Breathe
Nothing is stronger than habit. ~ Ovid 43 B.C – A.D.18
Today, we have the pleasure of a guest post from John Chancellor, an expert in helping solo-entrepreneurs achieve their goals in business and life. He shares with us today an interesting take on habits! Try it and let me know how it works for you - I'll keep you in the loop about my success too.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy. ~William Shakespeare 1564 – 1616
April 1st – April Fools Day…. I’ve never really liked this day. What is that old saying? “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me….”
“Fool” is such a loaded word, full of guilt and shame… and I often hear “How could I have been such a fool?”
You don't realize how important some things are until you stop doing them – take breathing for instance…. Breathing seems natural enough, we do it on 'auto-pilot' — thank goodness! Can you imagine what it would be like if you had to remind yourself to breathe in, breathe out?
Yet, is your breathing auto-pilot working correctly?
'Fake It Until You Make It' never works because FAKING IS FAKING, let me explain:
How you talk to yourself is directly reflected in your nonverbal communication. You can't stop it; how you feel – such as feeling fake – comes through loud and clear…. You tell yourself to fake it and your mind does just that, IT FAKES IT.
Then this one-time, 2-part complimentary training call is for YOU to create a transformational and life-changing SHIFT in your life filled with what you desire most – even if you shutter at the thought of meeting people, getting out and being seen, or just speaking up….
Oh, the love/hate day is here once again. Of course, showing love should be more than once a year….yet, Valentines Day always brings out the uber-romantic in me.
Since today is Valentines Day, let me take this time to thank you for being part of my world. It means so much to me and that we can be passionate about building a world of open dialogue based in respect-filled communication. My irrational passion for respect-filled communication comes from an earlier time of being misunderstood, being loose to judge and quick to verbally defend what I thought was ‘right.’ I was guilty of all those and more…yet, we don’t have to stay trapped.
