I ask them to make A Gratitude Journal. And what better time than the week of Thanksgiving and right before the holidays when most of us are already beginning to feel the holiday spirit. Now, this isn’t your run of the mill GJ. In this journal, you’ll write down all the obvious things you’re grateful for your home, family, dog, cat, bird, iguana etc.

But you’re also gong to write down some of the things that you may be ungrateful for at the time. For example, your flat tire, a disagreement with your significant other or BFF, all the bills accumulating on the kitchen counter. Okay, I can see the way you’ve cocked your head looking at the screen thinking, “have you lost your mind. How can I be grateful for those things?”

Being grateful isn’t a some time thing. You’re either grateful for everything or your not. Gratitude is an all or nothing proposition. It’s life style. Everything that happens in our lives does so to teach us something about others and ourselves. It’s up to us to discover the lessons and put them to good use. It’s about looking beyond the situation.

Let’s take the flat tire. Yes, it’s annoying and it’s a real pain the backside. But, be grateful that you got off the road, could call for assistance, someone stopped to help, you or someone with you knows how to change a tire, you had a working spare, you made it to a repair shop, no one was hurt. Those are all things that you can be grateful for.

When you have a disagreement with someone, be grateful for the chance to clear the air, speak your mind, get the other person’s point of view, say I’m sorry or hear the words I’m sorry, for the chance to make up, to get closure, or solve a problem, to learn something about the person or  from the experience.

So, now you understand how it’s possible to see-pardon the phrase-the “silver lining” in those situations but I can see it,  you’re still looking puzzled about why you’re grateful to have debt. The first step to manifesting any abundance is to see your “debt” for what it really is and be grateful for it. What I mean by that is look at all the things your “debt” has brought you.

For instance, it’s brought you your home, your car, your education, that new 52” HDTV, a brand new Blackberry, whatever material items you’ve acquired. It’s important to take timeout everyday to be thankful for all the things you have. Look around your home and say to yourself, “I’m grateful for this beautiful home and all it contains.” I’m grateful for all the abundance I already have.

Strategy Session-Journaling

Begin today to write down ALL the things that you’re grateful for, not just the perfect things. Make at least one entry in your GJ twice a day until it becomes habit. Make a real effort to look past the obvious and see what lessons the seemingly negative situations are trying to teach you. Learning to see the positive in the negative is one the most important keys to begin living the life you desire.

This Week’s Strategy Session-When and How to Say No!

No Absolutely Not!

The word “No” can be your friend when used under the right circumstances. As I tell my clients this isn’t a license to be self-centered and choose not to be productive or be of service to others. But, there may come a time when you need to be a bit selfish and choose how productive and giving you can be.

There’s a huge difference between being self-centered and selfish. If someone is self-centered, they have the attitude that it’s all about them. They consider themselves the center of everyone’s universe. Nothing or no one else matters. They tend to create drama and they really could care less about anyone else’s feelings.

Being selfish means, you have a sense of belonging to self or having characteristics of self. The suffix “ish” means a sense of “belonging to” (Danish, British, English) “having characteristics of” “after the manner of” or “like.” When you choose to be selfish, it simply means that you have a sense of belonging to self.

There’s only so much one person can accomplish in a single day. And with the holidays just around the corner it seems that the already lengthy “to do list” is ever growing with more with deadlines and more obligations.

And trying to cram too many activities into too little time can cause negative feelings to build up in a hurry. But saying, “No, nope, no way, uhuh, can’t happen, ain’t gonna do it-can go along way to alleviating your stress.

But all joking aside, it’s not easy to say no. Most of us want to be helpful and feel some sense of purpose and most of have a deep desire to help others.  But learning when and how to say no just might make you feel more positive, less stressed, and make you productive in the end.

There are many reasons for saying no. For instance, by saying no to adding more on to your existing commitments you’re in essence saying to yourself that you choose to focus and devote quality time to your current responsibilities.

Also, by saying no you can free up time to pursue different interests. If you’ve always helped plan the holiday office or family party let someone have the reins this year. You’ll have more time to actually sit back and enjoy quality time with your family and friends. And do some things that will create wonderful memories for you and your family.

Also by opting out every once in awhile you give someone else a chance to be of service. Things may turn out differently from years past with someone else at the helm. This means that you could have an entirely new experience at the same function. And. it may give you a chance to learn something new by letting someone else do it.

And the most important reason for saying no is your health. When you add so much on to your existing commitments, you simply can’t take care of yourself. You get sick more often. You feel run down. You being to feel resentful about your time and after a while you’re simply not really happy. Mind, body, and spirit must function as One for us to be truly healthy.

Strategy Session-When and How to Say No!

Determining just when enough is enough isn’t easy for sure. So here are a few strategies to put in place to help you decide when and how to say No.

Focus, Focus, Focus

Decide if taking on a new obligation will interfere with your current responsibilities and priorities. If so, unless the obligation is extremely important to you or will impact your life in some lasting way, say no. Remain focused on what you currently have going on.

Guilt Free
Don’t let someone else guilt you into taking on more. Simply say, “No, at this time I have a full plate. I know you understand.” And leave it at that. You don’t owe anyone any explanations. If they harping on it keep repeating your reason, don’t change it and don’t offer them any other reason.

In a Pinch?
If someone’s in a pinch and needs your help decide if saying yes will cause more stress. If so, try to do what you can short-term to help but don’t take on the entire obligation yourself. Be sure to make this clear to the person. And let them know up front what you’re able to do. And once again don’t let anyone guilt you into anything. Remember it’s okay to be selfish once in a while

Saying the Dreaded No

The word No may be the most powerful and dreaded two-letter word in the English language. Say it to yourself, it has definite meaning and purpose. Don’t be afraid to say it. And don’t be afraid to mean it. Anything other than the word No may be interpreted as maybe or I’ll try or even yes later on. Don’t leave anything to chance-make sure, you say No if that’s what you mean.

Give a simple honest reason for saying no. Never ever, lie and don’t go into a huge complicated explanation. Again, you don’t owe anyone any reason for saying no. Your carefully weighed reasons are good enough.

Be ready to rinse, repeat, and stand firm. Some people have a hard time taking no for an answer. They may keep coming back hoping with enough badgering you’ll say yes. Don’t. Stick to your reasons and just keep sounding like a broken record. They’ll eventually get the message.

When you do choose to say no, be empathetic to the cause. Give those who are working on it kudos. But just because you’re empathetic and appreciative doesn’t mean you have to commit. Pick and choose what’s important to you then when you do say yes it will mean much more and you’ll get more satisfaction out the commitment.

Strategy Session-Allowing Your Intentions

In order to move forward you must learn to set effective intentions. An intention is more than a goal it’s saying to yourself and the universe that you will move forward. That you’ll take the creative action needed to do so.  Setting Intentions is the first exercise that I give to my clients as their very first “strategy session-move forward assignment.”

In order to know exactly how to move forward, you must be clear about your intentions. When I first started doing this myself, I didn’t quite understand what it meant to get clear about my intentions. I simply thought by stating a particular intent that I knew what I really wanted. Boy was I wrong. And, some of my intentions really fell under the, “be careful what you ask for because you just might get it” category.

Understanding just what it means to get clear before setting your intention, will keep you from making some of the same mistakes that I made when I was first learning to do this. Getting clear means knowing exactly what you do want, not what you don’t want.

That’s where I made my mistake. I stated what I didn’t want, which was not to work at my day job any longer. And guess what with in a short amount of time no job. I didn’t state what I did want which was to help others move forward in life. It took a bit to get there. But eventually, I did.

Getting clear means knowing exactly what you do want. It doesn’t mean knowing how it’s going to happen. For instance when I finally realized what I was doing wrong. I simply set my intention that, “I allow myself to be self-employed and make money helping others.” I didn’t worry about how it was going to happen and I didn’t make the intention too specific.

When you start adding specifics and trying to figure out how it’s going to happen, then you’re setting out to sabotage the intention. Your putting way too much pressure on yourself.  Any time you “this/that” an intention meaning you’re thinking: I can’t do, be, or have this until I do or have that or I can do, be, or have this if I do or have that first. You’re in essence saying to yourself and the universe I don’t believe or have faith enough to let the intention take its course.

Next, pay attention to how you phrase your intentions. Using phrases, I want or I need indicate a feeling of lack. Try to state each intention from a feeling of expectancy. Say, “I allow” instead. This tends to open your mind to accepting that whatever intention you send out will happen.

Strategy Session-Allowing Your Intention

First, clearly set your intentions-know what you do want. Write them down and then focus daily on each intention but no more than three at a time. Let’s say you intend to find the career of your dreams. That’s a good place to start. Now focus on that intention and decide exactly what that career is. Remember don’t worry at this point How it’s going to happen. Just say what you Do want.

Once you know exactly what you want say with conviction, “I allow myself to be (fill in the blank with whatever it is you want to be).”  Then relax and allow the universe do its job by having faith that your intention will be honored. As you’re able to let go and allow, you’ll begin to see opportunities pop up that can help make your intention happen. Be sure that you’re prepared to jump on these opportunities. The universe will provide but you must be willing to accept and allow. If you don’t, those opportunities may not be around very long.

As I tell my clients, if you’re new to setting intentions, I’d suggest starting small and watching how each intention unfolds. Then when you get more comfortable and are sure, really sure about what you do want, put it out there. Let the universe do its job and jump on the opportunities provided. Good luck and good intentions.

This week’s Strategy Session-Help!

Sometimes we simply allow ourselves to be drawn into situations we really don’t belong in. The more we do out of the kindness of our hearts the more we’re expected to do. It ends up that we take on far too much responsibility for others and then have no idea how to relieve ourselves of the added burden without hurting the other person, causing family strife, or possibly losing a loved one or dear friend.

These feelings can cause you added stress, relationship problems, and even feelings of resentment about the person you’re helping. The best way to avoid this type of situation is to learn to say “no” in the beginning when appropriate.

Now, I’m not suggesting that you don’t help others. I believe with all my heart and soul that helping others is one of our main purposes in this life. But, you have to know how to walk a fine line between helping and enabling. When you’re enabling someone, you’re no longer helping, you’re actually making the situation worse for them and you. So there are times when saying no may be appropriate.

Also, you cannot devote so much time to helping someone else that you allow their burdens to become your burdens and keep you from setting priorities and achieving your goals. I always get the “do you have three heads look” when I suggest that sometimes you have to be selfish. Most people don’t understand the concept of being selfish. They equate selfish with selfless.

Selfish means that you are full of self. You have to put yourself first in certain instances or you cannot help yourself or others. You must put yourself first when it comes to your health. You can’t run yourself ragged and be of any use to anyone else. You must put yourself first when it comes to when it comes to creating the life you want for yourself and your family. They are counting on you to do so. And you must put yourself first when it comes to your personal and spiritual growth. Only you can walk your rightful path.

Selfless means that you could care less about yourself and anyone else. You’re going to do what you want no matter what. Even if it means stepping on toes and casting others aside to get what you want. When you are selfish you are living from a more spiritual and authentic place. When you are selfless, you’re living without regard for anything.

Strategy Session: Take time to get clear about what you’re really doing. Are you helping or enabling? Not what you think on the surface but what you believe at the core of your very being.  If you are helping then decide how much of your time you can give and continue to help. If you are enabling, you need to find it within yourself to take a step back from the situation. This is where you have to say no-no matter how hard that might be.

Set your priorities and stick to them. For instance, let’s say you work, go to school, have a family and a household to run. Your priorities might look something like this:

Family-always first
Work
School
Household (cleaning, keeping up)
Helping others

Now that you have re-identified your priorities, stick to them. Make time to help, because it’s important. Giving of yourself and helping others is one of the most selfish things you can do. But don’t allow yourself to take on other’s burdens when they really don’t belong to you. This is enabling, not helping. Remember, “God helps those who help themselves.”

This week’s Strategy Session-Create Your Achievement Notebook

Before you can achieve anything in life, you have first to set your mind to Achieve Mode. Henry Ford said it best, “If you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.” The way you think plays a huge part in what you’re able to achieve in life.

To begin, sit down with a pen and notebook. Label the notebook, “My Achievements” and be sure that you keep it handy. Think about the things you want to achieve. Then list each one at the top of the page (one per page). Then make three columns one labeled “I Can, I Think, and I Know.”

“I Can” refers to the things you can do that will lead to your achievement. “I Think” refers to the immediate thoughts (the roadblocks) that you have about taking action-this is what we’re trying to change. “I Know” refers to the ultimate conclusion the action will bring.

Let’s say you want to free yourself of some additional weight. You’d write at the top of the page, “I will discard 20lbs. in the next 3 months.” I’m using the term “discard” in this case because when you lose something you generally want to find it. But when it comes to weight once it’s gone, you don’t want to find it again. You simply want to be free of it forever.

Make your achievement as specific as possible but don’t drown yourself in the specifics. Be sure that you don’t let the specifics become an excuse for not doing it. Put a time limit on making it happen. That keeps you focused and moving forward. Make your achievement as challenging as possible but not so much that you give up before you get good and started.

So, now you have your notebook with your achievement written at the top and your columns below.

I will discard 20lbs. in 3 months.

I Can                                      I think                   I know

Meditate daily-Why             That’s just a             It helps relieve
do I overeat?                         waste of time           stress/quiets my                                                                                      mind

Walk at least 15 minutes      Too hot/tired           It’ll relax me and                                                                                       make me feel better

Pick healthier foods to          Too much $$            I can find cheap
eat/cook                                  too much time          healthy recipes

Strategy Session:
Create your own Achievement Notebook

This week create your own Achievement Notebook. Start by deciding what you most want to achieve.  Then each day take 15 minutes to write down your achievement and fill in your “I Can. This is where you begin to take action. Next, write down whatever roadblock that immediately comes to your mind under “I think.” Then take a moment to really consider your achievement and write down what you know beyond a doubt that will move you forward. This is your action step. Now that you have an action plan you can Leave the “I think” I can behind and move forward to “I know” I can achieve what I truly desire.

This week’s Strategy Session-Allowing Yourself to Have

Every time you start to say you want something…stop! Don’t say it, and try not to think it. Because “wanting” signifies lack and if you focus on lack well, you get more lack. So instead, try to phrase it as, “I allow myself to have (whatever it is that I desire).”

Would you rather want to have something or just have it? I think the answer is clear. Most of us would already rather just have it. Allowing yourself to have also opens up your mind. It helps you to believe that you really can have what you desire.

But when it comes to prosperity and abundance most of us tend to fall short of this belief. We can’t seem to allow ourselves to have. Most of us spend our time saying, “I want more money.” Instead of, “how I can create more money?”

So how do you get to the “allowing yourself to have” when you don’t have it yet? You have to feel as though you already have it. See yourself with money. Find other ways to feel abundance. Abundance isn’t just about money. Allow yourself an abundance of friends, good health, and love. This will help you to feel prosperous already.

Stop trying so hard. Take creative action and relax. When you take creative action, you’re doing your part. The Universe or Source will comply. You just need to open yourself up to allowing good things to come into your life. Look for the opportunities they’re there. Once you’re able to accept some good things, more will follow.

Strategy Session: Taking Creative Action

Schedule your regular payments. If you have any payments that are the same each month, like a car or insurance payment, put those on an auto draft. That way the money comes out before you can miss it. Also, when payments are on auto draft it will make you feel more prosperous. It’s very liberating not to have to worry about a bill, even if it’s just one.

If you normally buy the bargain brand or less expensive brand of an item then just once, buy the more expensive brand and don’t blink an eye. Say to yourself I can afford it and I deserve it as you pay for it.

Now I’m not suggesting you buy the most expensive of everything and wreck your whole budget. Just do it with one item once in awhile and it will go a long way to making you feel prosperous.

Also, stop announcing to the world how bad you have it, or how bad things are in general. Remember what you put your attention on you attract. So only, put your attention on things you really desire to acquire. So for this week feel begin to see how you can feel more prosperous. Then keep doing the little things so you can build on that feeling.

This week’s Strategy Session-The “Butterfly Affect”

The Law of Intentional Consciousness says that your thoughts and feelings must be a vibrational match in order to manifest your desires. This law states that to be in control of your life you must intentionally be aware or conscious of your feelings and the thoughts that accompany those feelings.

You may be thinking…monitor my every thought! No, that’s not it at all. You couldn’t possibly monitor your every thought. But you can monitor how you feel. You can learn to know the difference between a bad feeling and what you’re thinking at the time and a good feeling and what caused that.

Then intentionally and consciously choose to focus more and more on the thoughts that make you feel good. And less on the thoughts that cause you to feel bad. This is where your “butterfly thought” really comes in handy.

Your “butterfly thought” is a thought that you can call up any time you need to instantly feel better. The type of feeling you’re trying to connect with is the same type of feeling you get when you’re on a roller-coaster heading down the big drop. Or, when you’ve gotten unexpected good news, it’s that exhilarated butterfly in the stomach feeling.

This is what I call the “butterfly affect.” Because once you get that little butterfly feeling in your stomach then that one good feeling starts to ripple out into several good feelings. And the good feelings just mount one on top of the other until you’re in the right vibration to begin manifesting your desires.

You’re looking for a thought that will make you smile until your face hurts when you think about it happy. Now that you know the type of feeling you’re looking for and you have at least one thought that gives you the butterfly affect. Focus on that thought and feeling anytime you notice the bad feelings creep in.

When you find yourself feeling stressed, anxious, or frustrated or any other negative feeling, take a moment and a deep breath and say to yourself, “I’m feeling a bit stressed, anxious, frustrated (fill in the blank with your feeling). I choose to focus on butterflies instead.”

Then think about your “butterfly thought.” That should immediately change your feelings and thoughts so that they are more of a vibrational match to your Source. You’ll know instantly whether you’ve accessed the right thought. Your mood will change and you’ll feel a smile cross your face.

Strategy Session: For the next week practice paying attention to your feelings and what triggers them. Then spend time accessing your “butterfly thought” to change your feelings from bad to good.

Once you learn to do this easily and effortlessly you’ve already changed your point of attraction from primarily negative to primarily positive. And you will soon notice better and better things begin to happen.

This week’s Strategy Session-Getting More Done

Anytime you’re starting any kind of project at home or at work, set a timer for 50 minutes. For the entire 50 minutes, give the project your undivided attention (if possible). Work solely on it and try not to multi-task. When the timer goes off, stop working on that project for 10 minutes. You can work on something else if you must, but better than that take a break, a short walk, clear your head, stretch, or take some deep breaths. After 10 minutes, reset the timer for another 50 minutes then go back to work on that project if it’s not finished. Or you can start another one and alternate working on different projects until they’re finished. But try not to alternate more than two projects at a time.

You’ll be surprised how much you can get done in 50 short minutes and you won’t feel so overwhelmed. You’ll be able to stay focused and this will help you get more done. So, set that timer and get to work.

This week’s Strategy Session-Leave it Behind

Decide today right now. What from your past do you want to leave behind…anger, shame, regret? Choose one or two things that you refuse to carry with you any longer. Write them down on a small piece of paper. Then take a moment to quiet your mind. Once your mind is quiet hold the piece of paper up and say to yourself, “I wrap this in the white light of my Source. I choose to allow Source to free me of these things that no longer serve me.” Then set the paper on fire and watch it as it burns out. Once the paper is finished burning, you should feel more peaceful and calm. Then say, “I choose to be empowered and through Source it is so, and so it is and for this I am truly grateful. It’s that easy…

If just try it, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can free yourself of the things that no longer serve you.

This week’s Strategy Session-Affirmative Meditation

For the rest of this week do your best to set aside 15-20 minutes every day. If nothing else this process will simply give you some breathing room, so that you don’t feel so overwhelmed by daily life. Affirmative meditation is a different form of meditation. Instead of just watching and releasing your thoughts, which is what you do in most forms of meditation, you repeat affirmations to yourself during this process.

This form of meditation is used to help you connect with your Higher Source and Authentic or Spiritual Self by allowing you to dispel some of the pent up negativity that is stored away. Begin by simply being comfortable, now not so comfy you want to fall asleep, but comfy enough to relax. Start breathing deeply. Make sure you’re breathing easy, not gasping, just slow easy deep breaths.

Say each of these affirmations to yourself three times as you inhale and exhale…I breathe in positivity, I breathe out negativity, I breathe in pure white energy, I breathe out dark stagnant energy, I breathe in Source, I breathe out Source.

Once you’ve done this, simply remain quiet for a moment. Continue breathing deeply and just listen to yourself breathe. If your mind starts to wander say your affirmations again, repeat this process until you can sit with your mind quiet. As you finish this meditation say…I choose to be empowered through Source, it is so. And so it is. And for this, I am truly grateful.
