Empowering People to Resurrect their Lifestyle Dreams from their Financial Ashes

“Whether you think you can or think you can’t – you are right” – Henry Ford

These are very wise words and going in to the new year, they may just be the words that could make the hugest difference in your life. Already people have expectations of what 2010 has in store for them. What are you saying about the year ahead? Will it be the best year ever, will it be more of the same, will it be a year of hardship or a year of love and abundance. In 2010 will you survive or thrive?

In ThetaHealing™, Vianna Stibal teaches us about the power of our words and thoughts. When we are in a Theta State we are able to manifest things into our life at an ever quickening rate. Of course it is only us that sees things as good or bad, so maybe we need to be more cautious and focussed on what we want.

Have you ever noticed that when people say that they are bad at something, they generally are. Take for instance the person that you meet that says “You’ll have to excuse me, I am really bad at remembering names, so I will probably forget yours.” Well, I was a little like that a few years ago. When I was in the midst of depression, I used to say I had the memory of a goldfish… oh, look a rock… oh, look a rock… and so it goes on. Pretty funny, maybe now but certainly not at the time. I had lost a lot of my cognitive ability and I was going through one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. During my discharge from the Military, I had to fill out forms, and complete heaps of complicated processes that if I did them wrong, my future entitlements would be wiped, and subsequently were. I was told that I had no future and that I would always have depression. I was being discarded with little to no help or hope. Not a great outlook for a woman in her mid 30’s.

I remember hearing the quote by Henry Ford one day and its words started a great shift within me. Could it be that simple? I stopped saying that I was depressed, I started to say that I was great at remembering names, and slowly started to reassure myself that my memory was reliable. I had been saying that it felt like my brain had gone away on a holiday. I remember the day my brain came back, it was such a joyous occasion. I actually felt smart again. I completely changed what I said about myself.

During the year after I was discharged from the Army, I studied Neuro Linguistic Programming, I studied with Doreen Virtue and I was well and truly on my path with ThetaHealing™ by becoming a Practitioner. Last year I became the first ThetaHealing™ Master in Australia and this year was awarded a ThetaHealing™ Certificate of Science. All of the courses I funded myself with no assistance from the Military. I knew that my recovery from depression laid within re educating myself, and it has. Each course I complete provides me with the means to recreate my life the way I want to live it. Not too bad for a woman with no future. One of my biggest triumphs is that I now teach people how to use these very tools that have saved my life.

Another insight on being what you say you are, is the idea that people have of being a “survivor/survivour”. Anyone who knows me would know that I love the show called Survivor, but that is as far as things go. How many people do you hear that are Cancer survivors, Abuse survivors etc? For as long as they say that they are a survivor, that is all they will ever be. I am not a Depression survivor. I refused to cap my true potential at that level, I want to thrive and that is exactly what I am doing. What words do you use to describe yourself that are capping your true potential?

These days I have a great memory, I am great at math, I am free of depression, I am an awesome ThetaHealing™ Teacher and practitioner and I am abundant in all areas of my life. Even in my “trying” moments I am exactly what I say I am, so if I am not enjoying my experience I change what I am saying about myself. Thanks for reading,

In our day-to-day lives we do things according to our Values, Vision and Vibration without even being aware of it. If at any time, any or all three are out of alignment, usually the outcome is less than optimal. It has taken me a long time to work out the delicate model that when I am in alignment with, always assures me a very happy day indeed.

I really love teaching ThetaHealing™ and know that this is one time in my life that I truly live my bliss. When I look at why this is the case, I am drawn to the 3 V’s. ThetaHealing™ has the same values as me, the Vision is the same, and the Vibration is amazing. So that all adds up to me having a wonderful existence. When any of the V’s are missing or what I am doing is not in alignment with my 3 V’s, then the flow slows or totally stops, the day becomes clunky and I am having to work hard to get anywhere.

This week whilst teaching a ThetaHealing™ Boot Camp (Basic and Advanced ThetaHealing™ Practitioner’s Course, and Manifesting and Abundance Course, all taught back to back) it became very obvious to me that the 3 V’s can be applied to everyone and everything. My students and I spoke at length about the times in our lives when we were out of alignment with ourselves and the resulting misery or drama.

All too often we allow other things to infiltrate our lives and when they are out of alignment with our Values, Vision and Vibration, there is a huge disparity and we are left feeling low, depressed or overwhelmed. By keeping in alignment with our 3 V’s, we can live the life we truly deserve. But we need to know what they are first. What are your Values, Vision and Vibration?? Maybe you need to have a closer look at yourself and your life.

In her teachings for ThetaHealing™, Vianna Stibal talks about the importance of the 3 R’s. Resentments, Regrets, and Rejections. To be able to clear these is an amazing way to heal yourself. I have cleared an enormous amount of “stuff” using these simple yet effective procedures, and firmly believe that they are the very reason that I am able to be as clear as I am. And now to be able to implement the three V’s adds a whole new dimension to my life. I am better equipped to honor myself and my souls journey, and live without the distractions that I allowed to rule my life previously.

So next time something doesn’t quite feel right, check in with the 3 V’s. When you are in full alignment with them, you will be in your flow.

This time of the year is usually filled with love, joy and the Christmas Spirit, which is great, but many people are left in dire financial situations, after embarking on a huge ‘over’ spending spree. And for what purpose?

Our need to ‘buy’ our loved ones that ‘perfect’ gift drives us to lose sight of what is important in our own lives and ultimately dictates our standard of living.

One of my good friends used to be caught in that never ending bad credit cycle. She always wanted to give everyone what they wanted at Christmas time, and would wear the consequences of her actions for a good half a year or more, as she paid down her credit card only to do it again the next Christmas and the next, etc.

The other thing that she would do year after year was to make a New Years resolution to reduce her spending. That would realistically last until the next shiny thing appeared which would always be during the post Christmas sales. Does any of this sound familiar to you? Or maybe someone you know?

When I asked my friend about her financial goals she just gave me a puzzled look and said that she didn’t know what I was talking about. Her answer shocked me. After a short discussion about what she wanted to achieve in her life I started to explain to her how the use of a budget could actually help her attain her financial goals. Her immediate response was that budgets are evil and they restricted her current standard of living.

Ah, hello! Wasn’t her standard of living already restricted by maxed out credit cards???

My parents instilled in me from a young age good financial skills and knowledge. They showed me how to implement a budget to achieve my financial goals and achieve great wealth, as well as having fun along the way.

By using a budget to my advantage with the ability to invest my pocket money I was able to start my journey to wealth creation from a young age. I had a knack of knowing what I wanted in life and what I was prepared to do to achieve that result. By knowing these two things, a budget is an integral addition to any one’s strategy to create their ideal life.

As I said earlier, my friend sees budgeting as restrictive and as a burden. Her up brining was very different to mine. Money was never spoken of and the family’s finances were hidden from her as a child. So what she did learn about budgeting was from school, which incidentally was the same place where she was told that she was bad at math. This obviously left a bad impression so she rebelled against her own finances. She has a big heart and loves to give, but she is so unaware of her financial situation, that it is sending her broke.

This started me to thinking how many people are there that have similar money issues as my friend. Well it turns out there are heaps.

Most people just manage their finances enough to get from pay packet to pay packet.

What if you could do it a different way?

Merry Christmas.
