How
To Ride Today's Wave
It takes courage to ride a big wave. You
have to resist your instinct to run, hide,
fall off or sink. But, if you manage to
ride it out - it can really take you places!
Focus on Fundamentals
Life is Sweet
It really is. It doesn't matter what the
global markets are doing. Either way,
it's a miracle to be alive. What keeps
you connected with your love for life?
Meditation? Running? Reading inspiring
stories? Playing with children? Do it!
Do it a LOT! When
you maintain your love for life every
day you will become a source of strength
for everyone around you.
People can have a scarcity consciousness
even when they have money. It doesn't
take much turbulence in the markets for
people to get scared. Those who have lost
a lot of money, or are in danger of losing
a lot of money, might find it challenging
to recognize the perfection of their situation
right now.
The trick to being empowered during challenging
situations is to look for, recognize and
reorient around the perfection you can
see. Respond versus react. Believe that
everything is happening to serve you and
your purest intentions in some way. When
you know this you can maintain your sense
of JOY in any situation.
Take
Time For You
There are several productive ways to
deal with a slow time or a transition.
1) Use the time to rest. Perhaps you
have been running hard for a while and
a time of rest is being served up for
you as if by design! Don't underestimate
the raw power of billions of thoughts
and feelings like: "I can't keep
going like this. I need a break!".
OK, here is your break! Here is you opportunity
to find something new!
2) Learn new skills. Learn something
that will expand or improve what you have
to offer.
Contribute to Community
"Wealth
is what you have left when all of your
money is gone" - Roger Hamilton,
Author of Wealth Dynamics
Now is the time to embrace
generosity. Remember that wealth has many
forms; Nine according to my model: Knowledge,
Experience, Talent, Character, Community,
Spiritual connection, Health, Financial
and Relationship. SHARE what you have
in abundance. Add value to your community
for the joy of it.
Live Your Life
as A Game
PLAY! Take
your attention off of yourself - and put
your attention on your game. Most of whom
and what you think you are is a story
anyway. What you think and feel about
money is definitely a story you learned
a long time ago. We have less control
over what is happening in our lives than
we imagine we do; that includes when things
are rosy too!
The business or career and financial
freedom games you are playing are serious
games. Right now the scores might not
look so good by the standards you have
set. Remember it is a game.
So, as long as the game is still in your
heart, keep playing! Focus your attention
on playing a little better every day,
NOT on the scoreboard.

Extreme Self Care
EXTREME
is not a term often associated with the
idea of self-care. Self-care is about
gentleness, tenderness, loving yourself,
and being nurturing. People do not often
think of taking extreme action when it
comes to self-care.
What “extreme” is
really about is trying something new,
doing what you’ve never done in
order to have what you’ve never
had —- pushing your own personal
limits in order to experience the fullness
of life.
By embracing the concept of EXTREME Self-Care,
you develop habits that will produce more
time, space, freedom and peace in your
life.
The areas of Extreme Self-Care that will
support you in achieving balance and well-being
are:
• Have little to no clutter
• Consume minimal fat/sugar/alcohol/caffeine
• Vigorously move your body
• Tap into the perfect sources of
nourishment for you
• Change all that is consuming you
• Connect with something much larger
than yourself
• Leave nothing unsaid
• Reduce fear, doubt and worry
• Develop a set of ten key daily
habits
In the Extreme
Self-Care Coaching Program you will learn:
1) Why you should focus on Extreme Self-Care
as a priority in your life.
2) How you can enjoy Extreme Self-Care.
3) How to develop creative ways for Extreme
Self Care with a core group of people
exploring similar issues.
Other benefits
of this course include:

life fully

creativity and help you be more invigorated
Living in today’s world places
many demands on your body, mind, heart

own unique ways of thinking and use their
emotions as a biofeedback mechanism to
stay in touch with the causes of unhappiness.
Abraham
Maslow’s 8 Ways to Self-Actualize
1. Experience things fully, vividly,
selflessly. Throw yourself into the experiencing
of something: concentrate on it fully,
let it totally absorb you
2. Life is an ongoing process of choosing
between safety (out of fear and need for
defense) and risk (for the sake of progress
and growth): Make the growth choice a
dozen times a day.
3. Let the self emerge. Try to shut
out the external clues as to what you
should think, feel, say, and so on, and
let your experience enable you to say
what you truly feel.
4. When in doubt, be honest. If you
look into yourself and are honest, you
will also take responsibility. Taking
responsibility is self-actualizing.
5. Listen to your own tastes. Be prepared
to be unpopular.
6. Use your intelligence, work to do
well the things you want to do, no matter
how insignificant they seem to be.
7. Make peak experiencing more likely:
get rid of illusions and false notions.
Learn what you are good at and what your
potentialities are not.
8. Find out who you are, what you are,
what you like and don’t like, what
is good and what is bad for you, where
you are going, what your mission is. Opening
yourself up to yourself in this way means
identifying defenses - and then finding
the courage to give them up.
