I Am Successful
How does it feel to say this to your self? “I am successful.” What thoughts come to mind, feelings or emotions? Does if feel strange or good to say that. Do you believe it? The desire for fame and fortune is likely about feeling love, safe and accepted. We are often conditioned in Western culture that success means primarily financial success, and then anything else we want to add in the mix as secondary and tertiary.

The topics are based on the approaches I use most often with my clients that have statistically significant research behind them. She has already been applying what she has learned in her life and already benefitting from it with more sense of calm and peace.…
