How to Create A Desire Statement That Works. Copyright Jenni Parker Brown 2012
There is a blue-print for creating the circumstances that support your desires. If you follow that blue-print, and you practise it every day, the universe will tilt on its axis to serve your commands. 1. It begins with a creating a desire statement (an intention) of something you want. 2. We must clarify what beliefs we carry around that subject, consciously and subconsciously, and silence any inner, doubting voices. 3. Then, we have to release the desire and let it go. Yes, I know that seems like a paradox but it's actually in the releasing of it that it can manifest! The purpose of the Desire Statement is to support you in giving attention, energy and focus to your desires. It teaches you how to 'language' desires so they feel good. The clarity and the 'feel-good' emotions are then the magnet to set the universal cogs in motion. Language is one of the most powerful engines of manifestation, so words, tone and the emotions they evoke, are crucial. The key to crafting a powerful Desire Statement is: it needs to be TRUE for you. I recommend the formula: "I love how it feels knowing...."
Using this sentence allows you to state your desire in a way that makes it ring true for you. When it is true for you, your vibration rises. A Desire Statement defines your individual vision of success and happiness It's a kind of 'hologram' of data launched out into the quantum soup or Universal Creative Power. This vision is a tool, a “mental short-cut,� that we can use during our everyday lives and our meditation and/or visualization sessions, to access Universal Creative Power with immediate effect. With practice and focus we can manifest virtually instantaneous results.
1. First we have to know what it is we really want. Clarity is essential. 2. Then we have to craft the statement of desire. This is best done on paper; it 'stabilises' the desire. The act of writing on paper is like writing to your soul. So find a place where you won't be disturbed and take some time to feel focused and relaxed. When writing the Desire Statement, be mindful of your language . You must make statements that will prevent any doubt arising around that desire. For example, say you want to be a best-selling romance author. Write your statement in the present tense and in the first person. Instead of saying, “I will become a best-selling romance author” (which may trigger feelings of being far from competent at even getting a publisher) dive in with your senses and express what you know you'll feel like when you've accomplished your desire. For example.. “I love how it feels when I think of becoming a best-selling romance author.” Or, “I love envisioning my future website, which will feature dozens of my romance novels.” These statements are true for you! They don’t permit doubt to enter and they allow you to pay attention to the emotions created by the desire―which is the ultimate goal of the exercise.
Aside from making the Desire Statement, there is another way we can give attention to your desire – simply by spending time imagining it! Use all of your senses in your vision. Wallow in it, fantasize! As children we do this naturally but then it is conditioned out of many of us. Don't be afraid to dream big. 'Divine will 'wants what you want and no dream is ever too big for god! There are many great leaders to support that.
The
very best way of creating a desire statement is to write it as if it was a present chapter of your life. Rather than just pad out your goals, be creative about everything that's happening around the projected outcome. In fact, be creative, full stop! Many years ago, I painted a lady on a white Spanish horse, long before I had one. Now, when I look at the painting, I see my profile and my beloved unicorn in the field outside. First, brainstorm a list of possible limiting beliefs. Sit down with a pad of paper, and write down everything that comes to mind when you think of the desire you’re wanting to manifest. Just be spontaneous. Don't hold back! Using the example of “I want to be wealthy”, write down all the “Buts” that come up for you: “I want to be wealthy BUT..............” Fill your page until you run out of buts. Another easy way of unearthing a limiting belief is to go back to your past. Identify someone who played a dominant role in your upbringing this person could have been a parent, a teacher, a relative, a neighbour, a family friend … anyone who had influence over you as a child. Ask yourself, “What would he/she tell me about being wealthy?”
Now write down all the possible disadvantages of you achieving your goals. Until now you've been concentrating on seeing and feeling all of the benefits of your success. But actually we must go deeper into the implications of your desires to see where the limiting beliefs lie. So, next, write down some possible disadvantages of fulfilling your dream. This may seem really hard at first ,but once you get going, you'll actually find a whole flow of thoughts which will show you the way to the limiting beliefs. For example... let's take a nice positive desire statement. “I am thrilled that I've doubled my income this year from my business” Now find all of disadvantages.. these infer..
the may
I'll pay more tax on it. I'll have to get better at accounting. I'll never be able do that! I'll have to stop giving excuses about not doing xxxxx I'll lose this tax advantage... I'll no longer be entitled to.....xxxxx I won't feel at ease with the different choices I'll have to make.. So and so is going to ask me for some of it... So and so is going to judge/dislike me/be jealous..
Ok, I know it sounds weird, why would there be disadvantages in being wealthy? Well there aren't, but nevertheless, we carry around both the 'buts' and the barriers in our subconscious mind. By bringing them to the light of day, we can recognise them as simply the false concepts that they are, and deal with them by focusing on each one and taking an action step on it. For example, we could begin by doing smart accounts, in advance of earning vast income. Or in buying luxuious gifts for so and so, or doing some research on the fiscal implications of doubling your income. Language is one of the most powerful attraction (or not) tools that we have. And a very effective way of getting rid of a limiting belief is to re-frame it into a positive belief. So let’s say your belief about yourself is “I’m just not the kind of person who makes a lot of money.” It’s kind of a nebulous, 'applies-to-allsituations' kind of belief. So it holds you back, perfectly, from getting what you want. Re-frame this limiting belief by writing, “I am the kind of person who makes money easily and effortlessly. I live a very abundant life, simply because I AM the kind of person to whom financial wellbeing flows”.
This is an exercise to keep personal and private with yourself, because most other people will automatically have a counter-balancing perception that they project on to you, if you're openly vocal with your desires. However, in order for you to have no inner conflict about this, you must feel aligned in thought, word and deed when talking to others. So use the language of intention and openness when conveying your desires. Use words that allow possibility to flow around them, all the time. This means eliminating complaining about anything at all. It means being mindful of the monkey-mind chatter that tends to put us on 'auto-speak'. Speaking our dreams may shock other people and you must have the courage of your convictions to do this consistently. So launch those desires, tie them upon the winds and the trees, see them, live them and let them go! Blowing Dream Warrior dust on them... Jenni P

10 Ways to Eat your Way to WELLth! By Jenni Parker Brown
I am often asked how I have kept the same dancer's body for 30 years, how I am never sick, can carry heavy horse grain sacks and can run up mountains. A trained sports instructor and dancer, former owner of a highly successful organic food business, daily fitness routine and healthy nutrition are but a part of the formula. One of my most effective secrets is 'The Art of The Table'. The art of the table is unfortunately a dying culture in this epoch of instant and packet everything (even so-called health foods!) But it is one to which I directly attribute my superlative health. We are what we eat yes, but we are, equally, what we think about what we eat! Here are my top ten tips for eating your way to WELLth or... WELLthy Mind, WELLthy Body!
1. Eat natural, organic, free-range and seasonal foods that are indigenous to your area. Find the combinations of foods that optimise your health and stop dieting! Eat foods that have had the minimum processing, as fresh as possible! 2. Eat only things that are grown in the earth, on bushes, trees, in the sea or happily running around a farmyard with TLC. (Yes I was a veggie but it didn't suit my physiology). 3. Prepare food mindfully, with the intention of love, nourishment and sharing. Remember, everything vibrates with energy so imbue what you eat with lifeenhancing virtues. What could be more important! Bless your dinner before eating! 4. Make of your plate an artist's palette! Unleash your creative skill in the presentation of any dishes, even the simplest snack. The eyes will feast upon the ingredients and render them a feast for your palette. No skimping! 5. Take time not to eat, but to dine. We need time to prepare, eat, savour, digest and rest. Meals and snacks in front of the computer are taboo. This is like putting inanimate gunge into your precious body. Stop it!!! 6. Make of your table an alter. Pretty linen, cotton serviettes and arranged cutlery are as quick to put on the table as packets, paper and plastic. A table is a shrine to the sacred nutrition you cherish yourself with so garnish with candles, flowers, leaves, fruit, little objects of artistic interest. 7. Eat less food and drink more water! We all eat more than is necessary. When you eat small portions, you can anything you like! Water is life itself, so carry it around with you all day. I eat 2 meals and a few healthy snacks but I do not deny myself treats when I want them. 8. Eat as much raw as you can. At least 60% of your regimen, but be sensible about your climate and energy needs. In snowy altitudes, raw green smoothies may give you less pleasure than nourishing soups. It's easier to Iove salads in warm climates! I add raw foods to my cooked foods (yes I know some say its taboo but it works for me!) 9. Love your body and listen to it. If you really listen to it, it will tell you when it's had enough food! Wean yourself off poisons like white sugar, saturated fats and monosodium glutomate. Learn about the nutrients you need every day and get them in! 10. The person in the mirror every day will tell you if you're getting it right so listen and most of all keep telling that person how young and amazing they are. Repeat daily! Added to these 10 tips, there is one very powerful dynamic for improving health and fitness. It is gratitude. There is never a day that goes by without me giving thanks for my vibrant health and I know beyond a doubt that this appreciation keeps on expanding into lasting youthfulness. There really is no one regimen and routine that suits all people. Nutrition is a science that we should all learn! But it is also a culture of social sharing and a fine art of deliberate creation. The more we feel good, the higher the vibrations that attract abundance, so Let's Get WELLthy!
How to Vanquish Your 5 Dream-demons Demon No 1 SIC! The first Dream Demon is the Sabotaging Inner Critic. This demon is the omnipresent shadow who is always looking over your shoulder, whispering just beneath your hearing, all the reasons why you're not ever going to get what it is you want. SIC says things like: 'What You? Rich and Famous? Don't make me laugh! You're far too small/untalented/inadequate/unworthy/afraid/stupid/tired/poor/inept/fat/pa thetic....' or, 'They will laugh at you' 'You can't' 'It's impossible' 'You've got too much else to do!' 'You're too old!' 'You can't afford it' This dream-demon has probably been following you around for such a long time you didn't even notice it slip into your space and tint your rosy dream visions with streaks of toxic grey. The demon appears when you're right on the brink of achieving something bright, momentous, promising, exciting and either, the demon wreaks havoc with your good intentions and affirmations, circumstances become highly complex or life just falls apart. Maybe there are let-downs, or things don't evolve in the way that they seemed to promise. Maybe you get poorly or have a slight accident or lose a contract. Maybe someone will take issue with your developments or even oppose your wishes. What seemed so bright and glittery for such a long time will seem like a pathetic idea when the Dream-demon gets hold of it and drenches it in scorn. The Dream-demon is so stealthy and sinister, that you might even start believing that you had made a huge mistake in ever believing that your vision was possible.
SIC carries the weight of ancient disapproval, either the judgements carried around from the darker scriptures of Judao-Christianity , possibly from the separation of racism or the controlling voices of 'authority ' - our parents and governments. Many of us have grown up in a patriarchal ruling environment where disapproval or punishment were the automatic result of daring to show one's essence (which holds the keys to our dreams). We all know the strict codes of conformity that run throughout our culture and strangle many a genius idea. Or it may just be that the knocks of life itself, have been the compounding element. This is the SIC that comes from the inside of us. When something seems to go mightily 'wrong' in our life, we usually mentally beat ourselves up and make confirmations to our subconscious about what it was that went wrong, making sure we don't repeat it ever again. The ancient Japanese martial art of Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. By doing Aikido with your SIC demon, you can transform the nagging, irritating Sabotaging Inner Critic that holds you back from being your greatest, into an ally. First, acknowledge it, stop trying to shut its voice out. As with anything that we resist, the voice will persist and get louder until its made its point and got its own way. The trick to grasp here, is that the SIC voice is elusive. If you sit down and invite the demon in, it'll be nowhere to be found. It's hiding, awaiting it's chance to pounce. Because it stalks your breakthroughs and tried to sabotage them. You have to get yourself to the brink of a success step, for it to steal up unawares, and slide back into your party incognito.
So, the time to turn and look the demon in the face is actually when you're dancing on the ceiling in celebration of imminent change. Just when you're ringing your friends and family to announce the good news or make a positive change in your life, just take a few moments to contain the exhilaration, go where you'll not be disturbed and invite the demon in. Call its bluff. Go within, and eke it out for that's where it lurks. Call it forth, name it and write it down. Maybe it's the 'You're-not-good-enough demon', or the 'You're-too-old demon'. Name it on paper and write to it.
'Dear Dream-demon., now that there's really super project about to happen I want a few words...' Now, send it love. Tell it that you know it's hovering about nearby, that you understand its game and are having none of it. Tell it that you really appreciate its point of view, and thank it for trying to 'save' you from happiness but you are determined and already pre-set for happiness. Take any possible threat , bring it right out into the light of day and love it into nothingness. This is the only way to rid the demons; love them and they will frizzle up and whisk away in a puff of dream dust. Nothing can resist the power of love, and our demons are no exception. In fact it is highly possible that they will come out of hiding with a treasure chest of insights of how we can improve on our vision, dream or goal. There may indeed be something even better in store than we had hoped for. The more thrilling the dream, the harder SIC will work to undo it, if we're not mindful and 'heartful' of the meddling. So wait for the up-swell of jubilation or enthusiasm about an upcoming, thrilling evolution or event, but don't wait until SIC wrecks your hard-earned satisfaction.
Acknowledge the shadow side of all life briefly and compassionately, hug it and love it for showing you how much you're committed to your dream and what steps you need to take next.
I love you. Now go away!

7 Winning Ways to Keep Your Clients Coming Back for More: How to Win Customer Loyalty ©Melissa Galt 2012 One of the greatest mistakes business owners make in their business, particularly when times are tough, is spending more effort on chasing new clients than on diving deep into the gold mind of existing clients and customers. It costs 60% more to obtain a new customer than it does to serve the ones you already have. The key is to create an indelible bond with your customers so that they never even consider going anywhere else. This means that you are rising head and shoulders above the competition and “becoming a category of one” company as my colleague Joe Calloway says. Your customers aren’t doing business with you based on price, but instead based on the incredible value you bring and the personality and character you embody. I like to think of it as creating a codependent relationship. It is unhealthy in romance, but profitable in business. Here is how! Here are 7 winning ways to keep your clients coming back for more: Really get to know your client. When you know more you can connect more deeply and more relevantly. It is about their lifestyle, their hobbies, their business, their family, their travel, and their health. Be a go to resource for other service providers and products your client needs. You are only as good as your rolodex or database (today’s lingo), don’t be shy about referring to others when it is appropriate. It keeps you top of mind. Create opportunities to celebrate wins along the way when you work on extended term projects and contracts with your client. Maybe you take them to dinner, or provide a pair of hard to get tickets to an event you know they’d enjoy. Be ready with a solution before you share any challenge. Just sharing a challenge isn’t inherently helpful, but showing your client you already have a solution and are ready to act on it, reinforces your value as an expert. Turn your clients into friends! Most often when you truly enjoy doing business with someone, the relationship will morph to personal friendship as well as professional service. Putting them in your social loop ensures greater access and exposure. Stay in touch with your clients, not just through email. Use handwritten notes and cards, they are very rare and appreciated. Create an anniversary for each client, perhaps the start date of your first project or contract. Send a note of thanks for their business and a goody to remind them of your value. Want more? With pleasure..

...perceptions on affluence..
By Don Wells Freedom Lifestyle Consultant and Image Mentor
Time to Thrive … or Not By Sharon O’Day Nero supposedly fiddled while Rome burned. So … now that Athens is just about burning, what are you doing? Particularly as business owners, in today’s economic turmoil there is no greater time to be perfectly clear about who we are, what we do better than anyone else, why we’re special and what we’re doing to be sure we’ll be okay financially in the long term. Why do I say this? Because, as conscious entrepreneurs, some among us are far too tempted to assume something or someone will intervene and make everything okay. We were raised that way. And we weren’t raised to address money issues head on. In fact, for some of us, just talking about money isn’t “nice.” That might sound crazy. After all, we’re successful entrepreneurs, even world changers. But down deep, all too often, is a little girl still carrying some of the messages absorbed in childhood. And what is one way those messages might manifest themselves? Well, I recently read an article by Forbes staff writer Jenna Goudreau entitled “Why Do Women Round Down When Men Round Up?” Her premise was that, whereas men stretch numbers (and everything else in life) upward, we women shrink everything down. Including our qualities and capabilities.
This was based on a piece out of Harvard Business Review insinuating that women in all professional settings are held back by this tendency to minimize our talents, skills and experience. The conclusion was that we focus on the glass half empty, rather than the glass half full. We are afraid … to make mistakes, look dumb or fall short of being perfect. Valerie Young, Ed.D, author of The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women, concludes that “Being female means you and your work automatically stand a greater chance of being ignored, discounted, trivialized, devalued or otherwise taken less seriously than a man’s.” Hogwash. I say that, by the time you’re anything over 30, hopefully you’re long past what to me sounds like self-victimization. “Woe is me. I wasn’t good at math. I have no control over my own destiny. I have to accept the crumbs that are left to me.” You do have choices in life. You can either buy into what’s being perpetuated in the media or you can decide that it doesn’t pertain to you. And here’s why it’s particularly important to straighten out your attitude soon. (If not yesterday.)
1. Get your head out of the sand. 2. Get real about your life and your money. 3. Stop procrastinating or lying to yourself. 4. Ignore what anyone says you can or can’t do. 5. Figure out where you want to be.
The clarion call has sounded. Unless you’re already financially secure for life, this is no time to play small. Instead, it’s time to “get real.” No one is going to come save you. It’s up to you to figure out what you need to live today and what you’ll need in the future. It’s time to get real about what you have and what you don’t … what’s important to you and what’s not. (Protect what’s important and shed the rest.) Nothing in the U.S. or the world economy indicates that we’re on a path to great economic improvement or growth. Nor will we be seeing “pre-2007” conditions again for the foreseeable future. This does not mean there are no opportunities out there. They just don’t look like they used to, and you’ll have to be more creative to unearth them. But they’re there. As economies shift, more opportunities bubble up than during stable times. But you will have to identify true needs and fulfill them. Brilliantly. And you can. But you need to be coming from a place of financial strength, not from confusion or weakness. So, especially if you don’t have a decade or two to waste before starting to get serious about your future finances, my recommendations are the following for anyone not already set for life:
6. Put together a step-by-step plan to get there. 7. Get help if you need it. 8. Take the first steps. 9. And keep going.
Any woman willing to step forward, with clarity of purpose … and a plan … will not only find the opportunities brought on by changing times. She’ll also thrive and achieve the financial freedom she so desires. What about you? Copyright Sharon O'Day 2012 Bio: Sharon O’Day lost everything at age 53: her home, her business, everything.

For love nor money dzai – the make-it-come-troubadour Recently I was asked (and not for the first time) if I would rather have loads of money than an intensely loving relationship. And once again I thought what a bizarre question it was, and how much it said about the state of mind of the person asking it. It’s like asking if I’d rather have an agile arm than a powerful leg or rather have a bedroom than a bathroom. I’ll have them both thanks and equally – it’s not like they are mutually exclusive. Or are they? Where has all the romance with money gone to? Why do people find it inappropriate to be in a loving relationship with the means of exchange? And conversely why do they want to put their most intimate friendship under the extreme challenge of not caring at all about money?
'Love without money is just as complex a dance as money without love' I am increasingly suspicious of people who claim they are not bothered whether they have much money or not. Usually they hide themselves under codes of eco-ness or spirituality or virtue and consider the possessors of money as inferior or deluded. The fact that flashes like a neon eye-ball is that you can be so much more eco-effective and spread your spiritual awareness so much further when you have a steady stream of wealth. The idea of that idyllic romance where you live off the scent of daffodils and drink the lyrical song of the nightingale and care not a whit for ‘filthy lucre’ belongs to cheap novels suffocated in clichés. Love without money is just as complex a dance as money without love.
'Greater love hath noone than to enable the object of their adoration to be financially independent for life.' Copyright http://adelarubio.com
It makes so much more sense to love yourself enough to learn how to use the systems of abundance our collective consciousness has devised. In fact greater love hath no-one than to enable the object of their adoration to be financially independent for life. Empowering someone to cut through the cruddy thinking that has trapped them in a poverty cycle and to embrace the abundance that is their birthright…now that is the subject for moonlight serenades and skipping through daisies.
'wrap your love around the possibilities of expressing your abundance' And even the icons of poverty – such as Mother Theresa – were adept at directing substantial flows of money where they saw the need. She knew that money has God’s face stamped on it and denying the flow of it is denying a part of our own divinity. From when we bartered, to when we exchanged coins, to when we exchanged paper, to our ‘virtual’ agreements of today, the process is life-affirming and sacred. To look at it any other way is an unskilful choice with significant consequences. Eventually daffodil scent and nightingale lyric alone will not be enough. To deepen the relationship with your lover, you need to be financially transparent. Both of you must understand from where and how the money comes and share responsibility for living life to the full with it. Then wrap your love around the possibilities of expressing your abundance yet more substantially and open one of the thousands of lucrative doorways that are just bursting to open for you.
'Hang-gliding over Niagara Falls with your love on yet another two-week break that you can easily afford… now that sounds terrifyingly romantic.' Dzai is currently restoring the balance in his own life. Having allowed a mighty flow of love and a lesser flow of money, He is equalizing the flows (not by reducing the love but by upgrading the money ). Love-struck millionaire or moneyful valentine – which ever way round you choose to put it – it beats scrimping and struggling!

I am already immensely wealthy and, through stillness I daily open portals to this evidence. I understand that giving excellent value to the world harnesses the powerful law of consequence That which I offer is returned to me manifold All the information I could possibly need for learning about allowing affluence is available to me easily and immediately.

Practical Ways to Survive the Global Financial Melt-Down By Sharon Waring
Design For Life Coaching UK
How can we achieving and maintain financial independence in the current financial landscape? For many, financial independence is about having enough money to pay the bills with enough left over for holidays and treats and savings. It means that as long as some folks have a regular income they remain independent of any other financial assistance. For others it’s about stepping off the wheel and means having the freedom of choice to do whatever they want whenever they want. For me it’s about having the security and freedom to be creative and means I am more at peace by living out my purpose and passion. What does financial independence mean to you? Please jot that down. Eyes Wide Open You might be asking why you should be interested in this article if things are ticking along nicely for you and you already see yourself as financially independent. Okay then, let's widen the lens for a minute and look at some of the financial issues that have dominated the news for a while. The hard facts Unless you never do the food shopping or pay the heating bills or fill the car with fuel you will know that living costs have been rising for a while now and continue to do so. This is primarily the result of Inflation. Inflation = higher priced commercial and consumer goods and services including essentials like food, fuel, raw materials and travel. So how did we end up with this inflation?
A quick history... In basic terms, when a country prints money to spend its way out of debt then that money becomes worth less and less. That's why the price of goods and services increase. And how did we get into debt in the first place? Ah well, here's where it gets interesting (and frankly shocking). I recommend you watch the “Money As Debt" animation on YouTube which explains in easy terms how the banks literally built their empire out of promises and thin air using a system called fractional reserve banking. (See film here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc3sKwwAaCU)
Quite simply, the way the banks have built their business is nothing less than legitimised fraud and endorsed by governments around the world. You and I would be locked up for a very long time if we attempted to run our businesses in the same way - try printing money and see what happens! Anyway, if you're serious about looking after your finances you will need your eyes wide open. Please watch the film and judge for yourself. The avaricious banks and power-hungry governments are main contributors to this debt and have created a legacy which goes beyond the comprehension of the average person. Try getting your head around this; if every single tax payer in the USA and Europe handed over all of their assets, their economies still wouldn't be out of debt! So how are the powers that be going to balance their sheets? They can only print money for so long before a currency collapses and we run into hyper-inflation. The central banks will have to look to governments, and governments will again look to.. yep, you and I, the tax-payer and consumer to cough up. There's no escaping it. Now if a government can't bail the banks out and reduce the national debt then why would it be conceivable to think for a minute that it can help its citizens? It's going to be down to every individual to take personal responsibility for their own financial security. Those that don't will at best be left bewildered and angry. At worst? Look at Greece..
The outlook Over the next couple of years we'll continue to see most of our living costs rise; increases in fuel prices means increased delivery costs of consumer goods as well as increases to our heating bills. Many salaries will remain frozen and bank interest rates are likely to rise within the next 2 years. Businesses will go bust (this could include banks too) and people will lose their jobs. So here's the good news. Forewarned is forearmed and you'll become aware of how to shield yourself against the brewing storms before it’s too late. PRACTISE GOOD HABITS Here's what you can do that will IMMEDIATELY improve your financial situation and TAKE OFF SOME OF THE PRESSURE. 1. Credit Card: Do yourself a massive favour and cut all of your credit cards up into tiny pieces. YOU DO NOT NEED A CREDIT CARD TO SURVIVE ! in spite of what you’ve been brainwashed into thinking by the banks. 2. Subscriptions: If you don't actually read all of those magazines and newspapers then cancel your subscription. You can find a lot of information on the internet for free. Don't have a computer or internet? Your local library does. 3. Memberships: Cancel the golf or gym membership and look at more cost-effective options; cheaper clubs, off-peak use etc. or alternative forms of exercise that cost little or nothing. Cut down on buying those habitual ‘treats’ or doing retail therapy to make you feel better about not having enough money. Another pair of shoes or trainers that you don't really need will not help you walk or run to financial independence! 4. Car Fuel: is there a cheaper way to get around? Ask around about car sharing or use public transport. Travel off-peak when you can if using trains. More and more employers are open to staff flexi-time. Cycling and walking will bring the obvious additional benefits.

5. Get all household out-goings on direct debit. This will save you money and help you to budget each month. But first check whether each bill will be cheaper by paying it this way. Some might be cheaper to pay annually in which case it’s a good idea to put that money aside each month. 6. Re-negotiate: Speak to your mortgage lenders; are you getting the best deal? Compare insurance companies and utility providers at least once a year. Yes it can be boring but incredibly satisfying too when it puts money back in your pocket. 7. Food: How can you reduce your weekly shopping bills? If you live close to food shops then consider buying food as you need it rather than in bulk or if you like to do one main shop then order what you need on-line. You'll throw a lot less away. Unless it suits your family size, say BOGOF (Buying Over-excessively Grinds One’s Finances) to the false-economy supermarket deals! Clear out your food cupboard/larder and use up the stuff at the back (if it's not out of date). 8. Pay cash for everything. It’s true, we do think twice about parting with hard cash whereas parting with cash using plastic is all too easy. Set yourself a budget each week and only carry the cash you need. Don’t be afraid to ask for cash discounts in shops – they have already bumped their prices up to accommodate their credit card charges. I challenge you to try some, or all of the above for the next 28 days. This is how long it takes to create a new habit so really stick with it. No doubt you can come up with some fantastic ideas of your own, and when you do it would be great to hear about it! So we’ve looked at changing some of our lifestyle habits to free up or create extra money that will help buffer us from the worst financial storms.
Good luck! Sharon www.designforlifecoaching.com

Stress ~
The No 1 Blocker of Abundance (and how to unblock it!) By Julie Nelson
How can we make the changes we need to, to reduce stress? You need to understand what is causing your stress. Understand and recognise the symptoms. How stress affects your health How to manage stress Stress, health and our well-being are all related! Alarmingly 91% of adult Australians feel stress in at least one important area of their lives. Almost 50% feel very stressed about one part of their life – Lifeline Australia.
Australian employees are absent for an average of 3.2 working days each year through stress. This workplace stress costs the Australian economy approximately $14.2 billion – Medibank
Stress is a top health concern for U.S. teens between 9th and 12th grade, psychologists say that if they don’t learn healthy ways to manage that stress now, it could have serious long-term health implications –American Psychological Association. Approximately 13.7 million working days are lost each year in the UK as a result of
work-related illness at a cost of £28.3 billion per year – National Institute for Health
and Clinical Excellence.
Aromatherapy is recognised as one of the most successful treatments for reducing stress, uplifting our emotions and improving our health and well-being.
Aromatherapy is the controlled use of essential oils  to improve our health and well-being psychologically, emotionally, physiologically and spiritually. Smell has a direct link to the limbic system, this includes the thalamus and
hypothalamus. This area of the brain is responsible for controlling various functions of our body for example, hormonal levels, sensory perception, fear anger, sexual enjoyment, eating, memories and emotional responses. When we inhale an aroma that we like it will have an immediate and positive effect. Next time you use your favourite essential oil/s take notice of how you respond and feel. Is there a smile on your face? Do you feel calmer? Have any happy memories been evoked?
Sweet scents are the swift vehicles of still sweeter thoughts‌ ~Walter Savage Lander Lavender is calming, nurturing, supportive, relaxing
Neroli is considered a rescue remedy to the nervous system Rose is all about love, peacefulness, calming Frankincense is relaxing, soothing, grounding Lemon is for clarity of thoughts, happiness, joy Bergamot is light heartedness, happiness, refreshing, encouraging Mandarin is gentle, happy, playful, creative
Sandalwood is calming, peaceful, grounding, strengthening Geranium is balancing, supportive, uplifting, encouraging There are many essential oils to choose from and are safe to use in your essential oil burner, diffuser or as a room spray. Choose Essential oils that you resonate with and enjoy the scent of, for when you breathe in an aroma that you like, you will immediately have a positive physical and emotional response.

Bunches of Blissdom Reactions – 2 So how do you react to bankers paying themselves millions? Do you fulminate at the head-hammering injustice of it or are you secretly envious and wishing you knew how? Do you painstakingly reassure yourself money is not all and that there are so many other ways to be happy? or do you fantasize about the fact they might be ugly or unhappy or unloved or unfulfilled? Does it out-rage you that flawed bankers might be very wealthy and very happy and very beautiful and very generous and very much in love with life? Would it be easier to handle if they earnt their money riding the storm-waves of the North Atlantic and ripping their hands to shreds on trawler nets? Or do you remember that here is a mirror an actual reflection of part of you an aspect of your all-embracing godliness? Bless them for doing their dance. Find a way of carrying them lightly with you or they will clog up your own mechanism for joy.

The Effortless Path to Discovering your Life's Purpose
“Where Passion is primary, and joy and fulfilment are everyday experiences�. Chris Attwood
Janet Bray Attwood
Passion arises from the heart and the purpose of The Passion Test process is to connect you with the things you love most. This includes the things you love doing, the people you love being around, the places where you love to spend time, the kinds of environments you love being in, and the things you love having. Meaning arises from living a life connected to what you love. Thus, the real purpose of The Passion Test is to help you open your heart. A great sage once said: "If you could only love enough, you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world." A recent survey showed that four out of five Americans are not passionate about their lives. Unhappiness in work or love, with money or weight, all contribute to the number of people just going through the motions, not really living life to the fullest. How can they discover their passions and begin really living? The life changing answer is found in THE PASSION TEST by visionaries Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood. Accessible to anyone, of any faith, from any background, THE PASSION TEST is the only method that takes participants beyond principles to experience the transformation that occurs when they take the time to determine what really matters most to them in their lives. The Passion Test shows readers step by step how to identify their top five passions, and then provides the guidance to align one's life with these passions. Unlike other books and methods that talk only about the importance of living one's passion, what sets this book apart is that it takes readers step-by-step through HOW to create and live a life based on one's deepest passions.
