Make a Decision and Be Done With It

3 Ways to Decide and Be Done With It

Have you ever had to make a big decision and found yourself going back and forth unable to make a choice?

You and I both know that the longer you are in a “holding pattern” circling around with all the pros and cons, the what ifs, and the fear you are actually trading precious moments of success, happiness and contentment.
Ok, so you agree but you are frozen, stuck and can’t seem to figure it out.  I thought you might say that, so let’s get down to basics and “decide and be done with it”. Here are three sure-fire methods to assist you.

1.)    Decide to decide- I highly recommend that you invest in a stop watch, an alarm clock, or an egg timer. Set the timer for 20 minutes close your eyes and allow your deep sense of knowing what you want to happen. You already have the answer inside of you and you just need to  give yourself permission to feel the answer. When the ringer buzzes your time is up and you make your final decision.

2.)  Get out a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle. Write in big bold letters at the very top – My Decision – Yes or No. Start listing the pros on the right side and the cons on the left side. When you are finished, circle the one that feels right.

3.)    Act quickly. Pick up the phone, send the email, or hit the “take action now” button on your computer but do it right now. Don’t wait until after you walk the dog, go to the supermarket or cook dinner because the key is to cross the item off your list and go on.

The Connection Formula

So little time and so much to do…how do you stay connected in an increasingly busy world? Not only will you feel happier but when an opportunity pops up on one of your associate’s desk they will think about YOU first.

If you want to stand out the crowd (and I know you do) then you have to stand out. Most people wait until they need something before calling someone. You can think of several people right now that only call you when they want something.  How does that make you feel? Are they the ones you are going to call when you have a chance to recommend someone for a great job, a new client, or a TV interview? Nope, not a chance!

Just yesterday I got a call from someone asking for recommendations for a cool podcast project being filmed in Miami and I immediately thought of the person I had lunch with the day before…coincidence? This wonderful colleague had taken time out of their very busy schedule to help me with something I was working on. By the way, I wasn’t consciously aware that is why I thought of this person because the entire filtering process was going on in my subconscious mind. (I had a “aha” moment while writing this post).

So how can you build stronger relationships, trust and connect deeper. By investing your time in “face time” and connecting for no other reason than to say hello and see how you can help the other person.

Here is my personal 3-5-7 Connection Formula:

1.)  Connect with 3 people a week over a meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner…coffee counts too). Inquire and ask about the other person and allow them to do most of the talking while you do most of the listening.

2.) Connect with 5 people directly on the phone.  Offer ways to be of assistance and take one action step that can help each one in their business.

3.) Connect with 7 people via skype, video chat or snail mail (they will remember you took the time to write them).  Send a congratulations note to someone who just got a new job,  relocated or  whose child just got into college.

Oh, and one last note, when you follow-up periodically by doing something incredible, amazing, and really special for someone on your list…then guess what happens?

Allow Your Potential to Emerge

Are you “looking” for your passion, searching for your purpose or seeking direction for your life? Do you wonder what you are suppose to be doing that will lead you to a fulfilled existence? What if the answer comes to you when you fully accept the unknowingness and allow the answer to unfold without any expectation of what it looks like?

Whatever it is that you are seeking is seeking you too but not in the same way (actually in reverse).  Many times “your calling” shows up as an obstacle, challenge, or setback and  is so obvious that it is completely invisible to you. Subtle signs appear everywhere but you are looking for gigantic billboards with flashing lights.

Here is the news flash “your life purpose is going to emerge  from inside of you when allow it to” plain and simple. If you have spent the last 30 years doing what you thought you were suppose to but still feel unsatisfied then how can you expect to find yourself in a few short weeks, months, or even years.

It might appear that others have achieved overnight success only because you don’t see the unfolding, the bumps in the road, and the emerging of it happening until it happens. So give yourself permission to lean into the mystery of your life.

In the meantime…inhale in every breath and exhale out all expectations and allow your potential to emerge,

Wishing you Success and Prosperity,

Wendi

The Power of Patience

Have you noticed what a fast paced world we live in? Of course you have and it is only going to get faster.  Let’s face it these days everyone wants their desires met instantly  and if that doesn’t happen then they get frustrated, disappointed or depressed.

So is there a way to develop patience in an impatient world?  There sure is and once you have decided to become patient and allow things to happen rather then force them  you  will not only feel free but will accomplish more than you ever imagined.

Many times it is for your greatest and highest good that something doesn’t happen but you won’t know why for many years to come. While you are living in the midst of your current situation you have to tap into your faith and trust that all things will work out.

What about all the people who suddenly get that big break, aren’t they just lucky? Often something appears like it happened suddenly and that lady luck was on their side  but the story underneath the story reveals something completely different.

Have you ever read the book “Outliers“?  Malcolm Gladwell talks about 10,000 hours as the magical number of practice hours it takes to make someone an overnight success (ie…The Beatles). You only hear about people after they have made it so it appears that they did it quickly but if you dig deeper you uncover the real story of persistence, passion, and patience.

Even if you could win the lottery or become famous overnight studies confirm that when you don’t have enough time to integrate and process what has taken place then more often than not it can not be sustained. Evidence of athletes, celebrities  and lottery winners ending up penny- less after hitting it big are everywhere. To avoid  the emotional rollercoaster why not slow down and just be patient?

Here are 3 ways to develop patience:

1.) Every morning right after you get out of bed repeat the affirmation “Today I choose to be calm, patient, and balanced.” Today, I choose to be grounded and centered”. “Today I choose to be grateful for the things that I already have in my life and embrace them knowing that all things come in due time”.

2.) Spend 5 minutes (yeap, only five minutes will make a significant difference in your life) using the following “breathing mantra meditation- Inhale, I breathe in and celebrate this moment. Exhale, I breathe out anything that does not serve me. Inhale, I breathe in peace and tranquility. Exhale, I breathe out expectations and attachment to outcomes. Inhale, I breathe in love, light and expansion. Exhale, I breathe out worry, anxiety, and fear. Inhale, I breathe in hope, faith, and possibility. Exhale, I breathe out impurities and old beliefs. Inhale, I am. Exhale, all need to control.

3.) Close your eyes and see the thing that you desire as if it is yours and then release it and let it go knowing with complete certainty that if it is not delivered to you exactly as you planned that a greater more desirable plan is in store for you.

Patience is something that can be developed over time if you put in the time to cultivate it. It is well worth the investment of your time because the bonuses you get come in the form of health, wealth and happiness.

Smiles and Success,

Wendi

Model It and Be The Change

You have control over one person and one person only- YOU. As much as you might desire for another the bottom line is that you can’t control, change, or do the work for someone else…it is up to them to do it.

Whew…what a relief. It is challenging enough being accountable for your own actions why on earth would you want to divert your energy away from what you can control and spend it where you can’t?

I am not saying that you shouldn’t  love, support, and encourage others to be the very best version of themselves but the work required to make it happen depends on the effort they put into it not yours.The most powerful way to influence another is the “be the change” and model the behavior, attitudes, and outcomes you desire for them. When you are standing in the highest integrity, demonstrating compassion, and giving your very best then those around you will benefit from the spill over effect from your character.

Think about the people you admire most and the traits, characteristics, and behaviors that leave an impression on you.  You have the ability  to be one of those people and influence those around you by silently demonstrating the things you desire for them.  For years I would read Ghandi’s famous quote “Be The Change You Want to See In The World ” until one day it really sunk into my subconscious mind and I decided to finally BE THE CHANGE.

Wishing you Smiles and Success,

It Boils Down To Feelings

You may think you want possessions, a relationship, or a particular job but what you really want is the feeling that is associated with each one of those things.

So if you want to feel calm, happy, and fulfilled then start  by writing down each category of your life and then the goals you desire in each section (relationships, health, career, etc).   Now take it one step farther and write down the feeling attached to each one because it all boils down to feelings.

So if in the past…
-You were in an unsatisfying relationship- (feeling lonely), heading into your future what you want is a satisfying relationship- (want to feel loved)
-You lost money in real estate or other financial investments- (feeling fearful), going forward you want to make better financial decisions (want to feel secure)
-You were unhappy at work or in your profession ( feeling unsatisfied), heading into your future you want to find a more suitable job or start a new profession (want to feel fulfilled).

You need to know where you want to go and examine it closely so you can design and create a plan to get you there. Anyone who puts this off is going to live a life of regrets later- PLAN your future right now!

The most important thing about goals is having one…-Geoffrey Abert

The Art of Receiving

Being able to receive is much trickier than it sounds. Most of us have never actually been taught “how” to receive and therefore end up doing things that end up sabataging our relationships, careers, and health.

The Art of Receiving starts with being to give first to yourself… gifts of love, hope and strength and then being open to receive them.

Here are 3 reasons why you end up swirling around in a vicious cycle of  negativity and remain stuck instead of moving forward

1.) You haven’t ever really thought about what it is you really truly want.

2.) You believe that someone will suddenly appear in your lives, figure out what you need and then give it to you.

3.) Deep down inside you don’t really believe you are worthy of abundant health, wealth, and happiness.

To create new outcomes requires changing the patterns and beliefs that have been holding you back from your greatness and living your best life.

Do you have the power inside of you to manifest a magnificent life?

Yes and here is how you know this is true. If one person can alter, change, or reverse their circumstance then it is possible for anyone and everyone to do it.  I know this to be true because I have lived it and have made it my life’s work to share the techniques and formulas that I used in my own life.

Here are 3 powerful tools that you can start using immediately to shift and transform your life.

1.) Write down a personal mission statement about what you want to accomplish in your life and frame it. Put it next to your bed and read it every night before going to sleep.

2.) Close your eyes and see your life exactly the way you want it to be. See perfect health…see yourself smiling and laughing…see financial security the way you want it to show up in your life…see your ideal partner treating you with respect. Feel it. Appreciate it. Give thanks for it as if it has already happened.

3.) Declare, affirm and say outloud each and everyday…”I am open to receive the divine gifts from the Universe”.

Wishing you a Much Success Always,

Are some people programmed for success while others are wired for failure? Some people seem to have all the luck but could it be that they just think differently? The short answer is that we all have this enormous power deep inside our being but some of us are able to control our emotions more effectively than others and therefore attract, magnetize, and create better outcomes.

So what tangible tools and proven techniques can you use to become a Success Magnet?

It all starts deep inside your subconscious mind. You may think you are calling all of the shots, but the reality is that you don’t realize how your thoughts are actually bouncing around from one negative thought to another. One of my clients who recently attended one of my workshops  said a week later “I am shocked to realize how many negative thoughts I have during one day”. This is actually not our fault at all. Our subconscious mind works like a computer harddrive and remembers everything it has every seen or heard over your entire lifetime and over 70% of it has been negative. It actually could be higher and closer to 80% if  you watch the news or read the newspapers daily.

It has now been documented that you can actually change your brain. Science and spirituality are merging and the research can no longer be ignored. You have the power inside of you to reprogram your subconscious mind. You can seek an expert to help in the process (hypnosis is helpful) or have a go at it by yourself but it absolutely can be done!

Here are 5 techniques to get you started.  Remember that as you plant seeds (thoughts) into your subconscious mind you will be creating new neurotransmitters that will eventually change your brain over time if you stick with it.

1.) Meditation- The longer and more frequent the better with a minimum of 20-30 minutes per session recommended.  If you are new to meditation you may want to start with a guided CD  that includes music to access higher brain wave states (theta, alpha, delta or gamma).

2.) Affirmations- Stating positive statements such as “I am powerful”  ”I am love”  and “I am attracting success, wealth, and happiness into my life” only works if you are able to actually feel the words that you are declaring. So in order to conjure up the feeling you have to be in congruency and believe with every cell in your body that what you speak is true. To really tap into the power of affirmations start with where you are, which could be “I wish” or “I choose” can be used until you can tap into and actually feel “I am.”

3.) Visualization- Project yourself into your future and see your deepest heart’s desire as if it has already happened.  Spend time experiencing and feeling all the emotions as if it is happening in present time. Feel love, contentment, appreciation, and joy deeply and allow those feelings to penetrate in every cell and throughout your entire body.

4.) Prayer- Ask for divine guidance  and the ability to let go of limiting thoughts and beliefs. Ask to be guided and aligned with your higher self and the ability to open up to receive this guidance. Spend time each day connecting with who you really are…your truth and authentic self waiting to emerge as a happier, healthier version of yourself.

5.) LIsten to a tape recording of your voice while you fall asleep. Purchase a tape recorder and make a recording of your voice stating your deepest heart’s desires, your dreams, and your goals. Listen to right before going to sleep and again first thing in the morning. Allow your subconscious mind to connect with soul’s desires and when it does expect miracles to happen because they will.

Are you crystal clear about your goals? If you don’t know where you are – exactly where you are right now…and where  you want to go then you won’t ever get there.

What you focus on (((expands))). When you align with your deepest heart’s desire than you begin to see what it looks like before you actually achieve it.

Connect with your mission and why you do what you do and focus on that. All of us are here to contribute, make a difference and live fulfilled lives. Surround yourself with words (power quotes) , pictures (vision board), and people (coaches, partners) that keep you focused on your vision.  Spend your time wisely and take baby steps everyday that move you  closer to your desire.

Here are 5 ways you can tap into the Power of Focus

1.) Meditation/Reflection time- Start your day emptying out the clutter and quieting your mind.

2.) Breathe Exercises- Simply connecting with your breathe and doing 3 sets of deep rythymic breathing.

3.) Listen to sounds and music that stimulate higher frequency brainwave patterns. (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Gamma)

4.) Set intentions for the emotions you want to feel during the day (I choose to feel love…peace…contentment)

5.) Spend 10 minutes writing and journaling. (any topic will work)

We all have the ability to focus and create our own destiny.

Love, Light and Success,

Wendi
