"Your passion will get quiet if you do not respect it. It will remain quiet and you will not feel it much, until you give it some time and attention. Your passion will not be able to bring you the synchronistic events you need - if you do not pay attention to it. "

Reading the last couple of lines, you may be thinking that I am off the deep end here - however give this train of thought a minute...

You may have been told in the past that you can speak to your inner child - your subconscious - your Essence - your higher self in order to start receiving and communicating with your internal world. It is the same concept here...

Now, You can do the same thing with your passion/purpose. Address it as if it was a person - quiet yourself down and spend a few minutes thinking about what you want to say to it - or write to it.

If you do not know what your passion is - tell it that. Like so many other things in life you can have a relationship with your passion. You need to respect it - to hear it, to follow it in order to be your best authentic self.

If you have ignored the signals it gave you in the past - it may in fact have gotten very quiet and no longer gives you those inspirational impulses. It does not mean that you do not have a passion, it is simply lying dormant. It is time to discover it - to awaken it - to re-energize it.

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."


Exercise #2 - See previous blog post for Exercise #1

Take a 15 minute block of time and either write a letter to your passion or stand in front of the mirror, look yourself in the eyes and speak to it. You will ask for forgiveness.

Passion I am sorry because... and use this sentence over and over again until you feel you are done. It will be interesting for you to see what comes up ... Note how you are feeling.

AHA Moment: On a personal note, when I did this exercise myself, I realized that as long as I was with like minded people, I was very comfortable speaking about my passion and purpose. However, when I was not with folks of the same mind set - I felt almost embarrassed. Recognizing this was significant, because I have been able to address it.

Now give yourself a pat on the back for doing the exercise and have a wonderful day.

“The true definition of Success is to be happy and fulfilled.”

The last couple of blog posts we have looked at the question of passion…

#1. Discover what you want.

#2. Personify your passion – ask forgiveness for whatever way you have neglected your passion in the past, and move forward.

And today, #3 – Are you making time for your passion or are you letting your passion get distracted?

Our culture has often focused on time management in order to get more things done. However there is something a lot more empowering than time management and that is management of your emotions. When I learned the latter my life became more productive and less busy.

If you can get real honest with yourself and take time to sit and reflect on your pattern of being and reacting… you will get clues as to how you handle your emotions. The more grounded you can be, and the more you can let go of the emotions that are no longer serving you - such as feeling overwhelmed, regret, and impatience the more time and energy you will have to spend on your passion.

“The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.” Earl NIghtingale

Exercise #3
Pull out your journal and …
What is currently occupying most of your attention and intention units? What is currently getting you emotionally distracted and taken off course?

Is there something you can let go of emotionally, that will allow you in the next 48 hours, to take an extra 30 minutes to put towards your passion? When will that 30 minutes take place and what will you be doing?

Thoughts are Powerful Things! Use Your Personal Power to create the life you want...

"The only way to get what you really want, is to know what you really want. And the only way to know what you really want, is to know yourself. And the only way to know yourself, is to be yourself. And the only way to be yourself is to listen to your heart." Mike Dooley

Welcome to another shiny bright day and I hope you are planning some time just for you. Yes, that's right just for you to contemplate what is important to you and to take a step towards that...

Good day ... I trust all is well ...

Having frequently used the line at the end of my writing " Learn To Be Your Own Wizard" ... I was encouraged to define the saying and share how that came about...

Over the years, I came to realize the many ways and circumstances, small and big, in which I (like many other women) had given my power away... I had in fact trusted someone else's opinion of me more than I had trusted my own... I put more faith in their ideas about what was in my best interest than I had put into my own... I was guilty of not trusting my own intuition... I would second guess myself ... and yet it is I who knows me better than anyone else.

How could they in fact have 100% clarity on my life picture, on what was true, authentic and right for me, if even I, was not sure????

What I realized was that I was having to learn some of life's lessons more than once, because I was not taking the time to connect to the real me, to get to know myself in depth, and trusting self ... so naturally the Universe had to get my attention in new ways ..

When the messages came to me in the form of stronger negative experiences.. aka felt like I was being hit over the head with a two by four... I GOT IT!

It was time to sit, to examine where there were repetitive patterns, and to clue in to what was going on. I could no longer just depend on the logical head and the outside appearances. I needed to connect to my heart, my intuition, my Essence - my core.

Yes, it was fine to attend conferences, tap into the services of coaches, gurus and so called experts, but at the end of the day I still had to do what I felt was right... after all I am 100% responsible for my entire life experience (PS - that lesson was not a comfortable one to learn but it has been so liberating).

On a less intense level, I also came to realize that though a product, a service, a particular home business or an investment, was right for someone or even for many women... it might not be right for me because .. there are so many invisible factors that are not taken into account, when products and services are recommended, as these factors are in fact invisible... Mmmm!

So slowly but surely I came to the place where I take in the information, I ask a lot more questions, I mastermind with those who are on the path I want to be, I sit with it all till I gain more clarity (if it is something of greater significance - this is not about going into a case of paralysis by analysis) and then I act...

This process has allowed me to reclaim my sense of self, increase my self confidence and move forward with purpose, passion, and much inner peace. I have grown to accept myself and my Being.

More importantly I am manifesting more of what I desire to see, feel, and experience in my life!

Yes, there will be times I may still be walking through mud.. but I will be able to see it as simply the mud it is, and still remain centered and calm, and not turn mud into cement and therefore impeding progress.

Learning to Be Your Own Wizard is believing You have the inner resources that You can tap into and further develop...in order to move forward and create the life You want. It is about listening to Your quiet voice within, and connecting to Your inner wisdom!

Have yourself a fabulous day and learn to Be Your Own Wizard.

Your personal power can be greatly enhanced by turning within.

Many times we come face to face with major decisions to make, and we have a hard time deciding what is right for us.

One of the reason that occurs is our monkey mind keeps interfering, and we have a hard time listening to the small voice within.

Secondly, we often feel we are in a major rush to make the decision, and at that point if we have not trained our mind to quiet down, to tune into our higher wisdom, we feel that it is not time to start the processs.

Personally, over the last four months, I have had two major decisions to make - one in regards to my career, and one in regards to a personal relationship.

By continuously choosing to anchor into my Essence, to set out my intentions, and to trust that I would receive the messages needed in as gently and positively a way as possible... I am happy to share that I have received my answers, though the answers are not what I had orignially thought they would be.

Both situations are now unfolding, and I have learned to trust my inner self on a much deeper level.

Four months, to straighten out two major areas of my life ... now feels like a short time.

One of the greatest lessons through the process of turning within, is that the most effective doing can simply be no doing at all, but rather Be in a better state of Being.

Furthermore, my sense of inner peace has increased and I feel a deeper satisfaction and happiness.

I am truly grateful.

For me turning within is now an essential part of my day ... as I am witnessing my personal power increase.

Can you share a strategy you use to turn within and hear your small voice?

Self empowerment comes from knowing what you want, knowing your values, and what you stand for?

As I have a few days left of business before heading back home, I have been taking some time to be outdoors ( up here in Canada the weather has warmed up - YES!), observe and reflect....and a line I heard from a very successful woman came back to me: "Every time I have heard a woman tell me she did not achieve her goals, upon further discussion, the same scenario has repeated itself. The woman was not clear on what she wanted, what was important to her and therefore got distracted and derailed along the way."

This morning I am sitting and thinking how have I gotten distracted this past year and what were the results of these distractions? Where was I not clear in my intentions?

"The quality of our lives depends on the quality of the questions we ask ourselves."

You can increase your personal power by taking time to get clear on what is important to you and why. This way any decisions you need to make will be easier to make. And more importantly you will be closer to honoring your true self.

Learn to Be Your Own Wizard.

Lynette
http://www.formulatomanifest.com

Had you told me a few years back that there is a gift to be had in suffering, I may have questioned your reasoning... however I now know that is a truth.

If we choose to do some personal development in order to enhance the quality of our life, to live our purpose and follow our passion, it is pretty much a sure thing that we will undergo some uncomfortable moments, and even some painful ones as we drop the veneer and become our authentic selves.

Yet, the relief, the feelings of freedom, the boost in energy, and the creativity and productivity that will follow, is worth it all. You will even start to wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Twelve days ago, I chose to go through what has proven to be one of my most painful life moments. At the time I was did not know how things would unfold, but my intuition had been telling me that the inevitable needed to be dealt with, if I was to move forward anchored in my Essence, to follow my purpose, and honor my own truth.

Since the moment that the so called balloon got royally burst, and through the many tears shed, the Universe has now delivered gifts and synchronicities that it was unable to deliver, prior to my getting clear on what I wanted, why I wanted it, and making a DECISION.

Those couple of hours have led to the following (please know that I am not sharing this to impress you but rather to empress upon you, that once we listen to our inner voice, life begins to change). I could not have accomplished this even if I had planned for it.. in the last week and half...
- I terminated a job, cleaned out all related files
- cleaned out the files in my computer
- cleaned out every drawer, and closet I have
- was able to donate 3 van loads of stuff
- got supplies and painted 3 bedrooms
- had all carpets and upholstery in the house cleaned
- took time for lunch with some business friends and was then offered a wonderful opportunity to speak this fall on my passion, and at this same meeting had a chance to get housing arrangements dealt with
- went into the office where I will be working this fall, and followed through on the hiring process for a new employee
- listened to a core members call - which I believe what the absolute BEST yet
- had a coaching call
- gained further clarity on what my sacred gifts are, what my purpose is and what my next step is
- actually cooked some great healthy meals,
- even shed a couple of pounds
- by working on myself, my partner of 29 years decided to get some professional help and do what is right for himself
- had a quality conversation with each of my sons who are currently out of town
- was able to assist my brother find a translator for his business
- attended friends 25th anniversary party
- found time to journal and get quiet twice a day
and yes I did sleep every night and even had an afternoon nap - which I never do.

I feel more grounded and I have been told that I look like a huge weight has been lifted and that despite the suffering I appear "happier".

Furthermore, through the "core" members call I came to realize that to create our own path - our own legend - we need to go on our journey on our own, and those who love us will follow us.

I know that the suffering is not complete - but now I can embrace it and look for the gifts within it.

I am in total gratitude for this entire life experience and the wonderful people alongside me, on my path.

In order to manifest our desired life we need to deal with our Energy Vampires.

Energy vampires are those things, circumstances or people who suck us dry of our very valuable energy. At first, they actually serve a wonderful purpose, which is to teach us to set boundaries on our time, efforts, and energy, to learn how to say No, and to help us reclaim our own power.

Once we recognize what the energy vampires in our life are, there is no need to keep them and create energy deficits, we can simply let them go gently.

However, it is very possible that we are our own energy vampire.
How can that be?

If we keep repeating negative self talk, if we choose to repeat patterns of behavior that do not serve us, if we do not take care of our health, if we deprive ourselves of meaningful relationships, if we suppress our emotions rather than work through them and learn to manage them, if we always put others first, if we negate our gifts and talents, if we ignore the quiet voice within.. and the list goes on... In fact there are many ways we create and maintain energy leaks in our lives.

Which energy leak can you start to put a plug on in the upcoming days which will help you increase your level of personal power and hence your manifesting ability?

Affirmations - Are you using them for self empowerment, and do they work for you?

Late one evening, my 20 year old son came back from visiting some friends and upon walking into the kitchen said," Mom, what do you think about affirmations? Some of the authors, whose books I have read, appear to be changing their thoughts on the use of affirmations?"

Well that question certainly got us talking into the wee hours, and led me to do more reading and reflecting.

I would like to share the clarity I gained.

Affirmations are for you and me the individual, and not for the Universe itself. Affirmations are not to be used as a plea or thought of as a bargaining tool with the Universe.

Affirmations are simply a tool like many others to help us retrain our subconscious mind.

When we start using our chosen affirmations, it is very normal that at first they may not feel completely true. We are not to worry about that. We simply need to say them slowly, over and over again (5 minutes upon awakening and 5 minutes before retiring for the night), to help cleanse our subsconcious of false beliefs, and instead imprint a new and better belief.

N.B. A word of caution: Although it is normal that at first an affirmation may feel untrue and actually feel like a lie until it gains momentum, you will be better served if you can start with smaller steps. In other words, choose an affirmation that is more believable until you can move on to exactly what you want to experience.

Example: Rather than saying, I am abundant( and currently you cannot make your bill payments) try saying something like, "God ( use the label that fits for you) is the source of all of my supply. All of my needs are met in every moment in time and point in space. Every day I am advancing spritually, mentally, financially and in all ways."

Health, success and wealth are all in the mind. Dr. Joseph Murphy teaches this principle in much detail and clearly states that we really need to work much more on our minds than on our current conditions.

No it does not mean, you can sit on the couch all day and simply repeat words. What it means is that you take inspired action, as we are taught here in the BraveHeart community, while using your affirmations to help your personal growth and transformation.

The key to remember is that : Your deeper mind will come to accept as a fact, whatever it is that you repeat to it often enough, in slow convincing tones.

Ideas are imbedded in the subconscious mind with repetition; by having faith and expecting the desired results.

You must believe in the power of your word.

Just like the seeds that are planted in the ground, although you do not see them, they come to bear the plant and fruit... so too the seeds (thoughts) you
plant in your mind will come to bear their fruit.

When we water and fertlize seeds in our garden they grow better and faster. Your mind works the same way. Cultivate the new thoughts you are putting in your head. Give these positive thoughts frequent attention and pull out the negative thoughts.

You must know what you are doing with affirmations (retraining your mind) and why you are using them. For affirmations to work, they are not to be repeated in vain with no conscious thought.

My favourite affirmation from Dr. Joseph Murphy, that I use morning and night to retrain my subconscious is:" I am now writing in my subconscious mind the idea of God's ( again use the term that suits you) wealth. God is the source of all of my supply, and I know that God is the life principle within me and I know that I am alive. All of my needs are met in every moment in time and point in space. God's wealth flows freely, joyously, and ceasessly into my experience and I give thanks for God's riches forever circulating in my experience." Then I go about my day.

At first no matter how often a negative thought pops into your head, counter it with "God (use the term that is right for you) is my instant supply meeting that need right now." Or " God is my instant and everlasting supply and that bill is paid in Divine order."

After a while your thoughts of lack will lose their momentum and your new thoughts will gain speed. It is very important that we be patient with ourselves during the retraining of our mind. Most people start and give up much too quickly, thus confusing their subconscious.

If we keep saying things like "I cannot afford that or I can't buy that." our subconscious mind takes us literally and we block all of our good from coming to us.

Instead saying something like." That beautiful vehicle is for sale. It's a Divine idea and I accept in Divine order through Divine love."

Retraining our subconscious mind for all that is good and beautiful, will set the law of opulence in motion for us.

We need to feed our minds with patterns of thought that give life rather than with patterns of thought that cut off life.

We must not go into retraining our subconscious with struggle and strife. You cannot force your thoughts any more than you can force a plant to grow.

We must learn to calm our body prior to repeating our affirmations so that our mind is more receptive. It is a quiet mind that accomplishes things.

For the sceptic in us, if we think that words repeated over and over do not work, simply step back and think about what you were told as a child. Which words were repeated over and over to you by well meaning adults?

Did you grow up believing that you were capable, worthy, deserving of all that is good? Or, did you grow up believing (and still believe) that you were stupid, non athletic, not capable of much and so on?

Summary:

Decide on what is important to you.

Word affirmations that you can start to use morning and night, to retrain your subconscious.

Repeat your new thought patterns over and over ( 5-10 minutes twice daily).

Have faith this will work for you.

Expect that by retraining your subconscious you will achieve new results.

Prompt decision making is a very valuable skill that one must learn in order to be successful.

Many studies have been done concerning successful women and men, and the one characteristic that comes up over and over again, is their ability to make quick decisions and then adhere to them.

On the other hand studies have shown that people who are not successful hesitate to make decisions. They hum and haw, and continue to wait.

Many of these same individuals once they did make decisions, failed to stick with them. Ouch - I have been guilty of that one!

It is never too late to bring back order to a disordered mind or to a disordered life. Simply start to make small logical decisions and follow through with them.

We must remember that choosing not to decide is also a decision.

The power in making a decision is as important to our health, to our family and personal life, as it is to our business and work life.

If you are finding decision making to be hard or confusing, the following strategy may be useful. However, if you have not done something like this before, You will likely need to practice this for a while before it feels natural, and that you can receive the answers you seek. The answer may come in the form on an idea that pops into your head, an intuitive hunch, an inner feeling of certainty.

"Sit quietly, relax, breathe deeply, and spend a few minutes thinking about the Infinite Intelligence residing in you and the Infinite Presence within you. Imagine this intelligence answering your questions. Feel yourself surrounded by the love and the light of the Infinite. The answer will come to you."

It is becoming clearer, that in order to manifest our desired life, desired life conditions and even material things, we must continuously work at being a channel for the Life principle.

"Your future is of your own making. For the only law of infinite energy is the law of supply. The “Life Principle” is your principle." Robert Collier

Being a channel for this Life principle requires that we focus on allowing the Life principle to flow freely, joyously, harmoniously and lovingly through us.

One of the ways we can do this is by rejoicing in other people's success, and in all aspects of their wellness and prosperity.

By wishing other people even more than what they are currently experiencing, you are actually wishing that for yourself.

When we think positively about another, we are actually starting to create the abundance, love and wellness we seek, in our own mind, body and experience.

Rise was a unique and extraordinary event on many levels! Like many others here, I have been reviewing, contemplating, planning, and simply being in the bliss of the 4 days spent in the company of phenomenal women; women who have embraced their gifts and tapped in their power within.

There are too many gems to list them all, however here are some of the highlights that stand out for me:

* Reconnecting with old friends and meeting some of the newest members of our community. The ladies were open, caring, willing to share their wisdom and insights, and shining examples of what is possible when we align ourselves with our Source.

* Having the opportunity to get on stage and have a one on one chat with Rolanda Watts and Marla Maples, along with other members of the BraveHeart Views.

* The S factor with Sheila Kelly and the importance for women to reconnect with their bodies. How being in the corporate world, women have linearized their bodies, negated their hips, and moved away from their creativity.

* The 7 Secrets to Timeless Aging - and how belonging to a community and nurturing your spirituality are part of those 7 secrets.

* Peggy O'Neil "I am not my body." Such a powerful statement and one women need to remember.

* The performance by Gloria Loring on Saturday morning - a healing session for me.

* Prosperity Panel - "Debt is a tool when used wisely." That certainly alleviates stress.

* Formula of Intention + Attention + No tension = desired result.

* Dr. Sugar's story and the concept of healing at a cellular level.

* The beautiful environment and the high level of energy.

And the list goes on and on....

On the flight back home, it was fabulous to simply review the notes, savor the gems, and get an action plan in place. I am confident that as the gestation continues, more ideas, action steps, along with greater clarity and internal strength will be birthed.

Ellie, Charlie, Dr. Sugar, Linda, Kent, Carol, Doug, and all members of the BraveHeart Team - Thank You from the bottom of my heart for four days filled with opportunities for Self Honoring, of seeing the possibilities that exist for each and everyone of us.

Your generosity of spirit and the special touches at every turn of the corner, from the flowers on the table, the servings of fruit, the goody bags, the delicious meals, the Gloria Loring CD, and so on and so forth were over the top! You certainly made us feel welcomed and valued.

In total gratitude,

Lynette
