Are You Enough?

Fear is viral, it’s seductive, it’s controlling, it’s limiting. Fear has its place in helping us physically survive. Where would you be if you didn’t run, hide or fight in the face of a tornado, a flood, or any other threatening situation?

But Fear is not our divine birthright-it’s a reaction. We live in a world of Abundance, we have everything we need to create what we want, to live our dream. Most of us were brought up with the idea, thought and energy of scarcity. And just the opposite is true. There is enough for everyone; there is always enough. We as a culture have bought into the lie of limitation and scarcity. The truth is that we live in a world where energetically and spiritually speaking, there is enough- there is an unlimited supply of goods. You have life and the power you need to choose the life you desire. You weren’t “cheated” out of your portion of prosperity just because someone else has success.

The lack mentality hinders you from manifesting and creating what you really want. It keeps you in that longing energy or in the fighting energy to be better than others. It puts you in a contracted state of being where creativity and ingenuity die and cannot blossom and create possibilities.

Many have grown into the thinking and feeling or were brought up with the thinking that you are not enough or what you have is not enough or what you are doing is not enough.
And that is a big fat lie. The Law of Attraction tells you that if you keep thinking and especially feeling that you are not enough, what you have is not enough, what you are doing is not enough then the energy of not enough will boomerang back to you with not enough. You will manifest not enough.

The truth is you are enough. You are whole, perfect and complete as you are. Because you are growing and evolving beings, you will always want to be more, strengthen and develop yourself, desire more but if you come from a feeling of “not enough” then you will never feel satisfied or enough. It will be always not enough.

When is enough going to be enough?

Some of the questions to consider are:

· When you get a new job?
· When you lose those 20 lbs.?
· When you find the love of your life?
· When you have $100,000 in the bank?

The other question to consider is “How will you know when enough is enough?”

When you look outside yourself and place your focus on what others feel is enough, it will never be enough. When you look to others for validation or for what they think you need to be doing to be enough, you have veered away from the present and the appreciation for what you have and will never feel satisfied. There are always things to do, acquire and achieve. Peace comes when you feel that everything in your life right now is sufficient. Joy comes when you feel gratitude for what you have right now and excited for the possibilities yet to come.

How can you start applying the Universal Law of Abundance right now?

Start by aligning yourself with the vibration of abundance. You are worthy. You are enough. Be satisfied. I’ll share a mantra by Christy Whitman LOA Coach. Place your hand over your heart and say to yourself. “I am satisfied with what I have. My love, happiness and security is coming from within, from my creator, source and supply.”

How do you manifest? Start with what’s going on right now- where you are. Set goals, markers whatever words you prefer, feel them already accomplished, do the work needed to achieve them. Keep in mind- Intention, Attention, No Tension. Be open to receiving abundance.

Manifestation happens when you are in that feeling of peace of where you are yet excited about the possibilities to come. That’s why it’s critical to learn about all the Laws and not just the Law of Attraction and become aware of what you are thinking and feeling.

Whatever you focus on with your thoughts and self-talk you will receive an abundance of. The Universe/Source will provide an abundance of whatever energy you are broadcasting and whatever it is you are asking for.

Coaching Request: Start taking an inventory or be aware of what abundance you are actually attracting. Are you attracting an abundance of prosperity, love, health, wonderful relationships, fun activities, joy, and laughter? Or are you attracting an abundance of worry, fear, scarcity, doubt, shame, blame, anger, irritation?

The only thing standing in the way of you having, being and doing what you want is the conscious choice to align yourself with the truth that you are enough –that there is enough, there is abundance, the world is abundant. Focus on what you have and want versus what you don’t have. You are responsible for what you create- your outer circumstances. You are the one that needs to purposefully implement these wondrous and timeless Laws. The Laws work together- by Deliberately(Creation) applying the Law of Abundance you will by the principles of the LOA attract what you want and in doing so have applied the Law of Deliberate Creation.

Abundance is not only your birthright. It is who you are. You are abundant.

Being in abundance is being in the flow of life.

3 Principles to Audaciously Lead with Spirit

For the purpose of this article, I’m defining Spirit as the “life principle”, infused with breath “by a higher source, vivacity, courage, enthusiasm and vigor”, “true intention” and audacious as being bold, daring, fearless and not bound by a sense of shame”.

To lead with spirit in any given situation requires being audacious in being a model for well being and service. Sometimes this looks like not reacting to a zinger comment by a colleague, sometimes it’s gently yet assertively speaking your view or offering an opinion if asked, or not offering an opinion or bringing clarity to a situation or quietly listening in the midst of chaos. Whatever the moment, to be audacious in leading with spirit means being true to your higher self and of standing in a space of your true power.

After much thought on this subject, I realized that there are a number of principles to audaciously leading with spirit. Here are 3 of those principles:

1. Align and connect with your energetic essence and what you value.
to be spiritually centered.

When you are aware of what you value and is important to you, you have a center or base to respond in any situation. Your calm centered response becomes a model for others. Connect with whatever you call Source Energy and your core values to re-align yourself so you can be the leader you are seeking. This applies in every situation that you can imagine: to business, parenting, project management.You will then attract the people and situations you want in your life and be able to handle the not so fun ones that crop up in everybody’s life with more integrity and mastery.

2. Activate the Universal Law of Harmony:

As a leader, groups that have the intention of harmonious discourse and decision-making, create solutions more quickly than the opposite. First, you have the intention of self-harmony. Resolving to find balance through non-judgement of self, self-respect and mastery over your thoughts. You then have a base to extend that to others and collaboration is born of respect, honor and compassion.
One way to really activate this Universal Law is remove complaining from your repertoire. A great resource for this is A Complaint Free World by Will Bowen.

3. The Power of Love: send loving energy.

This is synchronistic with the Universal Law of Harmony. Of course, you begin with self-love which is the most challenging. By sending loving energy, you set in motion the ability to let go of your perspective and be open to the universe to provide unique solutions.

For example, you’re in a meeting and it’s not going very well. The temptation is to jump into the foray or sit there resigned to the fact that there will be no positive outcome. After centering yourself, send loving energy to each of participants or colleagues in the meeting. Think loving thoughts that all will be resolved peacefully. Even visualize everyone happy and satisfied with the outcome.

Try this with a variety of situations and see what the outcome is.

On a personal note, I used this powerful practice when handling a credit card charge error and it worked really well.

Much Joy,

Happy For No Reason

I had the great pleasure of interviewing Marci Schimoff last Tuesday on Self-Acceptance and Self-Love. I hope you registered for the call to receive the audio. It was a fantastic interview. I'll give a quick re-cap of some of the insights shared.

• Our thoughts cause us suffering: how we perceive situations and how we react or respond to them. We have 60,000 thoughts a day and most tend to be re-runs.
• 2/3 of Americans suffer from low self-esteem- that's epidemic in one of the richest countries in the world.
• When children are around 5 years of age, their self esteem tends to be around the 80%; when they graduate from high school it averages around 5%.
• Our heart is actually the master or mistress: there are more communication pathways from the heart to the brain than vice versa. Listening to what your heart is guiding you to do will keep you in alignment with well being and life satisfaction.
• A great resource to stay tuned into you Heart Rhythm Coherence is heartmath.com
• Lead with the heart with gratitude,forgiveness and spreading loving kindness.
• Unconditionally Happy people navigate through life with a inner backdrop of peace and well being that has nothing to do with their circumstances. They handle them differently.
• Your happiness set point is comprised of 50% genetics,10% circumstance and 40% habits, thoughts and behavior. You can raise your happiness set point by changing your thoughts, habits and behaviors.

As you give yourself permission to accept yourself for your gifts and talents and start to love yourself, you are a living and loving example for others to do so. Get a happiness buddy to keep you in that wonderful space of positive thinking and managing situations with more grace and ease.

Check out Marci's book Happy For No Reason at http://www.happyfornoreason.com/

One of the tools Marci recommended to "try out" is EFT. So happens that will be the topic of the Dec. 16 bonus interview with Brad Yates, EFT guru.

Until the next post,
