Streamlining Our Focus

We are literally only a few days away from 2011...Let's use this time to reshift our focus...and prepare for the BEST REST OF OUR LIVES!

The Now Habit is now available for purchase through the RFR Amazon store.
Here are some excerpts from The Now Habit Philosopher's Notes:
"A complete treatment of procrastination must address the underlying blocked needs that cause a person to resort to procrastination. The Now Habit starts with a new definition: Procrastination is a mechanism for coping with anxiety associated with starting or completing any task or decision. From this definition it follows that those most vunerable to procrastination are those who feel the most threatened by difficulty in starting a project, criticisionm failure, and the loss of other opportunities that may result from committing to one project." ~Neil Fiore
"It is not discipline, willpower, or pressure from others that facilitates adherence to a challenging course of action. Rather, it is the freedom to choose , the personal commitment to a mission, and the willingness to take responsibility for the consequences of our decisions that steels the will and emboldens the spirit." ~ Neil Fiore from "The Road Back to Health"

VICTIM/PROCRASTINATOR? YOUR CALL
“Certainly others are frequently in positions of power to affect you and your job, and they might even try to judge your work or your skills. But they can never make you into a victim or a procrastinator. Only YOU can do that.”

This is Big. Super Big. (Technically speaking, of course. :)

It’s REALLY easy to fall into victim-mode where we blame those around us for our problems and look for rescuers to bail us out. Know that there’s a BIG difference between being victimized—which we ALL are at times (from being abused as children or cut off on the way to work) and being a victim.

Too often we think that being victimized DETERMINES our victimhood. But it doesn’t. We ALWAYS have a choice as to how we interpret an event and it’s REALLY (!!!) important we make that choice wisely.

So, if you’re currently feeling persecuted by people or circumstances in your life, take a moment to step back and see that between the challenges and your response there’s a gap. You wanna step in there and ask yourself how you can create the best response to the situation and avoid falling into the habits of complaining, criticizing, blaming and all that other not-so-fun stuff of victimville.

Why is this so important? Check out the video below on Learned Optimism for the research on “learned helplessness” and the fact that when we assume the role of disempowered/helpless victim we dramatically increase our likelihood of being depressed/sick/tired/etc.

As Fiore says: “The change in my feelings at that moment was quite dramatic. Stress was replaced with purposeful action; a sense of victimhood was transformed into empowerment.”


Becoming a Producer:

"As you begin to speak to yourself in a language that focuses on results rather than blame, on choice rather than have to, on what is rather than what you think should be, you will find that your body and mind cooperate by providing a level of positive energy free from the unnecessary struggles of the past and negative comparisons with the future." ~ Neil Fiore

"What small steps can I take NOW
so I can create the future I’m so excited about
as I enjoy this moment I’m so blessed to have?!?"

So, let’s have fun shifting from procrastinator to producer and KNOW that every time we make the shift we’re re-grooving our consciousness in powerful ways!

Remain Happy, Continue to Prosper and Move On...

"Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives." - Tony Robbins

One of the greatest powers we have as human beings is to assign our own meaning to the events of our lives. Every one of us has a story we believe about our past, present and the future. That story is either empowering us or disempowering us.

We've all have unexpected things happen in our lives. Loved ones has passed on, lovers have left, stock markets under perform, the government isn't doing everything you want it to be doing, the economy isn't great and things didn't quite turn out the way we thought they "should".

And yet in these exact same circumstances some people remain happy, continue to prosper and move on; while others continue down a spiral of sadness, depression and anxiety, eventually hitting a rock bottom.

What is the difference between these two people? At their core, the only different is the STORY they tell themselves and the MEANING they assign that story. When something unpleasant happens in your life - what do you tell yourself? What question to you ask when everything hits the fan?

Is it an empowering story and question or a disempowering one? If you ask the question "Why does this always happen to ME!?" and then assign some kind of meaning like "Good things just aren't supposed to happen to people like me," you are doing yourself a HUGE disservice.

If instead you asked yourself, "How can I be even MORE open guidance and see the lesson in every situation?" and gave events the meaning of "I am here to learn and grow, everything that happens in my life happens FOR me, not TO me," you are going to see events much differently.

How can you begin telling a different story about your life today? What new and empowering meaning can you give the events of your life? If you only changed this one element of your life - it would change it for the better in immeasurable ways!

We cannot always control what happens TO us, but we can ALWAYS control the meaning of the events and we can either choose to GROW or WITHER in every moment. The wise and wealthy always choose empowered growth over disempowered withering.

You are not a victim. You are the hero of your own life. Give it a new meaning, tell yourself a new story and watch how things start to get better, one day at a time.

Say this ALOUD:
I give the events of my life a new and empowering meaning!
I tell a new story and become whoever I choose!
I am the hero of my life!

The Positive Choice - Blogdate 12/8/10

If you are confused, a lost and wandering soul, as we can all be from time to time, right this minute, instead of turning everything over and over and over again in our confused heads, we should choose right now to go forth in to our day and our life just being a positive person. Let's make that our new goal. You can't afford the luxury of a negative thought. Not even one! They are way too destructive, and you are way too valuable of a person. Your thoughts count for so much, they are so creative, and you really need to keep each one tilted towards the light.

If a thought comes up that feels negative, put a positive spin on it, look at the bright side of it, or let it go. When positive thoughts start coming up, and they soon do, give those lots of energy! Start off every day with this intention and you'll go a long way towards being able to solve all the confusion in your life! You'll feel an instant sense of relief when you make the choice to be positive! When you really master this, even your relationship with food completely changes, with no effort.

I've been mulling over my life's direction, and the whole process has had a lot of ups and downs as things become more and more clear. Seeking the true desire of my soul, the greatest good of my family, the best direction for this heartsong business, how to integrate it with my creative ideas for books and music....Can I do all these things...do I need to let some of it go and really focus...why doesn't one of my ideas really stand out and passionately demand my attention....what kind of a person am I really...what do I want....what is the best thing to do financially....or should I be asking myself what is it I'm most passionate about....but could I even do that with my big family....If I dedicate myself to my art passionately will I be ignoring my children....and how do I even keep track of all these questions....And after thinking and working and trying and ....I wish I could say praying....but I know I haven't been doing enough of this!....obviously!! .....

....Well, wandering around literally, in a field by the playground with my 3 year old sweetie this morning, I just decided to stop this endless search for a life's goal, and just try to be a positive person. You know the minute I thought this, my entire being just gave a sigh of relief, and my whole world changed. You just never know when a breakthrough is coming your way! And I just knew that was all I needed to do, was to think positively. Storm and I talked about it and he agreed with me how true it is that even one negative thought, if you give it energy, can breed and multiply and take over your whole being, like a cancer, perhaps even manifesting as a physical cancer. It is so important not to indulge in negative thinking just because it feels easy or entertaining or dramatic or cool....Better to feel emptiness, humility, peace, openness, receptivity....and let the equally exciting positive thoughts grow from this place.

People think you have to think about negative things or you aren't dealing with reality. You can think positively about negative things. But believing you have to think negatively is like holding on to a cooked food diet after you've felt the incredible vitality of eating raw!

Make the Positive Choice now!

In Joy!

Down the mountain the river flows
And it brings refreshing wherever it goes
Through the valleys and over the fields
The river is rushing and the river is here

The river of God sets our feet a-dancing
The river of God fills our hearts with cheer
The river of God fills our mouths with laughter
And we rejoice for the river is here

The river of God is teeming with life
And all who touch it can be revived
And those who linger on this river’s shore
Will come back thirsting for more of the Lord
Up to the mountain we love to go
To find the presence of the Lord
Along the banks of the river we run
We dance with laughter giving praise to the Son

Signing off as Grandma Susan : )

Solution Oriented

You CAN Shift Your Focus NOW!

FOCUS is controlled by questions...

Want better answers....

Ask better questions!

Anthony Robbins talks about questions,

and how important it is to ASK for what you want,

and even ASK yourself, what you're doing,

why you're doing it,

and what you're gonna do about it!

Who Are YOU?

If a High School football team can go out and win after this speech,
YOU CAN apply this theme to your life and WIN BACK YOUR HEALTH! : )
Do not let the Beast rule you any longer!

Silence the Beast once and for all and BE FREE to enjoy THE BEST REST OF YOUR LIFE! : )

Do YOU really want to live a healthy and vibrant life? PROVE IT! JUST DO IT!

It's a Beautiful Life!

It's A Beautiful Life...and Don't YOU forget it! :)
If you put all your worries and troubles aside for just a minute and just focus on all good things about life, you'll realize just how precious and awesome life is.

If you just take the time to notice what's beautiful about life instead of what's ugly about it, you'll begin to realize that life is too short to not live it fully.

There's so much life to experience, yet so little time.

Embrace, enjoy, and make the BEST of it while you still can.


I hope this little song gets stuck in your head ALL DAY LONG! : )

I first got to know Penni nearly 2 years ago.  It was truly a blessing!  When she was writing her book, Raw Food Cleanse, I was one of her guinea piglets that participated in 'the experiment' that she worked with.

While the Raw Food Rehab website is totally FREE, and always will be, Penni has produced some pretty amazing ebooks. She always underpromises and overdelivers!  Penni will never toot her own horn, so I am going to toot it for her!  If you have not had the pleasure of reading them, here is your chance!

How Do YOU Respond?

"There are no failures - just experiences and your reactions to them."

If you do not 'feel' like you are succeeding....change your reactions to your experiences ~Susan : )

Healing Begins....It is Your Time Now...

Don't Make Mountains Out of Molehills

Don't Settle For Less Than The BEST!

The difference between ordinary & extraordinary is a little “EXTRA”.

Try extra hard, be extra determined, do the extra that’s required to separate the winners form the losers.

Ordinary is average & produces ordinary results.

Be EXTRAordinary and thrive!

Your PPOV : )

A POSITIVE POINT OF VIEW - PPOV

Have you ever thought about your POV? Point Of View. Your POV determines how you see the world and influences your perception of reality. This is significant because we don't live our lives based on reality but rather our perception of reality.

For example if you lost your job your POV could see it as an opportunity to start the business or pursue the career you always wanted while the POV of someone else might focus on the fear of going broke and never finding a job again.

One person is filled with positive emotions and energized by the opportunity while the other is paralyzed by fear and likely in need of therapy. The same event leads to two different POV's, perspectives, emotions and actions.

POV influences everything. One company views the economy as an opportunity to gain market share while another company complains that the good ole days are gone.

Talk to different people about politics at a party and you'll get different POV's. Walk outside in the rain and some will grumble that they are getting wet while others will be thankful because their yards and flowers needed the water.

Everyone has a POV and its important to think about how you see the world. Because how you see the world defines YOUR world.

I can personally attest that as someone who is not naturally a positive person I've worked hard to develop a PPOV. A Positive Point Of View. And by doing so for the last ten years I can see how my PPOV has enhanced my J-O-Y and my J-O-B. :)

What is your POV? Do you agree that PPOV is important?
