Your Comfort Zone Can Stop You From Living a Full Life

Moving Forward.

Staying in our comfort zone is much easier than stepping into the unknown. However, it’s also much more dangerous because often we don’t live a life that we want or one that’s big enough for us. Step outside of the old comfort zone and create a new, bigger, brighter zone that you become comfortable with.

Sometimes you might hit a barrier of fear or doubt. So, how do you get past this!

Imagine that you are running a race, maybe a marathon. The other runners are surging ahead and you feel yourself falling back. You start to think that it’s much easier just to coast or even to give up. This is the time when you need to pull forth all the inner power and energy that you’ve been storing up. You take a deep breathe, you surge forward and you find yourself getting closer and closer to the front of the group. You win! You’ve done it! Success is yours.

Sometimes it might seem challenging to keep up. If you keep moving forward, if you persevere and hold onto the dream you break through the barrier. The success you want is yours.

These few steps will help you to move ahead.

1. Start by clearly defining your goal and how you want it to look. (this is any area of life.) It might be professionally, health, weight, relationships. Whatever it is, it’s important to define how you want it to look. What would your dream ideally look like if anything were possible?

2. Although it might feel real, remember that fear is just a feeling manifested by a thought. You have the power to choose how you want to feel and how you want your life to be.

3. Focus on taking one action each day toward your dream and keep moving forward.

Have a great week. I’m rooting for all of you.

I’m the me I choose to be!!

The reason I used the title, "I’m the me I choose to be" is because over the years, first with patients in private practice and since 1998 with coaching clients, I have discovered that many people don’t realize that they are who they have made a choice to be.

We live with the law of attraction every day and the kind of energy we put out into the world is what we receive back. That applies to who we are too, not only what we attract.

For many years I played the role of victim, all through my 20’s and 30’s and finally in my 40’s, things changed. There were situations and events that brought me face to face with my own weaknesses and made it necessary for me over the course of a number of years, to make many changes.

Of course, I could have chosen not to make the changes, I could have chosen to stay the 'me' I was then. However, my life no longer worked that way and that was the one thing I could see, even when I didn’t want to. I knew I now had to take responsibility for my own life and create it the way I wanted to live.

We are all victims of circumstances! However, we don’t have to play the role. Whatever is going on in your life, your business, your job, ask yourself if this is how you want to live. Your thoughts create your feelings, feelings create behavior, behaviors become actions. What are your behaviors, feelings and actions like? Are you being true to yourself? Is there thinking that you can change so you can take charge of your life?

Choose to be the person you truly want to be and live the life you truly want to live.

Have a wonderful week.

What the Law of Attraction is Really About

There’s been such a lot of controversy about the movie “The Secret” and how it’s giving people misleading information, I wanted to make sure that all of my readers understood what The Law of Attraction is really about.

There are many laws within the Law of Attraction. I’d like to share a few of the natural laws of the universe from Bob Proctors version of "Science of Getting Rich."

The Law of perpetual transmutation - The images you create in your mind can be manifested in your life.

The Law of Vibration - Everything vibrates (energy). Your thoughts control your vibration.

The Law of Cause and Effect - Action -- re-action are equal and opposite.
Take responsibility for creating your life the way you want it. Don’t just be at the effect of whatever life throws at you.

The Law of Gestation - Every seed has a gestation period. Your goals will manifest when the time is right through the action you take. Know that they will.

Yes, it’s about attracting into our lives wonderful things and living lives of wealth, joy, freedom and happiness. It is however, not going to happen just by saying the words or thinking it will.

Your mind is your master, you have the power to control it anyway you want. If you think negatively, that’s mostly what you will feel and attract. If you take action, think positively and believe in yourself, you become one with the universe and have the power to attract what you want into your life.

Today I am 66. Some people would say, “Oh my God, I’m getting old,” to me that means another exciting phase of my life is beginning. Someone said, “live, laugh and love.” I truly believe that’s what life is about. Grab life by the horns, take action and discover your own brilliance. I’d love for you to have what you truly want in life too.

If you want to get regular notices about when I post, please sign up to receive them.

Never stop moving forward and never give up.

Last week I spoke about having to take action. There are two major things that have to happen in order to attract what we want in life. Have an attitude of Gratitude. Without being grateful for everything we already have in life, it becomes challenging to keep attracting what we want. The second one is Perseverance. Never stop moving forward and never give up.

I have been through major changes in my life at all ages. I started a completely new life when I moved to this country from the UK in my late 30’s. The next huge transition came when I decided to get divorced at the age of 43 after 25 years of marriage. Between 43 – 50 I went back to school, started a business, was diagnosed with a major lifelong autoimmune disorder and lost all my money. I had to start over.

I didn’t give up. I used all the negative experiences to learn from and I kept improving my mindset. In my mid 50-s through training I became a certified life coach and an NLP practitioner and started the business I’m in today. My mind set kept improving and I kept moving forward,

As I said last week, I will be conducting a FREE teleconference on Monday April 30th about the Law of Attraction. If you are interested in hearing more about this please go to www.theastonishingpowerofyou.com sign up for the Free Ecourse, The Astonishing Power of You and you will be added to our database. When the details go out for the teleconference you will be notified along with the rest of the subscribers.

I thank god for every negative experience I’ve ever had, they have been the greatest learning experiences and have allowed me to become who I am today. I never gave up. I persevered. Even when you think you can’t do it for even one more day, you can. Take baby steps, no one can jump from the bottom of the ladder to the top in one go.

Lots of people give up just about when they’re ready to have a breakthrough and they’re on the brink of success. Don’t let that happen to you. I am going to be 66 next week, I now have a wonderful, happy joyful life, am really passionate about what I do and what I teach and my life keeps expanding. You too can have whatever you want in life, it’s about discovering your own brilliance.

"The Secret"

Hope everyone has been having a good week. I’ve been hearing lots of controversy about the movie and book on "The Secret." It seems that people think all they have to do is to think about what they want and it will happen. That is not how the Law of Attraction works. Nothing happens by osmosis. It isn’t hard, however it does take a little work.

Yes, it’s important to change your thinking in order to change your life. However, whether you want a better relationship, more free time, great wealth, a better job, or happiness in life, you have to take action.

When you think positively, put a plan of action into motion and keep moving forward you will attract all the good things you want in life.

I will be conducting a FREE teleconference on Monday April 30th about the Law of Attraction.

Know Exactly What You Want in Life

Most of us now know about ‘The Secret’ movie and what the Law of Attraction means. However, when I was speaking to a group this past week, one of the things that came up was that although they understood what it meant, they weren’t entirely sure how to make the changes so that they could attract exactly what they wanted in life.

As I said last week, the first thing that has to happen is to know exactly what you want in life and how you want your life to look. Then you need to set intentions and very specific goals.

One of the most important things that you need to become aware of are the words that you are using. How we speak is what we think!

If you have created your vision, set your intentions, created great goals and of course are taking action and things are still not happening, your subconscious and conscious mind is probably not in alignment.

To positively attract what you want in life, both areas of your mind need to be working together. There are a number of ways to do this, especially if it’s wealth and success in business that you want to create.

We are very excited at Mind Mastery that our new website www.theastonishingpowerofyou.com is now active and that our new product for financial empowerment will be released May 1st. Check the website for details.

In the meantime, think before you speak to make sure that the words you use are positive so that the energy you put out into the universe allows you to become like a magnet to attract what you want.

We’d love to hear from you and to know how your life is becoming if you are using the law of attraction.

What seeds will you plant this year?

The official date for the first day of spring is March 21st, however now that the clocks have sprung forward, (for those of you that might not remember which way the clocks change, spring forward, fall, backward) here in Southern California spring seems to have definitely begun. The sun is shining, the days are clear and it’s very warm.

New beginnings are not reserved just for the beginning of each year, spring is a very good time to begin something new. New thinking, new goals, new successes.

I always think that life is much like a garden. You decide what you want to grow, you plant the seeds, then tend to it carefully and you get a beautiful, joyful garden full of color and light.

If you haven’t yet decided what you want to attract this year, now is a good time to start.
The first thing to decide is what you really want in life. How do you want your life to look? I mean that quite literally. Most people only ‘think’ they know what they want and how they want their lives to look, however when digging a little deeper with clients, there’s a much bigger picture than, “I want to be happy,” “I want success,” “I want peace,” “I want more money.”

If there was nothing standing in your way, what kind of a picture would you create. Create a vision, then set goals, think positively and watch all the wonderful things you happen that you attract into your life.

For more information on vision building and goal setting check out www.theastonishingpowerofyou.com.

Your birthright is to have all the success, happiness, wealth and joy you want in life. Create a life of absolute brilliance.

Be Careful what you are Attracting

I’d like to share something with you that will show how use “The Law of Attraction"
Can bring negatives into our lives.

I pulled out of a parking lot on a wide street and because it said no left turn, I went down to
the next opening where there was a store and I did a U turn. I didn’t go right onto the drive I just turned by the opening. As I was pulling out I noticed that across the road there was a motor cycle cop who had apparently just stopped someone for speeding. In my mind, I said, “well even though he’s finished, he’s still writing and it doesn’t say I can’t make a U turn so there’s no reason for him to stop me."

I’m sure you know what happened. He stepped out into the road, stopped me and gave me a ticket. I actually had no idea that you couldn’t make a U turn in what he said was a business district and there were no signs posted to say I couldn’t. However, the universe obviously wanted to teach me something and because I thought about him stopping me, it actually happened. So, for thinking it wouldn’t happen and focusing on it, I attracted it to me.

Be very careful what you are thinking. What we think expands and that’s what we attract.

Have a great week.
With Love and Gratitude

The Law of Attraction

Hi Everybody,

Well, we’ve now certainly heard about ‘The Secret.” For those of you that might
possibly have not heard about it you can go to www.thesecret.tv and there you will
find all the information you would like. However, to bring it down to basics it’s
about the principles of The Law of Attraction and how what we focus on is what we
attract.

This week I’m going to share with you an excerpt from “The voice of Knowledge”
by Don Miguel Ruiz which will bring it into focus another way.

“Before I was born in this physical body, a whole society of storytellers was already
here. The story was ongoing and from their story I learned how to create my own.
The storytellers who are here before us teach us how to be human.

First they tell us what we are – a boy or a girl – then they tell us who we are, and who
we should or shouldn’t be. They teach us how to be a proper woman, a decent woman,
A strong man, a brave man.

They give us a name, an identity and they tell us the the role that we are playing in
their story. They prepare us to live in a human jungle, to compete with one another,
to control one another, to impose our will, to fight against our own kind.

Of course I believed what the storytellers told me. Why would I not believe them?
they filled me with knowledge and I used that knowledge to copy their style and
create my art in a similar way.”

If you’re not where you want to be in business or in life look at the stories you might
be carrying in your head. What are you telling yourself about you? Are you saying
“I can’t” instead of “I can,” or “I’m not good enough” instead of “I’m great” or
“I don’t deserve to have what I want.” Instead of “I deserve to have all the wealth,
Joy and abundance that I want, it is my birthright.

Everything in life is about the way we think. Change your thinking and you will
Absolutely change your life. Any questions, don’t hesitate to post a comment.

The Secret is Out, Are you Using it?

Happy Valentines week. Whether you have a partner in life or not, you don’t have to be alone on Valentines day. Buy yourself some flowers, enjoy a nice meal with family or friends, have fun. Love you and who you are. You are always going to be the greatest romance you will ever have. Romance and celebrate yourself.

It’s been on Ellen, it’s been on Oprah and on Larry King, are you making it work for you too.

The Secret is the Law of Attraction. As you know, I’ve talked about this before and I intend to talk much more about it. My passion in life is teaching others how to achieve their goals and dreams. I know what it’s like to work hard and not achieve what you want. When I learned how to use The Secret, my whole life changed. If you are not where you want to be in life, change it. You have the power and it’s your choice.

As much as some people won’t like hearing this, we really do create everything that happens to us in life through the energy we put out into the universe with our own thinking. When we change the way we think, we change our lives.

Energy flows where attention goes. Think big. Be outrageous. Decide what you really want in life, think positively and watch the magic happen.

Any questions or thoughts you might have, we’d love to hear from you, please post your comments.

Have a wonderful, bright and joyful week.

‘Til next time.

SUCCESS AND IT’S DIFFERENT FACES

My apologies for not posting last week. I’m in the midst of recording and producing a new product and coaching program and it’s been a little hectic. I hope that you will watch for details of this fabulous new product that will empower you to create a six figure income in 2 years or less and huge success in all areas of life.

I was watching a little of the Golden Globe awards tonight and happened to catch the upcoming new star America Ferrera as she won for best actress in Ugly Betty. In her speech she talked about how you don’t have to be thin and beautiful on the outside to create what you want in life. So right on, I actually clapped. If you haven’t seen the show, check it out, it’s really great, clever, edgy, funny and heartwarming.

It isn’t important what race, color, religion, size, education or background you have, you deserve to have all the wealth, happiness, abundance and joy in life that you want. This is your birthright. Don’t let the messages in your head, the mind chatter that can get in the way, at the wrong times, steal your dreams. Create your own dream. By who you want to be.

If you change negative thinking to positive thinking and take the necessary action, you can attract in to your life whatever you want. Money, happiness, abundance, great relationships. I know, I’ve been there. Go for it, you deserve it.

If you’d like to hear more about how to do this and about the Law of Attraction post a reply.

‘Til next time.

Set your Goals!

I am on vacation, so will make this brief. I just want to wish everyone a Happy and Successful 2007. There are many great things being created at Mind Mastery in the New Year. Watch for FR^E teleclasses, new program and products to help you to create great wealth and abundance. See you next week.

Hazel
PS. Don't forget to set your goals.

Happy New Year

I hope you had a wonderful amazing holiday with lots of turkey, stuffing and everything that goes with it and that you had fun.

We have about 5 days to go until this year ends and we go into 2007. If you do want the coming year to be different, if you want to make any changes at all and if you haven’t already, now is the time to set your intentions and goals. Don’t wait until January 1st. Arrive at the 1st, knowing exactly what it is you want to create and achieve in 2007. Remember to write goals in the now so that the unconscious picks them up as if they have already happened. Set small goals for each week and month and then set one bigger one for June and one for December 2007.

One of my goals for next year is to take a European vacation to Paris and Rome. Another one is to keep learning and getting one step closer to achieving all the things on my vision board. I’d love to hear what your goals are for next year.

That’s it for now folks. ‘til next year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy Holiday

Here I am again. I won’t make this long since I’m sure you are all very busy right now. Hopefully, having used some of the holiday time management tips, you are not stressed out and are getting things done with lots of time to spare.

Have an absolutely wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah or whatever other holiday you celebrate. Remember it’s not about being perfect, it’s about being grateful for what you do have and for having fun with family and friends.

‘til next year.

Living Fearlessly

I hope everyone is having a wonderful December. I was watching 3 of my grandchildren this weekend, all boys under six and one of the things that really struck me was that they were absolutely fearless. Even the 2 year olds. They didn’t stop to think about jumping from heights or climbing ropes on their climbing frame. They were just having fun. If there was an occasional knock or fall, even if there were tears, it was over in a few minutes. Aren’t they lucky!

We didn’t come into this world being doubtful or afraid we learned it. I made a decision a number of years ago that fear was not going to stop me from doing anything I chose to do. We are human, which means we will from time to time feel fear and doubt. It’s not about whether we ever have the feeling, it’s about how long we allow it to stay there and how we allow it to impact us. We all have choices about everything in life. If you’re allowing fear and doubt to hold you back, make a decision, a commitment to yourself that 2007 is going to be your year. That you are not going to be held back by any old message that might still be programmed in your unconscious. You can change the way you think and watch the new thinking change your life.

Happy Holidays. ‘til next time.

Hazel

The Power of the Law of Attraction

I find that as we come to the end of a year, this is a good time for a little reviewing and reflection. Although everyone is busy getting ready for the holidays and celebrating with friends and family, this is also a very good time to look back over the year and see if the year was the way you wanted it to be. Did you achieve the goals you set for yourself, decrease stress, make more money or whatever you had planned to do. . If you did, that’s great, if you didn’t perhaps you might want to look at why you didn’t attract what you wanted.

There has been a lot written about the Law of Attraction in the last few years, especially this year since the movie The Secret came out. This week Ellen Degeneres had a couple of people on her show, who were featured in the movie, talking about the way our lives are created. Everything that happens to us, good & bad, believe it or not, is from choice. Most of the times they are unconscious choices that manifest in a negative way. If you haven’t heard about the secret, give yourself a treat and check it out at www.thesecret.tv I think you will find that it’s really worth taking the time.

Being a business coach working with 40+ women entrepreneurs and service professionals, and helping them to achieve their success goals, whether it’s a six figure plus income, more free time, less stress, better time management or whatever they are struggling with, everything I teach/coach and speak about is based on the Law of Attraction. We really do create our lives and attract into it all the things we don’t want as well as the things we do want.

I am teaching a FREE teleclass on Monday, December, 18th At 7p.m. Eastern, 4p.m. Pacific time called New Year, New Year – How to Use the Law of Attraction to bring into your life all the success you would like.

Time Management for the Holidays

I thought I’d share a couple of photo’s with you from my trip. The first photo is of me with my sister on the walkway beside the River Thames and the famous Big Ben in the background. In the other photo, you can see Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament and just about see the Tower of London on the left, where Henry VIII was beheaded. London is a city where history abounds.

I had a wonderful week and now I’m buckling down to get gifts bought, business caught up, teleclasses booked, client calls etc. In fact there’s lots to do in the coming weeks as I’m sure there is for all of you.

The secret to this time of the year, or any time, in order not to get stressed, is to decide in advance that you are going to stay calm, focused and organized. It’s all about how you choose to think and how you plan so that when the holidays arrive you are not still running around the day before still buying gifts, groceries or whatever and completely stressed.


There’s 26 days until Christmas Eve or for those of you who celebrate Hanukah there are 17 days. If there are other holidays around this time of the year that I haven’t mentioned, I apologize for my lack of facts. However, the same thing applies to everyone, you have a certain amount of time left. If you haven’t already made a plan, take a few minutes and do it today. Here are a few suggestions:

• First, write out everything that you need to do before the holidays that don’t include working. Keeping it in your head doesn’t work. Writing is more productive.
• Prioritize. By doing this you will know what needs to get done now and what really can wait until a week before.
• Write out a gift list. Think about what you want to buy each person so that you have some idea when you get to the stores. Schedule in your planner exactly when you intend to get this done. Make it an appointment with yourself.
• If you are making the holiday meal, write your grocery list and buy and pre-cook as much as you can in advance.

One of the most important things to remember is that it doesn’t have to be perfect. The holidays are about having fun and being with friends and family.

Happy Thanksgiving

Just a very short entry this week. Especially this month, look around and see all the wonderful things that you do have to be thankful for. Don’t focus on what you don’t have or what you wish you had, focus on what you do have and what you are willing to create for yourself so that 2007 is your best year ever.

Happy Thanksgiving. Have a wonderful day.

Holidays

With Thanksgiving and christmas almost here, I'm sure everybody is getting ready for the holidays. Right now I'm in the UK visiting with my family here for a week so this post will only be short. In the upcoming posts, I will give some tips on how how to use time very effectively to make the upcoming holiday season less stressful so that you have time for fun and family.

'til then, have a great week

Live Without Regrets

Life can be very short when we least expect it! Although terrorist attacks are not the norm in most civilized countries, they can, as we have seen, happen. In fact there are a multitude of things that can unexpectedly and relatively quick end life.

Hopefully we will stay healthy and live to a ripe old age. To make space for this to happen, there are some circumstances that we might want to consider in order to live life on this earth without regret.

Anger, bitterness, impatience, frustration, lack of confidence and fear are all negative emotions and can have a physical impact. I encourage you to find ways to deal with them. Read personal development books, use a coach, work with a therapist, talk to someone who has objectivity, do some writing. There is no right or wront way. However you find yourself able to let go of negative emotions and however long it takes, I urge you to do so in order to live your life to the fullest. You deserve a life of joy, happiness, fun and laughter.
