How to Go Beyond the Fear of Change and Kick Start Your Life
Sep 3rd
Do you know many people believe that the familiar is comfortable? Do you know that this belief is based on a deep fear of change? Do you know this fear limits, constricts and robs your life away from you? Do you know that it is possible to completely eradicate/erase/delete this fear thereby releasing and empowering you to be the master of your mind, body and life? Do you know that doing so will leave you feeling confident, capable, strong, resilient, creative, courageous, spontaneous, optimistic and loving the experience of being fully alive? How does one achieve this you ask?
If you have ever seen those TV commercials where a car barrels through a large painted poster representing a rock wall you will begin to appreciate that the fear of change is exactly the same as that illusory barrier. It intimidates you at the level of your inner or subconscious mind by hypnotically seducing you with a constricting representation of what you think is reality.
It makes you “think” reality is unpredictable, uncertain, dangerous, uncomfortable, effortful, and not worth pursuing. This however blocks what is the very flow of Life Force Energy through your life. In other words it brings your life, and life itself, to a screeching halt. This is equivalent to dying!
If you suffer from such a fear and you stop and reflect on how your so called “life” feels to you you’ll notice that it feels stuck, blocked, frustrating, unfulfilling, unsatisfying, lacking creativity and spontaneity, lacks energy, enthusiasm and passion and hence lacks Life Energy itself. Well, the experience being described here is that of death itself.
There is a way to go beyond this fear of change once and for all so that you can be completely free of it and more connected to life itself. There is a coaching process developed over 10 years ago that erases negative beliefs, memories and feelings that does just this.

Be Your Own Cheerleader and Believe in Yourself
Aug 28th
When asked, most of us can rattle off a whole list of things we believe in. But if I were to ask you the most important question of all: “Do you believe in y-o-u?” you might come to a screeching halt.
Many times, we go through life picking up the belief system of our families and the values of our friends, without asking ourselves whether the ideas are truly meaningful to us.
You might go along for years without any real problem, and then suddenly hit a wall. Maybe you don’t get the job you wanted or the relationship you hoped for. Suddenly you’re filled with self-doubt, and it’s confusing.
One of the biggest causes of stress and unhappiness is an underlying lack of self-confidence. When you doubt yourself, it’s hard to make decisions because you second-guess yourself all the time, trying to please others and trying not to make a mistake they will criticize or condemn.
Life is full of mistakes! That’s how we learn what doesn’t work, so we can discover what does. At least, we have the potential to learn if we don’t get stuck in regretting the mistakes we make. Looking back over your shoulder all the time means you are going to stumble on the path today because you won’t even see the roadblocks in front of you.
Have faith that you are capable of growing and learning from the things you try that don’t work out so great. Be inspired by the stories of people who surmount their struggles and go on to excel. You can do it, too, even if you aren’t an Olympic champion or a celebrity or an award-winning business person or artist.
Take a few minutes now to make a list of your best qualities. Some of them might be that you are kind-hearted, friendly, generous with compliments, a good team member. Everyone’s list will be different, so don’t worry about whether the list sounds “good enough” – you are enough just the way you are.
Now realize that if you don’t have faith in your own ability to succeed, then who will?
In your own world, be a winner. Focus on your goals and keep striving to learn from what doesn’t work, so that you will find the things that do.
