Woman’s Wellness: Life is Supposed To Be Yummy…

Good Morning…

Life is supposed to be yummy and you are supposed to get what you want.

If you aren’t getting what you want in a specific area of your life, it’s simply because you are focused on the negative aspects of it.  You are summoning the power of the Law of Attraction to keep you stuck in lack.

You get what you focus on whether you want it or not

It is a simple concept to understand… not an easy one to implement… we are so conditioned to worry and doubt and live fearfully…

But… and this is the big butt….if you want to experience wonderfulness in an area that you are currently experiencing lack in…you need to change your focus… period…

If you don’t have time to create elaborate vision boards, or read a bunch of Law of Attraction books… take heart… there is one, simple thing you can do that doesn’t take any time at all… you can do it as you are :

• driving the kids to school
• making dinner
• talking to your boss
• working
• walking
• shopping
• whatever…..

Just Be Grateful For Your Many Blessings

(did you know green is the color of receiving and abundance)

Where was I?

The feeling of gratitude… you know… that warm fuzzy feeling in your heart… will immediately raise your personal vibration and when that happens, the universe will respond with more thoughts, events, circumstances for you to be grateful about…

Let go of the outcome… practice deliberate gratitude… and enjoy the ride…

Then… pay attention to the red carpet starting to roll out in front of you to walk on like the Queen you are….

(i just found the color button… cool…)

Namaste.

Pay Attention to Your Emotional Energy Today

Good Morning Friends…

Hoping that you enjoyed your weekend and that you had a chance to relax and recharge your batteries.

Before you jump headfirst into the busy-ness of your week.  Take some time to quietly center yourself.  Even if the moments you spend reading this are all you have… just  take a deep breath… and let it out… go inside and check in with yourself…

Whatever thoughts you are carrying forward into this new day, check them for quality.

• Are your thoughts positive ones?
• Are they making you feel happy?
• Will they set the tone for more happiness today?
• Will they have you humming and anticipating good things today?

If you can say yes… then…. wow…. you have it!  That’s the magic of the Law of Attraction!

Sit back and enjoy your manifestations!  Notice all the positive gifts you receive today.

…Keep thinkin’ those thots!…

If, however you are carrying forward thoughts of fear, uncertainty or doubt, you need to take action right away!  Stop!

You can do several things:

1. Change the channel.  Take your focus off the problem and put it deliberately on something that feels good.
2. Think solution!  Create an empowering way to think about your situation.
3. Put your attention on your many blessings.  It’s the easiest way to raise your vibration.  It will fit you perfectly.  It’s the perfect counterbalance to negative thoughts.
4. Whistle, sing… say hello to more people than you generally do today… behave positively.  Buy yourself flowers.  Wear your good underwear.  Anything to feel good.

Remember that the most important thing today is to feel good.  Everything else will flow smoothly when you set that as your intention.

Sending you off with wishes of a warm and loving day…

Brightest Blessings,

Joyce Lee

A Fresh Start and Your Appreciative Heart

Happy New Year My Friends…

Wow… doesn’t life just feel different today?  We are at the top of the year, the first days of our new calendars…

The wheel of the year has turned yet again, and just as dawn greets the promise of a new day, this month greets the new year.  A time for reflection and forward dreaming…

I think this occasion deserves a bit of attention, don’t you? On that note, I would like to present you with a coaching challenge.  My own coach slid this one to me today, so I’m passing it along to you…

Remember to do this in a spirit of celebration, let go of the outcome, and just enjoy the process…

Challenge:

Take the time to sit today with a cup of tea and your journal and create a list of your highlights from 2008.  Expand on what made these moments so memorable for you.

• What did you accomplish?
• Who did you love?
• What brought you joy?
• What did you learn?
• How did you grow?
• What were your special moments?

Take the time to look back with love… keep these snippets of “feel – good” energy close to you, think of them often.

Advanced Challenge: Up the voltage on the good energy.

If you really want to invite more goodness into your circumstances, pass this challenge to other select folks in you life.   Make it a point to talk about these loving things when you visit…

Use the Law of Attraction to invite more and more reasons to celebrate into your reality.

Isn’t it great how this works?

Peace and Love,

Joyce

Your Morning Energy Check-in and Focus…

Good Morning…

Before you rush off madly in all directions this morning, take a moment to quiet your movements, center your energy, take some deep breaths and scan your awareness for any negative energy/feeling…

If you do find anything negative, know that carrying it around costs you ‘energy bucks’ (see yesterday’s blog).

There are any number of things you can do to release the power of your negative thoughts and change your energy to a positive focus… for today… lets keep it simple… just create your gratitude list…

For the rest of the day, decide that when you become aware that you are feeling anything but wonderful (worry, fear, stress, doubt, frustration, etc…) you will flip your switch to being grateful for what you love…

You absolutely have the power to focus on anything you want… Change your thoughts by choice, change your energy… and the universal law of attraction will serve up more for you to feel positive about… it really is that simple…

Now, go off and enjoy this one and only December 17, 2008… you are trading a day of your life for the privilege of experiencing it…make it worth the ticket price…

As an extra positive energy rocket… do something kind for someone else without them finding out…

Giving you a cyber hug…

Peace and abundance…

When I look around, I see the blossoming manifestation of many of the thoughts contained in this piece.  It warms my heart and fills me with hope.

There is a great shift happening in our world right now… the old guard is changing… a new and more enlightened time is evolving… we get to be part of it…  how exciting!

I hope you enjoy this and feel good about the concepts that you have already internalized and hold near and dear to you own heart.

• talk to strangers
• imagine other cultures through their poetry and novels
• listen to music you don’t understand
• act locally

Seduced by the Moon… Full Moon Names and a little something to try…

I have to admit to being “over the moon” when it comes to paying attention to our big white globe in the sky.  I keep track of her (yes, the moon is traditionally thought to have a feminine nature).

That people have been looking up and seeing the same glorious moon since the beginning, enthralls me.

There is something special about full moons in winter… being able to see across the white fields for miles is a wonder.

Since we are in the midst of a full moon right now, I thought I would pass along the traditional Full Moon Names as published by  The Old Farmer’s Almanac in 1998. The folk lore is interesting.

It has been said that putting objects out under the full moon clears the old energy and refreshes the object.  I do this regularly. I gather things that represent my life into a basket (bridle, journal and pen,  jewelry pliers, photo of loved ones…etc) and place them outside in the light of the moon while I go for a walk.

It feels wonderful to refresh and honor those special items.  It focuses my intention on my many blessings in the days to come… try it…

Tonight (Saturday, Dec 13 is still considered the full moon… day before, day of, day after)  so you still have time…

Full Moon Names
•    January: Full “Wolf” Moon (American Indian — from wolf packs roaming in the dead of winter.) Also “After-Yule” or Full “Old” Moon.
•    February: Full “Snow” or “Storm” Moon (American Indian — from blizzards at this time of year). Also known as Full “Hunger” Moon.
•    March: Full “Worm” (American Indian — from earthworms coming to soil surface during Spring thaw), or “Chaste” Moon. Other names: Full “Crow” Moon, Full “Crust” Moon, Full “Sugar” Moon, Full “Sap” Moon.
•   April: Full “Pink” or “Seed” Moon (American Indian–from profusion of pink wildflowers). Also “Grass” Moon, “Spring” or “Full Egg” Moon, Full “Fish” Moon.
•   May: Full “Flower” or “Hare” Moon. Also Full “Corn Planting” Moon, Full “Milk” Moon.
•    June: Full “Strawberry” or “Dyad” Moon. Other names: Full Rose Moon, Full Hot Moon.
•    July: Full “Buck” or “Mead” Moon. Also, Thunder (American Indian-from fierce storms common at this time), and Full Hay Moon.
•    August: Full ” Green Corn” Moon, Full “Sturgeon” Moon, Full “Grain” Moon , Full “Red” Moon (American Indian–from the heat and haze of August).
•    September: Full “Harvest” Moon*. Also, Full Corn Moon, Full Barley Moon.
•    October: Full “Hunters” or “Blood” Moon (defined as the first full moon following the harvest moon; from hunting practice of riding over the stubble of reaped grain fields pursuing foxes by the light of the moon.); also Full Travel Moon, Full Dying Grass Moon.
•    November: Full “Beaver” or “Snow” Moon (from the beavers busy building their winter homes). Also, Full Frost Moon.
•    December: Full “Cold” or “Oak” Moon. Also, Full “Before-Yule” Moon and Full “Long Nights” Moon.

* The Harvest Moon is always the full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox. If the Harvest Moon occurs in October, the September full Moon is usually called the Corn Moon.

The Law of Attraction and You.

Would you like to get through the holiday season:

* feeling good about your financial situation
* feeling good about your food choices and body care
* feeling good about your relationships

I used to get swept away on the tide of excess each holiday season… When it was time to “pay the fiddler”… Usually in January when the ‘toys’ had been put away, the bills arrived and I got on a scale, I would feel heavy and blue.

Not anymore… Thanks to an understanding of the Law of Attraction, my clothes fit the same and my bank statements are healthy come January.  My positive focus becomes clearer and more precious than ever.

My life continues to expand in the most marvelous ways.  It all starts with perspective.

The cool thing is… perspective is free... you don’t have to drive to the perspective building and get on the perspective scale… or buy the perspective supplements…

I personally know how foundational a positive self perspective is.  Gone for me are the days of:

*  yo-yo dieting
* of not approving of any aspects of myself
* of fear
* or critical self talk of wanting to make changes because I felt unacceptable in some way.

Change the perspective and stand back and watch the outside circumstances change.  That is how the Law of Attraction works… it works every time…

Peace and Abundance

The Sky is Falling… The Sky is Falling…

For some reason,a couple of weeks ago, I found myself listening to an in-depth report on the dismal state of our economy.  Actually, this report went well beyond our economy, it was talking about the whole world in deep trouble.

Now… being a Law of Attraction Life Coach, I generally keep up on current events, but I do not spend my time listening to the endless doom and gloom reports that depress and scare everyone.

I know that the world is better served by my energy being positive and centered and healthy.

If you think of the world energy as being on a teeter totter, with negative on one side and positive on the other, there is a whole lot on the negative side… we need to have much more on the positive side.

Anyway, I allowed myself to follow along with the dismal predictions and actually found myself feeling scared….

What… me?… scared?   Yes.  Remember, I am the woman who just left the security of a union job with 18 years seniority and full benefits to strike out on my own, relying on my own resourcefulness to create my livelihood.

• Oh my God/dess… what have I done?
• The world is falling apart… Did I make a mistake?
• Should I try to get another job for security?
• Will we lose our investments?
• Will we be OK in our golden years?
• Will we lose our home?
• Will people want what I offer?
• What was I thinking????

Crazy eh?
Now, I am pretty practiced at keeping my energy light and positive and progressive.
So I figured if I can slide into the doom and gloom energy of what is going on… which… by the way, I don’t have any control over… I know many of you are feeling the same fear.

I found myself thinking of all the things I could ‘go after’ to put some security in place.

• Who I could phone to try to set up some opportunities to generate income…
• to feel safe for the future…
• I felt worried as I scrambled to look for safety from the big, bad, scarey world.

Wait a minute… Stop… this feels bad… I don’t like this feeling.
I took a deep breath.  This is where walking the talk comes into play…

• I don’t want to feel scared and frantic about my future.
• I do want to trust the unlimited abundance in the world.
• I see evidence of positive progress and abundance all around me.
• I am choosing to take my focus off of what is wrong in the world and put it on what is right and growing and getting better.
• I intend to live my life on the light side of energy.

So, that morning, I decided that:

• I will only make plans and look for opportunities for my business in a spirit of abundance and expansion.
• I will not make any decisions or take any actions based on a perspective of fear.
• and that is that.

Nothing would be served in this whole world if I operate from a place of fear and lack and worry.

• The universe needs my positive energy…
• The universe needs your positive energy too…

In Joy and Love of Life

Thoughts about grouchy people… and wishes for your great day…

Good Morning,

I woke up at my usual wee hour of the morning time.  This is my best-est time… The house is warm and cozy, the dogs are laying near… all is well and as it should be.

I am teaching a workshop to a private company today.  The workshop is called Harmony in the Workplace and it is about having an awareness of and taking responsibility for the energy we all bring to our work environment.

Having years and years and years and years (heehee) of experience with different staff sizes and personality makeups, it always amazed me how unaware many people seem to be of the negative energy that surrounds them and that they impose upon others.

Often, I found myself consciously protecting my own energy from the negative vibrations from others.  I feel bad for people that don’t seem to get that what the send out, they get back…

The Law of Attraction states that we get what we focus on whether we want it or not..

• grouchy out…. more to feel grouchy about back
• good natured out…. more to feel good natured about back…
• stressed out… more to feel stressed about back

Do you think some people actually enjoy feeling grouchy?  Think of a grouchy person that you know… Is it possible to feel ones life is being lived on purpose?  Can she/he be grouch and fulfilled at the same time?

it’s something to think about…

So, for those of you off to work… I am sending you gentle wishes for an enjoyable day, filled with appreciation for you many blessings, and choices to see your world in a positive light… remember… this is the only Wednesday, November 26, 2008 ever… once it’s over, it’s over… make it worth it…

Take care of yourself today… drink your water…

peace and abundance…

Joyce Lee
