3 tools to avoid naysayers and drop it like it’s hot anyway

/11 Comments/in , , /by

Let’s play a game. I call it “have you ever.”


Have you ever…

  • ever had some well-meaning person give you unsolicited advice about your life that left you feeling worse about yourself than before

  • ever doubted yourself and given into negativity and other people’s opinions about you

  • ever felt like you are in a room waiting for your life to start?

I’ve been there!

True Story:

With my orange tree. Mother Nature reminds me that we are ALL abundant!

With my orange tree. Mother Nature reminds me that we are ALL abundant!

I want to share a true story with you in the hopes that it helps you see that no matter what has gone down, there’s something that you have inside of you that trumps anyone’s opinion, your own fear and dare I say it, even your supposed “destiny.”


One of my secret (and not so secret anymore!) dreams has been to travel to Italy. It’s been an obsession of mine since I can’t even remember. I’ve never been there but you know how sometimes a place just calls to your Soul and you don’t know why? You may have grown up in a different culture entirely but still, it’s like this gnawing desire that grows stronger the older you get? That’s Italy for me. And now, many many years later, I am FINALLY going! It’s all arranged and for ten glorious days in June, I will be indulging in all things Italian.


And it’s funny. When I told people that I was going to Italy, most of them were like, “Oh my gosh! Italy is soooo beautiful! I went when I was younger. How romantic! You’re so lucky! I remember when….

And then after all the positive stuff wore off, they’d throw in, “But you know plane tickets to Europe in the summer especially are ridiculous, right?”

“I bet you can’t get time off from your job.

Well, you’re lucky you don’t have kids or a husband yet.”  (Uh…thanks?)


Talk about a downer on my dream. Other stuff that people said to me included:

“The men there are shameless flirts! You are going there by yourself? And you have a boyfriend back home? Watch out!”

 

 

When You Doubt Yourself

But the most interesting comment ended up becoming a big lesson for me in listening to myself. I was at an event in Los Angeles with two very well-known intuitives whose work I respect so much. We did a meditation exercise about Abundance and Joy. After that meditation, I ended up doodling a few things on my notepad, two of which were a heart and the word Florence! I hadn’t said a word to anyone and I got SO excited that I started sharing how I really wanted to go Italy and put on a workshop about love and intuition. The ladies at my table were so supportive and excited for me!


Anyhow, later in the event, there was a rare opportunity to stand at the mike and ask a question we wanted the intuitive“hits” on and I didn’t know what I was going to ask. I just wanted to ask something. Anything! (Looking back, I know that was probably my Ego talking and I could have just sat that one out, but there are no accidents!)


So I asked all smugly, “Would this summer be a good time to go to Italy? I really want to live there for a little bit and put on a workshop.”


There was a long pause. One said, “Oh no! You will have more money NEXT year because you will be in an “8” abundance year. Wait.”


The other agreed.“Your ducks will not be in a row if you go this year. You have to take care of the basics first. Wait until next year.”


“Well, alright then. Thank you.” I begrudgingly went back to sit down at my table and my good friend and founder of the Reinvention Channel, Vidette, who I introduced you all to awhile back slid a piece of paper across to me like we were in school.


It said, “Diana, why are you doubting yourself? Your intuition said Florence and you told me this summer. Why are you letting someone tell you otherwise?”


She’s an awesome friend and she was right. I love Vidette.


What Now?

But I shouldn’t shake what I had just been told. I tried to look at the situation objectively and rationally.

Side note: That lasted about two seconds because well, if you’ve ever tried to look at your own stuff objectively, it’s pretty hard to do. We want what we want! That’s why people hire me, so they get an outsider’s perspective when they can’t see through the fog of their own thoughts.


Here’s what mine were back then:

1. Yes, I do numerology too thankyouverymuch and I know that next year (2014)  the numbers show that yes, if I’m following my gut, abundance should flow pretty freely more than this year (yay!).


2.  But, I don’t care. I still want to go to Italy.


3.  I may not have all my ducks in a row, but I never understood that expression and frankly, I find it more satisfying to see what happens when there IS no row and the ducks are happy to go wherever they want to. What’s fun about being in a straight line?


ps: In case you didn’t hear me Spirit, I really want to go to Italy. Really badly. (Soooo rational, right?)


I got MAD and like I wrote about in an earlier post, I used that anger and later that insatiable DESIRE and asked myself, “If I didn’t care what ANYONE said and I had no fears about limitations on my time or resources, what would I WANT to do?”


The answer that came?  Use your travel miles, Diana and go to Italy.

My intuition directed me to the United.com site and I saw that I had 80,000 unused miles! It takes 60,000 to get to Florence, so there goes the “airfare is too much” objection . And soon after I booked my airfare (literally within 45 minutes), I found a beautiful room to stay in through a secure travel site and I also got a strong hit that I will be writing like a mad Goddess while I’m there. I am SO excited to be doing sessions with my clients from Italia over gelato! And the rest will figure out itself.

3 Golden Nuggets for YOU:


1) Your consistent soul-driven desires TRUMP everything else. Listen to them.


Even when you choose to cave in and NOT follow your intuition, your soul-driven desires nag at you in the middle of your workday, they pop into your head or your thoughts late at night or first thing in the morning. You may even get signals of other people doing stuff that reminds you of your latent desires that you’ve put on the back burner.


Let your soul-driven desires have a voice. Hear them out. They may have some pretty amazing plans for you that you couldn’t have thought up no matter how many psychics you went to or how many pieces of advice your friends or family members give you about what’s “for your Highest Good.” Listen. Stay open to their whispers.

 

 

2. Just START. You don’t have to have the whole plan. (Boring!)

You just have to know what you want and do the next immediate action. Then you get the next set of steps. Kind of like what happened with me. First, I had to negate my own intuition only to get mad at myself, which fueled me going to United.com, then to the travel site and finally I was so on fire that my creativity and intuition were doing the happy dance together.

 

 

3. Be Discerning. Naysayers are inevitable, but listening to them is a choice.

Most people are well-meaning and when you can remember that we’re all doing the best we can from our own unique life experiences, you can chill out and let the outside negativity or the fears that aren’t yours just slip off your aura. Replace it with compassion and loving detachment and do what you want to do anyway! (It’s more fun and takes a lot less energy!)

3. Interested in learning more about what could be really be holding you back from what you want?

Fora limited time, I am scheduling 15 complimentary 30-minute “Sparkle” consultations with those of you who are committed to your personal development. These are conversations designed to SPARK you and help you learn more about yourself.

You are:

  • committed to learning more about yourself and have an open mind

  • open to receiving spiritual coaching and never blame anyone or anything for your current circumstances

  • an action-taker who has a desire to grow


Is that you?


Very very important: Read this before you say YES!


1) These are different than intuitive readings. The intention for these Sparkle consults are to help you discover what is really going on or blocking you from what you say you want in one area of your life. So if you come to this call wanting answers or wanting my “intuitive hits” on your life, I will kindly direct you back to my services page to book a reading. 


2) I will ask you questions, get to know you better and based on what we uncover together, I will make specific suggestions of ways that we work together to help you achieve your goals. This could be suggesting that you apply for one of my training or coaching program, consider a Soul reading or I may get a sense that a numerology report and an audio course I have would be of greatest benefit. It varies per person.


3) You also have time to ask questions about how I work and see if I’m the right person for you!


I am always amazed what happens in these Sparkle consults and I’m SO Excited to be speaking with fifteen beautiful souls.


Want to be one of my 15?

 

OOPS. Looks like I only have a few left! Book fast!

Want to be adored? Stop doing this!

“How can I get my husband to appreciate me more?”

 

“I work so hard, and feel like no one seems to even notice.”

 

“Money comes into my life and it seems to go out just as fast? Why?”

 

Appreciation. Acknowledgement and Financial Abundance.

 

Those are the three biggest things that I hear people talking about CONSTANTLY.

 

How can we get more of THAT?

 

It’s easy.

 

Get a pen.

 

This is super deep.

 

Are you ready?

 

My million dollar answer. This is going to make me famous. And it’s going to make you rich and adored.

 

Here it is: Stop complaining. Not just out loud. But even inside your own head. Just stop it!

 

It’s so easy to say but between all the media negativity and outside energies, it can be really challenging to put into practice.

 

But if what you want is a better, richer life with a loving man (or woman) by your side plus the Benjamins in the bank, this is a non-negotiable spiritual law.

 

The Law (in my own words for you is):

 

“The strongest energy ALWAYS wins. We all have light and Shadow sides to our psyche, our thoughts and most importantly to the vibration we choose to put out into the world. Whichever energy is dominant is the one that will be responsible for manifesting whatever it is you see in your external reality.” Period.

 

Are you with me?

 

So, my invitation to you? Go on a COMPLAINING fast. For the next 24 hours. I double triple dare you!

 

This is harder than it appears. You’d be surprised how many times you may catch yourself complaining in passing and if you do complain, each time you catch yourself, I want you to:

 

1.STOP.

 

2. Close your eyes.

 

3. Breathe in and out and say “I now choose to stop cutting off my financial  flow” (Even if your finances are in awesome shape, there’s something really tangible that hits home when we use the word “financial flow.” But feel free to substitute your own power statement here so that it feels authentic for you and what you want to create more of.

 

Take Action: Your Spirit Challenge!

 

1. Will you be a part of our Spirit challenge this week?

If you are a YES, post a YES in the “Leave a Comment” section on here! I want to cheer you on!

 

2. Prizes!

After your 24 hours are complete (Deadline to post is Friday, April 12) , for anyone who posts a comment with 1-3 sentences of how the Complaining Challenge positively affected your day, I will be emailing a fun prize to!

Note: You MUST post with your full email address or I won’t know where to send your freebie!

 

3. If you want to learn more about getting respect and feeling adored and understood in your relationships with family, friends and lovers, I HIGHLY recommend my new audio course, Find Your Spirit, Find Yourself. Check it out here: www.URintuitive.com/realms2.html

 

Have a Blessed week and thank you so much for reading!

Surrender

/1 Comment/in /by

It’s officially April! All around us new life is birthing and new ideas, insights and opportunities could be coming to you from a variety of places.

There’s no going back.

There may a deep and profound knowing within you that some part of your life will never be the same. Maybe you left someone behind. Maybe you were the one left. Maybe you left a home behind. Maybe you’re moving. Getting or losing a job. Or perhaps, shedding an old perspective that no longer serves you?

 

The Fun

It can feel like everything is moving so fast that sometimes internally, you’re playing catch-up. Or vice versa. You may be very clear about where you want to go but the external, the material world is lagging a bit in co-creating that manifestation. It’s okay. The timing, the slow-downs, the frustrations. It’s all part of a bigger Divine plan.

 

You may not know exactly what that is, but what’s the fun in knowing all the answers, roads and destinations ahead of time? Some of those roads are unpaved at the moment, waiting for you to fill in the cracks or write the end of a chapter so you can create and head down a new yellow brick road that is just perfect for you.

 

Is it easy? Maybe not. Is it necessary? Your Spirit will tell you that. If you’re living your life based on what your intuition shares with you in quiet moments, April will be a wild, crazy fun adventure. If you’re not and you’re constantly looking for validation or answers outside of yourself, April could be hell.

 

It’s really about the balance isn’t it? Knowing when you’re spun out in your head thinking it’s your intuition (great time to get an intuitive reading to help you access what is your True Higher wisdom) and knowing when your intuition is right on point, but there’s a bit of fear at having to make the changes necessary to fulfill that Soul-guided message.

 

 

Your April Surrender Plan:

 

The key is surrender. In typical Diana-like fashion, I’m going to acronym it for you.

 

Surrender is about:

 

S=Simplifying your life

 

U=Understanding that you are exactly where you need to be

 

R=Remembering to count your blessings

 

R=Re-considering what you really want

 

E=Eating foods that uplift and nourish the Soul vs. unconscious stuffing to avoid emotions

 

N=Never being afraid to say, “I need help.”

 

D=Dancing everyday, even if it’s just in your mind (your subconscious doesn’t know the difference :))

 

E=Ending a chapter that has long been over, even if it’s hard

 

R=Remembering to make time for fun. It doesn’t have to be all work and no play. Your Inner child will rejoice!

 

Your Soul Hour: Are you coming?

 

Have a blessed April and to help you and lift the vibration of our entire community and world, I’d love to have you as my honored guest on Sunday, April 7th for an tele-party called “Your Soul Hour”

 

It’s free and you can come get a mini-reading or ask a question to your Spirit Guides/the Angels to help you get on track for Spring!

Do you undervalue yourself?

/4 Comments/in , /by

“I worked for a menial’s hire,

Only to learn dismayed,

That any wage I had asked of Life,

Life would have willingly paid.”

-Jessie B Rittenhouse

 

I first read that quote in Napolean Hill’s Think and Grow Rich and everytime I re-read it, I find something new (great quotes do that!).

 

Have you ever done any of the following?

 

  • Said YES to a friend’s request for a favor even when you really wanted to say NO but you were too afraid?
  • Said YES to the first offer in a job that know you’re overqualified for but you are too afraid to counter-offer and command what you really know you’re worth?
  • Said YES to a lover or spouse and done something (or accepted some kind of behavior) that made you feel less than or frustrated afterwards?

 

If you say YES to any of those, chances are you are undervaluing yourself in some area of your life. (By the way, you’re not alone in this camp. The reason I wrote those examples is because I’ve said YES to all three in the past and I know how soul-sucking it can be!)

 

As it relates to your most important relationships, are there places where you see your energy being leaked simply because it’s too scary to rock the boat?

 

You’ll notice a common theme in all those 3 questions above: FEAR.

 

Fear of not being liked.

 

Fear of losing something or someone (sometimes before you even have it!)

 

Fear of confrontation and not being loved for who you are.

 

But I don’t want to focus on fear. You are a highly conscious, intuitive being (I love you!) and it’s so easy for us to focus on releasing fears, over-processing and putting energy into how to fix something when my opinion is this:

 

What if….

 

What if there was nothing for you to fix?

 

What if instead you chose to put your focus on ACCEPTANCE and truly loving yourself?

 

What if you felt afraid and did it anyway?

 

What’s the worst thing that could be possibly happen?

 

If we go back to the quote at the top, “…any wage I had asked of Life,

Life would have willingly paid.”  I have to ask you the scary question:

 

What kind of WAGE do you WANT?

 

And when you think about your most precious relationships, WAGE = The qualities of how you intend to be treated and treat others.

 

Example: Respected, harmonious communication, powerful, sexy…you get it, right?

 

See, most people want the Universe to give them a big ole HANDOUT because they are too lazy to take personal responsibility for their failure to say what it is that they WANT in the first place!

 

The ones like you reading this know better. If you know what you want and you ASK for it, you’re 100000X more likely to actually get it than the person who says, “I don’t know. You decide Universe. Whatever. (But if I don’t like it, I’ll blame you!)

 

(You can tell this subject gets me riled up!)

 

Take Action: Your Turn!

 

So, I’m curious.

 

1) What is YOUR desired relationship wage?

 

2) If you’re brave, post your top 3 adjectives that describe how you intend to be treated/treat others using the leave a comment at the bottom of this post.

 

3) I love you (that’s not an action, but I just wanted to remind you of that!)

 

ps:

If you want to DRAMATICALLY increase your chances of being respected, heard and have relationships with the people in your life that people will envy, I’d LOVE to have you in my brand-new class “What’s My Spirit Realm: How to Rock Your Relationships and Become a Master Communicator!” starting next week!

 

Check it out here:

Have a fabulous rest of your week/start to SPRING and I look forward to reading your “Relationship Wage” adjectives!

 

Love and Blessings,

 

Diana
