Go for it! Really! This is the perfect time….

What? You’re afraid?

You’re afraid of making the wrong choice and regretting it later?

Hmmm, You are NOT alone.

In my Resilience. Happiness. Success Virtual Mastery one of the things we’re covering is how to make No-Fear, No-Fail Decisions so that you can immediately see exactly what you need to do, and have the courage to actually do it.

No more wasting time, diddling around to avoiding making a decision,

or ‘planning’ yourself to paralysis!

To get you started before we begin the mastery, reclaim your power by:

• Take responsibility for yourself. Do not cast blame on the external circumstances or other people. This is your life…it’s up to you to change it. This is called taking a ‘No Excuse Approach to Life’ and I require all of my clients to have it before I even consider working with them. (It’s also why they’re so successful. You can be too, if you let go of blaming others.)
• But don’t blame yourself. Taking responsibility does not mean you ingest all the blame! That just makes you feel worse and your power dissipates.  You are doing the best you can, with what you’ve got, in this situation. When you know better, you do better. Now you know better.
• Notice when and where you let your inner victim take over. What clues tell you that you’re placing blame on someone else, or not taking responsibility.

This is just to get your started. There are AT LEAST 4 other ways you can make powerful decisions…and we haven’t even begun to talk about the No-Fail way to make choices! Imagine being SO SECURE in your ability to navigate change that it doesn’t matter what you do, you’ll succeed? It’s an amazing feeling! You can find out HOW to do that HERE.

It’s interesting that this should appear in my life right now (the LoA working wonders!) as I was just having a conversation yesterday about the lack of integrity out there, which led me to share a video I made last year about internet “Trolls.”

This video by Deborah King (author of Truth Heals) is another great take on the toxic person, and the types of psychic attack that may show up because of them.

What do you think? Do you agree with this? Disagree? Think it’s a load of cr@p? Experienced it before? Share your thoughts.

Want to see the video that sparked some conversation on Facebook? “Don’t Feed The Trolls” from January 2010. Watch it here. I also write an entire section about Energy Vampires in my book The Now of Happiness. Learn more or purchase a copy here.

January 2011 call

It’s a new year, a new decade and we just had a new moon…NOW is the perfect time to sit down and map out how you want your year to go, and how you want yourself to grow!

If you’re like me, you crave having some kind of plan, for everything! You’re probably a tad bit of a perfectionist and you don’t like surprises (you can’t plan surprises).

If that sounds like you, my next Authentic Self Nourishment call will be perfect for you! It’s all about fully understand YOU, how you react to things, how you make decisions, and what you want so that you can design a plan that works for you.

I also have a very special Bonus Expert joining us in a few weeks to teach you how to further understand how you relate to the world, and how it’s affecting your results (see below).

The next Authentic Self Nourishment call (formerly known as “the Premium Membership”) is set for Jan. 24th at 7pm CST. (8pm EST/5pm PST).

Here are some of the things that I’m talking about

(I’m so excited about this call!!!!–note the extra “!”)

1. The 4 types of Action Patterns (which one are you?) This will help you to determine how to plan for success, not failure.
2. How to play to your strengths to have you ultimate year!
3. The 4 Stages of ANY major catalystic shift, and exactly how to take any life circumstance (cancer, job loss, cheating spouse, lottery win) and use it to propel you forward, not sink back into depression!

What’s coming up…

I’m also speaking with Jennifer Sheldon, a well known astrologist and founder of FemCentral, (http://jenniferlshelton.com/) to teach you how to create and read your birth chart.

She did mine a few months ago and I know understand myself and my reactions to things way better. It has helped me to be easier on myself, and not be so hard or judgmental of my own actions.

As a special bonus, I am picking a random name from the Authentic Self Nourishment members and they will get a personal chart reading from her, as she uses it as an example for everyone else.

I know you want to be part of this  and these calls are ONLY for Members!

I completely forgot to blog this week, I’ve been wrapped up in getting my book into production and getting my Happiness Movement site up and running!

As 2010 reaches the beginning of the end (can you believe it?) I am thinking about my Top 10′s! This week I decided to share with you my Top 10 Books of the year.

I will likely do lists for  Top 10 Books of the Decade, Top 10 Quotes of 2010, and Top 10 Favorite People too, so look for those through this month.

In no particular order, here are the best books that I’ve read in 2010…

1. Trust Your Vibes: Secret tools for six-sensory living, Sonia Choquette
   FANTASTIC resource for discovering your authentic self and your intuition. This book made me comfortable with reaching out to my own spirit guides and trusting in a higher source of guidance.
2. Be Happy: Release the power of happiness within you, Robert Holden
   I’m currently reading it and finding it slow going because I have to keep stopping to write out quotes and passages! It’s a very “common” sense approach to a topic that many have written about (including myself).
3. Excuses Begone: How to change life-long, self-defeating habits, Dr. Wayne Dyer
   If you find yourself stuck and aren’t sure what to do, Get This Book! This book will force you to get real and get back into your life. Take a No Excuses Approach to 2011…it’s your life!
4. The Joy Diet: Ten practices for a happier life, Martha Beck
   Always necessary in any personal development library, Martha Beck is no-nonsense, sarcastic and funny! I love her. This is NOT a diet book in the traditional sense. It’s 10 steps to living a happier life. (I love the step that involves “treats.”)
5. Steering by Starlight: Finding your right life, not matter what, Martha Beck
   Oh, Martha, how I love you! This is another amazing book. She gives you the courage (and a plan) to leave behind all the Junk that isn’t working and start living a happier, healthier life.
   
6. Supercoach: Ten secrets to transform anyone’s life, Michael Neill
   Another “10 Step” book, this one also written in down-to-earth language. Michael has an NLP background and has a way of explaining things that makes you go, “Huh. Why didn’t I think of that?” I love his section on making decisions!
7. Creating Money: Attracting abundance, Sanaya Roman
   I read this in the spring and wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did. It’s a Law of Attraction book, specifically about wealth and prosperity. It’s full of exercises and positive affirmations. You’ll love this book if you life Louise Hay.
8. Blink: The power of thinking without thinking, Malcolm Gladwell
   Another author I cannot get enough of! (Please write more books Mr. Gladwell!) He takes concepts that seem almost mystical and with real life examples, he breaks them down so the normal person can relate. I love how he wrote a book about intuition, using science and real life to explain it.
9. You Can Heal Your Life, Louise Hay
   I just finished this book and I LOVED IT, even though I resisted reading it for a long time. It’s full of positive affirmations and ways to get over the humps that life throws your way. I highly recommend you buy the DVD/Book set (it’s only a dollar or two more expensive than the books itself and I felt so peaceful and joyous after watching it!) The book also includes her affirmations for physical ailments. I was amazed at how many of my own health “problems” came down to an inner belief about myself. Most of them were right on with what I thought to be true, deep down (but not any more )
10. Outliers: The story of success, Malcolm Gladwell
    This book was about those who are incredibly successful (he features Bill Gates) and why some succeeded and others didn’t. Again, it’s a fascinating mix of science, real life and the seemingly mystical. It will help you understand what it takes to be successful.

Honourable Mentions to Effortless Success an audio program by Michael Neill and Ask Y our Guides: Connecting to your divine support system by Sonia Choquette.

It was really hard to choose just 10 (or 12), but these are the books that I didn’t abandon half way through AND I constantly found myself quoting them on Facebook, raving about them to my friends and/or using them for reference in my Premium Membership and coaching calls. As you can see, when I like an author I tend to really like them (and obsess, crush on, fall in love with…which makes me their new best friend because I buy ALL their stuff!)

Check them out as you usher in an even more successful 2011!

Even better, check out my book The Now of Happiness: Your Happiness Formula on January 11, 2011! Get on the red-carpet list so you’re the first to receive a copy.

I can so relate to this talk!

I used to feel exactly the same way about being vulnerable, but she’s right. You need to be vulnerable to success, in order to be successful. That’s why it is so hard for people to take that first step.

>Take 20 minutes and watch this. It’s worth it.

I don’t know where the month of October went! Crazy how time is flying by.

I need to remind you that the next Premium Membership call will be sent out on October 25. It was supposed to be live, but I’ve over-scheduled myself, and to be honest the recording quality is just sooo much better when I record using my sound software rather than with the bridgeline.

Another reminder:

This is the last month for my Readers to become a charter member for only $10 a month. The price DOUBLES to $20 a month on November 1, 2010 for any new members.

There are 2 reasons for this:

1. I like to reward those who take action
2. AND because over the next few months the Authentic Self Premium Membership is going to be made over. Details will roll out slowly, but with this price change, the value will also increase. I’m giving those interested in joining us for the ride a chance to do it a half price if you join today for $10 a month!

I’m so proud of my friend, Andrea Costantine, that I just have to blog about this!

It is rare to come across a book or piece of work that is so very raw, real, and inspiring.  That is why I have decided to participate in sharing this work with you today.

Today is the launch of her book, Speaking Your Truth: Courageous Stories from Inspiring Women” – a powerful anthology of which I am an advocate for.

Speaking Your Truth has 49 stories for women by women. These stories are heart-wrenching and inspiring. The stories are based on love and healing, family matters, spirituality and much more.

Here are some things people have said about this book:

“Speaking Your Truth sizzles with brave energy. These amazing stories are a powerful testimony to the strength of human spirit, and a source of hope to all.”  Sharon Lippincott

“Read one of these stories and you’ll keep turning the pages for more.”  Susan K. Elliott

“The courageous stories of these women proves that there can be triumph over tragedy. What an inspiration to read their remarkable stories of resiliency in overcoming difficulty.” Danielle Waagmeester

“Speaking Your Truth is like a bowl of grandma’s soup on a cold day.”  Sara Ortiz

Find out more now and order your copy today of the Speaking Your Truth anthology. Get your copy (and perhaps a copy for a friend, your mother, or a colleague) here.

If you choose to support her, and get courage to speak your own truth, awesome! Thank You and Congrats ahead of time!

What does success mean to you?

I know that most people have a canned response. “Success means having lots of money, wearing expensive clothes, travelling around the world and driving a fancy car.” Notice that all of those things are external? They are all things that you “get” outside of yourself, and most of those things don’t make you happy for long.

Crazy idea…If your house were to burn down, what would you take? You’d take the photo’s, the babybooks, family pet…you wouldn’t head to the closet to get your favorite pair of shoes or that designer dress.

WHAT IF you defined success from the inside out?

So start this process with a quick exercise. What does success really mean to you? What do you want to do with your life? Write it down, not editing or worrying about others might think. Then look at the difference between what you say you want, and what you currently have. Create a “backward” map. That is, start where you want to be and map out a backward trail until you end up where you are now. Since you are where you are now, start there and take the next logical step to living a successful life.

A friend of mine shared these videos a couple of months ago and I resonated so strongly with them that I knew I had to share with you. Of course I forgot about them until recently when I realized that they were a perfect fit for my upcoming Happiness & Self  Premium Membership call (these videos also go very nicely with several topics in my “Letting Go” Premium Series, starting in August.) I invite you to join us as we discuss self esteem, self love and self discovery on July 19! Learn more at http://kimberlyenglot.com/being-the-perfect-sized-you/

Talk about getting it…You are the perfect sized YOU!!!

If you are unhappy regarding your own physical appearance, take the time to watch these videos! Take to heart what Katie has to say. (Part 2 is my favorite–“You’re not too fat to be you…and in a perfect Universe, someone has to be you!” Love it!!!– but make sure you watch Part 1 first or it won’t make as much sense)

Byron Katie: I’m too fat. Parts 1 & 2

I know that weight and dress size is a contention for a lot of women, and that we’re not supposed to focus on the numbers. But that scale (and the dressing room mirror) doesn’t lie…or does it?

Keep in mind that you have a pre-conceived notion about what you look like. You look in the mirror and probably don’t see the same thing that other people see when they look at you. 

Because of that very thing, you need to lose the weight in your HEAD before it comes off your body. I know because I gained a lot of weight after I got married (25 lbs on my relatively small frame), and lost 35lbs 6 months later…and even though I was smaller, it wasn’t enough. Being in the 130′s should have been perfect. It was my goal…but I was still of “fatty mindset” because it wasn’t good enough. That “fatty mindset” took me back up 10 lbs, still in a normal healthy range and the weight I’m currently at, I am more comfortable here because this is where I remain and I am happy with it.

Which takes us back to my main point, you can by “skinny” according to someone else’s standards and “fat” according to your own. It’s all about perspective and perspective is something you have COMPLETE control over. Weight goes up and down normally (to a certain extent–I believe approximately 5 lbs) but your thoughts on what you look like don’t change as easily. Ask anyone who has dramatically changed their appearance or lost  a lot of weight (more than 50 lbs), the mindset is harder to get over than the weight.

I am sharing some tools to help you in my next Premium Membership call on July 19, 2010.

You can join us and find out:

• The #1 thing you can do right now to change how you feel about your body, even if you think you need to lose weight
• How to ACT THIN when you feel frumpy and ugly
• 7 Easy Steps to IMMEDIATELY activate your confidence (great for those situations when you need to fake-it-to-make-it)
• Abraham’s take on health and weight loss (gotta get some Law of Attraction perspective in there )
• And of course, much more.
  

This call is the 4th and final part in my Happiness Series and is available ONLY to Premium Members (luckily, it’s really affordable and you get access to the rest of the series to help you find harmony in Health, Career and Wealth too, for the price of ONE MONTH’s Membership!)

I’ve taken a lot of the content from my Perfect-Sized You action guide: Eat, Shrink and Be Happy. You can get the total scoop on “authentic weight loss”  at http://eatshrinkandbehappy.com
