While the rest of canada moves, i try to have a Confident Conviction

July 1st.
while the rest of canada was in the midst of moving, I was starting my first session with the nlp/life coach went really well.

Really really well.

She said so many many things that made sense - obvious things, and things that seemed so simple, I don't know why i didn't think of them before.

but there were bold steps - leaps of faith that I will have to take for this stuff to work

"what would you do in your life if anything were possible, if you could not fail?"

That's a loaded question with an equally loaded answer...

Hollywood?
Making my own sitcom/comedy sketch show?
Documentaries that win oscars?
Living somewhere in Greece during the winter months, New York in the summer?

yea, it all seems like a pipe dream to me now

but then again
what if it were all possible?

Must re-frame my way of thinking.
Access the inner child in me - the one who would not take no for an answer.
The one who believed in miracles. The one who wanted to help the world when she grew up.

how strange is it that I wanted first to be a stewardess (loved the idea of travel), then a brain surgeon (ironic that i ended up having a gig as a medical photographer at the neurological institute here)

onward and upward
New dreams, new plans

new beginnings

Confident Conviction
Aries Daily Horoscope

Calculated risks that you have committed to might cause you to experience anxiety and fear today. If these risks cause you discomfort, try to remain steadfast in the knowledge that your decisions are correct. Trusting your choices, even when you are as frightened as you are excited, can help you overcome your anxiety and face life’s challenges. The path you’ve chosen can seem less foreboding if you have faith in yourself. Should you become apprehensive, making a mental list of the successful risks you’ve taken in the past may help to ease your insecurities. Today can be a wonderful time to step back from your situation in order to take stock of all of your strengths.

Self-trust can be the most powerful weapon we possess when we have to combat fear. Most fear stems from self-doubt and the feeling that we are not capable of understanding a concept or completing a task. When you trust yourself, you acknowledge your faith in your ability to make decisions and succeed. The fear of failure or of undeserved accomplishment has little chance of gaining a foothold in your soul. Also, you become empowered to take risks without second-guessing yourself because you are secure in the knowledge that you would not choose an undertaking you were unprepared for. Trusting yourself today can help you dissipate your fears—you know that the risks you have chosen will be beneficial ultimately.
