All About Judgments

Barb Lundgren

I had a delightful conversation with my good friend Barb Lundgren all about Judgments, where they come from, how they limit us or help us manage information, how to step out of the box and see new perspectives, and how to remove judgments as a way of improving relationships.

You can listen to the audio recording of our 30 minute dialog here:

In our conversation you’ll hear Barb and I talk about the Rethinking Everything conference, which is AWESOME! I’ll be facilitating even more conversations, workshop experiences and playful transformations at this year’s event in September. I highly encourage you to check it out for yet another fun way to open your mind and expand your possibilities. Learn more about it here: www.RethinkingEverything.net

Stretch Your Vision Rubberband Into Your Future

I like to think that when you create an inspiring vision it’s like you are stretching a rubberband into your future. By placing your inspired, passionate vision in time you are stretching the rubberband from where you are now to where you desire to be.

As long as you keep your attention on the “where you desire to be” end of the rubberband you will naturally and easily snap yourself into that vision. However, if you start to feel doubt or in any other way lessen your attention and good vibration from where you desire to be, you are putting slack in your rubberband and essentially keeping yourself where you are.

To help you stretch your vision rubberband into your future, and keep it tight with good vibrations, I’d like to introduce you to a beautiful NLP guided visualization called Strategic Visioning.

In this guided visualization you step into all the details of your vision – seeing it, hearing it, and feeling it. Then you step out of the vision, but keep a picture of you in it so you have a snapshot of that moment when you arrived and you can easily recall all the good feelings associated with your vision being realized.

Then you stretch your vision rubberband by floating up into the air, above the stream of time, and drop your energized picture into the future date when you wish your vision to be fulfilled. And now you can relax and allow all the events and opportunities and people to flow into your life with perfect timing, knowing that your vision is complete.

I love this NLP guided visualization because you can use it over and over again, each time adding even more feeling and detail to your experience to keep strengthening the good vibrations of your vision rubberband.

Try it, and let me know how it works for you!

Visualize With Help From Your Future Self

December is a wonderful time to visualize! While our society is focused on giving and receiving during the holidays you can leverage that energy to focus on receiving your most inspired visions for your next year … and beyond.

The darker days, the magic of the holidays, and the quietude of this season all support you as you go within to discover your heart’s desire and your higher self’s greatest wish for you.

To help you receive your inspired vision, I am gifting you the Catalize Future Self Journey guided visualization.

This 15 minute visualization will help you to connect with your most inspired, positive Future Self and through that connection you will discover your inspired vision now. You can listen to this visualization many times – each time you may get a new insight into your vision.

Oh, and if you would like your own copy of the visioning questions you ask your Future Self in this journey, here they are:

What is your highest vision for me?
What must I become to empower this vision?
What must be released?
What must be embraced?
Is there any other information that is needed at this moment?
What metaphor or symbol or phrase best represents the focus of my vision now?

Many thanks to the Center for Spiritual Living for the input of the questions used in the science of mind Visioning process.

Enjoy your journey and let me know what you are inspired to now!

Transferring Success from 1 Quarter to the Next

Now that the first quarter is over, I can more easily relate to you the power of focusing on just a few areas of your life, even as you set intentions and choices for all areas.

My winter quarter focus was primarily on health. As you can imagine, after the holidays, and honestly after 6 months of nurturing myself with comfort food during my transition to Texas, I was feeling a bit pudgy and out of shape.

My intention for the health area of my life was (and is):

I look and feel FANTASTIC!
My clothes fit well and my body/mind is relaxed.

In early January, that was not my reality, but it was definitely my vision of how I wanted my health to be.
As for my choices of how I wanted to bring that intention into reality, I wasn’t yet sure what form of exercise and healthy eating was going to feel best and work best for me. I first investigated options for exercises I had used in the past: I found ultimate frisbee pickup games I could join in on, I found a Curves exercise place nearby, and I tried using the cross-country machine that was available to me. None of it sounded appealing.

So I started taking some long, brisk walks around the neighborhood and marking my calendar for every day that I took a walk – aiming to exercise every day or every other day at the least. Then a friend of mine loaned me her exercise video and I really liked it – enough that I bought my own. With the variety of exercises in the video I was really happy to use it every day and I marked my calendar in big black pen with which of the three videos in the set I had used for my workout.

As January came to a close, I didn’t notice my clothes fitting better yet, but I was more inclined to eat healthier foods and I was really proud of what I was doing every day for my health intention.

I kept going. I kept exercising and marking my calendar. And last week I celebrated by wearing my cute little blue dress to a fancy dinner and I felt *FINE*! (you know how to say that with the right emphasis!)

So now as I set my intentions and choices for the 2nd quarter of 2008 I’m going to choose a different life area as my primary focus: Business & Career. Here’s my intention:

I enjoy and deliver PROSPERITY in all my businesses!
I transform millions of lives with my coaching, workshop/retreats, and inspirational products.

I am still marking my calendar each day that I work out, and now I’m also marking my calendar each day that I do anything towards my transformational businesses.

I’ve learned a great way (for me) of planting and nurturing seeds and now I’m going to plant some yummy business vision seeds. I can hardly wait to tell you what’s sprouted by the end of the quarter!
