| 2010 - Destined Loving...You | | | | | Welcome to February! My heart is heavy for the people in Haiti and for those who are without because of Haiti's devastation. To play some small role in helping I'm donating all profits from book sales during the next month to the American Red Cross. Purchase a personalized copy to help yourself and to help others. January's Recap Week 1 - Establishing 2010 Goals: - What one change would you like to see yourself make? And what is it going to take to get there?
- What is one goal that might seem unattainable now, but with hard work you believe you can achieve it?
Week 2 - Releasing FEAR: - Release your F.E.A.R.'s - False Expectations Appearing Real
- What are your goals?
- How do your F.E.A.R.'s prevent you from achieving your goals?
- What are the costs of not achieving your goals?
Week 3 - Making Change: To make a change, start small. Take normal routines and do them differently - drive to work a different way, do your grocery shopping at a different store. Make small changes to impact larger changes! Week 4 - The if in Your Life: - The if in Life represents the choices we make to create the life we want.
- Are you powerfully choosing your life?
As your coach I want to encourage you to dream wildly, love wholeheartedly, persevere relentlessly, believe in yourself unwaveringly and give abundantly! If you are new this week...welcome...let's make 2010 your best year yet! For a recap of what we've covered during January see above or visit the archives. In February we will move on to loving yourself, self confidence and loving others. God Bless, Margaret. | | | | This Week's Topic: Loving...You Dear Friend, "Love is a many splendored thing,
Love lifts us up where we belong,
All you need is love!" February is, after all, the month of love and so this month we're going to focus on love. We began this year with the notion that to change the world you must begin with yourself. The same premise, of course, holds true with love - we must love ourselves before we can truly love another. Derek Walcott expresses this self-love in his poem, Love After Love, beautifully. The time will come when, with elation You will greet yourself arriving At your own door, in your own mirror And each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life. This week read the poem Love After Love by Derek Walcott several times. What does the poem say to you? Feast on your life - this week take one step to build your love for you. Ideas include: -
Begin a gratitude journal -
Positive affirmations -
Declare no negative thoughts - when they drift in, release them -
Let go of negative self talk -
Remove all self deprecating language from your conversations -
Release the "should's" and enjoy exactly who and what you are right now! -
a walk in the park -
a pedicure, in the winter -
a new "do" for your hair -
an afternoon of tea and reading -
fun time with friends -
a cooking class -
a dance lesson -
do something new that you've always wanted to try May you be blessed for you are a blessing! | | | Encourage your friends, family, and colleagues by sharing this newsletter with them and invite them to subscribe!
