What’s Stopping You? Thoughts from a Life Coach

leanna — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 13:20:10 +0000

“The secret to my success is that I bit off more than I could chew and chewed as fast as I could.” Paul Hogan

“You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” Eleanor Roosevelt

“The only way to the Place beyond Fear is to do the thing you fear most. This is how to surrender to your best destiny.” Martha Beck

Thinking it Through

This weekend I went to a terrifying and wonderful seminar. Terrifying, because for three days I was forced to do the one thing that has always scared me most… SELL. I love teaching, coaching, listening but when it comes to asking for money I have a truck-load of beliefs holding me back. So here I was, forced to face my fear head-on. The first day I was sure I would lose the breakfast I didn’t have. That evening I knew exactly the beliefs I needed to shift. I pulled out the tools I’ve learned to change those beliefs and got to work. The next day I begin to enjoy the process in a sick sort of way. More limiting beliefs showed their ugly little faces and that evening I worked through those. By the third day I was almost having fun with the selling process. I started to see it in a different light as I wrapped it in a soft blanket of service.

The whole weekend was a reminder that the quickest way to get past self-sabotage and fear is to face it. Jump in that fire and your limiting beliefs will fly in your face. You won’t have to wonder what is stopping you. You will know! When you know, you can get the help you need to change those beliefs and move towards your dreams with freedom.

Challenge:

1. Are you stuck in an area of your life?

2. What can you do to jump into the fear?

3. When you do this, what limiting beliefs show up?

4. Write down those limiting beliefs and get help to change them.

Your Body Never Lies!

leanna — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 21:39:37 +0000

Before writing this book with my friends I thought I knew what I was feeling. I am a Life Coach after all! Found out that I wasn’t so clear. Why? Because I was listening to my head, what I should feel, what others think I should feel, what I’ve felt before in this situation. Now I know to pay attention to what my body feels instead. The beautiful aspect of that is my body never lies and neither does yours!

New Book! Body Sense for Women

leanna — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:22:59 +0000

I am so excited to let you know that I have just finished a book which I cowrote with two friends, Dr. David Hubbard and Dr. Heidi Sauder. Body Sense for Women (that’s the book!) begin in a pain clinic as Dr. David Hubbard worked with chronic pain patients. He and his colleagues encouraged patients to scan their bodies regularly and notice the sensations they were experiencing. Those sensations often related to feelings the patients were having. A lump in the throat indicated sadness, a tightness in the chest related to anxiety, butterflies or a racy feeling in the stomach to fear and a pinch or tension in the shoulder blade area to anger and so on. When patients identified the feeling early and took steps to alleviate the negative emotion they could often avoid the progression to a migraine or other severe pain symptoms.

Dr. Heidi Sauder as a therapist and I as a Life Coach took this idea into our practices to help clients better identify their feelings and make wise decisions on a course of action. Much to our surprise most of our clients did not identify their feelings accurately until they begin paying attention to their bodies. It is too easy to allow society and our own beliefs to mislead us. For example if you think being angry is “bad” then you may say you are depressed or sad instead. If you take the time to notice what your body is telling you then you will know the truth and can take action that is most effective. The body never lies!

So now we bring these ideas and practices to you. Using these simple techniques will enable you to use your body’s wisdom to take excellent care of your emotional and physical health which leads to a more joyful and meaningful life. To order the book or learn more go to

Tired of the Same Old Stories? Thoughts from a Life Coach

leanna — Tue, 04 May 2010 16:56:22 +0000

Nothing changes until you do. Unknown

My inner world creates my outer world. T. Harv Eker

Thinking it Through…

We all have stories that we tell over and over. They are the stories that drive our family crazy as we share them at every public get together. However annoying those stories may be to our loved ones, they are usually quite harmless. Unfortunately, many of us have stories which we tell that are devastating to our lives. For example, a friend of mine is always saying how tired she is. (By the way, she has been thoroughly checked out by multiple doctors and has a clean bill of health.) One day I decided to count how many times she mentioned her exhaustion. After I hit a dozen in a half hour I was too worn out to continue! This behavior is called “Story Fondling” by the best-selling author and Coach, Martha Beck. We tell the same story out loud or in the quiet of our minds over and over and over. “I don’t have enough money.” “I’m old.” “I’m not smart.” Sadly enough we are programming our minds with these negative beliefs and as we do, the beliefs become a self-fulfilling prophecy. So often “story fondling” keeps us sad, discouraged and preoccupied with a mournful past or a frightening future. As we run that well-worn story track , we are missing out on opportunities and joy in the present moment.

Think for a minute… Do you spend time “story fondling?” If you are not sure ask a very honest close friend or family member. Is that story serving you in a positive way? My droopy-eyed friend is served in a way by her “exhaustion story.” It gives her a ready made excuse to cop out on life and go to bed. But at what cost? She is missing out on so much and the world is missing out on benefiting from her unique gifts and strengths which she is too tired to share. Take this month to notice your stories and change them to serve you. You are the author of those stories after all so it is your right to change them!

Challenge:

1. What stories are you fondling?
2. Are they serving you in a positive way?
3. If not, then how can you change your stories to positively impact your life?
4. What stories do you need to tell yourself to easily create the life you desire?
