Take Action to Inspire a Change within

Do you desire to be the best you can be while living a long life full of  good health, well being, joy and  abundant energy? Well I know I do and it all starts with you and having the desire to create change in your life.  Taking the first step is always a challenge, however if you put you your mind, heart, then infuse commitment and dedication you can create a change you desire. The wonderful world of personal development is accessible to you at any time   and it is to your   advantage of what is available as you invest in your personal growth. Such   a shift came to me when   a  women asked these words that I will never forget, ‘Why are you so negative’? This was the turning point for me to realize it was time to be committed to growing beyond the negative & living a healthier lifestyle. As I say on Twitter (@optiongirl) “Kindness is a rare gift of the heart: Believe in yourself, for you are important and you matter!  Never give up on your dreams, persevere, and live life to the fullest and be the best you can be because if I can do it – YOU can too!” These words stay within my mind and heart. I keep them close because they are a great reminder that there is hope even though we are all a work in progress.

Shifting your energy, having a positive attitude is a choice that you can make.  When you do, there are people in this world who genuinely care about others and their passion shines through with the aspiration to make a difference in people’s lives. With your inner strength, be ready to make a commitment to yourself, personal growth can be attained.  You must remember that it’s  a process where patience is necessary and must be practiced if you are to see growth. You don’t have to this on your own either. Be sure to reach out to find a circle of influence that you can trust, feel comfortable within and where you can inspire others. Someone can appear in your life unexpectedly  with answers when you least expect them to arrive. This was my experience while on my journey of  self discovery and physical well being. I had been working with coaches individually, however a new opportunity became available through group coaching where I found a coach who believes in inspired action and success. This was the answer that brought all of my previous work together. It was amazing how the insights really came into focus from this one experience. I realize now that I had been working my way toward the door and then suddenly found the answers when the door was flung open. Ready or not!

How all of this came about was through my favorite social network, Twitter to where I so happened upon a link that would prove to be life changing. I signed up for a  teleclass called “Be The Inspiration” by Life Coach and Author, Sheri Kaye Hoff.  I have also participated in her Success Club with some awesome people as part of the group coaching call. We’ve had discussions, breakthroughs and revelations in a manner which supports us always celebrating our successes in an upbeat matter and has served as a great reminder to remain joyful through the challenges of what life brings.  What I enjoyed most was experiencing how Sheri shares her knowledge straight from her heart. You can feel it in every word. Her talents within Organization Management, professor, life coach, writer and speaker have really shined through as we’ve worked through her program. It has been an enlightening experience that has kept me grounded.  Learning and growing is empowering, sharing and caring about others, inspiring people to believe that they should never to give up gives me great pleasure. Little did I know at the time that this experience would amp up my energy, pull together areas that I have been studying, experiencing and inspire me to be more courageous, act bravely and be more daring. Now I’m a woman on FIRE!

Those of you who know me know how I believe everyone should have a coach. One on one coaching is extremely useful for focus, clarity, develop action plans and keep you on track to follow them as you are held accountable. Group coaching is different but can be very effective. I just completed the 3 month course “Be the inspiration” Sheri uses an acronym to teach her expertise to create a change in your life to be the inspiration and amp up your energy level. Within the group you get to speak up, express your thoughts as well as ask any questions you might have on the subject matter. Within the first 10 minutes you will feel centered, a meditation exercise and you will know exactly what material will be covered. You meet new people which alone are a great experience.  Sheri will cover specific examples, will be shared,  when Sheri speaks you are able to take notes if you care to and you will receive a handout to enhance what has been discussed.  As you are not in school there is no pressure to do them.  When completed you may send it to Sheri by E mail and she will comment and give you suggestions.

As I have learned from my coaching experiences, having accountability is very beneficial. You have to be ready and willing to do the work if you desire to get something out of the course.  If you are unavailable at the time class is held (if you are away on vacation or if you can’t make it you will be also able to listen to the calls as they are recorded, and will be sent to you for you to download at your convenience.  Whether you are a person who learns by visuals or audio, this class can be for you.

One of the greatest take-a-ways from this experience is that I’ve come to realize that if you find generous honest people to be part of your life you must treasure the  moment with sincere gratitude and that you must live life with inspiration that you share with others.  It can seem difficult to keep your dreams alive and to dream big. But now I can honestly say that I fully understand that I can do anything I put my energy, focus and time into. Then you sprinkle in the desire to achieve with pure perseverance and you found the perfect recipe where ALL things are possible.

Being the inspiration, inspiring someone else, shifting your energy in a positive way is an experience that can uplift you as well as others. Being grateful, having people in your life that are supportive can make a difference on how you feel about life, So what about you? Do you feel inspired or just tired? I suggest you take part in the Be the Inspiration: Inspire Your World group coaching program by Coach Sheri which begins 9/15. You can register by visiting >> http://bit.ly/pkmqAz. Let me know how it works out for you. I’d love to hear your experience since mine has been one pleasant surprise after another. Enjoy an incredible holiday weekend! ~Bonnie
