			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A client recently received a thank you gift from a local board for her many years of service, a generous gift certificate to a spa. A very thoughtful gift and one she appreciated but did not want. She simply does not enjoy spas. Instead of being disappointed and resentful, her normal reaction in the past to like events, she saw it as a moment of realization<em>. “People need to know me better and I need to allow that [to happen]. I am going to be more authentic to let people know me and really get to know others.  Yes I am risking exposure to criticism, but the rewards MORE than outweighs that risk of criticism. The joy you miss by not doing this is great.”</em></p>
<p>Can you guess what her resolution is for 2012?</p>
<p>Vulnerability and strength are two sides of one coin and each requires courage. From vulnerability comes strength if approached with an honest open conscious, a clear heart and the resolve to persevere when there are disappointments and when there are successes too. An authentic lasting relationship that has give and take is built from honesty, trust and support. To be honest requires a certain amount of showing your soft underbelly, to test if you and your ideas will be supported. Will you click with this person? Will your ideas resonate? Is there viability here in this notion? In this business or personal relationship?</p>
<p>Trust of course comes over time when you expose your soft underbelly and consistently are not injured. Like tempering steel or hardening off plants you become made of strong stuff when tested with the intention of cultivating something more something sincere and honest. It is also much more likely that no opportunity or skill is wasted or overlooked, underutilized.</p>
<p>These bona fide relationships are strong foundations upon which to build a sustaining business and life. They provide a foundation for us to be brave enough to make the most of rich qualities with which we have been endowed. From this community is fostered and we create possibilities to support the greater good for all parties.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://inmotioncc.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/januarystart.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1794" title="JanuaryStart" src="http://inmotioncc.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/januarystart.jpg?w=450" alt=""   /></a></p>
<p>A new year is a wonderful time to rekindle your fire that has been sputtering or even has gone out after the up and downs of the past few years. Moving from an idea to a reality is possible. <strong>Keep your resolutions by coupling action with attitude.</strong>  When you do you make good decisions and take more powerful actions because you focus on what most important to you. Not allowing those most important things to be swept aside by today’s to do list. Make choices that are consistent with a meaningful life, a “kick tush” career and fostering nurturing relationships. Prioritizing what to do when, and why in that order.</p>
<p>All of these can be easier said than done. I know. Really I know. I have been down that road too. Sometimes I still find myself on it.  <strong>You start out all gung-ho ready to jump into your resolutions and really MAKE THIS THE YEAR when (fill in the blank).  Suddenly it is March and you are not making the progress you hoped for. </strong>Then by August you’ve forgotten about those resolutions, or are feeling bad about not getting them done.</p>
<p>But here is what I have learned looking back (and boy that magic mirror reflecting back answers was not always a treat).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>“Vision without action is a dream.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Action without vision is a nightmare.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">                                      ~Japanese proverb</p>
<p>Paradigm shift. <strong>Make 2012 the year to reconnect to the light inside you and live by your most deeply held truths. Focus your attention and resources on what will get from where you are and where you want to be</strong>.  Craft a structure for your life and your work that keeps you on track, but is not so rigid you can’t (or won’t) adjust as needed. A framework to <strong>make choices that aligns with what is most meaningful to you, your most deeply held dreams, your signature strengths and your most sacred values.</strong> You make good decisions when you are crystal clear about these. You don’t make heated decisions forced by limiting fears.  When you need support you ask for it because . . .</p>
<p>“<em>Maturity is the willingness to accept responsibility for your actions and to cooperate with others to achieve mutually desirable goals. Action, putting your passion into work, requires help from other people</em>.” ~Nancy Anderson</p>
<p><strong>So don’t just make your resolutions, make a plan for your 2012 to be extraordinary and supports your resolutions becoming realities. </strong>Create a plan that is firmly rooted in the reason behind why you do what you do and why your resolutions matter.<strong> </strong>Here are <strong>four questions to plan an extraordinary year.</strong> I use these four questions to plan my year, my answers result in a plan for making the New Year extraordinary.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong><em>What are you longing for in your life?</em></strong> Not what you need to do, but what you are yearning for from the marrow of your bones. When you are clear about the deeper reason behind your intent, the more powerful your actions will be on the practical level.</li>
<li><strong><em>What can you reach for that will meet that longing?</em></strong> Not what is the pie in the sky I can’t possibly ever get there reach. Rather the stretch that if you made, to the best of your abilities would indeed meet this yen of yours.</li>
<li><strong><em>What would need to be true for me to meet that longing?</em></strong> Your answer might encompass any number of things from acquiring new skills or  strengthen existing ones, or  let go of patterns of thinking that no long serve you or make the best use of the resources available to you.</li>
<li><strong><em>What will give you the courage to reach for more?</em></strong> This about standing firm in your intent and the sense of your own value. It is what will help you find your mojo, your chutzpah, so you remain unwavering in even moments of doubt or challenge.</li>
</ol>
<p>Feeling a little stuck in answering these 4 questions? They are big, juicy questions. Try this approach, consider what would make you look back and be able to complete this sentence “<strong>My life was honestly fulfilling because . . . </strong>”</p>
<p>Likely your answer embraces achievements like being a great provider, and the enjoyments to be had along the way, like finally enrolling in that upholstery class. The urgency and pluck to act comes from creating a flexible structure for you life so that both achievement and enjoyment show up in your life.</p>
<p>I want to help you have an extraordinary 2012, and am offering a limited number of<a href="https://my.timedriver.com/5FD9H" target="_blank"> <strong>complementary discovery sessions</strong></a>.  So if you are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ready to stop chasing balance and start finding fulfillment</li>
<li>Ready to get of a rut</li>
<li>Want the courage to claim time for yourself</li>
<li>Longing to get in sync with what calls most deeply from your heart</li>
</ul>
<p>Take me up on the offer for a <a href="https://my.timedriver.com/5FD9H" target="_blank">complementary discovery session</a>.  These twenty sessions are first come first serve.</p>
<p>During the 30-minute session we will do three things. First create a <em>clear vision</em> about what you really want. Then we will <em>explore obstacles</em> that are getting in your way. Finally we will <em>outline the next steps </em>you can take to move forward. These will be scheduled between January 4 and January 25, 2012.  To book you session <a href="https://my.timedriver.com/5FD9H" target="_blank">go here</a> and find the time that&#8217;s best for your schedule.</p>
<p>Make 2012 the year to reconnect to the light inside you and live by your most deeply held truths.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://inmotioncc.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/planning-by-indigo_jones.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1788" title="planning-by-indigo_jones" src="http://inmotioncc.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/planning-by-indigo_jones.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>We develop a commitment to what we spend time on, <strong>the more time invested the deeper the commitment</strong>.  Defining what you really want is crucial. I mean this needs to be crystal clear, in order to set resolutions that are realized.  What would make your life, or your work, or go big both, deeply meaningful to you? If you are not clear about the big picture of what you want, you’ll get bogged down by all that could be, tripped up by details, lose your place or worse decide to toss all your efforts out the window.  There is no single best definition of a meaningful life or meaningful work. <strong>What shows up in yours should be a reflection of what you value most and what calls to you most ardently</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;Everyone should carefully observe </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>which way his heart draws him, </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>and then choose that way </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>with all his strength.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>                                                  ~ Hasidic Saying</em></p>
<p>The more deeply anchored in who you are at your core and what brings the real meaning to your life, the more energy you have to push forward. So what is it you desire to be of lasting impact that has significance to you?  <strong>We all make a significant lasting impact, or can choose to, in the sphere of our influence. </strong>Sometimes we make a lasting impact that was not intended, might as well go for what we intend.</p>
<p>You can put your best work forth and make a lasting impact by using your signature strengths, your unique attributes, and most deeply held values in service of your big picture.  Whether your work is as a solo business owner, in the c-suite, as an employee or at home. <strong>You get the outcomes you want when you take specific actions that build from your strengths, are supported by your attitude and are rooted in the callings of your heart</strong>. Getting to really big outcomes takes moxie. Moxie comes from being clear and unwavering about the callings of your heart.</p>
<h3><strong>Four Questions to Plan An Extraordinary Year</strong></h3>
<p>I use these four questions to plan my year, usually in December because I want to be focused, ready to embrace the possibilities of a New Year on January 1. (Well maybe January 2).  The answers I come up result in a plan for making the New Year extraordinary.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong><em>What am I longing for in my life?</em></strong> Not what you need to do, but what you are yearning for from the marrow of your bones. What is it you would most like to experience or feel in 2012? Your answer is the motivating force for the choices you make, and subsequent outcomes you get.  Your answer points to a course of action whether you want travel to Europe, increase the impact of your business, let go of the mental baggage you have been carrying around or get into the shape of you life.  When you are clear about the deeper reason behind your intent, the more powerful your actions will be on the practical level.</li>
<li><strong><em>What can I reach for that will meet that longing?</em></strong> Not what is the pie in the sky I can’t possibly ever get there reach. Rather the stretch that if you made, to the best of your abilities would indeed meet this yen of yours. Is it to be the best provider possible for your family, customers or employees? Maybe it is to step into a new role professionally? Could it be to preserve time for your own creative work?</li>
<li><strong><em>What would need to be true for me to meet that longing?</em></strong> Your answer might encompass any number of things. You might need to acquire new skills, or strengthen existing ones. You might need to let go of patterns of thinking that no long serve you well. You might just find that you have everything in place, but need to make use of the resources available to you. Maybe you need to stop being scared of you.</li>
<li><strong><em>What will give me the courage to reach for more?</em></strong> This is not about bragging or smugness. It is about standing firm in your intent and the sense of your own value. It is what will help you find your mojo, your chutzpah, so you remain unwavering in even moments of doubt or challenge. Maybe you are tired of being afraid of what people might thing of the whole, real you?  Maybe it is just the time to start now untangling the knots in your life.</li>
</ol>
<p>This year I want to help you have an extraordinary year, so I am offering a limited number of <strong>complementary “<a title="My Extraordinary Year Discovery Session" href="https://my.timedriver.com/5FD9H" target="_blank">My Extraordinary Year</a>” discovery sessions</strong>.  If you are:</p>

<li>Ready to get of a rut</li>
<li>Want the courage to claim time for yourself</li>
<li>Longing to get in sync with what calls most deeply from your heart</li>
</ul>

		<description><![CDATA[The grip of our fears can be strong. Time to stop being blocked by fears.  It is time to rekindle your hope, your mojo, especially when you are in the middle of chaos. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=inmotioncc.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6840093&amp;post=1766&amp;subd=inmotioncc&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The grip of our fears can be strong.  Napoleon Hill named six basic fears: fear of poverty, fear of criticism, fear of old age, fear of dying, fear of illness and fear of losing love. They need to be faced head on in order to release the grip they have on you.</p>
<p><strong>Accept yourself on faith, that you are enough, capable and deserving</strong>. You can address your fears head on. <strong>You will stop avoid doing the things that will give the most back.  You will not get stuck in “I can’t” or “as soon as” states.</strong>  You can stop dulling yourself with too much ease, or letting yourself off the hook by making excuses. If you are prone to working three times as hard as everyone else to prove yourself, you’ll stop. If you fill your life with symbols of success that leave you still feeling hollow, you lose that need.  Why is this important?  Trying to live only one side of the coin of life, too much achievement or too much enjoyment does not work.  You need both achievement and enjoyment to be truly successful.</p>
<p><strong>The impulse to protect ourselves from pain sets up arbitrary boundaries.</strong> Limiting thoughts and beliefs creep up and become habitual with our fears. To complicate matters we’ll believe those limitations as gospel truth even when presented with overwhelming evidence that shatters the illusion of limitations. We stay small and like the Cowardly Lion forget we have heart. We have courage, which is acting in the face of the unknown.</p>
<p>This keeps you from living and working in alignment with your core spirit. Your signature strengths, your natural assets and your most sacredly held values can be at the worst squandered and at the least underused.</p>
<p><strong>Go roar today.</strong></p>
<p><strong>It is time to rekindle your hope, your mojo, especially when you are in the middle of chaos.</strong> Time to stop being blocked by fears. Fears like someone will take all your secrets. Fear of not being capable, or worthy. Not being able to pay the bills. Of growing old or infirm.  Fear of criticism.  That you will not know all of the answers. Criticism is often a projection of what others think of themselves. Your bravery to act in the face of your fears stirs up failure in others.</p>
<p>Once you name your basic fear you can claim both your passion and your power to act.  Better yet, you feel compassion for others’ anger, as well as for yourself. You are less critical of yourself and others. You clearly see the difference between healthy fear that warns of real dangers and fears that limit you with artificial boundaries. You ask for what you need, do what needs to be done and get to where you want to be. You forgive yourself and others.</p>
<p>A truly passionate, fulfilled deeply satisfied hopeful person feels remorse and sorrow for her transgressions. She is unafraid to confront them and then forgive. When you forgive, you are the greatest beneficiary, you are free to move into the future.  Emotional pain may linger but eventually you’ll feel all you need to feel (All cried out) about the past. Because you accept it for what it was and choose to move forward. If not you remain stuck, unable to commit to what you want versus what you are stuck with and don’t want.</p>
<p>Once you name that deep dark fear it loosens it’s grip on your mind. You use both sides of your mind to weigh matters and make decisions. Mindfully cultivating both the right side (creative, innovating, non-linear, feeling) and left side (practical, linear, analytic) of your brain opens up your ability to <strong>quickly act on your hunches and focus on practical possibilities. Your decisions become easier to make, even the difficult ones. Your actions are more powerful on a  practical level.</strong> But to get the most from you right side of the brain, which for most of us, does not get as much use as the left side, you have to experiment with it without judging your feelings or ideas. <strong>Both sides of your brain are needed to make wise decisions.</strong></p>
<p>The right side of your brain is the source of your dreams, inspirations and insights. The left side is the process center for these and can either accept or reject them.  When you focus on what interests you then your mind and your feelings work best together &#8211; there is a real synergy. <strong>Really what could be more wonderful than making the most of your divinely given attributes, your signature strengths as well as what calls some strongly from your heart?</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What are you longing for in your life?</strong> Not what you need to do, but what you are longing for from the marrow of your bones. Know that and you know the reason behind why you do what you do.  Know this and you can make the best use of your time money and resources.  The more clear you are about the deeper reason why you do what you do, the more powerful your actions will be on the practical level.</p>
<p>Women and men craft lives that are wholly fulfilling because what is most import to them, those callings of the heart that other people just don’t seem to get around to, are front and center. They dwell in hope and mine for possibilities. These women and men are amazing ordinary people living extra ordinary lives, because of the choices they make.  They aim for and settle for nothing less than a fulfilling flourishing life.</p>
<p><strong>The point is to keep fulfilling, keep attending to your priorities what calls most strongly from your soul, each day.</strong>  Pay attention to the re-occurring themes in your life. Those things you have always been good at and interested in.  What is the world asking me to do? Maybe you have just been asked to step into a new role that stretches you. It’s exciting and a little scary too. Ask yourself, what would it take for me to make that calling a truth? What resources, strengths supports can I bring to bear? What  do I need to let go of and what will that take? What can I gain from this shift</p>
<p><strong> The callings of your heart are the REAL material of your life.</strong> Not what is on your schedule this week, in your job description, the roles you have been pushed into, or even what other well-intended people wish for you. Following the path of what you know is right in the marrow of your bones, even when powerful outside forces suggest or demand otherwise takes moxie. Do it anyway. In the end you are responsible for the actions you take and elect not to take, even when there are powerful outside forces.</p>
<p>My great joy in my work is guiding people to do this in their own lives.  Helping people with busy complex lives to connect to reconnect to the light inside them and have the nerve to live and work by their most deeply held truths. They take actions they otherwise would not, that make the most of their time, especially in chaotic challenging circumstances. They embrace their signature strengths and accept all parts of their beings.  <strong>The reward is this: careers they love and sustaining, rewarding relationships. The callings of their hearts show up, not just their to do lists, each and every day. So too can yours.</strong></p>
<p><em>“You do not sing because you are happy, you are happy because you sing.</em> “- William James</p>
<p>When you act as is if something will happen it will because experience is based on how you think and what you do in each moment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many times have you said it?</p>
<p>“Today I am supposed to be three places at once.” “There is NO time for me.” ““There is too much to do.” <strong>“I need a wife.”</strong> You are not alone. In fact you’d have so much company that if you invited everyone over for cookies or cocktails (whatever floats your boat this holiday season) you’d need room for 89% of Americans.</p>
<p>I get it. I have been there too.  <strong>You might feel you can’t say no, delegate, or let something go</strong>. That same driving entrepreneurial, creative spirit that got you where you are as busy person with executive level responsibilities (at home, at work or at both) can get in the way. It prevents you from stopping.  Did I say stop?</p>
<p>Yep, I sure did. Here is why. All the push-pull action can throw you off-balance. It drains your energy. It can lead you astray from what calls to you most, from way deep down in your bones. <strong>Maybe you feel resentful, unfulfilled or the specter of hopelessness is looming?</strong></p>
<p>So you aim for balance. You work hard for balance, putting your phenomenal abilities towards achieving it. So why can’t you get balanced? Or stay that way once you feel like you get a hold of a schedule that works?</p>
<p>Simple, you are not a scale. Balance works wonderfully if you are a scale. <strong>You are a vibrant, dynamic person, with executive level responsibilities and an entrepreneurial, creative spirit, who is feeling squished, pressed or constrained.</strong>  To date I have yet to meet the person who can spend the precise same number of hours and resources on family, at work, as well as on herself. That scenario would be the equivalent of balance. It is not realistic or practical.</p>
<p><strong>Most people pursue one of two solutions to this dilemma.</strong></p>
<p>1.<strong>Focus exclusively on one part of your life, at the expense of all other parts</strong>.  This may not be the best option.  Frankly it is impossible to completely avoid some areas of your life, they all show up, for better or worse.  Plus this route is likely to increase fear and anxiety precisely because you are not attending to some things you really need too and they sneak up on you at inopportune times.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Try to live a meaningful life while trying to do everything and control all of your thoughts and feelings</strong>.  Unfortunately this too is not practical or realistic.  We, all of us, would rather not feel the pain of the past that choices have caused. So we try to control everything we do. We tie up all of our energy trying so hard. We don’t relax into ourselves. We forget to be spontaneous and just enjoy the moment. We keep all the negative thoughts away.  Those will not get us anywhere right?  Your life becomes narrow, very narrow. The breadth of life is not let in- <span style="text-decoration:underline;">no way</span>, because that means pain might seep in along with joy.</p>
<p>This pain serves as a reminder of what will happen if we make the same choice again. That’s okay. Adversity brings rewards in growth and understanding that are exponential and lasting. You are not doomed to repeating past mistakes.</p>
<p>There is a <strong>third solution</strong> to this dilemma. <strong>Be willing to experience the thoughts and feelings that come up along the way.</strong>  All of them. Even the painful ones you’d rather skip.  Even the joyful ones you are not sure you deserve. <strong>Change your focus from controlling thoughts and feelings to controlling what you do</strong>. Do this and your life is a flourishing expression of fulfillment and of profound satisfaction as a whole. You&#8217;ll gripe a whole lot less and enjoy your work, your family, and your life a whole lot more.</p>

<p>The holiday season is full swing now, the office parties are being booked, the holiday cards written and the lights are strung. <strong>Feeling more burnt out than last year’s mini-lights?</strong>  Balancing your personal needs and professional responsibilities all while meeting family demands challenges the most focused, calm and organized person. For most people the holidays includes too much time fighting traffic, spending way too much on our credit cards, entertaining relatives and clients and pretending to be thrilled when we receive yet another “unfortunate holiday sweater”.  For those who do not ordinarily feel stressed under the pressure of events or deadlines, the holidays can still play havoc with our lives.  Good cheer can quickly turn into too much do and feel more like a time of obligation than a time of celebration. So what can we do? <strong>The good news is you don&#8217;t have to let stress or outside pressures ruin your holidays.</strong> Plan for stress just like you plan ahead for any calamity you want to avoid.</p>
<p>Try to pinpoint what you are anxious about, what gets under your skin. Are you feeling stressed because you&#8217;re not going to be able to fulfill your children&#8217;s gift requests? Are you chaffing over the weight gain that seems to be a part of the season? Are you and your spouse wrangling over holiday expenses? Are you feeling left out because your friends are enjoying the season and you&#8217;re not?  Are you responding to invitations from a place of joy or from duty?  Are you wondering how to keep your boundaries and mind intact, when you cannot avoid someone who pushes your buttons?</p>
<p>Use these 12 tips to make a plan stop stressing (or griping about) the holidays and start enjoying them. These tied and true tips for will help keep your spirits up and your blood pressure down amid all the hullaballoo and stress.</p>
<ol>
<li> <strong>Magical realism, use it wisely</strong>. Carefully examine your thoughts and expectations for the holiday season. Try not to drive yourself crazy planning the “perfect party “ or finding “the perfect gift”. There is no perfect holiday, but there are magical memories and magical moment yet to be shared.   Those lovely fantasies that play out in, books the movies, and on TV are just that fantasies. Go ahead and make your holiday as beautiful as you want, but remember at the core of each of those fantasies is a theme of sharing, fellowship and connection that transcends any decorating triumph.</li>
<li> <strong>Be gentle with yourself and others</strong>. There is no perfection in when family dynamics are involved.  Families have many configurations these days and it can be confusing. For separated families, the question is” Which parent or grandparents will we be with for Christmas, for New Years?” Another common issue is when a gathering becomes an arena for sibling rivalry, along with a desire for long-standing recognition and approval. And if you find that you cannot resist trying to change the attitude and behavior of the parent (sibling or child) that &#8220;makes you crazy,&#8221; patterns which have resisted influence attempts for decades&#8230;you might just want to leave. Family is complicated, and messy and wonderful. The holidays’ heighten each of these things. The best strategy is often to be as realistic and compassionate with yourself and others.</li>
<li> <strong>Say No</strong>. Prioritize the social, business and other events on your calendar. There is no hard and fast rule that all the celebrating and well wishing must be done before Dec. 31. You can bring over into the New Year if you wish. My husband and I have our personal Christmas celebration at the New Year, after all the traveling to visit family is done, the cookies made, and the New year’s ball drops we save a little of the magic of the season for us.</li>
<li> <strong>Gratitude and giving back.</strong> Doing something for someone else, like collecting coats for people in need, volunteering your time and talents at a nursing facility can help keep things in perspective. That can be just thing when the holidays start to rub you the wrong way and heck might just set the tone for how you operate in the year to come.</li>
<li> <strong>Take a time out</strong>. If your buttons are pushed, step away, firmly, politely. You can say something along the lines of: &#8220;I am not able to continue this conversation right now, so I am going to excuse myself.&#8221; If you have never done this before, it becomes easier after the first time.</li>
<li> <strong>Hydrate, and not just with adult beverages.</strong>  A stiff glass of eggnog can be a good way to toast the holiday, but don&#8217;t go overboard. Too much alcohol will only add to your stress.  Plus, the change in weather and the drier indoor air impact hydration so to does the amount of sugar we eat.  Dehydration can make you cranky and frankly ill. So drink your fill of water each and every. Try adding one more glass to your normal intake.</li>
<li> <strong>Timing.</strong> Decide ahead of time how long you will spend at an event. It is much easier to maintain boundaries after you have set them.</li>
<li> <strong>Be impeccable with your word</strong>, meaning take the time to think before your speak. Taken from Don Miguel Ruiz&#8217;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Four-Agreements-Practical-Personal-Freedom/dp/1878424505/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1291777166&amp;sr=8-1">The Four Agreements</a>, this can be a real lifesaver. Speak with integrity.  Will you regret what you say later? Use the power of your words in the direction of affections, truth and respect.</li>
<li> <strong>Simplify</strong>. Easier said than done, I know, but try. Cut down on the number of gifts exchanged and instead try to create some experiences and memories. When it comes to kids and families this can be a bit challenging, but one of best gifts my sister and her family received was a &#8220;game night&#8221;: a board game and two types of popcorn.</li>
<li> <strong>Quality over quantity</strong>. The delights of the holiday food are tempting. The cakes! The cookies! The Hot Toddies! Deciding to enjoy the bounty of the season is fine, you can also decide ahead of time how much to indulge and stick too it, making the indulgence even more delicious.</li>
<li> <strong>Remember you are only responsible for yourself, your actions and reactions</strong>. You are not responsible someone else&#8217;s actions or reactions.</li>
<li> <strong>Frolic and play.</strong> Exercise is a great stress reliever.  Instead of watching Elf or It’s a Wonderful Life, for the 57<sup>th</sup> time, grab your kids, favorite cousins, or neighbors and go for a brisk walk. Walking will burn off calories and it is good for your heart. And heart is what this season is about at its core.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Self-acceptance begins with a clear understanding of what it takes for you to feel good about you. You must have a genuine appreciation of your individuality in order to be successful and live meaningfully.</p>
<p>Comparing yourself to someone can be useful if you ask, how can this serve me? A comparison cannot reflect all of your strengths or the uniqueness of your personality. It can have the ability to limit your choices and development or could serve as an inspiration.</p>
<p>You must also acknowledge resentments, injuries or anger that keeps you from living in the present. Make amends with people you hurt.  Forgive the past transgressions of others, you don not have to approve of them to forgive them. Then move forward, letting go of the past.</p>
<p>To lead an extraordinary life requires you know in real terms what is happiness or fulfillment for you. Not someone else, you. Define what you mean by happiness/fulfillment, including spiritual and emotional rewards as well as material rewards. Make a list of people you are happy. Can you see a common thread? Co they accept themselves as they are? Do the do what they love? Are they excited by what they do?</p>
<p>Do you believe you have the power to lead an extraordinary life? Power is the ability to take action.</p>
<p>When you are honest and act in alignment with the callings of your heart, your signature strengths and values your life becomes extraordinary.</p>
<p>Look at your life. Discover what action you need to take. Then take it. You will feel powerful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://inmotioncc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/key_to_acceptance_copy.png"><img class="aligncenter" title="key_to_acceptance" src="http://inmotioncc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/key_to_acceptance_copy.png" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></a></p>
<p>Acceptance creates possibilities because you do not waste your time and energy on what you cannot impact. Effectively, instead of continuing to play tug-of-war, with a problem, negative personality or self sabotaging thoughts, you simply drop the rope.</p>
<p>Yes, just let go of the rope.</p>
<p>Now you have two hands free to put to work more usefully say on what matters to you most. Instead of looking towards or into the gaping pit of doom you can look elsewhere, to the things that are important but urgent, those things that have the greatest return on investment if you would spend some focused time on them.</p>
<p>Your mental and emotional reserves are not being siphoned off, rather you can restore them to full levels. Now you can resist the distractions that clutter up your day, mind and desk. You can ignore the siren’s call of “as soon as”. You can stop fretting about the past and worrying about the future. You live in the present.</p>
<p>To make the most of the power and possibilities of acceptance you must know what matters to you most.</p>
<ul>
<li>So what is so precious to you that it stirs up an intense emotion?</li>
<li>What is underneath that emotion, a basic need such as security, love, recognition, status or value?</li>
<li>How important is it for you to let go of the rope and turn towards a more compelling possibility?</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://inmotioncc.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/hiding-bearcub.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1737" title="hiding bearcub" src="http://inmotioncc.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/hiding-bearcub.jpg?w=220&#038;h=300" alt="" width="220" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Acceptance is not only about the present. It is also about the past. We all play the roles we assume early in life. Some are healthy and give us focus, like the person who dreams of becoming a dancer and then does what it takes in a life-nurturing way to realize the dream. Some roles are not so healthy like deciding early on you “don’t want to work that hard” and therefore default to playing the victim when life becomes difficult.</p>
<p>Deciding to act a different way, to take on a new healthy role is a product of acceptance. Taking the easy way out is a tough habit to break, especially because evasiveness sometimes works. It is a habit that begins in a childhood as a way to undermine authority and avoid responsibility for our actions. Maturity and acceptance is marked by honesty and taking responsibility.  You could argue the purpose of authority is to outgrow the need for it.</p>
<p>Being a chameleon works in the short-term but eventually the truth always comes out. It is true that we become vulnerable to criticism and rejection when we are honest. It is also true that the more we become attuned to our instincts and know what to say when, to whom and how.  Self-acceptance and flexibility of mind accelerates your growth and understanding. Holding on to the past because we think it is the only way to live means you will miss golden opportunities.</p>
<p>Ask yourself what is my motive for avoiding this?</p>
<p>Am I am holding on to the past? Is this useful?</p>
<p>Am I protecting myself from real danger or from the possible pain of growth?</p>
