Well, thin is a subjective term that I wouldn’t necessarily apply to myself, but I have managed to stay at the same comfortable weight for 30+ years (with minor fluctuations in that time). How do I manage to stay the same weight? I have Food Rules that work for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the “rules” that you hear all the time is that you need to eat breakfast in order to lose weight and stay thin. Recently I heard even more specifically that you need to eat 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up to rev up your fat burning. Possibly, but that is not happening in my world. I have discovered that I don’t need to eat breakfast and in fact “I don’t want to eat breakfast” until I have worked out, showered and had time to get hungry…usually around 10-11 am. That works for me. I have discovered that if I eat an early breakfast, it revs up my appetite and I am hungrier all day and tend to eat more. My rule for breakfast is to eat when I am hungry and when I feel ready to eat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have also learned over the years that I don’t feel good if I eat after 6 or 7 pm. My food needs to be digested before I go to bed. I also put on weight if I eat late in the evening. I typically like to eat around 4-5 pm and I only need to eat 2 times a day since I am not very tall and don’t need a lot of calories. If I would eat 3 meals a day or the 6 smaller meals that are talked about these days, I would put on weight. My rule for the evening is to be finished eating by 6 pm. Of course that doesn’t always happen, but I feel better when it does. (And, interestingly if I eat late at night, I wake up really hungry.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also have rules for the sweets that I eat and high caloric drinks that I consume because the rules work for me, not because I am trying to “control my weight”. The rules I have developed over the years help me to look and feel better. I have learned that too much sugar makes me feel bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What rules have you created in your life that work for you and wouldn’t necessarily work for anyone else?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another area I just began exploring is around my Money Rules. I have never had money issues and I was wondering what rules I have in place that keep me from living paycheck to paycheck. Here are a few things I discovered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a paper route at the age of 10 so I got accustomed to having money at an early age and was able to spend it freely at the local candy store. My first rule of money was “I expect to have money.” &lt;br /&gt;My next rule around money came when I was in high school and I decided that I wanted a job/career that was high paying so I would never have to move back home. So rule number two is “I expect to have a high paying job”. (This one was really strong, so it might be considered more of a vow I created, but it works the same as a rule.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After I got married, my husband and I would each take about $50 a week for spending money and deposit the rest in the bank. On occasion we would do something out of the ordinary and we would be out of money before the next pay check. (This was long before ATM’s.) When this happened, I would catch myself saying “I don’t have any money.” Not a good statement to make if you understand that you get what you focus on and talk about. I made a “rule” to never be without money and always have a few hundred dollars in my purse and a few thousand dollars in my house, so I would never again use the statement “I don’t have any money.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you telling the Universe on a regular and consistent basis that you don’t have any money?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also have rules about paying bills as soon as they arrive. I pay credit cards off in full. I pay cash for cars and I don’t spend ever cent I make…I save money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Take some time to explore the rules you have set in place for your life. Are they truly your rules or someone else’s rules that don’t really support who you are?&lt;/strong&gt; If you want to be your ideal weight, you need Food Rules that work for you, not someone else. If you want control over your finances, you need to adopt Money Rules that work for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A client once asked me about how I paid my bills, once a month or as the came in. I pay them as they arrive. My client was told by an expert that she should pay them one time a month, but she was experiencing losing them and forgetting to pay them, so that rule wasn’t working for her. That would happen to me also if I didn’t pay them as they came in. I like my bills off my plate as soon as possible. That approach might not work for you, but only you know what will work for you to stay on track.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Explore the Food Rules and the Money Rules and notice what is working for you and what rules need to be changed.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-1389726891016796709?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/1389726891016796709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=1389726891016796709&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/1389726891016796709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/1389726891016796709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2011/07/rules-to-live-by.html' title='Rules to Live By'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-2856935159327363387</id><published>2011-05-23T18:08:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-23T18:08:27.609-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Articles by Kathy Atkinson'/><title type='text'>Time for a Name Change? by Kathy Atkinson</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Time for a Name Change? by Kathy Atkinson&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever contemplated changing your name? Does your current name reflect who you are or does it feel like it limits you in any way?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I once asked a friend why she kept her ex-husband’s last name instead of changing it back to her maiden name, especially since her marriage was an emotional drain on her that lasted many years. She explained to me that her childhood wasn’t much better and she didn’t want to take on, or take back, that old energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was thinking about this subject, I realized that over the years, I have met many people who have legally changed their names or unofficially adopted new names.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Typically, business owners and professionals avoid using their nicknames so they appear more professional and are considered an expert. Would you rather learn from Robert the expert or Bob? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A friend of mine named Sandy was going to run for political office a few years ago. She let everyone know in her inner circle that she wanted to be called “Sandra” during the campaign because she wanted to adopt a more professional persona. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An image consultant that I am friends with dropped his first name and began using his initials to evoke a more professional image. &lt;br /&gt;I frequently have clients adopt a “new persona” when they want to show up in their lives differently. This process can involve choosing a different name or more typically by adding the characteristic that they want to exhibit, such as “Connie the Confident”, “Lucky Larry” or “Mary the Magnificent Money Attractor”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We see branding personas on the internet all the time. From Ezine Queen, Video Marketing King, Article Marketing Expert to Money Guru. My EFT colleague Jan Luther calls herself “The Ego Tamer”. These names help to keep the business owner focused and on track regarding the information they want to share and also boosts the expert image they want to portrait to the public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you feeling stuck in your life or in your career? Would it be of value to you to adopt a name change, a new persona or a new branding identity at this point in your life?&lt;br /&gt;A colleague of mine recently changed just one letter in her name and immediately noticed a difference in her interactions and conversations with others. What change would you like to make? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Challenge&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actors play different roles all the time. Choose a different role to play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choose a name to reflect the image or persona that you want to convey. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adopt the new behaviors, beliefs and physical characteristics that correspond with your new persona…“Act the part.” &lt;br /&gt;Have fun showing up differently. Have fun “playing the part”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are not stuck in the same old, same old. Give yourself permission to be different. Give yourself permission to be your true self with a different name or different persona.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-2856935159327363387?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/2856935159327363387/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=2856935159327363387&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/2856935159327363387'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/2856935159327363387'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2011/05/time-for-name-change-by-kathy-atkinson.html' title='Time for a Name Change? by Kathy Atkinson'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-1565784734747663161</id><published>2011-05-14T14:48:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-14T14:48:09.121-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Articles by Kathy Atkinson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Abraham'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quote'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Law of Attraction'/><title type='text'>The Power of Why by Kathy Atkinson</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;                        &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;                   &lt;span id="role_document1869" style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;                   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span id="role_document1869" style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;                                     &lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;"&gt;                                     The Power of Why by Kathy Atkinson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;             &lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;“When you talk about &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;what&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;              you want and &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;why&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; you              want it, there's usually less resistance within you than when you              talk about &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;what&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; you              want and &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;how&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; you're              going to get it.

Do you want              to be more successful because you will feel more satisfied, more              fulfilled or happier? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;             &lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Knowing why you              want something activates the Law of Attraction and creates an              energetic alignment with your desires. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;             &lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;As Abraham mentions              in the quote, when you don’t have the answers to &lt;i&gt;how &lt;/i&gt;you are              going to make more money, &lt;i&gt;when&lt;/i&gt; it is going to show up or &lt;i&gt;             who&lt;/i&gt; is going to help you make it happen, your questions,              discomfort and disbelief slows down the manifesting process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;             &lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;I was working with              a client recently and she had the desire to make more money. I asked              her &lt;i&gt;how much&lt;/i&gt; money she wanted to make each month. I asked her             &lt;i&gt;why&lt;/i&gt; she wanted the money. I asked her about her resistance to              making that kind of money and she couldn’t see &lt;i&gt;how&lt;/i&gt; she could              make that much. Trying to figure out the &lt;i&gt;how’s&lt;/i&gt;, slows down              and can stop the manifesting process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;             &lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Whatever your goal              or desire, keep your focus on why you want it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;             &lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;"&gt;             Action Challenge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Decide                specifically what you want.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Write down                why you want it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Keep asking                “why do I want that” until you get to the feelings and emotions                you are looking to experience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Amp up the                feelings you want to experience everyday by reviewing your list of                “why I want it”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Notice when                you feel, hear or sense any resistance showing up. Listen for that                little voice that says, “How it that going to happen?” or “When is                it going to happen?” Remind yourself to just stay focused on why                you want it and what emotions you want to experience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Then take                inspired action toward your goal or desire while you keep your                focus on WHY you want it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/span&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-1565784734747663161?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/1565784734747663161/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=1565784734747663161&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/1565784734747663161'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/1565784734747663161'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2011/05/power-of-why-by-kathy-atkinson.html' title='The Power of Why by Kathy Atkinson'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-4598521811080920610</id><published>2011-05-14T14:21:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-14T14:21:42.549-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Personal Mastery Readings with Deb DeLisi</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;          Recently I had a reading with Deb DeLisi which included an intuitive sketch.

She                works with you personally, one-on-one, and offer words of clarity.                The guidance is channeled from a group of energies that give the                name “Keepers of the Dream”. This group that comes forward is a                unique collective of energies, specific for each person.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #1f27cf;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Deb's                readings also include a sketched symbol which is revealed                intuitively during or immediately after the session. This symbol                provides meaning, focus and support for you, and includes an                interpretation and how to use it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #1f27cf; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;; margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;               &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #1f27cf;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;               Sessions are done over the phone, and last about 30 minutes.

Away from the distractions of laundry, dishes, children and a husband, she is able to be really productive.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a conversation with a client recently around her resistance to spending time writing down her “ideal life” experience. When she gets home from work, she is too tired and drained to attempt such a creative activity. On the weekends, like everyone else, she has to take care of the typical shopping and cleaning activities, so there never seems to be time. We discussed the possibility of her going to a hotel, a bed and breakfast or perhaps a spa in order to get her away from her usual surroundings and activate her creative thinking. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It can be difficult to explore new ideas and get work accomplished when you are in your usual environment. It is hard to be creative when laundry is piling up, there are dishes to be done and dust balls to chase after.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you get away from your regular environment and remove the normal distractions, you open yourself up to new energy, new thoughts, new ideas and amazing productivity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When was the last time you purposely spent a significant amount of time alone, in a new environment, with the intention to activate some creative thinking? Can’t remember? Never?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many people have a special place in their home that is dedicated to meditation, journaling or creative thinking, but it is still helpful to get out of your usual environment in order to active something new and different on occasion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few years ago, I wrote at least ten new EFT tapping scripts one night in my hotel room after attending a daytime workshop event. Without all the usual distractions, I was able to tap into a creative energy flow that was fun and easy to achieve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you remember a time when you had a similar experience?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting out in nature is a great way to free up your creative thinking mind, but the weather doesn’t always cooperate. I suggested to a client living in a major city that she seek out a museum with a quiet secluded sitting area as a possible escape from the same old energy. A local library might work also if you aren’t easily distracted by others in the room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Albert Einstein said, “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” A fresh, new or different environment can get you out of the same old thinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Action Challenge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to change something in your life and it hasn’t happened yet, make a commitment to schedule a get-away with the intention of activating some new thoughts, ideas and action steps to take.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A hotel room may be out of your budget, but perhaps you can go to a friend’s house and lock yourself in their guest room for a few hours. Be creative and come up with a fun get-away for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, you can’t hear what your heart is telling you unless you take the time to remove distractions, get quiet and listen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To your success,&lt;br /&gt;Kathy Atkinson&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-2513682548576989393?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/2513682548576989393/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=2513682548576989393&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/2513682548576989393'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/2513682548576989393'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2011/02/time-for-get-way.html' title='Time for a Get-A-Way?'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-3161346100744878580</id><published>2010-12-10T08:43:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2010-12-10T08:51:58.484-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Abraham'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quote'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><title type='text'>Abraham Quote - FEEL Healthy, Vital, Alive &amp; Prosperous</title><content type='html'>You will notice that those who speak most of prosperity, have it. Those who speak most of health, have it. Those who speak most of sickness, have it. Those who speak most of poverty, have it. It is Law. It can be no other way... The way you feel is your point of attraction, and so, the Law of Attraction is most understood when you see yourself as a magnet getting more and more of the way you feel. When you feel lonely, you attract more loneliness. When you feel poor, you attract more poverty. When you feel sick, you attract more sickness. When you feel unhappy, you attract more unhappiness. When you feel healthy and vital and alive and prosperous—you attract more of all of those things.&lt;br /&gt;--- Abraham&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpted from "The Law of Attraction, The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham" #64 - Jerry and Esther Hicks&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-3161346100744878580?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/3161346100744878580/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=3161346100744878580&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/3161346100744878580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/3161346100744878580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2010/12/abraham-quote-feel-healthy-vital-alive.html' title='Abraham Quote - FEEL Healthy, Vital, Alive &amp; Prosperous'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-5431872086037518715</id><published>2010-11-01T14:22:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2010-11-01T15:10:17.844-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video'/><title type='text'>Simply Raw Video Series - A Must See if You Care About Your Health</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Remember the film, “Super Size Me”?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know the one where a guy in New York city (Morgan Spurlock) decided to eat nothing but McDonald’s for 30 days?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was funny, educational and took the world by storm with it’s powerful message about the fast food industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the film Morgan showed what happens if you eat terrible food for 30 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I want to share with you an exclusive, behind the scenes video interview with Morgan Spurlock that I think is critically important for you to watch for one specific reason…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I keep noticing people telling me that they want to get results in their life but that they don't have the energy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I keep noticing one key component that people aren't focusing enough on that has helped me get results in my life…and that's having an exceptional level of health and vitality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I want you to ask yourself… &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would your life be like if you had double the level of energy that you have right now?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What could you achieve that you're not achieving right now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to find out then I highly recommend you watch this video now. &lt;a href="http://www.rawfor30days.com/cmd.php?Clk=3979046"&gt;Click here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This video is part of an amazing 100% fr*ee video series that also includes Dr. Joel Fuhrman, raw food expert David Wolfe and Mike Adams that is being released for a limited time only. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The video series is being released by the makers of the film "Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days," a film that was essentially the opposite of Morgan's film (eating good food for 30 days instead of bad food), and is getting amazing reviews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're struggling with any health issues or if you'd just like to know how to drastically improve the level of health, energy and vitality that you have on a daily basis then I highly recommend you watch this video.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, I don't think there's a single person who couldn't benefit from watching these videos.

It is not &lt;em&gt;Take Motivated Action&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What’s the difference? Here is a great analogy from a post on Jason Caldarera’s blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"To explain the difference I use an analogy of mowing your lawn. Motivation is like using a push mower. To motivate the lawnmower, you must get behind it and push. If you stop pushing, the lawnmower stops going. To get it to go again, you must push again. At the end, the lawn is mown and looks great, but you are tired, sweating and putting off mowing again as long as you can. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inspiration is like using a self propelled lawnmower. The lawnmower knows its job and self propelled to finish it. At the end, the lawn is mowed, looks great and you aren’t tired. You’re ready for something else and you don’t dread the next time you have to cut your grass."&lt;/em&gt; Jason Caldarera&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you motivated to get into shape because your doctor says you’re at risk for heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes? Or, are you inspired to get into shape because you value your health and well-being?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Motivation typically comes from fear or trying to push against something. Motivation feels like something you have to do and is dictated from outside yourself. “I have to go to work in order to pay my mortgage.” “I have to lose weight so I don’t get heart disease.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inspiration pulls you forward and comes from comes from within. Inspiration is something you want to do and something that connects you with the creative energy of the universe, and your Higher Self. “I want to work out today, so that I feel energized and alive.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Motivation makes you work just hard enough not to get fired. Inspiration makes you work hard enough to fire your boss.”&lt;/em&gt; Mark Gubua&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you living an inspired life or a motivated life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pay attention to the actions that you take today. Are they actions you feel like you have to take or you want to take?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inspired people change themselves and change the world. Motivated people work really hard and burnout quickly. Which do you choose?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-2768241725232283612?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/2768241725232283612/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=2768241725232283612&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/2768241725232283612'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/2768241725232283612'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2010/08/motivation-vs-inspiration.html' title='Motivation vs Inspiration'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-2184025770924920463</id><published>2010-06-30T19:34:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-30T19:42:50.712-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quote'/><title type='text'>Jim Rohn Quote - Who is Influencing You?</title><content type='html'>"You must constantly ask yourself these questions: &lt;br /&gt;Who am I around? &lt;br /&gt;What are they doing to me? &lt;br /&gt;What have they got me reading? &lt;br /&gt;What have they got me saying? &lt;br /&gt;Where do they have me going? &lt;br /&gt;What do they have me thinking? &lt;br /&gt;And most important, what do they have me becoming? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then ask yourself the big question: &lt;strong&gt;Is that okay?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jim Rohn&lt;br /&gt;1930-2009, Author and Speaker&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-2184025770924920463?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/2184025770924920463/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=2184025770924920463&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/2184025770924920463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/2184025770924920463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2010/06/jim-rohn-quote-who-is-influencing-you.html' title='Jim Rohn Quote - Who is Influencing You?'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-2118282205193423952</id><published>2010-06-24T19:52:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-24T20:13:04.320-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Articles by Kathy Atkinson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stress'/><title type='text'>Quiet Please!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a name="Article"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quiet Please!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“We need quiet time to examine our lives openly and honestly. . . spending quiet time alone gives your mind an opportunity to renew itself and create order.”&lt;/em&gt; Susan L. Taylor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The warmer temperatures have me jogging outside again. (During inclement weather, I use the treadmill in my living room to keep me fit.) One perfect spring day, during my morning run, I re-discovered the importance of quiet time. When I am on the treadmill, I am either reading, watching a video, listening to an audio program or watching TV. Sometimes I am doing two of those activities at the same time. After a long cold winter inside, I was reminded of how nice it is to be out in nature, alone with myself and alone with my thoughts. Creative ideas were flowing easily and I was enjoying the quiet. No cell phone, no internet, no email, no books, no TV, just fresh air, sunshine and the sounds of nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How noisy has your life become? Is the TV always on? Is music always playing in the car? Is your cell phone ringing constantly or is someone always texting you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since that spring morning when I re-discovered the importance of quiet time, I have been turning off the car radio. I have been keeping the TV off unless I am actually watching a program. I have been enjoying 5-10 minutes of quiet time first thing in the morning before I get out of bed. And, at night, I close my book, shut off the light and take 5-10 minutes to enjoy the peace and quiet before I drift off to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it time for you to make some changes in your schedule and include times of quiet and solitude?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are some benefits of including quiet time into your day.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stress diminishes&lt;br /&gt;Pain subsides&lt;br /&gt;Blood pressure lowers&lt;br /&gt;Focus improves&lt;br /&gt;Mood is elevated&lt;br /&gt;Memory becomes sharper&lt;br /&gt;Creativity is sparked&lt;br /&gt;Intuition is enhanced&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can’t hear our great ideas and solutions to problems if we don’t take time to get quiet and listen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ways to enjoy some quiet time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Meditation&lt;br /&gt;Sitting quietly for 5-10 minutes&lt;br /&gt;1-2 minutes of deep breathing with eyes closed&lt;br /&gt;Walks in nature&lt;br /&gt;No music car rides&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you need a “quiet break” at work and can’t get away from your desk, keep a calming and relaxing picture of nature on your desk or as your computer screen background. Focus on the picture for a few minutes while doing some deep breathing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been so much more relaxed and balanced since I have been turning off the noise and eliminating much of my multi-tasking. Try “turning down the noise” in your life by incorporating some simple changes and see if it makes a difference for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;"My intuition never fails me, it is I who fail when I do not listen to it."&lt;/em&gt;   --Sufi Mystic Hazrat Inayat Khan&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-2118282205193423952?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/2118282205193423952/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=2118282205193423952&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/2118282205193423952'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/2118282205193423952'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2010/06/quiet-please.html' title='Quiet Please!'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-6089748691952088653</id><published>2010-06-21T18:35:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-21T18:35:12.026-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Brian Tracy: If You Could Achieve One Goal in 24 Hours</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="background-image: url(&amp;quot;http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/2iDbs3vh6KM/hqdefault.jpg&amp;quot;);" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2iDbs3vh6KM&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2iDbs3vh6KM&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-6089748691952088653?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/6089748691952088653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=6089748691952088653&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/6089748691952088653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/6089748691952088653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2010/06/brian-tracy-if-you-could-achieve-one.html' title='Brian Tracy: If You Could Achieve One Goal in 24 Hours'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-3707940549013594157</id><published>2010-06-12T07:59:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-12T08:08:35.295-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Abraham'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quote'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Law of Attraction'/><title type='text'>Abraham Quote on Allowing</title><content type='html'>We would like you to release the word "achieve" or "earn" from your vocabulary and from your understanding, altogether, and we would like you to replace those words with the word "allow".

Try giving appreciation to everything you see, touch, taste, smell and hear for one day. One day, all day long, see if you can do it! This little practice is one of the most effective ways to becoming the master of your destiny. When you are in a constant state of gratitude you are communicating with the Universe from your higher mind, which allows you to be guided to receive your soul's dream life!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Understand the obstructions you are putting in the way of love, freedom, and happiness and they will drop. Turn on the light of awareness and the darkness will disappear. Happiness is not something you acquire; love is not something you produce; love is not something you have; love is something that has you."&lt;/em&gt; ~Anthony de Mello&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being in a constant state of appreciation is the ultimate goal of life. If you are challenged in the gratitude department you're not alone. Many don't know the secret to this ideal experience. It's like finding a diamond filled gold mine! First start paying attention to whatever the little things you don't appreciate at all. Find that which you are honestly thankful for and return to that thought and feeling as often as possible. Make a game of it! See how many times in a 5 minutes you can crank up your Gratitude Barometer and re-ignite that blissful state inside. Whenever you find that honest appreciation feeling for anything, or anyone, stay connected with it and within it. Soon it will grow and evolve into a habit of gratitude that includes even those things you never imagined you could ever possibly appreciate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"The richest person is the one who is contented with what he has."&lt;/em&gt; ~Robert C. Savage&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you take the risk to appreciate what your mind cannot appreciate, an awesome expansive feeling begins building within your being. Whatever it is you've been in the pattern of not appreciating can and will be reversed. Perhaps you used to complain about the government, your spouse, her hair, his clothes, and lack of money you have in the bank. Then your cranky neighbor angrily came over and forced you to mow your lawn, would you be hard on yourself? It's always your choice. Whatever situation it is, there is a potential seed of acceptance within it. By first finding that grain of acceptance inside yourself, you will harness a new way of experiencing the outer world and a whole new dimension of consciousness becomes available. When you appreciate that which everyone cannot, you step beyo nd the collective "sheeple" mind into a realm of knowing that anything is possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"To be upset over what you don’t have, is to waste what you do have."&lt;/em&gt; ~Ken Keyes JR.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try this exercise tomorrow morning. When you wake up and look in the mirror at yourself, take a few extra minutes to practice just looking and accepting what you see and feel. Just be OK with whatever your mind interprets, judges and projects onto that mirror image. Practice accepting your looks, your personality and your life just as they are. Remember, what you see with your mind is filtered through your imagination. Not everyone sees you the way you see you, we know your ideas aren't always going to reflect the real you. The real you, the infinite you is the soul that lives behind your eyes beyond the consciousness of the heart. Just practice appreciation first and approval will come later. Eventually in time you will totally accept what is here, on the inside and outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you should ever feel off track, get overly upset about something, or simply trapped down in the dumpsters of your life, you are simply not focusing your attention upon what you appreciate. The most orgasmic energies in the Universe are available right there, right here, inside you now. Don't wait for them! It’s just about opening yourself up to experiencing them. It's a way of being with yourself, others and the Universe. Always noticing what you love about yourself takes practice to become a habit. The first nurturing, healing-feeling you can muster will grow stronger in you, when you make time to enjoy it. Let this new heartfelt channel of energy be the #1 focus of your day and watch in amazement as it blossoms throughout your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"The ordinary man lives in the brain unaware of himself in the Heart. The enlightened one lives in the Heart. When he moves about and deals with people and things, he knows that what he sees is not separate from the one Supreme Reality which he realized in the Heart as his own Self."&lt;/em&gt; ~Ramana&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The secret to mastering anything in your life is in how much FUN you can have within your experience. The vibration of appreciation is so enjoyable and contagious that it will change you and everyone's lives around you! The heartfelt feeling of gratitude contains magical seeds that plant the most enlightening, loving, delightful experiences to enjoy!! You plant one seed of appreciation with your spouse today, and before you know it you'll harvest the sweet fruit. By planting 100 seeds of gratitude a day you'll have an abundant fortunate future indeed. I challenge you to live your life believing that there is NOTHING that you cannot appreciate. Let's see how creative you are. If you can appreciate something that you've NEVER ever been able to appreciate you'll be one step closer to becoming an appreciation master.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Add a Super Booster Rocket to breakthrough your consciousness with our NEW Manifesting Technology!

There is never a "good time" for something to break down, but I have noticed that the Universe is still working in my favor even when unwanted things happen in my life. Let me explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I noticed the problem with the refrigerator, it was still relatively cold in the refrigerator and freezer compartment, so we didn't have to throw out any of the food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The local Lowe's store was open until 9 pm, so we had plenty of time to purchase a new one (I noticed the problem about 7 pm).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The designated area for the refrigerator in our kitchen is a specific size, so we were limited to only a couple of choices in the store. The benefit of that...I didn't have to agonize over which model to choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sales person we interacted with was very helpful and went out of his way to re-arrange the delivery schedule and put us first on the list on Friday morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was cold enough outside to put all the food on the patio over night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The delivery men arrived on Friday morning at 8:15 AM and were gone by 8:30.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a little over 12 hours, I had a new refrigerator without much disruption in my life. It certainly wasn’t something that I wanted or planned for, but whether we like it or not, stuff is going to happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you have unwanted things happen in your life are you able to look for the gifts and blessings within the experience?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is another example. A few years ago, I was driving down one of the main four-lane roads in my local town. As I was coming to a stop at a stoplight, my brakes felt like they were slipping and not working properly. Very scary! What's the gift and blessing in that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When this happened, there weren't any other cars around me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was actually heading in the direction of the car dealer where I had purchased my vehicle and I was only about a half mile away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My husband was home that day and was able to pick me immediate, so I didn't have to wait at the dealership for the brakes to be fixed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, I was very “lucky” to have my brakes fail at that time and in that location.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is an example that happened to my daughter and son-in-law just last week. I was visiting on a Friday evening and enjoying the grandkids. Typically my son-in-law would be at work (he works the 3-11pm shift), but he happened to take the day off to get some work done around their house. Around 8 pm, my daughter noticed a hot, burning smell in their mud room. My son-in-law did some investigation and discovered their furnace wasn’t working. Not a good thing when the temperature outside is in the teens and they have two small children. They have never had furnace problems in the past, so they didn’t have anyone in mind to contact. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My son-in-law consulted the phone book. It turned out that there was a listing for someone that lived just down the road. The repair man was able to come right over and within 10 minutes had diagnosed the problem. A quick trip back to his shop to get a part and by 9 pm the furnace was back up and running.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again not the ideal situation to transpire, but how fortunate that it happened in the early evening, that my son-in-law was home, the repair man live just down the road and the fix was quick and simple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stuff is going to happen in our lives. Some of it unwanted, annoying and costly. Pushing against it and feeling like a victim can set you up for an even more uncomfortable situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An underlying intention for my life is for health, safety and well-being, so I trust the Universe to support me when things break down. I never ask -&lt;em&gt; Why me? Why now?&lt;/em&gt; I move in to the action mode and expect the Universe to put me on the path that is the easy fix and easy solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Challenge&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next time something unwanted happens in your life; see if you can identify the gifts and the blessings in the situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a clear intention to be supported by the Universe at all times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump into the pro-active mode as quickly as possible when something unwanted happens. Don’t waste time questioning why something is happening and why it is happening to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are better times and worst times for things to happen. Get into the flow of divine perfect timing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-578445406873108507?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/578445406873108507/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=578445406873108507&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/578445406873108507'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/578445406873108507'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2010/03/stuff-is-going-to-happen.html' title='Stuff is Going to Happen'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-3922939493636130092</id><published>2010-01-29T20:42:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-29T20:43:28.263-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Abraham'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quote'/><title type='text'>Abraham Quote - Get Happy!</title><content type='html'>Everything that I think that I need to do is all only in order to propel me to some place that when I get there, I think I will be happier.

Bristol recently. This book is a classic being published in 1948. One of the chapters in this book is titled, &lt;em&gt;The Mirror Technique for Releasing the Subconscious&lt;/em&gt;. Mirror work is very useful for helping you manifest anything that you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Get the picture of what you want and keep telling yourself that you’re going to get it.”&lt;/em&gt; page 97&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to manifest what you want, you must convince yourself that you really want what you desire and you really deserve to have what you desire. One way to do that is by looking deep into your eyes and declaring it so. I have summarized the steps to using the mirror technique outlined in the book below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Mirror Technique&lt;/strong&gt; - page 107&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stand in front of a mirror that you can see yourself from the waist up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come to attention – stand fully erect, bring your heels together, pull in your stomach, keep your chest out and your head up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breathe deeply three to four times until you feel a sense of power, strength, and determination.&lt;br /&gt;Look into the very depths of your eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tell yourself that you are going to get what you want – name it aloud, so you can see your lips moving and you can hear the words uttered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make a regular ritual of it, practice doing it at least twice a day, mornings and evenings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can augment this by writing with soap on the face of the mirror any slogans or key words you wish, so long as they are the key to what you have previously visualized and want to see in reality. (I would also suggest using post-it notes.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;Here is a suggestion from Tecca in Ohio... &lt;em&gt;instead of soap or post it notes.....using a wipe board marker on the mirror works wonderful and it comes off easy. I do this a lot. Plus you can use colors too.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Within a few days you will have developed a sense of confidence that you never realized you could build within yourself.”&lt;/em&gt; Page 108&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Additional Suggestions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep a mirror on your desk and declare what you desire once every hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use the mirror in your car to declare what you desire at every stop light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each time you use the restroom, shower or brush your teeth declare what you desire in the mirror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Remember…&lt;/strong&gt;Where your attention goes, energy flows, so keep your eyes on the prize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Additional resource...&lt;/strong&gt;If you are hearing or feeling a lot of resistance when you are looking into your eyes, I wrote an EFT tip for using the mirror to enhance your EFT sessions. &lt;a title="http://eft-tips.blogspot.com/2006/06/eft-tip-mirror-work.html" href="http://eft-tips.blogspot.com/2006/06/eft-tip-mirror-work.html"&gt;Read the article.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-8643419718135217218?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/8643419718135217218/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=8643419718135217218&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/8643419718135217218'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/8643419718135217218'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2009/10/mirror-technique-from-magic-of.html' title='The Mirror Technique from The Magic of Believing'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-8339351678850594252</id><published>2009-09-08T20:37:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-08T20:39:34.474-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Abraham'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quote'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Law of Attraction'/><title type='text'>Abraham - Law of Attraction Quote</title><content type='html'>Every cell in your body has a direct relationship with Creative Life Force, and each cell is independently responding. When you feel joy, all the circuits are open and the Life Force or God Force can be fully received. When you feel guilt or blame or fear or anger, the circuits are hindered and the Life Force cannot flow as effectively. Physical experience is about monitoring those circuits and keeping them as open as possible. The cells know what to do.

You've probably heard it or read it before, but it is worth posting in a prominent place where you can read it on a regular basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Story&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bob wrote this story after watching a father and daughter say goodbye at an airport. Although the story resonates in the hearts of millions who have had to face similar such moments in their lives, the true message in this story comes in the "Seven Wishes." With permission from the author, those words have been read at graduations, weddings, funerals, awards ceremonies and even engraved on a grave stone. His book will be released in November of 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"I Wish You Enough!"© By Bob Perks&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never really thought that I'd spend as much time in airports as I do. I don't know why. I always wanted to be famous and that would mean lots of travel. But I'm not famous, yet I do see more than my share of airports.I love them and I hate them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love them because of the people I get to watch. But they are also the same reason why I hate airports. It all comes down to "hello" and "goodbye. "I must have mentioned this a few times while writing my stories for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have great difficulties with saying goodbye. Even as I write this I am experiencing that pounding sensation in my heart. If I am watching such a scene in a movie I am affected so much that I need to sit up and take a few deep breaths. So when faced with a challenge in my life I have been known to go to our local airport and watch people say goodbye. I figure nothing that is happening to me at the time could be as bad as having to say goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watching people cling to each other, crying, and holding each other in that last embrace makes me appreciate what I have even more. Seeing them finally pull apart, extending their arms until the tips of their fingers are the last to let go, is an image that stays forefront in my mind throughout the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On one of my recent business trips, when I arrived at the counter to check in, the woman said, "How are you today?" I replied, "I am missing my wife already and I haven't even said goodbye."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She then looked at my ticket and began to ask, "How long will you...Oh, my God. You will only be gone three days!" We all laughed. My problem was I still had to say goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I learn from goodbye moments, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They had announced her departure and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, "I love you. I wish you enough."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She in turn said, "Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They kissed and she left. He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say goodbye to someone knowing it would be forever?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, I have," I replied. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I knew what this man experiencing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever goodbye?" I asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is, the next trip back would be for my funeral," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When you were saying goodbye I heard you say, "I wish you enough." May I ask what that means?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." He paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled even more. "When we said 'I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them," he continued and then turning toward me he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.&lt;br /&gt;I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.&lt;br /&gt;I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.&lt;br /&gt;I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.&lt;br /&gt;I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.&lt;br /&gt;I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.&lt;br /&gt;I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He then began to sob and walked away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friends, I wish you enough!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bob Perks&lt;br /&gt;Write to Bob Perks, P.O.

Get use to acting outside the box."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are looking to become what Ferriss has termed the "new rich", I highly recommend this book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check it out on Amazon: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307353133?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=creativelifec-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0307353133"&gt;The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; MARGIN: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" height="1" alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=creativelifec-20&amp;amp;l=as2&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=0307353133" width="1" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-107816419463286631?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/107816419463286631/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=107816419463286631&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/107816419463286631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/107816419463286631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2008/10/4-hour-workweek-by-timothy-ferriss.html' title='The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/SQJPNHWGVgI/AAAAAAAAADU/xwpwzqRIHFs/s72-c/51FSaZaVA3L._SL160_.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-4786482883845672599</id><published>2008-10-17T16:48:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-17T16:59:41.019-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Abraham'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Law of Attraction'/><title type='text'>Abraham on the World Financial Crisis</title><content type='html'>Jerry and Esther Hicks posted a You Tube video answering Jerry's question to Abraham about the current enconomic crisis.

Peters&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you have to celebrate?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is going right in your life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How much time do you spend focused on your successes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;According to the Law of Attraction, what you give your attention to is active in your experience. What you focus on expands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are beating yourself up for what you haven’t accomplished, the Universe will bring you more reasons to beat yourself up. If you focus on your successes and focus on what you have to celebrate, the Universe will bring you more experiences worth celebrating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I make it a daily practice to notice what I have to celebrate. Many success coaches and self-help gurus stress keeping a gratitude journal, which is along the same lines, but I found for myself that looking for things to celebrate makes the process more fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There are several ways to incorporate this activity into your life.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Before you get out of bed in the morning, you can run through a list of things you have to celebrate. It can be a written list or a mental list that you review. This is a great way begin your day in a positive frame of mind and to set yourself up for success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Throughout the day, you can notice and celebrate the little kindnesses you do for yourself. Celebrate the time you take to make yourself a cup of tea, celebrate the nice hot shower that you enjoy each morning or celebrate the great book you are reading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. At the end of the day, or right before going to bed, you can make list of all the things you have to celebrate. This will help you settle into your sleep time in a high and positive mental mindset. (Stay away from the nightly news that focuses on all the negative things happening in our world.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. You can run through your celebration list when you are exercising at the gym, running on the treadmill or walking outside in nature. Focusing on things you have to celebrate, while moving your body, helps to pass the time and probably helps release even more “feel good” endorphins naturally released during exercise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Celebrating your life and your successes is great activity to play with your children or spouse. Make it a dinnertime ritual. Give everyone at the table an opportunity to mention something they have to celebrate. This activity will help make mealtime a no whining and complaining zone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. If you are a visual person, purchase a poster board and commit to adding 10 statements or pictures of the things you have to celebrate each day. Even better, add pictures of the things you want to manifest and experience, and celebrate having them before they come into your experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. You can also invite one friend or several friends to join together and commit to sharing your celebration stories with each other on a daily or weekly basis. I belonged to a group that had “Brag Time”, where members were encouraged to stand up and share anything they had to celebrate. Create your own “Bragging” group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you think of any other ways to celebrate your life using this activity?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you need help getting started, here are some questions to ask yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Body – Health - Fitness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;What do I have to celebrate related to my body?&lt;br /&gt;What physical features do I have worth celebrating?&lt;br /&gt;Which aspects of my health are worth focusing on and celebrating?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Career – Job – Professional Life&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;What do I have to celebrate related to my career?&lt;br /&gt;What professional traits and characteristic do I possess worth celebrating?&lt;br /&gt;What have I accomplished at work that is special and unique to me, and worth celebrating?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Relationships – Partner – Family – Friends – Co-workers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do I have to celebrate related to my spouse?&lt;br /&gt;What do I have to celebrate related to my family?&lt;br /&gt;What do I have to celebrate related the friends I have in my life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Environment – Home – Work - Outdoors&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;What in my home environment is worth celebrating?&lt;br /&gt;What is my work environment is worth celebrating?&lt;br /&gt;What in my outside environment is worth celebrating?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Personal Successes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What have I accomplished worth celebrating?&lt;br /&gt;What I have learned worth celebrating?&lt;br /&gt;What have I shared with others worth celebrating?&lt;br /&gt;What are the little things I do for myself that are worth celebrating?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;General&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;What did I eat today that was delicious?&lt;br /&gt;What did I see that was beautiful?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Challenge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The list of things you can find to celebrate is endless. Challenge yourself to create a list of 50, 100 or 200 items worth celebrating. Commit to using this activity for the next two weeks and see if you can activate the Law of Attraction in your favor. See how fast you can multiply more things in your life to celebrate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.”&lt;/em&gt; Oprah Winfrey&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copyright 2008, Creative Life Coaching&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-5831561811826971425?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/5831561811826971425/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=5831561811826971425&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/5831561811826971425'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/5831561811826971425'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2008/09/celebrate.html' title='Celebrate'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-1536952151802593377</id><published>2008-09-29T14:42:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-29T14:58:18.455-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Articles by Kathy Atkinson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clutter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Energy Shifting Exercise'/><title type='text'>Clearing Out the Clutter</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clearing Out the Clutter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;by Kathy Atkinson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summer is over. Did you managed to take care of your “clearing out the clutter” projects? If not, there is no better time than the present, so here are some suggestions and guidelines to help make the process easier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you are clearing out the clutter, ask yourself:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Is this item useful?&lt;br /&gt;     Is this item beautiful to look at?&lt;br /&gt;     Do I love having this item in my environment?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the item is useful, ask yourself: When was the last time I used this? When do I anticipate using this in the future? If the item is useful, but you have no real plans to use the item, maybe it is time to let it go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the item you are looking at isn’t useful, why do you have it? Does the item add to the beauty of you home or do you just enjoy having it around? Does the item have some special meaning?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the item adds to your sense of comfort and well-being, keep it around. If the item was given to you by someone you love and you love having it around, keep the item.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be honest with yourself about why you have certain things in your life. Are you keeping things because you think you may use them someday or because your sister gave it to you and you would feel guilty getting rid of it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use it, enjoy it or get rid of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are other questions to contemplate:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Why do you have clothes in three different sizes?&lt;br /&gt;Why do you have ripped, torn or stained clothes?&lt;br /&gt;Why are you keeping broken items?&lt;br /&gt;What are you keeping just because it was expensive?&lt;br /&gt;What are you afraid will happen if you get rid of the things you aren’t using?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are some consequences of living in a cluttered environment:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;You feel tired – Clutter is a visual and psychological drain on your energy.&lt;br /&gt;You feel hopeless – Having too much stuff is overwhelming. &lt;br /&gt;You feel out of control - It feels like the clutter has taken over.&lt;br /&gt;You feel stuck – Being surrounded by too much clutter prevents you from feeling free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are the benefits of living in an organized and clutter-free environment:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;You feel relaxed.&lt;br /&gt;You feel organized and empowered.&lt;br /&gt;You feel in control of your life and your environment.&lt;br /&gt;You feel free to move forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Challenge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schedule a time to clear out the clutter.&lt;br /&gt;Be firm with yourself and stick to keeping only the items that are useful, beautiful or loved.&lt;br /&gt;Get rid of the rest. Commit to sell it, give it away or throw it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus Challenge&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clear out the mental clutter. Commit to changing your negative thoughts and limiting beliefs that prevent you from being the best you can be.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-1536952151802593377?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/1536952151802593377/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=1536952151802593377&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/1536952151802593377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/1536952151802593377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2008/09/clearing-out-clutter.html' title='Clearing Out the Clutter'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-7841717748521283292</id><published>2008-09-14T08:02:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-14T09:09:25.720-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success Tips'/><title type='text'>Social Networking is all the rage</title><content type='html'>I invited you to become "friends" with me on the social networking sites that are all the rage these days.

(see the information below regarding the power of 8 and 888)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the call, we will be using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to address four different areas where people typically settle for less than they need and want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Relationships&lt;br /&gt;Career&lt;br /&gt;Health&lt;br /&gt;Money&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will instill a new mindset allowing you to comfortably be, do or have anything and everything that is important to you in these areas or any others. (To me, prosperity stands for abundance in all areas of my life.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who should attend:&lt;/strong&gt; The teleclass is perfect for you if you are tired of seeing the same old pattern of settling for less than you need and desire playing out time after time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisite:&lt;/strong&gt; Familiarity with EFT – I will not be giving an overview of EFT. Please familiarize yourself with EFT by visiting the FAQ page on &lt;a href="http://www.eft-downloads.com/"&gt;http://www.eft-downloads.com/&lt;/a&gt; and downloading the free EFT for Anxiety Relief session.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date:&lt;/strong&gt; Friday, August 8, 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time:&lt;/strong&gt; 12 noon eastern (11 am central, 10 am mountain, 9 am pacific)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Duration:&lt;/strong&gt; 80 minutes (more or less)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fee:&lt;/strong&gt; $35&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus material included:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EFT script for Settling for Less - $7 value&lt;br /&gt;Recording of the call&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thanks to all that attended this fun and interactive class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is some of the information I have gathered regarding the significance of the number 8 and 888.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From Doreen Virtue&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;888 - A phase of your life is about to end, and this is a sign to give you forewarning to prepare. This number sequence may mean you are winding up an emotional, career, or relationship phase. It also means there is light at the end of the tunnel. In addition, it means, "The crops are ripe. Don't wait to pick and enjoy them." In other words, don't procrastinate making your move or enjoying fruits of your labor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From Spiritual-path.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Number 8 - Achievement, abundance, executive, strength, self-disciplined, power, success, authority, psychology, entrepreneur, intensity, supervisor, provider, grandeur, material manifestor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From Wikipedia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;888 -- Three times the prosperity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From Commwire.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the United States Government recognizes the power and significance and the luck and fortune that the number 8 can bring. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing -- the government agency that prints our paper money -- has set aside various $1 and $5 and even $20 bills that contain numerous eights in the serial numbers. These have been sold to collectors by the BEP as "prosperity notes" or "lucky notes." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-7885347507921667393?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/7885347507921667393/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=7885347507921667393&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/7885347507921667393'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/7885347507921667393'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2008/07/stop-settling-for-less-allow-yourself.html' title='Stop Settling for Less Teleclass'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-9058753980409911739</id><published>2008-07-18T08:39:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-18T08:58:04.348-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Articles by other authors'/><title type='text'>6 Powerful Ways to Boost Your Motivation by Arina Nikitina</title><content type='html'>I recently became acquainted with Arina Nikitina. In this article she offers some great suggestions on how to keep your energy amped up to achieve your goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy, Kathy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6 Powerful Ways to Boost Your Motivation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever found it hard to complete a task that needed to be done? Have you ever found yourself willingly procrastinating? Have you ever failed to achieve a certain goal that you had in mind?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these are just “side effects” of one true cause – lack of motivation. Motivation is that inner force that drives and directs your actions towards achieving a certain goal, determines your effort, and keeps you going even when things get difficult.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Motivation gives you the burning reason “WHY” you want to do something. Without it accomplishing your goals becomes almost impossible. Every little problem, every little negative comment, every tiny obstacle in your way could be enough to stop you from pursuing what you truly desire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weak desire creates weak motivation. Weak motivation creates weak results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to boost your motivation, the first thing you need to do is to give yourself a strong reason for achieving your goal or getting a certain task done. Here are some great ways to boost weak motivation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Let us start with the "WHY"... Take a piece of paper and write down at least 21 reason why you want to achieve your goal and what benefits you will get after accomplishing it. Whenever you feel down, tired or upset simply, re-read your list. Recalling all the benefits will help you to stay focused on your goal/task and to prevent you from procrastinating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Positive affirmations are powerful statements, meant to be repeated many times, in order to help us concentrate and describe the desired result. Without even realizing it, most of us put ourselves down for any little mistake we make.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We repeat in our minds negative phrases and statements concerning the situations, life events, and other people. We believe that we are not talented/smart/determined/worthy enough, because we are constantly comparing ourselves with others. We keep telling ourselves that we can not do something or that if we try, we are going to fail. All this negative self-talk, negatively affects our life, preventing us from taking risks and striving for more in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Positive affirmations help to transform our negative beliefs into positive ones, increase self-esteem and motivation. Positive affirmations are most powerful if stated in positive, present tense, first person. For example, “I am a successful and happy person” is a much better than “I am not a failure”. It is important to repeat your affirmations first thing in the morning, before going to bed and any time you feel that you need a positive energy boost. Whenever you read your positive statement, make sure that you do it with conviction, attention and desire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Reading success stories of other people is another great way to increase your motivation, whenever you start doubting yourself. If you read a story of almost any successful person, you will see that before they achieved stellar success, these people were no different from me or you. In fact a lot of them started with less money, connections, support than you have right now. If they can do it, you can do it too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Little motivational things work miracles in helping us to stay focused on our goal and to increase motivation. Surround yourself with these little things! Put a motivational picture on your desktop. Put a beautiful picture or a poster that makes you feel great and inspired in a place where you can see it frequently throughout the day, be it in your office, your bedroom, your car or on your fridge or your mirror in the bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Your own success journal is fun to write and at the same time an effective motivational tool, because it helps you to maintain positive attitude, stay concentrated on the goals that are important to you and monitor your progress. Just take a notebook or create a new folder on your computer, where you can write down everything positive that happened to you today. Keep in mind that it is not a to-do list or action plan, so do not write what you still have to do. What you DID is what matters most.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, if your goal is to lose 5 pounds by the end of the month, your little achievements could be “did a 25 minute workout in the morning”, “took the stairs instead of the elevator when I got to work”, or “Ordered a salad instead of a hamburger for lunch”. Make it a habit: at the end of each day, devote 10-20 minutes writing down your achievements and give yourself sincere praise or reward yourself for every task or goal that you have accomplished. Because you deserve it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Motivational quotes are a wonderful source of inspiration. Motivational quotes can be phrases, biblical passages, inspirational ideas, or positive thoughts that you have read somewhere, or came up with yourself. The quote must be capable of motivating you into action. Actions that lead towards your goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a great idea to write your motivational quotes down on blank business cards, to carry with you to review whenever you feel the need for a little inspiration. Take a blank flash card or just small piece of paper and write down your favorite quote. Then put it into your wallet. Every time you need motivation, just take a look at it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the author:&lt;br /&gt;Arina Nikitina is a goal setting expert and the owner of &lt;a href="http://www.goal-setting-guide.com/"&gt;www.goal-setting-guide.com&lt;/a&gt; .

Be sure to sign up for Jon's newsletter. It is always full of great tips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Have to" or "Get to" by Jon Gordon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who knew that two simple words could change one's mindset, perspective and approach to work and life? Just two words have the potential to enhance joy, productivity, performance and change a complaining voice to an appreciative heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So often we say things like, "I have to take the kids to practice." "I have to go to this meeting." "I have to finish this project." "I have to go to work today." "I have to take care of this customer." "I have to share this new information with my team." "I have to see my family this weekend."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We act as if we don't have a choice. As if we are imprisoned by a paycheck and the expectations of a world that forces us to do thing we don’t want to do. But in reality we do have a choice. We can choose our attitude and our actions. We can choose how we view our life and work. We can realize that every day is a gift. It’s not about what we have to do. It's about what we get to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We get to live this life while so many like Tim Russert and my Mom have left this world far too early. We get to drive in traffic while so many are too sick to drive a car. We get to go to a job while so many are unemployed. We get to raise our children even if they drive us nuts at times. :) We get to interact with our employees and customers and make a difference in their life. We get to use our gifts and talents to make a product or provide a service. We get to eat three meals a day while millions of people are starving. We get to work on projects, answer phone calls, serve customers, participate in meetings, design, create, share, sell, lead and suit up every day for the game of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes there will be challenges and life isn't easy but each day we wake up we get another opportunity to make today better than yesterday and tomorrow better than today.

They are written within 24 hours after a New Moon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surprisingly, you really don't need to believe that the check will work when you write it.  You will however be amazed at the results, as you will see increased abundance in your life, in some life area.  It is not always financial, but certainly in an area that you need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a traditional manner, which has been handed down, that it is suggested that you follow.  If you do not have a checking account you can draw a check on a piece of paper and fill it out the same way – the results will be the same: more abundance for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Within 24 hours after a New moon take a check out of your check book. In the check register outline this one entry so you remember that this is a check from the Universe. Write “gift,” “universal abundance,” “all the money I need,” etc. in the register space. Where it says "pay to," write your name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) On the check write your name in the PAY TO space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) In the little box on the same line where you would fill in the dollar amount write "Paid in Full."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) On the line underneath your name, where you would write out the dollar amount, write "Paid in Full."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Sign the check: "The Law of Abundance.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Do not date the check.  Do not write a specific dollar amount on the check. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) Put the check in a safe place and forget about it.  The Universe will take it from there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may feel skeptical about “trying” this – and what do you have to lose?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The following are the 2008 Dates of the New Moon. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jan. 8 Feb. 7 Mar. 7 Apr. 6 May 5 June 3 June 3 July 3 Aug 1 Aug 30 Sept 29 Oct 28 Nov 27 Dec 27&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carolyn Agosta&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="http://www.healinggardenworld.com/" href="http://www.healinggardenworld.com/"&gt;www.healinggardenworld.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="http://www.ccthealing.com/" href="http://www.ccthealing.com/"&gt;www.ccthealing.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-1277779029248573101?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/1277779029248573101/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=1277779029248573101&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/1277779029248573101'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/1277779029248573101'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2008/01/abundance-checks.html' title='Abundance Checks'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-4288610081230489720</id><published>2008-01-05T12:13:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-05T12:15:29.186-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><title type='text'>Inspiration</title><content type='html'>Watch your thoughts, for they become words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch your words, for they become actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch your actions, for they become habits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch your habits, for they become character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ralph Waldo Emerson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-4288610081230489720?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/4288610081230489720/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=4288610081230489720&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/4288610081230489720'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/4288610081230489720'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2008/01/inspiration.html' title='Inspiration'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-8589453135316273006</id><published>2008-01-04T21:06:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-04T21:14:49.920-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Articles by Kathy Atkinson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Law of Attraction'/><title type='text'>Set Your Energetic Tone</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Set Your Energetic Tone&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"By the powerful Universal Law of Attraction, you draw to you the essence of whatever you are predominantly thinking about. So if you are predominantly thinking about the things that you desire, your life experience reflects those things. And, in the same way, if you are predominantly thinking about what you do not want, your life experience reflects those things."&lt;/em&gt; Esther and Jerry Hicks, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ask and It Is Given&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frequently, I am asked about the processes I use to activate the Law of Attraction in my favor. I have shared many of them in this newsletter. Last January, I created a script about my ideal life experience to help set the tone for my day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you in the habit of setting a positive, energetic tone for your day? You are in charge of your mood and attitude. You have the ability to start your day in the right frame of mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the script I used this year to create my best year yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;It is amazing to me how well my life goes. Each day brings new and wondrous miracles. The Universe knows exactly what I need and when I need it. My life flows in perfect harmony. All I have to do ask and the Universe answers immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I accept that I am unique and different from anyone else and I am proud of how well I reveal my true self. When I wake up in the morning, I am infused with the energy of love and infinite well-being. I am glad to be alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can hardly wait to move my body. It gives me immense pleasure to exercise and work out. I love to stretch and lift weights. My body feels toned and fit. I am in the best shape ever.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I crave nutritious foods. Everything I eat nourishes and energizes my cells, tissues and organs. I feel vibrant, strong and healthy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the people in my life and the relationships I have co-created. Each and every connection is rewarding, satisfying and fulfilling. We have deep and loving bonds that go way beyond words.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I love being in charge of my day and how I spend my time. Nothing is more important than that I feel good. Each and every day, I have an opportunity to choose things that make me feel good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every day the perfect clients and customers are magically drawn to me. Each one of them is an ideal match to my energy, my vibration, my gifts and my talents. Because they are such a perfect match, they achieve miraculous results very quickly. They love to share their success stories with me, and also their friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My business grows steadily every day because of all the people who are eagerly promoting my products and services. Every day someone calls me with a new opportunity to reach out and share my information with others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Universe is an expert at bringing me the right people and the right opportunities. It is as if I have the most magnificent and efficient administrative assistant working for me…someone who can read my mind and anticipate exactly what I need next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am absolutely delighted by all the wonderful surprises that come my way each and everyday. I take time to count my blessing and acknowledge how well my life is going and I take pleasure in helping others to do the same. As we all move towards peace and plenty, the world miraculously changes before our very eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I give thanks for my life and the power I have to influence the world in a positive way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Be It ~ And So It Is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Challenge&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Set your energetic tone for the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Create a script that articulates your perfect day and ideal life situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choose words that paint a picture that thrills and delights you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every morning read over your script before you begin your daily activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Law of Attraction is always working. Make sure it is working in your favor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Use whatever excuse you can to vibrate in harmony with those things you've been saying you want. And when you do, those things that are a vibrational equivalent flow into your experience in abundance. Not because you deserve it, not because you've earned it, but because it's the natural consequence of the Law of Attraction. That which is like unto itself is drawn.”&lt;/em&gt; Abraham - Excerpted from the workshop in Silver Spring, MD on Saturday, April 19th, 1997&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-8589453135316273006?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/8589453135316273006/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=8589453135316273006&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/8589453135316273006'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/8589453135316273006'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2008/01/set-your-energetic-tone.html' title='Set Your Energetic Tone'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-3008442953963445010</id><published>2008-01-04T20:19:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-04T20:39:09.829-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Book recommendation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Law of Attraction'/><title type='text'>Manifesting Mentors ~ Law of Attraction - the easy way</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="https://paydotcom.com/r/35949/katkinson/2465632/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Manifesting Mentors&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so privileged to announce that the &lt;strong&gt;Law of Attraction eBook&lt;/strong&gt; I was asked to contribute to is finally available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are You Trying To Use The Law Of Attraction, Deliberate Manifestation, Conscious Creation, Or Quantum Physics To Attract Your Desires...Only To Have Limited Or NO Results?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;There is definitely a learning curve to all of this manifestation business!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tom Murasso&lt;/strong&gt;, author of &lt;strong&gt;Born to Manifest&lt;/strong&gt;, invited the finest &lt;strong&gt;“Manifestation Mentors”&lt;/strong&gt; to help him put together an instruction manual to help with the manifestation learning curve and speed up what usually takes years of practice and time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You’ve heard that two heads are better than one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well, 10 heads can create magic! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carol Look - LCSW, DCH, EFT Master&lt;br /&gt;Jack Canfield - America's Success Coach, Star of the Secret&lt;br /&gt;Dov Baron - Leadership Specialist&lt;br /&gt;Eva Gregory - CPCC, Author, Coach&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kathy Atkinson - EFT Practitioner &amp;amp; Life Coach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ilya Alexi - Self-Help Author&lt;br /&gt;Heather Vale - Radio Personality, Author&lt;br /&gt;Leslie Fieger - Meme Therapist &amp;amp; Wealth Mentor&lt;br /&gt;David Cameron - Wealth Specialist, Author&lt;br /&gt;Tom Murasso - Certified Hypnotherapist, Author&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These people are &lt;strong&gt;MASTERS in the Art of Conscious Creation&lt;/strong&gt;.

Is this the year you are ready to focus on what is really important for you to experience in this lifetime?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This &lt;strong&gt;Law of Attraction - EFT Telegathering&lt;/strong&gt; is the first of a series of teleclasses focused on helping you to clearly identify what you need to experience in order to get to the end of your life having no regrets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During each of the telegatherings we will be using the &lt;strong&gt;Goal Questions&lt;/strong&gt; on my web site at &lt;a title="http://www.8keystosuccess.com/questions.htm" href="http://www.8keystosuccess.com/questions.htm"&gt;http://www.8keystosuccess.com/questions.htm&lt;/a&gt;. We will work through the 13 different areas I have identified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This first session focuses on the &lt;strong&gt;Personal Goals&lt;/strong&gt; you have for yourself. Here are the questions from my web site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you want to be, do and have?&lt;br /&gt;What emotions would you like to experience more often?&lt;br /&gt;What traits would you like to adopt?&lt;br /&gt;What contributions do you want to make?&lt;br /&gt;What personal comforts would you like to have? massages, maid?&lt;br /&gt;How would you like to simplify your life?&lt;br /&gt;How much personal time would you like to have each day?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After we identify what is important for you to experience, we use EFT to release any resistance (fears, doubts, or limiting beliefs) you have to achieving your personal goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this is the year you are ready to live with no regrets, I invite you to listen to this telegathering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Duration:&lt;/strong&gt; 58 minutes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eft-downloads.com/Audio/PersonalGoals108AD.mp3"&gt;Listen to the call&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the affirmations used during the EFT session:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Eyebrow: If I can imagine it, it is possible for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outside eye: Everything I desire is achievable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under eye: I know what I want and I am ready for it to manifest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under nose: The personal goals I have are attainable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chin: I believe in myself 100%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Collarbone: I deserve to be, do or have anything that is important to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under arm: I give myself full permission to realize my personal goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Top of head: I intend to live my life with no regrets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:#333399;"&gt;Dear Kathy,&lt;br /&gt;Thank you so much for sending the replay link for last night's telegathering and for the written affirmations. I was on the call and found it to be a very powerful experience for me and I have lots of ideas now on how to focus in on a couple of areas which are important for me in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have a great presence and knack for leading such a telegathering and such a lovely voice to listen to. A wonderful experience all around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kindest regards,&lt;br /&gt;Carol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-8859337593697694706?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/8859337593697694706/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=8859337593697694706&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/8859337593697694706'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/8859337593697694706'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2007/12/law-of-attraction-eft-telegathering.html' title='Law of Attraction - EFT Telegathering - Personal Goals'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-670353062416514098</id><published>2007-12-26T21:14:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-29T10:21:42.405-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video'/><title type='text'>The Simple Truths of Service</title><content type='html'>If your business or job depends on great service, here is a short video that you will find inspiring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Simple Truths of Service&lt;/strong&gt; ~ Inspired by Johnny the Bagger&lt;br /&gt;by Ken Blanchard &amp;amp; Barbara Glanz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stservicemovie.com/"&gt;http://www.stservicemovie.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What small gesture can make you stand out from the crowd?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-670353062416514098?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/670353062416514098/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=670353062416514098&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/670353062416514098'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/670353062416514098'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2007/12/simple-truths-of-service.html' title='The Simple Truths of Service'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-2624834401830445927</id><published>2007-11-26T08:30:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-11-26T08:58:29.682-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Articles by Kathy Atkinson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Love'/><title type='text'>The Energy of Love</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;The energy of love has created the Universe and everything within it. The energy of love is alive, active, vital, creative and healing. Love is an energy that you have the power to direct. You have the ability to flow and expand this energy through your intention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year, I offered a teleclass on the power of love. I had the participants send love into a glass of water in order to witness first hand the energy of love. Try out this experiment yourself and be prepared to be surprised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take two glasses and put two to four ounces of water into each glass. Place one glass in another room where it will be out of sight and out of mind. Hold the other glass in your hand and send love into the water for about one minute. Imagine love going into the water in any way that feels comfortable to you. You may use an image, a feeling or just have a sense of love going into the water. After one minute, taste the water in the two glasses and notice if you detect a distinct difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Participants in this experiment reported that the water they sent love into tasted “smoother”, “lighter”, “less metallic”, "warmer", etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the experiment, I took the teleclass participants through a guided imagery sending love through their entire body. Since the feedback was so positive, I have recorded the guided imagery and offer it on my web site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here is the description of this guided imagery:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Love is an energy that has the power to heal, balance and align your physical body. During this 16-minute guided imagery, you are taken on a journey sending love to your entire body. You will send love to every cell, tissue and organ in your body. You will send extra love to any physical challenges your body is currently experiencing. You will end by sending love to the people and situations that mean the most to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get your copy of the &lt;a href="http://www.eft-downloads.com/EnergyLove.asp"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Energy of Love&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;MP3 recording: &lt;a href="http://www.eft-downloads.com/EnergyLove.asp"&gt;Click here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Challenge&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love can be sent to any person, place or situation. It can be sent to foods, pets, plants, computers, web sites or cars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are some suggestions:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Send love out ahead of you whenever you leave the house.&lt;br /&gt;Send love to any situation that worries you.&lt;br /&gt;Send love to your spouse, children, parents and friends.&lt;br /&gt;Send love into every meal you eat.&lt;br /&gt;Send love to your office, workspace, computer, boss, co-workers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is an affirmation I use:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;May the energy of love go before me, making the way clear, smooth, easy, joyful, successful, fun, positive, and prosperous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quotes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Love is not automatic. It takes practice and awareness, just like playing the piano or golf. However, you have ample opportunities to practice. Everyone you meet can be your practice session.”&lt;/em&gt; Doc Childre and Sara Paddison, HeartMath Discovery Program &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Give away your love, freely and without expectation. Give it away, and soon your life will be filled with love, and you will have set others on the path of love and peace.”&lt;/em&gt; John Robbins&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-2624834401830445927?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/2624834401830445927/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=2624834401830445927&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/2624834401830445927'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/2624834401830445927'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2007/11/energy-of-love.html' title='The Energy of Love'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-4170051506115244350</id><published>2007-11-16T13:08:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T13:35:09.487-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Let's say thanks to our troops</title><content type='html'>Something cool that Xerox is doing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At &lt;a title="http://www.letssaythanks.com/" href="http://www.letssaythanks.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.letssaythanks.com/&lt;/a&gt; you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and get it to a soldier in Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is free and only takes seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether you are for or against the war, our people over there need to know we feel for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mission of &lt;strong&gt;Let's Say Thanks&lt;/strong&gt; is to provide a way for individuals across the country to recognize U.S. troops stationed overseas.

Think about your feelings and your reactions to this question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have a situation on which you haven’t taken action, ask yourself why you haven’t taken action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it because you are afraid? Are you afraid of what others will think, what others will say? Are you afraid of failure, of success?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The knee-jerk reaction for most people is to say...I can’t do that or I can’t say that, when really they are just experiencing fear about speaking up or taking some new action step that is out of their comfort zone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can use this question when making really big changes in your life like quitting your job or leaving a relationship, but I would like to encourage you to apply it to small things you hesitate to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use this question when you need to speak up for yourself, when you need to ask for directions or when you need to ask for help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What would I do or say if I had no fear?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This question can help you release your fear of looking or sounding stupid, embarrassing yourself or being rejected. This question can empower you to decide what you want to do instead of focusing on what you are afraid of doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I use this question when I have to step out of my comfort zone and find myself hesitating and telling myself I can’t do that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I use this question when I am afraid to go into new social situations and don’t know what to say or don’t know who will be there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I have been procrastinating about taking action on some project because I don’t think I have the time, I stop and ask myself... What would I do if I had no fear? Often times I find I have some hidden fear under my lack of action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“If you are never scared, embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take chances.”&lt;/em&gt; Julia Soul&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Challenge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next time you catch yourself hesitating or procrastinating about saying or doing something. Stop and ask yourself...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What would I do if I had no fear?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask yourself:&lt;br /&gt;What would I like to do in this situation?&lt;br /&gt;What would I like to say in this situation?&lt;br /&gt;What is really stopping me: a real fear, or something in my imagination?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Every situation presents us with an opportunity to automatically react or consciously respond: a choice point.

Having done this routine many times, my tour through the house is second nature, sometimes completed without my thinking about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I lock the doors, shut the windows and prepare the house for a good night’s rest, a certain comfort comes over me. I know that with my forethought and active preparation, everything within my home is safe and secure. I can rest knowing that my family is well-protected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While most of us are familiar with the great care placed on securing our home at night, many of us forget the importance of our own protection when we leave that house in the morning. We scramble off to work, unguarded and unready for whatever life may throw our way. At work, we allow the volatile winds of melodrama, gossip and petty details whip through our bodies and minds, leaving us stressed, anxious and drained at the end of the day. We fail to realize that just a few minutes of preparation in the morning could give us the same security and calmness throughout our day as we have during a restful night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leaving your mental doors and windows wide open every morning makes you susceptible to very real, though less obvious, threats to your overall wellbeing. You invite the negative thoughts and actions of those around you to creep in and weigh you down. Their contamination of your thoughts is as dangerous as having an intruder assault you in your own house. Without protection, it becomes easy to accept this negativity as normal and let it consume your everyday life. By locking up your mental doors, you can safeguard the positive thoughts and ideals that make the most of your day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guarding yourself from negativity does not mean shutting others out or even avoiding potentially negative situations. Rather, it is a proactive approach to protect the valuable thoughts and feelings that let you enjoy life. It is the decision to accept and deal with the ups and downs of life without letting them infect your positive thoughts and values.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buttoning up your mental house is not an easy task. However, with continued practice, you can learn to make it as natural and routine as locking up your home at night. The simple act of choosing to guard your mental home is all it takes to make the difference in how you respond to different situations throughout the day. Choosing to secure your positive thoughts is the only action you need to take to make it happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this choice, you will find yourself going out of your way to make sure you are not sucked into infectious water cooler talk or arguments of who’s right and who’s wrong. You will clearly recognize destructive people and situations, and realize there are better places where you should be spending your time and energy. When you start putting your time and energy into positive things, you will undoubtedly generate more positive results in your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While some shrug off the benefits of sustaining positive thoughts, those who have it as a part of their daily life know that it is much more than just feeling good. Apart from enhancing your personal life, its business implications are limitless. Your positive outlook will breed creativity, motivation and energy within your business, fostering your best work. It will also have a profound affect on your business relationships, service, and sales. To put it simply, when you feel your best, you will perform your best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you go through your nightly routine of preparing your house for a good night’s rest, ask yourself if you have equally protected yourself throughout the day. With well-guarded positive thoughts, you will have the strength to deal with anything that comes your way, and enjoy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author’s Biography:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Tom Richard is a speaker, writer and trainer who has dedicated his life to spreading the joy that comes from selling and marketing in a natural and enjoyable way.

On my quest to heal myself, I came across two amazing healers, Nancy Orlen Weber, RN and Christina M. Santiago, who introduced me to the healing power of Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mind you, these are NOT the regular Essential Oils that we associate with massage oils and bath products. The Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils (as regulated in Europe) have been well-studied by medical researchers all over the world, and proven to have therapeutic effects on many physical and medical conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a former RN myself, I like to see scientic "proof". The more studies I read, the more amazed I am about the healing power of Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils. I bought an Essential Oils Desk Reference, which is basically an encyclopedia of Essential Oils, and it lists in details how to use specific oils to relieve physical &amp;amp; medical conditions. I have been using an Essential Oils regimen daily for myself, and for my family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides the physical health benefits, some Essential Oils have metaphysical properties that can raise your vibrational level, and thus POSITIVELY affect your thoughts, feelings, and mindset. If you have heard of Law of Attraction, you know that we are energy beings. Metaphysical Essential Oils can raise your vibration, and help you release past hurt emotions, relieve stress &amp;amp;&lt;br /&gt;anxiety, attract abundance, improve mental focus &amp;amp; clarity, overcome limiting beliefs, etc. I also incorporate Essential Oils in coaching my clients, when I think they can benefit from it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are intrigued or curious about what I've just shared, you definitely want to sign up for this 2-part Teleclass series!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm very honored to have both Nancy Orlen Weber, RN, and Christina M. Santiago as my guest speakers. Both are amazing healers, and both have a wealth of knowledge, experience and incredible healing stories to share with you. And, they are so graciously offering these two classes at NO COST to you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you take advantage of this incredible opportunity to learn from them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To read about their full bio and to register for these two classes, visit&lt;br /&gt;==&gt; &lt;a title="http://www.beyondhorizoncoaching.com/eoteleclass.html" href="http://www.beyondhorizoncoaching.com/eoteleclass.html"&gt;http://www.beyondhorizoncoaching.com/eoteleclass.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, I just want to mention that, Nancy's life journey is in itself an amazing story. Besides being an RN, she is also an author, medical intuitive, and psychic detective (she received a police badge in 1982). She has been featured on many national TV channels, including Discovery, A&amp;amp;E, TLC, Court TV, Biography, etc. It's an incredible experience to meet and learn&lt;br /&gt;from her. You wouldn't want to miss out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;======================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;* Part I *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Essential Oils for Health &amp;amp; Healing&lt;br /&gt;Friday, September 28, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ET&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;* Part II *&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Metaphysical Essential Oils for Personal Success&lt;br /&gt;Friday, October 19, 12:00 pm- 1:00 pm ET&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Guest Speakers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Nancy Orlen Weber, RN&lt;br /&gt;Christina M.

Or, do you just let life happen to you and hope for the best?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too many people are just letting life happen and then complaining about the results that they receive. Setting intentions at the beginning of your day helps you get clear and focused about what you want to experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your list of intentions goes beyond a to-do list (which is also good to have). Your intentions are about what you want to experience and how you want to show up that day. It's about setting the tone for the kind of day you want to unfold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather than going into a detailed explanation about how to set intentions, I have included my list of intentions that I set for myself on a daily basis. I have also included some examples of specific intentions I set for the activities that vary from day-to-day and moment-to-moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here is my list of daily intentions:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to have fun today. (My number one - main intention for every single day) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to laugh out loud and make others laugh out loud. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to be acknowledged and appreciated and I intend to find others to acknowledge and appreciate today. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to value and respect myself today. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to have others value and respect me. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to value and respect others today. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to be open to giving and receiving today. Giving and receiving love, joy, happiness, abundance, prosperity, and gratitude.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If I am giving a talk or a presentation:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to show up confident, self-assured, clear, focused, energetic,&lt;br /&gt;enthusiastic, dynamic, vibrant, memorable, impressive, dazzling, etc. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If I am spending the day writing:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to be creative and brilliant today. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to be open and receptive to receiving the right and perfect words that are inspiring, uplifting, and transforming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If I am doing something out of my comfort zone:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to be fearless today. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to be bold. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to step forward with confidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If I am going out to eat:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to be seated at a table that is comfortable and has a wonderful view. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to be served by the best (meaning knowledgeable, efficient, pleasant, lighthearted, and fun) waiter or waitress in the restaurant. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I intend to enjoy a delicious meal. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before going to bed, I review my day and write down all of the intentions that manifested. It is important to notice the results and the successes that you are manifesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Challenge&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't let another day go by without setting clear and focused intentions. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Take charge of your life and decide upfront the kind of day it you expect to have. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Treat this as a fun activity that helps set the tone for your day. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Keep track of how your intentions are manifesting. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If some of your intentions aren't manifesting, see if you can get even clearer and more focused about what you want to experience. Notice if you have any resistance to your intentions that is preventing them manifesting. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are the creator of your reality. Decide what you want to experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-7182997277367361556?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/7182997277367361556/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=7182997277367361556&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/7182997277367361556'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/7182997277367361556'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2007/08/whats-your-intention-by-kathy-atkinson.html' title=''/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-2425810235121476404</id><published>2007-08-23T21:19:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-08-23T21:29:48.972-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Book recommendation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video'/><title type='text'>The Divine Matrix by Gregg Braden</title><content type='html'>I have really enjoyed reading Gregg Braden's books over the years.

by Kathy Atkinson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;See How You Are Flowing Your Energy! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our bodies are surrounded by an energy field of electromagnetic bands. Depending on how we are feeling from moment to moment, these bands expand or constrict. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since our energy field is magnetic, when we feel down, negative or unhappy we tend to attract more of the same. When we feel positive, excited or joyful we tend to attract more of those kinds experiences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Energy wands are a simple, yet effective way to see how your energy is flowing. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to make energy wands:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get two wire coat hangers and cut an “L” out of each one, about 12 inches long for the main part and about 5 inches for the handle. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cut a plastic straw to fit the handle so that it swings easily. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the straw is in place bend the bottom of the handle up to hold the straw in place.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To protect yourself from the sharp ends, dip the tips of the hangers in candle wax several time to coat the ends. Be sure to supervise any use of the wands by children. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to use the energy wands: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Hold the wands loosely out in front of your chest about 10 inches apart and 10 inches from your body. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With your eyes straight ahead, recall with feeling a sad or unpleasant event from your past. Depending on the intensity of your emotion, the wands will stay straight ahead or will point inward, tip to tip. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, focus on something wonderful, loving or joyous that you have experienced. Watch as the wands now expand outward as your energy field expands in response to your positive energy flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suggested uses:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hold them when you are talking on the phone to see if you are in a positive or negative frame of mind. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use them when you are repeating affirmations. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use them before you go to bed, to make sure you are open to experience a restful night’s sleep.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use them before and after an EFT session to see how your energy has shifted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give them to your negative friends, so they can see how they are flowing their energy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By paying attention to how you are flowing your energy, you can attract more rendezvous with positive people and situations. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Energy wand information is adapted from &lt;em&gt;“Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting”&lt;/em&gt; by Lynn Grabhorn. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-8984437522312609977?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/8984437522312609977/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=8984437522312609977&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/8984437522312609977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/8984437522312609977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2007/06/energy-wands-see-how-you-are-flowing.html' title='Energy Wands - See how you are flowing your energy'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/RnKtd0F9IRI/AAAAAAAAABA/eG_lNv_wn0w/s72-c/Energy+Wands.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-7445812794565752277</id><published>2007-06-15T08:45:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-06-15T09:10:29.287-04:00</updated><title type='text'>New Teleclass Series - In the Flow of Money</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;New Teleclass Series - &lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;In the Flow of Money&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend and colleague Cleopatra Bell is offering a no-cost, 6-week teleclass series.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~In The Flow Of Money Part 1 - 6 Weeks Free Teleclass~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“There are many people who aren't doing their life's work because they don't know how to manifest money or the tools they need.”&lt;/em&gt; Sanaya Roman and Duane Pack&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you like to learn how to get in the flow of money and manifest more money into your life?

Riding carefree down the road, wind whistling around you... the ultimate picture of freedom and excitement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not that easy though. There are many challenges (aka: fears) to overcome. There's the balance challenge - starting and stopping smoothly (meaning, confidently and gracefully!). The throttle challenge - trying to keep a loose grip AND go a consistent speed that YOU want to go. The death grip challenge - trying to remain calm and not fall prey to the panic instinct of gripping tightly and pulling toward you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(For you readers who are "motorcycle knowledge challenged," the throttle is on the right side of the handle bars. Turning it toward you in a death grip panic is the equivilant of driving a car and someone pulls out in front of you and you mistakenly step on the gas instead of the break!)&lt;br /&gt;And then there's the gear shift challenge - I know, in theory it's just like shifting gears in a car. But there's a whole different set of muscles involved which brings with it a whole different thought process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aware of the starting/stopping balance challenge before getting on the motorcycle, I recruited my husband to be my "training wheels." He sat behind me in the passenger seat (he's a foot taller than me) so he could keep the bike up while I concentrated on starting and stopping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I did not expect was the amount of fear that showed up! The balancing act of letting go of the clutch while GENTLY turning the throttle is a whole trick in itself. (The clutch is a lever on the left side of the handle bar. Squeezing it toward the handle bar is the equivilant of pushing the clutch to the floor in a car.) The first try was a surprise to say the least. The real fear showed up on the second try!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even with "training wheels" in place, there was still an element of letting go and trust. Letting go of the fear that kept me in "ready-set" mode so long that after an hour the battery died. Also a trust factor - trust in myself, knowing that I could do this; and trust in God and the "process of life" if you will, trusting that I wasn't given this motorcycle only to kill myself within the first hour of riding it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Of course, it didn't help that the first person I told that I was getting a motorcycle was a girl friend then said to me, "Oh wow! I was thinking about getting one too until a man's wife down the street from me bought one for his wife and she killed herself on it the first day.... I didn't bother telling anyone else after that!)&lt;br /&gt;Within the first hour, I started getting the hang of the throttle challenge and could take off fairly smoothly and could even stay at a consistant speed of 10-15 miles an hour as I rode around the house on our three acre property. Got lots of practice making large right circles. Turning left thought is still scary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The surprising thing was how short lived those "wins" were. After taking a short break, I got back on the bike to go to the next level, starting and stopping without training wheels. After popping the clutch a few times and being frozen in "ready-set" mode I realized that there was a lot more fear involved than I'd expected. And that before going on, I would have to work on those fears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"When you overcome the fear of death, you overcome all fear."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;- Matt Benson, b.1991&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I worked on my fear the next morning using a meridian based energy shifting technique called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). It's a great process for eliminating fears, anxieties, and limiting beliefs that effect our personal energy systems in negative ways. (You can find out more about it &lt;a href="http://www.emofree.com/" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; or at my friend and &lt;a href="http://www.8keystosuccess.com/energy.htm" target="_blank"&gt;colleague's site.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By late afternoon I was ready for another motocycle session. That's when the real adventure began!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My game plan this time was to keep my training wheels in place while I practiced starting and stopping WITH the foot motions. The day before I'd done the starting and stopping routine with both feet on the foot pegs. (The foot motions include holding up the bike with your left foot on the ground while the right foot is on the foot peg. As the bike begins to move forward, you LET GO of the ground and put that foot on its foot peg. Stopping is basically the reverse.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letting go is hard. It's scary. As I talked about before, you have to trust. And you have to have courage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I mustered up my courage, took a deep breath and took off....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well.... unfortunately, overnight I'd forgotten the sensitivity of the throttle, and my take off left my husband - my training wheels - in the dust!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I panicked, and with a choice between the ditch or a left curve (remember, I was only experienced in right curves up to this point), I discovered that I COULD drop the bike without hurting myself. (For you non-motorcyclists, that means I fell - or at least the bike fell, I remained standing.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dropping the bike was one of those back there in my mind fears I hadn't voiced yet. So I took care of that fear plus the fear of throwing someone else off the bike and throwing myself off the bike within the first five minutes. Luckily, I'm practicing in the grass and not on the pavement! The next adventure was not quite so lucky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everybody got back on the bike and I did another successful practice start and stop. Then.... for some reason, I decided that I would go around the tree in our side yard and come back the other way instead of going through the opened gate and continuing the left circle through the pasture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, about 6-8 yards before the gate I realized that this turn was going to be much more sharp than I'd expected. At this point I was headed straight for the gate post. I had a choice between the barbed-wire fence, the wooden post, or the opened gate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I chose the opened gate instinctively, but forgot to inform my muscles and my brain. The "good" thing is that I don't have to worry with the shifting gears challenge for awhile since the whole gear thing will have to be replaced. I also got the "body-slam" lesson out of the way as I hit the fence post. (Luckily the gear shift lever took hit first and took away some of the impact!) I also discovered that I could manipulate a panic situation and survive a crash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what have I learned?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Practicing - going through the motions - helps to alieviate the fear by building confidence &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Feeling the fear and doing it anyway is the only way to move forward &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Moving forward means letting go and trusting &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;The instinct to hold on tightly and pull toward yourself when things seem out of control is not the best choice &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Training wheels are much like emotional "baggage" - they weigh you down and make life harder&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Crash and burns are going to happen and they provide immediate feedback for what things need to be changed or modified &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;I can handle tense situations &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Like my Dad always said, I CAN do anything I put my mind to!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Go Deeper, Reach Higher&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Fear is the energy to do your best in a new situation."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;- John-Roger &amp;amp; Peter McWilliams, Do It! Let's Get Off Our Buts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As children, our parents many times teach us the "fear factor" as a way of keeping us safe:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Don't run out in the street, you might get run over."&lt;br /&gt;"Don't touch the hot stove, you'll get burned."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But they forget to tell us as we leave home at 18 that "fear" does not necessarily mean "don't do it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As adults, with dreams and goals and trying to find fulfillment in life, fear often holds us back from following through with that great idea, asking for a raise, changing to a more satisfying job or career, getting out of a deadend relationships, making those sales calls, following up with a new lead, or moving forward in a variety of ways. Fear robs us of the fulfillment, success, and happiness we all want and deserve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are you afraid of?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Is it a something? Or is it fear of feeling another emotion like guilt, unworthiness, hurt feelings, or anger?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or is it simply that you've stepped out of your "comfort zone" and are in a new situation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror: I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;- Eleanor Roosevelt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next time you feel fear come up, take a moment to look deeper into it. What's behind the fear? Where did it originate? How might it be useful?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A great "fear busting" tool is to dialogue with it. Start up a conversation with it and ASK it why it's there and what is has to teach you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This powerful journaling technique engages your intuition and allows you to look beyond the outer layer of the feeling. You act as the "scribe" writing down both parts of the conversation and allow your intuition flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try this out and let me know how it goes! I'd love to hear back from you.

These two EFT sessions will help you release and shift the most common fears, doubts and limiting beliefs that are keeping you from manifesting your goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date:&lt;/strong&gt; Monday, May 14, 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time:&lt;/strong&gt; 8:00 PM eastern (7:00 PM central, 6:00 PM mountain, 5:00 PM pacific)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Duration:&lt;/strong&gt; 90 minutes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost:&lt;/strong&gt; $29&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facilitator:&lt;/strong&gt; Kathy Atkinson, EFT-ADV - &lt;a title="http://www.eftdownloads.com/" href="http://www.eftdownloads.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.eftdownloads.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recording:&lt;/strong&gt; MP3 Download&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus Materials:&lt;/strong&gt; EFT scripts for Fear of Success and Fear of Failure ($14 value)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Creative Life Coaching&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kathy Atkinson, EFT-ADV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="http://www.8keystosuccess.com/" href="http://www.8keystosuccess.com/"&gt;www.8keystosuccess.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-6510427379564825913?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/6510427379564825913/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=6510427379564825913&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/6510427379564825913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/6510427379564825913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2007/05/release-resistance-to-manifesting-your.html' title='Release Resistance to Manifesting Your Goals Teleclass'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-8571790317419160750</id><published>2007-05-07T07:40:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-11-19T02:16:55.697-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pictures'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Law of Attraction'/><title type='text'>Abraham Comments on "The Secret"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/Rj8Uevtat_I/AAAAAAAAAAw/RbVKWpnnn8I/s1600-h/JerryEsther.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061787024623319026" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/Rj8Uevtat_I/AAAAAAAAAAw/RbVKWpnnn8I/s320/JerryEsther.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I just watched Abraham's response to being edited out of "The Secret".

We were not afraid to be ourselves. Overtime, however, we were conditioned to behave in a certain way, and took on some false beliefs about our self and our world. We created all these "stories" (our interpretation of the actual events) in our heads about our past, present, and how our future looks like. Gradually, we gave up our own power because we bought into these false beliefs and "stories".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These false beliefs and "stories" hold us back, and prevent us from speaking our own truth, honoring our Authentic Self, and living the life we truly desire. &lt;strong&gt;You might feel like you are living a life according to others' expectations and rules, instead of your own.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you relate to this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mother's Day is approaching. For those of you who are mothers, especially if you have a daughter, I think it's a great time to reflect on who you are, as a woman and as a mom, and how YOU would like to live your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's time to take back your power, and awaken the Goddess within YOU!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This month, I've invited my good friend &amp; colleague &lt;strong&gt;Leigh Anne Sommers, B.A., C.G.F.&lt;/strong&gt; as my guest speaker.

We dreamed of going to school, getting our Dream Job, and we'll be "set for life", that is, we'll be working there happily until we retire. Or, some of you might've dreamed of going to school, getting married, raising a family, and living happily ever after.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That would've been so nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, unfortunately, life in the 21st century does not work that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, because of changes in corporate culture, world economy and public policies etc, it is more and more difficult to stay with the same company for a long time, even if you want to. You might find out, out of the blue, that your job or your company no longer exists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life in the modern world could throw you all kinds of curve balls..... marriage, parenthood, illness &amp; injuries (yours or your loved one's), relocation, divorce, death in the family, your spouse lost his/her job, your kids leaving home, etc. Any of these changes could force you to make a midlife career change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or, you might wake up one day and decided that your current career is no longer fulfilling for you, and you wonder &lt;strong&gt;"Is this all there is for me?" &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When you decide to make a midlife career change, whether you initiated the change or not, these are some common questions &amp; concerns I hear all the time:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Am I making the right decision to change my career? I mean, I'm good at what I&lt;br /&gt;do right now and making good money.&lt;br /&gt;What can I do instead? I don't know what&lt;br /&gt;I like/want to do.&lt;br /&gt;I've been away from the workforce for so long-- who's gonna hire me?&lt;br /&gt;My previous education &amp;amp; training is outdated&lt;br /&gt;Should I go back to school?&lt;br /&gt;Am I too old to start a new career?&lt;br /&gt;I want to start my own business, but how?&lt;br /&gt;I'm scared of going into a new career/business.&lt;br /&gt;What if I don't like the new career I choose?&lt;br /&gt;What if I fail and lose all my savings?&lt;br /&gt;What would my spouse, family or friends think of my career change?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can relate to any of these questions or concerns, then this Teleclass is for you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are the details of this FREE Teleclass:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date:&lt;/strong&gt; Friday, April 27, 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time:&lt;/strong&gt; 12:00pm Eastern/New York Time (11:00am Central, 9:00am Pacific)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Duration:&lt;/strong&gt; 60 minutes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Presenter:&lt;/strong&gt; Hueina Su, Professional Life Coach, Founder of &lt;a title="http://www.beyondhorizoncoaching.com/" href="http://www.beyondhorizoncoaching.com/"&gt;Beyond Horizon Coaching&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost:&lt;/strong&gt; no charge, but you must register to receive the Bridgeline phone number and Access Code for this Teleclass&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are interested but cannot attend the live call, please register anyway.

I asked permission from Carole Provenzale to share it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enhancing your Career with Feng Shui&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Carole Provenzale, CFSP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fengshuili.com/" target="new"&gt;Director of Feng Shui Long Island&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're seeking a new career or would simply like to move up in the one you have, did you know there are simple, inexpensive things you can do to attract it right into your life? According to the Principles of Feng Shui, we work primarily with Intention, Energy and The Laws of Attraction. Knowing this is important as there is a misconception that Feng Shui changes or adjustments need to be costly. Then don't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A simple method of moving up in your career or changing one altogether is this: From the inside, the Front Door represents our career area according to the Bagua. One simple thing you can do is place a business card over your front door that states where you are now or what your present title is. If you don't have a business card, simply make one out of construction paper that clearly states your name, the business you currently work for and your title.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now think about what you'd aspire to do; the sky is the limit so dream on! There may be more then one thing you'd like to do or maybe you can't decide. If you'd like to stay in the same place but move up in position, carefully write out another business card with your name and your new title. Infuse it with your energy as you write. This will go over the first card you have created as this is what you aspire to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's say you'd like to change careers completely. Is there a company or certain place you'd like to work or perhaps be your own boss in a business you've always dreamed of? Then this is what you would write on the second card instead. Make sure it has your name and the name of your new company. And remember to put your energy into everything you do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to make as many cards as you like, we don't put restrictions on anything to do with Feng Shui. And think about this for your significant other if they are living with you. It has been shown that when you love what you do, failure is almost unheard of. Did you ever wonder why that is? Have you seen the incredible amounts of energy in certain people when they are speaking of something they are passionate about, be it a partner or their job?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you truly love what you do, you become engrossed with it; it gives you the energy to create more. It gives you ideas, aspirations to achieve even more and success starts to flow. You've probably seen this with every very prominent person you can think of. And it can happen for you as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, career incorporates the color black. Take another piece of construction paper and make a frame around your cards. Tape them inside the front door, on the top over the molding. You will see them every morning before stepping out the door to start your new day and won't forget what you are aspiring to achieve. And allow the thoughts and ideas to come on how to create that. Don't forget to act on those thoughts as you get them to bring back exactly what you are seeking to attain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the real business cards have come in due to your promotion or the start of your new business, replace the ones you have made. And know that YOU made it happen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carole Provenzale has been a Certified Feng Shui Practitioner since 1997 and is the Founder of Feng Shui Long Island.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please visit her website at &lt;a href="http://www.fengshuili.com/"&gt;http://www.fengshuili.com/&lt;/a&gt; for further information.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-1705280759105881446?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/1705280759105881446/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=1705280759105881446&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/1705280759105881446'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/1705280759105881446'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2007/04/enhancing-your-career-with-feng-shui-by.html' title='Enhancing your Career with Feng Shui by Carole Provenzale'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-2352349189499152757</id><published>2007-04-13T14:01:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-04-27T15:50:32.243-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Money'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Articles by Kathy Atkinson'/><title type='text'>Need a Million Dollar Idea?</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Need a Million Dollar Idea?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;by Kathy Atkinson&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever noticed that when you need something like a new computer or a new car, you begin to notice all the ads, articles, and commercials that highlight computers or the model of car you want to own? If you are not in the market for those items, you barely notice all the information crossing your path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are bombarded everyday by thousands of messages and information we don’t have time to consciously process. Our brains are wired to filter out anything that is not on our “radar screen”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here is an example of what I am talking about:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, I was in a restaurant about one hour from my home and overheard some people at the next table mentioned the town where I live. Normally, I would not be paying attention to conversations at other tables, but the part of my brain that acts as a filter was aware that they were talking about something I had some connection to and my ears were immediately drawn to their conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps you have had that experience at a party when you hear someone across the room mention your name and you are immediately aware of who is talking about you above all the other conversations going on around you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your name, your hometown, your place of employment and anything else that is important to you is on your “radar screen”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, are you are the look out for the next million dollar idea? Is that on your “radar screen”?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several years ago, I wrote a script, so I could program my brain to be on the lookout for the next multi-million dollar idea. I have to say that I come up with great ideas on a regular basis because I am on the lookout for them. I notice how to improve things, what people are complaining about and what new products I would like to have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have taken action on some of my ideas, one of them being the scripts and audio recordings on my web site &lt;a style="COLOR: #6600cc; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; text-underline: single" href="http://www.eftdownloads.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;www.EFTdownloads.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. It is not a million dollar website yet, but I have taken action on the idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ideas without action are just ideas, so once you get the idea, you must take action. However, first you have to collect ideas, so I want to share the script I use to help you program your mind to be on the look out for the new ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read this script over and tweak it until it resonates with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I choose to be Independently Wealthy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;And, I choose to experience all the&lt;strong&gt; Gifts and the Blessings &lt;/strong&gt;that go along with being&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Independently Wealthy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I Know that the next Multi-Million Dollar Idea already exists!&lt;/strong&gt; I am firmly grounded and ready to receive the &lt;strong&gt;Idea&lt;/strong&gt; that is a perfect match for who I am and what I want to express in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I choose to always be on the ready for this &lt;strong&gt;Amazing, Exciting&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Magnificent Idea&lt;/strong&gt; to appear. I expect to see it as a &lt;strong&gt;Thunderbolt&lt;/strong&gt; that hits me from out of the blue and is so recognizable that I hit my head and say... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Da, that’s it! Why didn’t I ever see this before???”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I choose to be on the lookout everyday for this &lt;strong&gt;Golden Nugget&lt;/strong&gt; that is my ticket to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Wealth, Stardom, Freedom, Fun, Excitement, Thrills and More.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I &lt;strong&gt;Know&lt;/strong&gt; that &lt;strong&gt;Heaven and Earth&lt;/strong&gt; will move to accommodate me and this new venture! What I come up with will fill a need, or a desire that the masses have been asking for. It is the &lt;strong&gt;Law of Attraction&lt;/strong&gt; at work. They ask, I position myself to allow the answer to come to me. I then allow the perfect unfolding of the Creative Process, in a way that brings me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Joy, Happiness, Delight and Success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I open myself up to what the masses are asking for, or what they are demanding to see&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; - Now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;When I rendezvous with this New Idea, &lt;strong&gt;Sparks Will Fly&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;Heavens Shall Rejoice&lt;/strong&gt; as this New Idea is born. I give thanks for the opportunity to birth this New Idea and to see it &lt;strong&gt;Develop, Grow&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Mature&lt;/strong&gt; into a full expression of who I am and where I am at this point in my ever expanding experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I acknowledge and appreciate the &lt;strong&gt;Magic&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;Miracle&lt;/strong&gt; of this &lt;strong&gt;New Idea Being Birthed Into My Imagination&lt;/strong&gt;.

Have you ever stopped to consider how much time you spend each day complaining?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have such a tendency to complain about things we have no control over...the weather, lack of time, and things that other people do. It is such a waste of time and energy to complain about those things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw a Pastor on TV recently who had the same idea. Create a complaint-free world. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.TheComplaintFreeChurch.org"&gt;www.TheComplaintFreeChurch.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Church members are sending out bracelets with &lt;strong&gt;“A Complaint Free World”&lt;/strong&gt; written on them as a gentle reminder to help people shift their conversations with themselves and others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you create a complaint free environment?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would like to order a bracelet visit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://acomplaintfreeworld.fobby.net/Complaint_Free_Bracelet_Order_Form.php"&gt;http://acomplaintfreeworld.fobby.net/Complaint_Free_Bracelet_Order_Form.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Challenge&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spend at least one day this week paying attention to how often you complain to yourself and to others about things you have no control over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep a notebook handy and jot down these things down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estimate how much time and energy you wasted that day on these topics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Decide how you can better spend your time and energy. What could or should you be talking about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, if you find yourself complaining about things you can do something about...&lt;strong&gt;stop complaining and do something!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28207640-4062082990422350987?l=keys-to-success.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/feeds/4062082990422350987/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28207640&amp;postID=4062082990422350987&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/4062082990422350987'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28207640/posts/default/4062082990422350987'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://keys-to-success.blogspot.com/2007/04/i-have-no-complaints_01.html' title='I Have No Complaints'/><author><name>Kathy Atkinson, EFTCert-I</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02323934355028087685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jc-HwE5nBPI/TNF02pUCSDI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1vJZQSA2kmU/S220/KAheadshot10-09.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207640.post-7965443256296861564</id><published>2007-03-31T08:51:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-04-27T15:23:42.092-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Articles by other authors'/><title type='text'>US Capitol Miracle?</title><content type='html'>Is this a true miracle? You judge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On March 25, James Twyman and representatives from Communities of Peace&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;a href="http://www.communitiesofpeace.org"&gt;www.communitiesofpeace.org&lt;/a&gt;) gathered on the west lawn of the  US Capitol to commemorate the Season For Non-Violence. During the  ceremony a mile long quilt called "The Children's Cloth of Many  Colors" was laid on the grass in the form of an enormous peace sign. The quilt was there for no more than one hour and was then removed.The next morning a call was received by the Capitol Police asking why there was a peace sign blazed into the grass. In fact, the grass where the quilt lie was greener and longer than the rest of the lawn. The response from around the world has been extraordinary. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information visit &lt;a href="http://www.emissaryoflight.com/_.aspx?content=Peace_Sign"&gt;http://www.emissaryoflight.com/_.aspx?content=Peace_Sign&lt;/a&gt;.

Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, March 25, 2007&lt;br /&gt;Quado Daily Portion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best way to discover the answer is to ask the right question.  And the question to ask is not "Why?"  The question to ask is not "When?"  The question to ask is not "What Next?"  The question to ask, and the only question to ask, is "What Now?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For within the question "What Now" is contained all the rest.  At the highest and widest, you are connected to all that is.  You know the past that contains the "Why," but you know it as a deep feeling and understanding.  To try to give words to this deep understanding is to bring in your analytical mind, and this mind loves creating puzzles and problems equally as much as it loves solving them.  So when you ask "Why," you will be presented with excuses and rationalizations that your active mind has made up as well as more and more problems and puzzles to solve.  "Why did I do that?" is so much less useful than, "What shall I do now?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yet, the answers are all there, in your deep spiritual connection.  This deep knowledge of the past as well as the motivations that will drive the future are clearly accessible to you only when you ask "What Now?"  For this is the one question that confounds the mind that lives only in the past and in a future derived only from past knowledge, not a future driven off what is happening right at this moment and the overall trends and currents that are flowing across the world even as you read these words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People who can truly envision the future, who can tap into things in time to catch the flower when it is still in the bud, do so by connecting deeply with this moment, the place where the future is formed.  In this moment, the vine is sending out shoots that will become the blooming flowers of tomorrow.  But just as the flowers that bloomed yesterday will soon drop from the vine, it is all changing, it is all evolving, and if you will but allow yourself, by setting aside fear and doubt and delving deeply into the connection that is yours to own, you will be able to sense those shoots and take advantage of the world that is about to blossom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not waste your time picking up the blossoms that have already fallen.  Do not waste your time and energy in shedding tears over the natural and easy evolution that is life, with its endings and beginnings and its glorious middle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of the answers are there, but they are all answered by the one question:  "What Now?"  For when you get the right answer to this question, it contains the future, for the correct answer to "What Now?" is what will position you to both enjoy this moment and to put yourself in place for the next most interesting and exciting thing that is to happen in your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is change and evolution.  Do not strive to make it otherwise.  A life well-lived is full of changes, twists and turns, times when you suddenly know you are to discard the past, move out of that old dream and allow a new one to form.  Hanging on to your old dreams is as harmful as hanging on to your old triumphs and disappointments.  Everything needs renewal.  Everything naturally evolves toward renewal.  Just as the spring drives the grass toward the sun, so does your life drive you toward new discoveries, new rays of being, new life forms taking shape in this moment and blossoming into tomorrows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so, let us ask, "What Now?"  Go deeply into your quiet center and breathe until you enter the pool of peace you know as your own truth.  Then lift yourself up to the top of your head and open up the portals for your higher self to fill you completely.  Join these together, your internal peace and your higher truth, letting it all flow and glow in golden delight.  Then ask, "What Now?"  The answer will be short, for now is just this few seconds, and you must be full of faith that what is right for now contains potential for the future as well, for your higher self knows all, is connected to all, can feel it all in its great flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So write these few words down, this direction for today.  Then ask again tomorrow and write that down as well.  Watch as the patterns form.  Follow the guidance you are given and see how wonderful things begin to flow more easily.  Quiet your mind that wants to make a problem it can solve.  Quiet your mind that wants to frame everything in terms of a known past and the direction seemingly set by your society.  Society is fickle; you need to be solid and steadfast in your truth, not blown by the winds of fashion and circumstance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Center yourself deeply and then ask the right question.  Then all you have to do is follow the directions you are given.  Nothing could be simpler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a little prayer for today&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel my truth inside, like a deep pool of peace unending.  I open myself to the golden flood of knowledge, faith and love that I know as my higher self.  I open myself to this deeper and wider knowledge of all that is in my world, right now, as well as the higher intentions of my soul. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is all one within me.  All truth, all knowledge, all love.  All that is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am truth.  I am power unending.  I am love and peace.  I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Quado messages from the last month are available on &lt;a title="http://www.quado.com/" style="COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; text-underline: single" href="http://www.quado.com/"&gt;www.Quado.com&lt;/a&gt; .
