Letter from the Editor FLAWSOME(adj.) an individual who embraces their “flaws” and knows they’re awesome regardless… UnkownYou do not have to be perfect to start, you just need to start and grow in the journey towards your perfections, learn as you go.If someone judges and ridicules you, know this, it has nothing to do with who you are, but it has everything to do with who they are.They are showing you who they are. Believe them the first time they show you who they really are.Forgive and love them anyway, for they can only love and like others to the capacity they love and like themselves. Just forgive them and move on without them in your life.Lisa Nicholas DEAR READER4VOL 1-Dec-22

Letter from the Editor No one is the unique you, you are a unique gift to the world.No One has your DNA, No one looks, walks, talks, or feels like you. No one has your fingerprints, your skin patterns, and even your eye patterns, you are a unique gift to the world, embrace all you are without anyone’s permission whatsoever. Love the first-rate version that you are and NEVER be a second-rate version of someone else. Never compare yourself to others, it takes you down a road on non-self-discovery.I hope whoever reads this magazine, that this is a way to help you in life guiding you onto your first step towards bringing you back home to who you are with peace.DEAR READER5VOL 1-Dec-22

The Japanese have a beautiful expression for this honest acknowledgement that true beauty is in the flawed, the perfection in the imperfection. Wabi sabi literally meaning finding beauty in imperfection – like a lotus flower, blooming from the deep mud below the surface.The French poet and Nobel Prize laureate Anatole France once said, “I cling to my imperfection as the very essence of my being”.It is amazing to think how much our values have changed in little over a century.You do not need to be perfect to start any creation, you just need to start and become perfect in your creations..FAIL LOADS AND ALWAYS FAIL FORWARD, BECAUSE THIS GIVES YOU VIENS OF GOLDEN STRENGTH PERFECTION INIMPERFECTION6VOL 1-Dec-22

VOL 1-Dec-22 7Life, for all of us, is a mosaic of the brutal and beautiful. Yes, every single human suffers this in their lives. And this is why I often cannot understand why some decide to focus on other’s imperfections as a curse to be held against the person they direct their judgements at.One realization I have come to, is those that judge other’s imperfections live in denial of their own, in fear of being judged.When we focus on others physical or emotional flaws, we are not letting them be who they are. We are judging them without knowing their situation, without knowing the right questions to ask that might get us closer to understanding their pain and suffering.People are not perfect. You are not perfect. Sometimes we make mistakes and there is nothing wrong with that. We are human, we make mistakes. It happens. I believe in forgiveness, healing and in understanding that we all have an inner wound that can't be fixed alone, so sometimes we lash out in anger as a result of trying to mask its existence.The greatest joys and sorrows in our lives may come from the same source, but sometimes it can seem like the joys are what sticks with us. The joy of learning, the joy of laughing with friends, we cannot forget about this because this is why we are here: for love, for compassion and for connection. Just love all who cross your path, you just do not know what they are going through. The world needs more love opposed to hateful & hurtful judgements.Written by Soar high Workshop

DO YOU HAVE TRAPPED EMOTIONS BLOCKING YOUR SELF-LOVE?Would you like to dial up your Self Love? Make more money? Have loving harmonious relationships? Self-Love is the foundation and the key to all of these. Self-love has been written about and explored by so many, however, few are able to fully embrace and fully embody self-love as the vibration of their lives. It takes practice, commitment, and determination. We use affirmations, inner child work, forgiveness, and other tools to learn how to love and approve of ourselves, yet still we all struggle with this. If you truly loved and approved of yourself, what would your life look like today? The gifts of self-love are unending, a life that works!. 8VOL 1-Dec-22

Page 9

“One area to take a look at when moving toward self-love is trapped emotions. Trapped emotions can keep you from loving yourself, forgiving others, having a loving relationship and stifle your career and finances. There are many ways to release trapped emotions. A very simple technique that allows you to release trapped emotions is a technique developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson which he describes in his book “The Emotion Code”. The mechanics of how we get trapped emotions is due to the fact that we shut down when we have a strong, overwhelming emotion. When this happens the body/mind/emotion ( your operating system) basically says “I can’t deal with this right now” and then shuts down, like a freeze frame, and holds that energy in its system. Trapped emotions disconnect us from our own innate wisdom and intelligence, thus blocking our connection to our own love and inner wisdom. We usually leave the present moment and go into overthinking about the future or past when this happens.Some examples of experiences that cause trapped emotions areo Loss of a loved oneo Divorce or relationship problemso Financial Stresso Miscarriage or Abortiono Any type of abusive relationshipo Abandonment o Rejection from loved ones9VOL 1-Dec-22

Page 10

“How many trapped emotions can we have? Dr. Nelson says sometimes over a hundred. This is not unusual as they are layered. When we clear 20 trapped emotions, we just start feeling lighter and more connected and in the present momentEverything is energy, so a trapped emotion is simply a ball of energy that is stuck in your emotional body. You can also have trapped emotions that are inherited from your ancestors, and trapped emotions you took on in Utero from your mother.Rosalyn Light is an Emotion Code Practitioner, Reiki Master, a top selling author on the DailyOM and teacher of the Awakening Your Light Body. She teaches classes and workshops globally. She is a Life Coach/ Mentor for her clients and students to help them to become the BEST version of themselves. To learn more about Rosalyn, please visit her website at www.rosalynlight.comThe Heart WallIn addition to having trapped emotions, you might also have what is known as a Heart Wall. This is a protection or a wall you have built around your heart to keep you from getting hurt. Having a heart will block many people from self-love, and sometimes we even turn that anger or hurt in on ourselves and sabotage our good. A heart wall is made up of trapped emotions, sometimes one, however, it can be layered with many different trapped emotions10VOL 1-Dec-22

Page 11

“Clearing your Heart Wall will allow you to love more deeply and trust yourself and others more. When you have a heart wall, it is typical to blame others rather than allow compassion and forgiveness to be experienced. We all get our feelings hurt from time to time however being willing to forgive and let go and move on in life is very challenging if we have a heart wall. We stay stuck in the relationship pattern or patterns that caused us to build the heart wall in the first place and usually attract another relationship similar to our previous relationship.To learn more about clearing trapped emotions you can get the book “The Emotion Code” by Dr. Bradley Nelson. Dr. Nelson has also certified hundreds of practitioners to facilitate this work and help others to clear their trapped emotions. If you would like to experience a session you can simply contact an Emotion Code Practitioner. This work is an amazing tool that will allow us to help our children, parents, and loved ones as you can help others clear their trapped emotions and heart wall.My own personal experience of clearing my heart wall, and trapped emotions has been uplifting, and inspiring and added so much depth, love, and satisfaction to my life, relationships, and career.Written by Rosalyn Light11VOL 1-Dec-22

Mindset& SuccessMy mantra in life Is ,”Can’t is for those in the graveyard, they can’t, we can” Life is about mindset which takes you to success. if you choose to adopt a sound and solid mindset for your success, then all will flow into your life, not over time but eventually if you keep programming your mind and the body system, it will happen. For me personally there is no such thing as retirement, the only day I retire is in the grave, I will rest in, and I will be making darn sure that I won’t take my gifts to the grave, like most do who would have been multi-millionaires or billionaires . These gifts are meant to be of service to help mankind, we are all born to do this while living in creation.I see people heading to retirement, and they start talking about it in their early to mid-50’s, it is like a program, programed into their mindset, that, “this is the way things are done around here”. I think this is wrong on so many levels, why? Let me tell you a story below.A near retired female often questioned her past life and how fast it had slipped by. She did feel like her life was very rewarding, however she felt like she just did not want to end up in retirement waiting for her to just end up in a grave. To her this was not life, she wanted more, way more than to accept all the mainstream societies accepted norms as normal. This is the day she decided she was going to not go to her grave like the high percentage do without questioning it, she decided she was going to do something that scared her and learning surfing was to be her first self-growth gift14VOL 1-Dec-22

Page 15

MINDSET JUST CHOOSE Her family decided she was mad, and it must be her old age kicking in, do you think their fears stopped her? No, she had made her mind up and she went ahead anyway. It turned out she was a natural and went onto surfing daily when she could, how old was she “67 years old” when she started to learn everything she did and continued right until she was in her late 80’s.This is not only what she went on to learn, she learned to rock climb and loved it also , it challenged her mind and body to persist on, she said. See mindset strength can give you success., you just need to choose, then make it happen. You are this powerful. FULL STORY IN THE NEXT SH MAGAZINE ON HOW TO.

YOUR MESS IS YOUR SUCCESSVOL 1-Dec-22 16The Road to Success Is a Total Mess and I won’t quit it.A success mindset is the product of mastering daily challenges. Your mental state determines how you face challenges, and how successful you will be when confronted by them. Can you succeed? Yes! You can succeed. You just have to dig deep to find your true self, your core and what makes you unique. Then apply this knowledge to your situation and move forward with strength and determinationWe are all born capable of doing anything we set our minds to, with repetition., Your mess becomes your success, even though it feels like a weight of prevention rather than forward movement., Your mess is enlightened steppingstones showing you what serves you and what does not, Embrace your mess and step into your success. Obstacles do not happen to you; they happens for youIn life, it’s not just the big things that matter. It’s the small moments that add up to become the big things. These seemingly insignificant choices in our daily lives determine how we feel, how we treat others and what kind of people we’ll become. Changing your mindset can help you live a more positive and productive life.The choices we make have consequences, but it is the result of our mindset that will change the outcome. If what you do does not move you toward your desired outcome, then stop doing it!The mind is a powerful tool, it can destroy your life and dreams or create the dreams you have always wanted to come true. The only thing that exists in any one of us is what we think, if we don’t program our mind to become all we are born to be and become, then we will never become., “I am”

Page 17

The life is about mindset, everything you need is in your brain system you just have to tap into it and release it. Mindset can be a curse or a blessing, what you decide to do with it will determine your success or failure.When we experience any form of discomfort, let it be physical or mental we tend to do the same thing over and over. We need to learn from that mistake and keep looking for ways to prevent us from making the same mistake again. It’s like mathematics if you get it wrong, go back and find out where you went wrong in the process so that next time you won’t make that mistake again.The only reason people fail, is because they program themselves to fail. Let’s change that now! We all have the gifts and talents that can help all of humanity. I believe that, and so do you, most likely.? If you believe this, then we should look to be the change that can help bring those changes into our world for the world.The only reason people fail, is because they program themselves to fail.

DRESS ON A BUDGET VOL 1-Dec-22 18Breakaway from the trap for falling for sales, they are designed for you to spend more, making you think you are getting a bargain when you are not. You don’t need to dress to impress others to fit in dress in style your way that suits you, when you are around real people, they want to talk with you not judge you for what you wear. 1. Be Unique YouAvoid trends and fast fashion, these fashions are trends and normally only last a season, which is designed to keep you following the statis quo, be unique to who you are and what you really like. You don’t need to spend to feel good to be who you are. Keep money in your pocket and don’t follow anyone but who you are.

Page 19

2. Stay away from SalesYes, we all love a sale, we have been programed to be this way, yet are we really saving? No, we are not, we end up spending way more, sales are designed this way. You also end up buying stuff you don’t really want or will wear, and this is a waste of money, make a list of what you really need and don’t venture past that list. 3. Trade clothing with friendsSo, you no longer like a piece of clothing. Now what? Don’t throw it in the trash. Hold a party a clothing swap party , they are fun, and it is like shopping., It is a great way to refresh your clothing for zero dollars. 4. More is less budget wise.Sometimes if you buy clothes that will last the years is a better way to spend money, buy some essentials that do cost a lot, that you know will last the years, clothes that do not date is the better way to go. Splurge on aa few beautiful accessories that go with everything, because in the long run you are saving money. Remember you are not defined by your clothes. 5. Love Your clothesIf you take care of your clothes, they will last the run. Wash them sparingly. When you wash your clothes wash them on gentle cycle in cold water and hang them to dry. Don’t use harsh washing powders or liquids, these tend to, yes clean them but wear out the materials faster., use organic gentle wash liquids and washing soda to soften the water, your clothes will last years if you love them right.VOL 1-Dec-22 19

VOL 1-Dec-22 20LOVEYOUR BODYEvery single human being on this planet deserves love, be it from others or ones-self., we deserve it. Your body deserves love also, through thoughts of self-love for the way you are in you’re here and now. It means having the pure golden glory of unconditional love for your body, because you body is an amazing creation that you are wondering around in. I know what it is like to not love one's body, because I added some extra of me to me, “weight” and was constantly coitized for doing this when I was so fit and slim all my life. Stupid negative comments from self-loathing people who like to transfer their self hate onto others who are in venerable situations… It is like they have a sniffer dog with them seeking people to run down. Stupid questions with Suttle undertows of judgmental put downs. Is all I got. .You use to be so pretty when you were slim, and fit. Don’t eat that, more weight goes on with that kind of food.. I can tell you; I don’t have these people in my life anymore, I remove people instantly form my life who are negative and abusive., because I love and like me in all my glory and in my flaws, this is all that matters to me. You’reperfectjust the way you are

Page 21

VOL 1-Dec-22 21LOVEYOUR BODYThe only real opinion that matters is yours’s. Never ever live your life based upon others' opinions, don’t let these kind of comments drown out your own inner voice. No one can think for anyone but themselves, their thinking is not who you are, only you can think and feel for you. Being comfortable in your won skin is what is important, so what that every human has carried extra weight sometime in their live, it is not who they are internally., it is an outside entity residing as a comfort blanket, for now.You mind has everything to do with weight gain and more than often it is due to trauma of some sorts during the grief period. It is a moment in time for your next best season about to happen. It is not who you are. Love you and your body, focus on what is important for you then you will never be swayed by nasty insensitive comments about your body.

VOL 1-Dec-22 23Photo by Jr KorpaMindfulness, what is this? It has meaning to many in different forms. Some say it helps reduce & manage stress, cope better with illness, reduce anxiety and even depression. For me personally it is focusing on the good only, being in calm moments when challenges arise, recognizing the challenges and breathing to calm the moment into beauty in one's thoughts. Thereby changing the outlook on the whole situation.When you practice mindfulness, you will notice you have the ability to relax more easily, have a greater enthusiasm in life, improving memory and a higher self-confidence.Mindfulness involves focusing your awareness on the present moment, paying attention to your environment, how you feel, MindfulnessBe in your moments in life. and your thoughts, in the here and now with full gratitude.In the next addition there will be a full article & a workbook for you to decide if mindfulness is for you.

‘It’s Okay to Say “No”.’Have you ever found yourself saying 'Yes, I can do that' whilst at the same time your brain is screaming 'What the hell are you saying! No, No, NO... you can't do it. NO MORE". And yet you accept the request being made of you regardless.'No', is a most powerful word. You could almost say "No" is a sentence in itself. The problem with the inability to say no, is that it highlights the fact that you have no boundaries. Embracing and mastering the ability of confidently say "No" helps you avoid being all things to everyone. It is you being in touch and honest with yourself. It can even be a form of stress relief.What's the point of saying yes, all the time, and then being resentful and angry. It's okay to say no. Women in particular have a problem with no. There is often an associated fear of not being liked of being judged. Of being seen as or thought of as selfish. And here's the thing, people are still going to like you, and if they don't, then perhaps the question needs to be asked... Is this relationship health for me?VOL 1-Dec-22 25

Page 26

VOL 1-Dec-22 26something like 'I'll need to get back to you" or "Let me check my schedule" or "I'll think about it". These are simple diversions especially if you are used to saying yes and overcommitting your time and energy.When asked to do something, take note of how you feel when the question is posed. If you feel tight in your chest or stomach, if you notice a silent inward groan, then that's your inner compass letting you know that 'NO' is the best response you can give. Establish yourself by asking:Is my emotional cup of self-love full to overflowing or do I need to top-up first before committing to more giving of myself. It’s Time For More Of The ‘P’’ WorkLet me start by asking you a question... How easy do you find it to give yourself permission to do something for you? Bit hard? Thought so. It's a common dilemma for women in general.Life is so very, very busy. And for some odd reason (probably some pattern of behavior we've been running forever), we continue to take on more and more. You find yourself running around like a chook with its head cut off getting nowhere fast!.So, another question... Do you know about the powerful 'P' word? No? It's called PERMISSION. Yep, it's really a little act of kindness towards yourself. I know, I had a bit of a hard time coming to terms with that one too. I would find myself thinking, 'I'd love to do ....,

Page 27

VOL 1-Dec-22 27but I don't have time'. 'I have ALL THESE THINGS to do first... and then it'll be dinner time'. 'I've got a to-do-list as long as my arm... I'm flat-out finding time to scratch myself, let alone finding time to meditate!' Sound familiar?Here's the thing... the longer you put off putting you at the top of your list, the sooner you will fall in a heap! It's that simple. Failing to take time for you is preparing you for failing yourself. I say that from a place of love, trust me.I have been one of those women who attempted to do it all. To take on EVERYTHING; to be all to EVERYONE; to continually PUT OFF doing what I knew I should be doing. The things that I had done that NOURISHED MY SOUL. Heaven forbids, someone think I'm a slacka, can't cope, got time on my hands, or that I'm a selfish prat! And you know what... eventually I felt like crap!IT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE!Let me ask you:How long are you prepared to continue doing the things that are depleting you?What will it take for you to say YES! to you & NO! to things that drain you?What would be possible if you lived your life from the perspective that you could... or rather CAN have a life that is big, and bold, and beautiful? A truly FABULOUS life.Now you may be thinking that life is pretty good... and

Page 28

VOL 1-Dec-22 28it may very well be. BUT let me ask, if you are truly honest, do you show up every day and shine? Do you look from the perception that life is about joy, not duty? That success is not about living up to someone else's or society's expectations, instead living up to your own expectations. We get one chance at life, why sacrifice your deepest desires to conform and fit in?When you choose to give back to yourself as much as you give to others, you will find your life will be greatly enriched. You will FEEL better. You will have more ENERGY. You will be HAPPIER. And that means you will be a nicer person to be around, you will inspire others, and you will be comfortable with who you are and what you do because you will be coming from a place of authenticity and love.This permission for self-care/self-love gig is not some airy-fairly, hoodoo-voodoo, woosy crap. It is real. It has a purpose. It is a MUST in your life. You will find that by taking the time to really LISTEN to yourself... you know those moments when you find yourself thinking ' I wish; if only; I should', you will get the answers you need. And then by choosing to do what is best for you, giving to yourself, your life will be transformed.This is about reconnecting with yourself. This is about being mindful and living in the moment. It's about being grateful for what you do have in your life. It's about feeling really connected.It's time to let go of thinking the busier you are, the more worthy you are. Time to release the weight of the world from your shoulders. It's time to bring in a little more fun. A little more joy. A little more you..Start today.Ask yourself: What is one thing I want to do more of? Now, think about how having more of that thing will that make you feel?‘P’’ Work

Page 29

VOL 1-Dec-22 29P WORK Ask yourself: What is one thing I can delete or delegate from your to-do-list? And then ask yourself how that will make you feel?And finally, what will you now tell yourself to be okay with this first change?I cannot stress enough the importance of taking great care you yourself. Giving yourself permission is the first step. You deserve this. You are totally worthy of being your number one!If you would like a helping kickstart hand to your self-care journey, why not join the 7 Day Self-Care Kickstart. It will give you a chance to test the waters, get some tips and have support. You have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain.L o v i n ' Yo u !When things are going well and you feel on top of it all, life is easy. What happens though when you're not feeling on top of things? We can be so busy with the day-to-day doings, taking care of everyone else's needs, that often our own needs fall further and further down the ladder, and before you know it, you are feeling totally out of synch with who you truly are. And you realize you have committed a big 'No, No' by neglecting the most important person... YOU.There is often a lot of talk about the IMPORTANCE of self-care. So, what is it?It is NOT an emergency response plan to activate when your stress levels are through the roof! The horse has already bolted by then.It is NOT about acting selfishly.It is NOT about doing more or adding more tasks to an already overflowing to-do list.

Page 30

VOL 1-Dec-22 30LOVIN YOU!It Is about letting go of frenzied schedules and meaningless activities.It IS about letting go of unhealthy behaviors.It IS about letting go of unserving attitudes like worry, guilt, and judgment.It IS about having BALANCE and FLOW in your life.Self-care is an INTENTIONAL way of living by which our values, attitudes and actions are INTEGRATED into our day-to-day routines.It’s being a WORTHY steward of the SELF – mind, body, and spirit.It's about being ALIGNED and CENTRED... on all levels.It's about giving yourself PERMISSION.If you cannot NURTURE and SUSTAIN yourself, you cannot be a provider and careR of others.

Page 31

You will find that all areas of your life are interconnected, ignore one and it affects the other areas.Start small. A simple daily practice of being still and breathing may be all you can managed at the moment, and that's okay. It's a good start. As you progress with your practice, you will work towards understanding yourself on a much deeper level. You will increase your awareness as to what is really important, and what you need to change or let go of completely.AWARENESS is key! I cannot stress that enough. You will discover what lights you up, what brings you peace, what you love to do that will nourish you inside and out. Connect with your spirit as often as possible as this will greatly develop your intuition.Listen to your heart. What do you need for you? Take some time each day to nourish you mind body and soul…then you will be on your way to living a life of true happiness and fulfilment.Teach some of your simple rituals to your family so they can start building their own self-care practice. The earlier one receives this gift, the quicker it becomes second nature. It will teach a lifelong lesson of awareness, self- worth, and self-love.In today's world we often equate being really busy with getting things accomplished. The thing is, whilst you can achieve a great deal doing non-stop, you also allow for your stress levels to increase, you feel pretty flat and eventually you're exhausted. When you take time for yourself, to slow down and take some time to align yourself, you will find that you get a lot more done in a shorter amount of time because you are acting with a clear mind and a relaxed energy.Make sure you do something each day to fill your cup to overflowing. Then you can give to others from the overflow and still have a full cup for yourself. Win/win!

The responses astounded me because even though I am very aware that it is a big thing, I've been there let me tell you, I did not realize how early this loss of identity begins for some. And by that, I mean for some it started when they announced their pregnancy ... 'It became all about the baby, like I didn't matter anymore'. There were others that had it hit once the baby came along ... "I was so overwhelmed; I no longer knew what to think. I hardly recognized myself." And for many others it has been a sense that life gradually became a whirlwind of doing and being there for others, and dreams were put on the back burner... And have stayed there.There is also that little inner voice constantly telling you to 'hurry up', 'get through the list', 'don't forget to do...', 'no you can't attend 'X', you've got too much on your plate'... and the list goes on and on and on. Not to mention we have a tendency to feel we can 'PROVE' ourselves by saying "YES" to absolutely everything and keep taking on more and more. My goodness... who the hell are we trying to kid?Identity is the strongest force in human personality. We all have a deep & abiding need to remain consistent with how we DEFINE ourselves. Any change you make within yourself will depend on your ability to expand this identity.Our identity is in a constant state of evolution. It changes with each new phase of life. Think about it, one day you are a student, the next you are a career woman. One day you are single, the next you are married. One day you are a wife, the next you are a mother. And although all these things impact on personal identity, they do not define who you really are. These titles are all roles that you have. Your true authentic identity is about your individuality, your uniqueness, your characteristics, your personality, purpose, and passion.As life goes on people tend to answer the question of who they are according to the box that is expected or perceived at the time. More often than not the question is 'What do you do?'. When I ask, 'Who are you?' of clients, very few can give a clear answer, it is all about the things that they do, the roles they fill. Finish the sentence "I am...". What comes up?Many of us live our lives trying to be all things to all people, and therefore, of course we are going to lose sense of who we are within. This eventually leads to feelings of disconnection. VOL 1-Dec-22 33

VOL 1-Dec-22 34We lose ourselves in the sheer energy of living, getting caught up in the busyness of everything - family, work, activities, would/could/should do's, expectations, demands, and those pesky-never-ending-to-do-lists - and so our concept of TRULY LIVING, APPRECIATING and ENJOYING things becomes very distorted. Our view of who we are becomes foveal and somewhat constricted.Life is constantly evolving. If we become too tied to our role as our identity, it will create more challenges wondering who the hell we are down the track. A perfect example of this is the empty nester syndrome. Children grow up, leave home and parents (I have particularly seen this with mums), can struggle with identity which has been bought about by a change in life roles. The same can be said when identity is tied to work, or career, or a great athlete who suddenly finds they are retrenched or retired due to injury. The impact can be crushing.If they're identity from a main life role change, it creates an identity crisis which can lead to feeling lost, confused, and great sadness. I have even seen some become profoundly depressed. With major changes in life, there is the loss of identity and that often comes a period of grieving.The key point to remember is that although these roles play a huge part in life, your true identity is determined by your core beliefs, your values, your passions, your openness, your expression, and your empowerment. It is the connection with that inner aspect of self, your TRUE SELF, and sadly, many feel completely out of touch with that beautiful forgotten person. Have you ever looked in the mirror and asked:

"Who are you? Where are you? To reconnect with your true self, you must be prepared to take time to let her shine through. Take time and nurture yourself. Explore your values and beliefs. Discover your strengths and know what lights you up. Acknowledge your limitations and grow... never be afraid to ask for help. No-one can do everything, all of the time, for everyone, after all. Get clear on what you want from life, your goals, what direction do you want your life to take. Where are you sitting in life right now?Being your true authentic self means you will have a sharp awareness of your habits, of what needs to change and of what you can and need to expand. Speak your truth, be courageous, love yourself unconditionally ... the same way you do your loved ones.By living in the present moment, you will have a full cup and be living your best life... and to that I say you are clear on your identity as YOU.

VOL 1-Dec-22 41Recipe for ChangeBreath focus helps you concentrate on slow, deep breathing and aids you in disengaging from distracting thoughts and sensations. It's especially helpful if you tend to hold it in your stomach.o Take a few deep breaths to calm your mind, relax your body, then take a deep breath in through "your nose" to the count of seven. Hold it for the count of seven and force it out to the count of six and repeat the cycle 10 times three times each day x 3, o You can do the breathing technique when tension arises to calm your mind for positive forward focus thinking instead of clouded thoughts that don’t serve you. o When you feel under tension, recognize your thoughts, step to the right and say, I know what you are doing and say, I won’t accept this thinking, say it outload, do the breath technique above and then step back to the right and get back to tasks at mind. Being able to concentrate and remain focused on an activity is one of the most important skills for success in life. However, it can be difficult to maintain concentration when we experience distracting thoughts or emotions. Mindfulness—the practice of focusing on being present in the moment, letting go of judgments, and training the mind—can help you, keeping your attention on what matters.Breathing is an automatic process and is largely controlled by our autonomic nervous system. The truth is that you can learn to control your breathing at will, when and where you want, as long as it doesn’t cause any harm to your body. Breathing exercises done correctly can be a great way to reduce anxiety and get over panic attacks, chronic pain, or anxiety disorders.With Soar High Mindset breathing technique , you'll learn how to change the way you think, feel, and act so that you can become happier and more successful in both your personal and professional life. As hard as it is to believe, the brain is incredibly malleable—and with the right techniques and strategies, you can improve your life in measurable ways.When we are stressed out or anxious our breathing pattern changes, which can contribute to health problems. The first step to change your breathing is to recognize that you do have control over it.

VOL 1-Dec-22 44Why Breath Work is Good for YOUBreathing for awareness, relaxation, improves focus, aids in positive self-development. boost immunity. process emotions, heal emotional pain and trauma. develop life skills.Every system in the body relies on oxygen. From cognition to digestion, effective breathing can not only provide you with a greater sense of mental clarity, but it can also help you sleep better, digest food more efficiently, improve your body's immune response, and reduce stress levelsThe term "fight or flight" is also known as the stress response. It's what the body does as it prepares to confront or avoid danger. When appropriately invoked, the stress response helps us rise to many challenges. But trouble starts when this response is constantly provoked by less momentous, day-to-day events, such as money woes, traffic jams, job worries, or relationship problems. “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” Marcus AureliusFor many of us, deep breathing seems unnatural. There are several reasons for this. For one, body image has a negative impact on respiration in our culture. A flat stomach is considered attractive, so women (and men) tend to hold in their stomach muscles. This interferes with deep breathing and gradually makes shallow "chest breathing" seem normal, which increases tension and anxiety.Shallow breathing limits the diaphragm's range of motion. The lowest part of the lungs doesn't get a full share of oxygenated air, that can make you feel short of breath and anxious.Deep abdominal breathing encourages full oxygen exchange — that is, the beneficial trade of incoming oxygen for outgoing carbon dioxide. Not surprisingly, it can slow the heartbeat and lower or stabilize blood pressure.

VOL 1-Dec-22 45Practicing Breath FocusBreath focus helps you concentrate on slow, deep breathing and aids you in disengaging from distracting thoughts and sensations. It's especially helpful if you tend to hold it in your stomach. First Step: Sit somewhere quietly, relax your body and mind, then take a deep breath in through your nose to the count of seven to expand your lungs, hold for the count of seven and last breath the air out to the count of six.

You might get tense.Don't be too passive, either.

STOP LIVING IN LIMITING BELIEFS. What are limiting beliefs? Limiting beliefs are a state of mind that you think is 100% truths, which restricts you from doing certain things. The limiting beliefs don’t have be always about you, either. They can be about ideas, the way the world works, how you communicate with others and how you act around others, due to the worries of what others feel towards you. Limiting beliefs hold you back in your thought processes, they offer a falsehood front that you deem true, when all it produces is an arrogant mindset towards achieving, 10 common limiting beliefs.I don’t have enough money: “I don’t have enough money to enjoy my life.”o I’m not good enough: “I’m not good enough to manage this project.”o I’m too old or too young: “I’m too young to be a manager.”o I’m not good enough: “I’m not good enough to manage this project.”o I’m too old or too young: “I’m too young to be a manager.”o I don’t have enough time: “I don’t have enough time to invest in myself.”o I’m not smart enough: “I’m not smart enough to lead this meeting.”o I don’t have enough experience: “I don’t have enough experience for this big career move.”o I’ll never be successful: “I’ll never be successful in my industry.”o I’ll never be one of the best: “I’ll never be one of the best on the team.”o I’m not talented enough: “I’m not talented enough to get a promotion.”o I’ll never be a great leader: “I’ll never be a great leader with my lack of confidence.”VOL 1-Dec-22 47What if you could remove your limiting beliefs that are holding you back from success.

VOL 1-Dec-22 48DON’T ALLOW YOUR THINKING TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE FOR PREVENTIONSThe life you live is your choice, why? Because you are the creator of your life, you’re thinking, everything you do in each of your days. There are so many people out there that shift the blame, yet right from the moment we wake, we choose to stay in bed or get up, we choose to have a shower straight away or get up and have a coffee, the rest of our day is made by us choosing what to do and what to think, no one can decide for you what you are to do or what your day will look like. The moment we own our lives and blame no one we have arrived home to all we are and were born to be like the creator created us to be. If we have the confidence to be who we are then life kicks in with wonderful possibilities flowing towards the creations in our lives. This only builds upon loving the life we live.

VOL 1-Dec-22 49LIMITINGLimiting beliefs stem from one place, and this is your mind., your brains program is to keep you safe from pain in the future. These stem from experiences you went through in your life and because you survived this, it is deemed as safe in your brain’s programed mind.Limiting beliefs tend to have stemmed from early childhood and progressively evolve and reshape throughout your life as you encounter new experiences. You may have experienced that caused you to fear similar situations or you are scared of the outcomes., limiting beliefs prevent you from experiencing positive new beliefs from forming. BELIEFSMy most inner thoughts were, well hang on, you are not me, I cannot think, walk, talk, or feel the way you want me to , why? Because I am not you. I do not have your DNA, I do not walk, talk, or feel like you, I do not even have your fingerprints, and I sure as hell do not look like you, therefore you’re thinking that my thinking is wrong, is wrong for you, “not me” in the big picture of things, actually holds no real weight. I came across a golden wise comments once from an amazing coach, “William Whitecloud” He said, If I don’t work for some, too bad I work for me, I added in the extra part, “ I was created this way… I totally resonated with his “Proverb” as I call it. I often use that to anyone who wishes to try and be verbally judgmentally abusive towards me I then smile and just walk away. Hold your own power no one has the right to take it away, and if they do you allowed this to happen, then you are a part of that creationYou have the choice to allow yourself to be a part of limiting your belief system thinking, it is as simple as that. I know what it is like to live with limiting beliefs, I know what it is like to be rubbished constantly for just thinking the way I do. I also know what my inner thoughts were when I was abused for just being me. it might surprise you that it was not what you might be thinking.

Alone, Not LonelyThe holidays are upon us and while some will be celebrating with loved ones, others will tune out the world to foster their own personal space. If that’s you—and it could be—it doesn’t have to mean isolation from others. The holidays can be a time for bonding and connecting with those who matter most.Just because you are single during these times, does not mean you need to feel like an outsider.Single by choice? You’re not alone. This time has given me a gift to focus on myself and the time for a self-discovery journey.Some people will judge you because of it, saying that you must be unhappy or lonely. I have been single for many years, by choice and I can confidently say that this time has given me a gift to focus on myself, to have time for self-discovery and learning new things. We too often base our self-worth on the opinions of other people. People even judge us for not getting married or having children. No person should live like a monkey in their opinionated cage - always having to do the same thing every day.It is very common for people to make a number of assumptions about a single person, such as, ”You’re probably not good enough for anyone”, or “It must be your fault that you are still single”.These judgements may lead us to believe that we are somehow incomplete and that there must be something wrong with us if we can’t find someone to love and care for us in the same way we wish to take care of them.This unrealistic expectation causes us to judge ourselves, which causes us to become less attractive as a partner. This is to some level inside us, we feel unlovable, which prevents us from having confidence in expressing our full potential.VOL 1-Dec-22 54

Searching for a partner is not the ultimate goal in life. It is possible to have a satisfying and full life without having a partner. You don’t need to just settle because settling is a road to disaster and who really wants this? You are not alone, you have friends and family, therefore you are not really alone, only sometimes.

You may just be seeing a big rucksack… which it is. But what you can’t tell is that the bag and his contents weight 51.2#.Saturday morning while Brian was at the gym, I decided to walk out to the Safeway ear is (about a 15-minute walk) to get the supplies I needed to bake a cake for our friends' birthday.Time was of the essence on Saturday, so I didn’t want to wait for BG to come home with the car.No problem - I love to walk. What I didn’t really factor in was how heavy the bag would be with all the stuff in it. And as I lifted it to park it on my back, I realized I was in for quite the trip.I had no doubts about carrying a 50# bag I know I’m strong but let tell you…It was heavy AF.And my already sore body from training was not happy with me.

Of course, everyone is different, and how it works has to do with your age, diet, and existing health.But for many people, Turmeric is a Godsend, as effective as some prescription drugs, but at a much lower cost.Thousands of studies have shown the following benefits…o Supports healthy inflammatory response. o Supports digestion and a healthy gut.o Helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.o Supports a healthy liver.o Encourages deep sleep.o Helps with belly fat and weight-loss.o Supports healthy brain function.o Can support allergy symptom relief. o Encourages elevated mood. However, There's A Problem with Most Turmeric...When people hear, that turmeric can help improve their health, many simply start eating raw turmeric root. They juice it, shred it, add it to stir-fries, stews, soups and curries, even throw a little piece in their smoothie.And while all of those are great ideas, you will NOT feel the full effects, and there are two big reasons why…The active ingredient in Turmeric root is called curcumin, but it’s only about 2.5% of the raw plant by weight. That means you would need to eat about a 1/5 pound of it to really feel anything.Turmeric is not highly absorbable by the body on its own. Even if you are eating it by the handful, you need a booster compound known as pipeline (from black pepper) to unlock the full potential and increase bioavailability.That’s why many people rely on supplements because the raw compounds simply don’t have enough potency to make much of adifference.VOL 1-Dec-22 61

VOL 1-Dec-22 72Common Mistakes Made in RelationshipsAnd How to Rectify Them.Jeff SchneiderJeff Schneider, C N.Y. State licensed clinical Social Worker and Relationship expert has helped people from all walks of life struggling with relationship problems, substance abuse, emotional eating and other addictions, depression, fear, low self-esteem and how to integrate counselling and spirituality.https://www.facebook.com/HealingWellnessCounselingRelationships are rarely as easy or simple as people wish they would be. And unfortunately, in my 37 years as a therapist I can tell you that these challenges affect everyone the same regardless of their age, education, income levels, race or nationality. In the love game, the mistakes and challenges that plague people have more in common with the underlying psychological reasons than some other arbitrary demographic reason.Let me share a few of the more common mistakes:• having unrealistic expectations of the relationship and/or the person you’re involved with• having “unresolved” feelings or pain from the past that interfere with enjoying the present• being overly passive OR overly controlling• having difficulty addressing things directly• being afraid of conflict and avoiding addressing your real needs or feelings• constantly putting someone else’s needs ahead of your own • constantly trying to “fix” others• misbelieving that someone can “complete” you or make you whole• failing to be honest or honorable in your relationships• communicating in a blaming and shaming mannerAnd of course, there are others. Sexual issues, differing values and being intolerant of differences between you and those that you love to top a very big list of issues that lead to stress in relationships.While there are many challenges thankfully there are also many things that can be done to improve your relationship. These include

Page 73

Focus on yourself. This is extremely important. Often people focus on others and want them to change. You cannot change, control, or fix someone and you are not responsible for how someone feels or acts. You can only be responsible for yourself. Cultivate an awareness of your habitual mental and emotional patterns and reactions so that you know what your internal conflicts and “issues” are and see what you can change.Stop Blaming Others. People will also often start a conversation by saying “you…” and then cite what the person is doing or not doing. This typically results in the listener feeling blamed and becoming defensive and angry and blaming back. Avoid this and again, keep the focus on yourselfBe assertive and direct. If you feel controlled let the person who is being controlling know this and express how you feel when it is happening. Identify what you want and need in your relationship and express these directly. Don’t expect the other person to read your mind. Show appreciation for the person you are relating to and for yourself also.Listen closely to what is being said and reflect back what you heard. Often strong feelings can be evoked when we are communicating about deep personal issues. These feelings can interfere with our ability to pay attention and can also prompt us to want to defend ourselves and/or rebut what is being said. Continue to pay attention to what is being said rather than preparing a defense or rebuttal.VOL 1-Dec-22 73Photo by Taisiia Stupak

Page 74

Be patient, maintain eye contact and give your undivided attention when listeningAccept constructive criticism. Ask yourself if what is being said to you is true and, if so, see it as an opportunity to make healthy changes.Say ‘because our relationship is important to me’ as you address concerns.Use “I” statements rather than “You” statements. An example of this would be, “I feel angry when you leave your dirty dishes in the sink and your dirty laundry on the floor” rather than saying, “you are such a messy slob”.Set aside time to talk and share regularly. Especially if you are a parent try to set time aside to focus on your relationship with your partner. Ask your partner what they need when your partner says that they want to speak with you. Ask them if they simply want to be listened to and/or whether they would like input as well.Negotiate and compromise. Things cannot always go the way that we want them to. Putting aside our needs, at times, is healthy. Try this exercise, especially when things get heated, when you and/or your partner frequently interrupt one another or when you are simply not hearing and understanding one another-----one person begins and has two minutes to say whatever they want to. At the end of the two minutes the listener, rather than responding to the content of what has been said, says, “what I hear you saying is” and simply repeats what they have heard. They then ask, “is that accurate”? The speaker says yes or corrects an inaccuracy. The listener then takes their turn for two minutes. The process is repeated.Please note that some of the suggestions above do not apply in situations that involve violence and abuse.Under the best of circumstances know that relationships are challenging, and that, as noted above, there are many things that you can do to improve your relationship. If you cannot do this on your own, then seek professional help to assist and support you..Written by Jeff SchneiderVOL 1-Dec-22 74

VOL 1-Dec-22 79Why Accountability is myWord of the year Each year I chose a word of the year and for 2023 Accountability jumped out to me as the word of the year for 2023.By Gordon JenkinsAccountability Mentor and Global 200 Voice on Leadership.Choosing a word of the year helps me to clarify and focus on who I want to be and what I want to accomplish in the next year. It serves as a mental mentor for me.Simply possessing a word is not enough. It does not mean that my journey through the rest of the year will be easy. It is, however, instilled in me on a daily basis as I question myself.• Is it visible to me and my network?• Am I continuously evaluating my behaviors to ensure they are consistent with the word?• How does it affect my behaviors• How do I feel about it• How am I experiencing it• I am owning itI defined my word of the year as actions speak louder than words and it’s already making a difference. My actions are much clearer, more significant, and more regular.I’m owning my choices. The rewards (yes accountability is all about reward) are accelerating the motivation to succeed.It takes 21 days to form a habit. That means 17 positive habits will be generated in 2023.Embedding a Culture of Accountability.Let us begin with a little narrative about four individuals who go by the names Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an essential task that needed to be completed. Everybody was invited to assist. Everybody was certain Somebody would do it.

Page 80

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody was irritated since it was Everybody’s job. Everybody assumed Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.I'm not sure who wrote this tale initially, but every time I read it, I say to myself, who wants to work in this sort of culture? A culture of pointing the finger and blaming one another.With a mindset of accountability, there is no blame. Individuals accept full responsibility for their actions and outcomes. To move forward we review, react, and reset.The primary reason accountability has historically been seen adversely and forced upon.Pressure to do because of someone else’s agenda is not effective or sustainable. It lacks innovation, creativity, and spirals culture one way – downward.I'm sure you've heard of Wordle, the game in which you must guess a word in six attempts. A friend highlighted his children's school ride sharing program me. Everyone is playing Wordle, competing to see who can build the longest string, which families can make the longest string, and whose ride shares have the longest combined string. It's all in good fun, but at the heart of the game is accountability. If you miss one day, your string will be cut off. Accountability. There is no hierarchy, and everyone is aware of their particular responsibilities.Above all, the friend stated that everyone is assisting one another, exchanging information, and communicating. Indeed, ride sharing has evolved into something to look forwards to at the start and end of the day, rather than a time sink for parentsHow to foster a healthy accountability cultureMy success is centered around assisting others to making a difference and, in doing so, having a good influence on those around them - creating a better culture. People-blaming does not produce amazing results; accountability, on the other hand, does.I see accountability in a very different perspective to blame.A culture of accountability fosters strong morale, allowing people to take responsibility of their own situations, to take pleasure in their work, leaders to picture their vision becoming reality.VOL 1-Dec-22 80

According to the Harvard Business Review, in 2020, 82 percent of executives admitted to having "little to no" capacity to properly hold others responsible. According to Gallup, just 14% of employees believe their performance is handled in a way that encourages them. It's no wonder that 69 percent of employees don't believe they're living up to their potential at work.n previous study, 91% of respondents indicated "increasing the ability to hold people responsible in an effective way" is one of their organization's top leadership development priorities.There are several ways to reap the benefits of an accountable mindset both professionally and in your personal life.Written by Gordon JenkinsVOL 1-Dec-22 81Accountability

VOL 1-Dec-22 84Manure, if properly Processed Written By Whiskey Holcombe:https://www.facebook.com/groups/whiskey.youniversityWhiskey YOU-niversity | Breaking Patterns - Building BackbonesE: palmtreeelegy@gmail.com“Manure, if properly processed, will become flowers, fragrance, and fruit.” -Sadhguru. Alchemy isn’t just for the mythical times of King Arthur and those wizards who are looking for the spoils of the world. Those stories are about building the ego, anyway. Alchemy, as we’re learning in modern day, is the process of flipping the script on the shovel of shit that has been handed to us in this world and turning it into an amazing, flourishing growth medium for life. True empaths are masters at this..Empaths are presented truckloads of shit throughout their entire existence. At first it feels like a cruel joke in a prison of misery. But then, one day, we decide that we’re tired of taking everyone’s shit. Tired of owning what isn’t ours, and we’re ready for prettier pastures. At that point, we finally stop taking on new shit that isn’t ours, but we still have to do something with the piles of stink that are sitting back there in the shadows. It smells, it festers, and in the huge piles, it takes up valuable space. It blocks the light from getting through to anything behind or beneath it.This, in a word, is alchemy. Alchemy is the process of taking one material and turning it into something else. This usually involves high heat or high pressure to get to the wanted outcome. Our lives, souls, and understanding of the universe around us go through this process also

Page 85

VOL 1-Dec-22 85ESSENCE OF CHANGED e v e l o p s S t r e n g t h & B e a u t yWhen we start dismantling that pile, one little scoop shovel at a time, we learn that this massive pile of decades (or centuries) old manure is best disseminated into places where it’s useful. The gardens of our heart can gain so much from the lessons and nutrition that comes from composting the hate, abuse, insecurity, and “generational curses” that have been heaped on that pile.Honestly, I don’t believe that there are generational curses, as far as curses go. We don’t intentionally hex our future progeny with self-hate and misery. What we do is fail to recognize our own pile of shit and we pile it up in that barn with everyone else in our family. Whoever inherits the barn then has to decide what to do with it. So many decide to leave that door locked tight, while heaping their own shit in through a window. They add to it without ever giving thought to how much they’re contributing to the family barn that is now bulging at the seams..And then, an alchemist is born into the family. The one, who’s almost always the “Black Sheep”, who refuses to pick up that generational shovel and toe the line. The one who is deemed difficult, crazy, the dreamer, or the troublemaker. Take your pick. The list of labels for the one that steps out of line is endless. But it doesn’t matter. They are the ones born with the tiny spade in their hand. Eventually, they learn to unlock that barn door, don proper protection, and face the beast head on. It’s brutal. It’s dark, it’s dirty, and the visuals keep you awake at night. But little by little, the pile surrenders to the shovel. And where does it all go?

Page 86

Well, it doesn’t really go anywhere so much as it changes. One shovel at a time, it is mixed in and blended with the foundations of life. It’s grounded into the garden of the soul. It’s spread out, diluted, and applied to where it will best serve its purpose in small quantities for the biggest impacts. It’s alchemized...It’s turning shit into sunshine. It’s the foundation for growth, It’s the foundation on which life exists. The negative energy is given so much love and light that it transforms itself into fruit bearing energy. It becomes the soul’s sustenance, fruit, of which the empath can then give freely to those who are seeking seeds to plant in their own garden:, fertilized with their own manure pile. They must do the work in their own barn or they're never going to get to the garden. The empath may suggest to them which direction to shovel and what process to use, but we will never shovel for someone else again. We’ve learned that the lessons are in the process. The alchemy. We’ve also learned that most of the time, the best way to assist someone with their barn is by simply holding the door…Written by Whiskey HolcombeVOL 1-Dec-22 86“Each new season grows from the leftovers from the past. That is the essence of change, and change is the basic law.” —Hal Borland

If you choose to allow yourself to be hypnotized, the so-called “trance-like state” will enable you to enter into a simple state of focused attention. You will find that your mind is in a very relaxed state. This in turn makes it easier for you to accept suggestions and together with suggestions you can also imagine possibilities.To be hypnotized you have to want to be hypnotized.You must be open to making changes in your life.Remember you are always in control.So, you then want to know how you can use hypnosis.There are many practical applications, and you will find references if you search for it where they document it has assisted with the treatment of:• Chronic pain• Pain during labor• Cystic fibrosis• Headaches and migraines• Snoring• Irritable bowel syndrome• ADHD• Warts and psoriasis• Rheumatoid arthritis• Asthma VOL 1-Dec-22 87HYPNOSIS MAKES YOU RECEPTIVE TO CHANGE Did you know that most people fear the idea of hypnosis more than hypnosis itself?Why is that so? It really goes back to that people do not really understand what hypnosis is and the power it has. People think they may go into a trance from which they will not be able to wake up. Others think a hypnotherapist will take control of their mind as part of some master plan. However, I can assure you that neither of these two belief patterns has any merit at all

Page 88

VOL 1-Dec-22 88I was fascinated to find references to having been successfully used to facilitate dental and surgical procedures without the need for anesthesia. Yes, really!Do you recall that you catch yourself daydreaming while reading a book or watching a movie or doing other activities - that’s exactly what hypnosis is like. It’s a time when you lose yourself in what you’re doing, and your attention is focused entirely on the act you’re performing to the exclusion of everything else happening around you.So, during a hypnotherapy session, the therapist helps you to achieve this daydream-like state in your own way on purpose. It’s a time when you can shut out all external stimuli and direct your attention to a single thought. This then helps you fire up your imagination and switch that part of your brain -your logical conscious mind. At this time, you are most susceptible to suggestionsSo, if you have mental blocks or an issue in your life you want to resolve, (it can be mental or physical ) then maybe you would consider hypnosis as a possible solution for you.Look around for a qualified hypnotherapist in your city, and in fact, in any city in the world and you will find someone to support you. Of course, you might prefer to tackle the problem in the comfort of your own home and get the benefits of using hypnosis audio MP3s..Whichever avenue you choose to take, hypnosis could turn out to be your new best friend, what you have been searching for. I have been using the hypnosis MP3 from inspire and it all started with getting a gift to try out. I like to try it before you buy it. A gift for you. http://hypnosislive.com/giftWritten by Julie Lassen

VOL 1-Dec-22 91TIMELESS FOCUSThe second week’s tasks. As per the first week’s tasksThe second task is to choose something that you would like to complete. Write this down in your journal and then write three things that will help you achieve this task at hand. You do not need to force yourself, just slow down and breathe and allow the natural flow of all that comes to your mind, The first showing of thoughts are the true ones, Trust and journal your thoughts as they come to the forefront. WEEK TWOIt just seems timeless to me, the design of the Old Harley Davidson Bikes. The minds behind this creation seemed impossible for those times, yet here we are years later, and the creation has evolved. If we focus on the end results then all is possible, we just need to learn how to REMAIN FOCUSED and work towards with full faith that all is possible. The Harley Davidson Motorbike is an example of when never to give up so as to leave a legacy for generations to come long after you are gone.

VOL 1-Dec-22 94How to make a living doing what you love by transitioning from a successful corporate job to the knowledge business.Have you ever questioned if you got what it takes to be successful as an entrepreneur or if you could start your own expert business as a coach, course creator or speaker/author?Have you questioned if anyone would want to learn from you?I for sure did.Despite starting my entrepreneurship journey back in 2014, I never considered myself an entrepreneur, let alone someone who could market my own knowledge online.During my first years as an entrepreneur back then, I mainly offered my services on a freelance basis and despite having a bit more freedom, it still felt I was employed.We all have these limiting beliefs about what we can doing/ achieve.For me that was very much around my limiting belief that I wasn’t made for entrepreneurship, as I did not consider myself someone who could come up with a winning business idea.Yes, sales & marketing had always been my superpower, but somehow, I have found it much easier to promote someone else’s products or services vs. these of my own.I had transitioned back in 2013 from a successful job in Hong Kong, where I was the Area Sales Manager for a Major Dutch Company in Homewares overseeing sales & marketing in 14 countries in Asia & Pacific. The most successful products that I sold at that time were high-end garbage cans and ironing tables (in case you’re Danny den Hartog

Page 95

VOL 1-Dec-22 95wondering, yes there are high end trashcans.Although I was successful from a business point of view, I caught myself asking, “Is this all there is for me”. I started to question the IMPACT I was making to make the world a better place. At some point I could not stand the pain and I decided to transition and move back to The Netherlands and change my career..Fast forward, I joined the knowledge industry back in July 2019 and launched my business officially a day after the birth of my second son Dalian.I started out reporting on other people’s knowledge and gradually have transitioned to marketing my own expertise, now running several successful coaching programs, an on-line course a Podcast.I truly believe that the knowledge industry is the greatest industry in the world to be in at the moment.We all have these unique skills and capabilities that we can market.just start digging a little and before you know it you will have discovered your hidden gems that you can sell to the world..The process of extraction of these diamonds, is where the true richness is. It may not always FEEL good, but the process of growth, equipping yourself with critical entrepreneurial skills is how you become, as Tony Robbins says: “become more valuable in the marketplace”.It’s hard to condense three years in a brief article, but the one fundamental truth I have found is that your personal brand is EVERYTHING. Most of us think that we need to come up with an amazing company name and then they end up spending years in building that company, whereas it is as simple as registering the URL with your personal name in there and the reality is that you can launch a knowledge business with just your social media profiles.I don’t know of many industries that require zero upfront investment and where there are immediate opportunities to market something that doesn’t even necessarily have to exist.

Page 96

The knowledge can just be in your head, and you just need to be one step ahead in the area that you’re teaching on. I now know tons of people who have made millions of dollars just being one or a couple of steps ahead of others that are looking to embark on similar paths.If this isn’t an exciting prospect, I don’t know what is.How great it is to start a business with zero upfront capital and just a social media profile that is required, where you can just be your authentic self and that authentic self will attract the Clients that resonate with your personality and unique abilities.As with most things in life that are worth our pursuits, the most important thing that is required is to actually put in the work and to keep on going.If there’s one piece of advice I can give, I’d give yourself sufficient runway to do this, as for most of us it does not happen overnight.This journey can get lonely at some points, so ideally get yourself a coach and mentor and make use of the various supportive communities out there especially on Facebook and surround yourself with likeminded peers on the same journeyTruth is that often our loved ones or immediate friends and family do not understand what we are doing and frankly they don’t have to. Believe in yourself, believe in your mission, believe that you can actually pull this off and keep going.I personally could not have made it to where I am right now without having various coaches and mentors on my side for the past three years. At the time of writing, I am in Dean Graziosi’s Private Mastermind group with thirty other entrepreneurs and the experience has been mined blowing.But I did not get there by chance, I worked my butt of for the past 3+ years and spend many, many late nights working on my landing pages, offers. Make sure you sell yourself daily on why you are doing this and get hungry, because without that hunger and drive you will not be able to persist. Having a compelling vision helps you to sustain this journey, but ensure you celebrate all the micro-wins in the process. Optimizing your personal Facebook profile for business is a micro-win. Knowing who you would love to serve is a micro-win. Getting in touch with them and start conversations is a micro-win. Celebrate the micro-wins as many micro-wins will lead to the bigger wins that we think we are after.VOL 1-Dec-22 96

I remember making my first online sale ever. I nearly jumped through the roof when I saw a popup on my phone saying I made a sale of EUR 79. It was that moment when I knew I figured this out. I actually got something working and someone was willing to pay for the service I invented.Many others will have similar stories, it is not about the actual result, but it’s about the feeling it creates. The truth is that in our lifetimes we have experienced that kind of feeling many, many times and intuitively we are looking for more of that. I’d like to encourage you to cherish this journey of growth. This is a remarkable process of self-discovery and growth, that often does not feel great because we fail forward. But as Tony Robbins says, when things get tough, we have a worthy opponent that allows us to build our muscles and come out stronger on the other side.The true beauty of this journey also lies in the encounters with our Ideal Clients. Seeing our clients achieve the transformations we have gone through and celebrating that with them is priceless.Whatever destination you are seeking to move towards, don’t forget to cherish the journey. Live in the process. As Eckhart Tolle says: “Live in the Now”.Finally, as most of us are high achievers, don’t make the costliest mistake of them all, the mistake of sacrificing what matters most in life at the expense of reaching your goals (e.g., your health, your loved ones).Know your values and what is truly important to you. What if we DECIDE to BE that person that we want to become RIGHT NOW. This IS possible! You are destined to live the life of your dreams. You absolutely GOT this!Lots of LoveDanny den HartogVOL 1-Dec-22 97

VOL 1-Dec-22 98YOUR Happiness3 Keys to Understanding YOUR HappinessMy wife and I married a little over 3 years ago. After we said those two magical words, “I do,” we left the sight of our wedding, and treated our guests to the meal of all meals - a buffet. Few things help to bring joy to the people around me than the option to choose what (and how much) they want to eat.As we were standing outside the restaurant, waiting for everyone to get there, we were talking to my new Parents-in-Law. My Mother-in-Law looked me right in the eye, then with a head nod toward my wife, she said, “Thank you so much for making her happy.”I then looked her right in the eye, gave a slight shrug of my shoulders, and said to her, “I’m sorry, but that’s not my job.” Taken aback, a glare started to form in her eyes..So, I quickly continued, “I’m of the opinion that no one, and I mean no one, can make us happy

Page 99

VOL 1-Dec-22 99We are responsible for our own form of happiness. Others can contribute to, or take away from our happiness, but we have the choice to make ourselves happy.”With a somewhat satisfied nod of her head at my further explanation, she understood the point I was making.Happiness is often misconstrued and maligned by those who “just aren’t feeling it.” Some find it unattainable. It has also been described as a big wide smile, or a feeling of satisfaction in a moment. But it is so much more than that.Quite simply, happiness is an emotion; like any other. It has its up and downs. It comes and it goes. Many define it as a “state of being happy,” which is a tad oversimplified.There are several forms of happiness, and there are ways to make it a bigger part of your life. I have found three simple keys to understanding my own happiness, and I would love to share them with you..1. Happiness is a ChoiceI know. It sounds smug. So smug that as soon as some of you saw that line, you stopped reading. If you are still reading, there’s obviously more to it than a simple platitude. That simple phrase above often garners one of two extreme responses:A: “It’s not that simple! For instance, depressed people can’t “choose” to be happy…”OR B “You’re darn right it’s a choice! I don’t know why people can’t just be happy.”

Page 100

VOL 1-Dec-22 100I’m more of a seeker of the middle ground. And there’s also a huge middle ground between those extremes. There’s that middle ground where we can find a mutual understanding in seeing where a person might obtain their happiness. We can also see what leads to someone feeling unhappy and how we can help them in those low moments.Happiness the ultimate “inside job.” There are times in your life when you have chosen to be happy. Were you happy when you graduated from school? Were you happy seeing your child on stage during their first school play? What about when you said, “I do?”There have also been times when happiness has eluded you. When your best friend told you their spouse cheated. When your kid made a mess everywhere, even though they knew better. When you had to make the choice to go separate ways from a partner with whom you were no longer compatibleHAPPINESSTHE CHOICE IS IN YOUR HANDS AND MIND Happiness is not an “all of the time” thing. Anyone who says they are always happy is lying to themselves and to you. Or they have something wired in them that doesn’t recognize emotion. And that’s not healthy..

Page 101

When a loved one dies, a person is not going to be in their “happy place” immediately. Depending on the relationship with the deceased, it may take time to restore that joy again. By giving themselves a chance to grab on to the cherished memories created with the one who has passed, it can put a person back on track in finding their happiness faster than holding on to the grief of the passing for an indeterminate period of time. Allowing oneself the proper time to grieve is a highly personal choice, and one I would never dishonor or rush. But after allowing myself the proper time to grieve, I started looking to the lessons and principles he shared with me. One of those principles was the power of choice over many of our emotions. Those lessons helped me step back into my own happiness, while honoring him and his memory. And when I found that happiness again, it became my mission to teach others that they can be happy as wellFor some people, a brief burst of happiness can be found in pictures of puppies or videos of laughing babies. For others, a peaceful setting on a lakeside dock or a memory of Mom’s apple pie can bring them a fleeting sense of joy. And that leads us to our next key.2. Your Happiness is YOUR HappinessAs I mentioned previous, my dad decided to end his life, and acted on that decision. There were many factors that led to his decision, and I came to terms with that decision and action years ago.In the weeks and months following his death though, many well-wishers offered comfort and condolences, but it can be hard to accept those words as you’re trying to navigate the maze of post-death work. Planning the funeral, writing his eulogy, the legal stuff, probating his will, etc.…it all took its toll as I was trying to do all of it while figuring out how to mourn the death of my hero, my best friendVOL 1-Dec-22 101

Page 102

VOL 1-Dec-22 102Understanding My Own Happiness.I discovered that it really is an individual job.All of that led me down the path of understanding my own happiness, and that is when I discovered that it really is an individual job. A lot of my happiness came from memories of my dad. Playing catch in the backyard until it was too dark to see the ball. His beaming pride when I graduated High School. He attended every concert and performance while I was in school. After I left to go to college, we talked every single Sunday until his passing. Even after I enlisted in the Army, our Sunday chats still happened…sometimes for 4 hours or more, no matter where I was in the world.So, when he was gone, there were no more Sunday talks. No more advice. No more ability to share my accomplishments with him.You’ll also notice that not once have I said my dad “made” me happy while he was alive. Yes, he was a large source of my happiness, but that’s because I chose to focus on those pieces of him and his memory that contributed to my overall happiness.

Page 103

By the time of his passing, I had two young daughters who have filled me with an intense sense of pride. They’re both grown now. I even have a couple of awesome little Granddudes. They are also major contributors to my happiness.All of it, my wife, my kids, my memories, they all fuel my happiness. And that’s the key; MY happiness. My memories of Dad don’t make you happy. My Daughters and my Granddudes don’t make you happy. My marriage doesn’t make you happy.Yet, the things that contribute to your happiness belong to you. Your family and friends. Your work. Your mission. Your spirit. Those can all be part of what gives you that feeling of happiness.Whether you choose to even be happy or not? Well, that belongs to you too. No one gets to tell you what leads to your happiness. And no one gets to tell you to even be happy. Therefore, happiness very personal and individual to you. You get to decide what factors into your happiness.VOL 1-Dec-22 103

A few months ago, my wife and I decided to take an impromptu trip to Florida to check something off my bucket list. We flew on one of the worst-rated airlines in the United States. Oddly enough, we had an amazing experience on the flight to Florida and our return trip back home..But why? I think part of it rests in the fact that when we got to the airport at 4:30 AM, we had smiles on our faces. When we got to the ticket counter to check our luggage, we found that our bag was 4 pounds over the weight limit. Did the ticket agent charge us the USD $75 overweight bag fee. No, she didn’t. Did we leave her with a smile as we headed to our assigned gate. We sure didWhen we boarded the plane at that ungodly hour, we shared our smiles and our happiness with the flight crew. Again, why?Well, mostly because we were on vacation. We also shared them because before the crack of dawn, let’s face it, most families aren’t in the best of moods – even VOL 1-Dec-22 1043. Your Happiness is Worth Sharing

Page 105

when they’re flying to the home “The Happiest Place on Earth.” So, if we could share our happiness with the crew, maybe we would be those “weird” people who actually enjoy our time away from the grind back home.Like I said, it was a great flight…yet that one particular airline often rests near the top of all lists when it comes to customer complaints. Interesting. We had the same flight, we had the same crew, and the same journey as the other 200+ passengers on board. Could our sharing of our happiness with the crew have had something to do with it? That’s for you to decide.The most interesting part of the trip to Florida came when we went to check in at our hotel. We made our reservations through one of those internet booking websites, so this was really a timeshare resort masking itself as a hotel. Instead of the desk clerk giving us our room key, she had us go to another desk, where they, instead of just handing your keys to you, ask if you’d like to attend a “90-minute presentation,” as they entice you with a bunch of “freebies.”As the agent was pitching all the cool benefits, we would get by attending the presentation, and seeing our reluctance, she stopped mid-sentence and excitedly asked, “Are you guys always so happy?” The question struck us as odd. So, I said, “Ummm, we’re on vacation. Aren’t we supposed to be happy on vacation?”Her response floored me. “You’d be surprised how grumpy people are when they come here to check in,” she said. Her co-workers behind the counter all nodded in unison and in agreement. I asked her why and she started regaling us with stories of people coming into the lobby, kids in tow, being dragged across the floor, already tired of the trip to the resort. She told us of people who were running 3 minutes behind schedule on their itinerary, so they decided to take out their frustration on the hotel staff – the staff who had nothing to do with them being late.It continues to amaze me just how unhappy many in our society continue to be. We had a great trip to “The Sunshine State” and we’ll definitely go back. Again, did our willingness to share our smiles and happiness have anything to do with our experience? It probably did.VOL 1-Dec-22 105

Page 106

VOL 1-Dec-22 106I believe that in our happy moments, we have an obligation to shareBefore you think I’m one of those weirdos who walks around life with a stupid smile on my face all day, let me assure you, I’m not. Our trip to Florida wasn’t all rainbows, lollipops, and unicorns. Of course, there were frustrations. Like when we didn’t have the proper toll for the stretch of road we travelled from the airport. Or when we realized, we were getting overcharged at the rental car counter. It was far from perfect. But we chose to not let those little frustrations ruin a dream trip.I believe that in our happy moments, we have an obligation to share a bit more of our happier selves with others. We can then hope that in our down times, others will share their happiness with us. Kind of a “Circle of Happiness” thing.Really, at the end of the day, the foundation of happiness rests within us all. We all have things that contribute to our happiness, and we also have things that bring sadness to our door. By building on that foundation of happiness, it allows us to come out of those sad times a little quicker, and with a little more grace.I do want to remind you that just because happiness is a choice and an individual job, we don’t have the right to force our happiness on others. Walking around a hospital, skipping down the hallways, being all chipper and saying things like “Chin up, Buttercup” isn’t probably going to win you any popularity contests. But sharing a simple smile can go a long way.In my teen years (not always life’s happiest times), Dad and I visited a bank. I thought he was flirting with the teller at the drive-thru window. He was simply being kind because he saw that she wasn’t her normal, bubbly self. He didn’t say anything inappropriate at all. But my teenage brain couldn’t comprehend the line between flirting and being kind. So, when I confronted him about his flirting as we left the parking lot, he gave me a sideways glance while driving, and said something utterly profound to me. I try to emulate this motto all these years later.

Page 107

VOL 1-Dec-22 107He said, “I don’t know that teller’s life situation. I don’t know if when she gets home, she will be greeted by a screaming family. I don’t know if everything is going swimmingly at home for her. But none of that really matters when it comes to my interactions with others. What it comes to is this, if I can be the reason at least one person smiles today, then my day is complete.”A simple motto worth sharing…and living.Bear Bangs is a Foundational Coach who helps others to “Reclaim Their AWESOME,” guiding them to step back into the version of themselves that was once AWESOME yet might have slipped away over the years.
