Celebrating and Creating

December 14, 2006 by Debra Russell

Dear Subscriber,

Thanksgiving is past, and the holiday season is in full swing. Chances are your focus is being pulled in many directions. So what does all this celebration and merriment have to do with creating success?

This month we reveal how acknowledging and appreciating today’s accomplishments and wins will lead you to a more prosperous and successful tomorrow.
Joy and Success,

The Coaches of Artist’s EDGE – Debra Russell and Wendy Keilin

Challenge of the Month
Celebrating the Year Past

One of the basic Attraction Principles is that what you focus on is what you create and attract. The challenge is that we have been taught to focus on the problem. What’s missing in your life? How did you fail? What didn’t you get done on the To-Do list? This is what we focus on day in and day out.

But if what we focus on is what we create or attract to us, then by staying in the “what’s missing” frame of mind, you are creating a reality in which those things continue to be missing. You are maintaining and reinforcing a world in which you don’t have what you want.

The trick is to

  • Acknowledge, appreciate, and celebrate what you have in your life – today,
  • And stay in action – today – creating your abundant future

Wendy’s Solutions
Give Yourself the Gift of Celebration

Whatever your persuasion, for most of us this is a season of giving. So I invite you, as the year winds to a close, to give yourself the gift of celebrating yourself and your accomplishments.

Start by scheduling some time just for you. Be generous with yourself. If you’re particularly busy this season, carve out a half-hour of “me time” somewhere. Even a small gift to yourself lets the universe know, and lets you know, that you are worth it. (You are!)

Make yourself comfortable – get a cup of tea, curl up on your favorite couch, or in a hot bath.

Then reflect back over the year. Write down every single positive thing that you can remember – every accomplishment, every triumph over adversity, the fun you had, people you met, lessons learned, gifts given and received. Fill at least a page. Fill three.

The idea is to bathe yourself in good feelings, gratitude, and celebration. If you notice negative thoughts or memories arising, turn them into gifts in your mind – a lesson, a growth opportunity – a blessing in disguise. Or simply release that bad memory, exhale, and let it go. Then return your focus to the gifts.

You’ll find celebration is a gift that continues to give back to you the more you cultivate the habit of it. Once you learn it, you can turn your focus from “missing” to celebration in an instant. Practice celebration as your gift to yourself into the New Year.

Attraction Actions – First 2 steps to every goal

When I work with private clients on a new goal, I always start with these two steps. First, look at where you are now. What is your starting point?

Fully embracing the abundance of your starting point empowers you to move forward with confidence, belief and anticipation. Here are a few possible actions for this step:

  • List your qualities, skills and talents that will help you get this goal.
  • List the resources (internal and external) you have that will help you get this goal.
  • List what is working/not working (past and present) in this area. It is critical to list what’s working first.
  • List the pieces that you already have in place.

All of these actions are focused on acknowledging and appreciating what is true now and how much you have going for you.

Second, Create a Vision. The cool thing about creating a powerful, specific and detailed Vision is that your brain thinks that your Vision is already real.

And so, you can focus on an abundant and successful reality here and now, while you’re working to manifest it. In the “Create Your Vision” Master Class CD, we spend an hour teaching you exactly how to do this. Once you’ve created your vision, use it every day to focus yourself on how wonderful your life is now that you have this goal (notice the present tense).
