Feed Hungry Children

Did you know there is a contest right now for the best idea for humanity? The best idea for humanity, would be one that helped humanity and helped the helper. That’s why my friends Rebecca Johnson of BeTheChangeChangeTheWorld.com, Rowena Coshan of MumsOnline.biz and I have entered the contest. The Best Idea for Humanity contest. We are daring something worthy.

As moms, we can’t bear the thought of starving children. Not now, not ever. We want to feed starving children. We want Full Bellies for All.

Did you know that 14,000 children die every day of starvation? We’ve found a company that makes food that will completely nourish a malnourished child in 30 days. And it only costs $22 to do it.

In addition to that, so many people are hurting right now. Today’s economy has rocked many people’s world. And we want to help them too.

So here’s the plan. Build a membership site that costs $22 per month and feeds a hungry child for 30 days. And members get access to step by step instruction, tools and techniques to build an income stream online. And they also get access to our unique system for eliminating limit beliefs. Because those suckers kick you in the knees every time.

Check out our cool entry video for the Best Idea for Humanity contest.

If we all help each other, we can do this. Please vote for us so we can move to the next round. You need to register, then confirm your email, which will take you back to the site to vote. Please vote. Help us feed hungry children. We think we have the best idea for humanity. But we need your help. Click below to vote.

Best Idea for Humanity

Thanks for stepping up for the children.

All You Need is Love courtesy of Noel Zia Lee on Flickr

How much love do you have in your life? I don’t mean your general circumstances like

• I love my husband
• I love my job
• I love my kids
• I love my house

How much love do you experience every day. The Beatles sang “All you need is love.” I think the common interpretation is that if you have someone to love, that is all you need.

I’m here to say you need way more love than that. But not on the receiving end. On the giving end. And here’s why.

The more love you put out into the world, the more love comes back to you. And I’m not talking about someone to love. I’m talking about everything you love. Or could love.

Like

• I would love to live in a big house
• with a pool
• and a Lamborghini in the driveway
• on the water
• with a boat
• and a housekeeper
• and work from home
• and a landscaper

Every experience you have every day is either loving, or not. Wearing that cute skirt is love, getting mad in traffic is not. Having a friendly chat at the grocery counter is love, being annoyed that you forgot your ‘green’ bags again, is not. A big bear hug from your kids is love, hollering for them to hurry or you’ll be late is not.

Now I’m not pointing those things out to make you feel bad. I’m guilty of all of the above… and more. What I want to share with you is this.

If you can figure out how to have more loving moments in your day… you will drastically change your life.

I mean drastically. And I’m not saying it’s easy either. The first thing you need to do is become aware of all the times you separate yourself from love. The next step is to discover ways to feel love more often.

• carry pictures of people and things you love
• remember happy family moments
• dance
• develop a hobby you enjoy
• sing
• laugh
• curl up on the couch with a good book
• do something nice for someone

There are a million ways to add more love to your life. I challenge you to do it.

3. Is Love Holding You Back?

by Christine Kane

Have you ever been at home all day when there’s nothing in the fridge?

You open the door. You poke your head in. You hum a little tune and look around. You sigh. You grab a handful of pine nuts. You go back to your desk.

About an hour later, you’re hungry.

So you go back to the fridge and look again. Nothing new has appeared. You pull out some black olives, put them on a saucer, and go back to your desk.

You think, “I should go out and get something to eat.” But you don’t. A part of you is convinced that a solution will appear. Maybe a Sous Chef will arrive at your door.

Amazingly, this doesn’t happen.

Eventually you’re back at the fridge. You look in. Then, you close the door, reach up to the cereal cabinet and grab a handful of Kashi…

What happens in this scenario is that you eat all day, but you never feel satisfied. By 5pm, you’re strung out, unfulfilled, and you wonder why.

Here’s why:

You ate. But you never actually fed yourself.

We do this exact same thing with our attention. We dabble in random things. But we never really commit to anything.

I call it Attention Splatter. It’s when you mindlessly and half-heartedly splatter your attention on non-activities. But you never fully engage.

Remember this: Your attention ultimately feeds you. It feeds your heart and your mind. This is why it’s so important to notice what you give your attention to. This is also why splattered attention leaves you unfulfilled. You never actually feed yourself.

The most common Attention Splatter culprits are:

• Email
• Cell phones
• Clutter
• Internet
• Television

If you are prone to Attention Splatter, here are seven ways to feed yourself and get more done.

1 – Have no more than three priorities for the day.

There’s only so many things you can get done in a day and still enjoy the day. Get into the habit of spending five minutes each night deciding what one thing you want to get done the next day. Ask yourself, “If I only accomplish one thing tomorrow, which one thing would make me most happy?”

2 – Know the task before you sit down at the computer.

This is a must. When you don’t do this, you can get lost in the millions of non-items that any computer has to offer.

Assign tasks. (i.e. “Clean out email folders”) Assign times. (”From 1pm to 2pm”) Stop as soon as the end time arrives.

3 – Put an end to activities that leak.

Make a list of “leaky” activities, and stop the leak by scheduling these activities. (As opposed to letting them take over your day.)

For instance, instead of letting email leak all over your day – all day every day – schedule email as an activity at a certain time each day. Every activity should have a home – a space for its completion. Otherwise, you set yourself up for a full day of splatter.

4 – Leverage your small slices of time.

It’s easy to look up at the clock and see that you have, say, 45 minutes before an appointment and think, “Well, I don’t have time to do anything substantial. So, I guess I’ll just go on line.”

Turn your thinking around! Learn to fit constructive things in to small slices of time. It’s amazing what you can complete in a short focused slice of time!

5 – Use your intention.

Before you begin any activity, set an intention for that activity. Intend your desired outcome and how you want to feel during the activity. This is the ultimate act of creativity.

6 – Get rid of anything that doesn’t feed you.

Incoming emails, group emails, magazine subscriptions, news aggregate feeds, TiVo, memberships, unread books…

The list of incoming stuff goes on and on.

Get your life in order. Get rid of anything that doesn’t feed you. If you subscribe to it, ask yourself why. Start letting go of stuff. Doing this one thing has helped me create a home and office environment that is healthy and sacred. Be ruthless about keeping the incoming stuff to a minimum.

7 – Be present in your down-time.

When you take a nap, take a nap. When you take a Saturday off, really take it off. Don’t spend the day obsessing about the things you should be doing. Turn off the computer. Get out of your office. Go away.
Fully disengaging from all of it for fun is imperative. Plus, this will allow you to return with renewed energy and attention!

EFT Tapping Body Energy

EFT tapping is a form of psychological acupuncture. The body is an energy system similar to the electricity that comes to your neighborhood. During a thunderstorm, it’s common to see your lights flicker. Or even lose power completely if a tree falls on the electric lines. That’s a disruption of the energy system.

All emotion you experience is not only experienced in the mind, but in the body as well. And any emotion can get “stuck” in the body. Unless you remove that blockage, the energy in you body doesn’t flow freely. Just like a downed power line. Until the electric company comes out to fix it, you don’t get your power restored.

EFT tapping helps release these emotional blockages an restore your personal power. A thought or emotion or memory can trigger a disruption in the body’s energy system.

That disruption can trigger physical or emotional pain. Or it can prevent us from manifesting what we desire.

Many times we are completely unaware of the blocks we are experiencing. But a trained EFT tapping practitioner can help you discover the things that hold you back.

It’s a quick and painless process that produces amazing results. I have used EFT tapping to clear my limiting beliefs about

• money
• self-worth
• fears
• anger
• disappointment
• physical pain
• procrastination

And I’ve used it to help me in my business when I get stuck and don’t know what the next step is.

I know lots of people who have used it on:

• phobias
• addiction
• weight loss
• sports performance
• self image

And if you have looked into EFT tapping at all, you’ll hear people say, “Try it on anything.”

What’s cool about it is you can do it yourself. Although I find my best releases come with working with an EFT tapping practitioner. And the immediate improvement is obvious.

Now I have had to work on some issues with a series of EFT tapping sessions. But persistence pays off.

It’s wonderful to be free of some of the nagging thoughts and emotions you’ve carried around with you for a long time. I highly recommend you give it a try.

Law of Attraction - Gratitude courtesy of alicepopkorn

We all know that gratitude is a keystone for using the law of attraction. We know that being grateful for what we already have, tells the Universe to bring you more to be grateful for.

Let me ask you. Do you have a gratitude journal? Do you consciously give thanks for the blessings in your life?

If you are like a lot of people, you are wondering why this Law of Attraction thing isn’t quite working for you. Or it’s not working fast enough for you.

When I’m coaching people on how to get the law of attraction to work for them, the first thing I ask them to do is to commit to a 30 day gratitude journal.

And even though people pay me for my services, more than 50% of the people DON’T start a gratitude journal.

When I ask them why they haven’t done it, I get a couple different reasons:

• they don’t have the time
• they did it a couple times and just forgot about it
• it seemed like they were writing the same things all the time and got bored

But I think the truth of the matter is, they think it’s too easy. Don’t underestimate the power of gratitude! It’s a very powerful tool.

And don’t forget to put the things you are manifesting into your gratitude journal. The key to the law of attraction is to ‘be happy now’. So if you have manifested that new car, house, job or mate you’d be really happy. So translate that happiness to your gratitude journal today.

And I’ve got a secret to turbocharging your gratitude journal. I’m preparing a webinar that reveals the secret. So sign up for my free report “How to Use Creativity for Personal Growth” and you’ll get my newsletter. I’ll announce the webinar in my newsletter.

But if you are not already using a gratitude journal, I can’t recommend it enough. It will help you access the law of attraction and start manifesting your heart’s desire.

I Love Me courtesy of Eddi 07

This is a love story… with me. I’m on a journey to really love myself. I mean really love myself. To fall head over heels in love with me.

Like most people I wrestle with not feeling good enough. Not feeling worthy of the wondrous success that is unfolding around me. And I’m tired of accepting those feelings.

So I’m embarking on this quest to discover ways to really love and honor me. And the first way I’ve decided to do this is to finally address my body temple.

I will only put nourishing food in my body. And I’m doing that because I love myself. For those of you who are parents… what did you feed your young toddler as they started eating big people food? Lots of nutritious fruits and vegetables, I bet. And why did you do that? Because you wanted your baby to be healthy and strong. It was a way to show how much you loved your child. And that’s what I’m doing for me.

So I’m not sure if I’m totally in love with myself yet. But by honoring my body temple, I am demonstrating, that I love and honor me. I want to love me. I am a cherished child of Spirit. So by nurturing my body, I am clearly showing myself love. Everyone knows how love grows. I’m planting the seeds so my love for me grows.

And by nourishing my body, I will become fit and strong. Able to handle all the wonderful gifts that are on their way. I will be a lean, mean manifesting machine. Able handle the rigors of extreme success. I really believe that if I am the tuning fork for manifesting all I desire, then I want all of me to be in tip top shape.

And I also believe that by being totally in love with me, it will expand my capacity for loving others. So all you friends and family out there, watch out. More love comin’ your way.

You can’t have too much love in your life so I plan on spreading it around.

If you have discovered ways to really love yourself, please share them in the comments.

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of wrestling with my weight. I’ve wrestled with it since high school and I’m done with it. I’ve come to view it as another excuse I’m telling myself. (and I’m done with excuses, too)

I’m ready to live my highest and best life. I can no longer tell myself that’s what I’m doing. Not while I put unhealthy food into my body.

You know how the universe will keep sending you messages until you get them? (and have you noticed those messages get louder and louder?) Well I got the message.

The first one came from Rose Cole. She is offering a high priestess training. Basically how to step into the grandest version of yourself. And she explained that to achieve your life purpose, you need to address 4 aspects in your life. Your spiritual, your mental, your emotional and your physical.

But the foundation for your highest purpose is built on the physical. If you’re not a lean, mean manifesting machine, your work is going to be much harder. (you can listen to her high priestess recordings here)

The second message I got was from Sean Stephenson. He recently launched a video series at Living at Cause. He talks about eliminating your excuses for why your life isn’t working the way you want. His second video talks about health. You should definitely watch it.

Since my body is the tuning fork for manifesting what I want, I’ve decided I can no longer ignore the fact that it’s not operating at it’s optimum level.

Sure, unhealthy people can live at high levels of consciousness. I just think it would be a whole lot easier if is was lean and strong.

We all know that as you step into your zone of genius (as Gay Hendricks calls it in The Big Leap), the universe starts sending stuff your way at amazing speed. I’ve already noticed the higher gear and want to be ready for hyper drive.

I commit to rejecting my excuses as I transform into my highest and best self. There, I said it.

Who’s with me? Leave me a message in the comments.
