Taming Sabotaging Behaviors

Today we discussed sabotaging behaviors. Those things that show up when we are on a roll to distract us and hold us back from what we want. If you have done the Goals Report assessment located on my home page at www.StartingNowCoaching.com , there is a part in which you determined your sabotaging behavior. When I looked through the results of the reports visitors have taken over the last year and a half, this is how they have ranked.

Procrastination- the #1 sabotaging behavior by a land slide
Indecisiveness & Tolerating- tied for 2nd
Following Secondary Goals- came in 3rd
Not saying "no"- came in 4th
Others included Lack of Focus, Not Always Telling the Truth, Not Listening to Intuition, Acting as a Lone Ranger, Self Esteem/ Fear, and Controlling Life/People.

Steps to tame your sabotaging behavior(s):
1) Identify it so you can recognize it when it shows up
2) Create a plan to respond differently when it rears its ugly head
3) Carry through... take new actions for new results

Let me know if you have any thoughts on what you want to discuss next week.
December 14th will be our end of the year celebration.

Hear you next Wednesday! If you just came across the Blog and would like to join us at the Moving Beyond Limits Revolution you can by sign up at www.StartingNowCoaching.com . We would love for you to join us and you can opt-out any time!

Tapping into Abundance

Great call today! Sorry we got cut off when time ran out at the end. Here are
some notes for those who could not attend. Please post your experiences
as to how you are tapping into abundance this week.

"Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into." Wayne Dyer

1- There is more than enough- All you need is available to you. Looking at
your life from another perspective can help you to see abundance. What if
you were to look down at your life from above and could see all of the
resources, people, and opportunities available to you. Hard to discover while
tucked away at your desk. Remove the limitations in your life. The 6
Degrees of Separation Theory states that we are only 6 people away from
finding out anything we need to know.

2- You attract what you Focus on- What are you attracting? If you focus on
having less or what you don't have... that is the experience you create for
yourself. How can I tap into the prosperity and abundance available to me?
Those on the call shared examples of how this is working in their lives. By
documenting the evidence of it working you gain more confidence that you
can manifest what you want. Stay in a place of powerful positive thinking.
Garbage in= Garbage out. Be true to yourself.

Instead of focusing on more money. Try focusing on sharing your strength
and talents in the world. What cause are you committed to? If you feel it in
your gut, there's a good chance there is someone waiting to experience it.

3- Gratitude- Acknowledge what you have and be grateful for the abundance
(even if you have a hard time seeing it... it's there). Notice and acknowledge
the gifts adversity provides.

4- Come from a place of curiosity- Ask deeper -questions-. Be curious to the
abundance available to you. When stuck give your mind space for ideas to
manifest. This often occurs when you have been fully focused on something
then break away to do laundry, drive somewhere, or do a routine task...
suddenly the idea you've been waiting for just shows up.

"Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds
discuss people." Eleanor Roosevelt

5- Giving- You can't exchange what you don't have. But you are abundant.
You may have lots of love to share, art to share, leadership, clutter. In
giving you receive. Give in a way that is true to yourself.

"To have life more abundant, we must think in the limitless terms of
abundance." Rosweld Hitchcock

Wednesday!
