Yesterday, I shared with you how I fell into a recessionary funk.  Today, I am going to tell you how I rebounded and share with you the philosophy and tools that have helped me become re-engaged and committed. 

Although I have spent most of my adult life building self-esteem and becoming more conscious, there was still more that I needed to work on. I knew instinctively that I needed to integrate into my belief system and soul that “my well being was not tied to the economic fluctuations of the world”.  Without realizing it, the recessionary thinking had led me to living from the “outside in”. Other people’s opinions were becoming more important than my own.  I needed to learn at a deeper level that no one can keep my good from me but “me”.  Wow, what a concept!  I began to accept that I had become un-centered and lost my ability to live with direction from the “inside out”.  Going deep (journaling and meditating) helped me see that I had to raise my conscious and change my beliefs around money.

I spent many hours reading books on prosperity, and journaling about what I was reading. One book in particular, is Spiritual Economics by Eric Butterworth.  If you’re serious about changing your thinking around money and your well being, then it’s a book you want to read.  In addition, I realized I needed support.  So, I thought about who would be able to listen, hear and coach me.  Then, I reached out to three different coach friends who listened and helped me look at how I was limiting and blinding myself to the “truths” of who I am and what I have accomplished and still am capable of creating.

This hard painful work has helped me turn around my life.  It is helping me re-create my marketing brand, given me clarity about who I really am as a coach, where and how I have succeeded before and most important how I can unconditionally be of service to people.  What a gift!!   All this is happening, because I decided to attack my discomfort and “roto rooter” misperceptions and beliefs, discover new knowledge from books and ask people to help me, “see what I couldn’t see”.
