and why would you need one?

well according to the dictionary – it’s a variety of things

a magical spell

an amulet (which can be construed as a magical spell) certainly something to ‘ward off evil or bad)

or it could be energy, oomph, that certain je ne sais quoit

I happen to think its the latter

it’s passion – for whatever you’re doing

for life

and it’s very easy to find your mojo on a day like today when the sun is shining and I’m sitting in a cafe overlooking the river.

ye nice work if you can get it eh?

from my vantage point there are streams of people walking past, young, old, business people and tourists, mums pushing buggies, couples, singles – all of life – walking past and enjoying the glorious weather

The dark grey days of our over long winter seemingly a dim distant memory!

and in the sunshine – the feel good factor is all too present

the sun makes us feel gooooooooooooooood

the sun is goooooooooooooood for us – all that vitamin D which we lack and miss so much.

I certainly do – I suffer from SAD – and when days are grey and miserable and dark its not easy to find your mojo

So in a way that’s what your mojo is – your sense of fun, freedom, excitement

we feel it when we go on holiday – explore new places, meet new people, travel to distant lands…………..

but if we can’t be on holiday all the time – and if, unfortunately, the sun doesn’t shine

a whole lot in this Northern Hempishere country of ours, what can we do?

We have to build the mojo from the inside

Gratitude helps – being grateful for what you have leaves room to bring in more

whether it’s being thankful for the work you do, the job you have (think of all those people without work) for your health, the family and friends who love you,the life you have, the money you have

when we’re grateful for what we have our vibration sets off a corresponding vibration in the universe and so we attract more

whe we’re grateful for what we have we seem to ‘show it’  it’s like having an inner light shining through.  so people notice and they gravitate towards you, and so do great circumstances

some people call it ‘luck’ but it isn’t really

it’s just that like attracts like

good stuff out good stuff in

feel the sunshine inside

positive happy meaningful attracts more of the same

misery moaning groaning will also attract the same

I read a great poem yesterday which starts “if you think you can you will, if you think you can’t you won’t”….

I’m now involved wiith a project that helps people around the world find their mojo

we give them life, hope, fun and fulfilment – and money too

if you like the idea of that; if you like the idea of warmth and sunshine, if you like the idea of not letting your life go past without making a contribution, if you’re tired of the same old same old, tired of the doom and gloom and reality tv

there is so much more to life

find your Mojo

(and if you haven’t lost it – let’s improve it!)

enjoy the sunshine – who knows how long it will last

you might surprise yourself

 According to the dictionary (or Wiki) confidence means – con – with – fid – faith

 It’s the state of feeling certain about the truth of something

Having an unshakeable belief in

Having trust in

 I was talking with someone the other day whose business is words – he’s an English Teacher

He teaches English to foreign students

These students’ needs are very diverse

From a foreign business man who has a very high powered position but needed to take meetings every day in the UK to a graduate who needs a CV updated or some help with what to say at the interview.

 And we were talking about how when you’re an expert in your subject and speaking in your mother tongue the thinking about what you’re saying takes on a totally different aspect to when you’re attempting to convey ideas in  a different language.

 If like me you have schoolgirl (or boy) French for instance and you’re in France, just asking in a restaurant or store for something becomes a little uncomfortable if we’re not sure of what we’re saying.  And of course this hesitancy comes across and we feel even worse.  Judged, inferior perhaps – definitely not comfortable

 So imagine how much worse it would be if you were speaking to a group of your peers and English was not your first language.

 Doesn’t matter how well you know your subject, that hesitancy is bound to come across and you end up feeling insecure.  A feeling, if you’re usually a confident business person, will be totally alien to you.

 And it’s not just in this case, is it?

 Anytime we come out of our comfort zone (let’s face it, it’s called the ‘comfort zone’ for a reason!) we become uncomfortable and less sure of ourselves.

 And that’s the bottom line really isn’t it?

 If we have an inner core of belief about our abilities, our knowledge, we would feel secure and totally able to proceed all the time

 We’d have the confidence

And that’s where it comes from – within

It has to start inside us

With the belief – that core of inner truth that says we know our stuff; we are comfortable in what we’re doing, what we’re saying, who we are being.

 And if you don’t have that core of inner strength – you will continue to falter  – never quite getting your desired outcomes, getting the level of business, the relationship, the customers, the weight loss and good health that you desire

No matter how hard you try if you don’t have that inner belief you will never get where you want to go ; you’ll always have to put up with second best

 I’ve been doing this for a long time

Showing people how they can build that inner core of belief, that inner strength that means you’re a winner

 And it’s all very well to ‘google’ stuff on the net, I do it all the time but there are times when you just need that little extra ; that ‘oomph’; what else shall we call it ? the ‘je ne sais quoi’

When someone who has been there, done it, can just help

 Doing it on your own is all very well but why struggle when you can do it easily

When you’ll have practical tools which will help you for the rest of your life

Easy things to do that will become part of your routine, like cleaning your teeth.

Simple, easy, and very effective

 Whatever you want out of your lifeWhatever it is you want to achieve

If you don’t have that inner confidence, that inner core of belief in yourself and your abilities you will stumble and fall and probably give up the dream

However once you have that inner core of trust in who you are you can become unstoppable

And you’ll have someone guiding you and helping you along the way

 We’re already one quarter of the way through the year…

Don’t let another nine months go without doing what you need to do to move your life forward

 “Life in itself is an empty canvas; it becomes whatsoever you paint on it

You can paint misery, you can paint bliss.  This freedom is your Glory”

Isn’t that awesome?

In a couple of sentences it explains everything

The Law of Attraction – what you put out there is what you get

The Bible – as you sew so shall you reap

And it is – that’s the way life is

WE are 100% responsible for what goes on in our lives

What we put out there is what is returned to us

It gives us choices, it gives us hope,

We have the control

Nobody else – US

Yes

And that’s the way it should be

That’s the way it is

When you believe that, then everything in your life starts to make complete and utter sense, doesn’t it?

So have to focus on what we want, not what we don’t want

We have to wake every morning being grateful for being alive, being grateful for the roof over our head, being grateful for the bed we slept in.

Every morning when you wake say “thank you for a wonderful night’s sleep”  (and if you didn’t say it anyway!)  Every night before you go to sleep, say “thank you for a wonderful day” (and if you didn’t say it anyway!) and also say “I am safe, I am at peace, I sleep well  and wake refreshed”

And if you do say that every single day and every single night – guess what?  It will start to manifest in your life.  And if you are sleeping badly, you will start to sleep well and because you’ll awake rested and refreshed your days will be better too.

Easy isn’t it?

And fun too

Once you start to see the Universe at work, the way we can control our lives you will be amazed and thrilled at what starts showing up in your life

It’s a physical fact you can’t frown and smile at the same time, just like you can’t worry and be positive at the same.

It’s all a matter of being in control

You are in control not your mind

It’s your Life and you have the power to choose whatever it is you want

So just think – if you make the choice to be positive, happy instead of negative and sad – the rewards will be absolutely phenomenal.  

Everything in your life Will improve

It has to

It’s the Law

What if the only think you had to do was be Positive and happy?

Nothing else

That’s all you had to do each and every day

If that was your sole purpose in life

And everything else was in the hands of the Universe

Think how easy life would be

You’d wake up each morning knowing that everything was going to be great

Whatever was going on, meetings, bills to pay, traffic and train schedules to contend  with, bosses and colleagues to deal with, potential clients to convert into paying clients and adoring fans – wouldn’t it put it all into perspective? 

Of course it would and not only that, once you stop worrying about the daily stuff it would all work out for the best

That’s the Universe for you – working hard on your behalf

Each and every day

The Universe (god) loves you and wants only the best for you

A bit like your mum but with greater powers

So all you have to do is wake each morning  with the positive grateful feelings inside you and pretty soon you will start to radiate this ‘aura’;  not only will you feel better but others will notice.  You will have a spring in your step, you will have more energy, more confidence, and when others notice your life will improve.  Your relationships will improve, your health will improve. 

And it’s so Simple

All you have to do every morning is say “Thank you for a wonderful night’s sleep.  Thank you for this coming day, thank you for the endless possibilities that are coming to me.  Thank you thank you thank you”

And every night before you go to sleep say “thank you for the wonderful day I’ve had;   I am safe, I sleep peacefully and wake refreshed and rested.  Thank you  thank you thank you.”

Try it for a week ; then 2, then 3, then a month –

And watch how your life will change

Watch how your health, your energy, your relationships, your work will all improve

Watch your excitement building as you see the evidence of your belief in the Universe

Put it out there and watch your abundance grow

Just enjoy ‘be-ing’

A very wise woman once said – we are human be-ings not human do-ings! 

Enjoy life – by changing your mind set you will be able to deal with whatever comes up

It becomes easier

Watch the miracles start to occur in your life, little miracles, big miracles, miraculous huge miracles

Smile and the world smiles with you

Cry and you cry alone

Why worry and struggle – life wasn’t meant to be like that –

It’s us that makes things complicated

Let the Universe do its work

You just take care of your mind –

They say that once we do something over and over again it only takes 21 days for it to be a habit

What a lovely joyous wonderful habit to get into

Smiling, laughing, caring, having fun – going with the flow – knowing that everything will be taken care of in the best way possible

Try it for 21 days – let the joy of it become your habit –

I wish you everything

Let me know how it’s going

Tired of not fitting into the clothes?

Tired of hating what you see in the mirror?

Tired of not feeling Fabulous?

Can’t get a handle on how you look, how you feel,?

It never changes

No matter what diet, no matter what exercise regime

It never changes

 90% of women will spend their life on diets

That’s just the way it is

They’ll go to the gym, do exercises, try anything once, twice, whatever

 But for the rest of you if really want to finally, finally, finally get out of that

                                    Dieting spiral,

If you really want to Become the Fabulous Gorgeous Wonderful Woman

            If not Now, When?

It was a most amazing day today

After weeks and weeks of bitterly cold, snow, wrapping up, hating to be outside, dark, grey, blah blech!!

Today has been a glorious day

And boy does it raise the vibration

I was out and about – walking around

Sat for a while in a square and there were mothers with toddlers, kids sitting on the grass, business men in suits walking, sitting, chatting, ; walked down one road with loads of cafes and people sitting outside at tables drinking wine, eating late lunch – it was fantastic

And it got me to thinking about our vibrations

Because everything is vibration – and matches like for like

So if you’re feeling down and negative and grey – that’s the vibration you’re putting out and that’s what you’ll get back

When you put up a higher vibration – you feel full of energy – and you get back that vibration too

It’s literally what you sow so you reap…..

But multifold –

You give out a smile and get back many more

Give a helping hand to someone and get back much much more

If you give of your best every single day you’ll get back so much

Because we all know that what we focus on increases

Focus on lack – that’s what you get back (it’s the vibrational match for you)

Focus on negativity – worry fear – all you’re doing is ‘living in the future’ and when you bring into your life the worst case scenario – you say “see I told you” and then you proceed to bring even more ‘badness’ into your life

Same with health/sickness – believe that you’ll get ill/sick/unwell  and that’s what you’ll attract – just more of the same

But if you start to believe in the now –

Focus on positivity – what you Want in your life – not what you don’t want – and you will start to see it materialise

We use so much energy focusing on the bad/negative/ – its such a waste –

If you focus on what you really want – the Universe will bring it into your life

Stop using the energy to focus on bad – let go of the negativity

Let go of the limiting beliefs

This isn’t to do with religion – it’s having the faith, the trust that the Universe will provide

Enjoy the good, the abundance all around you – believe in better, – Know that your future IS bright and bountiful, that only good will come and IT WILL

And sometimes you need a little help with the process – the letting go – the learning to focus on the good. The plentiful – then reach out – I’m here and this is what I do

I can help you stay focused on the good stuff

I can help you get rid of the bad stuff

I can show you how to bring the sunshine into your life every single day – even if it’s not in the sky!

I can teach you how to go with the flow so that your life is easy – not a struggle

It’s almost Spring – it’s almost there –

Give up the fight – and learn to live in the NOW

The rewards are there for you

Every single day

The love, the joy, the abundance

Whatever it is you want in your life

You’re causing your own stresses

Stop it

Learn to go with the flow

Live in the Now

Focus on what you Want rather than what you don’t Want

Focus on less stress, less struggle –

Focus on more energy, more life, more fun, more love, more abundance,

Let the Universe take care of you

What you Want already exists – it’s there for the taking

You just need to know how to

Do less and achieve more

Become more confident,

And let me show you

How to

Go from where you are to where you really want to be

Let’s talk about – Pro cras tin ation

The dictionary definition, as if you didn’t already know,  is the putting off, delaying of deferring of an action until a later time.

Sounds quite harmless doesn’t it ?

But the trouble with procrastination as we all know is that it really is a killer.

The Law of Attraction states that what we put out we get back.  So if we put nothing out, guess what we get back?  Absolutely nothing!

If this sounds familiar it’s important to remember that any action is better than no action at all.

The thing with procrastination is that it kills hopes, dreams, goals.

That then can lead to fear and doubt so that you end up with nothing.

It’s a bleak picture…..but it doesn’t have to be like that.

Imagine for a moment.  You wake at 3 in the morning (it’s always 3 – no idea why!) and you think over a particular situation.  Let’s say there’s a possibility of promotion at work but you need to put in some sort of documentation to prove on paper just how good you are?

You start thinking about what you’ll write and then the excitement turns to doubt.  Should you put this, that or the other?  For some reason you start getting fearful and worrying about how many others will be applying.  Then of course you tell yourself that everyone else is bound to be more qualified than you.  So you go over this for a couple of hours , totally working yourself into an awful state, watching the clock and getting more and more frustrated.  Finally you into a really deep sleep  about 5 minutes before the alarm goes off.  Sound familiar?

The next day you will probably convince yourself it’s not worth the effort to even apply.    Later you then find out that the person who got the job was…….yes you guessed it…….the one you think has less ability than you.   So then you are cross – with yourself, your boss and life in general.

Of course what they do have is the confidence to just go for it.  Worst case scenario?  They don’t get the job.  Best case scenario?  They get it.   You didn’t even enter, so you know where that leaves you!  You’ve got to be in it to win it!

This is an extreme case I know.  Let’s look at a more everyday situation.  Let’s say you have some tasks on your desk at the office and you’d really rather not do them.  So, guess what, you procrastinate.  You find ‘busy work’ to do – lots of ‘useful’ things like making sure the copier has enough paper, that the coffee cups are all washed up, that your desk drawer is tidy.  By the time you think right I’ll tackle that, surprise, surprise it’s time to go home.

Unfortunately, the job is still there in the morning and you will have to do it eventually!

The thing is….if you hadn’t ‘feared’ the actual job and just ‘got on with it’ in the first place it might not have been as awful as you’d thought.  You’ve built it up in your mind to be much worse than it is.

We procrastinate for all sorts of reasons – we don’t want to be criticised, we feel we won’t do a good job, we are out of our comfort zone.  Whatever the reason, so much of it comes down to self-belief.  The belief that not only can we do this but do it without looking foolish or silly.  We want to do it well.

If you’re saying one thing and doing another (or not doing anything) no wonder nothing is happening in your life.  No wonder you’re ‘stuck’.

Do you say I need more money…. but you somehow never apply for the promotion or the new job?

Do you say, I want to lose weight…..but never go to the gym and/or continue to eat unhealthily?

Do you say, I want a better relationship…..but never make the effort to talk to your partner?

Its no wonder you end up frustrated and unhappy.

The only person you’re hurting is yourself of course.

You are getting in your own way, because let’s face it, it is only you that’s stopping you moving ahead.

I know it’s not easy.  I’ve been there too many times.  I’ve worn more t-shirts than I care to count!

And that’s why I can help you

Because I’ve been there and worked through it

I will show you what not to do…….as well as what to do!!

You will get rid of those limiting beliefs that are keeping you hostage

Just like you can’t tickle yourself or massage yourself – you need someone else to do it for you

I’m not a coach – to me that’s a vehicle that carries lots of people around from place to place

I’m not a trainer – that’s a type of shoe that athletes or sports people wear

I’m a Fabulous You Satnav – Your ‘Awareness Zone’ Queen

I’ll guide you and mentor you

I’ll keep you accountable and for an hour once a week (or a fortnight) I’ll listen and help you get from where you are to where you want to be.

With a system that is interactive and evolves as you grow in strength, I will enable you to find your own solutions, discover new opportunities, and implement your actions.  I will be your facilitator.  I will listen, ask questions and enable you to discover what is right for you.

Right from your very first session, you’ll get practical tools which will help you for the rest of your life in all sorts of situations.

Do you want to keep on doing what you’re doing and get the same results or do you want to step up and say I need to change this?

Only you know.  Only you can do it.  Is it worth a few minutes of your time so that you can improve the rest of your life?

Easy to say you might think, especially if you’re stuck in this black hole where there seems no way out and no even a little glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

Ok – let’s go backwards – well if not backwards – let’s start at the beginning
And as the song says – a very good place to start …

Once upon a time in a land far away ……..

No that’s too far back – let’s crank it up nearer ………

Unfortunate Fact No 1 – as children we have great imaginations ; we can play for hours with a couple of boxes and pretend we’re pirates and soldiers and princesses in castles and our toys are our subjects and we can live in this make believe land and have all sorts of wonderful adventures.

Then unfortunately – something (or someone) comes along to spoil it – it’s usually a parent or a teacher who says ‘don’t be silly it’s only a game ; pay attention this is real life “ and they bring us back to ‘earth’ with a bang.

Now up to the age of 7 we are fed all sorts of information – this comes in from our parents, teachers, friends, siblings, our environment, – we are taught what to believe what to feel – and if we ever display a curiosity about ‘why’ such and such we usually told “it just is”

We also see what’s around us; who lives in a bigger house than us; who has better clothes; whos parents aren’t as nice as ours; who is cleverer than us in class;

All this shapes our futures –
If your parents were always talking about lack (little money), if your mother always cut out coupons or looked for the best ‘deals’; if you were aware that there wasn’t as much – then you will have grown up with the idea of lack and scarcity and it’s a belief you now hold, consciously or not.

So you grow up believing that to dream, aspire, is wrong, that you must be practical, realistic and of course you bring up your children in exactly the same way and they will bring up theirs in that way too – and so it goes on,

But that’s really not the truth – we live in an abundant, prosperous world and when we acknowledge that and believe it – all kinds of good stuff starts materialising in our worlds.

But in order to get to that place we need to Believe, have faith, and Trust
Instead of doubt, worry, fear, procrastination…..
I can show you how to develop that Belief,
You can learn how to have Faith
And You can find out how to Trust you inner wisdom

All of which will improve your Confidence, Allow you to be Unstoppable
I’m about to launch a Mastermind Group Programme which will empower you, allow you to become UnStuck, and get rid of that Fear once and For All
Contact me Now for more information
admin@theawarenesszone.co.uk

what is it and how do I get it?

Well first off – it’s a belief in yourself.  A belief that you can do, be, have whatever it is you desire.

It’s a belief in your abilities, a knowing, a certainty about your life.

Now there are some things we’re very confident about –

We know that if we cross the road without looking both ways we could possibly get run over; we know that if we touch a hot fire with a bare hand we will get burned –

There are things we do every day that we don’t even think about – we do them with ‘confidence’ – we’re on automatic pilot really – getting up in the morning, showering, cleaning your teeth, making a cup of tea or coffee – driving to work – waiting for the train – it’s all automatic –

But if someone asked us to ‘define’ what we do, asked us to explain ‘the how’ we do it – we’d probably just laugh at them .  Because they are automatic we don’t even consider the ‘how’ do we?

We just ‘do’ it

Remember when you first learned to drive?  – how complicated that seemed – the mirror signal manoeuvre –  remembering  to look in the mirror, having your feet just so – lifting the foot off the clutch and gently pressing on the accelerator and changing gear – yet now, how many years later you drive off the same way every single day and don’t give it a thought – it’s automatic – and sometimes maybe you get to your destination and you don’t really remember the journey – you’re just there.

That’s confidence – you don’t need to go through every single detail to know it’s right – it just ‘is’

It’s that innate belief that you’re doing it right

And that’s what confidence is – the belief in yourself ,

So it’s not so easy when it comes to other things –

Making a decision about investing in your business;   asking for a pay rise;  picking up the phone to call a prospective client ; going after the new business, the new job,

The truth is when you are confident you make the right choices.  For that moment

Because here’s the thing – the more you ‘worry’ about it; the more you’re likely to dither and then you might easily procrastinate which means you end up doing – nothing!

So it makes sense to say that if you’re not as confident as you’d like to be you will continue to struggle.   When you are confident in your abilities, life somehow runs smoothly you get what you set out to and you will therefore enjoy greater success.

So what’s the secret?  Simple really

In order to build confidence you need to start by loving yourself, believing in yourself.

Not just in your mind but in your heart- and if that’s not something you’re used to, you might find it difficult at first

That’s why it could be a good idea for you to get someone to help you

Someone like me who cares about your results.  Someone who isn’t ‘involved’ with you in the same way, that a spouse or friend might be.

Because that’s the thing with friends and family – they love you but unfortunately they do have their own agenda.  It’s not always comfortable for them to see you change – it changes the dynamic of your relationship and that is scary for them – so they probably don’t always give you the best ‘advice’ for you – if they’re out of their comfort zone with what’s going on with you.

So find yourself someone who can help in a constructive way without any added baggage – someone who is on your side but who is not frightened to push you when you need it, challenge you when you need it, and always believes in you even when you don’t.

I will help you find that inner core of strength – that belief in yourself so you will gain the confidence to make the choices in your life that you need to in order to move forward
