Let Go and Make Way for the New!

Happy New Year and welcome to the first article of the New Year! At a time when a lot of people are making resolutions and planning for change, it’s important to know that, in order to make way for the new, we may have to let go of thoughts, habits, views, opinions, relationships and so on which no longer serve us. When we do this, it’s amazing how quickly things can change.

To give you an example, this time last year, my corporate clients were cancelling contracts like it had gone out of fashion, all citing the recession as their reason. Sales of my CDs had dropped to a minimum and my diary looked pretty low on 1-2-1 sessions too, so things on the business front looked a little bleak at a time when I thought I would be in great demand. I couldn’t understand what I was doing wrong? Why wasn’t I getting through?

Always being mindful to look for direction, I wondered whether this was a sign that perhaps this wasn’t really what I should be doing with life and that perhaps I should rethink things and do something else which would have been a huge disappointment as I love what I do.

Luckily, a friend of mine introduced me to an intuitive coach in New York where as you know, I spend some of my time. What she said really helped me. She made me realise that I was judging the success of my business purely on a financial basis. When she reminded me of the number of people I touch with my recordings, sessions, newsletters like this one, workshops and so on, I realised the value of the business was not only financial. I only had to look at the many unsolicited testimonials I receive almost every day to see this. And guess what happened almost the minute, I let go of my need to succeed financially? You’ve got it - the bookings and sales went up and have continued to grow ever since.

I’m not telling you this to show off, but I think it’s a good demonstration of what happens when we let go of old beliefs and patterns and make way for something new to happen. The effects can be extraordinary and rapid.

So whilst you’re making your New Year’s resolutions, take a look at what you need to let go of and make way for the new in 2010.

I do hope this has given you some food for thought and please let me know if you have any comments, queries or ideas you’d like to share. As always, your feedback is always welcome and valuable.

Keep well, productive and happy and do let me know if I can help in any way. In the meantime, have a healthy, happy, prosperous and peaceful New Year!

With love and thanks as always
