Reflections

Not sure about you, but I have no idea what day this is, all those public holidays rolled into each other it just feels like the weekend is playing back over and over. Not a bad thing mind you, it is just that I don't want to wake up and realise I have missed NYE!

So it is the end of our 2007 calendar, time to look forward to 2008, however first looking back to what a year it was...

To reflect on our achievements, our successes and our learnings. I refuse to see my learnings as failures, or disappointments, just learnings as I am still on my path, gaining the resources necessary for my goals and my inspirations.

We need to look forward to something/goal to have this our motivation for 2008 and beyond. Always striving for more balance, freedom, those values you gravitate towards.

So as we only have a few days left of 2007, lets still enjoy the NOW and focus on what makes us happy and do more of the things that compliment our values and our paths.

Cheers to your successes in 2007, WELL DONE, and keep focusing on what you want.

Girlfriends

Being with girlfriends is so beautiful, especially if you live in other countries and when you see each other after a few years absence, you just pick up where you left of.

Girlfriends understand, they are wonderful support and they can provide advice and guidance. Girlfriends also are naturally very nurturing and being in tune with you.

I was lucky enought to catch up with 2 lovely, strong women that I have known for a long time in a recent trip to France. They are both in their peak, have accomplished so much and in terms of support and love, they are up there alright. An inspiration to me in so many ways.

We need to be around people that understand us, so if you are still looking for understanding, contact a girlfriend.

Sharing, talking and understanding is what friendships are all about, being with people that are in alignment with you, they encourage and accept you, completely unconditional.

Celebrate with your friends,

Going Places

As 2007 is drawing to a close we tend to reflect on what happened to us during the year. Have we done what we set out to do early in the year? Or did we have unexpected surprises? Maybe you managed an overseas trip, it wasn't on the agenda however you needed to board that plane. That is what happened to us, 2 months notice to attend a wedding half way across the world.

We did it, and had a great time, caught up with so many wonderful friends that the trip turned into a big reunion in many ways, it was very unexpected.

Have you found yourself in a similar state than last year and wondering how you didn't find your:

• Next career



• Your purpose with your work



• New home



• Ideal weight



• Calmness and inner peace



• Your new partner



• Financial security



• Ideal fitness level



• Balance with work and play



• Ability to save for that big Europe Trip



• Etc

Well you will find yourself reflecting on what is still missing, and make a conscious decision TODAY to make those goals attainable in 2008, after all it is a new YEAR and believe you can have your cake and eat it too!

Furthermore what is more important is to notice WHAT 2007 has brought you:

• New friends



• More security



• New Baby



• Healthier attitude



• Fitness and vitality



• Growing business



• Love all around



• Balance



• Connection



• Freedom

Be grateful for what 2007 has brought you, and know that you manifested these wondering experiences into your reality, so just IMAGINE what 2008 is in STORE for YOU

I am certainly looking forward to that! as we are GOING PLACES!

Intruder

I was touched by a story I was told over the weekend. She had planned the ideal holiday, booking flights, accommodation and ensuring all went ok on their holiday together, she had not seen him for 10 months, so was eager to see him, sure things could have changed between them, however she had no reason to doubt his loyalty, so she thought.....

Usual story, distant relationship, the high expectations of taking a holiday together this coupled with summer, longing to visit the place she loved and felt safe, surely this was a recipe for fun and adventure.

It was not meant to be, instead he had met somebody else and didn't tell her before flying out, surely the holiday wouldn't continue, it did. He was now the intruder in her holiday, after all she decided to come to Australia first, her second home. Why did she have him 'stick around' and share the sights, exotic locations and friends with him?

I am still pondering that one, perhaps we long to feel part of someones' life even if it is not meant to be, hoping something would change.

Perhaps we cannot admit it that we can go on alone on the holiday as they were part of the picture for so long,

Or maybe you think you can shoulder on, to realise half way through that you feel, unwanted, unloved and not desired, confidence scattered and alone.

When you have such an intruder you need to FEEL STRONG and be empowered, feel that you deserve better and let them know this is not acceptable, and walk away. They choose to find someone else, so they really don't want you the same way you want them, so be BRAVE and carry on solo on your holiday, you do not need them as a constant reminder, they trampled on your heart, so protect yourself.

You are WORTH so MUCH MORE, believe this and you will attract the right type of people.

Focusing is not so easy

Struggling to write this blog tonight, as I am constantly distracted by my co-worker in the office, he is talking another language and I am really having a challenge to keeping my focus on my task. I don't speak this language and it makes me want to learn it, so I'm not in the dark.

Sometimes we want to focus yet get easily distracted, maybe we are tired or have tense muscles that prevent us from really relaxing and letting it flow.

Yes flow would be great right now, maybe I am trying too hard.

Focusing is an art form, you shut everything around you and have laser-beam concentration that not even an earthquake could scatter. Just think of someone about to tee-off in golf they are so in that precise moment, that the surrounding noises become irrelevant and you are with your body and breath.

Think about an Formula 1 car driver, he is so present listening to his car at every turn, every gear change that he speaks the same language. He is so focused on what he needs to do, considering all aspects, the weather, the track, what fuel strategy he is on, what he needs to accomplish and who he needs to watch. It is precision timing and again concentration and focus.

I am getting a headache just thinking about it! When I focus I need an intention a reason why I need to do it, and presto, it gets done. However days like today, I have moments of relapse and I can focus in small time segments instead.

That is ok, as I know what my bigger picture is and I can approach it 'one small bite at a time'

So if your page looks blurry like mine, it is time to take a break and start again later.

Don't Hold Back

Listening to the radio this am, this title caught my attention. "don't hold back"and thought what a great title for my next blog. (always looking for inspiration)

If you HOLD BACK, this may happen:

1. You begin to live a safe and complacent life



2. You may find yourself regretting things you didn't do



3. The person of your dreams just walked on by



4. You begin sentences with '' if only...." and "I could have been..."



5. You become an observer to life, and not an active participant



6. You take no risks



7. You smile less



8. You turn down invitations to meet new people



9. You loose self confidence



10. You eat more junk food



11. You get depressed and internalise way TOO MUCH



12. You don't get noticed



13. You feel like wallpaper in social situations



14. You turn to drink/chocolate/solitude



15. You wonder about how you can avoid certain situations



16. You start disliking yourself



17. You settle for second best, because it is better than being alone



18. You hesitate



19. You procrastinate too much



20. and you suffer in silence!

I can go on here, however I hope you get my message, if you are holding back, flip this around and JUST GO FOR IT, you have only EVERYTHING TO GAIN.. if you are struggling with this I invite you to come into our website and become a member and get your first complimentary coaching session, help and support is only

Your Map

We all follow a map, for some we decide to join someone's map because it looks like a nice road to take. For others, they see many forks on the road and are constantly getting stuck at traffic lights, so the road has more bumps and adventures. Whilst some of us can see the map we want to take but somehow end up on a completely different road that we don't necessarily want to take but we do not know how to exit the autobahn.

So how do we jump roads to get on our intended path? Find the U turn or roundabout that is how.

Deciding you are on the wrong road is a good thing, you are now aware that this road is taking you further from your destination. So decide today to stop the car, or at least ask the driver to slow down so you can make a jump for it (believe me sometimes the drivers do not want to stop at all!) So commit to your decision.

Rally your resources so you can now go down a new road, and if you find more bumps on the road, then celebrate as you are getting closer to your destination and you will be rewarded.

Never deviate from your road if THIS one is THE ONE, others will try to disorientate you and get you to come on their road, unless you want to that is :)

Your map is unique to you, have fun and enjoy the journey..oh and remember to stop along the way and smell the roses...

Old is New

As we were wondering in the old part of Munich, I pondered about how life was, long ago. Life seemed simple and uncomplicated then. Technology was in its' enfancy with just a few tools and not much else. How did we survive without the central heating, modern applicances and lets not forget, communication is now at a very different level from just hanging out in the main plaza. The mobile phone and internet have changed that!

Our lives also have new beginnings, at every stage in our lives we can grasp a new concept, business idea, become more empowered and also do the things that bring us joy. Individuality is embraced and creativity is celebrated, unlike being castrated for being eccentric, or just different.

We re-invent ourselves, to suit our new environment, our new start, and we change physically too, maybe it is just time that ages us, however I believe our attitude towards ageing is the key, we get better at knowing what we want, and we can laugh off those little things. The stress is less, and we are happier, well that is me anyways!

So the old is new, just look at the fashion these days, it just comes back into mode and then we wish we had kept those old vintage clothes...

Enjoy your point of difference and feel new in your day!
