How Green is Your Thumb?

Reap What You Sow

I'm going to make a bold statement: you are already living successfully, perfectly, exactly and precisely as you have sown. You may not like, enjoy or feel comfortable with all you have harvested, it may not be exactly the crop you expected, but nonetheless, it is a perfect harvest.

Take a step back for a moment and look at your life? Is there an area of your life that just doesn't seem to work well? Do you spend more than you have but just can't stop? Do you eat more than you know you should but again find it difficult to say 'no' to more? Do you love your partner but just can't seem to stop fighting with him/her?

In these circumstances you are reaping what you sow. Forgive me if it sounds harsh! But this is the key to your success: the gift of being willing and able to take responsibility for your life. You are free to choose what you want to reap in life by choosing what you sow.

If you are unhappy with any area of your life then take a minute and ask, 'What seed did I sow to create this?' Ask yourself, 'What would I like to experience instead?’ Capture the essence of this experience in a few words. Once you know this answer, you can choose the seed that will bring you the benefit you desire.

Be diligent and keep your mind focussed on this daily. You are choosing to be this new state of being. Each day affirm 'I choose Optimum Health/Wealth/Harmony' and then take action that supports the creation of your desired outcome.

The action to create this new state of beginning arrives very naturally and spontaneously. For example a colleague of mine has been committed to creating Optimum Health in his life for the past 2 years. As a result he has sourced a variety of Super Foods to eat that support this intention. His intention of 'Optimum Health' 'nudged' him in the direction of eating for 'Optimum Health'. As a result he now lives free from the cancer he was diagnosed with 2 years prior to his 'Optimum Health' seed planting and is also 70 kilos lighter!

It takes practice to become a seasoned and expert gardener of life. Be patient and nurture your little seeds as they grow: soon they will be strong healthy ideals and will bring you the life you want to live. When we work with our 'Think Yourself... Successful' Mentoring Package clients we are assisting them to accelerate their learning to become a Master of the Garden of Life. The Garden of Your Life becomes a garden you are happy to sit in for it is rich, prosperous, abundant, healthy, vital and full of love, light, joy and happiness: a garden you can relax in and enjoy because it holds the harvest of the joyful seeds you have sowed!

It only needs you to take that moment before you sow to choose the seeds for your perfect success.

We are here to help you do this now.

For May we have opened up 3 spots for 'Think Yourself... Successful' Mentoring Packages and as a special offer for May you will receive the 3-CD Success Series Pack of your choice!

Details available at http://www.joanneprior.com and follow the 'Programs' and 'Products' link.

We will hear from you soon.

Yours in success

Kiss Your Problems Good-bye!

Good Afternoon wherever you are in this vast world of ours!

It is Monday the 10th of May 2010 and one of my dearest client/ friend has asked me to ‘Please-oh-please channel The Team on the blog for me!”

How could I say no!!!

So I interrupt the broadcast Weight Loss Success Tips to go back, for a moment, to what I ‘used to do’ and that is channel The Team directly for you!!!

For those new my world The Team are the 3 energies of ‘The Light’ that I give a voice to. I allow them to step into my energetic space and mind and allow them the ‘talk through’ me you might say. For more info on The Team please visit http://www.joanneprior.com and we’ll explain some more!!! Or call me on +61 2 9531 6752 or email jo@joanneprior.com and I will explain more!!!

The Team offer a unlearning and leads to a relearning of thinking that brings around great increases in the amount of ‘Good Stuff’ that can come to you in life!!! Their guidance and ability to blast everyone they come into contact with out of their ‘stuckness’ and into living a life rich in joy, love, health, happiness and abundance is extraordinary.

So here goes:

“Welcome to the world we want to say in this moment and why, you may ask, do we say this? We say this because it is time to welcome through the door of your life, the life you are meant to be living to let go of the charade you have been living. If you have been living with pain, or living with trouble, or living with problems then you are living a life that you are not meant to be living. This life is just a charade. But the charade will feel real for so many. So real that it may feel or seem impossible to believe that your life is just a product of thought and thought energy only. It is a reflection of the story, the fiction, you have been telling yourself. The more you understand and take responsibility for this then the more you open the doors to living a life that is stable, joyous, happy, healthy, loving and rich in everything you never thought possible. It is your thoughts and your thoughts only that create problems and it is your thoughts and thoughts only that cause you pain. No exception. So life is your choice. If it is your choice then what do you choose it to be? If you are willing to take this step of full responsibility and take control of that which you have ultimate control over then you will master your reality and love the life that you create. Ultimate control over life comes from taking control of your freedom to choose what you focus your attention and energy on. What you focus on, you create. Sometimes you have to go to the very core of your thinking to find what it is that is causing you all the pain. But you do not have to delve to find it. Find a new thought right now in this moment. One thought and focus on it until you live it so undeniably that you become it. Simple as that. You are the master of your destiny for you are free to choose what you think. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. God Bless’.

Ok Team thank YOU!!!!

Ok I know they keep saying it for I am sure you have heard it before from The Team if you are already in our family circle of The Light! But the truth is it is your thoughts that link your Spirit to your human self to either allow your life to come to life or pinch off The Light and cause your human self to suffer from lack of Light.

Simple at that.

Your thoughts ARE IT!!! Your ability to choose what you are thinking is the strategy for success you have on tap 24/7 for your whole life!!!

The quality of your thoughts, how often you focus on these thoughts and your willingness to persist in this direction is what ensures you either get ahead and be happy, healthy, in love and abundant or suffering in ‘Poor Me’ having limited cash flow, no love, unhappy and unhealthy.

The more you align to ‘The Light’ in your thought the more you become ‘The Light’ so you become that which can solve all your problems and bring you all good because ‘The Light’ doesn’t have any problems. It is Bliss. It is ‘Perfect’.

Would you like to live problem-free where love, health, happiness and abundance just are ‘how it is?’

The client who asked me to write this blog lives in ‘The Light’. She ‘Lives It’. She does live in her ‘stuff’. She cleared that out months ago in her ‘Think Yourself… Successful’ Mentoring Package. She is living reflection of ‘The Light’ and she loves it. As she loves it all, guess what? Life loves her back. The synergy in life now is fantastic. Every area of her life just gets better and better and better.

All that changed was her thoughts and thoughts. She thought herself into a life that she loves.

You can too.

If you’d like to discuss what The Team and I could do for you then drop us a line! We’d love to have a chat and ‘tune-in’ for you!!! +61 2 9531 6752 is the best number to contact us on or drop us an email at jo@joanneprior.com and we’ll get to you as soon as we can!

I hope this has helped!

Would love to hear your feedback!

Yours in success

Joanne (and The Team)

P.S. Because of this I have opened 3 new spots for my ‘Think Yourself… Successful’ Mentoring Packages to welcome in those I can ‘see’ coming! So welcome in and we’ll get started!

Next Tip to Budging Those Last Few Kilos!

Listen to your Body to Budge Those Last Few Kilos!

Last week we launched forward on our discovery of ‘how do I budge those last few kilos?’

As you would of read last week often my clients say to me 'I just can't seem to budge those last 4 kilos. I'm training a few times a week, I'm eating healthy but those last few kilos just won't go'. I feel their frustration!

Are you feeling frustrated about your results? No matter how hard you train, how often you hit the gym or how healthy your eating is you still just can't budge those last few kilos? You're listening to your PT and putting into practice their advice, so why can't you drop that last bit of weight?

If this sounds like you then do not despair for there are reasons 'Why?' these last few kilos feel like they are stuck like glue. Let's take a look.

Last week we shared the issue of quality of your eating. Remember poor nutrient quality drives you to eat beyond your required calorie amount! As we all know if ‘energy in’ exceeds ‘energy out’ then the ‘energy in’ will be stored as body fat. Which is the very thing you are wanting to lose not gain.

The second issue often causing those last few kilos to stick is the issue of timing of meals, combinations of foods, how frequently you eat, how much water you drink, if you drink alcohol, coffee, soft-drink, energy drinks and take supplements all contribute to whether you remain lean or not. You are what you eat, when you eat, how much you eat and how often you eat. Your body is a mirror of all your eating and food choices. Without exception! If you skip meals and then ‘stock up’ on ‘treats’ late at night then your body will reflect this lack of nourishment and not favour you with a look and feel that is spectacular…

Next week I will share with you my third issue of ‘Why’ those last few kilos just won’t budge and then move you into an ‘action plan’ of success to conquer this problem!

Until then I will look forward to hearing your comments, insights and strategies that you have found to work to budge those last few kilos.

Thank you to those clients who connected and said ‘Thank YOU’ for last weeks post! Many have improved the quality of their eating and began to lose weight in a matter of days.

If you would like to experience the same success then please join us on this weight loss journey.

If you would like to visit http://www.joanneprior.com and follow the link to ‘subscribe to our health community’ we will forward to you our latest e-newsletter for April entitled ‘I have Something Oprah Doesn’t Have…’!

Budging Those Last Few Kilos!

I wanted to share with you what I hear from my clients often 'I just can't seem to budge those last 4 kilos. I'm training a few times a week, I'm eating healthy but those last few kilos just won't go'. I feel their frustration!

Are you feeling frustrated about your results? No matter how hard you train, how often you hit the gym or how healthy your eating is you still just can't budge those last few kilos? You're listening to your PT and putting into practice their advice, so why can't you drop that last bit of weight?

If this sounds like you then do not despair for there are reasons 'Why?' these last few kilos feel like they are stuck like glue. Let's take a look.

The most obvious place to look first is the quality of your eating. The quality of the food you place in your mouth plays a huge role in your body’s willingness to release weight. In a nutshell if the quality of nutrients is 'poor' in your diet i.e. you eat more processed foods (even if they are low-in-fat or considered 'healthy') than fresh organic produce and chemical-free meats then your body will be starving for nutrients even if you are eating enough calories. Your body will drive you to eat more food to get the nutrients it requires but by so doing increases your calorie intake beyond what you actually need. So you end up eating more calories than you need. Enough to cause you to hover a few kilos above your ideal weight. No matter how good your intentions are to eat only a certain amount of food, if the quality of nutrients in that food is ‘poor’ then your body will sabotage your good intentions and weight will be gained…

Next week I will share with you another reason ‘Why’ those last few kilos just won’t budge and then move you into an ‘action plan’ of success to conquer this problem!

Until then I will look forward to hearing your comments, insights and strategies that you have found to work to budge those last few kilos.

I Have Something Oprah Doesn't Have...

Oprah says, "Money, fame and success don't mean anything if you can't control your own Being”

In relation to her struggle with food, what Oprah is saying is that no matter how rich and successful you are, if you feel out-of-control, hate the way you feel and are ashamed of the actions you have taken then nothing matters. It’s not worth the battle to achieve in other areas of life and seem successful if inside you have no control over how you feel and what you do.

Can relate to this? Have you at some stage in your life felt out-of-control? Hating how you feel? Feeling guilty for how you feel? Taken action not just with eating but in relationships or business where you have felt ashamed?

Peace of mind has become highly undervalued in our society as a means to bring around life success. But in my experience it is ‘The Strategy’ to live an authentic, true, rich and enriching life. Why do I say this?
For from peace of mind, comes the clarity, insight, wisdom and guidance from the core of your Being to guide you to feel, look and take action that is for your highest good.

Your Spirit, the essence of who you are, can only take action that takes perfect care of you and those around you. It does nothing to hurt you! It is sacred and treats you as the precious jewel in your life.

There is no harm that can come to you from your Spirit.

It is the thoughts that you choose to think in your mind about whom you are and what life is about, that cause you to feel the way you do and take steps that do not support you lovingly but causes you harm.

You have the ability to change this, for you, have the ability to choose what it is you are thinking.

What I have that Oprah doesn’t have is the ability to always remain in peace and serenity no matter what happens in my life. No matter how challenging it gets, how tired I am or how busy the day is (and believe me it is jam-packed with responsibility) my core centre of serenity remains. As a result I treat myself well with food and exercise. I attract only love, honour and respect from those in my private and professional lives. I have enriching experiences that bring me great joy, prosperity and abundance. I am at peace and my life is an enriching experience as a result. I don’t beat myself up therefore my eating is sane, my health is superb and my life is perfect in my eyes.

No amount of money, fame or success can buy this. This is ‘priceless’.

Oprah went on to say "It (fame, success, money) doesn't mean anything if you can't fit into your clothes," she says. "It means the fat won. It means you didn't win…"

What do you want to win in your life? The thinking and feeling that creates the feelings of being out of control, unhappy, miserable, fat, poor, lonely and sick? Or do you want the thinking and feeling that will allow you to live in control of your being to live a life looking and feeling great, with all the love, health, happiness and financial support to you?

Winning is life is not about beating others to the finishing line. Winning is about you gaining the most precious asset on earth and that is how you feel within yourself. Feeling and being in control of your self allows you to live problem and issue free. To gain the serenity around food and weight you have always craved, brings you the ability to look and feel great no matter what curve balls life sends you. The joy and nurturance in relationships you have always felt possible. The financial safety, security and freedom you have seen others enjoy but have always just felt out of your reach. Plus a level of health that brings you longevity and a quality of life you never dreamed imaginable.

It is all possible. It is all about how you think and feel.
The choice is yours.

I will hear from you soon. As I make it available to my clients through my ‘Think Yourself… Successful Mentoring Packages’ (see http://www.joanneprior.com/Programs.html
for more details) for I believe it is possible for us all to achieve this level of serenity to bring around true and authentic life success.

Be one of the first to have what Oprah doesn’t have.

Yours in success and energy

'Why do I feel fat and ugly no matter what size I am?'

Hello Everyone!!!

It is the 6th of April 2010!!!

Today I am discussing the question of ‘Why do I feel fat and ugly no matter what size I am?’

The reason I bring this up is because I hear it all the time!!!

I see women gain weight, lose weight, look great and still feel fat and ugly. No matter what they look like they still feel fat and ugly. Then gain weight again. To find that they just can’t get the will-power or momentum going to do the ‘weight loss’ thing again.

Has this happened to you? Did you gain weight then lose weight and still feel fat and ugly? Did you then gain weight again? Then find it hard to get the will-power going to lose weight all over again? Did you then get stuck not just feeling fat and ugly but being stuck in a body that no longer looks like you?

What is going on here???

This to me is the definition of insanity for women!!!

Considering that over half of the female population in our grand country of Australia is considered overweight and 30 percent of this is considered obese, there are plenty of women out there walking around stuck in a reality of feeling fat and ugly.

I have found in my own experience and that of my clients that is that possible to be free from this trap. For it is about changing the thoughts around who you think you are to become the person that does look and feel great and has the ability to take action that enables you to look and feel great no matter what.

The power of your thoughts is the key to unlocking your success.

My clients walk around centred in quiet confidence and gentle assuredness because of a mindset that values, honours and respects then which has provided them with:

• Peace of mind.
• A reconnection to that part of themself that doesn’t have a problem with weight (yes it does exist!!! We all have one and you do too!!!).
• Confidence in their ability to look and feel great for life

It is possible to look and feel great for life. Truly it is. You have the skills and abilities within you. It just takes a little bit of help and support to get you back to being you, the authentic you, which is looking and feeling great for life.

Feel free to pick up the phone and call us, +61 2 9531 6752!!! We love to have a chat with our clients and offer a complimentary 15 minute session to those who sincerely want to give up hating the way they look and feel for life.

We are here for you!!!

Day 49 - In The Success of 2010

Hello Everyone on the 3rd of April 2010

Easter Saturday in this part of the world!

Today I was right into 'channelling' today at 'Heavenly Energies', 499 Willoughby Rod, Willoughby. I loved it! Robyn Stephen's the founding owner of this wonder Spiritual Centre books me out continuously every time I am there!!!

5 bookings once a month!!! To gain insight and guidance into all affairs of the heart, business and life overall. I never know who it is that I am going to be channelling for! So I fly blind totally until I get to sit down with my client and get to say 'What can I do for you?'!!!

The Team are champions and come through with the clarity, peace of mind and direction for each client to burst them forward perfectly for where they are at at that perfect moment!!!

It isn't always what is expected but each client leaves with their unique steps to take! So if you would like to meet The Team and I in person to experience the message face-to-face (for remember all my consulting work is normally done via the telephone for convenience because so many of my clients are not local!)!!! So I'm there next on the 1st of May! Even though The Team and I specialise in weight loss and relationships, we target any area of life be it business, finances, health and children also! If you would like to gain the clarity, peace of mind and guidance The Team have to offer you about your life then I think there are only 3 spots left for the 1st of May!!! So they are booking fast!!! If you call Robyn on +61 2 9967 9415 or email on robyn@heavenlyenergies.com.au and we'll get you in asap!!!

Ok what I gained today in insight is; it is the quality and direction of our thoughts that creates the quality and direction of our lives. End of story. It is the quality and direction of the thoughts we think that create the quality and direction of what we live each day. Life is just a mirror of your inner world. If you struggle with life then life will be a struggle. If you fight within yourself then you will fight within your relationship with food or drink or lack of exercise or relationships that are troublesome and quarrelsome. If you 'think the worst' you will live a life paralysed in fear and be afraid to take action that will open doors to you living a life full of enriching experiences and reward. If you don't believe in yourself and think you're 'not good enough' then life will reflect back to you repeatedly situations that only make you feel unloved, uncared for and not taken care of. Life then delivers you situations that ensure your needs don't count, that everyone comes first before you and life is no longer a joy. It limits you from believing you are worthy of receiving love, abundance, success, health, leanness and peace of mind. It's not fun believe me to live with these type of beliefs!!!

Now most people don't know what thoughts are creating their lifes. They are just aware of the consequences of their thoughts. So they live in a way where they can't stand how they feel. They can't bear how unbearable how it feels to be who they are. They would do anything to change the way they feel so that they can live in a way free from the results of their thinking!!! They feel 'stuck' and therefore live 'stuck'. It is so painful!! Life gets caught in a rut and it feels horrible!!!

So when people come to me they tell me first off something like this:

'I hate how I feel. I am always angry with xxxxxxx. I can't seem to stop myself from exploding. I know I seem like I am someone who is all together but really I feel scared, uncertain and miserable a lot of the time. I can't go on feeling like this. There has to be something better. I can't keep on going on life this'.

Does that sounds like you sometimes? Do you sometimes reach the end of your proverbial rope and you can't see how to break-out of this rut? No matter how willing you are to not react the way you have you keep doing it? Then you just feel worse and worse and worse!!!

Now many successful people have these challenges!!! It happens!!! It doesn't mean you are bad!!! In fact the more successful you are the guiltier you feel when you feel something less than what you think you should be feeling!!! It is an opportunity to not berate yourself more to beat yourself into better action. For beating yourself up doesn't help, at all!!! It just makes you feel more guilty, useless and hopeless. Which only causes you to stay stuck in the mode of not getting past the behaviour you don't like!!!!

Ok so what do you do!!!

First step is get the insight and understanding into what the core cause of this challenging life situation. What is the thoughts causing the life situation you are faced with?
Second step is see where these thoughts are creating your pain.
Third step is turn these thoughts around into a picture of what you would prefer your life to be and start to think them as often as you can until you start to live increasingly the opposite to what you lived before.

So if you believe 'Life is Tough' then you turn it around to 'Life brings me opportunity for growth'. Or 'Life is Good' (I like that one for it is clear, precise and feels safe! Like the sun is shining and life can grow into good from that!!!)

Now I know it sounds simple. Because it is. What is tricky is how many varied thoughts you have creating your reality. It can feel overwhelming and 'where do I start?!' So what you don't want to experience is feeling defeated before you even begin!!!

So don't!!! If you need support to unravel those thoughts as quickly as possible to bring yourself that relief from feeling the upset, guilt and unhappiness to feeling more relaxed, at peace, confident, assured and able to cope with life and enjoy what you have then we are here for you. For this is what we spend our week doing!!!.

We are here for you if you need us to walk you out of feeling the pain into the light.

You are worth the effort, energy and investment into thinking differently so life can be a place of true joy for you.

Blessings,

Day 48 – In the Success of 2010

Hello Everyone on the 2nd of April 2010

It is a Public Holiday here in Sydney Australia! Which means no-one is meant to be working!!! It is meant to be a day of rest, a day of celebration and a day of new-beginnings. To me this day feels like Christmas Day all over again but with a slight twist for we are not in theory celebrating a birth, we are celebrating a rebirth. A birth of the Spirit as the authentic self not as a human being.

Now what does this mean???!!! What is the difference??? And what does this mean for the quality and direction of our human lives???

Well what this means is that this is the time for your true self or your authentic life to be experienced. Maybe I need to explain further. I know Suzanne Mercier of http://www.imposterhood.com.au will be saying ‘Yes’ to this already!!! This is the time for you to have the opportunity to embrace and flow with your authentic life path or mission or self.

I’m going to allow The Team to step in and explain for they are asking me to move over. I think they’ll do a better job:

“Easter is a time of rebirth. Freedom and liberation from all that has seemed burdensome and hard. It is a time to surrender all your problems, issues and hardships. If you clutch to your chest all that disturbs and hurts you in life then there can be no opportunity for that which is disturbing and hurting you to get well and disappear out of your life. What we notice is that humans think it is their power or will or wisdom that can fix problems. They hold onto problems tightly in their minds and emotions. Recreating these problems every moment of every day with the thoughts they choose to think and wondering ‘why?’ the conditions don’t get better. The only way you or your life can get better is if you will ‘let go’ energetically in your mind and emotions and allow a force greater than yourself to ‘take over’ and sort it all out for you. ‘The Light’ brings life to life. If you hold on yourself thinking the onus is on you to fix and heal it all with your human will then you are living in the dark. In the dark continually. Life cannot grow in the dark continually. Life needs ‘The Light’ and ‘The Dark’ to flourish. As in day-time and night-time. Activity and action during the day. Rest, recuperation and recharge at night. Two parts of a whole. Constant holding on creates excessive ‘Dark’. But an unnatural ‘Dark’ for it is the blocking out of ‘The Light’ rather than a peaceful rest and recuperation. The unnatural ‘Dark’ is what you need to ‘give up’. Let your worries, cares, issues and problems go to ‘The Light’ to allow ‘The Light’ in to do what it does best, bring life into life for you. Life is meant to be bliss. So ‘The Light’ can only bring you good. If you will allow it. God Bless”


Ok Team thank YOU for this!!!

Ok what I am hearing is that if we ‘let go’ of our ‘stuff’ to ‘The Light’ and allow ‘The Light’ the chance to do it’s thing then life can go from being fraught with hardships and struggle to pretty good. I think I can do this!!!

So how do you ‘let go’? For when I work with my clients in my ‘Think Yourself… Successful’ Mentoring Packages (find them on http://www.joanneprior.com ‘Programs’ page) at least 80 percent of the 22 calls we provide focuses in helping our clients ‘let go’. For it is a tricky process. For so many are so afraid to ‘let go’ in case… what might happen. I feel the fear is if they ‘let go’ things will get worse rather than better. So, so many hold onto tight and don’t let go even though life is unpleasant for them because they fear if they ‘let go’ it will only become hell, or worse hell.

So what is the first step to successfully letting go???

1. First step is to change your perspective about ‘letting go’. If you let go LIFE WILL GET BETTER. So you need to start telling yourself this. ‘When I let go life will get better. So I am willing to let go more and more’. You just need to be willing to ‘let go’ to let the process begin. For willingness shows you ‘get’ that there is a power greater than yourself that you trust can and will look after this for you.
2. Second step lie down each day in our infamous starfish position (palms up, arms stretched out, legs stretched out and eyes closed) and in your mind surrender everything that is worrisome to you and affirm in your mind ‘Take care of this’ as if you were talking to ‘The Light’ in your mind. Keep practicing this until after each starfish experience you feel more and more relaxed.
3. Persist.

What you will notice happen is firstly you will feel more peaceful, relaxed and at peace. You will stop worrying. As a result your symptoms, issues, problems will start to take a turn for the better.

For example we worked with a client about her relationship with her son. He was only 2 years old at the time. She had had a very strained relationship with him to say the least. Early on in one of our calls The Team identified how much she didn’t like her son. That she hated him. Now so many parents feel guilty for not feeling ‘love’ always for their children. But you have to remember that everyone has a different personality and at times others display behaviour you don’t like, at all!!!! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH FEELING HATRED. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH FEELING ANY EMOTION OR FEELING IT IS JUST WHEN YOU MAKE IT WRONG YOU GET STUCK IN IT.

So many of our clients come to us saying ‘I can’t stand how I feel. I can’t go on like this. I hate feeling …….. I’m at the end of my rope. I can’t go on’. It is all about how they feel. They usually are relatively successful business people with great family lives. But somewhere along the line they have made something ‘wrong’ and have got ‘stuck’!!!! So we ‘unstick’ and get life blasting again!!!

Once we liberated our client by acknowledging to her that we knew ‘her secret’ for she hadn’t told anyone how she felt about her child but their relationship was that disconnected and unpleasant for them both it was obvious to us!!!

So we asked this client to ‘let go’ of her thoughts about her son, and change her perception about him. For she used to call him a ‘Monster’ so you can imagine how he behaved!!!! To ‘He is a child of The Light’. We asked she ‘surrender’ him, her and the relationship to ‘The Light’. After a few days and a few more calls with The Team on her ‘Think Yourself… Successful’ Mentoring Package her relationship with her son became more loving, less fighting and she started to do ‘fun things’ with him. Which she had never done before. They reconnected and now they ‘love each other’ in their behaviour. He is still boisterous but they don’t fight. If that makes sense???!!!

So ‘letting go’ is a process which we can support you and the benefits are worth it.

‘Letting go’ enables you to lose weight, attract more clients in your business (I know so simple and business strategy and inexpensive), increase your income (for money can flow to you), increase and improve your health, better your current relationships, find new love and the list goes on. It also opens your life to an amazing myriad of unexpected chance miraculous occurrences never before thought possible. For ‘The Light’ not only solves the problems but brings in an added bonus!!!! This is the part of living in ‘The Light’ that I love the most and the part I live in all the time now is the ‘miraculous chance occurrence’ part!!! Each day is full of wonderment and amazing opportunities that take my life to a level of success that never seemed possible occurs.

We are not here just to fix problems, we are here to discover and live what is beyond this!!!

So ‘let go’ and if you find it a struggle but really want to live in ‘The Light’ we are here for you.

Yours in success and energy

Day 46 – In The Success of 2010

Hello Everyone on the 30th of March 2010

So much has happened today but I hardly left home and the office. But so much was gained. I made new contacts, I got to ground my next step in my business plan with my Business Mentor (Deb Pilgrim http://www.debilgrim.com) I consulted with one of my Personal Life Mentors, Elizabeth Walker (Clairvoyant Reader, +61 2 6452 2145) and channelled for my clients, colleagues and friends. Phew what a day!!!

What I learnt today for us all was around ‘making it’ in life.

Do you know you already have what it takes to live the life of success that you can feel or sense or even see within? That this image or feeling or sense you carry within is not just your ‘imagination’ it is actually who you are and what life is meant to be for you. So this inner ‘movie screen’ is showing you what life is divinely meant to be for you.

What I spend my time doing is helping my clients close this gap from what life is to what it is meant to be.

For example I worked with a client today who felt so disappointed in her success. She had made some amazing changes to her reality as a result of her work with The Team and I. She had embraced a whole new mindset and how to look at life in a way that encouraged life to grow and blossom rather than stay stuck and painful. She was enjoying the inner peace and harmony she had created. She had taken action to better her health and well-being and was enjoying her relationships for exactly the joy they were providing for her. But someone close to her had commented to her that they thought she wasn’t succeeding. In fact they thought she was ‘failing’ because she hadn’t put into action X, Y and Z. This seed of doubt was planted in my client’s mind and she started to feel demoralised, less-than and within a matter of a few hours she felt like a total failure. What happened is all her new actions of health and well-being evaporated temporarily and she felt like she had ‘gone back’ to how she was before.

So we spoke of this to get insight into what had really happened. For you know me I never judge experiences for what they initially present as. I always have my ‘results-orientated’ cap on and I am always looking for ‘What is truly going on here?’ so that I can get ‘The Answer’ that will provide the action plan that will actually relief the anxiety and allow success to continue to grow.

What we ‘got’ was that my clients expression of success was unique to her. In fact it wasn’t up for discussion with anyone. She was achieving in her own right in her own way in the way that was and is best for her. There was nothing ‘wrong’ with what she was doing. She wasn’t ‘failing’. She was living her authentic truth and what was and is right and best for her. So she was living ‘Perfect’ for herself. Her path though did not reflect what this close relative thought was ‘Perfect’. So this close relative acknowledged this.

By the end of the conversation we ‘got’ that it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. They are entitled to their opinion and in this instant it wasn’t appropriate for my client to take on the thoughts of this close relative.

By the end of the call the client and I had re-centred her in the acknowledgement of her successes and set the intention for April for her further commitment to what is right and best for her. She felt like a success again and was recommitted all over again with added strength and empowerment because now she truly valued and could see how much of her success she was already living.

Where in your life have you felt like a ‘failure’ because your life hasn’t or isn’t working out how others expected it to for you? Do you feel disappointed in yourself because you too think you have ‘failed’ to live up to your expectations? Is your life what you thought it would be?

You are perfectly in the right place and nothing is by mistake or accident. The trials in your life are preparing you for something immense for only from great trial can great reward come. So if life has been a bit of a challenge then somewhere along the line you will recoup the loss or gain as a result.

You are already a living success because you are you and you are on your path facing the challenges in life each day with courage, strength and a willingness to be the best you can be. No matter what you say to yourself or what others say to you, you are a success. Full stop. End of story.

When you ‘see’ and ‘get’ you are a success then it gives you the chance to blossom into more success. ‘Success breeds Success’. So the more you ‘get’ and ‘see’ your success already the more you will grow further success.

No matter what challenges in life you face whether it be weight loss, finding the ‘right’ relationship, growing your business, increasing your income, improving your health, reaching a fitness goal, having children, facing retirement it can all be done simply and easily from ‘seeing’ and ‘getting’ you are already a success.

We will look forward to hearing your thoughts on this!!!

Day 45 – In the Success of 2010

Hello Everyone on the 29th of March 2010.

I wanted to have a chat with you today around women, self-esteem and career. The reason I am bringing this up that 3 women in my connection have been faced with one of these 3 issues today:

• Had gone from a corporate position to Solo-Business Entrepreneur
• Was going from working at home as a Mum to paid employment outside the home after a number if years out of the work-force.
• Was going from the 5 figure income in an already established Solo-Business to a 6 figure income.


Now all these women were faced in this with feeling ‘stuck’ and not able to move forward. They felt demoralised and petrified despite how ‘right’ the decision to move forward is for them. Why did they feel this way? Because the next step they had taken or were attempting to take felt so confronting. In short they were all ‘cowering’ away in fear because they felt so overwhelmed with the prospect of the next step, what it meant, what they might have to do to get it all going and how to do it.

What I noticed was a common thread of thought as I worked with each woman. That thought was ‘Can I do this?’ I questioned why they thought this. The answer was ‘I don’t believe in myself’. I then asked ‘Where does this belief come from?’ The answer came ‘because I’m not good enough’!!! I went ‘Aha that’s it’!!!!

What I see happen for so many women is they get a glimpse of what their next step in life is. Then they set about actioning it. But their lack of belief in themselves steps in and paralyses them from taking further action.

Has this ever happened to you? You are faced with the next phase of your life, you know you need to take action but the ‘fear monster’ arrives and causes you to feel paralysed and you can’t see the way forward?

When you think thoughts that scare yourself like ‘I can’t do this. I don’t have what it takes. I’m not good enough’ it switches your mind off from receiving the guidance from ‘The Light’. This core belief of ‘Not Good Enough’ steps in out of your control and all of a sudden what seemed so ‘right’ seems so difficult and overwhelming. How many women do you know that spends nearly all their time proving how ‘Not Good Enough’ they are? Sabotaging career change, limiting income received, limiting how much income is their due and stalling employment opportunities to name but a few.

When you made your original decision to take this next step it felt ‘right’ for you, so trust this. But what it does is bring to the surface of your mind the very energy block that is stopping you from living your next bout of magnificence on earth. So you are pinched off from the very source or plan that can guide you perfectly to materalise this next phase perfectly.

For example in the first case this client had recriminated about her decision to change direction because she felt so overwhelmed with the core issues this step had brought up in her that she had thrown herself into the pit of despair which only caused her to feel more and more stuck and ‘out of The Light’. Being out of ‘The Light’ caused her to feel like her life wasn’t thriving. Which it wasn’t because she wasn’t in ‘The Light’.

In the second example this Mum knew she needed to get paid employment. She really wanted to take this step. But the low self-esteem issues it was bringing up for her was stopping her from making one simple phone call to the employment agency to get her process begun. This lack of momentum and emotional paralysis was causing her to feel even worse about herself and causing her to stall even more.

In the third example this client was scared to take the leap in case she failed. So her fear of not making the leap successfully (in case it proved she wasn’t good enough) was preventing her from taking the leap and finding ‘the way’ forward to make this leap successfully.

Each women was paralysed because of her mindset and mindset only. That is all. Therefore she has total power to change her reality and get ahead.

So what did I recommend for each woman? Well this is it:

• Firstly ‘get’ that it is self-talk and what you choose to think and feel about yourself that is stopping you from getting ahead in life with simple ease and grace.
• Secondly change that self-talk to something that allows ‘The Light’ to shine. So statements like ‘I am The Best’, ‘I am All Good’, ‘I am Perfect’ or ‘Life delivers me on The Best’ or ‘I choose All Good’ or ‘I live in Perfect’ are much better thoughts to think for they allow you to stop scaring yourself and ‘see’ the way ahead to success.
• Thirdly, persist. Be diligent with the new thinking for it will turn your experience around.

The real benefit to thinking and feeling different is that it opens up a whole new path and plan that you can ACTION AND FOLLOW. So this isn’t about thinking and feeling in a new way and nothing changes in behaviour. No. It is about allowing ‘The Light’ to come through and work it’s magic through you to shift you and your life in a new direction.

So your mind is open to a new way that then opens up new opportunities in your life.

It stops you scaring yourself into inaction. Simple at that. The action plan is all there for you. For it is all programmed into your Spirit. You just need to ‘let go’ and get out of your own way in your mind. It is as simple at that!!!!

Why does this new way work so miraculously? Because you are actually using your mind as an instrument to align your thinking with the sheer magnificence of your Spirit. Your Spirit is the foundation of who you are. It is your authentic self. So thinking as your Spirit rather than thinking any old human way opens up your life to your authentic Spirit-path. So you have magic here for you.

So be willing to surrender to ‘The Light’ of your, which is your Spirit and your Spirit will take perfect care of you.

Now what I have noticed with my clients is that they have become so caught in thinking in a way that pinches you off from ‘The Light’ that it feels impossible to change the thinking to get any results. So we work diligently with our clients to unlock the doors in your mind as quickly as possible so that ‘The Light’ can shine to bring your miraculously improved business performance, more clients, more money to you, better opportunities appearing, new contacts materialising all leading to greater abundance, happiness and success.

If you are stuck in a rut and know you need to move forward but just can’t get the confidence to do this then please call us on +61 2 9531 6752 or email us on jo@joanneprior.com and we will help you get over this hurdle and get you flying again!!!

We will look forward to hearing from you!!!

Day 44 – In the Success of 2010

Good afternoon everyone!!!

It is the 28th of March 2010 today. The sun is shining brilliantly in Sydney Australia. These early autumn days still hold the warmth and strength of the summer sun!!!

As I am writing this outside my apartment window is a chain-saw being used to cut down part of a tree.

Now you may be wondering why I am mentioning this???!!!!

Well I am mentioning it because it is rather loud and noisy. It has been going for over an hour now so it has been constant and consistent. To many it may seem ‘irritating’ and ‘stressful’ for to the sensitive nervous-system that some of us have sometimes this additional ‘irritations’ to our days on-top of what we already cope with can sometimes ‘push us over the edge’ with anxiety, stress and frustration. I am sure my neighbour upstairs with the very young child may be feeling a little on edge, especially if this is the time of day her little one sleeps!!! How often as a mother or father of small children when there is a risk of noise that might disrupt that all important day-sleep (for this day-sleep is such a sanity-checker for parents) would possibly feel like running out and saying ‘ENOUGH ALREADY’ to the chain-saw enthusiast???!!!

How often though do you feel ‘pushed to the edge’? Whereby it would just take one more ‘thing’ and you are ‘over it’? How many of you feel constantly just on the edge of ‘coping well’ where there feels like there is a fine line between ‘doing well’ and ‘losing it’?

Now you are not alone here.

It does not matter how successful, rich, thin, fat, poor, have children, don’t have children, play sport, don’t play sport, have a high income, live on a pension etc for most of us at some stage in our lives the smallest ‘irritation’ can sometimes push us over the edge from ‘coping well’ to ‘losing it’.

Now when you ‘lose it’ what I mean is you feel like you have lost your ability to cope well. You start to take on coping strategies that in the sort term may help to make you feel better but in the long term they adversely affect your health, relationships, ability to thrive and get ahead and your prospects in life start to flounder.

For example imagine you are someone who normally exercises and eats well. Then something occurs in life that you were completely not expecting i.e. relationship break-up or lost job. Now because so many life events are not expected they catch us by surprise. Now if you are already loaded with a reasonable amount of stress and anxiety (which simply comes from living life and taking care of yourself and your family) an extra unexpected change may be enough to push you past your normal threshold for stress and anxiety. What happens in your mind is you go into overwhelm mode. Where your body and mind collude (because hormonally your body is telling your mind ‘Run! Get out of this situation or fight it. Either way it is not good for me!’ What happens is your mind goes into panic mode and you move into a state of fear.

Now this fear is so powerful for it is hormonally backed by your body!!! So it is really really hard to click out of if you don’t get support to do so.

Now getting stuck in this fear is what is so detrimental to you. For what happens is you ‘close your eyes’ spiritually which means the ‘way out’ or ‘the answer’ to grow, develop and beautifully expand up and out of this situation is ‘pinched off’ and you can’t see. So it is akin to standing in a pitch black room with no idea where the door is to get out of the room.

So you don’t move. So in your life you become emotionally paralysed. You can’t move. Now you either take two steps from here. You ‘run away’ from the fear or the situation or you ‘fight’ it.

Now in our example what this means is that for a normally fit and healthy person you may stop exercising and start eating poorer quality foods that you won’t normally eat and eat them erratically and with ‘stress’. Like you are ‘stuffing’ yourself with food at odd hours of the day. What your mind and body are driving you to do is ‘run away’, hide away from the ‘threat’. It’s known as the ‘Fight or Flight’ response. So your body gains weight to ‘hide you’ from the scare!!! Or you take on the same behaviour for inside you are providing yourself with the energy required to ‘slay the dragon’. So you are ‘bulking up’ to prepare.

Either way it actually doesn’t solve the threat or presenting issue. The first couple of litre tubs of ice-cream may medicate you. But 30 kilos of body fat later it won’t taste so good. In fact it will taste of the essence of feeling hopeless, useless, out of control and totally demoralised and ‘not good enough’.

So how do we actually by-pass even having this reaction? Or if we do have this reaction how can we solve it as quickly, effectively and efficiently and work towards preventing it in the future?

Now the answer comes down to simply what judgements you make about life based on your life experience. For example if you lose your job, dialogues like ‘I’ll never get a job as good as that one. How am I going to survive? I can’t believe this has happened. I don’t know where I will get another job like that one? What if I’m unemployed for the rest of the year? What will happen if I never get another job? This is hopeless. I feel hopeless. I am hopeless. What a loser I am ’ all create fear and emotional paralysis.

Conversations like ‘I know this seems scary to start with but maybe, just maybe this has happened because there is something better for me just around the corner. How exciting is that. For I know that when something is taken away in life that it is because something better is there to be received. I am going to relax in my mind so I can ‘see’ what is around the corner for me’.

This second conversation allows you to open your spiritual senses so you can pull towards you the next experience of employment for you.

For nothing is taken away unless it is to be replaced with better.

Sometimes it takes us a few moments to ‘get’ that the ‘better’ is better for we often have so many judgements about what ‘better’ really means.

With willingness and grace I suggest you take these steps when ‘something unexpected’ happens!!!

• React first with shock. Call someone or set a time to talk to someone you trust who can ‘talk you through’ the initial disbelief but will lead you to a ‘positive’ dialogue about the situation. I spend all day doing this with all my clients, colleagues, friends and family!!! It is crucial to have a ‘story’ about life that encourages you to grow and blossom and not stay stuck in the pit!!!
• Start focussing on the new dialogue to soothe your mind and body until you feel calm and composed again. Persist with this until you do.
• Be open to the universal ‘nudges’ that guide you to ‘better’. For example you are guided to call a colleague a few days after your retrenchment and they ‘happen’ to of heard of someone who needed someone with your skills. They willingly put you into contact with this new source. Perfect!

There is never any point in getting caught in ‘Fight or Flight’ for it can ruin your health, weight, self-esteem and confidence if you don’t act to fix it asap.

Let me know your thoughts on this!!!

If you are struggling with your eating and weight and are sick of looking and feeling a way you never dreamed you would ever be then please feel free to contact us on +61 2 9531 6752 or email on jo@joanneprior.com and we will ‘click’ you out of ‘Fight or Flight’ and get you living as the magnificent being that you truly are. The one who has all the skills and abilities to cope with life in a way that doesn’t harm their eating and weight. Which means you look and feel GREAT FOR LIFE!!!

Day 43 – In the Success of 2010

Hello Everyone on the 26th of March 2010

I attended an Athena meeting (http://www.theathenanetwork.com.au) at North Sydney yesterday. For my Business Mentor Deb Pilgrim (http://www.debpilgrim.com) was speaking on ‘Attracting Clients’ for Female-Solo-Business Entrepreneurs.

I loved the essence of the group of women I was with. Athena is about building business communities for women who are Solo-Business Entrepreneurs. Athena provides women with the support, feedback, inspiration and guidance that they don’t always have when they ‘work alone’. It is like a team effort to pull us all too increasing heights of success. Perfect.

Suzy Jacobs, The National Director, of The Athena Network is the epitome of success in everyone’s eyes. For she is fast-tracking herself to achieve her business goals with good business savvy coupled with a personality and a passion for life that would inspire even the dead to come alive.

If you are a Female-Solo-Business Entrepreneur then check out Athena as a possible option for business support. It works!!!

Ok onto other things. I have learnt today once you decide what it is that you are doing or aiming to do in life then you need to put it out to others and ask for help and support.

If what you are aiming to do is bigger and better than anything you have ever attempted before then ask for help from those around you that you know will help and encourage you in any which way they can.

For example if you are aiming to take a leap in your business then tell those business people in your life that are your ‘Pillars of Influence’ that this is what you are doing. Then ask them for any help you need to get it all moving perfectly for you.

What part of the picture could someone else do for you? What part of the picture would someone else have a clearer idea of for you? What part of the picture would someone know someone that could help you further?

Ask. For you never know who knows what and who knows who.

I asked the women of my Athena group yesterday if anyone knew of an Owner of Curves in the Sydney Metropolitan area that they would be happy to introduce me to so I could share my ‘Think Yourself Thin’ complimentary Weight Loss Seminar. To help the Curves Owners have more successful clients to increase and improve their word-of-mouth referral from their client base. For we all know when someone is successful losing weight with a particular method they tell everyone. Good for business. So it about helping these women of Curves to gain the much needed skills, abilities and confidence to look and feel great for life.

Three of the women in the Athena meeting were more than happy to help me. In fact a week ago when I mentioned in my blog that I had spoken at Curves at Crows Nest a colleague of mine, Philippa Lowe of http://www.justgowrite.com emailed me to say she had just met the Curves Owner and Sutherland and was happy to introduce me. I contacted Jacki at this wonderful venue of Curves at Sutherland and we are in negotiation now about a possible date for the talk!!! So thank you Philippa and everyone who has offered to help.

What I am saying is if I didn’t ask or if I thought as a ‘Solo-Business Entrepreneur’ I had to do it all on my own then I would have been struggling to get all these details and feel confident to email and call these new contacts.

I think a connection that has come from personal referral is the best way to work. Rather than cold-calling. I don’t have thick enough skin for this!!!

I needed some help. I asked. I receive.

You know that old biblical reference ‘ask and ye shall receive’. Well I did ask and I received big time!!!

Suzy Jacobs also said she knew someone who knew the actual founding owners of Curves in the states. WOW! I’m there. I hope. I’ll let The Team take care of that. But I have emailed this contact of Suzy’s to catch up!! Woo-hoo!!!

So ask ask ask. It is not a sign of weakness it is a sign of wise business strategy!!!

So ask yourself:

• If I am aiming to take xxxxxx step in my business or life then who can I ask to help me to achieve this goal now?
• Then break it down further. Which part of this step do you specifically need help with?
• Then ask your ‘Pillars of Influence’ for this specific help. You will be amazed at what happens.

I have been enjoying the process of my new branding and product line. It is all pretty much set in stone now. I am now ‘branded’ as:

‘Joanne M Prior, Think Yourself… Successful’.

With my tagline:

‘Applied Spirituality’.

What do you think???

I have new business card printed up with this on it. I have included on my business card and on my email signature my qualifications because I came to realise that my qualifications is what gives my channelling the strength, power, effectiveness and efficiency to bring results!!!

The information I channel would be meaningless and unproductive if it didn’t come through my results-orientated-grounded-in-let’s-make-it-happen mindset!!!

‘What is the core cause of this problem? What is the solution? How do we make it happen? What’s the first step?’ mentality that I have as a scientist and counsellor are the thoughts my mind is focussed on constantly when I am working with clients. I don’t even let up with my colleagues, friends or family. I am constantly thinking of solving problems to bring dreams come true!!!

My personal and professional mindset is around ‘let’s solve this problem and bring into reality a better way of living and being’. So I channel the information from The Team through this type of filter.

So for those that know me there are no victims in my world!!! I hear the story once then we use this to recreate the story of your life to change your reality so you are happier, healthier, leaner, more in love, have more love, more peace, more abundance, more money, more fulfilment and find your way to living life with contentment.

My new products now enable you to do this.

My MMMPs as I said earlier this week have been transformed into 22 session packages and they are not entitled ‘Think Yourself… Successful’ Mentoring Packages. I will be focussed specifically on one area of life in each of these packages. So depending on whether you want to:

• ‘Think Yourself Thin’
• ‘Think Yourself Rich’
• ‘Think Yourself in Love’
• ‘Think Yourself Happy’

and the list goes on.

What would you like to create more of in your life? Are you sick of feeling the way you are? Do you feel stuck and life just isn’t working out the way you expected it to?

If this sounds like you then it is time to ‘Think Yourself’ into a whole new reality of living as someone who loves being themselves, is comfortable in their own skin, loves what is happening in their life, open and ready for more, in control without being controlling, excited about life and the continuing possibilities and are confident in their abilities to affect their life in a positive way to bring around all the life-affirming change they have desired.

I would love to hear from you and hear where you are at. Don’t hesitate to contact me for a chat, I love to discuss life and more than happy to share some tips to success with you.

I will hear from you soon on +61 2 9531 6752 and jo@joanneprior.com

Day 42 – In The Success 2010

Hello Everyone!!!

It is the 25th of March 2010 and I am preparing to head to an Athena Meeting (http://www.theathenanetwork.com.au) at North Sydney with Deb Pilgrim my Business Mentor (http://debpilgrim.com).

Suzy Jacobs the National Director of The Athena Network made a very important observation on her twitter (@athenanetwork) the other day. She said something around the power of picking up the phone and making a call rather than just sending an email.

Now I have to agree with Suzy here. When I started doing my private consulting via the telephone and email 8 years or so ago it was all new to do it that way. Using the internet and email was not so common. It was more of a novelty. Now it is inundating!!! I dread looking in my Inbox some times. For I get sent emails I know I haven’t subscribed to!!! It is overwhelming. To the point where I often just delete emails without reading them. Am I alone here? Does this happen to you? What do you do with email overload?

I do ‘chunk’ my email responding and flag important messages for action. But I feel that despite this there is something bigger and better to be gained. I have also found by just making a phone call so much more is gained in a shorter period of time. Business grows faster by making the call.

In this age of technology we are all so depend on the internet to provide us with ‘universal connection’. Especially with Social Media (Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook to name a few) and the abilities of our websites to provide regular email contact with our subscribers worldwide that we are now able to connect with ‘whomever, whenever, however’.

I feel this is fantastic for so many of us this interconnectedness as a chance to open doors of opportunity never before thought possible. So the possibilities abound because of this. You never know who you will meet through these connections and where they might head to. They could head to your ‘big break’ or your ‘chance success’. So it is exciting stuff.

But is this the only way for success to arrive now? Are we missing something of the simplcity or something from the 'old days'? I think Suzy mentioned it and I seconded it. 'Pick up the phone and call someone' seems to be our answer. But I think The Team wanted to say something about your ‘big break’ or your ‘chance success’. I think they want to say something about being more strategic in your thinking to bring your magical opportunity or ‘event of success’ to you quicker, better, bigger and faster!

So here goes:

“Yes what we wanted to say is do not leave it to chance. Be very directive in your mind. Yes your social media is important and it is one avenue as one possible channel of success. But if you are wanting to ‘make it big’ or ‘get there now’ or open your life to an opportunity of success that will reap you infinite benefit then in your mind we suggest you ask yourself ‘who can I call?’ For who is it that would open the doors for you? You only really want to be connected to this person. Your mind is an instrument of strategy. It is to be used wisely to love, honour and take care of you on the earth plain. Use it wisely to make it very simple for you to be guided in the direction to making ‘the call’ to the person that will count the most for you. God Bless”.

Ok Team thank you!!!

So what The Team are saying is be very directive in your mind. For remember your mind contains in it all the answers to all the questions. So ask the right questions to get the right answers (Anthony Robbins wrote that in his book ‘Awakening The Giant Within’).

You want to ‘make the call’ to the person that is going to make the biggest and best difference for you now.

No more mucking around on Social Media waiting for the connection to be made. Yes this network is great for support. But I think The Team are saying your opportunity is even more simple that this complicated network of possibilities!!!!

I will wait to hear what you have to say on this!!!!

‘Make the call’ to the person who can make the biggest difference to you!!!

Ok off to Athena now.

Have a great day!!!

FYI - I have upgraded my MMMP into four key products now for you.

The Four Key Mentoring Products are:

• Think Yourself Thin
• Think Yourself Rich
• Think Yourself in Love
• Think Yourself Happy

The ‘Think Yourself… Successful’ Mentoring Packages run for 22 sessions. With the special now for opening for April is 22 sessions at the price of 20 sessions.

So all there for you to open your life to getting there quicker, better, bigger and faster.

So if you feel like you are stuck and unhappy with what is happening in your life and can’t get a grip on how to feel satisfied, at peace, loving your life. For if you feel satisfied, at peace, loving your life it actually solves all your problems and brings in a better life for you.

Day 41 – In The Success of 2010

Hello Everyone

It is the 23rd of March today.

I felt I needed to say something else. Seems to be a theme for the week this need I have to ‘say something’!!! So am just flowing with this.

What I wanted to say was around relationships. I wanted to say always be willing to be the bigger person no matter what. Always be willing to always find a way to make sure the love, honour, regard and respect in any relationship is maintained, fostered and developed. This does not mean you have to stay in relationship when it has changed so much that you now feel like strangers in the relationship. Or that even if it is good for some of the time then it goes sour it is totally acceptable to walk away. As long as it is all done with the flavour of love, value, honour, respect and care.

I have seen so much of late with the women and men I have met as I have been sharing the ‘Think Yourself Thin’ journey that it is the impact of others in our lives that adds to the picture of who we think we are and how we feel about ourselves.

Everything you think and feel about another person they feel and experience. For your energy, words you speak and the actions you take (all driven from your thoughts) impact people in your life.

Your relationships in your life can be those with your partner, your children, your extended family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances and those you don’t know yet (get your mind around that!!! What you think about someone you don’t personally know can impact them also for it is all thought energy. This could explain why so many celebrities get caught being the image that public sentiment holds about them!!! Maybe that is what keeps Oprah struggling with weight because she is thought by so many on the planet as someone who struggles with weight. I’m going to think differently about this for her and see what happens!!!). To your relationship with your body, food, exercise, health and well-being all come under the umbrella of ‘relationships’ in your life.

Now what do you want these relationships to be? What experience would you like to live with all these people? What feeling and life would you like to live?

Well I choose to live in bliss. I choose to live in love, honour and respect. Where I am perfectly taken care of in every possible way. So that I am safe and secure and capable of thriving in every possible way so I can look after myself perfectly and take care of my family. This is ‘Nirvana’ and ‘Perfect’ for me.

So I set this intention every single day before the day starts. I choose to live this. I choose to live ‘Perfect’. I choose to live what is ‘Perfect’ for me. Now I don’t control ‘how?’ this picture is going to be revealed. For I know I will live this picture in my experience. As a result this is what I live. I do live in bliss. I feel totally at peace and serene and my relationships with myself, food, weight, health, my family, my friends, colleagues, money, finances, my business, my exercise and the overall balance of my life is perfect. So I live it. Does it always work out how I expected? No. But it is always perfect? Yes it is. I have it all. I maintain a healthy weight and my health just improves as the quality of my eating improves daily. My relationships get deeper and deeper and more sacred and enriching. My business booms because of this. My finances flow perfectly for I always have money for whatever I need at anyone time.

I don’t miss anything for I live the ‘Perfect’ every moment. So no matter when I am flat-out busy or if everything is still it is always ‘Perfect’.

I don’t attract hatred, negativity or hurt and pain. It just doesn’t happen. I don’t allow problems to become issues. I deal with everything as it arises and prevent disharmony and pain because I set the intention before the bad can even occur. If things get tense then I have the skills and abilities to always work myself back into alignment by being willing to be the bigger person and find the way to bring the relationship back into harmony. I live this and in my work show my clients how to gain the same skills and abilities I have.

At no point is it acceptable for me to criticism myself or anyone else. I just don’t. It is a good rule to set. Set the rule in your life and if you can get your partner to set it also then woo-hoo!!! Shane and I have the rule there is no name-calling. There is only treating each other as a precious jewel. We treat each other as if we don’t have to walk the path with each other. We choose to do it. The other person doesn’t have to stand by us. We choose to. So we treat each other as a precious gift to each other and it works. We continue to thrive and be well supporting each other to achieve that we are meant to.

Giving up criticism opens so many doors in your life to achieving your success. You feel happy and love your life, the love blossoms and your relationship deepens and is more fulfilling, new opportunities come into your experience because you inspire others to assist and help you because your attitude towards them is honouring, respectful and valuing therefore your business booms because of their support. You speak so well to others that you feel so good within that you stop beating yourself up with food and you lose weight. See how it all helps???

So I suggest you take these 3 steps to help you to think yourself into this life success:

• Make a pledge to only think highly of yourself and there fore others. I have a pledge to never ever ever criticise another woman. For my attitude is that if I criticise one woman I am criticising the sisterhood and letting us all down. If I hurt another woman I am hurting me. So I think ‘Perfect’ about everyone. It only draws women into my life that are ‘Perfect’ in that we have mutually beneficial relationships that are so respecting, honouring and valuing that so much is gained from emotional nourishment to financial stability.

• Persist.

• Think before you speak and make sure your words you choose to share with others come from value and care. For your words have power to either hurt or encourage. As Thumper would say in ‘Bambi’, ‘if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all’.

Let me know how you go? This way of thinking about my relationships has turned my life around on a health, weight and business level in a way I never thought possible.

If you need help those to think yourself into this type of success then please feel free to contact me on +61 29531 6752 or email me on jo@joanneprior.com for everyone is free to have a complimentary 15 minute session with me!!!! So now is your chance!!!

The ‘Think Yourself…Successful’ Mentoring Packages are now opening for April. They are 22 sessions for the price of 20 sessions as an introductory special!!! If you would like to be walked into the skills and abilities to live a life of sheer success then we are here for you!!!

Day 40 - In the Success of 2010

Hello Team on the 22nd of March 2010!

I have something to say!!! Something that has become a reoccurring theme when I have been talking to women around weight loss and ‘Think Yourself Thin’!!! So I thought I would share it with you for it might be relevant to you!

I have noticed when I am presenting my seminars on 'Think Yourself Thin' that women who attend often ask me the same question. They ask me, 'how do you keep thinking 'Perfect' when everyone around you is telling you, you are not?'

(For those who might be joining us on the blog for the first time may want to visit the blog from yesterday (day 39) for it explains clearly what we mean by 'Perfect'!!! But in a nut-shell 'Perfect' in the one-stop-shop mindset around weight, food and life that guarantees you look and feel great for life!!! Day 39 - In the Success of 2010 will pad out this explanation for you!!! We'll see you when you return from this page!!)

Ok for those who know what we mean by 'Perfect' and for those returned from blog number 39 - In The Success of 2010 let's return to the story!!!

A lot of women told me they are constantly critised, put-down and faced with negativity and opposition all day. They were shocked when I told them I wasn't. That I didn't have anyone in my life that puts me down. That those I hold dear to me are those that treat me like a precious jewel. For those that don't feel or treat me as such, I don't attract them, I don't interact with them and I literally don't know who they are. The women were shocked and couldn't believe this!!! I was shocked that they had so much negativity and they were shocked that I didn't!!!

So let's look at this. I am someone who doesn't struggle with my weight. I eat when I feel hungry. I stop when I feel full. I eat highly nutritious food 3 times a day with a 'fuel-up' on the weekend when I eat a bit more. I choose to eat really well. For it is an investment into me and makes me feel like $10 million!!! Because I feel this way I blossom, thrive and do increasingly well in life. I am at peace and my eating, weight and life reflect this. I only have love in my life and I don't mean romantic love here from just one person. I mean respect, honour and value of who I am at the very core of me! Allowing me to be regardless of if I am up or down. I surround and am surrounded by people that truly nurture me. Like Shane, Andrew, my sisters, Deb Pilgrim (my most perfect Business Mentor), Suzy Jacobs of The Athena Network, Gail Pisani my Personal Life Mentor, my best friends Liz, Jeanette, Iman, Victoria and of course my Helen and the list goes on!!! I don't know who doesn't like me because I don't associate with people who don't like me, and vice versa!!! My mindset is 'Perfect'! I don't look for problems. I look to live the best life ever.

Ok that's my life and the reality which springs from my mindset.

If you are continually being 'beaten up' emotionally and psychologically for not being 'good enough' it is because somewhere inside you believe you are 'not good enough' so the mindsets are matching and are being drawn together. I'm not blaming you and nor am I condoning abusive behaviour. I am providing an opportunity for growth past a stuck point of hurt and pain!!! Life does not grow and blossom, success does not breed in the face of negativity. I thrive because my mindset allows it. Negativity only breeds lack of momentum, a lack of love, a lack of control and ability to eat well and look fantastic, a lack of money, lack of health, lack of meaningful connections, lack of opportunities and again the list of lack goes on. What is lacking for you??? Is there a part of your life where you feel limited and less-than??? A part of your life that seems stuck and hard??? Then this is where your mindset is caught limiting you!!! Let’s move now into what this ‘stuckness’ might be!!!

If you believe you are 'not good enough' and in the words of Louise L Hay every single earth plain issue comes down to the core belief of 'not good enough'. Which The Team and I agree with. It does. Then if you believe this belief of 'not good enough' then you will attract it in the behaviour of yourself to yourself and from those around you.

'Not good enough' creates behaviour in eating that causes you to overeat or eat in a poor quality way that causes you to prove that you are 'not good enough' weight-wise and you put on weight. Simple as that. Abuse from others compounds the issue.
It causes all the lack whether it be with weight loss, or health or money or love or happiness!!!

How do we fix this though?! For we can fix it!!!

First commitment: to never ever ever put yourself or another person down from this point on. When you critise yourself you are critising everyone. When you critise others you are cristising you. Simple as that. Call another person or another woman a name and you are insulting yourself. Bitch, moan and complain about someone and you are pulling yourself over the wringer emotionally CAUSING YOURSELF PROBLEMS!!!! SO I ENCOURGE YOU TO NOT DO THIS AND THINK ‘PERFECT’ (FOR ALL THE REASONS AS BLOGGED ON DAY 39 IN THE SUCCESS OF 2010)

Now it doesn't mean you don't speak up when behaviour is inappropriate. But focussing on how a behaviour made you feel and what behaviour you would prefer to see in its place is a far better strategy then getting into a name-calling slugging match. Plus an assertive approach allows for you to grow in the situation and doesn't cause you pain. Therefore is less likely to drive you to eat for the wrong reasons!

If you are being critised and you don't know how to deal with it. Take these immediate steps:

*Don't bite back. In your mind say 'thank you for sharing'. You are acknowledging their opinion but you aren't taking it on as the truth. Just because they say it doesn't make it truth!!! Remember that!!!
*In your mind say 'I'm Perfect'. Now that's true. For your universal self is 'Perfect' and is who your fundamentally are. So perfect.
*Ignore them. Or pretend to ignore. Their behaviour will change when they realise you don't fight back.

If you are in a seriously abusive relationship please contact the Domestic Violence Line (NSW) 1800 656 463. If you live in another state in Australia or another country I am sure they have the equivalent. They will provide you with immediate shelter and physical support.

You have the power to be well and live in an honouring world.

Change your thinking to 'Perfect' so you attract what in essence is 'Perfect' for you. 'Perfect' for me is being treated as a precious jewel. If a situation arises that doesn't it's gone before it even arrives!!!!

So let me know how you fair with this!!!

You will notice a few changes with my work over the next few weeks!!!

The MMMP will become 'Think Yourself… Successful ' Packages of 22 sessions. There will be 'Think Yourself Thin', 'Think Yourself Rich', 'Think Yourself in Love' and 'Think Yourself Happy' to name but a few. Each package is focussed on each life area. So you choose which angle in life you want to target and we will work with this!!!!

The pricing structure is now a three-tiered policy based on income earnt!!! If you are below the $250,000 p.a. then nothing will change for you!!!

One-off sessions and 'Sets of 3' are also available. One-off sessions are really just an assessment session to determine if we need a 'Set of 3' or a 'Think Yourself… Successful' Mentoring Package!!! More information is available on my website http://www.joanneprior.com ‘programs’ link!!!

So look out for this!!!!

So doors are opening now for your success!!!

My 'Think Yourself Thin' 1-Day Workshop is this weekend on Saturday the 27th March 9.30am-3.00pm.

Come and gain the skills and abilities to:

*Stop being someone with a weight problem and become someone who doesn't.

Day 39 - In The Success of 2010

Good morning Team!!!

It is early in the 21st of March 2010 and I wanted to reconnect to say ‘hello’ and see how the weekend has been travelling with you? I was in and out of speaking engagements and then meetings yesterday. It was a whirlwind day of sharing wisdom, ideas, practical support to provide the skills and abilities to help others think, feel and take action to create the success they desired.

I spoke at Curves at Crows Nest yesterday on ‘Think Yourself Thin’. I had never met any of these women before. So I had not idea what to expect and I am sure they had no idea what to expect from me.

We set the group up into a circle rather than me standing at the front lecturing. I prefer to sit in with everyone and share the experience. I feel when women come together for the betterment of women, sit in a circle which so represents the coming together of the ‘Oneness’ then nothing is impossible to achieve.

It was so perfectly set up that the owner of Curves, Tavun Atkins, was sitting right opposite to me and he is a man that has never experienced an issue with his weight. So I was able to use him to prove the point that the only difference between his experience of being weight-issue-free and others experience of struggling with their weight was his mindset compared to theirs. For mindset creates how you feel, which creates the actions you decide to take. Your mindset influences your judgement, rationality and logic and causes you to eat either for the right reasons or what you might perceive to be the wrong reasons.

This man’s whole mindset around his weight was ‘Ok’. That’s it. Nothing more than that. In fact that was his mindset about everything. As a result he ate when he was hungry and stopped when he felt full. He didn’t eat to cope with how he felt or to fight or battle with himself. In fact he didn’t struggle with any real inner demons. He was calm, collected and at peace. Didn’t mean he didn’t have challenges in his life. He did for he faced all the concerns most of us face with businesses and families. But in his mind his core thought was ‘Ok’ so over all he was ‘Ok’.

Those with weight issues often have a mindset story around food that is long, complicated and full of pit-falls which therefore they end up acting out. For example this is a common story: ‘I’ve always had a problem with my weight. No matter what I try I just can’t seem to get a grip on it. I can lose weight but I can never keep it off. I can’t seem to be able to be free from it all. Even when I do lose weight I know that the ‘eating monster’ is still in there lurking away ready to jump out at anytime’.

Can you see the difference in the mindset and what feelings these people would have and what actions they would take? Tavun is ‘Ok’ so his life is ‘Ok’. Simple as that.

The second story is a life experience of pain, hardship, weight loss and weight gain, feeling demoralised and stuck. Feeling depressed and low not being able to get ahead to look and feel great for life. Failing to thrive is what I would call it.

Which one are you???? Do you fall between the two??? Which story would you like to tell??? Which story would you like to be????

I challenged everyone, including to Tavun, to take the concept one step further. I challenged them to ‘got for the stars’ in their mindsets to allow their full beauty, potential, good looks, strength, courage, confidence and magnificence to shine out fully and go for ‘Perfect’ as the life-story beyond adopting ‘Ok’!!!

For ‘Perfect’ is a courageous statement for in so many ways we are told ‘perfect is not possible’ for there is such a strong ‘your not good enough and don’t think you are better than you think you are for you are not’ mentality for so many of us. For so many women spoke yesterday of how often they are put down by others and told how unattractive and ‘not good enough’ they are. So there is so much resistance to speaking the truth of ‘Perfect’. Just because someone else says something doesn’t mean it is true. Especially if it is endless critisim and judgement of you as a person.

(To deal with this opposition in your mind if you hear a negative comment about yourself step back for a moment in your mind and say ‘thank you for sharing’. Don’t react to them for they are used to you ‘biting back’. Then in your mind say to yourself ‘I’m perfect’ and keep going around your day. Don’t get involved in the negativity and it will soon drop away for you will no longer be feeding it. Make sense??? You may have to do this a few times until the energy dynamic falls away. But if you don’t give the situation energy it will fall away to a situation of greater peace).

Ok back to ‘Perfect’. You begin to think it every moment of every day about everything. Why? Because you want to become someone who doesn’t have a problem with food and weight. Tavun doesn’t have a problem with eating or weight because he thinks his eating and weight is ‘Ok’. He had thought and believed this for most of his life. So he doesn’t have to consciously chose to think it now. It is subconscious for him now.

You want to take the steps to become this by firstly realigning your mind to think, believe and feel the same to take the same action and move into that state of this being a subconscious action for you too.

So firstly you think ‘Perfect. It is Perfect. Thank you for Everything’ non-stop, as I just said, until you get to the point where you start to notice you feel it and you actually ‘get’ it. When I say you ‘get’ it, it is that moment when it passes from just being a thought to being an authentic feeling and sense of truth. At this point you are then in the zone like Tavun of simply living it!!! Woo-hoo goal achieved. The goal achieved is that you are now in a safe zone where you can safely eat well and exercise and not sabotage yourself anymore. Therefore you will be able to lose your weight and feel great for life and not worry about the ‘eating monster’ jumping out and ruining it all for you because the ‘eating monster’ doesn’t exist anymore for you thought it out of you!!!

If you need support to challenge your thinking for you live the life stories you are telling yourself everyday and some have such complicated stories that have such power and strength over you that you find it hard to get a new story started. Then please feel free to contact us on +61 2 9531 6752 or email on jo@joanneprior.com

We have One-off Intuitive Insight Sessions, Success Packs of ‘3’ Sessions and our grand exclusive MMMP for those truly serious about having an ‘extreme makeover’ and want the experts to support them to think themselves into their success with a guarantee.

Which option would be best for you???

Remember my blog each day provides plenty of helpful information to assist you in gaining the skills and abilities to look and feel great for life. Plus my enewsletter which I send out monthly that you can subscribe to on my website http://www.joanneprior.com Also I have articles on weight loss published in the Fitness First Magazine for Dec/ Jan 10 and March/ April 10 if you would like to get your hands on a copy or I can email them to you!!!

So no reason not to look and feel good for life.

I wanted to say a huge thank you for Tavun of Curves Crows Nest for having me. I look forward to support him in his success in the future. For he is fully committed to the health and well-being of women.

Curves at Crows Nest can be found on Facebook ‘curvescrowsnest’ if you would like to drop them an email or 029437 6837 if you would like to give them a call or drop in to see Tavun and the women who bring such inspiration to their members at 31-33 Hume St, Crows Nest.

Yours in success and energy
