Rachna's Note

November 2005

Dear Reader,

Wow! I just have to tell you about all these

cool things that have been showing up this

month. First- it's been really fun being

engaged. I like it! and really, really

appreciate those of you who took the time

to write with your congratulations & good

wishes. Thanks!

I'm gearing up to speak at the University

of Maryland in the next few weeks- they've

invited me to present a workshop on Ph.D.

Completion Strategies, so I'm looking forward

to that.

I recently started another newsletter, this

one for graduate students- it's called PhD365,

and focuses on helping readers get their Ph.D.'s

in 365 days. If you, or anyone you know, could

benefit from this resource, check it out at

http://www.CompleteYourDissertation.com

It's been a great month, publicity-wise. In

the next few months, you'll see me quoted

in Parents Magazine, Good Housekeeping,

the January issue of Marie Claire, and the

January issue of Baltimore Magazine. It's

been really fun to share my ideas and

connect with more people through these

sources.

Anyway, this personal note has gotten quite

long, and it's probably time to turn to

the point of the newsletter- this month's

article. This month, we focus on ways you

can increase your personal power. As you'll

see from the article, personal power is

a necessary first step to crafting the

life you want.

I also recommend a resource that I've

benefited from which you might enjoy as well.

Finally, for those celebrating Thanksgiving

this week, I wish you safe & joyful time

with your loved ones. My Dad is making

dinner for all of us (he's a really good cook)

so I can't wait to eat. :)

See you next month!

Rachna

Increasing Your Personal Power

This month, I’ve been hearing a lot about power.

Become more powerful. Shape your body powerful.

The 48 Laws of Power. Power, power everywhere.

But how do you grow your own? One of my clients

came to coaching complaining about a lack of

personal power. Our resulting coaching session

was pretty enlightening. With her permission,

I’m sharing a few of the highlights here- I

think you’ll find them interesting and useful

in your own life.

It appears that personal power comes directly

from a sense of self worth and worthiness- you

have to feel worthy of asking for what you want,

and be willing to accept it when it shows up.

Personal power comes from treating yourself well,

and being in alignment across your thoughts and

behaviors. Self sabotage occurs when our thoughts

are going one way, and our behaviors another.

We all can increase our personal power (and mastery)

when we identify what we like, and pursue it. We

believe we deserve to have what we want.

We tolerate the discomfort of setting boundaries

and putting greater structure into our existing

relationships. We understand that there are certain

frameworks we need to be our best, and we work to

consciously create these in every interaction.

We accumulate personal power over time- with every

goal successfully reached, every improvement in

our self confidence and each time we stretch out

of the familiar into some place new.

And, finally, we can all become more powerful.

It starts by believing we’re worthy, defining

what we want and going directly for it. When

these elements are in place, we become virtually

unstoppable.

This month, I invite you to take steps to actively

grow your personal power- define what you want

for this next month, quarter, or year of your

life- and then go directly for it.

I’d love to hear about what you find.

Rachna Recommends:

Power Pause- a 3 step program to help you

with any life problem. I've found it easy

to use, and it gets results. When you take

time to Power Pause, you increase your personal

power because you get more of all that

you want from life.
