Holy Cow! It's Cleaning Time!

It's spring, the time for getting rid of the old and bringing in new! Lots of that been going on here!

I'm talking about some serious emotional Spring Cleaning! Here's what was unearthed today ...

I am programmed to give and give and give and I have sucked (technical term) at receiving!!

That's right, today I uncovered an old deeply buried, incredibly false, but feels-like-true belief that goes something like this ... "I don't deserve for good things to happen." Ouch, that one hurts!

This surfaced because of work on a hot button issue - the giving and receiving of money!  Anyone else have issues in that department?  I've been working with this amazing coach Dave Blomsterberg and we've been working with the language of abundance. One thing he's been teaching me about is the infinite ebb and flow of money. To combat the years of negative self-talk, we've come up with a new mantra, which I've been repeating, "Money is for making good things happen."

But when I say it, I'd have this HUGE anxiety feeling around it .. HUGE! So I decided to examine this Big Hairy Spider belief that I don't deserve for good things to happen ...

First of all, how can anything fantastic sustain itself in your world, if you aren't open to receiving as well as giving!

So what to do? Change it! Learn about the beautiful balance that comes with gratitude of being open to both giving and receiving.

Dave teaches the language of abundance.  He always asks, what DO you want? Ok, so I flipped the afore-mentioned BHS belief into, "I deserve for good things to happen." Every time I say it my heart feels lighter. I deserve for good things to happen, I deserve for good things to happen!  Try it! You'll love it!

Bottom line, because I wasn't open to receiving all the good things the Universe was bringing me, I had a tendency toward self-sabotage. In the past, my language would have been, "I let go of the need to sabotage myself."  But that's speaking the language of lack ... Instead I replaced it with the language of abundance ... "I embrace my intuition, it makes me a success!"

It's a whole new world when you learn to receive as well as give! How you talk to yourself makes the difference between moderate success and total abundance! So speak positive words, think abundant thoughts, let all the good life has to offer in and enjoy this beautiful day!

You deserve your most amazing life ever!  For more information about how you can change your life with ONE SESSION, call or email at 818-889-1557 or dave@daveblomsterberg.com!

Positive Vibrations!

I'm giving off positive vibrations because I just did my first back to back cleanse days ... and am starting back to back 9 days!

Truthfully, for the past 6 months I've been slacking a little, ok, so maybe more than a little ... but the good news is, I managed to MAINTAIN the WEIGHT LOSS through probably the MOST emotionally challenging time of my life to date!  Life is good when you weather a hard Winter - Spring is that much sweeter!

So now I feel like I'm back on track ... Hurray for the Isabody Challenge 2011!  Anyone out there want to join with me? Summer's coming ... time to think bikinis, beach vacations, swimming pool parties ... Let's make this year the healthiest ever!

Let's start with a 9-day or a 30-day and watch the magic happen!

Cherry Blossom - An Omen of Good Fortune & Love

Every once in a while we all need to take a little time to play!

I walk past this cherry blossom tree every day and today after the storm, with the sun shining on it, I was so alive I had to take a picture. The cherry blossom is an omen of good fortune, love and affection. Who couldn't use more of that?

Somehow I think it's also about inspiration ... most people don't know this about me, but I am a budding artist. My best friend artist Carol Parks discovered that about me.

I remember the day we had the conversation ... I'm a writer, I insisted, no she said, you my friend are an artist. There are many way to be artistic, so shut up and embrace what you are! (She was always lovingly direct - no bullshit, she said, straight truth, then she'd look into your soul with her warm brown eyes.)

When I tried to argue, she held up her hand and said, trust me, my dear, you are what you are.  Best to not fight it!

That to was one of our many chats over green tea or a cuppa (what we called a latte). She passed away a few months ago and there's not a day goes by that I do not miss her wisdom, her wit and her undying devotion.

I guess I'm thinking about her more today because I'm going to my friend Beth's Mom's funeral. Something about death makes you want to feel more alive. So I listened to the voice whispering in my ear.  Paint, paint the cherry blossom tree!  And I did ... And you know what, I feel better.

My advice for today is to take a few moments and forget about what you should be doing and think for a moment about what you want to do - what your heart is calling you to do.  Then trust your intuition and go forward without hesitation.

Life is short, so make it sweet!

Have a fantastic day!
