Your one question for big results In this edition: Main article: Your one question for big results Stuff to expand your consciousness: Inner Compass Bookshelf Book Review: The Sixth Wife by Suzannah Dunn Laser thoughts Canberra Corner: Canberra Furnished Accommodation Note from Zoë Hi there There's much to share with you this week. This edition is jam-packed full of goodies. Compass Bearings has been awarded the Avatar Award for "having displayed excellence, clarity and a non-compromising stance when assisting in humanity's spiritual awakening." So now you know for sure you are in good company :) Thanks to everyone who filled out the survey. I've discovered that the typical reader is a woman in her 40s who runs her own service-based business. The most popular topics were 'Making the Law of Attraction Work for You Once and for All', and 'Prosperity Mindset Makeover', followed closely by 'Notes from A Coach'. The least popular? 'M is for Marathon' and 'Attract a Mate'. When I told my mentor the results she said, "No kidding. People don't want to run 26 miles and find a boyfriend - they just want you to tell them how to lose weight and make more money." Now I know! Thanks guys! Look out for some products to suit your needs in the coming weeks. Zoe P.S. Are you on Facebook? I'd love to connect with you there. Please add me as a friend, leaving me a note telling me you are from Compass Bearings. The One Question You Need to Ask I had an amazing time last weekend at the PSYCH-K workshop in Sydney. It was even better than I'd expected. We learned some fantastic techniques to shift focus and beliefs in record time. It's truly amazing. How do I know it's so awesome? As preparation for interviewing a Virtual Assistant to join my team, on the trip to Sydney I made a list of all things I love to do in my business, and all the things I loathe - things that I avoid like the plague, even though I know these tasks will dramatically shift the end results in my business by thousands of dollars per month. Things like inquiring about using a venue for a workshop I'd like to deliver. Yes it's embarrassing but true - I have a massive block about picking up the phone to ask about this. Don't know why - it just is. That's the thing about fears and doubts and worries - they make no sense, and you know they make no sense, but they're still there, like a sore that just never quite heals. At the PSYCH-K workshop I did a few balances and visualising around the topic of things being easy and effortless in my work. No fireworks, no big deal. Did I feel different? No, not really. If anything, I felt a bit tired at the end of the weekend. Come Monday morning, I cruised through my task list and found myself pulling up outside an office block I'd been meaning to look in to for, well, for years. In five minutes I was back in the car with all the information I needed. It wasn't quite suitable. Then on my way to the gym I had a few spare minutes so I ducked in to the hotel next door and asked them about rooms for event hire. They had exactly what I needed for a reasonable price (more than reasonable). Later, on the rowing machine, I started laughing to myself. Who was this person? I couldn't believe the shift. What was most amazing, is that making the inquiries felt like no big deal, like it had never been an issue, that I had always been this confident. It simply was who I was now. The person who would rather put their head in a bag full of old peanut butter and rotten apples at the very thought of having to make such a call - she was gone. Poof. Did not exist anymore. That is the power of PSYCH-K - make quick and easy shifts in a matter of minutes for a lifetime of changed feelings and thoughts, bringing fabulous new results. And it works on 'big' stuff too. I've been guiding people through the process on issues like weight loss, money stress, cold calling angst, and personal resilience. There's an awful lot of shifting and groovy stuff happening. Even if you can't attend a PSYCH-K workshop yourself, you can always do a laser coaching session with me and I'll help you zap some limiting beliefs in a flash. Check it out here. But here's my secret weapon to help anyone make shifts right here, right now: Say you've done nothing but stress and worry about an issue (like losing weight) and you cannot shake the irksome need for your body to be different. No matter how much you challenge your thoughts, practice being grateful, look at your vision board, you still feel a desperate sadness at the state of your physical form. You're so focused on what you don't want, you have no idea what you really want. The one question to ask for big results is this: "What do you want instead?" Simple, yet powerful and profound. This guides your brain and subconscious in a new direction. Then keep the momentum going with these: What do you see yourself doing when you've achieved this goal? What do you hear people saying to you? What do you tell yourself? What feeling would you feel when you've achieved this goal? Have you ever felt this way before? Close your eyes and think of how it felt when you felt that feeling before... Where do you feel the feeling most in your body? If it has a shape what shape is it? If it has a colour, what colour is it? If it has texture, what does it feel like? If it has a temperature, what is it? Write all these answers down for future reference. What you are doing here is re-programming your subconscious to guide you in the direction you desire. When you give it visual, auditory, and kinesthetic markers, it knows what to do - it will trigger these new positive responses when you next think about your goal. You will think, feel, and act differently about your goal. You will now be on auto-pilot for success. Cool, huh? I thought you'd like it being so easy!

Book Review: The Sixth Wife by Suzannah Dunn I took a break from personal development reading this last week for a bit of mindless entertainment. You guys know that I am a huge Star Wars fan. But did you know that I was also a Tudor era fanatic? I love historical fiction from this time period. This book by Dunn is a good read, a la Philippa Gregory style. She lacks the depth and richness of Gregory's writing, but this is a pretty good book on an often overlooked queen from Henry VIII's time.
