Greetings “Attraction” Readers:
Sedona, AZ -- June, 2007 --The reader who was “itching for a change” in the
May column certainly gave
us a lot to ponder! This month we continue with the how of attracting
who and what you want in life. The previous column focused on people
situations (personally and professionally) and desired outcomes. I hope you had
time to try out the experiential and journaling exercises that were offered.
Sorting out who brings us joy and what makes us feel passion can be a
challenging, and necessary, exercise in order to reach the successes or goals
that you envision for yourself.
Being attractive involves all parts of life. Most importantly, we must
feel beautiful inside, and know that we are worth every ounce of effort that
we expend on our journey. There were times in my life when I sought
counseling to really get this myself. I am a strong believer in
removing any roadblocks that prevent one from stepping fully into their own
power.There are many “laws of attraction.” You can make up your own. These are
five of my favorites: (Thanks to my early coach training with Thomas Leonard,
“The Grandfather of Coaching.”)
Attractive people see perfection in
the present.
Attractive people have a reserve of
everything – finances, love, time, skills, space.
Attractive people have all of their
needs met.
Attractive people add value to
everything they do.
Attractive people help others
succeed.
Attractiveness is offering people exactly what you have instead of
trying to change yourself to give others what you think they want! A key
to marketing myself, whether business or personal, is to help others find out
what I have available right now!STOP this minute and write five or more things that you have available to offer
at this moment.
Another must on this path of attractiveness is becoming incredibly
selfish. “Selfishness” is awkward for us to label, because most of us were
taught to take care of others first. However – in order for us to create and
reach our goals, we need to take extremely good care of ourselves so that we
will have the stamina and spiritual health to move forward with enthusiasm.
Please take quiet time this week to ponder the following thoughts of how
you might attract what and who you want in life. Continue adding your own
inspirations as you brainstorm your personal “attraction plan of action!”1. Create your own advisory board. Make a purposeful list of those
people in your life who support you on all levels. Let them know that you have
chosen them to be on your motivation team. Surround yourself with positive
people.
2. Think of one or more men or women who you don’t know, but
admire. Why are you attracted to them? Call and ask to talk with them for a
few minutes. (Have you read Susan Jeffers book “Feel the Fear and Do It
Anyway”? Keep this phrase in mind as you are trying out new experiences on your
“attraction campaign.”)3. Craft an “extreme self care” program. You might need to start with tiny
steps, and this is perfectly okay. Schedule anything that brings you
pleasure - from weekly bubble baths to regular time off pursuing your passion.
The object is to give to yourself and start creating a reserve of energy.
4. Fill in training and/or education that you feel necessary to reach your next
desired level. This has always created confidence for me, which in turn allowed
me to jump to the next steps with self-assurance.5. Orient your life around your goals. This may take a few months, sometimes
even years. When you are fully committed to being attractive, you will discover
that the successes you desire can be reached by one action at a time. You are
worth it. Start now. As you can see, there are vast dimensions involved in changing one’s directions
in life, even if you’re only looking to give it a healthy tweak.
These
columns on “who, what and how to attract” are simply one set of arenas to
explore.
Attraction is an investment in yourself. Enjoy the process
of becoming attractive! It is a fun venture and has incredibly positive
outcomes, even though we never know exactly what the results might be. Treat
yourself as the most important person in the universe. This life is a
journey and we are never sure where the path will lead, so gift yourself with
whatever you need to live your passion along the way. Sharon Hooper, PCC, is Your Holistic Life Coach and Creator of
