Dr. Oz says Small Changes Daily

I just finished lunch, and was watching Oprah.  Her guest was Dr. Oz, and they were talking about health (of course).  In their conversation, Dr. Oz said that it was small changes made daily that added up to results.

This is so true for all areas of our life, and not just physical health!  It also applies to emotional health, mental health, and spiritual health.

It also is true when applying the Law of Attraction to your life!

You do not need to meditate for hours.  You do not need to visualize for hours. 

No matter which tool you pick to support you with making changes in your life, it’s small incremental changes that make the difference.

This is exactly how the JOY Journal works!  It’s small, incremental changes in your thinking process.  It’s small, incremental shifts in your perception.  It’s small, incremental shifts in your focus.

JOY Journaling only takes 5 minutes per days.  That’s it!

5 minutes per day x 365 days = 1865 minutes of purposeful focus per year.

5 minutes per day x 5 days per week x 52 weeks = 1300 minutes of purposeful focus per year.

If you put 5 minutes a day in with CONSISTENT Intention, the power does not only add up to the minutes you put in, it’s exponential!

Your experience changes.  You change.  And all for the better!

You ARE worth the 5 minutes a day.  Schedule YOU in.

BE or BE NOT. There is no TRY.

For those of you who have played with me for a while (remember…I don’t work, I either Play or Plurk) you know I JOY Journal.

For those of who you have not played with me for very long, my JOY Journal is something I use every day, for 5 minutes each day.

I guess you can call it my “life shaping” tool, because honestly, it truly has helped me to consciously shape my life!

I notice a difference when I don’t do it as compared to when I do!

If you to here, http://joy-journal.com, you’re going to read about what happened to me 4 years ago that forced me to quit “trying” the Law of Attraction, and start “being” the Law of Attraction.

Yeah, I said Being.  Law of Attraction isn’t something you do or do not, it’s something you be. 

When you BE the Law of Attraction, you shape your life.  When you TRY Law of Attraction you have nice little things happen every once in a while, and then you are disappointed an perhaps even devastated when the big things don’t happen.

My big thing was saving our home, and keeping our lives from being swallowed up whole.  We had a young son.  There was no other option but survival!

Again, you can read more about that at http://joy-journal.com.

After that situation turned around, one year later I began playing in my Journal with leaving my J.O.B. and working 100% for myself.  I went part-time in 3 months, and full-time me in 6 1/2 months.

I learned that I didn’t have to be in a crisis to use my Journal!  Yeah! 

I wasn’t a Crisis LOA Be-er!  I was a Living LOA Be-er!

(No, I’m not saying Beer.  I can’t drink that stuff! LOL)

The JOY Journal will take you from being a LOA Try-er to a LOA Be-er!

http://joy-journal.com

And all it takes is just 5 minutes per day.  Seriously!

The thing is, you can take the audio program and run with it, or you can take advantage of the JOY Journal Coaching Community too. 

It’s a lifetime membership, and I’ll be in there daily to answer your questions and coach you through anything that may come up as you begin your JOY Journaling process.

All those in favour of LOA Being say I!

Dream BIG!

Toastmasters, Goals and Decisions

It’s the last week of October, and while we’ve had some snow, the ground is wonderfully brown. Autumn is certainly the season of change, and though I’m not a winter girl, I do enjoy the crisp freshness of the autumn air.

I’ve set some goals to plurk with over the cooler months. I’m a member of Toastmasters. I have been for two years. I had only completed 3 of my 10 manual speeches during that first two years. I can list many reasons why I didn’t achieve more during those two years. They were busy time. In truth, the only reason I never achieved more is because I never decided to achieve more. I was not setting a stronger goal, just in case I didn’t achieve it. I knew it was going to be busy.

With all the changes that have been afoot in my life I’ve been able to make some wonderfully powerful observations about myself. One of them was that the minute I make a decision, the rest falls into place. I’ve made the decision to achieve Competent Communicator BEFORE June 2009. I completed my 4^th speech last week. I have 6 more speeches to go, and 7 months to get them done. These are still busy times, AND I’ve made the Decision.

Have you ever put off a decision regarding your goals because you needed more information?

Chances are the information you’re looking for will show up the minute you make a decision.

Is there a goal decision you’ve been waiting on? What if you made the decision to go for it?

What if you could get coaching, and strengthen your Inner Coach at the same time?

Joy Made Easy Intensive starts November 17^th. Set your 15 minute application consultation by emailing brandie@welcomechanges.com today! Put JME Application in the subject line.

***

Getting my Toastmasters CC designation isn’t the only decision I’ve made! 28 days and counting! Keep your eyes open for something special happening November 24^th.

Dealing with Whatever Comes

"When you know that you’re capable of dealing with whatever comes, you have the only security the world has to offer." ~ Harry Browne

It’s not the stuff that happens that matters. It’s what you do with the stuff that happens that matters. Managing YOU through the stuff includes managing your energy, your emotions, managing your mind and managing your body. Have I told you that I think all managers should have coaching skills?

What if you coached you through the stuff that happens? Be coached and learn how to self-coach. http://www.joymadeeasy.com

Joy Made Easy starts November 17^th. Don’t wait to reserve your spot! http://www.joymadeeasy.com

Radio, Golf and Me

The past couple of days have been really wonderful. 

Tuesday I interviewed Dr. Michael Norwood for Welcome Changes Radio.  What an awesome conversation!  The 1 hour show ran over 15 minutes.  We played with his process called the “1 Minute Miracle” on a situation I’m plurking with.  I got some valuable insight from the discussion.  The show is well worth downloading.

Yesterday (Wednesday) I was the special guest for Kimberly Marooney on her show, Soul Connections.  We talked about the value of Welcoming Change, beliefs, and a whole lot more.  I’ll be back on her show again in July to continue the conversation.  Be sure to stop by and listen to the show!

Today was my second Golf lesson.  I really enjoy golf, but my limited skill with the game was totally holding me back.  I was thrilled when my son and husband gave me lessons for Mother’s Day!  I’ve already noticed improvement in my swing.  What really surprised me is some of the life lessons I observed with the golf lesson. 

Slow on the up swing ~ This reminds me of preparation, particularly vision.  You don’t want to rush it so you truly gain clarity.

Follow Through ~ I noticed how stiff I was, and how I didn’t follow through after the swing.  I’d stop about 1/2 way up.  How often do we get stiff and not completely follow through on things out of fear?  Do we play full out, or are we tight and restricting?

They were interesting observations for me.

As for my physical activity goals, I didn’t get my walking in.  *sigh*  Though an hour on the driving range today was good additional activity.  I have completed all of my morning workouts, which is good.  I drank my water yesterday, but not today.  I still have a couple of hours left, so I’m going to get as much in as I possibly can during that time.

To fill my well I actually spent about 2 hours out in the sun pulling weeds in my front flower bed.  I found it to be a wonderful active meditation of sorts.  I spent very little time thinking about past or future events, though little sparks of inspiration did show up.  It was great to enjoy the sun and stick my fingers in the dirt.  Grounding and revitalizing.

That’s it for today!  Next Tuesday evening I’ll be updating you on my measurements again.

More on Creativity and Problems

I shared Amanda with you for the first time back in December 2007, when she was a guest on Welcome Changes Radio.

We had an absolute blast, and it was a wonderful conversation!  I absolutely love Amanda.

I want to share her with you again. 

http://www.welcomechanges.com/recommends/cps

We’ve talked, over the past few weeks, about problem solving, and creativity.  The articles
are posted at http://www.inspired-in-action.com if you need a refresher.

Amanda has just re-released her Creative Problem Solving package, and it’s really really good!

http://www.welcomechanges.com/recommends/cps

I’ll let her tell you how she’s updated the program.

I wanted to share with you my experience of Amanda’s program. 

I fall asleep.  And I mean that in a good way!

Her voice is wonderful, and she brings me to a place of complete relaxation.  When I am complete with her mediation, I’m fully awake, and sooooo grounded.  It’s a great feeling.  I feel like I can breathe again.

I don’t know about you, but when contrast comes up, I get a shortness in my breath, and don’t feel connected.

Amanda’s meditation is one of the tools I tap into when that happens.  It brings me back into the now.  I open up to possibilities again.

Below is Amanda’s note, so you can find out what she did to update it.

Are you ready for Creative problem solving?

We have got the Creative Problem Solver Relaxation now onto MP3 for easy listening.

And the workbook has been updated.

It has tons of ideas for solving any problem Quickly, easily and creatively.

I have also added in a bunch of exciting Bonuses for you.

The “Creative Problem Solver,” is a no-stress, no effort solution to solving any problem.

It’s “Designed to allow you to create the answers to the day to day challenges that occur in your life.

You can use this MP3 at bedtime, so that your creative mind can work on your problems for you, while you sleep.

You can also listen to it during the day if you need some creative inspiration for a project, or you would like to create an ideal outcome to an important task or simply to pamper yourself with some chill out and de-stress time.”

Go and have a look

Creative Journaling

I teach about how to use your Journal as a Law of Attraction tool.  It’s really easy, and it only takes 5 minutes a day.

I wrote in my Journal today.  I had something to “dump and flip” about.  I may be a coach, but that doesn’t mean contrast doesn’t show up for me too!

You can get the Introduction to Journal to Abundance journal for free by visiting http://www.welcomechanges.com by the way. 

Anyway, back to the Dump and Flip.  (I explain the tool in more detail on the Journaling audio.)

I’ve been using a Journaling Software.  It makes it easy to journal daily on my computer.  I wrote my dumps, and then I wrote out my flips.  It definitely made me feel better, but I had to get rid of my dumps.  I just changed the font format to “strike through”, and then I highlighted my flips in purple!  (I love purple.)  Easy!

Head on over and get your copy of Introduction to Journal to Abundance.  Next, head over to get a free 30 day trial of the Journal Software.  Try it out for just 30 days and I’ll bet you notice changes…for the better!
