You will be ready to take on the world after reading this Special Report! In under an hour, you can…

• Determine if you are living someone elses’ version of success…and correct it, if you are.
• Go from 0-60! Take note if you’re an “ideas” person who never actually does anything.

Authenticity open up opportunities, unless you hold YOURSELF back!

All of the top experts are talking about the importance of being yourself in business and life, as a way to attract clients, customers, and prosperity. In this Special Report, I’ve explained everything you need to know (and do) to get that authentic self working for you!

You don’t have to hide anymore. You don’t have to let your underyling, self-limiting beliefs hold you down.

You Will Learn:

• The Top 7 ways that women hold themselves back from success (including how much money they make).

• Why every reason you have right now for not being as successful as you wish, is a big fat excuse. And what to do about it to kick success into high gear starting today.

• Lessons from a “Pick-Up Artist” and how rejection is actually worth its weight in gold when it comes to designing your business (and life!)

• Why most people who interpret The Secret as “wish and wait” will spend their lives wishing and waiting…and how the Law of Attraction really works.(In “normal” language!)

• The productivity secret Ali Brown, Tony Robbins and Bob Proctor have in common that make them rich and successful...and how you can apply this practice to your own life to achieve the same results! (This is potentially the most important difference between them and you, and simple to fix!)

• When and why hunger is very good for you, and a huge indicator of your true success potential. (If you don’t have it, you’re not going to make it.)

• How to turn someone who doesn’t believe in you into a major motivator (and how to turn a  breakdown into a break-through!)

This is a quick special report to teach you to identify your limiting beliefs and move beyond them. If you don’t recognize them, they will forever hold you back. You can stay stuck, stay unhappy with the amount of money you’re bringing in, stay unhappy with your boss…or you can do something about it. You receive all of the essential information so that you can put your new mindset to work for you immediately.

I was late jumping on  whole Rhonda Byrne “The Secret” bandwagon, by a good 2 years! But once I finally gave in, I jumped right on, and pushed everyone else out of the way, eager to take the reigns! I did everything I could think of to get more information, buying books, borrowing books, borrowing DVDs, audios and hiring a coach. I was/am determined to figure it out and I think I’ve found the secret to “The Secret!” — it was in a place I did not expect to find it!

I can’t cover it all here, but I hope you will join me for my LIVE call-in radio show on Friday (August 20 at 11am ET/ 8am PT) where I explain the entire thing. (Find all details HERE). I will do my best to give you the Cliff Notes version.

Since discovering the Law of Attraction, my brain “knew” what it had to do…but sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t. I kept thinking, “Something has to be missing.” Which, of course, added tonnes of resistance and mucked up everything that much more!
A couple of months ago I listened to “Ask Your Guides” by Sonia Choquette (I also own the paperback, but I do so much running around that the audio version is priceless to me!) And I started to do what she recommended…something I haven’t done if a very long time: I began to pray!
You can be hung up on that word all you want, but it’s just a way to say that I connected with a higher source. You can call it meditating, casting spells, or whatever you want…but it works if you do it. I “pray” all day every day. And it is the secret to trusting that when you ask, it IS given!

I know that feels a bit vague, but try it out. And if you want more detailed info, tune into my show where I explain it much more, including some of the mini prayers I use to get rid of my traffic headaches (I rarely fight traffic), the guides/angels I call on to keep me safe when I’m scared, and how I find bargains! It’s a magical topic and a fun show!

I hope you ‘ll join me live.

The Next Premium Membership call is on Monday, August 23, and it’s all about how to let go of what other’s think.

Let It GO! How to let go of what others’ think…and start living your life, your way

Obviously, to keep the world running smoothly, and to not throw us all into complete anarchy, we have to care what other’s think to some extent. But I’m not talking about manners, social norms, or cultural rules. That stuff is fantastic, as a common courtesy for your fellow human beings.

I am talking more about the deep down, dark, scary “stuff” that you need to show in order to fully be you. You know, the light that you want to shine, but feel it’s silly, new agey, off-the-wall, and will send your close family and friends running for the hills shrieking “Witch!”

All kidding aside, you know exactly what I mean. It is important to understand that by shading that light, you are hiding a part of the real you, and you will always feel like something is missing. On the Premium Call, I’m going to teach you the exact process for letting that go.

Whether it’s the Law of Attraction, believing in angels, thinking you’re psychic, or letting people know that you believe there is a God, (which can be hard if you’re the intellectual, analytical, academic kind) you don’t have to fear what other people will say if you let that side show.

Fear is a human construct, with 2 exceptions: we are born with the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. EVERYTHING else is something we have absorbed from others or created for ourselves. And it isn’t the fear of the actual “thing” that scares us…it’s the thought behind the thing.

You’re not afraid of telling people you believe in angels and that they guide your life and keep you safe, you’re afraid of the thoughts you have created thinking you know their anticipated responses. Sounds confusing, but it isn’t really.

For example, I am terrified of snakes. To the point where even seeing them on TV makes me squirm. Sometimes I close my eyes and tell my husband to let me know when the scene is over because they just give me the heebie-jeepies. Ick. I can’t even stand thinking about them now, as I write this!

BUT, it isn’t the actual snake that I’m afraid of. If that were the case, seeing the snake on TV would not elicit any response from me. My rational brain would tell me that there is no actual snake in front of me, and that I am safe. Therefore, I’d have no fear of snakes, except when they were in front of me…which is…never!

However, my brain has a “story” about snakes that it tells itself: They’re creepy, they’re slither, they appear in unexpected places, they surprise the heck out of you when you’re walking through the grass, they will pop up and bite you.

Again, the only snakes in my part of the world are small and completely harmless unless you’re a bug of some kind. They’re good for the environment, and I haven’t come across one in years! Yet, I still have a “thing” about them.

You have the same “thing” about being you. You have a story you are telling yourself about what others think, and what it will do to you. The problem with this, is that you know that you need to be you. In order to fulfill your hopes, dreams and goals — to be happier, healthier and wealthier, you KNOW that you need to release this fear.

I can live with my fear of snakes because I rarely see them and they do not affect my ability to be happy in life. I could not live and be happy while being afraid of what people thought if they see me as new-agey and woo-woo by my fairly conservative neighbors, family members and friends...and so I let that fear go! It still pops up, (hey, I’m not perfect!) but I have found a way around it, a way that I wish to share with you.

I can live my life, my way…and be happy! And so can you.

So in this members-only, Premium Call,

I am sharing:

• 3 ways to identify if someone is holding you back in life (and what to do).  I have a feeling you know this already, deep down, but I’m going to dig it up for you and remind you of it!
  
• A 5-Step Strategy for letting go of what others think, without cutting out everyone in your life! (no sense being YOU, all alone!)
• The 2 teeny-tiny little words that will COMPLETELY empower you to change how you view everything! It’s absolutely the most freeing phrase in the English language!

And I’ve got way more information and cool techniques for you!

Catch you on Monday!

I had an outstanding day yesterday. One of the many things that made me so happy:
I bought a new printer a few days ago, and had to take it back. When I took it back to exchange it for one that didn’t jam up every time I tried to print, I actually was given money back. Yep, the printer had since gone on sale and I exchanged it for a new one, plus they gave me money in return! I felt so much better after 2 days of a stupid printer that didn’t work. NOTICE, that is all about my perspective on that outcome? (I could have been angry, yelled at the customer service agent, demanded my money back, went to another store and purchased a similar printer for more money. That is probably how I would have acted a few years ago.) 

So, I had a good day. This morning I woke up to find someone had commented on one of my blog posts…YAY! I thought, I am uplifted whenever anyone takes the time to comment. But this was a TROLL. Yikes. Yuck. Ick.

I sent the comment to the trash because I don’t need anyone smearing ME with THEIR “junk” but basically I was told that I was naive and “to grow up.” (The issue was a post I wrote about the power of positive, group thinking, comparing it to a Criss Angel episode I watched 6 months ago).

In the last 2 or 3 years I have discovered that (GASP) I feel better, happier, safer, freer when I believe that positive forces rule/fuel the world. I am happier when I CHOOSE to see the positive aspects of my life, and the examples in it. Do I believe everything anyone tells me? No. I am the first to check out www.Snopes.comwhenever I’m sent a crazy email. Do I believe everything that Criss Angel (a paid illusionist) does is pure and real? No, but at that point in my life I was searching for a sign, and I think I got one. Does that make me naive? Maybe in some people’s eyes.

I the end I am happy and my family is happy. What else matters? I am going to continue choosing to absorb the positive vibes of those around me, and deflect the negative ones. There is enough “junk” in this world, and I have my own to deal with, I don’t need yours! (And you don’t need mine).

Do you think you’re not in control of your life? Think again. Rebecca Rosen reveals why you have the power to co-create your destiny. 
In last month’s article, we explored how to determine your dominant intuitive senses as well as the different ways intuition and spirit speak to you in your everyday life. But now you may be wondering why it’s important to be intuitively connected and spiritually awake.

Over the years, spirit has taught me that we each come into life with certain lessons to learn in order to spiritually grow and evolve. Before we are born into our physical bodies—and with the help of our spirit guides—we draw up a loose script, or blueprint, for our lives. The script is based on lessons we failed to learn the last time we were incarnated—yes, I am referring to reincarnation—and those we are meant to learn this time around.

While these particular predetermined events, encounters and lessons are bound to show up along our journey, it’s ultimately up to us what we choose to do with them once they appear. Meaning, the future is not set in stone! We have the power—through our choices and free will—to help direct, shift and shape our futures, acting as co-creators with God, the source and the universe.

As Elisabeth Kubler-Ross so eloquently put it: “Mankind’s greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear.”

We can say yes to life, embracing all that is showing up with an open heart and mind, while holding the intention to resolve, learn and grow from our experiences. When we do this, we pass the tests and grow spiritually. But when we’re in a disconnected state, we may act from our lower selves and fear. In doing so, we fail to learn the lessons life is currently presenting, which is what many of us do from time to time. And when we do, similar struggles will continuously to pop up in different ways until we get it right.

Strengthen your connection with your intuition

Many of us have fallen into the trap of listening to and being guided by our minds (ego) more than our hearts (intuition). When we are predominantly ruled by our ego, we tend to operate from fear, doubt, judgment, anger, jealousy, impatience and anxiety. When we’re feeling disconnected, dissatisfied and alone, it’s usually because we’re not striking a balance between our ego (mind) and our intuitive voice (heart).

On the other hand, when we are spiritually aligned with our authentic selves, operating from our hearts and in tune with our higher selves’ knowing or intuition, we tend to make better choices. And when we make choices based in love, we incur more positive and less negative karma.

Karma is simply the process of cause and effect. If you do A, B will happen. Karma (the law of cause and effect) is essentially the same thing as the law of attraction: that which is like is drawn. When we continuously put negative energy out into the universe through our thoughts, feelings, words and actions, we attract more of that negative stuff back into our lives. The reverse holds true as well. Every day I hear the same message relayed from the other side: Everything we think, say and do follows us when we die. Therefore, it’s in our best interest to be fully accountable for all of our thoughts, words and actions and strive to come from a place of love.

Once we realize all situations in our lives—the positive and the negative—are a result of our decisions, actions, inactions and reactions, we can feel empowered and inspired, knowing we do actually have a say in what happens to us.

To top that off, I’d like to remind you that it’s never too late to re-create. Many of us have regrets about past situations we wish we could undo. And while we can’t change the past, we are given what I call opportunities to redo. And how do we ensure a better future outcome? We start by “shushing” our ego and allowing our intuition to guide us.

Connecting with your intuition begins with quieting your mind through meditation. To help you get started, I will leave you with a simple breathing exercise found in Chapter 1 of Spirited: Connect to the Guides All Around You.This exercise helps me get into a more receptive state of mind for both my personal and professional spiritual work, as the breath connects us with spirit. I encourage you to experiment with it as a way to reconnect with your inner being and spiritual wisdom.

Try Rebecca’s breathing exercise

What you’ll need: Five undisturbed minutes. Choose a quiet place where you feel comfortable. For example, sit in the backyard or in a park (or on a bus stop bench, if that’s all you have). It doesn’t matter where you are, as long as it’s an environment that puts you at ease.

Close your eyes and begin to breathe deeply. After a few deep breaths, focus on clearing out your “icky” energy. Take a minute and ask any negative energy that’s hanging around to hit the road. Continue to breathe. Notice your breath start to slow down and become a steady flow of inhales and exhales.

Breathe.

For the next five minutes, try quieting your mind chatter. Stop thinking about what you’re going to do as soon as this exercise is over, how you’re going to meet your work deadlines or what you’re going to make for dinner. Release thoughts about yesterday or last week or last year. The goal here is to stop thinking about the past or the future and to learn what it feels like to be present.

Breathe.

Let your worries and anxiety drift away.

Sit in this place of stillness for as long as feels right for you.

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

Dump The Junk: 3 Flabby Thinking Habits You Need to Tighten Up

Welcome to the second webisode of Authentic Self Expressions. If you have a FREE copy of Dump The Junk & Be Happy, you know how important mindset it to living a great life. Here, I explain 3 habits that can get you in trouble if you’re not aware of them.

I have been talking A LOT about the importance “dumping the Junk” lately. Some of it has to do with the end of the Master LIFE Cleanse program, I always feel refreshed after teaching that course.

Part of it has to do with the need I see out there…people’s lives are still filled with JUNK! So I feel a personal responsibility to share my experiences with others. (Enter the Dump The Junk eBook, which is FREE, so you have no reason NOT to grab a copy, devour it and live it.)

In my Authentic Self Book Club meeting on Wednesday, one of the participants asked me how I was able to not let negative circumstances get to me. The short version of my answer is this:

I just don’t experience the negative in the same way that I used to. I’ve dumped the Junk, and become less magnetic to negative stuff (aka: Junk — sarcastic, angry people; guilt; anger; self doubt; debt). I just don’t physically or emotionally attract the stuff anymore.

Not that my life is perfect. Far from it! But I am living and experiencing a different life than I was 3 years ago. And it all stems from the effort I’ve been putting in to change how I am feeling and what I’m attracting. It takes effort, but done right, it feels effortless.

I’m not going to share how I Dumped MY Junk in this post, you can grab the free book for that, but I am going to share with you 3 of my favorite “happiness vibes” exercises.

These are the systems that I use to pull myself out of a funk when I notice I’m falling into one. And with time, I’ve managed to go from “flabby thinking” and letting my thoughts control my emotions with out my awareness, to being fit and fabulous! (Vibrationally, at least). These are the ways I did it.

1. Focus Wheel. This is an Abraham-Hicks Process and I’ve talked about it before. It’s just a wheel, with what I want in the center. I get “on” the wheel but stating a true, yet positive statement that feels good. After I get the first one (it’s the most difficult) the LoA takes care of the rest, flooding my system with more positive and true thoughts. By the time I’ve filled out the entire wheel, I am very close to feeling like I’ve already accomplished my goal in the center. And that puts me “into the vortex” to attract what I want, quicker and without a lot of effort.
   The Wheel on the right is a quick example I created. It should give you the basic idea to help you get started with your own. NOTE: Do not put anything on the wheel that doesn’t make you feel good! Only positive thoughts are allowed.
2. Gratitudes (specific). After I’ve completed the Focus Wheel, I  spend time coming up with 10 things that I am grateful for, specific to whatever I placed in the center of my wheel. (Example, if my Focus Wheel is all about feeling good and looking fit, I’d do 10 Gratitudes on how I already feel like a “thin” person).
3. Rampage of Appreciation. After the the Gratitudes I do another Abe-Hicks Process. I sit and I just appreciate everything around me. This is like a broad Gratitude list. I appreciate the sun shining and my healthy, fat cat. I love the sweater I’m wearing, it feels so good, and the computer I’m writing at. I love the people I’ve come across and the paint on my walls. Love everything, but be honest. You’ll create a lot of dissonance (resistance) if you try to fake this.

Those are my Secret Weapons to happiness. And I do them daily. Get into a habit of setting aside 20 minutes each day to do the same and see how it becomes a habit to feel good…and see how you become less attractive to the Junk in life!

As always, I asked…and was given.

I’ve been nervous about my upcoming 10k race that I’m running in 36 hours. May flew by in a flurry of live programs, book promotions, writing my own book and publishing an ebook. My birthday was somewhere in there too, and now I’m looking at running 6.24 miles in just over a day and thinking, “CRAP! I wish I’d made it a priority to train more.”

But there is no use spending a lot of time worrying or feeling guilty or beating myself up. That will do nothing but waste more valuable time and energy and vital life experience!

So I’ve been thinking, the last day or so, about how to change my attitude from dread to being happy just running/walking the 10k, rather than letting the competitive drive in me take over and punish myself for not working harder.

I got it. Just a few minutes ago. I was walking my dog in the rain, listening to some Abe-Hicks material (Tahiti ‘09) and Esther, channeling Abraham said

It’s like if you were running a marathon. (!!!! My ears completely perked up.) You don’t run the marathon for the reward at the end. (Really? That’s right!) You do it for the energy it gives you, and the feeling of completion, and the blood that flows through your body. You do it for the fun and the life experience.

And then she said something that really spoke to me

You didn’t come here to gather stuff, you can to align with life. This is about life. This is not about the doing of stuff, or the having of stuff.

BINGO! That was exactly what I needed to hear, and of course, I had to share it with you guys.

So there you have it. You’re not alive so that you can gather a bunch of toys, travel to exotic places and die. You are here, alive, to live your life! And that might mean that you gather lots of toys and travel to great places, but the important thing is that you’re alive and enjoying every minute of it.

For me, that translates into getting up at 5am, to run/walk 10 km along the beautiful river, likely in the rain, with my husband right beside me. If my time is in the 70-75 minute range, considering the training I did (or the lack of!), that’s fantastic. Otherwise, I’m just going along for the weather, the view and the company! Oh, and the really nice Adidas t-shirt that I get for registering

So, now I’m going to lace up my runners and grab my mp3 player…my treadmill is calling my name!
