Dear Intuition Newsletter Friends, 
  
It was great meeting all the women at the ABWA (American Business Women's Association) Tuesday night gathering on Cape Cod. We had a sold out crowd and lots of fun discussing how to TRUST YOUR GUT at work and in life. One of the questions from the audience during the Q & A period was "How do you deal with negative self-talk?" You can read some of my thoughts about that below.

I'll be in Tokyo and Osaka from March 20 - April 4. Perfect timing for the famous cherry blossoms! I'll be posting my travelogue on my Facebook page. Please join me!

In gratitude,

Note: Limited Availability for March

There are just a few appointments available in March due to my trip to Japan. Get on my schedule soon to reserve your session date. I'll be back again on April 6th.

8 Ways to Build Positive Self Talk

"Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude."

The above quote by Charles Swindoll is one of my favorites. Sometimes you're not in control of anything happening in your life except your attitude!
Following is a simple, yet powerful, technique I use with clients to help them shift from negative self-talk on a subject to a more positive viewpoint.

  1. Keep a notebook with you for a few days. Write down your most frequent negative thoughts.
  2. When you're in a good mood, begin to counter some of those thoughts with positive ones. Write them down! You may want to ask a good friend, coach or therapist to help you with this.
  3. When you're in a bad mood, look at your good mood responses!
  4. Be gentle with yourself. Isn't it the height of absurdity to hate and do battle with your own inner critic? "I just had a negative thought. Out! Out! damn thought!"
  5. Do something fun to switch the channel on negativity. Take a walk. Call a friend. Rent a funny movie. Go out to dinner. Go bowling. Watch people. Read a good book. Try something new.
  6. Don't take yourself or the situation too seriously. Things have a way of changing for the better.
  7. Answer the question "What does my life (or this situation) look like when it's successful?"
  8. Build your self-esteem by taking a risk; something that requires a little courage. Acknowledge and reward yourself for doing it.
Sometimes all that's standing between you and the great life you want and deserve are a few negative beliefs and perceptions. When you feel insecure and inadequate, begin to see it as a message from your own Spirit that you're thinking too small. Your inner wisdom is challenging you to try new things and move in creative directions and is simply showing you where change is needed. It's a wonderful world waiting for you. Have courage and embrace the change. Mighty forces gather around you and whisper words of encouragement. Open your mind and listen.

"It's not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life; it's what you whisper to yourself that has the most power." 
 
"Treat that 'Inner Critic' the way you would a wayward child. Try compassion, understanding and most of all some healthy redirection."

Are you seeking confirmation, guidance, and insight for a specific area of your life? 

Or perhaps you need direction for making that next BIG business decision.
"
My reading with Lynn was perfect timing for me. Recently, I went through a life-changing event that stopped me in my tracks and I was seeking some clarification on my vision and next best steps. Lynn gently guided me through some practical steps and has a true gift of tapping into my energy. I felt during and after our call that I've gained a huge amount of clarity and have received amazing messages from my spiritual connection and guides on my next steps. I loved Lynn's honesty, sense of humor and her groundedness. I'm in such gratitude having connected with her!."
