True Freedom to Be Who We Are
Heart of a Mother, Heart of a Woman, Heart of a Woman in Business, Quotations| No Comments »Surrender
When we are willing to surrender who we think we "should" be, true freedom is revealed and acceptance of "what is" becomes paramount.
Surrender is not about giving up your Essential Nature, in fact it means embracing it fully and completely. When you surrender to the "real you," self-acceptance becomes the order of the day. No more wanting to be different instead, acceptance gives away to understanding, love and kindness.
When we surrender, we are willing to release what we think is "right" for "what is." We are learning to accept. We can let go of the past we give the power of forgiveness room to blossom. When we are truly willing to surrender, our egos are put aside for the truth; the truth of our actions, our language and our thoughts. In acceptance, we are free to make the conscious powerful choices necessary to alter our lives without guilt, shame or doubt.

I had a chance to look at "Heart of a Woman" today. Wow! What a gold mine. It’s a really, really smart idea that can affect so many people positively. What a total, all-around winning work.

Sparkle-Tude: Keeping a Goal-Focused Sparkling Attitude
Heart of a Mother, Heart of a Woman, Heart of a Woman in Business, Heart of the Holidays, New Year's, Tips & Trivia| No Comments »Sparkle-Tude: Keeping a Goal-Focused Sparkling Attitude
by Sheryl Roush
17 STEPS TO FOCUSED GOAL-SETTING
1. Keep your self-talk positive, proactive and affirming.
2. Make sure the goal you are working for is something you really want,
not just something that sounds good.
3. Write your goal in first-person “I am” or “I have” as already
having achieved it.
4. Add feelings to your goal statement. (“I am excited about…”)
5. Ensure your goals are not in contradiction to any of your other goals.
6. Write your goal out in specific detail
(numbers, target date, locations, size, pounds dropped, dollar amount).
7. Make your goal high enough, and know that you are deserving of it.
8. Treasure Map your goal with inspiring visual images in front of you.
9. Read your goal OUT LOUD each morning when you wake up,
visualizing/feeling the completed goal (including smells, sights,
sounds, feelings, tastes).
10. Read your goal OUT LOUD each evening right before you go to bed,
visualizing/feeling the completed goal (including smells, sights, sounds,
feelings, tastes).
11. Create a target (realistic) timeline for the goal, with a step-by-step plan.
12. Set incremental benchmarks and highlight them on your calendar.
13. Surround yourself with supportive, positive goal-setting people.
14. Re-View, Re-Evaluate and Re-Write Regularly (every 3-6 months).
15. Look for unexpected opportunities, unusual happenings that could
relate to your goals, as these may be incredible and perfect opportunities
in disguise.
16. Reward yourself for taking incremental steps toward achieving
your goal.
17. Plan a celebration date of completion, announcing the party date
to your friends.
GOAL-FOCUS
Every time you make a decision during the day, ask yourself:
• "Does this take me closer to–or further from–my goal?"
• “Is this a distraction from–or attraction to–my goal?”
• “What is the NEXT most important thing to do?”
• “Is this my highest priority right now?”
My Goal: “I am/have_______________________________________________________________."
