How Do You ‘DO’ Your Emotions?

They say that awareness is the first key to change. Well, once you understand how you, personally, ‘do’ your emotions, it’s much easier to press pause and reclaim your power to choose which emotions to experience. Let’s start with 3 short videos to give you insight – and to empower you to choose which emotions you want to experience.

From Day 1: What on earth IS an emotion, anyway? And it’s probably not what you think it is.

First Aid Techniques For Difficult Emotions

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][heading]

IMPORTANT: If you are suffering from really strong emotions – or symptoms of clinical depression – PLEASE seek urgent support from your chosen medical professional, before trying to self-treat with these techniques. The information in this course is intended to complement, not substitute for, professional one-to-one advice.

[/heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][image_with_animation image_url=”16704″ animation=”Fade In” img_link_target=”_self”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]

Did you know that the way you’re sitting can make you feel tired and miserable?

Want to test it out?

Sit down for a moment and slouch.
Really get that slopping seating position where your head is verging on doing a nodding dog impression. Yes… that’s it.
Now frown. Look really grumpy. Notice how you’re feeling?

Ready for the contrast?

Sit up straight and smile!
Sit up as straight as is comfortable for you, lift your chin slightly and scrunch up your eyes tightly for 3 seconds before opening them again – that releases the tension around our eyes, which we need to do before the next bit.
Now: gently allow the corners of your mouth to turn upwards, ever-so-slightly, then a little bit more.
You are now smiling! Not a lame little smirk. We’re talking full-on smiles – teeth and all, if that’s your thing. Smile with your eyes, smile with your mouth. Smile with your heart. Think ‘smiley’ thoughts. Feel the lift as you do it for a full 60 seconds.

Now let it go and notice what you notice.
Chances are you’ll be feeling better. Your face should feel more relaxed, your mood should have lifted and you should be aware that you are generally feeling more positive.

How did that feel?
It doesn’t matter if you fake it at first, it works!

Sometimes it can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that we have nothing to smile about, but smiling can be transformational and it can be an amazing way to cut your stress levels and dump life’s drama. And smiling mindfully means you’ll benefit even more from it.
The sympathetic nervous system is our fight or flight response – the primal part of the brain – which is responsible for short term survival-style decisions, which diverts fuel from non-essential bodily processes and organs, to help give you the energy to escape from imminent danger. It’s the bit we drag into action when we’re feeling stressed, which floods your system with stress hormones. The parasympathetic nervous system is all about relaxation and allowing your cells to carry on with their vital health-giving moment-to-moment tasks.
When you smile you trigger the endorphins that rebalance those two systems dramatically cutting the stress levels in your body.

Smiling, even if you’re not in the mood, triggers the release of the body’s happy chemicals, which cheer you up.
Your body doesn’t care whether it’s a real smile or a fake one. If we do it for 30-60 seconds, the hormones start flooding round the body and the happier feeling grows, so the smile soon becomes real!
So if you want an instant mood lift, get smiling.

Wisdom & Insight From The World Of Yoga, Meditation, Mindfulness

Whether you’re an old pro or a total newbie, these fabulous techniques can help you to shift challenging emotions in less time than it takes for a kettle to boil – and most of them can even be done in the loos at work!

Belly Breathing!

This deep yogic breath helps you to re-train yourself to breathe in a healthy way (from your belly, not your shoulders!) and can energise you, also helping you to think more clearly.

Getting Grounded

Most of us are so stuck ‘living in our heads’ that we’re scarcely ‘here’. This breathing technique helps you get grounded and instantly de-stress, by releasing those challenging emotions and re-oxygenating the body and mind.

Spirituality: You Don’t Have To Ditch It At The Door To Your Office (7 Things You Could Do Today That No One But You Will Spot!)

Inspirational Messages

When was the last time your got your spirituality out and plonked it on your desk at work?

Or do you hide it in a secret inside filing cabinet, dutifully unpacking it when you get home?

It’s a challenge that so many of us face when we’re on a spiritual path: at some level we are scared of appearing to be ‘spiritual’ at work.

Maybe people will judge us. Maybe they’ll laugh at us. Maybe they won’t take us seriously. Maybe they’ll avoid us. Maybe they’ll write us off as ‘woo woo’. Maybe you’ll miss that promotion. Maybe you’ll scare off that dream client and lose the contract.

So instead we pretend to be the person we used to be, before we fell in love with meditation or yoga or mindfulness or whatever other practices keep us going when it’s dark and rainy. And that ‘pretending’, even if it’s not conscious, sets up an inner conflict where you are judging and rejecting yourself for wanting to live consciously, from your heart.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Your business NEEDS you to be spiritual at work.

Whether you’re running a mega-empire or working a check-out till in a store, your business, your customers and your colleagues all secretly need you to be a shining light, to be living from your heart and to be clearing out your personal ‘stuff’ – just the kind of thing that falls into place when you’re aligned, consciously, with your spiritual path – your dharma.

Business success is about relationships, clear-thinking, a good dollop of intuition, passion, inner calm and the dedication to keep going, even when you’re not in the mood (called ‘abhyasa’ in Ancient times!). And you know that your spiritual practices can sky-rocket all of those qualities.

So here are seven ways you could effortlessly weave your favourite spiritual techniques into a busy work-day – and they’ll actually increase your likelihood of being productive, calm, intuitive, fun to be around and getting that promotion or contract.

Say ‘namaste’ to everyone you meet
The divine within me honours and respects the divine within you. It’s kinda hard to imagine having an all-out row with someone when you start from that point. But it doesn’t mean you’re lining yourself up to be a door mat, either. ‘Namaste’ is about heart-based connection and gentle eye contact (not psycho-style piercing stares!). Done with confidence, the other person will feel the connection and you might be amazed how much better the meeting will run.
And if someone DOES decide to behave like a total arse, remember it’s most likely not about you – all criticism comes of someone else’s pain – and they need your compassion (and clear boundaries!), not your judgement and rejection.

Choose which thoughts to feed
Just because you’re at work doesn’t mean you have to indulge your inner Drama Queen 😉 Yes, she might love getting down with the gossip at lunchtimes, but if it’s not something you do any more at home, there’s no need to do it at work. And as for the stories we tell ourselves about stress and worries, you can ALWAYS choose which thoughts to feed – and which stories to tell yourself. How about choosing instead to feed the thoughts about meetings going well, there being plenty of time, projects being successful and you loving your work…? And if you genuinely can’t tell yourself those stories, then maybe it’s time for a career change?

Get here – now!
Come on… We know it in our hearts… Multi-tasking is the enemy of being in the present moment and – researchers have now proven – efficiency and productivity. And that mindfulness could be your new best friend. How about retraining yourself to focus on just one task at a time, so you can be present and mindful while you’re doing it? Oh – and doing that completer-finisher thing that so many of us find so hard. It’s great for your performance in the office – and it’s also good spiritual training for keeping going when you’re maybe not in the mood 😉

Ask yourself one of my favourite questions:
This is a fab question for your spiritual development, as it helps you to let go of the projection from your Monkey Mind / Ego and to connect with your Soul’s view of the situation:

“What is REAL here, right now?”

When you focus on what is real, truth, fact, rather than what is drama, story and assumption, it realigns you with your deeper wisdom. And it can be a rocket booster for your problem solving ability and negotiating skills at work, as well as cutting your stress levels.

Go and hide in the loos
Do a micro-meditation! Five minutes of meditation (I’m not trying to get you fired for skiving off!) can help you to de-stress, feel calmer, get more clarity of thinking and reconnect with what’s actually important in life. Belly breathing is a brilliant option for this because it rebalances your nervous system, gets you out of stress-based upper chest breathing and is so simply (and invisible) that you could do it at your desk or in a meeting and it’s unlikely that anyone would spot it. If you’d like a quick reminder, here’s a 5 minute belly breathing meditation you might enjoy.

Know how to connect with your intuition – your Soul’s wisdom.
It’s different for each of us, but common themes are relaxing, going for even a short walk in nature or specific pranayama breathing practices. If we’re creative, then most of these ideas can be done at work, just as easily as they can at home. And just imagine how it would shift your performance if you practice connecting with your intuition whenever you need it!

Say THANK YOU!
Gratitude isn’t just something you can do at home. If you sprinkle gratitude minutes throughout your day at work, not only will you shift your mood, but you’ll also find more things to feel grateful for. Remember: gratitude is a way of resetting your inner radar to spot what’s great about life, rather than whinging about what’s wrong. So it’s especially important if you’re in a job that you’re not in love with. If you’re new to gratitude practices, you might enjoy my free 7 Day Gratitude Kick Start course.

I hope those ideas have inspired you – and I’ve got a bonus technique for you, too:

Smile
Smiling releases tension. Jaw-clenching is a classic problem at work and it is unconsciously perceived as a sign of aggression by others in meetings, even if you don’t mean it that way and smiling fixes this. It floods your system with endorphins, lifts your mood and is usually contagious.
If you’re worried about your colleagues thinking you’re a Loony Tunes character or have popped one too many happy pills, smile with your eyes and your heart instead. It might sound silly, but it works – it’s your intention that your body reads, not what you do with your mouth.

That’s it for today! I’d love to hear your top tips for being spiritual at work. Is it something you have had a problem with? What might you do differently now? And if you’re an old pro, how about sharing your top advice via the comments?

And if you’d love to connect with like-minded souls who are into Soul-Sizing their lives, wherever and whenever, then join us today for Dancing In Your Soul-Shoes – you get regular members-only ‘how to’ videos and articles, as well as membership of our gorgeous private FB group. And it’s free – my gift to you!

With love, Namaste,

P.S. I’ll be doing an article soon about 10 great yoga poses you can do at your desk or in the bathroom at work, to refresh your mind and recharge your soul. If you’d like to make sure you get it, please grab your copy of my weekly newsletter.

The Antidote To Feeling Tired All The Time!

Are you fed up with dragging yourself out of bed in the mornings? With pushing yourself through the day, propped up by a mixture of caffeine and sugar, before stumbling into bed, exhausted, way later than you planned?

Have you had enough of feeling Tired All The Time Yet?

I know how you feel.

The first time I remember feeling ‘TATT’ was in my early 20s. And it’s something I perfected over the subsequent decades, as I pushed myself harder and harder, wearing myself out as I gave to my work, my kids, my home, my commitments, but rarely to myself.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

No matter how busy you are, you can turn things around. And you can start today – in fact, starting in the next few minutes.

Of course, there can be underlying physiological causes to tiredness – and these shouldn’t be ignored – but while you’re figuring out whether or not your chosen medical practitioner should be involved, there’s plenty you can do to help yourself.

And it’s easy, when you know how.

And that’s exactly what I would LOVE to share with you, over the next six weeks.

Could You Help Me? I’m Looking For 20 Beta-Testers!

So many of my readers have asked for help with overwhelm and exhaustion – but I don’t have time to work one-to-one with everyone! So I am creating a six week virtual mentoring programme to help you make a tangible improvement to your energy levels – and to dramatically cut your stress levels – in just a few minutes a day.

I’m looking for 20 people to step up and work with me as Beta-testers – diving in and making the most of this programme, whilst also giving me feedback and letting me know their questions, so I can make the programme as brilliant as I can for future customers.

Is this for you?

Are you fed up with feeling stressed and tired?

Do you genuinely want to improve your energy levels?

Could you create 1/2 hour, twice a week, plus 5 minutes a day? (I can help you on that!)

Would you like a one-off chance to work with me in a group mentoring environment, getting personal support and answers to your energy-level and stress-relief questions?

Would you like to be part of creating something amazing that could change the lives of thousands of people?

Yes? Then here’s how to apply:

This programme is not free – even the Beta-testers need to have made a commitment to themselves, so that your unconscious mind will know you mean it this time!

And the Beta-testers also get to work with me in our private Facebook group, getting a good dose of mentoring, in addition to the course. This is most likely the only time I will run this programme this way – in future it will be run as a peer-support self-study programme. So if you’re even vaguely tempted, now is the time to dive in and take action!

To work through this one-to-one would cost upwards of £1,000. I want to make it affordable for as many people as possible, whilst still delivering the quality you deserve, so the regular price when this course launches in early 2015 will be £147.

However, to thank the Beta-testers for taking the time to give me feedback on this new programme, not only do you get the once-only group mentoring experience (which would normally be a £297+ programme), instead of just peer-support, but you are able to apply today for just £47.

That’s about $75 USD.

There are just 20 places available. Once those places are full, they’re full, and doors will close until the public programme launches in early 2015.

So if you really want to shift your energy levels – and work with me, live, in this group mentoring phase – then here’s where to register now:

Whistle-Stop Tour Of What We’ll Be Covering

Each week we’ll cover another aspect of de-stressing, de-cluttering your life, finding more time and rebuilding your energy levels. There will be a range of MP3s, worksheets, videos and other resources, which you can easily fit in around your schedule.

Plus there will be supportive discussions over in our forum – and I’m there to answer your questions.

As you’d expect from one of my courses, it’s going to be an inspiring blend of NLP (the ‘User Manual’ for your brain), meditation, mindfulness, practical common sense (courtesy of my Inner Engineer!), light-hearted fun and insider secrets work for real people, with busy lives, not just hermits in caves!

Week 1: How To Relax!
This long-forgotten skill is the key to rebuilding your energy levels – and it doesn’t have to be anywhere near as hard as you might think.

Week 2: Is It Time To Change Your Mind About Your Body?
Discover how you could be ‘eating yourself miserable’ – and what to do about it – plus create instant shifts in the way you are nurturing yourself (or not!).

Week 3: It’s FINALLY Time To Tackle Those Body Stories
Your body FEELS everything you THINK – and that’s one of the major reasons you’ve been feeling so exhausted. Find out how to turn this around and use it to your advantage.

Week 4: Let’s Deal With The Elephant In The Room
I don’t want to spoil the surprise on this one, but it’s finally time to deal with the one thing that has stopped you from regaining your energy levels in the past! Woo hoo!

Week 5: Learning To Listen To Your Body
When you crack this one, not only does it help you to pace yourself and conserve your energy, but it has the suprising side effect of reconnecting you with your deeper intuition – and I want to make it easy for you.

Week 6: Personal Action Plan
In our final week, we’ll dive in and co-create your Personal Action Plan to make sure these changes are life-long – and not just for Christmas!

Bonus: How To Find The Time
This 4 part Masterclass is yours, as my gift, to help make it easy for you to find the time to be part of this programme.

It would be an honour to share this journey with you – if that’s what your heart is calling you to do.

With love, Namaste,

If this isn’t for you just now, that’s cool! If you’d like to be first in the queue when the main programme goes live next year – or just to stay in touch – please make sure you’re getting my free newsletter by registering below. xx Clare

New Workshop Date: “I Am Abundant!” Retreat

Woo hoo! So excited to announce a new workshop date for my life-changing “I Am Abundant!” retreat.

Join me on Tuesday 23rd September & Wednesday 24th September from 9 till 4pm – with a bonus evening integration session on Thursday 2nd October 2014 (which will be available as a recording for anyone who can’t join us live).

On the “I Am Abundant!” retreat you will get to FINALLY release the hidden blocks that are sabotaging your health, happiness, vitality, energy levels, relationships and success!

Over the 3 sessions, I share with you an inspired blend of NLP (‘practical ‘psychology’), demystified Ancient Wisdom and meditation and mindfulness techniques – all having been through my Inner Engineer’s BS filter and delicately seasoned with a dollop of humour.

If you’re feeling fed up with:

feeling that there should be more to life than this…
playing small, instead of living your dreams
trying hard, but just don’t get the breakthroughs you’ve been dreaming of, no matter which ‘formula’ you use or how many affirmations you throw at it
seeing yourself sabotaging your success, your relationships and your happiness…

… then this retreat is for you!

By the end of the retreat you’ll be feeling happier, less stressed, more in alignment with your life’s purpose AND totally energised, as you have released countless Abundance blocks and literally cleared the vibration in each and every cell of your body!

You’ll be on track to consciously create the life you have been dreaming of – and to inspire others to do the same!

Refreshments and lunch are provided. (Vegetarian, gluten & sugar-free)

All you need to bring is yourself, an open mind and the sense of excited anticipation that comes from knowing you’re about to take a leap into the unknown – and that wherever you land is going to be fantastic!

Meditation For Managers

So you’re an entrpreneur or a busy business manager and you keep hearing about what a good idea meditation is, but you’re telling yourself that you don’t have time to meditate – or that it’s just for hippies – or that you’ll do it when you retire…

I know how that feels – I’ve been there.

But I’m curious: is there a single entrpreneur or business manager who wouldn’t like:

to feel less stressed?
to think more clearly and be able to concentrate better?
to worry less?
to sleep better and feel less tired?
to feel calmer and happier?
to have flashes of brilliant inspiration?
to have life fall into place and feel less of an effort – to get more done in less time?
to calm your mind and tame your Inner Critic?

All of these – and many more – are benefits of a daily meditation practice.

And you don’t have to disappear off into a cave and pretend to be a yogi, sitting for days on end, before you notice the effects.

As little as ten minutes a day of meditation can make a huge difference – when you know how.

If this sounds like something that would be worth you carving out ten minutes a day for, then here’s how you could get started today:

With love, Namaste,

P.S. I know my stuff on this. As a reformed Mechanical Engineer, everything I teach has been through my Inner Engineer’s BS radar, so you get what works – without fluff.

I’ve been a certified NLP Trainer for over a decade, which means I have been trained in how to teach – both at a conscious and subconscious (accelerated learning ‘make-it-super-easy-for-you’ level).

I’m also a formally qualified Meditation Teacher and the author of 2 books on how to meditate and how to weave mindfulness practices into busy lives. I have helped many thousands of people on their meditation journeys.

Plus I’m also a busy mum to 3 young boys, as well as being the Training Director of Beyond Alchemy Ltd. So I know what it’s like to be busy and – yes – I wouldn’t give up my daily meditation time. It keeps me sane 🙂

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Your business NEEDS you to be spiritual at work.

Are you fed up with dragging yourself out of bed in the mornings? With pushing yourself through the day, propped up by a mixture of caffeine and sugar, before stumbling into bed, exhausted, way later than you planned?

Have you had enough of feeling Tired All The Time Yet?

I know how you feel. The first time I remember feeling ‘TATT’ was in my early 20s. And it’s something I perfected over the subsequent decades, as I pushed myself harder and harder, wearing myself out as I gave to my work, my kids, my home, my commitments, but rarely to myself.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

And that’s exactly what I would LOVE to share with you, over the next six weeks.
