This one question has the power to change everything …
The holidays bring up all sorts of, well, stuff, don’t they? The loss of a loved one or romantic relationship, the inadequacy we feel if we’re having financial problems, the pain of unresolved conflicts in our families — it’s like a pot that’s simmering all year but now we’re forced to stand at the stove while someone turns the heat up and it boils over.
Often, half the problem during the holidays is we have a general feeling of unease, but we don’t really know what it’s about. This technique is very simple and was the catalyst for my financial shift, but you can apply it to any area of unease in your life.
Here’s what I did: As I looked around my apartment, with my gas shut off and my refrigerator empty, with bill collectors calling 20 times a day, and bankruptcy looming in the darkness, I asked myself, “What is the truth of my life about this situation?” The answer that came up was, “The truth is, I have never been able to take care of myself financially as an adult for extended periods of time.” Yet, I had never really faced this.
It was true; I had been living on the edge (or beyond) since my late ’20s. The moment that I said it out loud, the greatest feeling of relief washed over me. I began to sob, but it wasn’t a bad sob; it was tears of relief seeing things as they were – and not needing me to be something different. I completely made peace with what was – including the possibility of bankruptcy. (As you may know, this never happened, because a huge shift occurred immediately and I attracted over $13,000 into my business in the next 4 weeks.)
Denying the truth of your life or needing yourself to be something else is actually a form of self-hatred. That’s the nuance I really want you to understand. When you deny that your relationships are a mess, or you deny that you are grieving, or you deny that your checking account has $50 in it and you have 10 gifts to buy by tomorrow, you are actually telling yourself, “I hate you, and you’re not good enough. This moment is not okay and neither are you.”
Wow. So ask yourself frequently, “What is the truth of my life in this situation?” Then, make peace with it. Allow it to BE.
When you see your relationships for what they are, when you see people for who they are and don’t need them to be any different to cause you to have a good time, when you see the reality of your finances, you open a portal to something new and to major shifts in an instant.
The holidays are your greatest opportunity for permanent shifts and transcending issues.Why? Because, unlike the rest of the year, when stuff triggers you out of the blue and you have to work hard to get back on track, you KNOW you will be triggered in the next six weeks. You KNOW you may feel inadequate, or feel the pain of your relationships inside, or feel sad, a sense of loss, lonely, or frustrated with people, be overscheduled or pressured to be perfect. That’s why if you’re prepared and ready with the tools you need (the exercise above is just one of them), you can have the most incredible six weeks – filled with authentic happiness, spiritual growth and love. When January 1 comes, you will be excited and ready to create new and fabulous things in your life, because you’ll see that you hold the power over your happiness and prosperity.

By the way, if you didn’t sign up for Jen Blackert’s New Wealth Experience series, last night was T. Harv Eker! This is the most amazing symposium of the year. Tonight is John DeMartini (master at the Law of Polarity) and still to come are Mark Victor Hansen, John Assaraf, Joe Vitale, Marci Shimoff and Lisa Nichols. This symposium is FREE to you. (Sign up today, though, because Harv’s interview is only up 24 hours and you won’t want to miss it.)
Next week, I have the privilege of interview Gay and Katie Hendricks on my radio show. We’re going to talk mostly about relationships, but also, we’re going to discuss the topic, “When the Law of Attraction backfires,” addressing why bad things happen to happy people who seemingly have cleared out their beliefs. Sign up for the RSS feed on my show page. You won’t want to miss this.
PS I have a huge announcement coming in the next 10 days for those in network marketing and direct sales. Stay tuned.
