Burning Bowl Ceremony

Since today is the last day of 2010 and tomorrow begins a new year, I knew exactly what I wanted to write for you. It is a technique I learned some time ago, used and found to be very effective. Ironically, Randy Gage, author of Randy's Success and Prosperity Blog, had the same idea. He wrote a blog about it as well as created a video. Since he said everything I would have said and explained everything so well, I will let him deliver the message to you.

Giving Yourself a Fresh Start by Randy Gage

January 1st is a great time to give yourself a fresh start.  And one of the best ways to do that is to conduct a “burning bowl” ceremony.

This is a process where you figuratively and literally release and burn the things you want to leave behind.  Then you replace them with the things you want instead.  So for example you may release overeating and replace it with exercise, or let go of revenge and replace it with love.  I do this every New Years Eve, and sometimes do it again during the year.  It’s powerful positive programming for your subconscious mind.

Folks, whether or not you do the Burning Bowl ceremony, do give yourself a clean slate for the new year. Best wishes for your most incredible year every. As we say in Hawaii, Hauoli Makahiki Hou!  Janet

Confidence is a Key by Chris Brogan

As we wrap up 2010 and prepare for 2011, master blogger and entrepreneur Chris Brogan gives us the practical “how to” advice that can make a difference in all the years to come.

Everything I’ve done in the last several years has come from building up my own confidence a step at a time. Everything I’ve accomplished comes from confidence. Here’s a quick video I shot about it for you: Chris

How to Get What You Want by Janet Callaway

Here are two powerful keys to help you get what you want.

1. Admit that you want it. Seems obvious, doesn't it? However, far too many people are unwilling to acknowledge that they want something. This applies to relationships, learning new skills like marketing with social media or social networking, athletic achievements, losing weight or even building a home business or network marketing business.

How to be the CEO of Your Life by Janet Callaway

Sounds good, doesn't it? The CEO of Your Life means that you are in charge, you make the decisions; you're in control of your life. Guess what, you already are the CEO of Your Life; you already have 100% responsibility for whatever happens in your life. You need to recognize it, accept it and take action.

If you were a Company, you would be doing year end reviews and planning for next year. As the CEO of You, it is time for you to do the same. Let's begin.

Let Go to Have by Janet Callaway | The Natural Networker

How to Make 2011 Your Best Year Ever by Janet Callaway | The Natural Networker

2010 is drawing to a close and the promise of 2011 is drawing near. This is the time of year when people think about how next year will be different. Unfortunately, just thinking about how it will be different, will not make it so. If you want it to be different, you have to think about it, plan it and then action--consistently!

On December 20^th, Mari Smith, dubbed the “Pied Piper of Facebook” by FAST Company and a “go to” lady for most all things social media or social networking, wrote a terrific article on what she does to plan for each year. Below are a few excerpts from her post which I particularly like. For your convenience, I have included the link to that blog post because from there you will be able to connect to Chris Brogan's similar post. He chooses 3 words each year; in his blog post, he explains the how and why of them.

Mele Kalikimaka from Janet Callaway

Let me begin by wishing you the gifts of the season—Peace, Hope and Love—to last the whole year through.

Today as you are celebrating this special day with family and friends, take a moment to give thanks for the people who are NOT at home celebrating with their families and friends. Instead, they are working today to keep you healthy and protected. Please join with me in acknowledging and appreciating the military, medical personnel, fire and police departments who give their time for us.

May you be surrounded by the love and laughter of family and friends; find beauty in all things great and small and know always the Joy of Appreciation.

Mahalo for being a faithful reader of this blog; I appreciate you. Mele Kalikimaka. Janet
