2.  Ok, you’ve identified you are in a pattern, now it’s time to look at your part – what are you doing the same?  Stop with the reasons why you are doing it the same and just focus on your part.  There is no one person to blame. 

 For a pattern to be established everyone has to go along with their part over and over again – especially if it’s a negative pattern.  The reason you are always broke isn’t because the universe is out to get you, it’s because not only do you make the same poor money decisions over and over, but you also believe yourself to be someone who is always broke.  The universe is just showing up how you believe it to be.  (Tip: Got to change your belief…)    

 As I have previously said, it does not do you any good to berate yourself for not getting it yet – you will.  To change anything it takes practice and time.  You have to intentionally respond differently to the same problems. This takes energy and a commitment to being present – you are not going to respond how you always have.

 It won’t feel normal at first to respond differently and that’s ok.  Some people around you may not like you changing the pattern and that’s ok too.  When you are ready, you will make a change.  For the alternative – staying in this less-than place – becomes more and more unacceptable as the days pass… 

Listen to a discussion about animal guides for 2010 and if you have not already identified your guide for this year, I hope you’ll join me for a little guided meditation at the end of the podcast.  The meditation will not only relax you but connect you to your own divine support – you’ll receive real and tangible images to help guide you to your best year…

Listen to a discussion of New Year Resolutions vs. Intentions.  Explore what works best for you and make this year different – one to remember…

If you are struggling with where you are in your life right now – I invite you to examine your inner dialog.  What are you thinking about?  Are you worrying?  Are you what-if-ing your days away?  Are you flexible? 

 Maybe you’ve tried manifesting exercises before with what you thought was little success, but guess what?  I’m betting it worked – just not the way you wanted it too. 

 Manifesting isn’t about doing certain exercises or meditations (although they can help!) it’s about your inner dialog.  Are you lifting yourself up or pushing yourself down?  Worry attracts more things to worry about.  Positive thinking leads to possibilities.  Thoughts really do expand.

 Again I invite you to look at your own inner dialog – are you berating yourself for things left undone?  Are you patient?  Do you give yourself a break or are you a relentless perfectionist?  Are you complaining your life away?  Is it someone else’s fault?  Regrets?  Are you calling yourself names?  Do you feel good about life?

 Guess what?  It starts with you.  Somehow, someway you have to make a shift.  What is one thing you can do today to improve your inner dialog?

 Suggestions: 1.       Cues -  place words or pictures around your home and workspace to remind yourself of peace, trust, love…

2.       When you discover yourself complaining – shift your language without yelling at yourself, “Why can’t I do better?”

3.       Journal.

4.       Guided meditation – try I Meet Success or my free download, My Best Self.

5.       Laugh more – it’s a lot easier to be flexible when you are happy.  Connect to friends, watch silly movies (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe), read funny books (anything by David Sedaris) or simply, play.  What did you like to do as a kid and can you do that now?  

 Real change is not waving a magic wand or overnight decisions.  Real change is many, many steps.  It is not sexy or exciting – it’s breaking a habit.  Sometimes one of our bad habits is negative thinking.  It takes time to shift your language just because it takes time for a new language to integrate into your thoughts.  How many years have you been thinking in a certain way and now you would like a new way? 

 Relax, have patience with yourself – you are on you way…

“Do you meditate?”  Well, I should, I know it, but I just don’t know how to get started….  Chances are you are drawn to meditation because you want to relax, reduce stress, maybe become more present, could be that you are trying to stop an incessantly thinking mind.  Guided meditation leads you out of your “old thoughts/patterns” and replace with some new positive ideas…

Are you Feeling stuck?  Guess what?  You are not alone.  A couple days ago a friend and I were discussing how nothing seems to be moving – all the hopeful possibilities that were appearing on the horizon are, as the saying goes, dead in the water…I then remembered Mercury goes retrograde on May 7 – yuck – a time of much inaction and confusion.  Later that same day, Karen Bishop’s most recent post happened in my mailbox and I was reminded that sometimes, whether we like it or not, we enter the waiting game… 

I suggest to you that May is a time of waiting, watching and hopefully, shifting.  If you are like me, you can feel a change coming, but from where?  How will it look?  This tension in transformation is exhausting and when you are locked within transformation, sometimes you forget that this is temporary – it feels like this will go on forever, but it will not.  It is temporary. 

So if you find yourself in a waiting game, here are a few suggestions on how to use the energy and discover the hidden gifts held within this still period in time…
