Theta Healing techniques reprogram the unconscious mind — identifying and unblocking belief systems that prevent enhanced wellness.
Confidence is so important for the small business owner. I don’t have the time or the luxury of getting ‘stuck’, especially in these challenging economic times.
Like so many people, I experienced difficulties during childhood and young adulthood that had a profound impact on my life as an adult. As some point, however, I realized I had gone as far as I could and I would need help to continue on a positive, confident path of growth.
I chose Theta healing to help me do this. I met with a local Theta healer who informed me the color of my ‘aura’ indicated deep-seated, soul level pain. She told me I would need to let go to move forward, and that some of that pain I was carrying was the sympathy I felt for the pain my loved ones experienced. This was not my responsibility to carry. I deserved to be happy and healthy and to welcome all the good things life offered me. It was time to shed the perceived guilts of childhood, and stop forever the unhappy ‘tape’ playing in my head, which originated with the negative comments of others.
As a big fan of therapeutic massage, I especially liked smelling the incense, seeing the flickering the candles, and getting into the ‘zone’ during my session.
At the end of the first session, I felt calmer, lighter, and renewed in some strange way. Of course, for Theta healing to work well, you must be ready to believe, shed negative perceptions, be receptive to positivity, feel the energy of letting go, and be prepared to heal. It can take some work to get to this point, before your first session can occur.
At any rate, I’m a believer! My advice is to try it and see if Theta healing is the key to your happiness.

The following articles explain in more detail the importance of setting personal-, and career goals, the benefits of setting these goals, how you achieve them and how you thrive on achieving the goals of your dreams.

I have listed a few ideas on why goal setting is essential to live the life you desire.

Setting goals

• Motivate us to get up every morning and to go to bed in the evening
• Help finding your life purpose
• Help to keep our work-life balance
• Help us dream up our perfect life
• Inspire us to work towards our goals
• Make us feel happy and energised
• Help us cope with daily stress at work and in our private lives better
• Help us to overcome obstacles, e.g. losing your job
• Are good to build up confidence and self-esteem
• Give us direction in life so that we know where we are heading to
• Give us the feeling as if we are more in control of our current life
• Help us being more pro-active in our daily lives
• Help us to stay positive

Successful people are motivated, passionate, inspired and committed in achieving their goals. Let us take a look at the following example:

The other day I walked into the Papa John’s pizza take away in my  hometown to buy one of the deliciously hand-made Papa John’s pizzas. While waiting for the pizza to be baked I read the following note in the shop window showing a smiling “Papa” John Schnatter  photo: In 1983, John Schnatter sold his beloved Camaro Z28 for USD 1600 and bought his first pizza oven with the money, and began selling pizza. Thanks to his passion, vision and commitment to his business Papa John’s is the third largest pizza franchise worldwide.

Let us have a closer look at how you can achieve your goals and live the life you desire.

1. Re-evaluate your life at present

Before we set the goals for our future we have to assess our present situation.

What is your life like right now?  What have you achieved so far? How,  satisfied are you? What do you want from life?

Think about the different areas in your life: Home/family, career, social life, relationships, finances, health and fitness and spiritual growth. Score all those areas with 1 to 10. Number 1 is the lowest the most unsatisfied area in your life and naturally 10 would be the highest and most happiest area. Any area that scores less than 5 would need your attention first. Those are the areas with the least balance in your life and those would need improving first.

If you have more than one goal break them down into several small goals. Your goals will be easily manageable and you will stay motivated to achieve them.

I give you one tip: Write down your goals into a journal or piece of paper in present tense. It gives you the feeling as if you have achieved your goal already. By writing down your goals you also memorize them. And it is some kind of mission statement which you should read at least twice a day.

Set yourself a target date for each goal. To have a target date for each goal makes you work harder and stay focused on each of them. Look at short-term goals, medium-term goals as well as long-term goals.

What would you like to achieve within the next 3 months? What would you like to achieve within the next 3 years and so on.

Think  about what resources are available to you to achieve your goals? Internet, books, self-help groups, the council, friends, family and colleagues.

Maybe you should engage a life coach?

Reward yourself for every little stepping stone you have achieved towards your goal. Let us take  the example with losing weight. With every 3 lbs you lose you buy yourself a little present: a book or the earings you saw in the department store. Just have a hot bath or go to the cinema or cook a delicious meal for your friend and yourself.

Are the goals you want to achieve your goals?

Very often I hear people say that they should lose weight or they should study a certain subject at university.  If you say that you should or must do something then the goal you have is not your goal at all. It might be your parent’s goal or a friend’s goal.

Do you want to achieve that specific goal? What do you really want?

Once you have realized that the goal you are trying to accomplish is not your own goal you can make the necessary changes.

I once met a young doctor who studied medicine like her parents and her brother. Her parents are practicing doctors and so is her brother. She felt obliged to study medicine and step into her shoes. She struggled with her studies and almost failed in her exams. After a few years of being a doctor she realized that she never wanted to be one. She made her parents’ goal her goal. She was unhappy with her life and decided to change it. She consulted a life coach to find her direction in life.

Whilst working towards your  goals I suggest that you write a gratitude journal with all the things you are grateful for.

For example: Today I am grateful for having the most beautiful cat in the world. Or: Today I am grateful for the teamspirit among my colleagues. The list is endless. You can mention that you are grateful for the cosy property you have, that you are grateful for your health.

Recording your grateful moments in life gives you the incentive to work on those desired goals in life. Because once you have achieved them you will be able to be grateful of those too.

Imagine the following situation:

You have worked a nine hour day, you are totally stressed, tired, you had an  argument with a colleague, you didn’t meet the deadline and your boss told you off for it. Then you get stuck in traffic and your stomach screems food. You finally arrive at home and all you find in your fridge is healthy veggies, chicken and a healthy yoghurt. But you are craving a very unhealthy pizza and a bottle of wine. And you just want to sit back, relax and watch TV.

It is ok to eat the occasional take away and drink wine of any other alcohol with it. But if your emotions take over your daily eating habits it can cause a problem.

Buying take aways, tons of sweets and pastries can cut a deep hole into your money pocket in the long run.

Not only your health  and your body image will start to change but also your self-confidence and self -esteem will suffer. You will be aware of your weight gain when you try on new clothes in a department store, when size 12 has become size 14 or larger. Your sex life also suffers because you are aware of the change in size of your body.

Here is an action plan that helps:

• For one week make a note of what you eat, when you eat it and how do your feel while eating it.
• When you feel your apetite for eating comfort food then try to distract yourself by calling a friend, reading a good book, meditation, having a hot bath, listen to your favourite music, going for walk or drinking a herbal tea.
• Try to avoid drinking too much coffee. Caffeine stimulates apetite and large amounts of coffee can cause stress. And stress activates emotional eating.
• Visualize yourself slim. Take a magazine and cut out  a slim person and glue your passport photo over her head. Place the photo with the slimmer you on your fridge where you always can see yourself as a slimmer person.
• Reward yourself for cutting down on emotional eating and losing weight by going to the cinema, having a new haircut, a manicure or buy the book everyone is talking about.
