Rachna's Note

November 2004

Dear Reader,

Happy November. I hope this issue finds you well and

happy. One of the most important tools that can

assist you in evolving your life, and in being happier,

is the capacity to expand your range. To that purpose,

our new two issues will focus on tools and tips you

can use to expand your range.

This past month has been full of new opportunities

and so I'm a bit out of breath as I've been running

to keep up. I'm looking forward to spending the

Thanksgiving holiday with my family and to, well,

giving thanks!

I wish you all a wonderful holiday and look forward

to reconnecting with you next month.

Warmly,

Rachna

Expanding Your Range Part I

Dr. Rachna D. Jain

For the rest of 2004, we’re going to focus on the idea

of expanding your range. Expanding your range means

moving out of your comfort zone and stepping into a

greater sense of wonder and enthusiasm for what’s

possible for you to attain.

One of the greatest sources of frustration - for all of

us - is really, really wanting something that we don’t

believe we know how to get. This can be a secure

comfortable job, a healthy, loving relationship, a

prosperous business or vibrant good health. The reason

we want anything is because we believe it will make our

lives better. The reason we feel frustrated is because

we feel limited or unable to take the necessary actions

to reach out for what we desire.

This is where the idea of expanding your range comes in

handy. Simply, “expanding your range” means that you

slowly, gradually, start to increase the number of

possible alternatives to attain your goals. Let me offer

an example:

Sarah* really wanted to explore her creative side, maybe

through joining a community theater program. She wanted

a place to “try out” different roles, “try on” different

characters, and wanted to meet a new group of potential

friends. However, she also believed that she was “too shy”,

“too klutzy” and “too plain” to take part in community theater.

So, again, she wanted to attain something that she didn’t

believe she knew how to get.

In our work together, we focused on helping Sarah increase

her range, and how we did this, in part, was by breaking

down the process into small steps. First, Sarah did some

searches for community theaters in her neighborhood. Next,

she went to see some of the plays they put on. Third, she

observed a theater try-out. Fourth, she talked with some

of the actors and learned more about what they liked, what

their fears were, and why they acted in community theater.

At each step, Sarah got more information and more knowledge

which helped her increase both her intellectual under-

standing AND her feeling of emotionally capability - that

this, indeed, might be possible for her, too. The beauty of

this process is that no one step was too overwhelming and

she was able to proceed at a pace that felt right for her.

So how does this apply to you? This month, I’ll ask you to

think ahead to the first quarter of 2005 (I know, I know,

getting started early). Think about what you’d like to

create in the first quarter of 2005, in at least four

areas of your life. Jot these down, along with information

about where you’ll need to expand in order to allow these

goals to show up in your life.

Next month, we’ll talk about how to use these desired

outcomes and expand your range so you can achieve them.
