Inspiration for you! RELISH DISCOMFORT

Remember the old adage: If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always gotten?

Tricky thing is that our brains are set up to HAVE us repeat our old patterns and thoughts, EVEN IF THEY DON'T WORK!
In order to create the changes you want, you'll need to think and act differently!
You do that by reprogramming your brain.
The reprogramming takes awhile -
And while you are reprogramming new beliefs and taking new actions.
Your brain will fight to maintain status quo.
It will feel awkward at best.

At this crucial stage, we want to remind you that feeling uncomfortable is GOOD
Yes, that's right, we encourage DIScomfort at www.SuccessCoachingForWomen.com and www.ElectricKites.com!
It's a sign that you're shedding things that don't work for you...
You're up to something big!
We know it won't feel comfortable
because you're outside your comfort zones.
And we want all of you to be taking bold actions
towards your goals and dreams.
That requires feeling a big "GULP!" of discomfort

Relish the discomfort and go big!

Inspiration for you! **Perfection**

We want to inspire you to let go of perfection!

Women are especially programmed to attend to details,
which can have us trying to be perfect all the time.
But "attending to details" and being "perfect" are not the same thing.
And perfection is impossible!

More importantly, trying for perfection is a HUGE time suck!!!
When you attempt the impossible you position yourself in an energy vacuum.
Besides being draining energetically, this vacuum dramatically compromises your productivity!
Even worse, pestering your soul with impossible tasks, kills your spirit
and leaves you feeling incapable.

You need to be feel capable to be successful.

So consider this: What if you took "being perfect" off the table completely?!
What if you followed Associate Director, Sam Bennett's "Power Practice"
and just went for the "C" in life instead of the "A"?

We are asking you,
challenging you,
to stop letting perfectionism run the show!

Notice what happens:
Notice how much time is freed up
Notice how much love is freed up
Notice how much joy is freed up
notice how much momentum you gain!

Drop the A+ perfection act
and go for the C!

Allow yourself to put happiness over perfection!

Let go of perfection and watch your goals take flight!

Friday Inspiration **Intuition**

We want to remind you of the power of your intuition.

We all have been gifted with a natural intuitive ability
and it is our job to use that gift to the fullest.

Take a look in your life right now
and tune in to your intuition, your gut instinct,
and see what wisdom it wants to share with you right here and now.

Is it calling for you to make a change?
To begin to exercise more?
To let go of a team member?
To go for a new job?
To open up to a new love?

Practice tuning in to your intuition as often as possible,
so you can exercise it like a muscle,
and hone in on your intuitive gift.
Let this serve as a reminder for you to own the power of your intuition
so you can experience even bigger success!

Happy weekend!

Ninety-Nine Compliments And One Criticism

What happens to you when you get ninety-nine compliments and one criticism?
Where does your focus go?
What happens to your self-esteem?
Yep. Us, too!

No matter how many compliments, successes or wins we experience, that one criticism seems to take up all the space in our heads.

Now, some of that is good: clearly it's important to be aware of areas that need improvement. But it seemed to us that the inordinate attention that one criticism (or failure or incompletion or regret or late fee or parking ticket or unreturned phone call or too-tight jeans) takes up has a disproportionate effect on our feelings of self-worth, and we could never figure out why, exactly, that is.

Thank heavens that the effervescent Marci Shimoff (The Secret; Chicken Soup For The Women's Soul) in her runaway best-seller Happy For No Reason (www.HappyForNoReason.com )offers this explanation:

"In prehistoric days, when cavemen Ugh and his wife, Mrs. Ugh were trying to survive long enough to raise the baby Ughs, they had to pay more attention to potential threats than positive events to avoid dangers like being eaten by a saber-toothed tiger.
This selective attention to negativity is what allowed Mr. and Mrs. Ugh and all the baby Ughs to survive."

Ah-HA! Now we know! We're not being excessively self-critical - we're just working in "survival mode." After all, it makes perfect sense that it's more important for our hunter-gatherer brain to remember the one berry that made us ill than the ninety-nine berries that were delicious. And even better, we can re-train our brains to notice the good more often, thus wearing down the neural pathways between us and our true happiness. Marci goes on to offer some excellent additional information in her short excerpt from her book - to read her free article "Velcro VS. Teflon" click here: www.isnare.com/?aid=262880&ca=Self+Help

Happy 4th of July---Indepence Day Inspiration

As we celebrate the 4th of July,
in between the BBQ's and parades, we want you to focus on your freedom.

What are you declaring independence from this Independence Day?

Are you free from a relationship that is no longer serving you?
Perhaps you're waving goodbye to a bad habit
like over indulging in food or drink?
Or over-fixing?
Or maybe you're saying "Free at Last" to a negative emotion
like catastrophic expectations or guilt?

We want you to declare your independence
right here and now
from at least one thing in your life that you're ready to let go of.

And celebrate your freedom!

Let the fireworks be a symbol of your freedom!
