Letting go is such a misunderstood term. It just rings with feelings of so much loss for so many of us. No wonder we’re fearful of doing it - I mean who wants to feel like that?

Yet letting go is one of the most important tools you can have for creating a great life, not taking things personally (especially in business), and feeling comfortable in your own skin.

Each spring we often launch into big spring cleaning at the house. We move the couches, clear out the cobwebs and dust bunnies, clean the carpets, tidy up the yard… you get the picture. We launch into action in our physical surroundings which is great, but it is not the whole picture.

What about letting go and spring cleaning inside and out? How often do you consciously clear the cobwebs from your emotional world, your schedule, and your relationships? My guess is not often enough. I say that because I speak from experience!

A very important fact is that: Having a high quality life usually has much more to do with what you let go of or remove from your to-do list than what you add to it.

Do you sometimes get in your own way?

Do you find yourself sabotaging your own best efforts?

Do you find yourself going in the same circle over and over with your goals?

Wonder how you can break free of this fruitless cycle?

Let’s face it reaching our goals can seem so straightforward. Decide what you want, uncover steps to get there, create a plan, and take action. Yet it is rarely that easy. We get in our own way, run into obstacles, and indulge in a myriad of thoughts and behaviors that keep us stuck.

If you’re ready to start breaking out of this cycle this call is for you.

Join me to explore self sabotage and:

• Why we do it
• How we can notice when we’re doing it
• How to move through it
• How to get out of your own way

Here are the details:

What is integrity? The word gets tossed around a lot, but do you know what it really is? Are you clear on what it means to be in integrity? Did you know that integrity is perhaps the most important part of your personal foundation and that without a clear understanding of what integrity means to you you could be living your life like a house of cards?

Why is it so important?

• It holds the key to living a life you feel good about.
• Without it all success feels hollow
• Your reputation with yourself and others relies on it
• Your relationships - with yourself and others - personal and business - count on it.
• It is the foundation and critical success factor for achieving financial freedom.

And the best part of this is it is all within your control. How inspiring is that?!

Do you know why money is important to you? If you’re like most of us you spend plenty of time thinking about, earning, spending, and investing (hopefully) money. Yet, do you know why you do what you do? Or, is your financial life simply random chaos? Is your relationship with money serving you or are your a slave to the almighty greenback?

Recently I wrote a post on Queercents that generated quite a bit of conversation. Once again it confirms the truth that in everyone’s life money is a powerful and emotional topic. Whether you have $5 or $5,000 a month of discretionary income, the reality is it still really matters that you unearth your values. In fact I’d go out on a limb and say that the less money you have and the more struggle you are experiencing with your financial life, the more important it is for you to understand and spend according to your values as much as possible.

Take a moment to imagine 2008 as the year you finally get
comfortable in your own skin and create the life you
want…

Imagine…

You don’t start it like the usual post-holiday train
wreck…

Imagine…

You skip the resolutions…

Imagine…

You make an investment in YOU, in transformation, so you can
be comfortable in your own skin, anytime, anywhere.

What feels possible when you allow yourself to drop into
this imagining? Do you find yourself:

• Completing projects you’ve always wanted to?
• Stepping out and taking a risk you’ve always dreamed of?
• Building more wealth than ever before?
• Living as out, proud and congruent in your personal and professional
  life as you’ve always dreamed you could?

Go ahead… Take a few moments and just bask in that. It’s
possible you know! When you say, “No it’s not” or “Maybe
for someone but not for me” you are saying a big NO to YOU.

And, that doesn’t feel so great, does it?

I hate to break the news to you but no one is coming to save
you in 2008. Not in 2009, 2010 or the foreseeable century
either.

That means it is up to you to create what you want to see.

Want to know the good news?

You CAN! You absolutely CAN! And, it starts at home-inside
of you. I know because I’ve been there. I’ve said NO to my
life for more years than I can count, but I’ve learned how
to say YES and I’ve learned that I have a knack and skill
for teaching and nurturing others to say yes too.

That’s why I’m offering a 5 week Comfortable in Your Own
Skin Intensive starting February 4th, 2008. Nothing else
compares to this 5 week intensive where together we will
delve into the proven step-by-step Comfortable in Your Own
Skin Coaching Process(tm) and I’ll give you the tools and
awareness to learn how to make it work for you in your life.
You can start wherever you are right now — where you are is
perfect — I’ll be personally coaching you the entire way.

Because you are a regular Coaching4Lesbians reader, I want to offer you an Early Bird
Special. The Intensive is priced at $199, but you can sign
up for the full 5 weeks for only $149 if you register by January 15th.

I’m capping enrollment in this class at 10 people to ensure a close
knit fit in the class and ensure everyone gets personal attention.
