If you have a photo of when you were at your happiest and most optimistic, grab it and look at it several times a day and recommit to the energy of that time. If not, find a photo that evokes the feeling. The purpose is to replay the successful feeling and preplay the success you are creating. Feel all that energy there.

It was amazing how much Elva’s outlook shifted when she realized that she could once again put herself into that excited and hopeful state of heart and mind without any physical proof, which is exactly what she did when she first started her biz.  In short, she could create her success from the inside out.  Woohoo!

I loved this idea so much that I immediately decided to put a picture of my success front and center in my workspace:

I now keep My Book of Positive Aspects smack dab in the middle of my work space so that I can be reminded at any time:

1. how cool my life is,
2. how far I’ve already come, and
3. how wonderful my future is.

Woohoo!

The Book of Positive Aspects is a tool I learned from the Law of Attraction teachings of Abraham through Esther & Jerry Hicks.

What does your success look & feel like?
What can you put front & center in your workspace to remind you?

We brainstormed for 2 different peeps about:

1. How to smooth out the business flow in a one-woman-business, and
2. How to deal with important peeps in your life who don’t get your Big Dreams.

Ellie with Real Joy Happens took copious notes & you can read all of our ideas by joining the FB group and checking out the Discussions tab.

One of the brilliant suggestions that came up during our time together was by my Soul Sister Sandi.  She suggested that you bring something tangible like a photo  into your space that evokes a feeling of success and optimism.  I *LOVE* this idea.  It came up when Elva was talking about wanting to reconnect with the enthusiasm and hope she felt when she first launched her business BEFORE she had any success whatsoever.  Do you remember how that felt?  You can connect with those feelings anytime you want.

So here’s what I’m going to do.  I’m going to put my inspiring item {which is a book I love} right next to my computer.  At least 2 times per day I am going to stop, pick up the book, and feel the hope, joy, and confidence I feel when I read this book.  The message in this book makes me feel like I can do anything, be anyone, and have anything I want.  And isn’t that a beautiful space to create from?!

If you also want to feel better about where you’re at and where are headed, then bring something into your daily line of sight that inspires you and makes you feel courageous, confident, and successful.  Intentionally connect with those feelings at least twice a day for a couple of minutes.  All you have to do is pause, focus on your inspiring item, and allow those good feelings to flow.  Don’t make this process hard, long, or full of pressure.  Simply allow yourself to be inspired.

Everyone benefits when you share:
What inspires you & why?
