Words of wisdom on being upset...

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 21:20:00 +0000

Now, here’s the good news about being upset:

If you weren’t committed to something important to you, you would never be upset. So, it’s always great that you’re upset because that means you are committed to something important to you. Phew! You see, most people have it that being upset is bad and that’s simply not the truth. Being upset means you are committed to something important to you. Knowing this, you can feel the freedom to breathe when you’re upset.

Now, here’s the bad news:
If you find yourself upset, the only way to make it disappear is to take responsibility for it. How you ask? Here’s how:

First, stop and breathe, slow down. Often when we are upset, our blood pressure rises. The first step is to become aware of your body and breathe even if your blood is still pumping as fast as lightning.
Next, look for what you’re committed to, and stand in your commitment. For example, if you’re committed to a wonderful marriage and you’re upset with your husband or wife, stand in your commitment to having a wonderful marriage, not in your being upset with your husband. Being upset has no power and any conversation coming from upset WILL NOT work.
Third, let go of being upset about what YOU did or didn’t do that has YOU upset. Take full responsibility for what you did or did not do. Yes, you. Take FULL RESPONSIBILITY no matter how sure you are it’s the other person’s fault. Know that commitments come with failures before you reach success. So if you’re upset, YOU failed to do something or not do something or refrain from something that aligns with your commitment. Take responsibility. It could be as simple as taking responsibility for never asking someone for the help you need. You assumed something about someone or were afraid to say no to someone.
Then, forgive yourself. You’re human.
Finally, when you’re ready to communicate, whether your upset was with your husband or wife or child or coworker, speak of your commitment, and refrain from talking about your being upset.

Ever notice, talking about your being upset doesn’t make it disappear? That’s because talking about how upset you are gives life to being upset. At best, ‘venting’ releases pressure in the short-term. Unless you take responsibility for what YOU did or did not do regarding YOUR commitment with yourself, you will find yourself upset about the same things over and over again. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes being upset is perfect and it’s what you need to further your commitment. However, if you find yourself being upset about the same things over and over, and you are ready to try something new, here’s how: COMMUNICATE YOUR COMMITMENT. It goes something like this:

What I’m committed to is…..
What I did (or didn’t do) in alignment with my commitment is….
I request of you…. –OR- I promise to….

Communicating what you’re committed to and what you did or didn’t do aligning YOUR actions with YOUR commitment can often disappear any upset you have with yourself or others. When I say disappear, I really mean disappear.

Still don’t believe me? Try it and let me know what happens. If you were still upset, you might not have connected with the commitment that’s important to YOU. Be sure to communicate the commitment that leaves YOU inspired, not the commitment that you feel is ‘best’ or ‘better’. Connect with what YOU want, not with what you feel you “should do” or how you “should be”.

The good news: Being upset is all about YOU.
The bad news: Being upset is all about YOU.

We are all individuals and everyone is different. Find your voice and speak your truth. Starting today, make promises and requests in alignment with YOU.

Quit Smoking Organically

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:09:00 +0000

With the new year soon upon us, many people will make new year's resolutions to quit smoking and then, they'll postpone the actual quitting day until later in the year. Only to fail completely in their new year's resolution. Well... in this blog, I am giving you what you need to quit smoking the organic way: structures. You might ask, why structures and what are they? Structures are new things put in place to replace what smoking is for you. In other words, what can you do when you're upset if you're an emotional smoker or what can you do to relax after work if you are a relaxation smoker or what can you do if you need to do something when you would usually smoke?! Well, here's some great, organic, natural structures you can put in place to replace your smoking. Oh, and by the way, I speak from experience in quitting smoking myself! Here goes:

1) Find a new activity that you like to do. Pick one that is healthy and do it at least 6 times a week.

For me, doing yoga worked. You might think that 6 times a week is a lot and it is, but this is an activity to replace your smoking, which you probably did every day. Other activities include, going for a walk, a jog, painting, sculpture, playing music, etc. It has to be a NEW activity; something you did not previously do. Choose something you've been wanting to do for a while -- this is your opportunity to finally do it!

2) Choose a buddy. Ask a friend or family member to be your support system for those moments when your body is telling you that you need nicotine. Your buddy is someone you can call when you have a strong urge to light up. Every time you want to have a cigarette, call that person and even if they don't answer, leave them a voicemail about what your feeling and say everything you want to say. Keep talking until your urge subsides.

My buddy was a friend who has lupus, a form of cancer. She never could understand why in the moment of an urge to smoke, I would choose smoking, i.e. cancer over being healthy and cancer-free. She had cancer and didn't get to choose to be cancer-free. In my weakest moments when my addicted body wanted to smoke, I would call her and I would always choose healthy and cancer-free over smoking after talking to her.

3) Read a book on quitting smoking to support you mentally. I recommend, "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr.

I personally did not read this book, but I have heard amazing things about it and many many people who quit using this book review it with 5 stars!

4) Be prepared for an opening of emotions. Create some time for you to relax and feel what you're feeling. Tell your family members how you feel. Quitting smoking causes an opening of the heart chakra, the emotional center of the body. So, expect to feel more than you've ever felt before and let your family know that you may be emotional so they are prepared and supportive.

I know it sounds funny, grieving smoking. However, on a spiritual level, smoking keeps smokers "safe" - it keeps your heart chakra closed and many smokers are not open to feeling as much emotion as non-smokers. Give yourself time to shed your "protector" - the cigarette smoke - and allow the veil of smoke to lift and expose your clean, open, heart. Give yourself some space to cry if you need to cry or scream into a pillow if you need to do so. Allow yourself to be anything AND quit smoking.

5) Do a cleanse. I recommend working directly with a nutritionist for a cleanse.

I have a fantastic schedule for a raw diet cleanse that is easy on the system and includes eating throughout so I never feel hungry.

6) Make choices in alignment with who you want to be.

I noticed that smoking seemed to be one choice for me and often when I would try to quit, the next thing I knew I was smoking. So I started to make all my choices one by one and in doing so, gave myself some room to quit. I counted five choices that lead up to smoking. First, you have to get the cigarette (either bum one or buy a pack). Second, you have to put the cigarette up to your mouth. Third, you have to light the lighter or the match. Fourth, you have to put the lighter or match up to your cigarette. Fifth, you have to inhale. So, as you can see there are many choices along the way you can make and even if you choose to smoke 4 times, you could still decide not to smoke on your last choice. To see every choice you make with smoking will create an awareness to all your choices and you might start making different choices. In this case, as long as you choose smoke-free in 1 of 5 choices, you are going to quit!

7) Hire a life coach.

I am a life coach and my responsibility is that you uncover what's stopping you from quitting. If you think it would help to uncover your blind spots and allow you to see what's stopping you from having what you want, a life coach like myself can surely help.

With love, power, and magic,
Kristine

What is a Life Coach Anyway?!

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 20:06:00 +0000

As a life coach, I address peoples' questions every day about life, love, family, relationships, career, money, you name it. However, I have noticed that the questions most often asked is, "what is a life coach?" Today, I would like to dispell any confusion on exactly what a life coach does, especially because that's who I am! You might be surprised about some things you didn't know about my work and you may even find yourself inspired to make a difference in your life or perhaps in the lives of others.

Let me begin by telling you what life coaching is NOT. Life coaching is not psychotherapy or counseling, nor is it training or consulting. Though, at times a coach may combine these disciplines, depending on his/her professional training, background, certification, or licensing. Life coaching, itself, is a separate profession that focuses on the present and on what you need to hear and do to create the future you want. You see, most of us live our lives thinking about the past or the future 99% of the time. In fact, humans have an average of 60,000 thoughts per day and 95% of our thoughts today are the same thoughts we had yesterday. AND 80% of those same thoughts fit into a category most people would call "negative". Then people wonder why 113 million prescriptions were written for anti-depressants last year. It's because we are living in the past and the future and mission the joy, happiness, and miraculous life we're living in the present. The idea behind working with a life coach is to be conscious of your thoughts and gain skills in being present. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with living life the traditional human way, in fact it is simply what humans do and how they survive. However, living life in the present is something that offers joy, happiness, fulfillment, freedom, love, power, and self-expression to people on a whole new level and today life coaching is becoming more popular than ever.

The process of generating presence in your life takes practice and sometimes can involve facing fears. Life coaching can involve clarifying your values, your goals, your mission in life and your gifts, among other things. As a life coach, I facilitate this process by asking provocative questions, offering honest feedback and inspiring you with new ideas, concepts, strategies, frameworks, and tools that help you reorient you around success, as you define it. Throughout the process, the coach (that's me!) offers a supportive environment by instilling confidence in you when things are moving forward and respecting you and removing barriers when progress gets stalled.

I coach most of my clients one-on-one, over the telephone. Yes, over the phone and that's a great way to be coached! Not only is more convenient for you, but I am also trained to listen for what is being said and not said on the call, and it's amazing what we can accomplish in a short time! You will identify what's stopping you and create powerful ways of removing barriers all in your own space, whether it be home, work, or anywhere else you live your life. I also coach groups in workshops and I coach individuals via email, and in person, especially for those who prefer face-to-face. I also coach live classes, teleclasses (via teleconference) and have a free newsletter/blog (you are reading it!!). Another great way I offer coaching is for couples, pairs of friends and families. Being coached can sometimes be best when you're not the only one making a huge stride forward in life! You can also practice the tools for living life fully together and support each other powerfully through the coaching process!

My philosophy is that to support you in making the difference you want to make in your life. As your coach, I will provide you the following:

A series of tools to connect to your own wisdom.
A powerful way to connect with your truth, not the story you tell about you.
How to use key words and language skills for greater clarity and ease of communication.
The use of visualization, identifying body signals, and other physical resources as powerful ways to cause self-generated breakthroughs.
The distinction between empowered and disempowered listening and the results of both on your and your relationships.
Ways to remember the experience of being coached so you can integrate it into your life quickly and easily to transform areas that are not working into freedom, power, and your unique self-expression.

The work of a coach requires sensitivity and flexibility on my part and commitment on your part. I may be different with you than with another client because everyone is different and I will identify your favorite ways to be coached and what works for you is what I will do. I take a loving, powerful approach - we'll have fun on every call - and I promise to ask you to do some things you might not want to do. I will ask you questions you need to hear and I will hold up the mirror so you can see how you are being. I literally show you how to create the life and the future you want. The nature of being coached can be "outside of the comfort zone" at times and I will know when to be sensitive if you need to slow down and just have me listen.

Welcome to Being Beautiful!

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 01:19:00 +0000

Welcome to Being Beautiful, a blog that has you get how beautiful you are and how being beautiful is the key to experiencing life as an opportunity (yay!), not a chore (boo)!

This blog demonstrates my experiences as a life coach and throughout this blog, I am speaking from the heart. To explain a little more about what I mean by speaking from the heart, I will share a recent experience. I recently discovered a company called HeartMath when I was at the Prophets Conference in Los Angeles. I heard the founder of the company speak and he mentioned that before the 17th century, the heart was considered the "brain" of the human body. It wasn't until the 17th century when a scientist (I don't remember his name) discovered that the heart was the source of circulation that people began to consider the brain as the "brain" of the human body. So, I went on to consider that my heart was my brain and make decisions in life from my heart. Thinking with my heart has been an opening experience for me and I encourage you to take it on as well.

What's coming from my heart today is to remind everyone to love each other. I know this sounds cliche but I would like to assert that love of others comes directly from loving yourself. What don't you like about yourself? Make a list. What don't you like about your body? Make another list. Now, make a list of what you love about yourself. And add to it what you love about your body. Notice which list is longer. It's a shame these days how many conversations we run into with marketing and with others about what we don't like and what's not good about us. If your "love" list is short, and you're not feeling too great, it shouldn't be a surprise. You are in more conversations about what you don't like than what you love [about yourself]. Transform your conversations about yourself and you will transform your life.

With love, power, and magic,
Kristine

Both Sides of the Ego...

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 15:15:00 +0000

Photo by judepics

Yes, you read it correctly, there are two sides of the ego. I bet you thought there was only one part of each person called "the ego" and that is true. However, there are many sides of "the ego" (or rather "the she-go" for us women). So here I am, addressing, identifying and distinguishing two sides of the ego in such a way that empowers you. The intention of this blog article is for you to begin to address, manage, and develop a relationship with your ego and to look at and acknowledge ALL sides of your Self, including two sides of your ego aka she-go, in such a way that allows you to create a partnership with your ego, allowing you to love your life automatically. Yes, I just said, automatically.

Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, your answers live inside you and they don't come from your positive or negative view of life; those views come from your ego; your answers will come from your Self. So there you have it, your ego is always either giving you the negative view or the positive view. Have you ever noticed how you judge mostly everything in life as negative or positive? For example, if you are on a baseball team and your team wins, that's positive. If your team loses, that's negative. If the weather is what you want it to be, that's positive. If the weather isn't what you want it to be, that's negative. We judge things as negative as individuals, but there is also unwritten, unspoken agreements making entire societies view certain things as negative or positive. Some societies and cultures view some things as positive while others view those same things as negative. What does that mean? It doesn't mean anything. However, given that this is how most humans function, I would assert that most people are not expressing their Self, they are expressing either the positive or negative view of their egos most of the time, i.e. 80% or more. And this happens individually, culturally, nationally, and internationally, across all humans.

You are probably well-acquainted with the term 'egotistical' meaning 'a selfish, self-centered person' and most of us feel that being egotistical is negative, right? Well, I would assert that we are all expressing our egos more often then our Selves. And it's not bad that we are or that we are not. Let me explain, if you view a person as a 'good' person, the positive side of your ego is in play. If a person is a 'bad' person in your view, the negative side of your ego is in play. If you have a 'bad' day, your negative ego has run the show. If you have a 'good' day, your positive ego has run the show that day.

So, what if we take away our egos, remove our judgments, both negative and positive? What happens? What we're left with is our Self. And who we are without our egos is simple, alive, empowered and it is absolutely beautiful! And to be honest, if all you're left with is your Self, there's not much there. If and when your true Self is discovered, most people get a sense of peace and calm, you might even call it nothingness. Now be careful, this would be an opportune time for your 'negative ego' to jump in and tell you "nothingness is a bad thing." Or, your 'positive ego' might think nothingness is a good thing, a relief (phew!). Either way, it's just your ego talking, not you. You are your Self. No matter what, if there is what I call 'a charge' there, either positive or negative, it is your ego at play.

For now, practice noticing both sides of your ego. Watch your ego 'go' as it judges everything in your life as positive or negative. Watch what it says to you, watch what it tells you to do, start identifying the ego's views as simply that, the ego's views. At first you might feel like that's all there is... the ego's views. Be patient and with time, you might find your Self in there hiding, almost like the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain that is your ego. Once you find your Self, have a conversation with that side of you, your Self. Find out what's really going on and perhaps even ask your Self some questions, perhaps those questions you've been looking outside yourself for... I promise the answers you get from your Self are YOUR answers. The answers you get from your ego are positive or negative and often relate to society's answers. Still not sure about this exercise? Consider Martin Luther King Jr. or Ghandi... I promise they listened to their Self who told them to stand for what they believed. The part you don't know is that their egos were probably telling them to give up and all along they kept listening to their Selves and kept choosing to take a stand against all odds. What is your Self telling you to take a stand for? Who are you for others? A popular term for this answer is called 'finding your purpose'... I speak with many people all day long looking for their purpose. Like I said, the answers are inside you if you listen to your Self... you might be surprised.

So, on that note, I'd like to say... Enjoy your exploration of who you are and your purpose and by the way, don't worry about your ego, she'll still be there for you when you're done talking with your Self!

With love, power, and magic,

How to Manifest Your Intentions

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 20:57:00 +0000

Photo by jordics

There's a lot of talk these days about manifesting your intentions and a lot of people asking me how this actually works. In addition, there is a lot of skepticism about whether manifesting intentions is even in the realm of possibility or is it just some 'airy fairy' way of thinking. Let me break it down for you.

To talk about 'manifesting intentions' is the same as saying that your thoughts produce physical manifestations in your life. And to be honest, it's not a theory or an idea that this is the case, it's actually a physical law of the universe. Yes, it's physics. 'Manifesting intentions' is not something that the personal development industry (including myself!) 'invented' as a fancy way of marketing. It's actually a way of explaining how one might work with the laws of physics to be creative in life. Still skeptical? I didn't believe it until I started to notice what my thoughts were... that's the first step.

1) Notice what thoughts you're having

If you are experiencing things in life that you want, notice what thoughts you've been having about those things. Notice what you're experiencing in life that you DON'T want, what thoughts are you having about those things? Here's the deal, we have an innate human characteristic to be right about what we think about. Take an honest look, what are you being right about? For instance, if you don't think you will meet someone and fall in love. Are you being right about not being able to meet someone and fall in love?

2) Sort out your thoughts

Some of your thoughts are going to be consistent with what you want and others will be inconsistent. Those that are INCONSISTENT are supporting you in manifesting what you DON'T want. Don't plan on ending those thoughts, in fact, don't even try to end them. What you can do is this: be sure not to think those thoughts at any length. If you notice yourself obsessively thinking about something or someone that leaves you disempowered or unhappy, be careful because they are now in your Realm of Manifestation. Your what?! See the next step.

3) Determine your realm of manifestation

Your realm of manifestation starts with a thought. Remember, thoughts come and go 60,000 times per day. We don't know where they come from and although we may know how they 'travel' through the body, we do not know their source. They're just there, in and out all day long. Here's the key to remember: thoughts are NOT automatically in your realm of manifestation. You choose what enters your realm of manifestation when you starting thinking about your thoughts. I call this a thought-conversation. Don't worry if you have a thought about something you don't want (in fact, don't worry at all -- that's a different article), but take a look and see what thoughts about what you don't want turn into entire 'conversations' in your mind? Those 'conversations' are inside your realm of manifestation. Any thoughts that turn into a conversation in your mind's eye are in your realm of manifestation.

4) Clear your realm of manifestation

Your realm of manifestation is chalk full of materials, both desired and well, less-than desirable. Remove yourself from having those long, drawn out conversations in your mind about things, people, adventures, business opportunities, etc. that you don't want to manifest. Start choosing only conversations that honor what you want in life. At first, it may seem a little tricky, but trust that you actually can choose what your mind thinks about, especially at any length.

5) Choose thought conversations that inspire you

Now for the best part where we will take it one step further. Once you begin to unlock the opportunities to manifest what you want in your realm of manifestation, maintain thought conversations, not only about what you want, but choose to think about what inspires you. Not sure what inspires you? Research the internet, look for photos, people, articles that inspire you, go shopping, or for a walk in nature. Look for what inspires you and think about it, bring it into your realm of manifestation. Being inspired is automatically caused by having thought-conversations about what inspires you. This raises your physical vibrational level and allows the laws of physics to work for you.

6) Now you're ready to set intentions

An intention is what I call a 'spin on life'. Setting an intention is as simple as creating a background, a 'spin' on your life. It's not a truth about life. It's just a spin, so don't get carried away believing your intention. Just allow it to be a 'spin' and choose a 'spin' that inspires you! What spin would you like to put on your life? Some popular ones are: 'I'm always happy', 'everything is always perfect', 'nothing is wrong', 'everyone loves me' and 'enjoy the now'. Intention can also be posed as a question such as: show me how..., show me why..., and show me what's next...

7) Look for physical manifestations of your intentions

Whether your intention is a statement or a question, now it's your job to look for the answers. Trust that they WILL show up. Trust that the intention is manifesting. Be right that you are manifesting your intentions and look for clues and proof. Notice the people you meet, the conversations you have, notice if any of the happenings in your life are tied to your intention. Another fun way to approach intentions is to create one and then set it aside and forget about it. In about 2 weeks or more, take a look at what your intention was and see if you can think back on whether it manifested or not. Have fun with it... see if you can be right that your dreams WILL come true!

Intentions still not working?

If you're working with intentions and it's STILL NOT working, you might consider the following:

1) Are you manifesting that they won't work by still thinking they won't work? Your thoughts that your intentions won't work or that the whole thing is 'stupid' will get manifested if you're still thinking them.

2) Are you creating intentions that suit you or intentions that you think you should create? Often we are flooded with information on what we should do or what we should want or be. If your desires are NOT yours, they may not manifest. Inauthentic intentions are the same as trying to manifest something you don't really want... so somewhere in your mind, you're still manifesting what you don't want against what you want, which stalls the whole process.

3) Are old thought patterns still in the way? Consider going back to step 4 to clear. Even though I've mastered manifesting intentions, I often re-visit step 4 to clear myself before setting a new intention. What this means is that old thought patterns and habits might have creeped into my realm of manifestation and it helps to always take time to clear again.

4) Are you giving up too soon? As soon as you set your intention and start looking for proof that it's working or not working, you might get some signals that it is working and get excited. Then, next thing you know, there are no signs it's working and you start to believe it 'fizzled' out at which point, you've killed the intention and accidentally created the 'it fizzled out' intention. There is no guarantee in time how long it takes for an intention to manifest. I've seen them manifest in days and I've seen them take months to manifest. Don't give up your intention or start thinking about how it's not working because that will stop it in it's tracks. Every step of the way, you must hold the intention as if it is sacred [mental] space, and have thought-conversations consistent with that intention. Lastly, TRUST that it will manifest.

5) Maybe something else is in the way? Consider what's stopping you? Tell the truth and make a list. From that list, you can deduce the thought-conversations you are having that are manifesting your reality. Clear yourself of those thought-conversations before proceeding (i.e. step 4). Release them or clear them up with the person they are related to with a real, live conversation.

As a Life Coach, I can sense my clients' thought-conversations that are not consistent with what they want in life. Even though my clients are sometimes reluctant to admit they are having them, I can often hear them loud and clear in his or her speaking. This allows me to clear my clients realm of manifestation so that they are free to create what they want in life! In the process they also learn to clear themselves and that's a gift for life!

With love, power, and magic,

Kristine

How to Achieve Financial Freedom

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 20:30:00 +0000

Photo by elbfoto

Financial freedom is one of those things that people are always striving for or they have already accomplished it and sometimes don't even know it. You see, financial freedom is only as YOU define it. It's not something 'out there' that you are trying to find or trying to get to or achieve. It is only accomplished by setting the stage for what financial freedom is for you. Is it a certain dollar amount in your bank account? Is it a certain feeling you want at night when you go to bed? Is it a certain number of hours of work vs. play per week? What is financial freedom and how you achieve it is not only the promise of the coaching program I designed, Financial Freedom, but also the topic of the day in the news. With the economy the way it is, there is a lot of fear, resignation, and negative 'feeling' and conversation about what's in store for our future both as individuals and as a country. I find it upsetting myself when I consider my own financial freedom at times. Until I remind myself what financial freedom really is... because when you are aware of what financial freedom is, you can always find solace in your own power to manifest and create financial freedom any time, place or day, no matter what circumstances.

Now, I'm not saying to quit your job and meditate that you have financial freedom. That in and of itself does not and will not unlock the power of financial freedom. Here's what will:

1) Define what financial freedom is for you.

When I first set out to create what financial freedom was for me, I made a list. It included: owning my dream home and being able to purchase anything I wanted without feeling any negative feelings. Fairly quickly (within a year), I actually accomplished financial freedom as I had defined it, but right away I noticed that my original definition of financial freedom didn't fit. There was something missing (I'll get to that in a moment). So be sure you include everything that financial freedom is for you in your definition.

2) Create structures that support you in creating financial freedom.

Do the math. What is it going to take to accomplish financial freedom as you define it? How much money do you want to make? In how little time? Can you accomplish your definition of financial freedom in your current career and/or line of work? What do you need to do that you're not doing? What do you need to stop doing that you are doing? One of the structures you might create could be to meditate, it could be to get a new job, or start a business. Take a look, what is it going to take? Don't worry just yet about doing what you need to do (that's the next step), but really look without judgement at what it is going to take.

3) Are you willing to do what it's going to take?

And if not, readjust your definition of financial freedom. I once had a client who wanted to be a millionaire, but he was not willing to generate income other than his current career position nor was he willing to get a new job or start a new career. He had no way to save extra money, although he was interested in investing. I told him that as far as I could see, there really was no opening for financial freedom for him. I suggested he take a look at what being a millionaire actually is and whether he does want it. I asked him to consider that he cannot be a millionaire without being powerfully related to reality. And then he fired me. If you're not willing to do what it's going to take, then you might not want financial freedom at all. You might want something else. You also might want to reconsider your definition of financial freedom to ensure that it fits all the desires you have in life. I'm not saying you have to do what I say to get financial freedom, but you might have to do something you don't want to do to get what you want.

4) Just do it.

Whatever it takes, just do it. Once financial freedom is defined for you by you, just do what it takes. There's nothing else to think about. If you think investing is your key to financial freedom, do it. If you think getting a new job is your key to financial freedom, do it. If you think writing a book or creating a movie is your key to financial freedom, do it. Starting a business, generating passive income, spending more time meditating, spending less time worried, whatever you know you need to do, just do it.

5) Staying in action.

Keep doing what you know you need to do. You will want to quit. Notice if you start thinking about quitting and stop. Not only do you need to stop yourself for actually quitting, but you need to stop yourself from thinking about quitting. Don't even think about it. Thinking about quitting will take you out of the game of Financial Freedom.

6) Acknowledging when you've accomplished your definition of Financial Freedom.

So you created your definition of financial freedom and then you got in action and stayed in action and now you're so busy you forgot what financial freedom is for you. Be sure to keep an eye on the goal and don't change it along the way. Keep your eye on fulfilling what financial freedom is for you. For me, I knew the day I moved into my dream home that I had accomplished financial freedom. I could have easily forgotten to stop and acknowledge myself for completing my dream of financial freedom. I might have just moved into the home and forgotten what started the dream in the first place and the HUGE accomplishment that moving in my dream home had on me. Celebrate. Acknowledge yourself. Acknowledge others who supported you. Allow yourself to actually accomplish Financial Freedom. Declare the success that you created.

7) Be ok when you realize you are going to create financial freedom all over again.

The first night I moved into my dream home. I acknowledged my success and celebrated. Alone. Then, all of a sudden, I could see that what I had originally defined financial freedom to be was complete and that I had it. It was great. And then I recreated what financial freedom was for me and it was: To live in my dream home with the man of my dreams in the place of my dreams and accomplish it all by doing what I love. I'm still working towards this definition of financial freedom. So far, I live in the place of my dreams, with the man of my dreams, I'm working on the new home and my private practice as a Life Coach to generate the revenue I defined as financial freedom for me. Just because you accomplish it once, don't think that you're done for good. In life, once we learn to create what we want powerfully, we want to do it again and again. So, when you want to recreate financial freedom again, accept it and start over (see step 1). Oh, the glorious game of life! Now, let's play!

How to Generate a Breakthrough

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:23:00 +0000

Photo by notsogoodphotography

I know it's been a while, but there were the holidays and then there was the flu that went through our family as well as most other families I know, and before I knew it, December and January were already over! Phew! Please accept my belated welcome to 2009 and what better way to welcome the year than to cause a breakthrough for yourself. There are many approaches to causing a breakthrough, but this month I will share one of my favorites.

So, typically people want to generate a breakthrough in a specific area of life. If you're not sure which area, pick the one that's bugging you the most. Pick the one thing that you wish you could change. It might be a relationship, a career, a home, or your health. Which ever one it is, first notice what is missing in that area. It might be money, time, space, people, happiness, vitality, etc. Next, talk about what's missing in that area as if it's a problem. This is probably how you go about dealing with it usually. So, I just want you to take a moment to go ahead and do what you usually do, i.e. complain about it, hem and haw about it, try to change it, work harder, try harder, make it better, etc.

Okay, how did that go? Did you get a breakthrough? Probably not. Complaining, thinking about, trying to change, figure out, or make something better never works to cause a breakthrough. It can, however, cause improvement. So that I know you are not mistaking improvement for a breakthrough, I'm going to tell you what a breakthrough is: a breakthrough is an opening for action, a shift from feeling disempowered to empowered. Dealing with what's missing is not how I'm going to teach you to have a breakthrough today.

Today, I'm going to teach you to deal with what's stopping you. So, what is stopping you from having your breakthrough? Take a moment to list what's stopping you. Now, notice are the things on that list actually stopping you or do you just think they are stopping you? It is always the latter. Thinking something is stopping you is the only way we stop ourselves. The ONLY WAY.

So, there they are, plain as day, the 'evil' thoughts that are stopping you. Those are the thoughts you want to stop having! If you stop having those thoughts, you will be unstoppable in that area because if you stop having those thoughts, you will create a space for new thoughts. And it is out of that space that the new openings for action, the shift in energy from disempowered takes place. Have fun and have a breakthrough or two!

With love, power, and magic,

Kristine

4 Reasons to Love Your Body

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 16:17:00 +0000

Photo by hersheydesai
Loving your body is essential to your health. Emotionally and mentally, you support your own energy and vitality either by loving yourself or not. In this article, I'd like to give 4 reasons to love your body that breakthrough the clutter and cliche reasons and honestly wake people up to the reality of life in a human body. Here goes:

Reason #1: Because it's YOUR body!

Come on now, let's get real. Your body is your body. You don't get a second chance, you don't get to trade it in for a new one (I know most of us wish we could and may have even already tried!), but reality is your only choice is to accept yourself and your entire body. People overlook the 'hateful energy' they have around their bodies. For example, every time you look in the mirror and think, "I hate my butt" or "I hate those wrinkles" or "I hate the way my hair looks" or "... the bags under my eyes" - people flippantly say "I hate" about areas of their bodies even though the word hate is rarely used elsewhere in life. How silly is it to 'hate' your body when you refrain from 'hating' in most of your life? Hating in any way, shape or form is deemed a mental illness by most psychological and social experts let alone most people. The ONLY word you want to be using to think about and/or talk about your body is love.

Reason #2: What you resist mentally persists physically.

Be careful what you say about your body because even though you don't think you can hurt your own feelings, you actually can! The negative energy you put into "not liking your body" gets stored in your body and only perpetuates and exacerbates what you don't like about your body. Focus on what you love about your body. Begin to love even the parts of your body that you hate. At least, you will surround yourself with positive energy, which might actually encourage you to take actions that empower you in making the changes you want to make with your physical body. Begin with the mental and emotional changes and allow them to promote physical changes. You can't have one without the other.

Reason #3: The human body is a miracle so stop complaining.

Think about it. Is your body beautiful or ugly? If you're not sure, actually think about it. What it takes for your body to maintain your lifestyle. Simple things like breathing, your heart beating, swallowing, or even closing/opening your eyes. No human could have ever invented such a beautiful array of ingenious complexity as the human body. Right down to your DNA being the source for your uniqueness. Think about it, this tiny little strand of protein is the source of you, all that you are and all that you do. That's amazing. And it's beautiful. The next time you think you're not beautiful, think again, no matter what you look like, the human body is a miracle and miracles are beautiful.

Reason #4: Because in the end you're body is just a body.

Just face it, in the end, you're going to die. And after you die, which is inevitable, your loved ones will either turn your body into ashes or bury it [most likely]. If they bury you, they'll cover you up with dirt and then go out for lunch afterward to celebrate your life and mourn your death. It will be a difficult and sad process for them at that time. But in the end, your body really is just your body and taking it too seriously isn't good for your health. Just like ignoring it isn't good for your health. Somewhere in between living every day like it's your last and living every day like you'll live to be 110 years old, find time to love your body since you actually won't need it for all that long in the grand scheme of things.

Do you wish you had more time in the day?

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:28:00 +0000

There is an old saying "I thinketh therefore I am" and I had a client ask me the other day what my take was on the saying. I will often say, "you are what you eat and you are what you think." In fact, you are literally "what you think" all the time and that's it. Your eating is a result of your thinking so is everything else in your life. Easy enough, right? Think positively and you're all set? Actually, no. Have you ever noticed how positive thinking doesn't carry the day, that it doesn't really work? That's because positive thinking, like most other quick fixes is a 'quick fix' and not a lasting, effective one.

Thinking positively is like smearing frosting on a mud pie. No matter how good the frosting is, the pie still tastes like mud. If you want to change the results you're getting in your life, you have to stop making mud pies, literally. I'm not talking about some 'control your thoughts' routine. I am saying you get EXACTLY what you think. EXACTLY, not sort of, not kind of, exactly what you think. So if you think you're controlling your thoughts, you will control your thoughts. If you think you will have a bad day, you will have a bad day. If you think you're dumb, you are dumb. If you think this article sucks, is confusing or too long or horribly written, so it will be. You see?

If you take on NOT complaining, justifying, or blaming, you will literally have a breakthrough in time. Too much of your time is spent thinking or speaking thoughts about what you don't want and these are the 3 most common forms. Literally, you will have so much time you won't know what to do with it. I'm serious. Complaining, blaming and justifying of any kind doesn't work to generate the results you want, ever. There is no purpose in any of it except to avoid responsibility. Avoiding responsibility gets you nowhere. Taking responsibility gets you where you want to go.

The thinking that is categorically complaining, blaming or justifying is very human so everyone does it. But it is designed to support you in 'getting through' your life, not 'enjoying' your life. While you are complaining, blaming and justifying, your life is passing you by. Don't get me wrong, it's a natural approach to complain, blame, and justify, BUT it's not an effective approach because you are what you think. If you think in complaints, you get more of what you're complaining about. If you think that something in your life is someone else's fault, you will get more things in your life resulting as that person's 'fault', and lastly, if you are justified in being a jerk, being annoyed, or being depressed, you are always going to be that way.

The most popular 'thing' to complain about, justify, and blame others for right now is 'the economy'. Imagine how much we could accomplish if we stopped complaining about it, justifying our lives because of it, or blaming other people and/or the government for it and simply did what we need to do about it and meanwhile, be happy and grateful. Whether you take this on or not is your own free will, but I promise you will get what you think, and what you say, either way.

With love, power, and magic,

Kristine

Thinking vs. Creating

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Mon, 25 May 2009 17:36:00 +0000

You may remember from earlier posts that thinking causes your experience of life. Although humans have no idea where thoughts really come from, they do move into physical form, we know that much. According to the Universal Law of Physics, specifically The Law of Perpetual Transmutation:

Energy moves into physical form. The images you hold in your mind, the conversations you have with yourself and the things you say to others generate the results in your life, not sometimes, not ‘here and there’, but literally ALL THE TIME.

I know I've touched on this quite a bit, but I'm always getting the question: "how do you manifest?" and I'll tell you this: you're always manifesting. We are all masters of manifestation because all we have to do is think and talk and we manifest. The question I ask you is: what are you manifesting? The conscious creation of your thoughts leads to the conscious creation of your life in physical form. If you don't like something in your life, consider that you created it with your thoughts. Thinking of any kind, whether conscious or daydreaming, leads to creation of your life in physical form. All of what you think is manifesting all the time. Now, if you think something once, it's probably not going to come into physical form. If you think something 10,000+ times, it probably will.

Given this, I'd like to take a moment today to distinguish thinking from creating for you. I define thinking as the mindless conversation that happens without choice. It simply happens as a function of being human. I define creating as the conversation you choose to have, whether it's with yourself or others. The element that differentiates thinking from creating is exercising your free will, your choice in the matter.

When you think, you:

1) Consider nothing beforehand or during your thinking and conversation.

2) Consider nothing about what you're manifesting with your thoughts and conversations.

3) Are sometimes aware of what you think and say and sometimes not.

4) Feel empowered or disempowered, depending on your thoughts and conversations.

When you create, you:

1) Consider what you want beforehand and during your thinking and conversations.

2) Consider what you're creating, i.e. manifesting, with your thoughts and conversations.

3) Are aware of what you think and say.

4) Feel empowered by your thoughts and conversations.

The more you choose what to think, the more you manifest your desires. Today, and every day, practice creating and stop thinking about what you want. Use statements such as "I am" or "I will" and refrain from using "I want" because all you'll get with that is more "wanting" in your life. I can't stress enough the physics: you get a Xerox copy of what you think. So, what are you thinking today?

With love, power, and magic,

Kristine

Leadership

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 17:31:00 +0000

What makes a leader a leader? A leader stands for something inspiring, attracts new people who stand for something inspiring and together they create a better world for us all. Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, and to be a leader, you must have a dream too. A dream that people don't suffer, a dream that people don't struggle, a dream that humans see themselves for who we really are, a dream that inspires you to be a leader. I literally had a dream that I was a world leader, leading other leaders to cause our planet to be at peace, with people loving each other and supporting one another. In my dream, I don't remember what we did as leaders, I only remember how I felt, how I was being. That was BEING a leader.

If you're trying to be a leader, you're not a leader. If you're doing what a leader does, your not a leader. What makes a leader is someone who's willing to give up the thoughts that take him or her out of being a leader. I have some experience myself with this as I am a leader and teach others to be leaders in my Life Coach Training Program (the next session starts next month if you're interested). I teach other leaders to be leaders, to give up whatever excuses they have for not being who they are for the world. I cause leaders to be the change they wish to see in the world. How many of you want to do something to make the world a better place, but you don't actually do anything, you just think about it? Well, I have something for you and it's the following teaching on leadership. It's really quite simple:

To be a leader, one must give up the following ways of thinking and being:

I am not good enough...
What was I thinking trying to be a world leader...
They don't like me...
I can't do this...
I don't know how...
I'm not sure...
Maybe I should be doing something else...
Who cares anyway...
I don't want to...
This is stupid...
I'm stupid...
It's a lost cause...
I'd rather watch tv, have a drink, [fill in the blank] (don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with tv or drinks but when it's your excuse to not be a leader, especially if you authentically are a leader, this can get a little 'sticky')
I hate this...
I'm not gonna...
You can't make me...
Why should I...

All of the above automatically come up when one steps forward on his or her path to being a leader. What it takes to be a leader is not to do much, but to be much. Be a huge opening for others to expand who they know themselves to be. Be you. Be as big as the universe, not as small as your body. Be the ONE. Step out and be that person. Don't change a thing, just be who you are and who you want to be.

Love, power, and magic,
Kristine

The Life Coach Training, Development and Certification Program I offer starts this February 2010. If you are a leader and looking to manifest leadership qualities and transition into a life of service as a world leader, please contact me for an application and complete syllabus.

Teaching on Spirit Guides, Spirit Helpers, and Spirit Communication

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 16:57:00 +0000

Aho!

In the practice of shamanism, 'aho' means 'amen'. The practice of shamanism is how I met my spirit guides and I can honestly say that you do not have to be a shaman to meet yours. You might be judging me right now, thinking 'she has spirit guides, how crazy' or 'what is she talking about 'spirit' guides... that's a little cuckoo' - I ask that you release those judgmental thoughts right now as you read on. If you're being non-judgemental, nevermind and please continue as you are...

A spirit guide is a spirit helper, one who is not of this physical world, but is a being, like us, who exists at another 'level' of consciousness. The opportunity to connect with your spirit helpers is always here. You do not have to do anything to connect with your spirit guides, however, you do need to practice balance and awareness. Both balance and awareness are the two keys to success in connecting with your spirit guides. Some people experience a spontaneous, obvious connection to their spirit guides, others experience less obvious forms of communication from their spirit helpers.

Everyone is in communication with spirit guides, whether you call them god, jesus, angels, saints, ancestors of yours, etc., you are in touch with spirit guides. If you communicate with relatives who've past on, you're in communication with spirits. Spirits are not evil. In fact, there is no such thing as an evil spirit. Anything negative or 'evil' is human-created. The funny thing about what humans do is that they do not realize how powerful they are and they think negative things and actually manifest negative beings. This is where one might experience what he or she thinks is evil. Evil spirits are not spirits, they are manifestations of evil or negativity created by humans. Humans are the only species who separates ourselves from Creator/God. We are not separate, we are one in connection, in communication with Creator/God at all times.

Do you notice that babies do not separate themselves from God? They laugh and smile and cry freely. They are one with Creator and so are you. Be aware of your connection with Spirit in whatever form you describe it, feel it, and experience it. The connection we have to the spirit world is becoming more and more important as we move forward into the future. Whether you are Christian, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic, or anything else, consider that you are part of a greater whole and you can communicate with that greater whole in any moment, and that communication supports you on your path. Not only that, but you are that greatness you connect to through Spirit. There's a saying in shamanism that goes like this: "you are inside the circle, you are outside the circle and you are the circle" - in the bible it says, God created man, and it also says when you die, you return to God, AND that God is all-knowing. When you die, you return to the all-knowing. Through balance and awareness, you can return to a glimpse of all-knowing, and this glimmer, this glimpse, will allow you to relax a little more, suffer a little less, struggle less if at all.

It is my commitment that people enjoy life and stop suffering and struggling through it. And that is why I'm sharing this teaching with you.

If you are interested in creating a spiritual practice that is aligned with your beliefs and empowers, enlivens and fulfills you, please take a look at my Spiritual Illumination program online and let me know if you'd like a complete syllabus.

Love, power, and magic,
Kristine

Mother Earth is giving birth!

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 16:24:00 +0000

We are having a new conversation with Mother Earth. She is giving birth. She is asking humanity to be her midwives, doctors and nurses. She is asking us to stand up, support and serve her as she goes through this new process of shifting and multiplying. To quote my coach from the other night, "Whether you like it or not, on every team, there are conspiracies." So rather than ignoring that as humans, we like to create conspiracies, let's create one that empowers us and others!" Here is a poem I found online that is perfect for us. I request you join me in my conspiracy to shift the planet, disappear suffering and cause everyone to remember who they are and re-discover your own greatness! With love... here goes:

On the surface of the world right now there is
war and violence and things seem dark.
But calmly and quietly, at the same time,
something else is happening underground
An inner revolution is taking place
and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.
It is a silent revolution.
From the inside out. From the ground up.
This is a Global operation.
A Spiritual Conspiracy.
There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.
You won't see us on the T.V.
You won't read about us in the newspaper
You won't hear about us on the radio
We don't seek any glory
We don't wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles
Most of us work anonymously
We are quietly working behind the scenes
in every country and culture of the world
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys,
in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands
You could pass by one of us on the street
and not even notice
We go undercover
We remain behind the scenes
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done
Occasionally we spot each other in the street
We give a quiet nod and continue on our way
During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront at night
is where the real work takes a place
Some call us the Conscious Army
We are slowly creating a new world
with the power of our minds and hearts
We follow, with passion and joy
Our orders come from the Central Spiritual Intelligence
We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking
Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~
Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites
Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness...
We each express ourselves in our own unique ways
with our own unique gifts and talents
Be the change you want to see in the world
That is the motto that fills our hearts
We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
We know that quietly and humbly we have the
power of all the oceans combined
Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it entire tectonic plates
shall be moved in the centuries to come
Love is the new religion of the 21st century
You don't have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it
It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings
Be the change you want to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you
We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have.
All are welcome
The door is open
~ author unknown

Life Coach and Spiritual Teacher Training starts this January. Life Guide Shamanism Training starts this February. If you feel called to either of these training programs as your next step in opening up to your greatness, please contact me to have an initial conversation about it. We'll explore whether it's a fit for you and find clarity in your path. We look forward to hearing from you.

Here's to your success in 2011!

noreply@blogger.com (Kristine Castro) — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 17:55:00 +0000

Here we are in a new year, a new revolution around the sun. It's exciting and new. The air is brisk, the world is spinning, we're all alive and still here. If you're still here, you still have work to do in this life. There's more to accomplish, more to experience, more to enjoy and more to be. Whether you're 99 and have a few years left or you're 22 and have 80+ years to go, the turn of the year is a great time for looking at what you're up to in life. The good news is that you cannot NOT succeed in 2011. In fact, there is no way to not succeed in life. Why? Because we only have one plan, plan A. There is no plan B for life. All of our lives are designed exactly as they are turning out. Do you want to know something else though? The path to success has many many failures along the way... did you know that Babe Ruth, who had the world record for home runs, for many years also held the world record for strike outs? And guess what? Mickey Mantle, who almost broke his record for home runs also broke his record for strike outs.

This is the path to success, it's risky, it's full of failures along the way, it takes patience and perseverance and nothing's ever easy when it comes to building a name for yourself in any industry and putting yourself out there. I don't know what you're doing, but I can say that as long as you are following your heart, that's what's important. Be sure you are swimming downstream at all times. When you are swimming upstream, you are not in the divine flow of your life and you are making it more difficult than it actually is. Do you love doing what you're doing? Then, keep doing it. If you feel tired, drained or lost or deadened doing something, make a career change now, don't wait.

Start by exploring the different pathways and opportunities you are drawn to for a career. Make a list of options, then explore a new career each day for as many days as it takes. For example, when I thought I wanted to be a hair stylist, I visited cosmetology schools and looked at costs and spoke with the admissions counselors. At the end of the day, I knew that I did not want to pursue that path. Sometimes our path requires us to change directions and actually pursue new careers. Other times our path requires us to look other places to realize we really love what we're already doing. I once had a client who was a therapist and she participated in my Creating Your Dream Job program because she wanted a career change. By the end of the program, she realized that she loves her job as a therapist and doesn't want to change anything.

Ultimately, she realized the joy she already had, she traveled down new roads only to discover the love, joy and fulfillment of the path she was already on; she discovered she already was successful. There is a fine line between success and peace. Some of us are already successful and we are actually looking for peace, not success.

For some of you, doing what you love doesn't make you any money. Well, then get a job that pays the bills and do what you love to have fun, not to make money. Either way, be sure you love your life. Ultimately, loving your life is your only job and loving life is your dream job. So, for this year, I welcome you to the dream that is your life, it's simple, hilarious and fun!

You never know where your path will take you, and the future is always unknown, so enjoy every moment and do what you love no matter what!

Love, power, and magic,
Kristine
