Breathe....Just Breathe
Music, it is so powerful and transforming. How quickly can I change my mood and my state with a song. I am listening to music on my laptop and each song changes me in the moment. It is so incredible how listening to Breathe (2 AM) makes me take such deep breaths. I have noticed recently that it feels as if I am holding my breath. I don't know why. I just find myself thinking and holding my breath. I don't think that I am stressed out or crazed about something. I wonder what is causing it.
So, I have completed 5 days of my three 30-day goals. I shared the 30-day concept with Karen in the office and she was totally intrigued. I gave her http://www.stevepavlina.com/ to check out. I so am digging that site and his 'experiments'. I am so digging my 5 days of success. I am excited to increase my list of goals to tackle for the upcoming year.
I signed up for Marcia Wieder's http://www.dreamcoach.com/ Dream Circle this week. I have had a tons of fun downloading her teleclasses to my iPod. (Speaking of which, I need to manifest another larger MP3 player into my life. I need more space for more music, lectures, etc.) Anyway, yesterday on the way to work, I listened to "Dealing with Doubt". There were some gems in the lecture that got my brain going. One of the things that really got my attention was sharing your dream with others. How many people talk about their dreams anymore?
So, today, I shared my dream at lunch which my co-workers. It felt kind of awkward and empowering at the same time. One of the ladies got excited and shared that she wanted a career makeover. I shared the information about "What Color is Your Parachute?" http://www.jobhuntersbible.com/. I listened to Richard Bolles today on the way to work. I ended up buying one of his recommended books: ASK. It's about a woman who finds that just by asking, she gets so many awesome perks. I can't wait to read and apply this information. I really enjoy Jack Canfield's Aladdin Factor which is similar...I think. I need to re-read that book and APPLY the knowledge.
Another gem of an idea came from MW herself. The topic was Big Intention 2007. She shared that we need to set our intentions (goals, prayers) out ahead of us. She also shared that we should place our intentions in OUR own actions and not on the outcome. This is such a powerful idea. I know that it is not the first time that I heard this, but this time it really struck my core. While coaching with Shyanne, she shared this idea. It worked well, but I allowed my old pattern of thinking of the outcome get me. I know now that it is because I value "certainty" so highly. Yeah, I learned that too is an illusion. Ha ha!
Due to my 5 days of working out, I am (happily) sore. My abs, my glutes, my calves, my back are all sore. Woo Hoo! I am working it baby. It reminds me of what I get to look forward to: a fit, healthy, ready-for-action, kick-ass physique. I will be doing cardio tomorrow. More Chalene baby!
On Monday's episode of Oprah, Bob Greene shared his new program and book, The Best Life Diet http://www.thebestlife.com/ . Debbie encouraged me to enter for a chance for Oprah's crew to follow me while I achieve my goals. Wouldn't that be something for accountability?! So, today, I sent my 2000-character, online entry with 3 photos to http://www.oprah.com/. I wonder when they are going to announce the 'winners'. How incredible would that be?
I was supposed to meet Dave for our second coaching session in SF. I decided to re-schedule our appointment due to the fact that there were only 2 lanes open on the bridge at commute time. I chose to not sit in the crazy traffic even though I was excited to meet for our planning session. I hope that he can get me in this weekend.
My intention for tomorrow: To get an awesome workout in before work. To walk with calmness in my heart. To be a blessing to each person that I encounter. To do a great job with each interview.

2006--->bleck, 2007---> My best year yet!
So, I realize that I haven't updated my blog in a loooooong time. A year to be more precise. I expect this to change. I am totally into journalling now...okay, I want to be, but I have been so consistent in writing. It feels great.
I also just realized that I need to come up with some new adjectives for awesome, great, fantastic. I want to expand my 'positive reaction' vocabulary so that it is more exciting and a better representation of my true sentiments.
Anyway, 2006 overall was a poopy year. I gained another 25 pounds. I grew deeper in debt. I still am at my job that does not fulfill me. It's funny how this happened despite the fact that I was VERY aware of my ability to create any change that I desire in my life. It is as if because I was aware of it that it became larger than me.
The highlight of my year was my Date with Destiny experience in December. Shortly before attending my six-day event in Palm Springs (December 6-11th), I reviewed my year. It was then that I realized that 2006 was an utter disappointment. Thank goodness that I didn't have to leave 2006 that way.
With just 3 weeks left, I created the best experience of my life. I see now that my "winter" allowed for my 'SPRING' to take hold. I am ready for change, I am ready for growth. I am ready to implement the knowledge, tools and resources that I have spent the last 2 years growing, gathering and cultivating. It is now time to pluck the ripe fruit from the vine. Not another book, lecture or coaching session is going to make me 'even more ready' for what actions I need to take. It's time to use industry to make my goals a reality. Pure, consistent, hard work is going to take me through what I know to what I am. This is something that I have been unwilling to do. No one gets to a dream without doing the work necessary. I have been waiting for my dream to land in my lap. When was the last time that ever happened?! Ha!
What I want:
1. Lose 70 pounds by October 1st, 2007.
2. Grow my spirituality through practice of meditation, self-love and manifesting.
3. Reduce my debt by $15,000.
4. Attend and graduate at the top of my makeup artistry class. Be invited to work with a well-established organization.
Why I want it.
1. I want to be show up at my 30th birthday fitter and finer than ever!
2. It feels so great to be connected to God. I know that I will have a sense of fulfillment that is available regardless of material matters and current external circumstances.
3. This is more weight than the excess weight that hangs on my body. Reducing my debt by $15,000 will alleviate so much pressure and stress from my life. This will also bring me closer to financial freedom
4. Makeup artistry has been a love and passion of mine for a long time. It is therapy for me. I love how I feel with a job well done. I also love to see how the women react when they feel good about how they look. It's a portal to creating a stronger sense of internal beauty.
What I am doing now:
I am working on my goals in stages. Currently, I am working on my spirituality and health and fitness goals as they are higher on my values list than the other goals. I have set up '30-day trial periods' to get my goals jump-started with a focus. It is so easy to create goals and even easier to forget about them. I found that working in stages with a short-term goal, I am more conscious of my desires. It also helps with my habit of procrastination.
I didn't realize how bad my habit of procrastination is. I didn't realize how quickly I create excuses to get out of what I need to be doing and stray from what is important to what I want now. Focusing on these short-term goals allows for me to focus on NOW instead of later. It is so simple, it's a breakthrough for me! Transformational!!!
