What Does True Success Really Mean and How Do You Achieve it?

flower-596508_1280 Part of my purpose as a transformational coach is to help my clients achieve success in their life. Since success is often about the fulfillment of one’s goals, I generally start by asking my clients what they would like to accomplish in our work together and how I may help them the most.

I get all kinds of answers to these questions, some very specific such as, “I want to get this book or PhD dissertation written”, and others quite broad such as, “I don’t know exactly, but I want to feel happier or not be so anxious anymore.”

If the accomplishment of one’s goals is part of the path to success, it strikes me that it is important that we chose our goals consciously with great awareness and care. I’ve seen clients slave away to complete certain goals that don’t bring them lasting happiness and joy.

The Highest Divine Blueprint for Your Life is Already Written

carina-nebula-632863_1280 One of my favorite things to do on Sunday mornings is to watch Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday series in which she interviews some of the best authors, spiritual teachers and thought leaders of our time. It is always uplifting, inspiring, educational and truly food for your soul. Who doesn’t need more of that right now?

Recently I watched an interview with Marianne Williamson, the accomplished teacher of The Course in Miracles, and was riveted by much of what she had to say. Yet, one of her comments in particular struck me and made a huge impact in how I look at my life as well as the lives of my clients.

What I remember Marianne saying is that, according to The Course In Miracles, “The highest divine blueprint for your life is already written.” She explained that it is our job to remove the blocks in our own consciousness to be able to receive or download this divine blueprint and that we do this by having an open heart. If our heart is not open, we are unable to receive this divine transmission and will not be able to live the best life possible for us.

Are You on the Team? How to Reach out and Find the Help You Need

gull-601890_1280 One of my favorite authors and life coaches is Martha Beck. I completed her 8-month life coach training program in 2007. She’s wise, whip smart, hilariously funny, irreverent and able to discuss woo woo and scientific studies in the same breath.

With three degrees from Harvard she has respectable credentials and is no stranger to thinking way outside the conventional box. I like the way her mind works. I’ve been a fan since her first book and I’ve read every book she’s written since.

In Martha’s latest book, Finding Your Way in a Wild New World: Reclaim Your True Nature to Create the Life You Want, she discusses how we are now living in a world that is changing at a dizzying pace.

Are We Having Fun Yet? How to Turn Pleasure and Fun into a Healing Habit

by Nancy Harris Leave a Comment

dog-622695_1280 I often see weekly themes when I work with my clients. I’ll notice several people talking about the same issues, feeling stuck in the same way or struggling with similar problems.

I’m not sure why this is. Perhaps it has to do with the moon and stars, the morphic field as discussed by Rupert Sheldrake, (you can google it…), or the way in which I am hearing and perceiving things.

In my sessions in general, I often ask people if and how they are having fun in their lives. I consider fun activities an important part of healing for many people as it raises your vibration or energy, balances your neurotransmitters, relieves stress, helps the mind shift out of negative states and is, well…fun!

What You Are Resisting and How You Can Listen More Deeply to Your Inner Voice

by Nancy Harris Leave a Comment

forward-412761_1280 (2) One of my favorite books is The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield.

In this book, Steven discusses how resistance is the primary force that keeps us from living our genius or Divine potential. He describes resistance as a repelling, negative force that keeps us from doing any number of worthwhile goals, pursuits, or positive activities such as starting or maintaining an exercise program, launching a new business, writing a book, finishing a creative project and even getting married or having a baby.

Steven refers to resistance as “the enemy within”. He says, “It is self-generated and self-perpetuated.” Resistance wants to prevent us from doing what our higher nature aspires to do. It will come up with all kinds of reasons, excuses, and distractions to stop us.
