Manifesting 101: Commit To Yourself
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on December 31, 2008 - 6:48 am
Ready for real results in 2009? The first step on the road to success is to make a commitment to yourself. Whereas in years past, you may have put your wants, needs, and desires behind those of everyone else in your life (your boss, family, friends, pets, etc.), guess who comes first in 2009? You! And no, this isn’t called being selfish or self-indulgent. It’s called committing to the most important person in your life – Y-O-U.
So what do you want to manifest in 2009? A better job? An amazing life partner? A happy home? A more slender you? A deeper level of spirituality? Give yourself permission to dream big. Once your eye is on the prize, commit to it. And make an action plan for how you’ll get there. For example, if you want to become more healthy, strong, and/or fit in 2009, you may need to join a gym, hire a personal trainer, clean up your diet, and/or enlist group support in the form of Weight Watchers or Curves. If you want to find love in 2009, then you’ve got to get off your couch, into target rich environments on a regular basis, start online dating, and make yourself market ready.
By committing to yourself and your wants, needs, and desires, you greatly increase your chances of success in 2009. Good luck and happy manifesting!
2008: Take time to celebrate!
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on December 30, 2008 - 7:34 am
Be honest. What didn’t happen in 2008? If I’m totally transparent, I have to admit that I didn’t lose all the weight I wanted to. I also didn’t pay off all the debt I wanted to.
But while I didn’t lose 20 pounds or become completely debt-free in 2008, I did achieve other major milestones. I paid off my personal debt, leaving me only with business debt. I lost 10 pounds, a major coup for this yo-yo dieter. And there were other big and small victories along the way.
While it would be all too easy for me to look at 2008 and focus on the many things I didn’t quite accomplish, a healthier and happier way to look at things is to celebrate the little victories. And so I’m going to. I invite you to do the same. Make a list of at least 10 little victories you experienced in 2008. Give yourself credit for the great and small achievements in your life. Once you’ve made your list, review it. Celebrate it. Do a little victory dance! This is your chance to recognize your forward momentum. Honestly, the best gift you can give yourself in the new year? A pat on the back, Credit for coming as far as you did in 2008. And encouragement to keep going in the new year.
So, to kick things off, here are just some of the big and small victories I experienced this year:
1. Experiencing my dream wedding
2. Launching my coaching practice
3. Keeping my clients happy
4. Traveling abroad with Mr. XY
5. Studying with amazing teachers
6. Growing my business
7. Inviting my friends to join Mr. XY and I in Paris, and having a blast!
8. Finishing book #2 (due out in May ’09!)
9. Starting book #3
10. Taking better care of myself
Go ahead. Make your list. What great and small victories can you celebrate moving forward?
Back to Breakup Basics
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on December 29, 2008 - 6:59 am
Recently, one of my best girlfriends went through a breakup. And even though I spend almost every day talking about breakups, helping people heal, guiding individuals away from the pain of their past and into their magnificent futures, it’s been awhile since someone I knew personally got their heart broken.
It reminds me just how hard it is to start over again. Even when you know it’s the right thing to do. Even when you know he’s not capable of being your perfect partner. Even when the other areas of your life (career, friends, family, home, health, spirituality, etc.) rock.
Maybe it’s especially difficult when all of the other areas rock. Because it reminds you of what’s really missing. Someone to share it with.
My friend is doing everything right in rocking her recovery. She bought my book, signed up for my newsletter, is reading and following the advice in my emails, and is focused on her bright future.
She still cries. She still feels the loss. She still wonders why, in her mid-30s, she’s starting over yet again.
I remember feeling that way. I remember looking around at all of my happily hooked up friends who were married, starting families, their lives seemingly perfect. And there I was, once again single, once again starting over, once again on my own.
In hindsight, it was an exciting time for me. I got to reinvent myself. Got to loudly and proudly proclaim what I truly wanted in life. Got to date exciting, interesting, and amazing men. And eventually I met someone new, someone better suited for me. Someone I’m now blissfully married to.
I’m equally excited for this time in my friend’s life. I know amazing things are just around the corner for her. Her business is going to take off. Her new home, when she finds it, will be a sassy sanctuary for her. Unlike the sterile environment she shared with her ex, this new home will be filled with love, life, laughter. I’m excited to be a part of it! I’m excited to see what’s around the corner for her.
It’s funny. I get this way with my own clients, too. Once we move past the initial pain and heartache, we get to the good stuff. The juicy stuff. The Aha! moments of discovering that not only are you going to survive your breakup, but you’re going to thrive. And what comes next is truly divine – your new and improved happily ever after, a future you design, create, and manifest on your terms. Can I get a Woohoo!?
Here’s to your happily ever after, whatever it looks like. May you manifest it in 2009!
