It was a great experience, complete</div> <div> with a fun hair & makeup session at George, the</div> <div> salon at the Four Season's Hotel in DC - special</div> <div> thanks to Ismail & Carl who made me look super</div> <div> polished - a "ready for TV" version of my usual</div> <div> self. :) [Carl did Alanis Morrisette's makeup for</div> <div> her recent DC concert- so I know I was in</div> <div> very capable hands.]</div> <bR> <div> Anyway, so this month's issue focuses on fear and </div> <div> whether your fear is keeping you small. Fear</div> <div> is the number one reason that more great things</div> <div> aren't more frequently accomplished.</div> <bR> <div> And if you do happen to see me on TV - I'd</div> <div> love to hear from you (my own personal</div> <div> TV tracking process).</div> <bR> <div> I hope you enjoy this issue and see you next month!</div> <bR> <div> Warmly,</div> <div> Rachna</div> <bR> <div> &*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&</div> <bR> <div> Is your fear keeping you small?</div> <div> (c) 2005 Dr. Rachna D. Jain</div> <div> All Rights in All Media Reserved</div> <bR> <div> In speaking with my coaching clients over the past month one</div> <div> concept which keeps showing up is that of fear.</div> <bR> <div> Fear is our way of slowing down the progress we're making</div> <div> and sometimes this can be a good thing. Certainly, a healthy</div> <div> amount of fear can keep us safer, more secure, and can keep</div> <div> us from taking rash action.</div> <bR> <div> However, there are times when fear also acts to keep us</div> <div> small to keep us from stepping fully into our own greatness</div> <div> and truly owning our life and the success we create in it.</div> <bR> <div> What are some cues that fear is keeping you small? First,</div> <div> you have a persistent dream that you never seem to quite</div> <div> reach. You keep coming close but never quite get there. You</div> <div> feel frustrated and upset about this.</div> <bR> <div> Second, your dream or goal matters - a lot - and you don't</div> <div> feel you can give up on it (even though you so far haven't</div> <div> found a way to attain it).</div> <bR> <div> Third, you feel some discomfort or uncertainty about the</div> <div> consequences of your own success. You aren't sure if you can</div> <div> handle the extra attention, extra demands or extra</div> <div> responsibility that being successful will bring you.</div> <bR> <div> So what to do if you find that fear is keeping you small?</div> <bR> <div> 1) Get support. Join with a friend, colleague, or team to</div> <div> help you reach your goal.</div> <bR> <div> 2) Use the smallest unit to get going. Find the smallest</div> <div> action you can take and then take it.</div> <bR> <div> 3) Work on it regularly. Once a day or a week, spend at</div> <div> least 15-20 minutes acting on your dream or goal.</div> <bR> <div> 4) Be inspired. Surround yourself with information about</div> <div> people who achieved what you desire.</div> <bR> <div> 5) Feel the fear but don't let it stop you. When you find</div> <div> the fear is pulling you back, talk yourself through it.</div> <div> Recognize that the fear has the right to speak, but that you</div> <div> don't necessarily have to listen.</div> <bR> <div> You want what you want precisely because it is possible for</div> <div> you to have.</div> <bR> <div> In closing, let me share one of my favorite poems related to</div> <div> this topic:</div> <bR> <div> Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.</div> <div> Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond</div> <div> measure.</div> <bR> <div> It is our light, not our darkness, that most</div> <div> frightens us.</div> <bR> <div> We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,</div> <div> gorgeous, talented and fabulous?</div> <bR> <div> Actually, who are you not to be?</div> <div> You are a child of God.</div> <bR> <div> Your playing small does not serve the world.</div> <bR> <div> There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other</div> <div> people won't feel insecure around you.</div> <bR> <div> We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is</div> <div> within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.</div> <bR> <div> And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give</div> <div> other people permission to do the same.</div> <bR> <div> As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence</div> <div> automatically liberates others.</div> <bR> <div> Marianne Williamson, "A Return to Love"</div> <bR> <div> &*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&</div> <bR> <div> Opportunities & Resources</div> <bR> <div> *37 Ways to Improve Your Relationship*</div> <bR> <div> Check out this new resource for tips on how</div> <div> to keep your connection strong and your relationship</div> <div> growing-for less than $0.33 each!
