SUCCESS BREAKTHROUGH  
ISSUE #15 | July 2011
INSPIRATION, EMPOWERMENT, PASSION, PURPOSE & GRATITUDE!
WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?

Ask yourself, are you living your dream life?  Do you know what this would look like, feel like and be like?  Well, lets explore 'living your dream' and discover what you truly want to create in your life and if there is anything stopping or blocking you from living the life of your dreams!

Do you remember when you were younger and people would ask "What do you want to be when you grow up?"  I knew that I always wanted to help people in their lives. My passions are people, cultures, travel, coaching, writing, nature, music, dance and teaching.  So, in my journey I pursued the path of becoming a Life & Success Coach and I am still pursuing new knowledge and skills to add to my treasure chest and help others reach for the stars and awaken to their full potential!

Sometimes in life, one can feel like they cannot truly live their life fully because they do not have enough time, enough money, enough energy, just plain 'NOT ENOUGH!' These are blocks and can be tied into our subconscious mind and belief systems.    

Or we feel that we will direct all our focus and energies toward our dreams some day!  Well, guess what folks, if you go through the week, you will have Monday, Tuesday, etc... and there is no such day as some day!  The time for inspired action is now!  

Breakthrough Coaching™ is all about moving through any blocks, obstacles, negative habits, attitudes and patterns that are stopping you from creating the life you want. Over our lives we form core beliefs in a nano second; we can also transform these into empowering beliefs that will serve us today.  Transforming and building new neuro pathways and creating new patterns means living from your place of Full Potential.

One method to take inspired action now is to first break your state if you are in a stuck state or unlimited frame of mind.  To change your physiology you can simply go for a walk, exercise, take a bike ride or simply get up from where you were sitting and get busy with something. It sounds too easy, but simple actions such as these change your thoughts and focus and move you into a more resourceful frame of mind.  

I usually take a walk and enjoy the forest behind our home. I focus on the flowers, the birds and say hello to the people I meet on the path.  I come back more energized and ready to tackle what I thought was a problem - and I have already come up with a solution.  I have moved into the Possibility Frame!

Pay attention to the stories you are telling yourself and others each day.  In the Telling a New Story™ workshop, you will discover the power in the art of story-telling and learn how to transform your life by changing your story!  You are the author, director and full choreography of your story. Get ready for the next exciting chapter in your life!  Change your Story ~ Change your Life!

When telling your new story language is really important. Here's a short video from Star Wars, where young Luke Skywalker learns the power of language from Yoda. Enjoy and let me know if you will be deleting this word from your vocabulary and story!

THE ART OF BEING FULLY PRESENT

How do we move from overwhelm or frustration into the realm of more happiness, joy and love?  Find ways to be in the present and gift yourself with love, quiet moments and remember to smile!

Examples are:

  • I have added 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle to our 'Cultivating Passion' list of inspirational books, ' Oprah invited Eckhart on her show this year to share the power of stillness and being in the present.  Hence, the Power of Now and how to align ourselves to our true brilliance and our true nature of abundance, joy, happiness, peace and love.
  • My husband and I have started to meditate for 15 minutes daily with the guided meditations CD from 'Getting into the Vortex', the teachings of Abraham by Esther and Jerry Hicks.  This simple act allows you to quiet the mind and move into the state of mindfulness and be-come conscious of what you are creating in your life. This space is your 'inner game' where you move into the field of all unlimited potential, as Deepak Chopra talks about in his book 'Creating Affluence: Wealth Consciousness in the Field of all possibilities." 
  • My Mum gifted me with 'The Art of Letting Go' by Kim Meisner which introducing the principles of Buddhism.  How to develop a daily meditation practice and focus on your breathing and mindfulness exercises.  The intention is to release yourself from the daily ego chatter and preoccupations that can cloud your mind.  Learn how to find peace in the here and now.  Kim includes a 'Buddha Board' where you can enjoy drawing images that inspire you in water, on the board.  You can enjoy the images you create and then they will disappear, allowing you to let go and again learn how to be fully present.
CREATING POSITIVE CHANGE FOR PEOPLE

Get ready to chart a new course for your greatness!

We are thrilled to announce that we are integrating Strategic Intervention into our already over-flowing transformation tool chest!  Anthony Robbins, Cloe Madanes and Mark Peyser created the Robbins-Madanes Coach Training program.

Strategic Intervention (also known as SI) is a powerful combination of a variety of disciplines: Ericksonian therapy, strategic family therapy, Human Needs Psychology, organizational psychology, neurolinguistics, psychology of influence, strategic studies, traditions of diplomacy and negotiation and others.  The intention is to create a method for taking action in a strategic way to fulfill and elevate human needs.

A trained Strategic Interventionist can navigate different areas so their clients to take more action. Clients learn to understand the 6 Human Needs and how this knowledge can help them breakthrough to their success in any area of their lives.  

A Strategic Intervention Mega Strategy is composed of 'master moves' designed to help individuals, couples and families  overcome any circumstance and live a meaningful life of empowerment and contribution.

An example of a mega strategy is the Elevation Strategy and this can be accomplished by taking a person to a higher level of positive intent, simply through a conversation. Through SI the coach helps the client focus on their strengths or talk about a goal in an inspiring way.  This is an essential skill of an interventionist and can be used in any situation to create real change.

They empower others in all areas of life - spiritually, physically, emotionally - and focus on the wellness of the whole being.

THE ART OF GRATITUDE

Your attitude and gratitude in life are truly powerful.  Brian Tracy, Best Selling Author and Professional Speaker stated "Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation."  By taking a few minutes each day to write down or express gratitude for what you are thankful for, you will feel more vibrant, energized and be more present.   It is our attitude that forms how we look at life and how we experience all the wonderful moments in our lives.  

A word of gratitude to Mike Reining who is the creator of the Gratitude Log at www.GratitudeLog.com.  This is a community of people who share their personal stories of what they have gratitude for with others. They inspire each other and remind each other that we all have so many wonderful experiences in our lives, if we woudl only shift our attention and look at these.

His friend Tony Robbins stated, "When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears."  Expressing and focusing on your daily gratitude moves you into an energy that makes you feel more alive and thankful.  

So, take inspired action and join this group or start a daily journal at home, expressing thanks for everything beautiful in your life.  Namaste, Moira.
