5 Tips to Turn Your Plans Into Reality

By Nina East · Comments (0)
Friday, December 10th, 2010

Surely, you have big plans for your future. Since you’re in to personal growth, you have probably had many plans for the future, yes?

The thing is, a plan is just a dream without action to get the ball rolling towards your desired result. It’s time to put your fears and indecisiveness aside and pursue the reality that you know you deserve!
(Keep an eye out for next month’s summary – The Six Styles of Procrastination – for more on the “Dream Procrastinator” style.)

Try these proven tips to help you achieve your dreams:

1.    Know what you want.
Sounds simple, yet sometimes this is the biggest sticking point. It’s easy to identify what you DON’T want, but when it comes to what you DO want, are you crystal clear? Decisiveness leads to success. If you’re fickle about how you see your life in 5 years, or even just 6 months from now, you’ll keep spinning your wheels. Pick the road that is best for you and stick to it!

•    Ensure that your goal directly affects and benefits you. Let others worry about what’s best for them. For example, if you want your daughter to get into your state university because that’s your alma mater, she’s the one that has to make that call. You’re in charge of your own life, and only the decisions that affect you. Read More→

5 Reasons to Live in the Now

By Nina East · Comments (0)
Sunday, December 5th, 2010

As personal growth enthusiasts, we spend a lot of time thinking about and preparing for the future. Yes, we intend to live in the here and now, but it’s easy to get caught up in planning your future. Planning for a secure and happy future is an important undertaking, but too much attention to a time that is yet to come can greatly inhibit your ability to focus on the here and now.

One of my favorite quotes on this subject comes from Abraham Hicks:

“Satisfied with what is and eager for more – a perfect recipe.”

Right now, at this very moment, you can begin to enjoy your everyday life that is currently flashing unnoticed right before your eyes. There’s something beautiful about letting the future come naturally and living joyfully and willingly in the present moment!

If you’re having a hard time letting go long enough to be fully present in the moment, consider these five reasons that you should start living in the here and now:

1.      Each day, you grow older. Yep – happens for all of us. Each day of your life has the ability to be monumental, but each day only happens once. Every moment of every day, you’re given a chance to make a lasting memory. Create a memory that you’ll be proud to share.

  • Your fate is up to you. If you’re concerned about the future, Read More→

Persistence Pays – December self-help book summary & bonus content now available

By Nina East · Comments (0)
Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

All new December content is now available in the Members-Only Area.

This month’s featured book summary is the very popular Persistence Pays: How getting what you want is easier than you think, by Lori Raudnask.

persistencecover Persistence Pays   December self help book summary & bonus content now availableAs we approach the end of the year, inevitably we turn to thinking about our accomplishments and failures…as well as the soon-to-come New Year’s Resolutions.

Persistence Pays is the perfect resource for this annual journey.

When it comes down to it, most of us know what we want. And we know the actions we can (“should”) be taking to move us toward it, but we just don’t follow-through on a consistent basis.

That’s where Persistence comes in. In her interview, Lori Raudnask shares stories and experiences she has never shared with a group before. It’s these experiences that help you understand why persistence has become so important to her, and how you can tap into your own natural ways of persistence.
(As always, you can listen to the interview, or read the transcript – all in your members area.)

The book was originally written for sales people, to help them with their persistence, but it has quickly become a guidebook for anyone wanting to up-level their own persistence-ability. Ultimately, after all, the biggest sale you have to make is the one you make to yourself.

When you read the book summary, you will gain access to Lori’s strength in persistence as well as:

  • know the three elements of persistence
  • understand how the learning can be greater than the experience
  • know thekeys to adopting persistence
  • have a whole new perspective on being “relentless”
  • and understand why taking action QUICKLY is important to building persistence.

Included in this month’s material are two bonus items:

  1. a resource on Effortless Follow-Through (the BEST way to do follow-through, yes?)
  2. and a worksheet to assess your environment to see how and where it is set up to support you in following through effortlessly, and where you need to make some changes so you don’t have to rely on willpower so much.

Staying Positive When You Don’t Feel Like It

By Nina East · Comments (0)
Saturday, November 20th, 2010

Do you have days when you know it’s better to be upbeat and positive, but you just don’t feel like it? If you’re a human being, then your answer has to be yes. When you face challenges or feel overwhelmed by your responsibilities, it can be difficult to maintain a positive attitude.

The frustration, of course, is that staying positive is important for so many things in your life.

Here are a few techniques to improve your mood and experience the inner peace:

1.      Start your day with something positive. Decide each morning that you’ll start the day headed in the right direction. Instead of waking up on the wrong side of the bed and setting the stage for a grouchy day, resolve to experience something positive first thing in the morning.
Seriously – be deliberate about it!

  • Develop a morning routine that you can repeat daily to ease into your day’s responsibilities. Determine what activities help improve your mood and put you on the path to positive thinking. Find two or three things you can do each morning that will set the stage for a successful day. As these become habit, add to the routine little by little.
  • A routine will help your body and mind settle in and focus on what you need to accomplish. Instead of rushing around or forgetting important details, your plan will guide you through a peaceful set of steps that calm your mind and create unstoppable momentum.

2.      Set exciting goals. If you wake up each morning Read More→

Discovering Your Self-Worth – despite the circumstances

By Nina East · Comments (0)
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

Does life seem to be a struggle for you? Do you feel overwhelmed and frustrated much of the time? Do you wish you could experience something better? Fortunately, you can enjoy the exciting life you deserve…even when it seems like the world is against you.

Success is available to you despite challenging circumstances. It’s important to remember, also, that your self-worth is not defined by your circumstances.

What holds you back? Take some time today to question the beliefs you hold that limit your potential. If you look at a challenging circumstance as a wall that’s impossible to climb, you need a fresh perspective. Within you is everything you need to thrive and excel. The more you question the validity of your limiting beliefs, the more success you’ll experience in your life.

Think of a circumstance in your life that you believe is preventing you from something you want. Write it down, then get ready to challenge that limiting belief. If you do, you’ll begin to move toward the success you deserve.

Use these strategies to maintain a positive self-worth, regardless of your circumstances:

1.      Find the cause. What is the cause of the circumstance in your life? Sometimes, limiting beliefs can serve as warning signs that help you avoid danger. What can you learn from this so you avoid triggering a similar situation in the future?

  • If the cause of your situation is unclear, ask friends and family for their input. Others see your life from a different perspective, and their input can be valuable in determining the root of your difficulty.

2.      Get past the blame game. You can often be your own worst critic. Fortunately, negative self-talk often has very little basis in reality. Choose to replace the doubts of your inner critic with more productive thinking.

  • Once a negative thought has taught you its intended lesson, it has served its purpose. If you choose to hold onto those negative thoughts, they will begin to form a negative self-image in your mind. This unbalanced view of your talents and strengths holds you back.
  • Instead of dwelling on negative thoughts about your circumstances, learn the lesson and resolve to move on. Find out what you can do differently to avoid a repeat of your present situation. Then, when negative thoughts enter your mind, choose to replace your self-talk with productive thoughts instead. Read More→
