Chronic Dissatisfaction

Often human beings feeeeeeeeeeeel that when x happens they'll be happy. When they loose weight, buy a new home, get married, get a new job, make more money, etc.

Then as they achieve these desires they find they still aren't happy. The suffer from a feeeeeeeeeling of chronic dissatisfaction.

In my experience as a life coach I believe this feeeeeeeeeeeeling comes from them not knowing at a very deep level what they really do want and not understanding who they authentically are and what their core desires are.

Life coaching is a powerful process of self-discovery beyond any self help books or tapes and takes you deep into your subconcious to understand who you are and what brings you joy.

Although we as humans don't like change, life coaching allows us to make the transformations needed to shift your beliefs, programs, stories and patterns so you let in greater happiness.

Life coaching is about finding the real meaning in your life and then living from your core purpose.

So many of us go around each day pretending we know who we are and what we want that we buy the old stories and patterns and programs our patterns gave us and don't allow ourselves to live authentically.

My mission is to serve others so they can connect with their true core self and live from the place of ultimate joy being the beautiful gem they are!

Personal Success Stories

We’re seeing an explosion of interest from the media on Life Coaching. They just love to profile personal success stories of real people. Many of you have told me over the years that if there was ever anything you could do to help spread the word, I should let you know. Magazines are always interested in life coaching related success stories, so if you’d like to tell the world about your Life Coaching experience please email me (at terri@terrilevine.com) with the story of your experience. Tell me how Life Coaching has helped you in ways other self-help forms had failed to. Be sure and provide as much contact information and detail as possible.

If your Life Coaching success story is what the media is looking for, and you are willing to be profiled in a magazine or newspaper and help others in a similar situation discover how life coaching just might be the answer to their prayers too, email me as soon as possible. Once the press is turned on to a story idea they’re anxious to move ahead, so don’t wait if you’d like to share your story with others.

Thanks to so many of you for all the wonderful feedback on your Life Coaching experiences over the years. I hope to hear that many of you are ready, willing and able to share your experiences with others as media interest in this life changing, transformational and effective process of Life Coaching begins to explode!

Getting Over Thanksgiving…

Were you thankful this year? Did you have a list? Yes? No? If you didn't have a list... if things are soooo bad for you that there was not one single thing you felt thankful for, go check out my blog at http://www.comprehensivecoachingu.com/Blog/2006/11/happy-thanksgiving.html

Otherwise, let's assume you were thankful for what you have and you didn't burn the turkey and you got through Thanksgiving this year relatively unscathed and feeling "grateful".

Don't leave it there...build on what you have so you will have even more to be grateful and thankful for next year, unless of course, you have reached what you consider to be the pinnacle of your life and have no desire to change a thing.

If you do have the desire to change something - work on it now. Start now. Keep a journal so that next year, you can see what new things have arrived for you to be thankful for at Thanksgiving. You don't have to only be thankful for things that are personal to you - you can be thankful that where you live is safe... that your family is safe... that your son won his...whatever...competition... that you got your promotion...that nothing in your house broke down and needed expensive repairs the past 12 months... that you got the loan for that new car... that your other child, the naughty one, stayed out of jail... that your Aunt who has been ill, got better... that your neighbor who made life hell has moved and you have a new, friendlier tenant living next door...

Start your journal now so next Thanksgiving you will have no trouble finding many things to be thankful for. Sometimes, so many things happen within the space of 12 months that we simply forget and we just need the reminder!

Happy Thanksgiving

We live in a society where we take things for granted and sometimes we don't realize just how much we do have to be thankful for.

Consider this... The A family go shopping for thanksgiving, loading up with the largest turkey, the finest treats and maybe splash out on new dinnerware. They are accustomed to this lavish lifestyle - it's all they've known. It doesn't occur to them to be thankful for their very fortunate, lavish lifestyle and they take it for granted.

The B family go shopping and can only afford a chicken with some simple vegetables, and somebody is going to bake some home-cooked pies for dessert. The chipped dinner plates they use every day will have to do for them. It's a financial struggle. They don't feel overly thankful because of this struggle and yes, they are envious of the A family.

The A family needs to be very grateful for their lavish lifestyle and if they need a reminder, maybe they can visit the B family! The B family needs to be very grateful because even though it is a struggle for them, there are other families who can't even afford a chicken.

Both families may think, defensively, but we work hard for this - we deserve it. Yes, and so does the poor worker in some far off country, bent doubled in a rice paddy, who works longer hours, in uncomfortable conditions and is lucky to afford rice for his family. If we look hard enough, we will ALWAYS find something to be grateful for – even if it comes down to just being loved in life by one person - our Mom!

Here are some other things to be thankful for:

Having a house to live in - some people have to live out of a car. And if you live in a car, that is also better than having to live outside in the elements with nothing more than a coat or a newspaper to cover you on some hard, cold park bench.

Whether you are rich or poor, there is something for everybody in our stores and supermarkets. We have variety that many in poor countries could not even begin to imagine! We may have to queue up and that is a pain in the neck - but not nearly as annoying as it must be for some Russian women who have to queue for HOURS just to buy bread! And in the snow!

For a job that enables you to pay rent and buy food - there are many unemployed. For the unemployed, give thanks for living in a country where there are welfare payments to assist you. There are countries in the world where there are no welfare payments and the family eats because of the efforts of charitable organizations or they don't eat at all.

Be thankful for your health. Look around and see the many thousands who suffer poor health or some form of disability that makes life extremely challenging for them.

For your children... with all their noise and mess and grey-hair causing behaviours – because there are many couples who cannot have children. There are some countries where you are only allowed to have 1 or 2 children, and there are countries where girl children are killed because sons are perceived as more valuable.

For the farmers who provide the food you ate on Thanksgiving - who work long thankless hours, who suffer the consequences of droughts and fires or floods just to make their living and get you your turkey for thanksgiving!

So, for those of you who celebrated Thanksgiving, I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving, and remembered all the things for which you can be truly thankful.

You WILL Make Money In Your Business

Have you been wondering why your business isn't making you the kind of money you want to make? Have you heard the concept about working "on" your business yet you still work mostly "in" your business?

As a coach I work with my clients to understand exactly what tasks they need to do to work "on" their business and find most people haven't a clue what will really grow and improve their business.

Every business has room for improvement. Even if you are making good or great money, you can work less and make more.

I know this as a successful business owner myself who has helped thousands of others to do the same.

It makes me sad to see promising businesses with excited business owners who are struggling and who can't figure out how to attract clients, make profits and be successful with their business.

I want to help more businesses create more income and profits and I know it can happen fast and actually is easy. Just by learning the easy, inexpensive and correct actions you can turn your business into a money-making machine.

I released the strategies I have used and coached others to use as a product as I realized I could not coach everyone in the world and I needed to share this system with more business owners.

By following what I outline and what I script for you and taking actions that feeeeeeeeeeel good, you'll double, re-doulbe and even re-double over and over and over again the income and profits you make from your business.

You can grab your copy here: http://terrilevine.com/UESforEntrepreneurs.html as well as a free report I created for you: http://terrilevine.com/129daysfreereport.htm.

I want for YOU to explode your business and income in an easy, effortless and joyfilled way!

More Lessons From The Achilles Event

I keep figuring out more and more by the Achilles rupture and how it has impacted my life and work. Yesterday I journaled about the fact that in some way I "fell" from my every day life and this event is now causing me to look deeply at my every day life. Things are changing. I am going inside more and seeing more and more who I am and what I desire at even deeper levels. More of my authentic self emerges each day.

I am fascinated with this process of discovery and how in many ways it is an awakening in my soul. I can feeeeeeeeeeel differences in my thinking and feeeeeeeeeeeelings and an evolution occuring.

Each event in our lives is perfect as it occurs. Although this one is painful and slow and impacts my life and work in so many ways, it is still a gift and I am open to notice and let in more and to discover and uncover more.

More to come!

Please Be Happy Right NOW!

Don't tell yourself that your life will be better when, you are older, graduate college, get married, buy a house, have a baby, retire, etc.

Do it NOW!

Don't wait to be happy, please be happy right NOW!

If not right this minute, then when?? Your life is always going to have stress, chaos and challenges - this is what life is made of. Why not just understand this fact and choose to be happy anyway? Happiness is your birthright and what The Creator intends for you.

Please deeply treaure and honor every second you are on the planet and make it even more special by sharing each moment you can with people that are really special to you - people who you really want to spend time with and remember that time does not wait until you graduate, have a baby, buy a house, or retire!

Please don't wait until you get that new car, buy that new house, have less debt, have kids, kids go to college, you loose weight, you get married, you retire or anything else... please don't wait until you die and leave the planet...

There is no better time than this moment to choose happiness.

As I say in my bestselling book Work Yourself Happy, "happiness is a journey, not a destination".

Work because you enjoy it, love because you don't fear being hurt, and always be YOU!

You are a wonderful and unique human being.

Please be happy right NOW!

Create YOUR Ideal Body

I was interviewed yesterday by a radio station host who read and was following my book Create Your Ideal Body who already lost 16 pounds. She said, "this program is do-able!"

I believe that the book let's you loose weight without dieting, exercise or pills and teaches you to loose weight and learn how to eat again.

When you totally have lost sight of how food is utilized in your life, then this is the perfect way to step "out" of your situation and re-learn how and why to eat like a human being should. For years food was my best friend (and enemy)... I used it to stuff away my feeeeeeeeeeeeeelings. I kept using food to EAT AWAY my emotions. When I learned that food is a fuel to help our bodies stay alive and that it is a privilege to be able to actually enjoy the taste of food, I was able to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

If you are committed in taking care of your body, the Create Your Ideal Body program will work for you.

Get into the swing of things NOW, before you pile on 20 more pounds for the holidays. Find out which foods you really do like best, and develop an eating schedule and you can start healing your body and mind from being overweight with this program.

Here's to happier and healthier and slimmer days!

Your Inner Coach

I train coaches and coach my clients to get in touch with their inner coach. This inner coach is the inside quiet, often subsconsious voice, that is always speaking to you. This inner voice is your authentic self speaking about it's desires and values. Not the "shoulds" and "should nots" that we've been taught and the beliefs we are dragging around.

Get quiet and be still. What is that little voice in your head asking for? What does it want?

Be honest. Allow yourself to get into what your inner coach wants. When you feed the inner coach you are feeding your soul.

A Meditation On Life Coaching

When I was growing up, development was easy. I went from crawling to standing to walking, with a few falls in between and some hurts I am certain. I simply kept trying. I ate what I was served although I often wanted something other than smelly fish and steak that was hard to chew and I developed my ablility to eat and swallow. I was growing bigger and going from baby clothes to toddler clothes to pre-teen clothes and teenage dress up clothes (finally) and it all simply happened. I didn't have to do anything, all was taken care of. Then I became an adult and I had to make choices. I had to decide when to walk, when to run and what to eat and drink. This stage of my development is tougher I have more choices. Actually it is beyond tougher it is at times very difficult. I hired a life coach ten years ago and know I will also have one to help me on this journey. I learned coaching skills to listen better, communicate better, love better, laugh more, know myself better, and balance my work and know my priorities. I know I am growing as a human being and evolving and having more joy and ease in my life because I have a life coach. Life coaching is my coaching manual for my life.

Daily Journal Responding

I use a process with many of my clients that I call Journal Responding. This is where clients record their feeeeeeeeeeeeeeelings that are coming up from their coaching work. This is what I refer to as inner or self-coaching. It allows the clients to surface up their deepest emotions and open up their inner feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelings that are lying at their subconscious level. They report feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeling lighter and more free once they get into using Journal Responding.

In order to grow and evolve and create personal well-being I find this tool highly valuable.

Try keeping a daily log of your inner emotions and feeeeeelings. Your journal can either be written down or recorded.
