When you think of success you may think it means making a large amount of money, or having the ability to travel to adventurous places whenever you want, or writing your first book. The new word about success is that you get to decide what success means to you. You define the qualities of success on your terms, no one else’s.
In addition, you may think that to reach your goal of success it requires hard work, struggle, sacrifices and “paying your dues.” In truth, reaching success can be quite easy if you decide that this is the path you want to take. Making up your mind to make it easy is a simple first step towards relieving you of the stress and struggle. A second step includes the phrase “How can I make this easy?”
As you work on making your dream come true, ask yourself “How can I make this easy?” Then sit quietly and wait for the answer to come from your deep creative center. When faced with a struggle, ask the question again and see what answer appears.
You are always at choice in your life, career and business. You can decide to make something hard or you can decide to make it easy. It is really that simple. If this concept of success without the struggle has you intrigued, then attend the session More Success With Less Stress presented by Jeanette Eleff, Success Coach and Strategist on Saturday during the Harvest Your Best Self Retreat.
To your big success,

Anthony Robbins says, “The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.” Can You Hear Me Now? is an opportunity for you to improve the quality of your life by improving your communication both with others and with yourself.
Most people, when they think of communication, think of it as something they hear… words that convey a message. Of course “how” we say something is also important, especially to us women. I know it drives my husband crazy when I accuse him of using a certain “tone” in how he says something. He just doesn’t get it sometimes. Body language and gestures are also play their part in communication. It’s what we see. For me this happens when my 15 year old daughter rolls her eyes when I ask her to go clean up her room. Without using any word, she is definitely communicating! 🙂
So it’s easy to see how communication is something we hear and see, but communication is also something we feel. We feel the energy of any message we receive, and whether we are aware of it or not, we are impacted either temporarily or permanently by this energy. As a result, we are affected. If we receive an inspiring message, we may be moved to take action. If the message was negative, we may become deflated or feel the need to retreat. Understanding the energy we are sending out with our messages is key. Imagine how powerful it would be to fully engage your family, group, or organization in its mission and motivate them toward success. Imagine having a clear understanding of your choices when it comes to how you communicate. This is the power of energetic and dynamic communication, and this is what you will have the chance to practice in Can You Hear Me Now?. We hope that if this topic speaks to you that you will join us in this workshop being presented at the Wholistic Woman Fall Retreat. See you soon!

Food Addiction? How do we stop eating when we need to eat?
Have you ever been eating a bag of chips and think “I need to stop” as you reach in to grab another handful? How about when eating out you unbutton your pants so you can get more in?
Excess weight is one of the biggest contributors of acute and chronic disease and premature death. What causes us to keep eating when we know we “should” stop? Certain foods cause us to lose control, and inhibit our ability to stop. Also, the combination of certain ingredients trigger the pleasure centers of our brain to keep us “chowing down” although we fear we could be at risk of exploding if we don’t stop soon :/. These ingredients when combined in such a way overrides the center in the brain that says, “this is not good for me and I want to stop” but instead says, “this is too good to worry about that now, another bite would be good.” Studies have shown this combination of ingredients trigger the same centers of the brain of Cocaine and other addictive drugs. Thus the question….have we made food our next addiction of choice?
Is there anything we can do to break the addiction when we still need to eat? At least with other addictions one can stop cold turkey and eliminate it. What can we do about food? Is there hope? Yes, indeed! Participants of the “Food is Love….or IS it?”session will learn what foods to avoid and what foods to prepare and eat that say “Love” in reality! Learn what foods Harvest your Best Self! See you at the retreat! (https://wholisticwomenliving.com/session-topics/)
