They are alsorepparttar 115395 most costly lentils around - about $5 to $6 a pound (Cdn) versus about $1 a pound for common green or brown lentils. Lentils can also be yellow, pink, white, black and orange, but to find these varieties you might have to visit an East Indian-style market or well-stocked health food store. Before cooking, rinserepparttar 115396 lentils well in a few changes of cold water. Pick out and discard stones, other debris and damaged lentils.

Five Pathways to Listening to Your Inner Voice

Written by Claudette Rowley


Continued from page 1

4. Notice your self-saboteur.

Each of us has our very own special saboteur. The saboteur isrepparttar voice in your head that says, "You are not good enough." "Who do you think you are?" "If you take this new job, everyone will find out what a fraud you are." The saboteur's job is to "protect" you from taking risks and making changes.

Benefits: Learn to distinguish between your voice andrepparttar 115394 saboteur's mumbo-jumbo. Notice howrepparttar 115395 inner critic drives repparttar 115396 choices and decisions you make.

New Focus: Simply noticerepparttar 115397 negative voices playing in your head. Noticerepparttar 115398 times when they crop up. Recognize thatrepparttar 115399 voices aren't you and they aren't true. Learning to separate your own voice from that ofrepparttar 115400 saboteur is a powerful and life changing tool.

5. Identify limiting beliefs.

We each carry a set of beliefs that we live by. Certain beliefs you hold consciously, while others are mainly unconscious. Beliefs develop out of past experiences and our interpretations of those experiences. Some ofrepparttar 115401 conscious and unconscious beliefs that you develop limit your ability to grow and move forward in your life. For example: One of your goals as a successful entrepreneur is to make a lot of money. You discover that you have a belief - a limiting one - that it's wrong to make a lot of money. Until you begin to alter your beliefs about money, it will be more difficult for you to achieve that financial success you desire.

Benefits: Learning to notice a limiting belief allows you to become conscious of it, and then change it. Releasing a belief that limits you puts you back inrepparttar 115402 driver's seat of your life. You, rather than an old belief, makerepparttar 115403 choices that are right for you and allow you to fulfill your potential

Ways to spot a limiting belief: * You tell yourself that you only have one or two choices in a situation, or "no choice" at all.

* Your inner critic expresses his or her opinion. The inner critic's opinion is generally based in a limiting belief.

* A decision may appear to be black and white to you, or an either/or situation.

* You have decided that "this isrepparttar 115404 wayrepparttar 115405 world is."

* You make a decision based on fear.

* You feel constricted and notice that you lack clarity about a specific situation.

New Focus: How does a particular belief allow you to attract what you really want in life? How does it prevent you from attaining your goals? When you reach an obstacle in your path, make sure that it's not an old belief in your way.

When important questions like "What do I want?" or "What'srepparttar 115406 right choice for me to make?" surface in your mind, consult your inner voice. You possessrepparttar 115407 answers you need to live a life that feels successful and fulfilling. Listening to your inner voice can lead you on a path that feels deeply satisfying. Your business and personal lives will flourish with this new level of trust in yourself.
