Do you make this mistake?

Friday, April 16th, 2010

One of the most common mistakes people make when they want to change their life is to try and do it alone.  The truth is, Isolation Kills Dreams.

How many times have you started off on your own to bring about change in your life, only to have the effort fizzle out…and nobody noticed?  We are all more likely to follow through when someone else is involved.

  • At work you know you’ll complete any task that’s important to your boss.
  • You finish reading a book when you know it’s going to be discussed in your book group.
  • You show up for your yoga class, even if you never get around to doing your practice at home.

You need to enlist support to bring about change in your life

I designed my new telecourse, “Let Your Soul Sing: 5 Practical Elements to Create a Life of Fulfillment without Losing Everything You’ve Attained”, to offer you the support you need to create a life of meaning and joy:

  • Just joining the class creates the focus you need to get going.
  • The structure of the telecourse guarantees that you devote time, attention, and energy to creating the life you long for.
  • The information and exercises provided in each session offer insight, awareness and practical steps you can take to help you succeed.
  • You receive the support of others through the opportunity to share your successes in each session.
  • You have the benefit of coaching with me during the question and answer sections that are part of every session.

And now, I’m introducing an opportunity to create even more support for yourself.

You can bring a friend.

Think of somebody you know who wants to create a life of greater meaning and joy.  Invite them to join you in this telecourse. You pay the regular price – $297 for six sessions – and they sign up for just $197!

When you involve someone you know, someone who cares about you, you make it even more likely that you – and they – will succeed.

A poem + an invitation

Sweet Darkness

You must learn one thing.

The world was made to be free in.

Give up all the other worlds

except the one to which you belong.

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet

confinement of your aloneness

to learn

anything or anyone

that does not bring you alive

is too small for you.

- David Whyte

It is my mission to help you discover what brings you alive and create a life based on this, a life that makes your soul sing.

I am offering a six session telecourse beginning next week designed to help you do just this.

Please go to http://www.letyoursoulsing.com to learn more and to sign up.  You will receive the special bonus of a complimentary one half hour coaching session with me if you sign up by tomorrow.

Notice The Unexpected

Monday, April 5th, 2010

The story is told that when the very first tall ships of the European explorers arrived in the New World, the people on the beach were unable to perceive them.  These things were so far out of their experience and so entirely unexpected that they simply were not noticed.

We all tend to be like those native peoples when confronted with something out of the ordinary.  We generally notice those things that fit into our concept of the world and ignore events that fly in the face of reality as we know it.

In some ways this serves us.  We need to trust that the world is a predictable place.  However failing to notice exceptions to the rule can get you in trouble.

Like most of us, you probably have clear ideas of how you behave.  For the most part, these generalities may hold true. But they can limit your ability to change.

The assumptions you have about your patterns of behavior can keep you stuck if you fail to notice exceptions to the rule.

Notice Past Exceptions to the Expected

When contemplating behavior change, your expectation for success will be vastly improved if you can point to times in the past when you actually practiced the desired behavior.

For example, it is not unusual for clients to declare something like, “I never finish anything!”  When we look carefully at their past, however, we identify many instances when they actually finished important projects.

Identifying instances that disprove your negative expectations instills hope, an essential ingredient in successful behavior change.  When you acknowledge past success, you recognize that you have what it takes to achieve success in the present.  This establishes indisputably that the desired change is possible which leads, in turn, to the expectation that you can – and will – succeed.

Expand your notion of what is true for you

People make sweeping generalizations about themselves which, while often true, provide a limited picture of who they are or what they can accomplish.  I commonly hear from clients such statements as “I can’t focus” or “I’m lazy.”  These descriptors are used to justify the notion that change is not possible. The truth is that we are all capable of virtually any human behavior.

The phrase I love best as an antidote to such sweeping generalizations is “…except when I do” or “…except when I’m not.”

So, “I can’t focus, except when I do” or “I’m lazy, except when I’m not.”

The next time you catch yourself making this kind of definitive statement about yourself, pay attention to how it feels. Then correct yourself, using one of the phrases above.  Notice how different you feel when you expand your notion of what is true for you!

Notice Small Successes in the Present

I am often surprised at the difficulty my clients have at recognizing their successes, when these behaviors differ from the expectations they have of themselves.  Yet noticing success is essential to achieving new and desired behavior.

Pay attention to what works.  Notice carefully the outcome when you act in new ways.  You will have essential information    to guide you in the countless choices you make throughout the day.  When you notice those things you do that help you achieve your goals you become an expert in the solutions, not in the problems!

Allowing yourself to be pleasantly surprised will not only make your day more pleasant, it will help you establish the changes that will make your good life better!
