Who Needs a Coach When I Have Friends?

AffirmingSpirit — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:05:30 +0000

Boy, this is a topic I have been meaning to write about for a while!

Whether you have voiced it or not, I am betting a number of you think talking to your friends is just as good as hiring a coach.

I know you think this way, because I used to think this way...that was, until I hired a coach to work with me back in 2003 when I was launching AffirmingSpirit.

It's NOT the same - at least, not when you hire a good coach!

Over the years, several of my clients have been truly surprised to find coaching much more helpful than just speaking to their friends. There's some good reasons for this.

Choice Versus Money: A Powerful Lesson

AffirmingSpirit — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 07:14:45 +0000

Earlier today, I was listening to Rikka Zimmerman's interview about the Access Consciousness process, that includes asking a series of questions and a clearing statement to clear limiting beliefs. Listen to the replay recording here until Wed, Dec. 1st. As I listened to this today, one of the most powerful things Rikka discusses is not putting "money before CHOICE". What does that mean? Putting money before choice is when... [This is an excerpt. Click the link to read the entire post...]

Our Stories Create Our Beliefs Which Drive Our Actions

AffirmingSpirit — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 09:09:10 +0000

You probably have noticed that I have written a lot about how our stories affect us. Last night, I was watching Oprah's LIfe Class (episode 3, with Cheryl Richardson) where she talks about how we don't get what we want, we get what we believe. Our beliefs are formed by the stories we tell ourselves based on what we have perceived through our lifetime.

Most of the stories we carry with us as adults were developed between birth and 6 years old. When experience meets emotions...

Turning My Thoughts Around

AffirmingSpirit — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 06:16:19 +0000

You've probably heard it before, and know from your own experience: It's easy to be calm and positively focused when all is going well. The REAL TEST is how you handle life in the face of major emotional upheavals. Abraham uses the term "contrast" for any experience that is different from what we would choose to experience...in that the experience contrasts from what we think we want. This past week, I had some major contrast that gave me an opportunity to learn and grow. Last Sunday night, I was in my home office working when I heard blood-curdling howling from my sweet kitty, Thelma. [This is an excerpt. Click the link to continue reading]

Releasing Your Victim Status

AffirmingSpirit — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 06:32:58 +0000

How often do you feel like a victim? How often do you feel like things happen TO you, instead of FOR you? Some of you reading this will probably say, never, and those people might want to look a little deeper. Recently, I became aware that I was raised to feel like a victim. In no way do I blame my family. I doubt they set out to *make* me feel that way, let alone to feel that way themselves, but it still is the truth: I was raised with a victim mentality. I know I was raise d to feel this way be cause my family's favorite pastime is complaining! Not only did the adults around me model how to complain, we were actively encouraged to look for things to complain about and rewarded with extra attention when we did. In family gatherings, not only could you get lots of attention for complaining, most times the rest of the group would join in and add their complaints to the mix! But it didn't stop there. Complaining wasn't even JUST the favorite pastime in my family, but in the culture around me, where it's still active everywhere in our media and news sources!

Relaxing Into Summer

AffirmingSpirit — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 11:45:33 +0000

This is my first post in 2 months. Not because I don't like to post, but because I decided to wait for inspiration and ended up relaxing into summer. How often do you let yourself reeeaaally relax? Even though I was relaxing, I was also actively doing what inspired me. I practiced deep breathing and Quantum Entrainment several times a day, whenever inspired. I got out in nature. I took walks and said my favorite affirmations. I read books...[This is an EXCERPT - click the link to read the full post and download the extras]

Letting Go of the Struggle with Affirmations

AffirmingSpirit — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 08:27:33 +0000

How is it possible that I have such great experiences with affirmations and so many others struggle with it? First, I know HOW to create powerful customized affirmations. Second, I do not struggle with affirmations ~ I know they work and I know they are very much worth the effort. I realized it was time to work with some folks who didn't believe in the power of affirmations, coach them, show them how to let go of the struggle, and have them talk about their experience. So, I turned to the great community at Good Vibe University ~ asking who was ready to let go of their struggle with affirmations. (Go to the full blog post to listen to the call!)

Connecting with Who You Really Are: The Power of Quantum Entrainment

AffirmingSpirit — Sat, 28 May 2011 22:24:18 +0000

By now, I hope you have noticed that anything I recommend to you I have first tried and experimented with myself. In this blog, I share not only what I have learned, but what has worked for me, with the intention that you will also try what resonates for you and experience positive outcomes. This past February, Trish Spadt told me about a process she was enjoying called Quantum Entrainment. With excitement, she talked about how it has changed how she perceives the world and positively shifted many things in her life. I had met Trish virtually last Fall when she had inquired about selling my meditation program on her website. So, I called Trish (it turned out it was also her birthday) and we had a joyful conversation about metaphysics, her journey understanding how we heal ourselves, and about Quantum Physics. So, when she brought up Quantum Entrainment in our next conversation in February, I decided to check it out!

Effective Solopreneur: Open for Possibilities

AffirmingSpirit — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 07:57:02 +0000

Yesterday, I was checking out the database for this blog, and single-handedly brought this blog down just minutes before leading a Quantum MasterMind call. Knowing that I didn't have time to fix the blog prior to the call, especially since I did not know exactly what I did to bring down the blog, I made a decision. I took a deep breath and said, "OK, I'll fix this after the call." Most people I know would have been freaking out and upset. I was relaxed, calm, and focusing my energy on my upcoming client group call. As I was walking to get some water prior to the call, I realized I had just created space for the possibility of an easy solution to a yet undefined problem.
