Vending at The International New Age Trade Show last weekend was an amazing experience and as my husband and I embarked upon the long flight home, I was reminded how important it is to NEVER give up on your dreams.

Being a vendor at that show was a big dream come through for me and I couldn't help but wonder where I would be at this very moment, had I not stuck it out for so long...

It hasn't been an easy road for me to follow. At the height of my business success back in 2005, I was on top of the world - literally with increasing sales and helping others throughout the WORLD...I really thought I was well on my way towards creating & sharing new hypnosis products and services that would someday change the way we process our information and beliefs..making life more enjoyable...more bearable.

And then the internet market took a nose dive! (directly right alongside my life situation changing). Financial security was no more, I moved back home to MA., and no longer had the resources to create my beautiful healing products!

Did it get me down? HELL NO - Because I had this burning desire to get back there! To get my hypnosis products back in the spotlight and help facilitate healing and personal freedom for my clients.

It's hard to believe that I have been on the uphill climb back for almost 10 years..but I did it. All because I knew that no matter what went wrong (or right), what road blocks had been put in my path or what doubts about myself surfaced - That I should always follow my bliss!

Here are some great tips to help keep you on track towards your personal bliss in life - because following your bliss, will always lead to fulfillment and true happiness!

THREE TIPS YOU CAN'T MISS - THAT HELP YOU TO ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR BLISS!

1. 1. BE IN THE MOMENT - No matter what it is that you are trying to accomplish. Whether it be your dream job or relationship, it is most important to be in the moment! To be in the moment means to savor every inch of the experience, be it good or bad. Being in the moment also helps bring focus and a strong sense of self. Whenever you feel yourself slipping away, a great tip that will help you step right in the moment is to take a couple of deep breaths and focus on your toes....seriously!! give it a try!
   
2. BE YOUR OWN CHEERLEADER - That's Right! I'm going to tell you something right here and now that I truly hope will stick with you. Some people will get jealous of you and without even realizing it, lend you enough doubt to stop you in your tracks...and some people will worry about your possible failures and play devils advocate, again stopping you in your tracks. This is all OK...it's simply human nature. You cannot truly expect others to support you until you yourself become your biggest ally... THE CHEERLEADER! My husband and I like to give ourselves "Self Hi-Fives". You do this by smacking one of your hands against the other and saying (in an oh, so playful way) "Self hi-Five!!!". Do this for yourself every-time you have an accomplishment!
3. BE SURE THAT IT IS YOUR OWN BLISS THAT YOU SEEK - Think about what compels you towards this goal? Is it so that others will like you?, or for money or fame? If your answer is yes, you might want to take a time out and really re-visit what it is that feeds your soul. You'll know that you are truly following your bliss if you experience a sense of completeness when working towards it... I cannot give you a tip to know how this works...All I can say is that you will know in your heart when it is true!

I have a pretty good idea on what this dream means for me, but I thought it would be fun to share it with you and get your thoughts on it. So...here goes!

Last night, I had a dream that I lived on the top floor of an apartment complex. I guess you could say it was the penthouse apartment (duh, since it was on the top floor!). The building was as tall as a double Ferris Wheel. I know this because in my dream, there was a fair going on outside my apartment and the Ferris Wheel was set up right next to my balcony.

People who were riding on the Ferris Wheel, kept getting off of it, when it would stop at my balcony and they would come in to see my apartment, hang out on the balcony, etc.

It seemed like this dream went on forever - My husband and I were actually giving these people tours of the apartment! Towards the end of the night, I complained to my husband that the event outside my door was getting annoying. He suggested that he would go to the fair manager and have him move the Ferris Wheel away from the building. The last thing I remember before waking up, is saying to him...there is no way to move a Ferris Wheel, once it has been set up!

Ok, my friends - what do YOU think the dream meant? Please enter your comments below - I look forward to hearing your interpretations!

Have YOU had the opportunity to experience the astounding life changing effects of Hypnosis?

I'm so sure that Hypnosis is the secret to your personal success... And I feel that it is SO important for you to experience it now... That I plan to GIVE AWAY more than 50 hypnosis products that can guarantee will change your life forever!

Why am I giving away more than 50 hypnosis products?

I'm doing this for a couple of reasons
FIRST - I really care about you and your personal growth and I know all too well how things like FEAR, FAILURE, REJECTION, HUMILIATION, LONELINESS, STRESS AND GUILT can hold you back from being the YOU that you dream of being.

I made myself this affirmation. In fact, I made several of them to hang around my home so that they are the first new thoughts to start my day. One is beside my bed. one is in the bathroom.  One is on the refrigerator and  one is hung above my coffee pot!

I think it's already working....because today I am ahead on my blog-post for the week!

Thanks for listening and be well!

I have spent many years vending at Holistic and New age Expo's. The people that vend at these events are both fun to be around and fun to watch. I love to people watch, and it is from people watching that I realized that success has a certain look. Those who project success always seem to be the ones who, at the end of the day, achieve success. They look the part: their displays are impeccable, they stand tall and confident, greeting everyone with a smile and a welcoming persona that seems to draw customers into their booth.

I have put together an exercise that will help you achieve that same successful outcome. First...ask yourself:

What does success look like to me? 
Take a moment to think about this question. Think about what it is that you'd like to become successful with and write it down on a piece of paper.
Write down what you would look like once you have achieved this success. 
Pay close attention to your body language: are you standing tall? leaning in to talk with others? What do your facial expressions look like?
Also make a mental note of the clothing you are wearing, your hairstyle and any other physical aspects of your successful self.

Walk, Talk and look the part of your successful self!
It can't be that easy can it? Yes it can! and you will be amazed by the changes that take place in your life.
Take a look at the notes that you just wrote down and compare them to yourself now. Are you able to notice the differences?
Now that you are aware of what this success looks like to you...make a conscious effort to step into that picture and VOILA! 

Simply put, walk, talk, look and act just as your successful self does in your minds eye and soon you'll notice that Success is yours for the taking!

When we constantly repeat statements about ourselves that are less than what we know to be true - we are setting the perfect environment for failure! I'm sure you've found yourself saying thing like:
I'll never be able to achieve that goal because... OR, I always seem to fall into the same type of relationship...AND EVEN, I'm just not good at any of this!

If you want to change your life...Change your MIND!
Success can be yours when you "think" successful thoughts. OK, here's another exercise for you to try:

1. Write down on a piece of paper, what it is exactly that you'd like to be successful at. If you find yourself writing what you don't want or what you'd like to change...you'll need to re-think this question and make changes that reflect an "I want" statement. For example: instead of writing "I'd like to stop being broke" you'll want to write something like "I'd like to attract more money into my life". Write as many as you'd like.

2. Now you can use this list as your personalized positive affirmation list! Write these positive affirmations everywhere! So that you will see them every day - It takes about 21 days to change a mindset, so be patient with yourself and stick with it!

Some good places to hang your affirmations:
1. The refrigerator
2. Your front or back door(both sides - so that you will See it coming and going!)
2. Around the outside of your computer monitor
3. The bathroom mirror
4. on the ceiling above your bed (so that it's the first thing you see in the morning!)
5. Be creative and think of your own special place to leave the affirmations!

If are more of a visual person, you can cut out pictures of your affirmations and hang them in plain sight as well!

If you believe, like I do, that there is something out there...greater than ourselves, working towards our highest good, then prayer beads are for you! Call it what you will, God, Goddess,  Ala, the universe, etc...for every belief, there is a form of prayer.

So here we are, looking successful and walking around with a new positive mindset. Now lets take it a step further ans summon that success directly from the universe! The bible even states "ask and ye shall receive"

Assuming that you are already comfortable with your own personal beliefs and have adapted prayer practices, I have included three of the most popular types of prayer beads and some uses for them to help draw success your way.

1. Rosary Beads- The Rosary (from Latin rosarium, meaning "rose garden" or "garland of roses" ) is a popular traditional Roman Catholic devotion. The term denotes both a set of prayer beads and the devotional prayer itself, which combines vocal (or silent) prayer and meditation. ... A special devotion to St. Joseph is said to help bring success to your business.

2. Mala Beads- Malas are made with 108, 27, 21 or 19 beads. They are used to count prayers or mantras. Buddhists use counters to keep track of how many times around a Mala they have counted - Repeating "OM NAMO GANESHAYA" is a great mantra for success.Ganesha is the God of beginnings and success. Therefore, this mantra is formed at the beginning of new undertakings and to bring about success by removing obstacles.

3. Pagan rosary - Pagan rosaries can be made from beads in a variety of shapes and sizes with charms representing various deities dangling from them. In Pagan traditions, the beads or stones themselves are believed to have an effect on the devotee as he or she prays. - Prayers for success can vary depending on the desired outcome and sometimes a pagan rosary will be made for that specific purpose in mind. My best advise is to meditate on the desired result while using the prayer beads.
