Overcome Your Emotions and Enlist Synchronicity

Do you have synchronicity in your life? Do you know what synchronicity is? 

“Synchronicity is a concept, first explained by psychiatrist Carl Jung, which holds that events are "meaningful coincidences" if they occur with no causal relationship, yet seem to be meaningfully related.” Wikipedia

For example, the other day I wanted to buy this really nice Juicer, but it was very expensive. I found it online refurbished for a lot less, but I really wanted a new one for that lower price. I gave in and bought the new one. 

I was very happy as I was unpacking it and excited to start juicing my veggies. I could not believe it. It smelled like V-8 juice; it was used, very used! They tried to clean it but... oh my goodness this is crazy! So I stayed in my happy zone and called the store manager, she apologized profusely and offered me an incredible discount on the replaced brand new machine, plus many coupons for future visits that will save me a ton of money!

So without even trying I now ended up with my brand new juicer for the same price I was going to pay for a refurbished one and more coupons to boot! Now that is synchronicity at it’s finest! I did have to return it and go out of my way, but the coupons far surpassed my time and gas. 

These kind of experiences are supposed to be a part of our life everyday. They can be yours too by following these steps:

1 :: Choose in every moment to do something that makes you HAPPY! If you can not do something that makes you happy in the moment do your very best to see the positive in what you are doing, choose to be in a happier frequency.

What you put out comes back, period.

It is that simple, so when you are emanating anger and frustration you will find that on your path with others. If you are happy and try to see the best out of every situation then you will encounter this back to you.

2 :: Meditate! Yes, it is that simple. Take a few minutes everyday to connect with your higher self, source, God or the Universe. The more you can connect the more your perspective will become larger, deepened and more compassionate. This allows you to stay in the HAPPY frequency more of the time!

3 :: Listen to your intuition! It always knows what is best for you. It always knows when you should go for a walk to meet that special person that may just say one sentence that changes your life. It also knows when not to do something. Practice on little things so you can learn the signs and can start making major decisions based on your intuition. 

Follow these three steps and I promise synchronicity will find you! Oh, I almost forgot, as you can see, be careful what you put your emotional energy towards. Be sure that is what you want to find you in your life, because it will. So be sure to release your anger, fear, judgment and resentment before you try to enlist synchronicity into your life.

Success Strategies for Charging Your Worth

SUCCESS STRATEGIES FOR CHARGING YOUR WORTH

Becoming an Empowered Woman

Becoming an Empowered Woman

Magazine: Issue #34

So many women have a difficult time asking for their value in the service they give, especially those in the holistic industry. The secret of receiving your value is not only being able to show others the value you have to offer, but first and foremost YOU valuing yourself! 

You may know that you are worthy and feel what you have is very valuable, but if you are not resonating that out to the world in everything you do, you will NOT receive the value back from others and your clients. 

This comes from complete unconditional value for who you are and what you have to offer. If you even breathe a sigh of “No worries, I’ll make this work for you and adjust my time for your schedule etc..” Your value is lost in that same breath. 

Think about this. If you are not valuing you, your time, and program first, then how do you expect anyone else to? You know who they will value more? Your competitor. Even though they may not have the best program or might not be the best match. If your competitor stands in their leadership role without wavering, not giving anything up to get the acceptance of the deal, then the client will organically feel it is a better value.

Why you ask would they feel it would be a better value just based on that? Well that is the million-dollar question. They are standing in their value, not showing any desperation, not giving any of themselves up to be fed by the client valuing them… they already know they are valuable and do not need validation.

The client feels this validation energetically and they are attracted to this energy, because that is how the Law of Attraction works. Also the Universe responds to you standing in your value, it now knows you are valuing yourself and your goods, so it now delivers that value back to you.

Success Strategies to Receiving your Value:

Strategy 1 :: Work on yourself first. Look at your own life and see if you are receiving the value that you deserve, not just in business, but also in your personal life, friends & family. This is where you will find the truth of what you are resonating to the world.

If you are not feeling that you are receiving your value back, then ask some questions, do some journaling about what is blocking your value from being received.

For example: are you one of those great friends, sisters, mothers etc.. that prides themselves on always being there for everyone, dropping everything when they need you…but maybe when you are in need everyone seems to be too busy?

Strategy 2 :: Are you feeling conflicted on what to charge for your work? If you are everyone will feel this and you will not receive your value. Do some journaling in why you are conflicted. Is it because you feel you do not have enough education or not certified in your area? Well that’s all hooey, most conflictions are stemmed from other peoples opinions. So be sure to ask yourself where this is coming from, you’ll be surprised it’s usually not from you.

Now be sure to become solid in your foundation of what you feel is the correct value of your service without the outside factors and practice, practice, practice delivering so you feel very comfortable and come from a place of certainty and power when delivering.

Strategy 3 :: Coming from your power space, do not waiver when the client makes excuses. Do not give any of yourself, time or value up in this moment. Only ask questions back to the client of what this transformation is worth to them. Make them tell you how valuable your service is in their own words.

Remind them that the value lies in showing the Universe how serious you are about your goal. So when you are willing to take that risk, the bigger the better and the better result. When the Universe sees that you have taken this action it knows you mean business and it delivers!

P.S. These strategies also work with friends and family, be sure to come from your power space when they ask of you and only say yes when your heart is all in and nothing is expected back on your end. When you come from a place of obligation you both become the negative ends of the magnet and the energy exchanged has no charge, if any it is negative…the whole process becomes null and void. This approach was life changing for me, I know personally these strategies will get you on the road to emerging your Empowered Women that is hovering under the surface!

The Secret to Finding the Best Mentor

THE SECRET TO FINDING THE BEST MENTOR
{The Ultimate Success Strategies}

The Secret To Finding The Best Mentor

The Secret To Finding The Best Mentor

If you have read the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill, then you know the importance he places on mentoring. Napoleon’s conclusion was that, if you want to grow beyond where you are presently in any area of your life, mentoring is a must to proceed in a timely fashion. 

I cannot stress enough to you how important mentorship is. Once I made the decision to take action and hire a mentor, my life changed tremendously, as if all-of-a-sudden I was in the flow with the Universe for the first time; we were in sync and synchronicities became a norm in my life…Keep reading if you want the secret, it’s not all about the mentor…  

There are many factors that Napoleon mentions on importance of mentorship, but I want to address the top 3 Success Strategies:

Success Strategy 1| Always Listen to your IGS
IGS stands for Internal Guidance System. Simply put, your gut instinct or your intuition. This needs to become your #1 mentor before any other mentor in your life. Being able to respect your mentor’s teachings, yet being able to discern what is best for you in the end. Using your IGS is imperative to your success and moving forward. Being able to tap into this innate knowledge of your soul is one of the more important strategies you should use in everything you do.

Success Strategy 2| Hire a Mentor that Values Himself or Herself
Remember you are hiring a mentor to emulate their energy, their values, and their genius. If your mentor is not currently valuing himself or herself by asking what they are worth, then how do you expect to ask for what you are worth? If the person that is guiding you has a hard time doing it, then you might want to ask yourself if they are the right mentor for you. 

There are a lot of mentors that are still having a hard time valuing themselves and what they have to offer. This becomes contagious and you may find it hard to value yourself or your work for your mentor will be guiding you from a place of lack. 

When you are unable to see your worth than the world does not see it either. 

Hire someone that has a good sense of value, self love and self-worth. You can always learn other pieces you need from others, but this one is something that can not be learned it has to be cracked open and only a great mentor can guide your inner self-worth out to shine to the world. After that everything starts falling into place.

Success Strategy 3| Making Authenticity your Mantra
There are a lot of mentors out there that are not authentic. They may put on a face that they are at first, until you find out that their whole program was someone else’s, just tweaked to use as their own. 

Do your research on the mentors you want to work with. Start with connecting to your own IGS and see what it tells you- you know your first instinct is usually correct. When you feel that uneasy feeling when someone talks about something… This is your IGS in overdrive screaming run the other way!

Authenticity is key. This will be the key to your own success in life and business and it is key in finding the perfect mentor.

When they are not connecting with you at your level and come off as too perfect, they are inauthentic. They are not confident in what they do, so they can’t be authentic. When a mentor is confident in who they are and what they do there is no need for them to be inauthentic. They simply know that by being their authentic true selves, what needs to be said and created will be.

As you can see, these 3 Success Strategies are not just for hiring a mentor, they are also success strategies to live by on a daily basis. 

I want to leave you with one last thought… You are the best mentor that money can by. You know your needs better than anyone else, no matter their education or experience. Always trust your IGS, but be open to mentorship, for it is a must to take you beyond your comfort zone- and this is where the magic happens!

Here’s to YOU, the best mentor you can find and being open to the magic of what unfolds by working with the right mentor.

3 Success Strategies to Get Over Failure

3 SUCCESS STRATEGIES
TO GET OVER FAILURE

Article by Marinna Rose

Magazine: Issue #28

Have you ever had a dream that you took massive action to attain and it did not happen? This has happened to me more times than I can remember, but the part that I remember most is the Aftermath!

We have a tendency to only be able to wrap our minds around more realistic goals and dreams. What we forget is that Universal Intelligence knows exactly what is for our highest best, and usually this is way beyond what our minds can fathom. 

So when you take massive action towards your goal and it does not happen, know in that moment that the Universe is interfering on purpose. It is really saying to you that you can achieve higher, so don’t settle.

Even though in that moment we cannot imagine something better, or think of a reason for why it did not come to fruition. We feel deflated, depressed; frustrated…to us it’s our goal and so not just settling!

Sometimes we need to simply “Sit tight, trust and allow.” Yes, this is the guidance I was downloaded the other day on my walk. These 3 steps reminded me of all the times I became the Phoenix rising from the ashes in the aftermath of loosing. I always ended up with something bigger and more perfect than my mind could ever conceive. In that process gained strength and inner power that could never be taken away.

Success Strategy  #1 - Sit Tight

Of course we are talking about after you have taken massive action. Sit tight does not mean give up or do nothing. It means don’t over analyze, don’t be deflated, and don’t let frustration get the best of you.

It is imperative that you keep your vibration and frequency as high as you can through this process. It needs to be in the resonance as if you are just about to attain that goal. If not you will start to repel the bigger goal that the Universe had in mind for you in the first place! 

We don’t want you to repel what is meant for you. So remember when you are licking your wounds that the longer you stay here, the longer and further your dream will be to come to you.

Success Strategy #2 - Trust

You must be able to trust the process. Don’t hold onto the goal so tight that you suffocate the life right out of it. Or allow your emotions to get the best of you ruling the situation, holding on for dare life thinking this is your only option or opportunity.

This is your ego speaking to you, telling you this is your last chance. Not true, it could not be farther from the truth. 

You must be in awareness enough to recognize when to walk away. Let’s just say when your health becomes at risk that is a sure sign!

Trust that the Universe has your back at and is supporting you at all times. Trust that you gave it everything you had to get there and that was the very best that you could do.  

In this trust the frustration fades into the past, there is no more need to analyze, you simply fall into the knowing that everything is in perfect divine order for your highest and best life to unfold.

Success Strategy #2 -Allow

Allowing the whole process to flow through you from beginning to end is the key! Allow the frustration to come, but usher it out through your body just as fast as it showed up. Keep it moving. Go for a run, walk anything you can do that releases it. While you are releasing this energy feel yourself replacing it with hopeful excited energy again, trusting that it is just around the corner.

By being in a state of allowing you are not being dormant, you are staying balanced with your emotions and being aware of the next opportunity.

So important to keep your awareness In doing this you will be welcoming the new opportunity allowing it into your life with open arms!

In every loss there is a winner. For everything has it’s ying and yang, negative and positive. You become successful in everything when you master the art of success in the aftermath of loosing.

Now that you have mastered the art of success in the aftermath of loosing, be prepared to take massive action again. This time around you’ll have this priceless life experience, knowledge and inner strength that guides you fearlessly.

Remember, don’t be defeated just “Sit Tight, Trust and Allow.”

3 Tips on Discovering Your Purpose

Discovering Your Purpose

Discovering Your Purpose

3 TIPS ON DISCOVERING YOUR PURPOSE

Article by Marinna Rose

Magazine: Issue #26

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.” - John F. Kennedy

All it takes is a little enquiring within to uncover the truth of your purpose. Liken it to the sculptor chiseling away at the marble, chipping away one piece at a time unveiling the masterpiece within. Your purpose is just like this masterpiece carved from the marble, simply hovering just under the surface waiting to be shown to the world!

The quickest way to unveil your purpose is through the work of introspection. Through this we dive deep into the essence of who you are, first pulling pieces apart, then putting them back together in the exact placement creating your beautiful sculptor of purpose.

I discuss in detail three tips with action steps of how to begin this process of introspection below:

Tip #1- Self Love

When a woman becomes her own best friend life is easier.” - Diane Von Furstenberg

It all begins from you. You already have all you need within your self, every answer, all the love you’ll ever need and more. To discover your life purpose you must be able to start loving yourself by accepting. Accepting who you are, your flaws, your crazy personality…You must be in acceptance of all of you. 

Then from loving yourself you begin to unveil that inner knowing of why you came here. You start to see that there is so much more to being here than just doing the daily grind and keeping a roof over your head.

•    Write down three things that you love about yourself.
•    Write down three things others love about you.
•    Write down three things that you can begin to accept about yourself.

“50

Tip #2-Discover Your Core Values

"Effectiveness without values is a tool without a purpose." - Edward de Bono 

Defining your values give you purpose. When you have not clearly defined your values, you end up making bad decisions and drifting down the wrong paths. 

So many of us base our decisions on outside social influences that we don’t even recognize, instead of tapping into our internal guidance system. Most of us are walking around like zombies actually thinking we are living our lives on purpose when we are just living them all for someone else’s purpose! Before you know it you have no idea how you got here. 

Living other people’s purpose and not knowing your own reason for being here is simply a shame and leaves you feeling empty and hopeless. I want to change that for you by suggesting this tip on living life by your three main Core Values. This will organically allow you to discover your purpose and fill your life with joy!

Ask your self some of these questions, write down as many core values that come up, Then weed out the ones that are least important leaving the three most valuable that become non negotiable with every decision you make!

•    What is most important to you? For example: Health, Freedom, Fun, Stability..
•    What quality do you most admire in a person you think very highly of? For Example: Driven, Innovative, Risky, smart, unique..
•    What quality do you most admire in yourself? For Example: Loving, Caring, Empathetic, excitable, authentic, Intelligent…

Tip #3- Ask Your self these Thought Provoking Questions:

Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it” - Gautama Buddha

•    Why am I here?
•    What is my mission?
•    What gets me really excited when I think about it?
•    What makes me smile?
•    What causes do you passionately believe in?
•    What am I really good at, so good I don’t even have to think about it?
•    What do people come to you for help with?
•    Given your Core Values you came up with, how could you use these resources to serve and help others?

After you have worked on these three tips you should have a solid idea of what Your Purpose is. These are tips to use again and again; you change as you go through life. Always be willing to relook at Your Purpose and be willing to carve your marble sculptor even better as time goes by.

As you grow and become more Self Empowered by Discovering Your Purpose, you organically shift from the deeper knowledge that is gained through your wisdom. You must realign with this new wisdom integrating it into your Purpose. 

Just as so many of us make decisions based on other people’s purposes, you may find yourself locked into your own original discovery of Purpose. Be open to shifting, just like I suggest when setting goals, set them, but always realign, as you get closer.

The same goes for Your Purpose. You must be open to redefining as you grow!

3 Success Strategies to Get Your Power Back & Become Present

3 SUCCESS STRATEGIES TO GET YOUR
POWER BACK & BECOME PRESENT

Get Your Power Back & Become Present

Get Your Power Back & Become Present

Article by Marinna Rose

Magazine: Issue #25

Your Power resides within you always in every moment. We sometimes think it can be found from somewhere else, outside of ourselves. The more we seek, the further away we get from our birth given power. The more present we allow ourselves to be the closer we attune back to our power. I have given 3 very powerful, yet simple strategies for you to take this power back and become present.

Success Strategy #1: Become Consciously Aware

Conscious Awareness is the Key that can unlock the door to long lasting change in your life! The pre-step is awareness that allows you to see and feel your consciousness.

Consciousness is omnipresent, which means it is present everywhere, all the time. You are Consciousness and it is up to you to become aware by being here on earth. To what degree you become aware is up to you! 

Combining Awareness and Consciousness is when you allow yourself to really feel the sensations that resonate throughout your physical body. Follow these suggestions below:

• To become more aware, try turning off the tv, radio, leave all distractions and go out side. Take in the smell of the air, listen to the beautiful tunes that the birds are singing. Maybe even try to see if you can figure out the kind if bird just from it’s tune. Just take it all in and be one with nature.

• Try the Om Meditation. This is when you say Ommm as you exhale during your meditation. You use your natural voice to vibrate throughout your body. As you continue you will feel your whole body begin to vibrate. Then your ears will pop, this is a sign of your frequency being raised! Talk about tuning in and becoming more present!

“Many of our ideas and beliefs about ourselves, and the world are so deeply ingrained that we are unaware that they are beliefs and take them, without question, for the absolute truth.” - Rupert Spira

Success Strategy #2: Acceptance

Being able to understand to your core that where you are is perfectly where you should be in this moment is the key to Acceptance.

Acceptance for me is finding the sweet spot between Pursuing and Allowing. When we are pursuing, hitting the road hard for what we “want” in the future, we are unable to be happy and find peace in the present moment. The present moment is all that exists, so how are we going to create what we “want” in the future if we are not happy and in acceptance now? 

Being in the state of allowing is wonderful and in the rhythm of nature, but you must stay in awareness and take action when the opportunity presents itself. 

The perfect harmony here is the keynote between pursuing and allowing!

To arrive in the frequency of Acceptance follow these suggestions below:

• Write down where you are in your life right now, really think about it and use Conscious Awareness. Now, accept it, in your heart, give yourself the acceptance and unconditional love you deserve.

• Everyday write in your journal one thing that you feel you are in total acceptance of. Everyday you must seek and find one more, even if it is something really small. You will create momentum into full blown acceptance!

“By accepting what is, you become bigger than what is.” - Eckhart Tolle

HF Radio

Success Strategy #3: Practicing gratitude

There is nothing more direct to allow you to become present than being in Gratitude! When you are practicing Gratitude you are able to see the blessings in every situation in life. It is one of the highest frequencies that you can resonate to.

We all have something to be grateful for. Try these suggestions and see how quickly your life changes! 

• What are you grateful for? Write down 3 things that you are grateful for right now.

• Start a gratitude Journal, a place where every evening you write down the things that you have been grateful for or that have made you happy throughout the day. This practice allows you to be mindful of all of the wonderful things the universe is giving you, and manifest even more in your life.

• Now Create 10 affirmations of what you are grateful for that are very specific to you. Remember, they need to feel real in your body and soul or you won’t believe them, and will be mentally and spiritually resisting the very thing you are trying to create! So if you have to start with very simple affirmations, then that is where you start.

“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” - Melody Beattie
