If you have any trouble reading the pictures in this blog,

here's the link to The Downloads for December.  (Streaming means that you have unlimited access to the downloads in that package as long as you have internet access. It's kind-of like Cable on Demand or NetFlix. You sign in to your account and they're all right there until they're changed over the next month. Click here to read a better, clearer description.) 

Here's the Description for December: All of the monthly themes teach you self hypnosis and keep your mind in the direction that you want it to be going. It's about whole life wellness. This month it's about the Holidays and everything that comes and goes with them. Have a wonderful December!

Be sure to read all of this type :) The download descriptions are on the images and not typed up within this blog entry. 

Everyone asks, "Do they work?" Well, that's what the 24 free trial is for. Check it out for yourself. Everyone always has an opinion and advice (about everything), but there's nothing like the experience of discovering and figuring something out for yourself, no matter how big or small. You know you. You're the one who knows what you want and what you need and you are the one who knows what you like. It's great to get input from other people (especially those you trust/are in your inner circle) but remember, that's 

what it is. Always ask your Higher Self what is to your Highest Good. You'll get the guidance and answers you need. 

And, remember you can ask about anything. Really, anything. Speaking of asking your Higher Self for help, that's your homework over the next few weeks. Even if you're loving life right now, get into the habit of asking your Higher Self what is to your Highest Good. There's a lot of manifesting and goal setting coming up over the next few months and best way to prepare is to get in the habit of checking in with yourself! 

Now, onto the 

Holiday Help! & Exercises

Healthy Body Stuff: What's the best thing you can do for yourself during any stressful time? Eat healthy, drink plenty of water and get a good night's sleep. Take care of your body and your body will take care of you. If you know that you're taking care of your body then the anxiety and other ways that stress may surface is much easier to pinpoint the whys. If you're ever feeling icky, remember all you need to do is ask yourself what the message is. If that's confusing, at all, click the link to get the complimentary explanation of the What's The Message? class series. The short audio explains messages. Download the Example .jpeg, it gives a great definition! 

You Time: You want to carve out some alone time or your own personal time-out time and space (you want to have a place that you can get away~even if only for a few moments).  It's awfully easy to get overwhelmed when you have a huge list of to-dos, there's a ton of things going on and a thousand people all needing something from you~all at the same time. 

Stress Less: Find (and figure out) those people and things that always seem to cause you stress, anxiety or push you over the edge (or push your buttons!) and slowly start weeding them out. Maybe it's five minutes here and ten minutes there. However you do it, slow or fast is up to you and your comfort level. When you eliminate the things that 'naturally' cause you stress, you'll be amazed to find how much more manageable life is all of the time. 

Know Yourself: Yes, No & Maybe~Saying what you mean! And only committing to what you really want to do will make a tremendous difference in your life. This isn't something that you're expected to change overnight. This is something that you aspire to perfect. The more you say yes, no or maybe (whatever your challenge is: overcommitting, never committing, indecision) in accordance to what you really want, like and feel is right for you, the easier it will become and the clearer it will be to you of how you want to spend your time. Let this part be super fun! You're stretching, growing and learning about yourself. Woo-Hoo! 

Set your Intention for the Day: This doesn't have to be

some long drawn out thing, just simply decide what you want your day to be like and spend 30 seconds picturing it. Work up to 3 minutes. You'll be amazed to find how that 3 minutes in the morning changes your whole day! You can do this as many times as you like or need to throughout the day. Remember, you're reminding your subconscious mind that this [what you are picturing] is what you want now. You're Lighting your own Way & Creating your Day! 

Staying in Control: Yay! For all of the holiday parties and seeing everyone you haven't seen all year! Staying in control does not mean don't have fun, it means, before you go out, decide [in your mind] that you're going to stay present. Really, that's it. You decide and have your mind set on it, that you're not going to ______. Convince yourself and it will work. Be sure to use this before drinking, or in any situations that you 'worry' about yourself. This goes for food, too. Oh, and over-emotional conversations. It's anything that's over the top or too much. Think Balance. Think Healthy. And, Think, 

"I Stay in Control of Myself." 

Woo-Hoo! You made it all the way through this post! And, if you can make it through this post, you can certainly make it through the holidays! ;)

Have a Lovely December!

Start your Day Right

How incredibly blessed we are that every day is a new day. 

You choose what each day means to you, what you're going to do with it and how you're going to handle it. Starting your day out right is about setting your intention. You decide how you feel everyday and what you are going to accomplish. If you do not make the conscious and physical effort to tell yourself what you want, then you are letting your subconscious mind decide and do what it has been programmed and trained to do. 

The fist few moments in the morning are so precious. You're in an altered state. Your subconscious mind is open to suggestion. And, if you are aware, you'll hear those subconscious thoughts as you start to wake up or as the sleepy fog begins to lift. 

If you have the wherewithal, say nice things to yourself in this state. 

Before you start your day, try to carve out (just) 10 or 15 minutes to write out what you'd like for the day.

Getting your head right before you start your day, sets your entire day up to be the way you want it. This is your day. You create it. You change it. You live it and you control your reactions to it.

Getting your mind where you want it to be every day will change your whole world. Yes, you need to do it everyday. Yes, it gets easier. And, yes, you can find the time. If it's important to you, you'll find away. There are more ways to get things done than there excuses to why we can't. 

Taking control of your day is one of the kindest, most empowering things you can do for yourself and it only takes a few minutes each day.

We all don't have time first thing in the morning to relax and think or even have time for ourselves. If you're rushed  in the morning or if your home is full of life early, do the exercises before bed or the day before (whenever you have a few minutes alone). You can reread what you've written before you start your day.

Set your intention for today.

You may find that you like to write a paragraph, a list of goals or create your own affirmation. You may find that each day is different or that you snuggle into a habit that fits you perfectly and is exactly the same everyday. Whatever you do, it's great. You're doing it and that's the point. You're telling yourself that you are serious and this is what you want for the day. It sets it up in your mind as a high priority, even if you never think about it until tomorrow morning when you're writing out your intention.

When you make this a regular part of your life, you'll find that you get more done, accomplish your goals easier and are calmer and more relaxed inside. You naturally become more in-tune with yourself because you are paying attention to yourself, you are attending to your needs and you are being very clear about what you're expecting from yourself.

When you're first starting, you want to try this different ways; you want to find what works best for you. If this seems overwhelming, use just one or two sentences and follow these simple rules:

• be clear and concise
• be specific (with what you want to accomplish)
• use the present tense
• be realistic

~ I live a spiritual life.

~ I make healthy choices for myself and my family today.

~ Today I act on the messages I receive.

~ I handle everything at work today with patience and grace.

~ I get everything done on my to do list easily

~ I choose to be fully engaged in all of my tasks today.

~ I focus on appreciating ___________ today.

As you continue this exercise (every day) you'll be surprised how much more you are enjoying your life, staying present and improving your relationships.

As simple as this may seem, the impact is huge. You'll reap the rewards of doing this regularly. You'll begin to look forward to it and trust that it works and be able to observe the impact it has had on your life.
