Holy Trinity of Self

I think I have had a realization about myself and my business today.  I have felt so torn lately between wellness coaching and personal/professional development coaching.  I have always had a passion for nutrition, health and wellness – but at the same time I have a passion for working with people on improving their sense of self and taking their business or career to the next level.

I have had an idea for a while about relating the “Holy Trinity” to self.  The whole “body-mind-spirit connection” not being a connection at all but three aspects of the whole self.  And bringing that into my work.

I think I need to rework how to say what it is that I do… but I do think that bringing in all three elements, which in turn will bring in wellness coaching, personal development and professional development coaching all into one THING – but what to call that THING, right?  yowza.  At least my business name, Optimize You, works well… maybe I’m an Optimal Coach.  :)

Declare your intentions – don’t affirm them

Staying motivated on a day in and day out basis… How the heck do you do it? 

Some experts will tell you that you must do affirmations every day.  EVERY day.  I have tried on and off throughout the years to do affirmations.  Sometimes they feel good – but often I feel like I’m lying!  We’re told that for an affirmation to be effective, we must say it in the present tense – as if it is already true.  I’m a BIG believer in the “act as if” principle, but affirmations have always been a struggle for me because a little voice in the back of my head says, “What? no… that is not true! are you lying?”  But I thought I must need to keep this to myself – after all, I’m a motivational speaker – I’m a professional development coach – I must believe in affirmations…. right?

Recently I have been reading T. Hav Eker’s book “The Millionaire Mind” and he says exactly what I’ve always thought!  (I guess I should trust my instincts a bit more, huh?)  He suggests that making Declarations is much more powerful than affirmations.  So, I’ve tried it.  It feels more powerful.  It feels like, “YEAH! I’m going to do this, just watch me!” 

Here’s a beautiful way of looking at a Declaration:

When you Delcare something you are speaking it into existance.

 SO – tell me: What are you going to Declare today?
