"Don't let someone else's opinion of you become your reality." ~ Les Brown
This past weekend about a dozen of our rockin' women of purpose came out to celebrate our third anniversary as a community of women on the journey. It was truly a magical experience. In spite of the fact that the city just got dumped with two feet of snow - give or take an inch or two in some spots - we gathered together to share stories, laugh together, encourage and empower one another and EAT! I was pleasantly surprised at all the delicious delicacies that were placed on our table.
One of the wonderful takeaways from the gathering was about not allowing other people's opinions to influence one's dreams. I thought this was stellar. We work so hard at setting up our boundaries, yet we forget that other people's opinions are one of the greatest boundary invaders. When we allow someone else's opinions to influence our thinking, we might as well turn over our lives to them and not live it. We are in fact living their life, their story, their dream and their drama - which has absolutely nothing to do with us. We have our own story, our own dreams and intentions, and our own opinions of what that all will look like.
When we allow our boundaries to get trampled upon in this way, fear is sure to creep in from around the corner. Why? Because we are not being and doing what is authentic to us. We are living someone else's story. And how scary is that?
Remember my post on Transcending Fear with I AM statements? Well, if you missed it, you can catch it again here. But check the term: I AM! This is about ME; and not about YOU! Keep affirming to yourself your I AM statements, because this reminds you of living in your own authentic story; stay out of other people's drama.
May the light go on with this one. And if it doesn't; check your bulb!

Later this week, I will be launching my brand new program, Transcending Fear Mentoring Program. It will be an online mentoring program designed to move you from a place of fear and struggle to a place of faith and flow.
Think about your dreams and intentions for this new year. How are you doing with them? Have you created wonderful practices and actions to manifest those dreams? Or, are you stuck and can't move forward? This is about the time when we begin to move into the stuck stage of our new year's intentions.
Re-visit your list of intentions again. Re-write them as an "I AM" statement. So, if your intention is to lose some weight. Re-write your intention as, "I AM my ideal weight of xxx pounds."
This has been a powerful technique for me as I am being who I say I want to be; doing what I say I want to do, and having what I say I want to have. All in present tense, positive statements.
Stay tuned for the launch of the Transcending Fear Mentoring Program.
Here's to your success!
Coach Carolyn
