Joyfull Living – October 2015

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” ~ E.E. Cummings

It does take courage to step out of our comfort zone. Fear of the “unknown” can keep us from trying something new or stop us from taking actions that can move us out of our “rut” or our habitual hurried, stressful lifestyle. The top two excuses I hear are: “I don’t have time” or “I don’t have the money.” Both are a result of poorly-invested time and energy. If you cut back the time spent complaining and worrying about problems, there is always enough time. It’s crazy to think that things are going to change if we don’t to do something about it. As Mark Twain said: “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got!” Getting the quality of life you want all starts by learning to create balance in your everyday life. The fact is, it takes an investment of just a few minutes a day for learning proven techniques and tools to develop supportive habits that become a daily practice that lets you be the gift you are here to be and to create a life you love.

With so much going on in our lives and around us, we often find ourselves spending all our energy managing and juggling it all. Without a strong foundation, sooner or later, everything collapses on top of us and we fall into overwhelm. That is how Carol felt before she started her 12-week journey with me. “ I was feeling very overwhelmed with my life; a perpetual feeling of insufficient time to get it all done” she shared, “and now, after doing the 12 weeks of Foundation 4 your LIFE, my life is feeling balanced and complete thanks to the very simple techniques and teachings. Louise has a unique gift for helping others navigate this journey we call life.”

“We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch.

Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” ― E.E. Cummings

Why a 12-week program? It takes approximately 90 days “for the brain to reset itself and shake off the immediate influence of a drug habit” according to Michael Lemonick in his July 5th, 2007 TIME cover story “How We Get Addicted.” That’s how long it takes to clear out unsupportive habits and establish supportive ones. Here is what Alice, another F4 your LIFE member just emailed me: “The course has been life-altering, enhancing the quality of my existence from now on. You have been inspired to put remarkable energy, knowledge, and spirit into this course. What a gift. Thank you! I feel that I have a framework and the tools for letting-go of the old stories and moving into the nourishing light of now, forgiving and releasing. I’m able to catch myself before sinking into the destructive pit of recall. And breathing into angst has become almost automatic, a blessed relief.

….Because your gift is so acute and powerful, I deeply appreciate your grace and humility in how you share your message and the Truth of your Being….”

If you feel you are ready to step into that better part of your LIFE now, I am honored to share the opportunity of my online program Foundation 4 your LIFE. You can set up a free consultation to discuss whether this program is right for you. The next Portal opening is coming up in November! Discover how to balance love, health, freedom & abundance and clear the obstacles that block your success and courage to be your best self.

Remember to take time to breathe, laugh often, and En-Joy each moment.
