My Favorite Self-Help Stuff

As far as stress tips go, this one is key:

Focus on what you DO want!

When we get stressed, we can easily get so wrapped up in our stressful situation that it’s hard to see beyond it.  That’s a recipe for staying stuck and even making things worse.

Whatever we focus on, we get more of.  Have you ever noticed that?

Now, you may say for example, well, you focus on wanting money, but where is it?

Well… when you focus on wanting more money from the perspective of not having enough of it, guess where your focus REALLY lies.

And speaking of affirmations, especially prosperity affirmations…

I remember that once, on my quest for finding good affirmations for prosperity, I came across the advice to repeat the following affirmation:

“I am a debt-free Millionaire”

Uhm…  I was very far away from debt-free OR a millionaire, and both I and my subconscious knew it.  So where was my focus really when I said that?  On lack!

Not good.  In fact, that sort of thing will only increase your stress and other negative emotions, and probably add despair to the equation.

So what can we do to get around that? Abraham and Abraham-Hicks have some great advice on that, and I’ll introduce you to another amazing resource I’ve been finding very helpful lately in the next few days

The key of their teachings is this:

Focus on what you DO want.  But phrase it in a way that doesn’t trigger contradiction.

So instead of saying, “I have a million dollars in the bank” when you don’t, why not say the following:

“I’d love to have a million dollars in the bank.”

or:

“The idea of having a million dollars in the bank feels really good.”

Doesn’t that make sense?

Ditto for any other issue you might be facing.

And if you’d like some support on your quest for a less stressful life, check out my the next post for a special offer or go to my Coaching page.

And have a fabulous day!

It’s yours for the asking.  But first, let me give you a bit of background.

See, I’ve coached tons of people over the years, but I never saw myself as a COACH.  I should have.

When I read David Wood’s ebook on coaching and listened to his teleseminars, I realized that coaching would be the logical extension of my blogging and writing on cancer, Law of attraction, taming excess stress, and navigating challenging life experiences. I do have something to give and I could really help people.

In fact, turns out I can

So I’m now participating in David’s 30-day challenge.  I have to invite someone to an introductory coaching session EVERY day!  So if there’s anything in your life that you’d like to change, please take me up on this offer.

How?  Just send me an email to my special coaching address:

coaching AT myfavoriteselfhelpstuff.com

and I’ll be happy to set you up with a first session.

Will there be pressure to sign up for the coaching sessions?

Absolutely not.  I only want people who I can help — motivated and willing to do the work.

If that’s you, please send me an email.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Elisabeth

P.S.:  Added later:  I’ve got a few clients now and I’d like more.  I should have done this years ago!

So yes, the offer of  free exploratory session is still on the table.  Although I’m only doing a limited number each month from now on.  Still, if you’re interested, please write.
