How to Predict Your Future – Step 1

If you are like most people, you want to know what your future will bring.

And the future is always changing, so this can be challenging. But nonetheless, we want to know what to expect. So today I am going to tell you how to predict your own future based on a 5 step process I created.  (  I added one more important step since the last post)

Here is Step 1:

The first thing I want to tell you about predicting your future is: if you be that, it will be. So how you are being is predicting your future. For example, if you are being hard on yourself, then life is going to be hard. Because if you be that, it will be in most all areas of your life because everything is connected. So if you are hard on yourself, things will be hard in other areas of your life. You have probably heard that what we see is a reflection of how we are being. That life is a mirror for us. It is and now I also am saying how you are being is also predicting your future.

Now you may not even realize you are being hard on yourself, because it has become the way you be naturally. Only it is not natural to be hard on yourself. It is something you decided to do at some point in your life and now it runs the show subconsciously, and it literally does run the show. Because now most everything in your life is showing up as hard. The exceptions are those things you think will be easy. Which brings me to my next point which is:

What you think and say also predicts your future.

I know you have heard this before. But it bears repeating. And this is true for the things you say out loud as well as what we say to ourselves. So here is a common one. If you say out loud or to yourself , “I can’t have _________ because _________. ” Then that is what you will get.

The most common one you hear is I can’t have this because I can’t afford it. Other things people say are: because it does not exist, because I would have to give up this and that, because of my family, because I am single, because of the economy. etc. etc. You fill in the blanks. What is something you have been thinking you can’t have or you can’t have it right now?

Now notice what is showing up in your life around this.

So if think you can’t have it because . . . then you won’t. And in that moment, you are predicting your future.

Now you may not even realize you are doing this. Sometimes we cover up our doubts and say we believe something will happen. But if the doubts exist subconsciously, it is the same thing. And sometimes we waiver and believe something in one moment and then another thought creeps in or someone says something to trigger that doubt.

There are many people these days saying I can’t have what I want right now because the economy is in the tank. And if you look around for evidence of that, you will see many people who are financially challenged right now and going without this or that. And if you read the newspapers and watch the news, you are likely to get a lot of information that reinforces those fears.

But it is not the way it has to be for you . . .

Have You Ever Been Told “You’re Just Too Sensitive?”

heartinhandsLet’s face it — being sensitive has never been highly accepted in a world that is not so sensitive.  I believe that is going to change. Actually, it is changing.  The energy in the world is shifting and sensitivity is heightened these days – even for those who have not previously considered themselves to be highly sensitive. We are going back to our true nature.

There are lots of terms for what I am talking about such as highly sensitive, empathy and super sensitive. None of them make me feel warm and cozy. And I actually didn’t put myself in this category until the past few years.    Expressing your feelings was not acceptable in my family and it certainly wasn’t the way to succeed in the blue collar printing environment in which I was a Vice President before starting my own business in 1995.

So why should you care if you fall into this group?

In part, it can explain some physical and emotional challenges you may be experiencing as things in our world continue to shift.  But it’s also a positive. It actually puts you ahead of the curve as we move into a world that values six senses and not just five.  If you are a sensitive person, you’ve already been using your sixth sense – your intuition  – as well as your highly receptive nervous system.

But are you using them in a way that really works for you?

That’s what I want to see happen for all of us.  I have seen a variety of statistics on the percentage of people who are highly sensitive. But my guess is that it is higher for those of you who have been drawn to this newsletter.

I am calling this group of people of which I am a member, Sentelligent ™. Because we have a level of intelligence – a uniquely perceptive sensory system – that is heightened and  very smart.  We just have to learn how to nurture, listen to and honor what it is telling us.

From that powerful place we can learn to be happier and more successful in our businesses and lives.

Here are some signs that you may be A Sentelligent Person.  See how many resonate with you.

(You may not resonate with all of them and a statement may not feel true 100% of the time. If a majority of the statements feel true to you, then likelihood is you are A Sentelligent Person!)

    1. You have been told at some point in your life that you were “too sensitive” or scorned or mocked for “over-reacting” to
    things.

    2. You feel emotions deeply.  You may feel as if you “wear your emotions on your sleeves” but not necessarily. Men and those of you who are still in the corporate world may feel things but not show emotions due to cultural training that it is not okay to do so.

    3. You may be aware of the emotions of people around you.

    4. An insult or unkind remark will affect you deeply.

    5. Sights, smells, sounds, touches, changes in temperature and tastes may come through at heightened levels.

    6. You feel deeply for others’ suffering or connections. You may cry at Hallmark commercials or when others cry or when you connect deeply with someone.

    7. May suffer from recurrent depression, anxiety or other psychological disorders.

    8. You may be keenly aware of and affected by beauty in art, music and nature. In this group are the world’s greatest artists and art appreciators.

    9. You may be prone to stimulus overload. That is, you don’t like large crowds or hectic environments. You feel overwhelmed and depleted by too much stimuli.

    10. You were a sensitive child.

    12. You sometimes feel animosity toward  your sensitive nature. Most sensitive people whole-heartedly wish they were tougher and more thick-skinned. They feel like their sensitivity is a weakness. Therefore some sensitive adults have learned how to hide their sensitivity from others.

    13. You may use words like I “sense things”, “feel into” things or are “moved by” things.

    14. You flow with your feelings – laugh out loud or cry when a line in music touches you.

    15. Your sensitivity seems to grow as you grow older or lose weight or from other changes in the body or environment

    16. You may have a good time in social gatherings but then feel tired or not so good the next day ( even if you didn’t drink)

    17. You may “just know” things that other people don’t seem to know.

    18. You may have physical ailments that are not easily explained or healed by traditional or non-traditional medical practitioners. (including but not limited to fatigue)

    19. You may have unexplained mood swings and unable to determine why you suddenly feel sad or angry.

    20. You are a good listener and people tell you their secrets

    21. You feel stress and excitement in heightened ways

    22 You have a deep need for fulfillment and meaning in your life

    23. Feel like you are different than others – don’t fit

    24.  May handle stress well in the moment and then feel badly later

Working Too Hard for Too Little Money?

Nearly one-third of the respondents from the Peaceful Entrepreneur survey said they were working too hard for too little money.workhardformoney

So let’s take a look at what this is about.

There is a tendency for people who are just starting in business to undervalue their services and their worth. As you grow your business, confidence builds and some people raise prices accordingly but some never do or lag behind.

And now on top of that, with the downturn in the economy, many entrepreneurs have assumed that people will not be willing to even pay their regular price.

And certainly there was a period of panic, when some people just stopped buying anything they considered unnecessary.

Therefore, some entrepreneurs decided they better lower their prices. Good idea or bad idea? If you did that, is it working for you?

Whew! I did it for a short time but found it was a bad idea for one-on-one services. That will definitely lead to working too hard for too little money.

What worked better was doing the exact opposite. I created a higher end program that offered more value and more focused and strategic time with me for a premium price. So now I am contributing more value and making more money with fewer clients thereby saving me time and energy. And I got more bites than when I lowered my price.

Surprised? Well the truth is there are always people who have money to spend 1000dollarsand they will spend it when they believe they will get good value. My higher end platinum coaching package is an extremely good value and people get that. And they are getting fabulous results in part, because there is a higher level of commitment on their part and on mine.

Now I know you are probably thinking, ‘I can’t charge more.‘ And ‘what about the people who can’t afford it?‘ I know because I had some of those thoughts initially too.

So here’s a couple of counter arguments to that persistent mind chatter.

1) When you charge more and attract the higher paying clients, you then have money to spend which will boost the general economy.

2) When you start making more with fewer clients, you have more time and creative energy to create groups, products and programs that will also serve those who cannot pay the higher dollar amount. ( i.e. my I’ll Pay You To Be Quiet Contest is free – well actually I am paying you. I couldn’t be doing that if I did not have the increased space in my life. I will also be creating other group programs soon. Group programs are another way to leverage time.)

3) End result is serving more people, making a bigger impact and positively impacting the economy.

Oh, but let me know forget the self-worth issue. Most of us have nagging mind chatter about our worthiness – especially women. I had to clear some issues around that before I was able to comfortably raise my prices. I used some of the tools I teach in my Life Transformation Tools & More Program to do that.

Are you tired of working too hard for too little money? It is in your power to do something about it. What are you willing to do ?
