Go Forward Fearlessly!

At the age of 50 I was deeply depressed and no longer able to work full-time because of my health problems. I was working in a very stressful job. My father had recently died. I had just sold my home and moved to a new one. In addition, I was a single parent of two teenagers and primary caretaker for a loved one who was ill. A few short years later, I am completely healthy, happily self-employed, and truly enjoying my life. How did I get here? By using the tools described in this book! Each chapter introduces a unique approach for surviving and even thriving amid massive change. I used these strategies to create a happy and fulfilling life. Today they continue to help me successfully manage everyday challenges, major life changes, and global shifts. In my business, my clients and students turn to me for direction about navigating their own life transitions. Often they are experiencing several major life changes. They have used these methods with great results. They appreciate my mentorship because I understand what they are going through. I’ve been there! According to educator Susan Smith Jones Ph.D. “more than two-thirds of doctor visits are due to stress. Chronic stress, if (we) don’t manage it well, has an impact on every aspect of our physical and mental well-being.” Those who implement the approaches in this book experience greater calm and less stress amid the chaos of their lives. And there are wonderful side benefits. According to New York Times columnist Jane E. Brody “… stress can add to one looking one’s age or worse.” In this book I will remind you of self-care practices that are critical to maintaining good emotional, mental, and physical health. In addition, you will learn new self-care techniques. I will demonstrate how I have used positive affirmations in my life to great effect for both minor and major goals. We will explore the world of Jungian archetypes where you will be re-introduced to core aspects of yourself that, when rediscovered, can greatly increase your personal joy and happiness. I will share the rich, wondrous landscape revealed by oracle cards. You will learn and implement practical tools for understanding your true life purpose. Going for your life purpose can affect your financial life and I will tell you how I successfully made the leap from financial services advisor to spiritual teacher and author. Whether you decide to make life changes or they are thrust upon you, you will sometimes face worry and fear. An entire chapter is devoted to this topic. Finally, you will have an opportunity to combine familiar and new tools into a sustainable blueprint that will serve you now and well into the future. A quick note about the exercises in this book: Some involve using visualization techniques. If you are not a visual person, please use your feeling sense. This process is just as effective. Change can be scary!
