ARE YOU IN CONTROL OF YOUR EMOTIONS?

I am a woman and in control of my emotions! Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think it was possible! Not me...no way....I am a woman...emotions control us, don't they?

Emotions are your reactions to situations in your present situation. As I have come to realize that in each and every situation I have a choice. Each and every day I choose before I get out of bed what kind of day I am going to have. How many people do that? Do you decide before getting out of bed that you have the possibility of having a great day? You should. It is a choice. So what if you day turns out bad, you don't have to RESPOND without control of your emotions.

I realize when you are in an awful situation you can't ignore it, but you can decide how you are going to react. You have not realized that up until this very moment you can carefully step back and reflect. This takes practice, that is all. Press on. No matter what, it could be worse. Choose to accept responsibility for your day, for your actions and choose not to lose control of your emotions. Did you know that 99% of your worst fears never arrive? You waste so much energy on the possibility you are missing out on the good stuff in life!

All emotions really are is a release. If you find you are feeling emotional, choose to accept responsibility for it and not fight it with everything you got. You will wear yourself out. You will constantly have this struggle within you to deal with. You are in fact every moment creating and making decision in your life and ALWAYS will be responsible for 100% of all things in your life including your reactions.

Now that you got that HUGE piece of wisdom, you can face it. Take ownership. You are no longer pretending to live your life, you don't have to. Relax with who you are and accept the possibility now that you are always deciding who you want to be, what you want to do and what you would like to have in your life.

Are You Being The Best Person You Can Be?

We tell our kids to do what we say but not what we do? Why is that? Why are you not being the best person you can be? Are you lazy? Do you hang out with other lazy people. What if your kids were behaving like you are, being lazy and unproductive. You would certainly not stand for that because you can see something that they cannot. You are guiding them as parents but you are no longer as an adult being responsible and learning and growing!

What type of friends do you hang out with? Are they successful and happy. You know that if your own kids hang out with kids who are lazy and prone for failure not to encourage your child to hang out with them. So why do as adults hang out with the wrong crowd?

We tell our kids to keep active and encourage them to read and do activities yet as adults we do not reap what we sow as well? Lots of adults sit down and just watch TV all evening and complain they don't have time.

I will give you an example of managing time: If you take a piece of paper 9 X 11 inches and turn it sideways so it is 11 X 9 and then fold it in 3 equal sections. Then look at those three sections as 8 hour blocks of time. The first section is 8 hours of sleep. The second section is 8 hours of work. The third section is 8 hours left in your day to accomplish your tasks. We each have the same 24 hours in a day and what do you fill up your 8 hours with?

Be open to doing some changes and then you will get different results - results you are looking for. Remember to do baby steps in the initial stages for all out massive action results can be daunting for most and they will likely give up. You need to develop habits slowly. Tackle some project you want in small manageable portions. An hour a day or even just 20 minutes to start. By now focusing on "you" and seeing yourself as able to handle the project, you will have success and your kids will benefit from your improvements, from what you sow.

So take the time now before your time is up. Don't worry about the how, just decide what areas of your life that could be better, be improved. You will soon discover after deciding to do something the answers will appear, the courses, the books, the new friends and the opportunities. As one door closes another one will open up - trust and have faith.

How To Get Creative Ideas Flowing

How I get creative ideas is usually when I am reading. I have read a lot of great positive inspirational books and while I read I get ideas! That is right. Often when I read my mind starts to wonder and I actually start thinking of possibilities or solutions. Of course, you should be reading books about inspiring wonderful ideas to help you achieve this alpha state. Some great authors I have read are: Dr. Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, and Andy Andrews for starters.

We have made available on our website a book review section as well for you to get some more ideas about what books we enjoyed and why.

But the process of reading is to learn and when I sit down to read I start to drift off a little and start to get some creative ideas. You should write them down and act on them when you can as soon as possible and then you have to pick up the book and re-read that section again.

My subconscious mind does that to me. If I have questions lingering and want to focus on solutions, sometimes during conversations I may get ideas too. That is why it is important to have a mastermind group of a few people who you can talk over ideas with. The end result is that you support each other with the idea that anyone can accomplish what they set out to do, all you have to do is first decide. By allowing yourself to envision the idea sort of like daydreaming you can think how does that feel if this happens or that happens and yeah - this will work!

But remember to write those ideas down as you get them. You may get ideas while you are in the shower or while driving so sometimes it may be difficult to write it down, so ask yourself to remember it and why you want to remember it when you do get a chance to write it down. Ideas pop into your head at all times of the day, even if you are watching TV, you may see something which will get you to start to think about your own situation and voila, you have an idea.

Some of the best ideas in the past with famous scientists involved were they were relaxed about getting the solutions and sort of just become "detached" from it. They either had a dream or the idea popped into their head, and all this happens from the subconscious mind. The process of Isaac Newton discovering "Gravity" is a very common one. There he was sitting under an apple tree and he gets the answer he was seeking. This reminds me to suggest that you can read a great book by Dr. James T. Murphy, "The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind". He has examples illustrating this concept and while reading the book I got an answer to the problem I was facing, the answer just sort of popped into my head in the middle of the night just after I awoke from a dream. So try it, it worked for me!

So enjoy your book reading and really allow yourself to relax and see what pops into your head! I am available for one on one coaching sessions as well. Contact me through my website.

How To Achieve Success

How to achieve success. Basically, KNOW YOUR CRAFT. Be good at what you do. Pretty simple, you have to be willing to learn, be open to learning from others, that is the biggest obstacle which holds people back.

Most people figure after schooling is done that they are not in learning mode. You can learn, and the learning is the most important now. Because it is the experience of doing which is going to help you achieve success, that is how you get to know your craft. Whatever you choose to do, realize that by doing it you will learn. Be flexible and do not be hard on yourself as you grow. Allow yourself room to grow!

If you want to learn about creating financial wealth, you need to learn from others who are wealthy as an example. How was it for them. If you read about their biographies you may start to see a common thread. They were in a position to either learn or give up. They were at crossroads with themselves. You are probably experiencing some of that right now. That is where the growth comes from. It comes from breaking through a threshold which is holding you back, keeping you limited to your current situation. You have to take that step towards your goal, you have to KEEP MOVING FORWARD. No matter what your "poor" friends say, keep your dream alive and trust your instincts, operate from the feeling of knowingness.

Picture yourself achieving your success. See yourself with how you feel about it by the end of this year. You are only holding yourself back by not moving forward, or letting other people tell you how to live. It is a great and rewarding life you live, you have so many options, just stop looking at your past results, and focus on your achieving success.

My personal achievements have been very rewarding and I look forward to be of any assistance you may need. Personal one on one coaching sessions are available now. Contact me by email at michelle@inspiredabundance.com I look forward to your success!

How To Turn Your Spare Time Into Profits!

How to turn your spare time into profits. Turn the TV off and now in your spare time you can operate a home-based business. A home based business is not only convenient, but anyone can operate one.

Are you ready to take charge of your life? Have you been wondering what the next step is? Is now the time to go for it before it is too late?

If you have been asking yourself one of these questions or something similar you are not alone. The market is growing rapidily. There will be more millionaires and fortunes made this year than last year! So why would you not want to get started?

Some people think that they do not have a certain skill or quality like myself for instance. When I first got into a home-based business I really thought that it was for making a few bucks! I really did not know what huge potential there is in this growing industry! I then realized that average people with all sorts of backgrounds were making it in the home-based business industry! We decided for us to start a home business instead of a franchise because franchises would be a lot more work, more training and stress.

So what lead me down this whole new path to a world I did not even know existed was the fact that my husband was sick and tired of working for someone else. At that time, I was already home with 2 kids and all the pressure was on him to maintain a lifestyle and being something he really wasn't wanting to be anymore. He grew tired of the rat race and the politics of the corporate world. At the time, all I really knew was that he was unhappy and unfulfilled.

Change is such a wonderful release and boy does it feel good. When my husband and I did enter the home-business industry, it was really him who started. But as soon as I realized that a woman with very little education can learn to operate a business I was contributing and the change was great for me too!

Since we started in 2005, my husband and I have made a six-figure income operating from home. He walked away from his job in 2006 and we have travelled to South Africa, Australia, and many other tropical locations like Hawaii. None of this would have been possible until he was retired if he had stayed at his job. Perhaps, if he stayed working in that executive level stressful environment being unhappy, he may have even would have worked himself to death like so many others we hear about.

Our journey is now what we create and our marriage, our kids, and our health is all that much better because we changed our direction. I am so glad we are helping others along this journey, showing them what truly is possible. So perhaps you now can too turn your spare time into profits.
