Stop Anxiety

How To Stop Anxiety and Anticipate Instead // EP65: I Have Today

December 30, 2019 //  by Diane Forster

 

Intention:  I HAVE TODAY…to replace my Anxiety with Anticipation!

 

In Part 5 of our 6 Part Series called, “Change Your Language, Change Your Life” you’re learning how to remove the Top 6 Words that are negatively affecting your life and replace them with powerful, positive words instead.

 

Number 5 is replacing Anxiety with Anticipation.  

 

Dr. Bruce Lipton states that 95% of disease is caused by mental stressors.  Doing daily, consistent work on mindset and the role it’s playing in your life needs to be a priority.  It is the Key to everything!

 

Perception is an interesting thing.  No two people think alike or see things the same way.  While we live in this big world, the only world that matters is the one you perceive!

 

Stop Anxiety

 

Here are 2 Ways how you can stop your anxiety and replace it with anticipation to be living a happier, more fulfilling life:

 

  1. You Need to Meditate!

 

I can’t emphasize enough the impact that meditating will have on your life.  It will change it, I promise! Spiritually, Emotionally, Mentally and Physically.  One of the greatest benefits from daily meditation is the ability to respond to life instead of reacting to it.  It gives you the space to have momentary pauses, which is the gap you need to respond to life’s “challenges” instead of always being in reactionary mode.  That momentary pause is such a gift! It’s the space available to change your perspective. I’ve created 4 FREE Guided Meditations on my YouTube Channel and will provide the links for you here as well.  They are titled:

 

  • Manifest Money
  • Love
  • Success
  • Happiness

 

In under 5 minutes, you’ll feel the energetic shift and feel excitement and anticipation about your day!  I hope you enjoy them!

 

2. Listen to the teachings of Abraham Hicks

 

I’m a huge fan of the teachings of Abraham Hicks and attribute much of what I do now because of the teachings.  One of the best lessons I learned was that THINGS ARE ALWAYS WORKING OUT FOR US! Here is one of the brilliant mantras I learned and use whenever I’m up against something that might have caused me to feel anxiety: 

“SINCE things are always working out for me, I know I’ll know the answers to this as some point; so, in the meantime, I’m going to live in anticipation of what’s to come.”

The truth is…you don’t want to know every single outcome in life.  How boring! If you can learn to love living in the “discomfort” of not needing to know and be comfortable being in the “unknown” then the universe can surprise and delight you! Have you ever had an experience or outcome that was way better than you thought it would be?  If the answer is yes, then you know what I’m talking about.

 

I have a morning mantra I say every day when my feet hit the floor.  It is, “I HAVE TODAY TO LOVE MY LIFE! SOMETHING REALLY GOOD IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME TODAY, I CAN FEEL IT!  MIRACLES, BIG AND SMALL, I NOTICE THEM ALL…YES, YES, YES! THANK YOU!” By saying this, I’ve set myself up for daily miracles and I live in anticipation of them and find them all day long.  

 

If you’re feeling “anxious” it’s because you think that past events are going to repeat themselves.  But, if you focus your energy and attention on the positive instead, you can replace those feelings of anxiousness with anticipation instead.  

 

Carly Simon sang it best.  “We can never know about the days to come.”  Live them with Anticipation. Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NwP3wes4M8

How to Trust and Believe in Yourself // Ep63: I Have Today

December 16, 2019 //  by Diane Forster

 

 

How to Trust & Believe in Yourself

This week’s episode is Part 4 in our 6 Part Series called, “Change Your Language, Change Your Life.”  Your life will change for the better when you replace TREPIDATION with TRUST.

Before I began to trust and believe in myself and trust that life is actually working FOR me and not against me, so many bad things were happening to me.  I was getting sick all the time, and things were not going the way I wanted them to. I had to learn that I have the inner guidance and mechanisms to guide life with ease and flow.

How about you?  Do you notice that when things don’t seem to be working out for you? That there is probably a part of you that isn’t trusting…yourself or others?

When you don’t trust yourself, it feels like a push-pull is going on.  You want to do something, like take some action. You don’t do it because you’re filled with trepidation, and quite frankly, excuses.  You come up with all the reasons why NOT to do something. At the core of that experience is lack of trust.

So, today, the conversation is about learning how to trust, and I share with you 3 powerful ways to make that happen.

  1. Use the Mantra “I HAVE TODAY to Start Fresh and New”

That is a line from the poem, “I HAVE TODAY” in my book, “I HAVE TODAY…Find Your Passion, Purpose and Smile…Finally!”  Basically, what that means to you is that when you wake up each day, you don’t have to bring your past with you into your NOW. 

Dr. Joe Dispenza speaks about and teaches us that we have to “Create Your Future Vision” instead of “Living in the Memory of your Past.”  He also says that your past does not define your future. I LOVE THAT! How we do that is to practice daily meditation. You’ve got to get quiet so that you can allow the visions and daydreams of the future you want to come in to your mind.  When you do that, you can then take actions towards that future you desire. You must TRUST the images you see because that is your inner guidance giving you the road map to get there!

2. Your Heart is Your #1 Mind!

Did you know that, according to Gregg Braden, your heart has “thinking capabilities” and that’s where our answers and guidance come from first!  Gregg also states that the reason that most people die between the ages of 70-100 is because of trapped emotions in the heart!  While the heart is designed to keep us alive for many, many years longer, years of trapped pain in the heart causes us to die, literally, of broken hearts that manifest into disease.  But, what if…we listened to and trusted our heart more? Would we live longer, happier lives? It’s worth exploring, don’t you think?

3. You Must Know Your WORTHINESS

When I did my TEDx Talk, I performed a powerful meditation called, “Powerful Self-Worth” and have attached a link to it here.  Please watch it (it’s only 6 minutes) and let me know how you feel after.  When you have Powerful Self-Worth, that leads to more self-trust, which leads to greater confidence, which leads to better, faster decision-making, which creates swifter progress in your life, and you manifest what you want that much faster!  It’s so powerful! 

You now know that there really isn’t any reason to have trepidation.  Things really are always working out for you, even if you can’t see it in the moment.  So, remember, you have each day to start fresh and new, your heart is your first mind, and you have all the power! Trust and believe in yourself!

MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER SECRETS! // EP 62: I Have Today

December 10, 2019 //  by Diane Forster

I recently interviewed James Malilnchak on “I HAVE TODAY.”  James is one of my coaches and mentors, he’s the Founder of BigMoneySpeaker.com, he’s one of the stars on the Hit TV ABC Series “Secret Millionaire” where he lived on less than $45/week and powerfully impacted the lives of so many by giving away checks to help support their dreams!

During this episode, we talked about Motivational Speaker Secrets, Speaking for a Living, How to Build a Speaking Business, and how to MAKE MONEY AS A SPEAKER! 

James is an expert, having been on over 3,000 stages and coaching over 1,000 clients.

You need to tune in to this episode if you have a story, a book, or are an expert with a desire to speak from the stage and get paid well to do it.

What James and I discussed was that most people only focus on “one side of the coin.”  That is why there are so many frustrated speakers and experts out there, who are basically giving away their expertise for free!  

We also talked about how many people approach writing a book or creating their signature talk BACKWARDS!  

Here are 3 Secrets to being a sought after MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER and how to be IN DEMAND:

  1. Being on Stage is just the Icing on the Cake

According to James, most people focus only on the speech part.  They do not put in the work necessary to actually get booked consistently.  It’s work. It IS a Job. He calls it the AIC part of the job.

 2. Your Message Comes Second

Most of the clients James works with, and frankly, the ones I work with too, are focused on their story and their message, and they don’t take into consideration who their audience is.  Your story and message aren’t about you…it’s about how you can serve the audience. So, identify who you want to speak to FIRST, then write your message to speak to that audience.

3. Stop Speaking for Free

When you first start out, it’s fine to speak for free to get the experience.  But, don’t do that for long! Don’t give away your value for free!  

 

Are you ready to start getting paid to speak?  Then, tune in to this episode to learn the Secrets from the Big Money Speaker himself, James Malinchak.  

 

With Love,

Diane

How to Get Rid of Self-Doubt // EP 61: I Have Today

December 2, 2019 //  by Diane Forster

[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/12222971/theme/0/height/0/custom-color/0/thumbnail/no/direction/forward/render-playlist/no” width=”100%” height=”200″ scrolling=”no” class=”podcast-class” frameborder=”0″ placement=”bottom” use_download_link=”” download_link_text=”” primary_content_url=”https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ihavetoday/61final.mp3″ theme=”standard” custom_color=”” libsyn_item_id=”12222971″ /]

Get Rid of Self-Doubt

 

If you’ve been watching or listening to “I HAVE TODAY with Diane Forster,” then you know we are doing a 6 Part Series called, “Change Your Language, Change Your Life” where I’m teaching you the TOP 6 Words You Need to Remove from Your Vocabulary and Which Words You Need to Be Using Instead in order to MANIFEST faster and to create MORE HAPPINESS!  

 

The 4th Word is How to Replace DOUBT with DETERMINATION instead.  

 

Let me ask you something…have you ever had an experience in your life where you were so determined to do or get something, that it didn’t matter what anyone else said or thought, you were not going to let anything or anyone stop you from your goal?  That’s determination.

 

I remember when my former and I were trying to have a baby.  After several months of nothing happening, followed up by testing, we discovered that I was the problem.  I went in for a procedure, and when I woke up in the recovery room, my doctor told me that he did everything he could, but that I would not be able to have children…ever.  He was such a wonderful man, and I could see how difficult it was for him to tell me this. As I stared back at him, my reply was, “Well, that is just NOT an option. I WILL have children.  There has to be another way!” Six months later, I was pregnant, and I gave birth to full term, boy-girl twins 15 months after that hospital experience.

 

While my doctor did the best he could, his assessment to me was based on his experience and history…he had no comprehension or understanding of MY WILL.  So, the message is this…

 

Don’t let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do…ever!  Imagine if I listened to him that day and took his opinion to heart and never pursued my dream of having a baby?  I am so grateful that I didn’t let doubt take over and remained determined about my dream. 

 

Let me share with you 3 reasons why you need to Get Rid of Self-Doubt:

 

Reason 1: Understand that there are NO Mistakes…just Lessons Along the Way.

 

It took Thomas Edison 999 tries of the light bulb before he figured it out.  As he stated, “I just figured out 999 ways how not to do it.”  You won’t know what you don’t know unless you try and stay determined.  That’s how we learn. That’s how we gain knowledge, wisdom and insight. So, remove the doubt out of anything and EVERYTHING you do, knowing that you cannot make a mistake!  It took Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen 144 “no’s” before finally getting a “yes” to publish “Chicken Soup for the Soul” which has now sold over 500 million copies worldwide of the successful, inspiring book series.  They didn’t have doubt. They operated from determination.  

 

Reason 2:  You Already Know Everything You Need to Know…You Just Need to Catch Up to the Knowing.

 

Think about when you were a baby just learning how to walk.  You started out on your back, then rolled over, then crawled then pulled yourself up, then took that first wobbly step.  Eventually, you took more steps until you were confidently walking. You were determined to do it. Nothing deterred you from your goal.  With each fall, you would get back up, and you never doubted it!!! The ability for you to walk was always inside you…you just needed to catch up to that knowing.  You had to go through the learning process with each of the phases that get you from your back to your feet.

 

This metaphor applies to everything in life.  It doesn’t matter what you want to do…the ability to do it is “in” you.  Therefore, there’s no reason to ever doubt! The only thing you need is your determination that you will figure it out.  Because you will.

 

Reason 3:  You Are Enough!…Just As You Are!

 

It’s interesting how challenging this is for so many people…they never feel like they’re enough.  In my years’ of doing this work, I have discovered that self-doubt and self-worth are so closely tied together.  When you don’t feel like enough, you doubt yourself. When you doubt yourself, it’s because you don’t feel X enough (ready enough, smart enough, capable enough, etc.)  Here’s the deal…you get to want whatever you want…no limits, no judgement, no questions, and definitely no doubt! As Bob Proctor states, “WANT IS THE ONLY PREREQUISITE FOR MAKING A DECISION.”  If you want something, know that you are worthy of it, that conditions in your life don’t need to change, and you are worthy of it “just because you want it!”  

 

Know what you want, and be determined to go after it!  Don’t give up on it! Be DETERMINED to get it! Don’t have DOUBT!  Where there’s a will, there is ALWAYS a way! Anyone who tells you anything contrary to that is basing it on history.  They don’t understand your will and YOUR DETERMINATION!

 

Tune in to the show for some more nuggets and take-aways!

 

With Love,

Diane

EP43: Change Your Beliefs About Making Money

August 29, 2019 //  by Diane Forster

[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/10690760/theme/custom/height/90/custom-color/b21e8d/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no” width=”100%” height=”90″ scrolling=”no” class=”podcast-class” frameborder=”0″ placement=”top” use_download_link=”” download_link_text=”” primary_content_url=”https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ihavetoday/IHT_43_Edited.mp3″ theme=”custom” custom_color=”b21e8d” libsyn_item_id=”10690760″ /]

“The money part can be easy, but the getting there is the internal work that’s not always easy.”

Nafissa Shireen (31:11-31:22)

I have today to realize how easy it is to make money. 

By using personal growth and subconscious reprogramming tools along with practical business strategies, Nafissa Shireen helps entrepreneurs create multi-six-figure success doing work they love. She is the host of Living Forward TV and the founder of Living Forward Business & Lifestyles Inc., an International Coaching Company focused on Personal Development and Business Mastery.

Nafissa helps others change their beliefs that making money is hard. 

The Biggest Challenge

Many entrepreneurs come from the corporate world where there is a complete emotional subconscious disconnect between providing their services and receiving payment.

It can be very challenging to, first of all, admit that you want to make a lot of money. The second big challenge is to actually ask for it and make the sale. 

It’s a matter of self-worth to be able to look at all that you offer, put a value on it, and then ask for that value.

“Look at the value we bring to our clients. A lot of entrepreneurs only look at the immediate result instead of the ripple effect of how their work impacts a person.”  -Nafissa Shireen (27:19-27:35)

Lose the Fear 

When Nafissa picked up the phone and made six figures in sales between Christmas and New Years, she learned that making the calls wasn’t the hard part. The hard part was getting over her fear of making the calls. Making money is the easy part once we lose the fear. 

When we can learn to value the work we do, lose the fear of what other people think, and not be afraid to ask for the sale, then making money becomes easy.

In the selling process, we will hear “no” a lot more than we hear “yes.” “No” is not personal and has nothing to do with the person making the offer. If it does have to do with your offer, it’s just feedback that your offer needs some improvement. 

Just Do It

If you have a desire for something, the way to fulfill it is here. You won’t see the whole pathway at once, but the next step you need to take will be right in front of you. Take it and let the path unfold. It’s scary. You’re going to have challenges along the way. But if you just keep moving forward, it will figure itself out. 

“You can crawl or you can soar. Either way, will take the same amount of effort, your mindset is the difference.”  

– Diane Forster (32:25-32:34)

Free Gift

Nafissa offers a free calculator that you can download to calculate the amount of money that you’re able to emotionally tolerate. The first part in breaking through that amount is calculating what it is. Along with the simple calculator are some self-coaching exercises to help you break through it.

You can download the calculator and exercises here.

You deserve to have the life of your dreams, and the money that it will take to achieve that life. Making money is the easy part. It’s time to move past the fear that has been holding you back to step into the life you’ve been waiting for!

EP42: How to Get Your Message to the Masses with Christina Daves

July 22, 2019 //  by Diane Forster

[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/10579427/theme/custom/height/90/custom-color/b21e8d/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no” width=”100%” height=”90″ scrolling=”no” class=”podcast-class” frameborder=”0″ placement=”top” use_download_link=”” download_link_text=”” primary_content_url=”https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ihavetoday/IHT_42_Edited.mp3″ theme=”custom” custom_color=”b21e8d” libsyn_item_id=”10579427″ /]

How to Get Your Message to the Masses with Christina Daves

 

“More people are afraid of what people will think of them if they say ‘no’. So most people say ‘yes’. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.”

 

Christina Daves (24:52-25:17)

Getting your message to the masses can be one of the biggest challenges for today’s entrepreneurs. But we all have stories, ideas, services, and products we want to share with the world. The better we are at getting our message in front of the right people, the more likely we are to make a lasting impact on others. 

 

Christina Daves is an expert at reaching the masses. Her bestselling book PR for Anyone shares over a hundred affordable strategies for creating a buzz about your business. Without having the advertising resources most other businesses have at their disposal, Christina taught herself everything she knows about generating publicity. She’s appeared in more than 1,000 local and national media outlets. Christina and her clients have been able to achieve a combined 873 million views and more than eight figures in revenue from her publicity-generating strategies. 

 

“We don’t know what we don’t know. We just try. That’s our education… you get in there and you do.” – Diane Forster (9:12-9:19)

 

Following Christina’s three-step process for reaching the masses can be your starting point for growing a successful business. 

 

Step 1: Be Newsworthy

 

If you want to get visibility for your business, you need to make sure that people have a reason for sharing your message. This means identifying the things that make your business unique. How can you set yourself apart from your competitors? What makes the value of your product or service worth talking about?

 

Step 2: Create Great Hooks and Subject Lines

 

There’s an endless number of people looking to reach the masses with their stories and ideas. So you need to create great hooks when reaching out to media outlets. Consider the most interesting and noteworthy aspects of your business. How can you summarize them into a concise and easy-to-understand message that hooks reporters and their audiences? 

 

Step 3: Find the Right Journalist 

 

Be selective about who you contact for media coverage. Do your research to find media outlets that share stories about businesses like yours. Think outside the box when looking for media coverage. Make sure you know who the end-user is, and find the platform that has a similar audience to the one you serve. When you do your homework, you’ll get maximum results from your efforts instead of wasting time and energy on media outlets that aren’t the right fit. 

 

Which Media Platform Should You Go After? 

 

Knowing who your audience is lets you identify the media outlets that will best meet your needs. Don’t just try to approach every TV or radio station in your local area. Each media outlet has a demographic they cater to. Match your target audience with the demographics of local media outlets in order to create a more effective public relations campaign. Target your story to the right demographic. 

 

“Don’t just throw spaghetti on the wall. Do your homework. That’s where you get the best results.” – Christina Daves (17:26-17:31)

 

Personalize your pitch to each media outlet. Mass mailings may reach more journalists and producers, but they won’t have the personalization that makes you stand out from the crowd. Know who you’re contacting and customize your message to the person. Eventually, you’ll find one media outlet that’s the perfect match for your business. 

 

Get used to asking for what you want. Too many people are worried about rejection and hearing the word “no”. But hearing “no” is the worst thing that can happen. So there’s never a reason to not ask. Don’t be afraid to put your gifts out there for the world. When you share the value of your services with the masses, the impact you make on the world grows as you build a thriving and profitable business.

EP41: Climb Your Way to Confidence with Werner Berger

July 15, 2019 //  by Diane Forster

[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/10488272/theme/custom/height/90/custom-color/b21e8d/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no” width=”100%” height=”90″ scrolling=”no” class=”podcast-class” frameborder=”0″ placement=”top” use_download_link=”” download_link_text=”” primary_content_url=”https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ihavetoday/IHT_41_Edited.mp3″ theme=”custom” custom_color=”b21e8d” libsyn_item_id=”10488272″ /]

“We are so much more magnificent than we think we are.”

– Werner Berger (25:40 – 25:43)

A Guinness World Records holder shares the secret to overcoming.

Werner Berger is guaranteed to be unlike any senior citizen you’ll ever meet. 

While other 82-year-olds will relax on pristine beaches this summer, the Founder and President of Meet Me at the Top and Strategic Results International will lead a trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro for the ninth time.

This comes as no surprise, given the history of the South African native. In 2007, Werner set the Guinness World Record for being the oldest person at the age of 69 to have climbed all of the highest mountains on each continent. Werner now relates his life experiences from that of a seasoned mountaineer to a successful entrepreneur and inspires others to climb their way to confidence. He believes that everybody, including you, are a leader meant for a great impact!

“We are all leaders. We are the leaders of our lives.”

 – Diane Forster (8:05 – 8:09)

Are you ready to be the leader you were meant to be? 

Let’s conquer that mountain of self-doubt one step at a time!

Here are three self-affirmations for you to gain the confidence you need.

1.) I am the master of my life. Life is a journey. A journey that is mostly controlled by you! Take ownership of the responsibility you have, especially in the care of your body. Challenge yourself in exciting ways but always remain physically active. “I’ve spoken to people with millions of dollars in the bank that would gladly give up their riches to have another 10 and 20 years of healthy living,” says Werner, “If you don’t have your health, then you really have nothing.

2.) I choose to live in the present. With the dawn of technology, most individuals in the 21st century are terrible at seizing the moment. Werner admits he was out of tune until he started high altitude climbing. “When you are on a mountain, you aren’t thinking about yesterday, in fact, there is no yesterday,” Werner explains, “The only thing you are thinking about or aware of is the present.” It became addictive. If you want to actually enjoy accomplishments, feel experiences, and nurture quick responses like a leader, then be in the here and now.

3.) I have the power to get myself out of a funk at a moment’s notice. It’s inevitable you will reach moments of depression, anxiety, and overwhelm self-doubt. Guess what? No human is immune to these experiences! Even people in the senior levels, think they’re imposters who aren’t good enough! The secret is to realize you have the power to change and refocus. “I did not know I had that power,” Werner reflects, “that’s what I learned from the mountain.”

“It really is so stunning. To be in that space, sometimes so exhausted where you fear you can’t take another step…and you can! Because your body can adapt, can adjust, can do what it needs to do.” -Werner Berger (24:32 – 24:50)

The secret is you and your body are far more capable than you think. 

Do you believe it?

A trek up Mt. Everest with Werner in April 2020 might do you some good. It would definitely be a powerful life-changing opportunity for you to awaken the leader within. But if you aren’t ready to commit, then start with some mindset work. You have today to build your confidence with each and every step along the way! 

Recite Werner’s three self-affirmations daily to encourage a radical transformation for the greatest impact in your personal life and career. Dig deep to embrace the truth of who you really are. 

You are a leader.

EP40: How Feng Shui Can Help You Take Control of What’s Holding You Back

July 8, 2019 //  by Diane Forster

[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/10390154/theme/custom/height/90/custom-color/b21e8d/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no” width=”100%” height=”90″ scrolling=”no” class=”podcast-class” frameborder=”0″ placement=”top” use_download_link=”” download_link_text=”” primary_content_url=”https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ihavetoday/IHT_40_Edited.mp3″ theme=”custom” custom_color=”b21e8d” libsyn_item_id=”10390154″ /]

“Some people think Feng Shui is about spatial alignment, but it’s really about looking at a person’s specific energy and how to situate them in their space.”

Pamela Edwards Ryan (14:05-14:14)

What is holding you back? Have you ever considered that it may be the energy surrounding your environment? 

Feng Shui is a science that’s based on formulas and understanding key energy and how it moves through space. It’s an observation of how environment influences how people function in their lives.

Pamela Edwards Ryan and her husband Michael White-Ryan are founders of Language of Space, an innovative firm which accelerates business performance by using advanced Feng Shui principles in workplace and residential environments. 

Pamela is a master at helping people change their lives using Feng Shui. Since Feng Shui is not just about space but is also about who a person is being, Pamela feels that it is important to understand who you are in order to show up as the magnificent person that you are. 

Pamela helps individuals to understand their… 

  • strengths, weaknesses, and more about themselves so that they’re much more attuned to which direction to go in life.
  • skill set, their beliefs, and their ideas about who they are.
  • environment and how it’s influencing their thoughts, behaviors, and the actions that they’re taking.

“The inner self is important, but also creating and enhancing the environmental aspect of your life is a synergistic way of tying it all together.” -Diane Forster (14:28-14:52)

Sometimes people are ready to make a change but they don’t know yet what that change is going to be. Feng Shui may be an option to help these people get unstuck and move forward, catapulting them into a new and better direction. 

There are simple ways to use Feng Shui to make a difference in your life. If you have been feeling uncomfortable in your environment, try rearranging the furniture. Moving your physical objects will change the energy in your space. If there are things blocking the front door, opening up that space can allow more energy into the environment. Try switching up where you sleep or work. Simple changes like these can create a big outcome.

“My work helps people see who they are, it empowers them to be the miraculous self that they want to be.”  

 – Pamela Edwards Ryan (18:56-19:05)

For Pamela, living the I HAVE TODAY way is about being a person who is more cognitive and more conscious of the decisions her mind is thinking so that she is in charge of making the choices of where she is going to go in her life.

You were meant to live an empowered, full, and free life. Take the steps to take control. Identify the areas of your life that are blocking the energy the universe wants to bring. Rearrange your life, and watch how things begin to shift for your good.

EP39: How to Live Without Resistance and Self-Doubt With Elizabeth Pearson

July 1, 2019 //  by Diane Forster

[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/10341095/theme/custom/height/90/custom-color/b21e8d/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no” width=”100%” height=”90″ scrolling=”no” class=”podcast-class” frameborder=”0″ placement=”top” use_download_link=”” download_link_text=”” primary_content_url=”https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ihavetoday/IHT_39_Edited.mp3″ theme=”custom” custom_color=”b21e8d” libsyn_item_id=”10341095″ /]

“If you’re feeling resistance, it probably means that you’re starting to take risks and get out of your comfort zone.”

Elizabeth Pearson (24:05-24:11)

We all face resistance and self-doubt in life. Whether it’s in our work, at home, or in other areas of life, resistance can keep us from achieving our true potential. How do we overcome resistance and the limiting beliefs that come with it? 

Like many women, Elizabeth Pearson found herself wanting more out of life. She felt something was missing, despite having a successful career, a wonderful husband, two beautiful daughters, and a house in the suburbs. 

“What if everything you’ve ever believed about your life was a lie? You can feel and believe differently about anything and everything you want. It’s all about perception.” – Diane Forster (15:03-15:18)

Elizabeth worked with multi-million dollar brands like Wal-Mart, Amazon, Target, Whole Foods, and Vitamin Water. But a corporate sales career wasn’t the fulfilling life she’d set out to achieve. Elizabeth soon followed her passion for coaching others and launched her business in 2016. 

She’s now a public speaker and executive career coach who specializes in helping women executives and entrepreneurs increase their income by at least six figures within a year. 

3 Ways to Stop Resistance and Self-Doubt 

If you want to find fulfillment in life, you must first identify the resistance and self-doubt, take control, and stop them from holding you back from all you were meant to achieve. There are major ways to do this. 

  1. Get the Support You Need

Most people measure their value by their level of activity. The busier they are, the more self-worth they think they have. Asking for support isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s actually just the opposite. The right support system helps you move past resistance. 

Elite-level athletes, executives, and entrepreneurs have all tapped into the power of coaching. It’s a great way to leverage the experience and expertise of others who’ve paved the same path you’re on. 

  1. Take Some Action Every Single Day

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by everything you need to do. But when you break down goals into smaller tasks, it’s easier to manage and take actions that move you forward. 

When you set goals, create an action plan with small steps you can take each day. Commit to taking some action every single day to build momentum over time. 

“When you stop taking action, you’re dead in the water. Keep moving every single day towards your goal… even if it feels like a baby step.” – Elizabeth Pearson (22:31-22:41)

  1. Do Something That Would Make Your Future Self Proud 

One day you’ll look back on your journey and see the obstacles you overcame to reach your goals. So imagine what would make your future self proud and do those things today. This could be scheduling a call with a coach or enrolling in an online course you’ve been wanting to do.

Thinking about what would make your future self proud is an easy way to identify the steps you can start to take on your journey towards creating the life you want. 

Everyone has some level of greatness within them. Getting the support you need, taking action every day, and making your future self proud are three simple ways to move through resistance and claim the success you deserve.

EP38: The Boomerang: 3 Steps to a Happier Life

June 24, 2019 //  by Diane Forster

[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/10232474/theme/custom/height/90/custom-color/b21e8d/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no” width=”100%” height=”90″ scrolling=”no” class=”podcast-class” frameborder=”0″ placement=”top” use_download_link=”” download_link_text=”” primary_content_url=”https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ihavetoday/IHT_38_Edited.mp3″ theme=”custom” custom_color=”b21e8d” libsyn_item_id=”10232474″ /]

“The Boomerang Effect in spirituality is that whatever you put out to the universe is coming back to you.”

Diane Forster (2:15-2:30)

By becoming aware of what you are boomeranging back into your life that you don’t want, you can reprogram your thoughts and words to boomerang into your life what you do want.

In spirituality, the Boomerang Effect states that whatever you put out to the universe by speaking and thinking will come back to you.

“Whatever you’re feeling, you’re boomeranging that back into your life.”  – Diane (11:36-11:40)

Do you have the life that you want? Are the things that are showing up in your life what you actually want to have around? Have you ever stopped to think that you are attracting these things into your life? If you’re tired of settling for mediocre, and desire to live an extraordinary life, it’s time to answer these questions.   

3 Steps to Have a Happier Life

This clarifying exercise will make you aware of what’s boomeranging into your life.

Step # 1:  Write a description of where you are right now in your life in the following areas (both the good and the bad).

  • Health
  • Love
  • Money
  • Family
  • Friendships
  • Spirituality
  • Career
  • Home Life
  • Any area not listed here

Since we’re trying to get clear about what you’re boomeranging back into your life, be as honest and descriptive as you can, but also be gentle and kind with yourself.

Step #2: Circle the descriptive words (the adjectives and emotions) from the descriptions you’ve written in Step 1.

This will help you identify the language, feelings, and energy that you associate with each of these categories in your life.

Step #3: Look for, and highlight patterns and similar words. Use one color for positive words and another color for negative words.

This will be eye-opening. If you’re unhappy with a certain category of your life and you’re using negative words to describe it, you will be able to see clearly that by thinking, speaking, and writing that way, you are boomeranging the negative back into your life.

Now that you are aware of this, you can change your mindset and your language. Since everything in your life is a direct reflection of how you think and how you feel, you will need to reprogram your thinking and your language to get what you want. Switch out the negative descriptions of what you don’t want with positive words, feelings, and adjectives of the things that you do want. You will be surprised how fast they will come into your life!

“If you communicate about it the way you want it to be, it has no choice but to come into your life.”  – Diane (13:32-13:42)

Self-Worth and the Boomerang Effect

Attracting negative emotions and experiences into your life stems from your level of self-worth. When you love and accept yourself wholly and completely, you operate your life from a whole different place of pure love and compassion. And when you come from that place, you can’t help but attract everything you want. It’s time to start loving yourself fully and boomeranging the most extraordinary things into your life. What are you waiting for?

EP37: How to Overcome Self-Doubt to Reveal Your Hot, Badass Self with Dana Pharant!

June 17, 2019 //  by Diane Forster

[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/10135495/theme/custom/height/90/custom-color/b21e8d/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no” width=”100%” height=”90″ scrolling=”no” class=”podcast-class” frameborder=”0″ placement=”top” use_download_link=”” download_link_text=”” primary_content_url=”https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ihavetoday/IHT_EP37_Edited_v2.mp3″ theme=”custom” custom_color=”b21e8d” libsyn_item_id=”10135495″ /]

“It’s through those experiences that blindside us that we discover what makes us so powerful. It’s through your break downs that you’ll find your breakthroughs.”

Diane Foster (17:23 – 17:36)

Dana Pharant is a badass business performance coach, and she works with entrepreneurs to help them find and reconnect with who they are at their core. Her personal brand of inner dominatrix pushes people out of their comfort zone, challenges their preconceived notions, and helps them step into a fierce determination to rock their bold, fun-filled lives! Dana helps her clients uncover their bulletproof confidence, and she helps them draw their inner power out from within themselves.

Embrace Challenging Periods in Your Life

We all wish that we perpetually felt like hot, badass rockstars in total control of our circumstances. But that’s not how life works. No matter who you are, you will hit road bumps. Whether you’re running a highly profitable business or enjoying great success in your personal life, at times, things just aren’t going to go the way you want them to.

When that happens, it’s natural for you to experience a little bit of self-doubt, or lose a little hope. You might start thinking that you aren’t really cut out for what you’re trying to achieve, or worse, that you don’t deserve the life that you have imagined for yourself.

“I’m not giving anybody anything new. I’m helping people find their inner power where it already exists.”

– Dana Pharant (18:38 – 18:46)

However, these trying times can be your biggest blessings if you learn how to use them to your advantage. Just like you need to lift weights if you want growth in your muscles, you have to overcome challenges in your business, or in your personal life, if you wish to grow and take things to the next level.

Three Tips to Overcome Self-doubt and Discover Your Inner Power

Embrace the Moment – Most likely, you’ve been through tough situations in your life which, in hindsight, you’ve realized were blessings in disguise. The real trick is to welcome challenges while you’re in that moment of difficulty. What new skills are you forced to learn, or which new connections do you have to make to overcome this road bump? If you can focus on the benefits instead of the bad stuff, you’ll be able to reveal more of your real inner power.

Doubt the Doubt – Self-doubt is a natural part of the process, especially if you’ve experienced something you perceived as a failure in the past. But you should doubt the self-doubt itself. Is it really giving you accurate feedback, or is it merely the monkey-mind gone wild? Are there things that you’ve done well in the past, or mistakes that you’ve learned from? This is where a good coach or therapist can be extremely valuable. They can help you uncover blocks in your own mind, and to remove the ceiling for what you will allow for yourself.

Ask the Right Questions – The questions you ask yourself play a critical role in the outcomes that you get. Maybe you’re not aware that you’re continually asking yourself why you can’t make more money, or why you can’t maintain a stable relationship. Your subconscious mind doesn’t discriminate, and it gives you the answers you’re looking for. So, it’ll bring you evidence to solidify your current self-limiting beliefs. Instead, ask yourself why you’re so good at inviting positive results. You’ll start finding reasons why you do deserve good things, and consequently, you’ll begin to attract them into your life.

“If you know what you should be doing, but something is holding you back, maybe there’s a deeper layer within you that needs to heal so you can overcome doubt and  take that leap of faith.”

– Dana Pharant (28:03 – 28:14)

Remember, when you hit road bumps, it’s a clear sign that it’s time for you to level up. Embrace the challenge and look for the positives. It’s through your break downs that you’ll find your breakthroughs as you reveal your hottest, badass self.
