It all comes down to action. We’ve anaylzed, reviewed, honored our feelings and learned from our heroes. Now it’s time to put the past 10 days’ work into practice. Just sitting and “attracting” something  isn’t going to get it done. Certainly, the mindfulness of it is a huge part of success; but once we get the mindset going, we have to step up and act in concert with our beliefs.

Question #10—What parts of yourself will you need to call upon to create those three things with wild success in 2009?

The three things I’m creating in 2009 are money, new business and a healthier body. Here’s my plan.

1. Money. My intention is to attract lots of money in 2009. How much? Let’s call it, twice my current income. To make it happen, I’m relying on the guidance of my Very Cool Life Network (VCLN 2009) group. Our “textbook” for the group is the book Money, and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness by Abraham-Hicks. To do this, though, I’m having to let go of a ton of old, limiting beliefs about money and what it means in my life. I’ll be chronicling my trip on this blog and revealing how my life changes through this work.

2. New Business. Although this is almost certainly a part of #1, I’m looking at it as a separate creation. Part of allowing new things in my life is to get over worrying how they will occur. I’m attracting more money into my life and some of that may come though my coaching, or it may not. I don’t control that, but I can control where I take my coaching business in the next year. In the next weeks I’ll be rolling out a lot of new ways to connect with people and stand in service to them. To facilitate this, I’m working with Travis Greenlee and the Master Business Building Club. I’m already fired up about a new direction, and I’ll definitely be writing more about it, so check out the club yourself and stay tuned for some big changes.

3. Healthier Body. All my life, I’ve had a weight issue—even when, frankly, it shouldn’t have been an issue. I’ve been up, down, and in between. I’ve gone through periods of intense exercise, and times when turning the pages of a book was the most exercise I got. I’ve just about despaired of ever getting fit, slim and healthy. Recently, a friend of mine recommended a book, called The Four-Day Win: End Your Diet War and Achieve Thinner Peace by Martha Beck. It’s a completely different view of losing weight—and, believe me, I thought I’d seen them all. I’m working my way through the book and gaining a lot of perspective in the process. Beck is a very funny writer, too—at times, I laugh out loud while reading.  This year, I’m going to get fitter and healthier, and this book is showing me a new way to allow that to happen.

What parts of me will I need to call on to allow all the above? I’ll need to work more out of my heart and less out of my head. I’ll need to open myself up to alternative viewpoints and teachers. I’ll have to reach out and ask for (and accept) help where I need it. Mainly, I’ll learn to listen to and trust my deepest self and sweep that old negative, nay-saying, mean voice out of my head.

The Finish

Well, we’ve reached the end of  this particular road. It’s been enlightening and very interesting for me. I’ve met some new people along the way, and learned more about myself. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
