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

Love J and TT

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.

Please give us a call on +61 2 9531 6752 or email on jo@joanneprior.com and we will book you in for you 15 complimentary session to get you started with thinking and feeling differently to open your life to increasing money, health, happiness and love.

Talk to you soon.

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.

My contact number is +61 2 9531 6752 or email is jo@joanneprior.com if you would like to discuss any of the a

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

Day 38 - In The Success of 2010

Hello my Team!!!

It is the 19th of March 2010 late afternoon. Two blogs in one day!!! Am on fire here.

This is the eve of my 'Think Yourself Thin' Seminar with the women of Curves, Crows Nest at 10.30am tomorrow!

Am so excited to be invited to provide the women at Curves the opportunity to gain the skills and abilities to live as women without a problem with food and weight!

If you would like to gain peace of mind around food and weight so you never have to worry about being attacked by the 'eating monster' again then drop me a call on +61 2 9531 6752 or an email on jo@joanneprior.com and I'll book you in and send you the address details!!! It is all complimentary so you have nothing to lose and only sanity to gain!!! See you there!!!

My relationships e-book entitled 'The Modern Relationship' is just about ready to enter cyber-land for you all!!! For anyone looking to find love, recapture the 'zing' in a current relationship or for those wanting to make sure they 'get it right' second, third, fourth or hundredth time around then this resource will provide you with the skills and abilities to attract love, keep it alive and sustain it over time!!!

This e-book is available just in time for me talk tomorrow on 'Relationship -Breakdown, What do I do?' With Fay Frischer (Family Law Court Lawyer) at 2.00pm until 4.00pm.

Fay and I will be providing you with the emotional, practical and legal skills to navigate the relationship break-down path to ensure you remain sane, well, financial intact with a solid and safe post-breakdown plan for success.

If you'd like to attend please call me again on +61 2 9531 6752 or email me on jo@joanneprior.com and I will book you in and email you address details!!! It is complimentary also so come along and gain some skills to make sure you're next step in live is safe and secure on all levels!!!

My MMMPs are starting to be freed up now for March so it is time to start thinking where are you still feeling stuck. Are you still struggling on one area of your life despite being successful in other areas? Is there something you just can't get a grip on? Is there some ‘thing’ that you just can’t get right?

For most of us we have 'something' that is our 'thing'. For some it is food, eating and weight. For others it is love and not being able to land it and sustain it. For others it is not being able to commit. For others it is about always fighting with their partner no matter how hard they try to keep the peace. For others it is not being able to kick the smoking, the drugs, the lies, the cheating and the list goes on! Believe me I have heard and seen it all when it comes to the 'thing' in the course of my career!!!

Your 'thing' is actually the flag your Spirit waves to get you to 'wake-up' to living as your Spirit and not as the person you have become. So it is there as a flag. Not as a permanent fixture.

Do you know you can evaporate your 'thing' completely by speaking the language of your Spirit and not the language of the problem? Meaning you have the power, ability and skill intrinsically within you to solve this problem and live life free from this issue.

What language does your Spirit speak? What does your Spirit talk about? What does your Spirit have to say about who you truly are and what is your authentic life mission and life?

Once you 'hear', feel and 'get' this language of your Spirit and start to practice speaking the same language, guess what? Your 'thing' disappears and a better life built on peace, calm, love, richness and abundance appears.

Sounds good? You bet it is!!!

Your MMMP provides this for you, guaranteed.

What are you waiting for?! The time is nigh! I am ready for you now!!!

Yours in success and energy

Day 37 - In The Success of 2010

Hello Team on the 19th of March 2010

Yesterday was a day of me ‘getting’ that what we require is to be or have ‘It All’ we need to ask for help to do this. We are not here to manage on our own. There are no brownie points or martyrdom sweet enough that surpass the feeling of truly being able to achieve that which is most meaningful to us. It is ok to ‘out-source’ that which feels overwhelming to allow you to do that which brings you the most joy, health, happiness, love and money in the world!!!

What brings you the most sweetest sense of success? What makes you feel like a hundred million billion dollars? What makes you feel ‘yes I am so happy to be alive. Life is good and all is well?’

Life is meant to be a joy. It is not meant to be a series of struggle experiences that leave you overwhelmed, unhappy and demoralised.

Once you have answered this questions above. The next question is ‘how do I achieve this?’

Now the ‘how do I achieve this?’ is asked with a flavour of true willingness to ‘know’ the answer and not an undercurrent of disbelief!!!

You will be amazed at what answers ‘pop’ into your mind as a result!!!

For example I was chatting with a colleague yesterday about balancing work and family life. This client was taking a huge leap up in her business. But she had little support in the care of her children outside of school hours. Her limitation she felt was not getting a full day to focus on her ‘big leap’ to get it all moving whilst keeping her business as it is ticking over nicely. This ‘big leap’ was imperative for the growth and expansion of her business and it’s ultimate ability to support her family. So it was a step that was to benefit all. So what my client really needed and what was to make her the most happy was take this ‘big leap’ for overall the benefit to her family for the long term support and care of her family was immense. But the day-to-day running of the day were keeping her locked down and held-back. Was she frustrated and upset? How about, YES!!!

So we asked the questions above and asked ‘how?’. The answer to ‘how?’ was not the methodology to take the ‘big leap’ it was gaining the help and support with the care of the children to give her the chance to focus on and do what was required to take her ‘big leap’. So we came up with an ‘childcare’ plan for the short-term (a good month) that would free her up 3 full-days a week to allow her the freedom to focus on all that needed to be done to take her ‘big leap’ successfully.

Once the questions had been answered my client was back on track feeling safe, secure, in-control and back to being the master of her reality!!! She was back to her empowered self and ready to take on the world.

Use the same process when you are faced with a challenge that in the short term you can’t see the solution. The solution is always there. It sometimes is not what you expect (for my client did not expect to be seeking support with her children to gain her business success, but the solution was ‘perfect’!)

She emailed me later in the day yesterday to say she had discussed the ‘childcare’ plan with the children and they had agreed it would be a good idea for they had noticed how grumpy she had been and were pleased at the welcome relief from this!!! Perfect!!! Win-win!!!

Take the time to:

• Sit back when faced with a challenge, pick up the phone and call us or a friend who you can ‘talk stuff through’ with.
• Ask the first question ‘What is going to make me feel really happy here?’
• Once you answer that, ask ‘How do I achieve this?’

Simple steps, with profound results.

Let me know your story and the answers you gained!!!

It has been a week since I launched into 'Thinking Ourselves Thin' seminar. The skills and abilities gained were centred around using the power and strength of our thoughts to create a balanced, harmonised and serene experience with food, weight and life. To ensure we look and feel great, regardless of the challenges life sends.

One of the greatest gifts of all that I can offer you is the ability to remain centred, balanced, calm and free from eating emotionally regardless of what challenges you face. So no more eating when you feel happy, sad, depressed, bored or for whatever reason you find yourself eating outside of just what is good for your body. I can offer you true serenity around food. So no matter what happens in your life you don’t torture yourself with food and lose that sense of beauty and wellness.

Life is a challenge. But one that can be safely navigated whilst keeping you, your eating and your weight looking fabulous at all times. It is possible!!!

So to assist you to gain these skills and abilities to look and feel the best you ever had despite the good, bad and ugly going on around you I wanted to let you know about the COMPLIMENTARY seminar at Curves in Crows Nest (is 31-33 Hume Street, Crows Nest. Corner of Hume Street and Clarke Street for those new to Curves) this Saturday the 20th of March. I will be there from 10.30am-11.30am on how to further eliminate the thought of proving yourself 'not good enough' to finding more productive ways of proving how 'Perfect' you are! I would love for you to join me THIS SATURDAY as my special guest!

I am sure it would help:

*Reconnect you to that part of you that doesn't struggle with food (believe
me it does exist and it is actually who you truly are!)
*Further develop the skills and abilities to look and feel great in life
regardless of how challenging life is.
*Support you in achieving your goal quicker and faster.

If you would like further information on the events & seminars I hold that
will support yourself in "Thinking yourself Thin" than I encourage you to
visit my website on www.joanneprior.com and follow the link to 'events'.

So many options to ensure you think yourself into your success.

I will look forward to supporting you.

Yours in success and energy

Day 36 - In the Success of 2010

Hello Team on the 17th of March 2010

Today I wanted to discuss the importance of allowing yourself the opportunity to retract, hibernate, feel low, feel down and hide away!

Do you have those days sometimes when you just can't face the world? That you just want to crawl back into bed the moment you get up and hide your head under the doona all day? Do you have those days when the basis activities of the day like getting the kids to school, making dinner, making those ever important business calls or getting to the gym feel as if you have just been asked to climb Mount Everest in a pair of high-heel thongs!!! It ain't every gonna happen!!!

What do you do when 'doona day' hits???!!!

Well this is what I suggest:

*First step:

Acknowledge that you are feeling overwhelmed. Take it seriously. For it is serious. You are emotionally, mentally and therefore physically overloaded.

*Second step:

Ask yourself the ever important question, 'What is really going on here?' For you need to know the facts. It is usually not because you are lazy, or useless, hopeless or unable (which is what most think and this is rarely the truth!!!) It is usually because you are ready to reassess your life, to simplify and uplevel to live a greater degree of life success by brining in ‘the path’ for increased peace, happiness, love, health and/ or money into your life.

So step back from the judgement to get a clearer and more authentic view of what is really happening. How about I illustrate with an example:

A client today was feeling just this. She was feeling low, demoralised, depressed and didn't know how she was going to keep going on in her life the way that she was. She was exhausted physically but had reached a time in her career when she was ready to finally take the leap she had always dreamed of. So she was right there in terms of she had set her life up perfectly for this to occur, but she was feeling so overwhelmed that she couldn't get her mind around how she was going to take her next step because she was at her capacity already. She was in crisis. She felt she could not be it all or take on anymore. But she needed to take this next step in her business.

So we took step one and acknowledged that in this moment she felt really scared and had no idea what she was doing and where she was going. Now she is a successful woman so it shows you no matter how 'successful' you are we are all human (my Business Mentor http://www.debpilgrim.com has said this to me before and it resonates so strongly with me now) and face the same challenges of: how do we cope with the everyday whilst remaining sane, in control (without being controlling), feeling strong, safe and well with the capacity to not create problems from moments of distress so we continue to create a life of enriched success?

We took step 2 and asked 'What was really going on here?' for her. What we discovered was firstly her mindset was blocking her from 'seeing' her path and the 'how?' the next phase of her business was possible. We talked her up and out of her old thinking that was saying she wasn't 'good enough' to have the success she was capable of achieving next. The Team actually shown her what, in essence, her next step was by energetically walking her past the fear and into her new world in her mind. They gave her the new dialogue and she 'got' the feeling and sense of the new. Upon completion of this she was a transformed person.

Step 3:

*Use the answers and insights from step 2 to allow your mind to be opened to 'the way' to achieve the answers and insights. For example my client from this morning was able to 'get' in her mind a clear vision, sense and 'action plan' for what she needed to do in order to make her business plans a reality. Up until then it had all seemed impossible because the overwhelming emotion was causing her to 'close her eyes'! So she couldn't 'see' how she was to get there! So she stalled and felt like crawling into bed, never to resurface!!!

I checked in with her later today and she was back to being her! She hadn't hidden away all day and had begun her 'action plan' for her success.

So 'doona days' are not 'bad'. On the contrary they are a infinitely powerful opportunity to spring up and claim increasing success!!! If you handle it correctly!!!

So there is nothing wrong with having a 'doona day'!!! But from above you can see the amazing leverage in dealing with a 'doona day' to gain the skills and abilities to generate increasing success and momentum on your path to living your dreams that it is worth not staying stuck in bed!!!

Day 35 – In The Success of 2010

Now Team as I stand on the threshold of the 17th of March 2010 as the 16th of March 2010 draws to a close. I want to share with you an experience that occurred to me today.

I was working with an MMMP client of mine who is a client who has virtually been with me for life. This client is completely committed to living her life in congruence. And what I mean by this she is always looking for ‘the way’ to live that is going to ensure she lives safe, well, enriched, at peace, fulfilled, satisfied and abundant in every possible way.

A life situation occurred for her this week that she was not prepared for. It threw her completely. She was shocked and startled. Her world was rocked. She felt out of control, like she had no control, the fabric of her life was challenged and her trust and faith in the safety and security of life was shaken.

Now the reason I am sharing this with you is because this happens all the time to us all. Life isn’t about living in a fairytale picture. Life is about holding the space of peace, trust, faith and belief in the face of all the challenges posed. It is about ‘what can I do with these challenges? How can I make these challenges work for me?’

Life isn’t really a bed of roses for everyone is it? Why? Because we wouldn’t have any reason to reach or stretch for more, or for answers or solutions or gain a greater or deeper understanding if it was all so easy. The challenges are ever day. How often has this happened to you, you decide to take a course of action. You feel in your gut that it is ‘right’. You check in with the experts or people in your life that you trust and admire their good opinion and they agree ‘good idea’. You look at research, at what others are doing until you get a sense that ‘Yep, this seems like a great idea’. So you take the step. Then it all blows up in your face. You can’t believe it. It didn’t work out how you expected. You are left feeling confused, uncertain and you don’t know what to do now. You question yourself and recriminate about the choices you made. ‘How could you of been so wrong???’ you ask yourself. You just don’t understand. You trust, faith and belief in yourself wavers and you wonder how can you trust yourself, life and the path again. You then feel very vulnerable. Your willingness to further embrace life and options diminishes to a degree and your willingness to move forward drops. You close up and close off and end up living in a way that feels like a life half lived. But it is safe and free from catastrophe.

Now this may sound a little dramatic. Most of us don’t always reach this extreme point of despair, but a lot of us do.

This is what my client was faced with. She had made all the ‘right’ decisions and choices then something ‘bad’ happened. So what do you do then??? What do you do when you are in despair? When life has sent you challenges you never thought would ever happen for you? When you are faced with a reality that could ruin your life in every possible way? What do you do?

Well my MMMP client called me first. Why? Because she needed to get her head clear and focus her mind on precisely what was truly going in this life circumstance and how best for her to deal with it. The Team guided her through her perception turnaround from ‘disaster’ thinking to ‘Perfect’ thinking. Once our client was ‘seeing’ the situation for what it truly was she took control and took the ‘right’ action and the situation began to diffuse. Today we spoke to her, 4 days later, and she is ‘past the drama’ and in the flow of the sanity.

What she said she ‘got’ out of the experience was:

• You have no control over what is going to happen in your life. All you have control over is your ability to navigate the challenges in a way that ensure you don’t get stuck in the challenge and can move successfully into the next phase of life without causing undue damage or heartache.
• That no matter what if you hold the trust, faith and belief and follow this through the ‘drama’ you will be lead to a better and safer place.
• That even in the drama you can feel the discomfort of the anxiety, stress and heartache and still ‘know’ that you are being perfectly taken care of.
• That it is not about stopping the ‘bad’ stuff happening it is what you do with the ‘bad’ stuff that counts.
• Don’t make the ‘bad’ stuff the sticking point, learn from it and move on.

Now I don’t want to sound doom and gloom here!!!

But the challenges are constant, it is how you deal with them that makes or breaks your ability to thrive and get ahead. My client came out of this situation with:

• The skills and abilities to create a deeper and stronger love in her relationships.
• A reconnection to her partner never before felt.
• Peace of mind.
• Increased confidence in her abilities to take care of herself and her family.

Life is like the Olympic Games. It is a series of extreme challenges to test you to your maximum to see if you have what it takes to be a champion. The training for this we do all day, everyday. It is tiring and exhausting at some points. There are no guarantees of success. All there is, is diligent commitment and effort and possibly you will make it. But guess what? There are so many wins along the way!!! That the ultimate win by the end, who cares!!! Why? Because along the way you will of met all the people who love, care and cherish you for who you are. They are there on the path to support you and help you be the magnificent person that you are. Along the way you make all the money you need to take perfect care of you and your family so you fulfil that role perfectly!!! Your training means you have perfect opportunity to take really good care of yourself for hey you are an athlete and that’s what athletes do. They take perfect care of themselves. Their needs are top priority number one. So they eat, exercise and rest. For they know they can’t compete in the games if they don’t do this. They know they can’t walk the path and achieve everything without this. So they walk the ‘Perfect Care’ path so they can do all they have to. Standing on the podium isn’t really it. It is great if it happens. But the wins are actually happening now and if you focus too much on the end result you will miss what you have available to you right now.

It is the path that counts. It is what you have right in this moment that counts the most. The rest, who knows. It will be perfect, whatever it is. But whatever it is, is whatever it is. All you have is the now. Make the most of it. Stop waiting for your success. Stop waiting for yourself to be thinner, richer, more loveable. Don’t wait for the perfect man or the perfect person to arrive. Live now. For what you have right now is perfect. See it, give thanks for it and the rest…. will be perfect.

It already is perfect. It already is working out perfectly. All your choices and decisions have been perfect. Even if you don’t judge them to be so at this moment. At some point you will see that they are. Don’t wait until you die before you stop recriminating and judging yourself. Accept that it is perfect now and life from this now. Confident that the future will be as perfectly taken care of as the past has been.

Now if ‘bad’ has happened in the past. It doesn’t mean the future will be a repeat of that. No. Who says it is? Who says that is how it works? This is a new year. A new day. A new moment. It will only be the same if you think it will be.

I heard on the news today (which you know is rare that I even watched it for I never watch the news normally) that the financial markets in Australia are trading strong now. The drama of last years financial ‘reshuffle’ is gone. So 2010 is not a repeat of 2009. So no more fear about this. 2009 was perfect for it levelled life at a sustainable platform for wealth from an authentic level could grow. Those that embraced this challenge and opened their minds to the new opportunities have and are doing well. Those that stayed caught in the old stayed struggling in the old.

Don’t make 2010 the same as 2009. It is not. It is a ‘Strong Year’ a ‘Vibrant Year’. Allow it to be so for you.

To stay composed in the face of shock, uncertainty and instability this is what I suggest:

• Allow yourself to have your human reaction first. Call someone who you know is not going to perpetuate the drama but is able to listen and guide you into the answer to ‘what is really going on here?’
• Once you have asked this question you click straight into moving the situation into a safer zone. A safer zone is gaining the facts so that a plan of action can be formulated.
• Once the immediate action plan is formulated it can be acted upon.

These steps can be followed repeatedly until you have moved into a space that feels safe, secure and stable again. With the added wisdom gained that then allows you navigate the path more strongly and securely next time.

Life isn’t about avoiding the pot-holes it is about having the skills and abilities to jump them. But if you do jump and fall down one then you have the skill and ability to climb back out straight away and keep jumping!!!

Embrace life, with no guarantees and you will love and appreciate each moment for it as it is. It doesn’t mean you don’t dream your dreams. You do. But you live your path and love it for what it is and whatever The Light of you chooses to deliver you live that. For it will be perfect in every possible way.

I hope this helps.

God bless.

Day 34 - In The Success of 2010

Hello Team on the 15th of March 2010!!!

When you commit to 'The Light' and allow yourself to be a channel for and a vehicle for 'The Light' to work it's magic through you. Then all problems evaporate, the way forward to living safe, well, richly, abundantly, happily, serenely in a healthy, lean and gorgeous way opens up. You find 'the way' to restore your life to sanity because you have found 'the way' to live sanely from within yourself.

I spoke to a new MMMP client today. Our goal is to have her living her happiness for living her happiness means that which is causing her to live misery at the moment will of evaporateed and she will be thinking and feeling in a way that will only allow her to be happy. It is the living in a mindset that is causing her to feel and be miserable that is causing her all the problems. Change how she thinks and how she feels and it will open her experience to living in a new way.

The magic of opening the door to 'The Light' is 'the way' to restore life to sanity and order and then to bliss and harmony becomes apparent. Making it really easy to make the changes to bring around greater good.

Next Fitness First came back to me about my next weight loss article called 'Emotional Eating - Is There a Cure?' and said that in July/ August 2010 issue they will be able to publish it then. A big thank you to Analee Mattheews the editor at Fitness First Mag for this!!!

I thought I would share with you part of this article to give you a bit of an earlier taster. So here is part of it:


Emotional Eating – Is There a Cure?

By Joanne M Prior

You eat when you're tired, stressed, anxious, happy or sad. In fact there
never seems to be a time when you're not eating! You can't stop yourself.
You feel out of control. You hate how you look and feel but you just can't
stop yourself. You don't know what to do. You hate yourself but you just
can't stop yourself eating. You don't' know what to do anymore.

Does this sounds like you? Maybe you've been here once or twice in your
life? Maybe it feels like this reflects most of your life?

Do you remember how it feels to be in control, making the 'right' choices,
loving how you look and feel? Feeling confident and self-assured? Or do you
feel like you've never been to this place of such freedom and liberation?

You are not alone 55 percent of women in Australia are confronted with being overweight and 30 percent considered obese as per the Australian Health Survey 2007 to 2008.

Where has it all gone wrong? Why are so many of us struggling to gain
control to look and feel great for life? Is it all our fault? Or are there
outside forces affecting us?

Let's take a look at the overall picture.

Firstly, we are a product of who we think and perceive we are. Simply put
that if you think you have a problem with your weight you will. If you think
you are 'fat' then you will act this out and live as a 'fat person'. If you
think you are someone who eats for 'all the wrong reasons' then you will
fulfil this. Some what like a self-fulfilling prophecy. For example as a
child you may of been considered 'chubby' at a certain stage. As a result someone may of called 'fat'. It is common at certain stages in childhood development to carry some 'puppy fat' especially prior to puberty. But if this 'chubbiness' is then taken on as an identity as in 'I am fat' then it becomes a prophecy to be fulfilled rather than a stage to be successfully navigated.
Therefore setting up a mindset centred around being 'fat'. Therefore this
then dictates behaviour and encourages eating that will only create an
experience of being overweight...."

There are two more sections to this and then a 'solution' section!!!

What do you think???

Would you like to read more???

Also I met up with an amazing man called Tim Shaddock today. Check out http://www.liveraw.com.au if you get a chance. Talk about someone who has worked out how to 'Eat as The Light'. I heard The Team reflected in his description of the type of foods and the way he recommended eating. The man has cured himself of terminal cancer and has lost 70 kilos and he looks absolutely 'buff' now!!! Go Tim!!!

So all in all a perfect day in March!!!

How about you???

My MMMMPs are filling fast so if you would like to take control of your life and stop feeling miserable, scared, uncertain, depressed, lonely, sad, worried and uncertain about life, who you are, money, love, health and happiness then please give me a call on +61 2 9531 6752 or email me on jo@joanneprior.com There is method to the madness of life. Once you take control of your thinking and how you feel it opens the door firstly to living the solutions to your problems. Then it takes you beyond this to living your life in a way that you never thought possible!!!

If you feel like you just can't keep going on the way that you are. Then we are the ones to help you to gain the skills and abilities to live life in the way you always beleived you were meant to!!!!

Talk to you soon!!!

Love always, J and TT xxx

Day 33 – In the Success of 2010

Hello Team!!!

It's the 14th of March 2010. The sun is shining in Sydney, but the heat is out of the air! Autumn has definitely begun to creep in. Bringing with it the sense of preparation for the next big leap.

What are your plans for your next big leap? What would you like to see materialise in Autumn that would set the way for you to feel and be perfectly taken care of in every possible way to live safely, securely, happily, richly and abundantly? What 'flavour' or essence would you like Autumn to bring to you?

The reason I ask is it is time to move into this new season so important to 'mark the spot' with a clear intention. Also to acknowledge and be appreciative for all that Summer brought with it!

For me Summer brought to light and fruition so much of the success I had prepared for through Autumn and Winter 2009. Now I feel like I am standing on this success and it supports me as I prepare to take this next leap!!!

Autumn is about opening your energetic arms in your mind and welcoming the change that is to come. Life needs to change in order to bring in whatever it is that you desire. So many resist change for fear of what it might bring! But it's going to bring you increasing good! So let's make it easy for life to change for you to bring you what is 'next'.

First step:

*In your mind affirm 'I am ready (or even 'I am willing') to take my next step. I know it (whatever you have marked your next step to be) is necessary for my continual growth, development and expansion to allow in this next round of good. I know I need it so please I welcome it in. Welcome!!! You (as in your next step) are perfect for me. Perfect. It is Perfect. Thank you for Everything'.

Second step:

*Once you have had this conversation with yourself a few times you will get to the point where you feel like you 'get it'. In that you get a 'feeling' that you have received what it is you have been asking for. For example you asked Autumn to provide you with all the help in the world to make possible xxxx, xxxx and xxxx so that by the end of the year you have nothing to worry about at all. You engaged with Autumn as many times as you required to feel that you made the connection sincerely and authentically, you chatted away with Autumn until you felt 'heard' and were able to let go of your request to Autumn so Autumn could actually do as you have asked then you 'let go' and trust Autumn to deliver. At this point Autumn is then in a position to deliver for you, you 'feel' it, 'get' it and 'know' all is being perfectly taken care of for you.

Third step:

*You continue to 'let go' and not interfere with the creation and manifestation process mentally. All you need do is touch base every so often during the day with Autumn to see what Autumn is up to. Other than that you keep your mind clear and bear witness to the every changing picture going on around you. You participate in this picture change and are guided to be perfectly in the 'right' place, at the 'right' time, taking the 'right' action that is guaranteed. But you do it all without controlling the results. You live the results. The results are your ever expanding life for the betterment of you and those nearest and dearest to you!!!

I use this system with my MMMP clients. It is us talking you up and out of the thinking and feeling that is causing you to create problems into thinking and feeling in a different way that gives you the eternal skills and abilities to always create whatever in life you need. It stops problems being your everyday and allows more success in every area of life 'normal'. By actually shifting your mindset and your perceptions significantly enough and then showing you what action this means you now can take opens your life up to living richly and abundantly and not stuck in problems!!!


Try it on for size!!!

If you need help though to shift your thinking and how you feel because you just can't keep on going on the way that you are because you know it is 'killing' you, your health, your weight, your relationships and your zest and passion for life is zip then give us a call on +61 2 9531 6752 or email jo@joanneprior.com and we will provide you with the means and support to get you thriving again on all levels.

Hey I wanted to run something by you and see what you might suggest. You know how weight-loss for women is my life mission and passion. You also know I am a published author on this topic. What I need is to get to the top of the weight-loss industry now. I need to get in with the 'big-wigs' of weight-loss. I can bring the weight-loss industry better success because I can help their clients gain the skills and abilities to look and feel great for life. My service makes their service work bigger, better, quicker and faster. I can evaporate from their clients the actual reason why their clients are over-weight to transform them into people who don't have a problem with their weight! Now you might say 'isn't this counter-productive!? For you'll put the weight-loss industry out of business?' Well my goal is not to put them out of business! My goal is to get them more clients because of the word-of-mouth referral generated as a result of all their truly successful clients who will credit their success to the company who brought them this success!!!

I was miraculously brought into contact with the owner of Curves at Crows Nest and we are going to provide a 'Think Yourself Thin' seminar for their lovely ladies which I can't wait for!!! It will be complimentary so I'll post the information on http://www.joanneprior.com 'events' link! You are welcome to join us on the day! I also emailed 2 articles to the Editor of their in-house Magazine called 'Diane' for I loved the level of generous care offered by this magazine to their readers and I really wanted to be part of this organisation in a support capacity.

So what I think I am saying, does anyone know the founding owners of Curves in the USA that could introduce me?!

Just thought I would put it out there!!! You never know!!!! Would love to run my seminars world-wide and work world-wide with women in the weight-loss industry and in an organisation like this it would be perfect!!! Dream come true!!!

So let me know your thoughts!!!

So there is my intention right out there for Autumn!!!

Would love to hear yours!!!!

Always available for you on +61 2 9531 6752 or jo@joanneprior.com

Lots of love

Day 32 – In the Success of 2010

Hey My Team on Earth on this day of the 13th of March 2010.

I wanted to reflect today on the message of support or the ‘solution’ The Team brought through for the women present at the ‘Think Yourself Thin’ Seminar on Thursday night the 11th of March. My colleague Robyn Stephen who owns the Spiritual Centre ‘Heavenly Energies’ where we held the event sent me an email today to say ‘thank you’ and reflect on her insight from the evening.

This is what she said:

Hi Jo,
It was an excellent night – I really appreciated the explanation about the role of women and why we perceive ourselves as “less than.” Well, look out, I say, because we’re going to change all that !!!!!!!!!!

Lots of love,

Rob xx

I thought what would be useful and helpful to you would be if I shared part of the dialogue I returned to Robyn on this and then added further insight that The Team and I offer as the ultimate ‘solution’ to look to looking and feeling great for life. For it will open doors for you. How does that sound to you?!

Before I go on did I tell you I am in the process of putting together two e-books? One on Love, Relationships and Marriage and the other on Think Yourself Thin? Both will be available through my website for you as soon as possible!!!

I am committed to you having the skills and abilities to achieve whatever it is in your heart you know to be true and ‘right’ for you. So I have made so many resources available to you at your fingertips on my website http://www.joanneprior.com

From my daily blogs, to my daily ‘Magnificent Moments from Jo’, my monthly e-newsletters (which you need to subscribe to once you jump onto my website) , my comments and insights that I post on Facebook (Joanne Prior), Twitter (OMGJoPrior) and LinkedIn (Joanne M Prior). My pre-recorded channelled messaged from The Team on CD (through the ‘products’ link on my website) , Intuitive Insight Sessions, The Magnificent Mindset Mentoring Packages (known as the MMMPs, see the ‘programs’ link on my website) and the Seminars and Workshops!!!!

Phew!!!! NO REASON TO EVER NOT GAIN THE SKILLS AND ABILITIES TO LIVE YOUR SUCCESS!!!

All these resources mean I am always able to support you 24/7 to make sure you conquer your demons and live life knowing how to always be able to find the best and most lucrative path forward to ensure you blossom and grow in bliss and harmony for all your days!!!

The e-books are another way for me to support you to live your magnificence!!! So hold the space for this additional support Team!!!!

Now let’s go on and let me share my dialogue with Robyn Stephen to help you solve the weight and food struggle to look and feel great for life.


Here goes:

Hey Robyn

This is wonderful feedback!!!! Thank you!!!

I truly 'got' the message as well on the night like you did and I feel totally liberated all over again now.

I clearly understand the root cause of women's issues especially relating to food, eating and weight in this circumstance has been 'not good enough'!!! So even I blasted forward all over again R!!!

That in truth R for women it is the fact we are trying to prove constantly how ‘not good enough’ we are that causes us to interfere with our eating and weight and causes us to gain weight in an attempt to prove the point!!! For being overweight is a sure fire sign that we are ‘not good enough’. In a way it is an affirmation to the universe of ‘see I told you so. I told you I wasn’t good enough and now I have proved it completely’.

Now this ‘not good enough’ is a universal issue. For it affects us not just in eating and weight but in self-esteem, relationships, career and financial success and in what good we will allow ourselves to receive or not receive. It limits us totally and stops us from living the magnificence of life.

It was great when The Team then said “Why don’t you spend your time proving you are ‘Perfect’ rather than proving you are ‘not good enough’?” The moment they said that I thought ‘Yes! Just imagine how great we would all look and feel if we used our food, eating, bodies and lives to prove we are ‘Perfect’ and not waste all that time, energy and effort to prove we are ‘not good enough’? To me it opened up my whole mind to the possibility of Infinite Success in all areas of life’.

Thanks R for all your loving support on the evening. It makes it all worth it!!!

Love J xxx

The ‘not good enough’ issue rang huge bells for us all there on the 11th of March 2010 at the ‘Think Yourself Thin’ seminar!!! It all made perfect sense and we could see the thread of 'not good enough' running through our lives. For me as well it was a huge 'aha moment'!!!

So today The Team and I wanted to share further with this:

How many women do you know who spend their time trying to prove they are ‘not good enough’? Most women wear the mask that they are ‘Successful’ or that they are ‘Doing Great’ or that everything is ‘Perfect’. But if they struggle with their eating, food, weight, relationships, finances, health and happiness to can be guaranteed that they are actually struggling within trying to hide that deep down inside they believe they are ‘not good enough’ and are afraid someone will spot this. So they feel like a fraud. My colleague Suzanne Mercier of http://www.imposterhood.com.au champions this cause in the corporate world and would back this up 100 percent.

The core belief causing weight and eating struggles is ‘I am not good enough’.

Now it is not your fault you have this belief. It has been handed to you down the chain of cultural, societal and religious strands since time began.

But it is your responsibility to free yourself from this.

So how do you free yourself from this??? Well you do what you are doing. You keep proving ‘something’. But the ‘something’ you start to prove is not that you are ‘not good enough’ you start to prove you are ‘Perfect’.

This is the process I suggest you use to get started!!!:

• Change your mindset instantly and write a new story in your mind as to who you are.
• Capture the essence of that story as being you are The Light. For your Spirit is the true essence of who you are. So you reflect and affirm this. The Light is ‘Perfect’. It can and does deliver ‘It All’ to you on earth. The Light is ‘Perfect’ in every possible way and can only deliver unto you the best of the best. So you need to speak the truth of this at the core of yourself as your new core belief. So instead of ‘I am not good enough’ being your core belief ‘Perfect. It is Perfect. Thank you for Everything’ becomes your core belief.
• Commit and pledge that you are now going to take all the mental and physical action necessary that will prove how ‘Perfect’ you are. Commit to never ever ever ‘beating yourself’ up again. Commit to always treating yourself well in your mind and in your actions so you can blossom, grow and develop and get well.

Remember it is the ‘beating yourself up’ (which is just the outer behavioural reflection of the core inner belief of ‘not good enough’) that causes you to eat food that is only going to cause you to put on weight and feel horrible, hate the way you look and cause you more pain. For the more you hate how you look and feel the more you are driven to eat in a way that causes you to look in a way that you hate!!! For you are only encourages yourself to eat more in a bid to further prove how useless you are!!! So NO MORE BEATING YOURSELF UP!!!! Out the door with that habit!!!! Think in a way that is the most loving and honouring of you, ‘Perfect. It is Perfect. Thank you for Everything’.

‘Perfect. It is Perfect. Thank you for Everything’ is your new language to support yourself to eat well, eat sanely, exercise and take the ‘right’ action you need to look and feel great for life!!!
