Ah yes, relaxation, second of our all-important ‘R’s. Relaxation is not just for sissies, it’s not just for wasters, it’s essential for body.

The body cannot keep going non-stop forever. It will conk out eventually, a bit like my car.

You need to get enough sleep, and you need to have time for your self, to do nothing, and just ‘be’.

This can be as little as a five minute meditation using relaxation techniques.

In our ever-more hectic lives, recreation and relaxation seem like bonuses, luxuries we can have ‘later’.

Wrong! They are not luxuries, they are essential for your productivity and well being, and just as you schedule your tasks to get them done efficiently, you also must, I repeat *must* schedule recreation and relaxation.

Once she made connection and saw power of these pervasive beliefs it was as if a light bulb went off. She immediately asked me how she could “get rid” of offending thoughts so her business would grow. I took a deep breath and told her, in my experience, it wasn’t possible to “get rid” of thoughts.

I continued on and suggested that best she could hope for was to embrace her thoughts; all of her thoughts. The first step was for her to expose old, incorrect assumptions, bring them into light of day and then replace them with what is true.

She got very excited at prospect. She then revealed to me that in fact she was barely even promoting herself in any tangible way to build her business. It became clear to both of us how her underlying belief that she was lazy was fulfilling itself. She was leaning on “spiritual marketing” and some magical thinking to compensate for her lack of ability to actually get out there, talk to people and take meaningful action.

Once she saw that she could embrace her limiting thoughts (that were bound to keep coming up), continue her practices and take action her whole outlook brightened. We set a plan into motion for her to actively engage as a successful businesswoman and build her business into a thriving success.

She’s well on her way.

It’s YOUR life…imagine possibilities!
