Lesson 19: Change and Acceptance (Part 3)

This post is my thoughts on a lesson from the Beyond Freedom home study course for personal growth and life achievement. This course has been instrumental in transforming my life from stress-full to stress-FREE. Order your own copy today at: http://www.LibertyLeague.com/margieremmers And transform YOUR life from where you are now, to where you want to be.

I've already shared some thoughts on the text of this lesson, now it's time to get down to the exercise.

1. What would you like to put in your past and keep there?

Wow. As I started writing this, something very powerful just came up for me in a way it never has before.

My whole life I have been trying to be perfect. In fact, I have often said that the purpose of my life is to avoid criticism--in every aspect of my life. Criticism absolutely cripples me--at least that's the way it used to be. My mother, in her loving guidance, corrected me in everything I did and said. After all, that's what mother's do--train their children up to be the best that they can be. I loved my mother (still do!), and so I did everything I could do to be perfect in every way. But no matter how hard I tried, she would always find another area where I could improve. I was never good enough. My brother eventually gave up trying to please her, but I never ever stopped trying.

To many, I did seem perfect. Adults loved me--I was a good kid. But kids thought I was a goody two-shoes--they didn't relate to me, and consequently I had few friends. That extended to adulthood, and it pained me deeply to continue to try and try and try to be perfect, and still not be invited to parties, happy hour after work, etc. People loved me at work--I was committed, I got stuff done, I constantly tried to improve. But after work, it was a different story. It's like I couldn't let my hair down, and so they didn't want to be around me. They couldn't relate.

People love people with faults--they can relate to them and don't feel guilty about their own lives when they are around them. I had been trying so hard to correct my faults, because I thought that's what I needed to do to be accepted. Actually, it was the other way around.

So, I guess if I could put one thing in my past and keep it there, it would have to be this need for perfection and this drive to avoid criticism.

I am working on letting my hair down, relaxing, and letting go. After all, my inability to do so has been a major factor in my stress!

Wow. My time is up already, and there are still 5 more parts to this exercise! This is why Beyond Freedom takes around 90 days to complete, even though there are only 29 Lessons. :o)

Daily Gratitude

Research shows that people who keep a daily gratitude list feel better about their lives as a whole and feel more optimistic about the coming week. Compared to control groups, they exercise more frequently and report fewer physical complaints. They also experience more positive emotions, fewer negative emotions, and exhibit more helpful behavior towards friends and neighbors. (Emmons & McCullough, 2003) -- more... What are you grateful for? Here's my list today. Feel free to add yours to the comments!

Thank you so much for Sue! Thank you so much for this community, the support, the encouragement, the people I've met, the life I've been able to create. I am just so blessed and thankful for the powerful decisions I have made in my life. Thank you for John's Halloween costume! It turned out so great. Thank you for Dan, for his love, his support, and his listening ear! He takes such good care of me. Thank you for this beautiful home--for my new furniture, for the remodeling, for recognizing the importance of my environment. Thank you giving me the answer to how to help Lyn with her homework. (More inspiration like that, please!) Thank you for all the amazing, wonderful, fantastic things that are happening in my business--I get it, I get it, I get it!!! :o) Thank you for the fall, the beautiful colors--oh, and thank you for reminding me about John's leaf collection! Thank you for John's 4 days in a row. He is soooo excited. Thank you for this wonderful season and the opportunity to focus on abundance and prosperty. Oh, and thank you for the Pumpkin Party!!!! Thank you for this great country we will in, our freedoms, and the ability to make our voices and opinions heard. Thank you for so many people that have been such a blessing in my life. Thank you thank you thank you. Life Rocks!

Do you get caught on the phone?

This morning I spent 45 minutes on the phone with a friend of mine. We had a great conversation. I love her. I love talking to her. I love spending time with her. But 45 minutes is a huge part of my day! I was counting on those 45 minutes to get important stuff done!!!

So what do you do when things beyond your control take up your time, leave you with less time than you want, and leave you stressed out because you still have so much to do and now you have even less time to do it in?

Reign your brain.

I think that's going to be the title of my next book, because I believe it really is the secret to life and the secret to eliminating stress.

Watch for a future article on some specific techniques for reigning your brain in different situations, but here's what I'm going to do right now: I'm going to write my daily gratitude. And I'm going to be focus on how grateful I am for her, for our friendship, etc.

Try it. You'll like it. :o)

D'ja Ever Have One of Those Days...

D'ja ever have one of those days where you just couldn't warm up? It wasn't even that cold today (around 45°F), but the wind just wouldn't stop blowing. I think my house must be drafty, because I was just so COLD (even though I didn't actually feel any wind).

I have been looking forward to my bubble bath all day. Mmmm...

I used Renew Bath Oil and Body Satin Foaming Bath (no longer available) from Melaleuca--it was delightful!

Lesson 19: Change and Acceptance (Part 2)

This post is my thoughts on a lesson from the Beyond Freedom home study course for personal growth and life achievement. This course has been instrumental in transforming my life from stress-full to stress-FREE. Order your own copy today at: http://www.LibertyLeague.com/margieremmers And transform YOUR life from where you are now, to where you want to be.

These lessons are always so timely, I really should get over being amazed by it.

I just got back from the Bahamas, where I had the opportunity to listen to brain scientist Dr. Joe Dispenza talk about the chemical, neurological processes that happen when we think, when we learn new things, and when we remember. It was absolutely fascinating.

Add to that my understanding from Jill Bolte Taylor about how the brain works, my reading of Dr. Frank Lawlis' The Stress Answer (and seeing him on the Dr. Phil show), and I feel like I could give a lecture! In fact, I'm going to be talking about many of these things in my Talkcast tonight.

Though I will be talking more specifics tonight, what I have learned is that ultimately the answer to true change is to learn how to harness your brain power.

There is so much information swirling around in our heads at any given time that it is hard to sift through it--and usually we settle on thoughts we have had before--whether they are beneficial to us or not. And because we keep thinking the same thoughts, we keep reliving the same things over and over in our lives.

But our minds are much more powerful and we could use them for far greater things. If we focus that brain power on what we WANT (our vision of the future), and we really FEEL what it is like to have it (rather than thinking about how great it would be while at the same time despairing that we don't have it), then our bodies will become accustomed to that feeling, and the entire Universe will conspire to deliver to us what has become so real and vivid in our minds.

As I so recently learned, I must practice what I preach. I intend to do some mental rehearsal (Dr. Joe's preferred term over visualization because it's more specific) every night for the next 27 days. I can wait to see what I create in my life! :o)

P.S. This lesson also includes a powerful 5-step exercise. I'll have to do that tomorrow.

Thank you for my amazing, awesome, wonderful, incredible life! Oh, yeah...and thank you thank you thank you for Carol A. :o)

Too Stressed to Get Out of Bed?

Do you ever lie in bed and just not want to get out? Your mind starts thinking of everything you need to do, you get completely overwhelmed, and the pressure just seems so great that all you want to do is go back to sleep and hide?

Well, guess what? That still happens to me--in fact, it happened to me this morning.

But the difference between the old Margie and the new Margie is that before, everything seemed hopeless. Today, I know exactly what to do about it.

What's my secret? Well, part of it is understanding why exactly I'm stressed out. Once I know that, I can take specific action to addres those things. I'm a big believer in getting to the root and digging it out.

So today's strategy is:

1. Restore my sanctuary. My house is currently a disaster. I have been focussed on other things and have really let it get out of hand. I can get overwhelmed thinking about cleaning the entire house, so instead, I focus on my one-room sanctuary (see my book for more information about this). My sanctuary is my dining room. It's my favorite room in the house. It has the most beautiful view, the colors are soothing, and it has the least amount of furniture and gathers the least amount of clutter. It has gotten messy, though. There are cobwebs in the chandelier, the floor has not been mopped in awhile, and the furniture is dusty. If I focus just on THAT room, and not on everything, I will create a place of peace. In that room, my troubles can melt away. Yes, I will definitely restore my sanctuary today.

2. Take time for my daily target praxis. I love love love Simpleology as a tool for organizing my day. It is a simple, strategic, and effective way to dump everything I feel I need to do out of my brain, sift through it to find out what's really important, and target only those items that will further my goals. So instead of being overwhelmed by 100 things I need to do, at the end of the process I only have a handful. Yes, my target praxis makes a tangible difference in my stress level.

3. Reign my brain. One of the reasons we get so stressed out is our brains kick in and start thinking about all we have to do (in my case) or what all is going on in the world, our families, etc. It is our active imagination that creates the stress hormones that course through our bodies and create the feeling. The feeling then causes us to continue to think about these things, which in turn makes us feel bad, which in turn makes us think about what's stressing us out--it's a viscious cycle. The only way to counteract this is to consciously reign in my thoughts and focus them on good, happy, positive things--like how good I'll feel in my sanctuary, or how grateful I am for my home, my kids, etc., or what it feels like to be happy and stress-free. When I do that, I create new emotions, new chemicals, and a new cycle--one that works in my favor. Join me on Tuesday at 9pm for my weekly Talkcast. I'll be discussing how stress affects us physically and exactly this biochemical reaction.

So, that's it for me. I'm off to take care of this oppressive feeling I have this morning. Why? Because my choice is that stress is NOT an acceptable part of my life.

What's yours?

My Stress Free Day

Well, I didn't get as much done as I had hoped, but it was a great day, and I had a great opportunity to flex my stress-free muscle. Here's the scoop:

I got up at 5:30, which was GREAT. I love getting up early, but can't always manage to do it. This morning my husband was sick and got up super early, so I was already awake when my alarm went off.

I got dressed, mixed an Access shake (super fat burning exercise shake from Melaleuca!), and did my Simpleology. That program is so fantastic at keeping you focused, I'm glad that I am recommitted to doing it.

When I was done, I headed out for my daily 10 mile bike ride--part of my training for Dream for the Stars. Then I came home and took a shower and got the kids off to school.

After that, I did some stretching. I have been very stiff all my life and have made it a goal to become flexible--I want to be able to do the splits by December 31. So I am following Lucas Rockwood's YogaBody flexibility program.

The bike ride and the stretching give me time to meditate and plan my day. It feels really good.

When I was done, I sent a couple urgent emails, being careful not to get sucked into reading others and responding to them. Then I read my daily affirmation, and began my blog entry about the networking event last night. I tweeted it and sent a copy to several friends--including the people I mentioned in the blog.

That all took way longer than I thought it would, so I didn't get anything else done that I planned to do.

From 11-11:30, I joined our daily community call and got a blast of energy from everyone else's enthusiasm and positive spirits. While I listened (decided not to participate today--sometimes I do join in), I cleaned up the kitchen.

After the call, I finished up the blog and planned my meals for the rest of the week.

I generally do that on Tuesday, but I had other stuff going on, so I just wrote out a few meals to last us until next Tuesday and headed to the grocery store.

From there I met a couple girlfriends for our monthly get together. Then I joined another community call--this time it was a lesson from our company co-founder. What did he talk about? Being transparent, authentic, and honest. What timing.

After the call, I had a brief conversation with a woman who had heard me on the Conscious Choices radio show and wanted to learn more about how she could incorporate stress-free living into her life, too.

While I was still on the phone, my kids came home from school, and after we cuddled and snacked, we headed out to buy some Halloween costumes. Woo hoo! They have been planning this for MONTHS--I kept thinking they were going to change their minds, but they didn't! My daughter is going to be a witch, and my son is going to be Mario.

On the way home, we had a great opportunity to make the stress-free choice! As we approached our neighborhood, the traffic was stopped--some kind of accident or something. The police arrived to supposedly direct traffic, but really they were just standing around, and it wasn't clear to me where I was supposed to go. So when I proceeded ahead slowly, I had two different officers yell at me! Sheesh!

The old Margie would have been crushed, would have taken it personally, and would probably have broken down in tears--but the new Margie took it in stride. "They must be having a bad day!," I thought. I was able to keep my composure, keep it in perspective, and just focus on getting out of there. I still pinch myself when things like this happen and I notice such a change in how I used to react to things.

Anyway, my husband had decided to stay home and make dinner, so when we got home it was all ready--yum!

Then he left to go build the set at LTA and the kids and I stayed home and had ice cream and watched Wheel of Fortune (their favorite!).

My goodness, I love my life. What an awesome, stress-free day!

Be the Change - A New Beginning

How could a networking event totally change the way you see the world, how you conduct your business, and how you live your life? Well, I'll tell you.

The event was sponsored by the marketing and PR firm Warschawski. It was held at Luckie's Tavern in Baltimore. The guest speaker was PR and social media expert, Peter Shankman.

It was during the meet and greet when I met Angelique Rewers, owner and president of the communications firm, BonMotComms.

She told me what she does, and I told her what I do, and like most people, as soon as I mentioned the Stress Free Revolution, she said, "Sign me up!"

I laughed and said, "Everyone says that!," and then I confided that while everyone tells me that they WANT to change, rarely does anyone actually do it.

Angelique pondered my comment for a moment and said, "Hmm...well, thinking about what just popped into my own mind, maybe it's because it seems like a 'Holy Grail' of sorts--you know, something that's kind of out there as a dream, but people don't really believe it's possible, so they don't even try." Wow. What insight. I could totally see where she was coming from.

The program began, and we listened to Peter talk about this new world that we live in--a world where anything you say or do can be instantly communicated to millions of people. "Social media," Peter said, "is really just a way to screw up a lot faster and in front of a lot more people."

He talked about how corporations (and people) can no longer live in secret, and how the generation growing up in this environment expects honesty and transparency in everyone--from casual acquaintances to businesses to politicians.

This is kind of a scary notion to us old folks, who are used to being able to talk one thing and walk another, but the generation that follows us is used to it, embraces it, and expects it.

As I drove the hour and half home, I reflected on what I had learned. I thought about Angelique's comment and wondered how I could make this notion of Stress Free Living accessible and believable, and I realized that Peter had given me the answer.

"Be the change you want to see in the world," Gandhi taught us.

The only way for me to show the world that a stress free life is possible is to live it myself and let others in on exactly how I'm doing it. Modern technology provides the means, all I have to do is use it.

That realization was at once frightening and exciting. I am, after all, one of the old folks for whom opening up one's life like that is a scary concept. Writing a book, giving advice on a Talkcast, being a guest on a radio show--all those things allow me to be in the spotlight for a moment and then retreat to my normal life, where I can choose whether or not to follow my own advice.

And yet it's exciting, because revealing my day-to-day life forces me to live up to my own standards and could be THE thing that provides people with real motivation to change. And it is, after all, my real heart's desire to see people say goodbye to stress in droves and wake up to the wonderful, miraculous, joyful, fantastic life that is theirs just for the asking.

So today I start a new chapter in my life. Today I begin letting the world in on exactly what it means to live stress-free. Today I begin demonstrating and recording it. Today it becomes real. And as of today, there will be no excuses left.

Lesson 19: Change and Acceptance (Part 1)

This post is my thoughts on a lesson from the Beyond Freedom home study course for personal growth and life achievement. This course has been instrumental in transforming my life from stress-full to stress-FREE. Order your own copy today at: http://www.LibertyLeague.com/margieremmers And transform YOUR life from where you are now, to where you want to be.

Wow. At what point do you stop being amazed at the law of attraction? This is staggering.

So on my bike ride this morning I was thinking about my mission--my mission to change the lives of hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people and help them see that they do not have to accept their life the way it is...that they can STEP UP and make a change.

I was thinking about the chapter in my book about going to the dentist and how even though we have this ache in our lives we often choose not to do anything about it because the thought of doing something is worse than the thought of living with it.

Then I thought about Les Brown in Rome and his telling us that change is THE hardest thing for anyone to do and there was a study that showed that people would rather die than change.

And it made my heart cry out.

So many people are miserable or only moderately happy! When they can live lives that are joyful and enthusiastic and and bright and passionate, why do they choose to stay small?

Then this morning I opened up my Beyond Freedom to today's lesson: Change and Acceptance.

Wow. I haven't even read it yet and already I am overwhelmed by how synchronous the Universe is.

Change change change! And acceptance. And life and power and enthusiasm and joy and wonder and light. Right on.

This is AWESOME! Thank you for courage and clarity and fire and passion. Thank you for using me.

Stress Free Like Coleen!

Wow. I am so excited about the Stress Free Revolution that is taking place. People are starting to WAKE UP to the fact that they do not have to put up with stress in their lives!

Take Coleen. Coleen is a middle school teacher in Jackson, Mississippi. She joined our Stress Free Revolution just a few days ago and has already started experiencing tremendous changes in her life--and is spreading the word to others about it! Look what she wrote in a letter to some of her fellow teachers:

FREE TO LIVE
COLEEN KNIGHT’S ANSWER TO STRESS
Most of you know that I have been highly stressed out for a while now. My mom is a constant worry and my job is a constant challenge, just like the rest of you. There have been many days that I have gone home with chest pains and a burning stomach.

BUT NOW, THINGS HAVE CHANGED!!!

I MET MARGIE REMMERS. SHE HAS ALREADY TAUGHT ME THAT LIFE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT. I DON’T HAVE TO LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK HOPING THAT I HAVE ENOUGH EVERY MONTH TO MAKE ENDS MEET. I DON’T HAVE TO FEEL LIKE THERE ARE NO ANSWERS AND THAT I WILL SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE STRESSED!

LISTEN TO HER STORY ON WWW.STRESSFREEHOMEBIZ.COM. CALL HER AND TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE. I DID AND I HAVE SINCE STARTED MY OWN BUSINESS WITH THE HOPES OF WORKING OUT OF MY OWN HOME BY THE END OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR!

I was at the end of my rope. I felt like nothing would take me out of the depression I was falling into. I spoke to Margie and realized that I was not alone and that there were thousands of people in my situation. I would always wonder why God didn’t pick me to be one of those people that enjoyed their work AND made money. Then I realized…God helps those who help themselves. I was not helping myself, I was waddling in self pity. So, He and I had a little talk and I asked His guidance and started on this journey. A journey to a happy, healthier and independently wealthier me!

If you would like the opportunity to hear the same life-changing program that I heard, go to Margie’s site and log in. She will call you and explain her story and where this program has taken her. It will be well worth your 15 minutes. She will not pressure you into anything. She will only ask you questions about yourself and then tell you to listen to a recorded phone call. If you feel like the program is for you, she will have you call her back to move to the next step. This is so easy and I loved the fact that there was NO PRESSURE. So what do you have to lose except stress.

REMEMBER TO PUT MY NAME IN THE REFERRED BLOCK ON HER WEB PAGE!!!

Coleen told me she has 100 teachers excited about making changes in their lives, too. Way to go, Coleen!

What would it be like to have this kind of enthusiasm and zest for life? You can have it, too! Just visit http://www.StressFreeHomeBiz.com and join the Stress Free Revolution!
