Forgive yourself

marianne — Mon, 16 May 2011 12:10:18 +0000

In my book I talk about the gift of forgiveness. Yes, it truly is a gift. It is a gift you give yourself most of all. Forgiveness of self is one of the most important and difficult things we do in our lives, but I encourage you to remember that all the things you have done in your past were necessary for you to be the person you are today! You would not be YOU without the past. This does not mean we need to “rehash” our past and live there, but in fact I am suggesting that in order to “rid ourselves of the burdens of our past”, we must forgive ourselves and move into a space of freedom. You were the person you were then, so you could be the person you are NOW!! Celebrate him or her!!

When you are able to forgive yourself and welcome love back into your life, you achieve a wonderful state of balance! You are able to move from the space of guilt and grief, into a space of freedom, service and joy. It is only in this space that one achieves that inner peace that moves you to the next level of our journey in life .. in the direction of our “intended purpose”. Live in love, and live in joy and inner peace… forgive yourself!

Who are YOU listening to?

One of the ways that we can influence our conscious minds is through our senses. Today we take a look at the sense of “listening” . What you listen to directly affects your conscious minds, which will then influence your subconscious mind and ultimately the results that you are getting in your life. So what you listen to is critical!! So Let’s start, right now, to influence our conscious minds by choosing what and who we listen to so we can start to have the results WE want in our lives!! Go On Now.. live in Successs!!

Are you leveraging your senses?

marianne — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:52:51 +0000

Did you know that your senses are “attached” to your conscious mind? WHAT? Yea, that… When you listen to music, you automatically trigger an emotion. Most people tell me that they change the music in the car they listen to based on their mood. What about “directing” our mood by consciously choosing what we listen to. Do you listen to affirmations and personal development CD’s while you drive or do you just listen to whatever the DJ puts on the radio channel you listen to? YOU have control over your thoughts by leveraging your senses.. When you listen to positive material, you will AUTOMATICALLY put your mind in a positive state. It all happens in our subconscious minds. This will AUTOMATICALLY influence the results that show up in your life. If you listen to the negative news on the ride to work, you will be less productive. This is a proven fact!

So, for the action item I am going to propose: change what you listen to on your way to work. For the next 30 days, turn off the radio and pick up some personal development CD’s and listen to them. There are thousands of these out there. If you are looking for a suggestion, try the classic : Lead the Field by Nightingale Conant or even “The Strangest Secret”. You can get these on the Nightingale Conant website (http://www.nightingale.com/). Let me know how you make out… Go ahead and start leveraging your senses today!

Where is your past?

You know… I have been thinking lately about where we hold our past? Do you keep the past where it belongs–in the PAST–or do you bring it to your future? What I mean is are you bringing your past experiences, — successes and failures–into your future to “cloud” your possibilities? I would encourage you to learn from past experiences and leave it at that. For example, with children and their report cards: So often we “predict” their grades based on their past performances, rather than to encourage our children to “move on” to a “new” future. What is stopping a child who received a “C” or “D” in math from getting an “A” the next time? I propose it is their own thoughts (putting the past into their future) as well as our “interpretation” of their past and our expressions around that. (we put their past into their future too–thus we reinforce this backwards thinking!)

I am going to propose that each one of you think of one area in your life where you haven’t gotten the result you want –in your past– and then make a “new future” from “possibility”! HOW do we do this? Journal about it.. write: “I am so happy and grateful now that I ….. (fill in the blank with the “new and improved” result you want)..”. Make sure to write it in the present and read it every day. You can also put it on your vision board: a picture of you having already achieved this goal. Tell only people who will support you in this new goal and turn away from the “dream stealers”.. don’t listen to them!! This will “trick” the subconscious mind and you will find that soon you are achieving “new and improved” things in all areas of your life!!

So today, lets start to put your past where it belongs.. in the past and …..create a “new Future from possibility”!!

Vision Boards!!

Today I wanted to share with you a little about vision boards!!! Vision boards are a powerful way to directly influence our subconscious minds. We use our intellectual factor of imagination and we can dream anything we want!! So, listen to my podcast on vision boards and go ahead and have fun… dream BIG!!!

Journaling….. pathway to your intuition….

marianne — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 11:32:35 +0000

One of the big things my mentor, Jim Rohn taught me was to journal.. I have to say that my gratitude journals have been some of the most important books in my life the last couple of years!

Journaling helps one access their intuition. journaling helps one clear the mind and gain access to the inner thoughts. It is a great way to start and/or end your day….. Here is a little quote about journaling..

“Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable.”

Francis Bacon

I don’t know if any of you journal, but I would encourage you to try it. You will be surprised how clear your thoughts can be when you move through the superficial ones and access your intuitive sense.

I teach in my programs about decisions. “Successful people make decisions quickly and change them slowly if they change them at all” –Napoleon Hill….. You see, people are always running around asking everyone else what they should do… what do THEY have to do with YOUR choices? the answers you need for whatever you want are found deep inside your intuition, but we just need to have some quiet time to access them… journalling is one of the greatest ways I know. So, if you have a journal, pull it out and take some time with YOU and if you don’t, consider picking on up!! You will be surprised how wonderful this little habit can be!!
