"LiveBIG!" Monthly e-Letter
Issue 2 - 2010 (copied for web)
Note from Rebecca
February is such an exciting month! Not only is it my birthday - hooray(!) - it is also the month of luurve.... AND to top it off, the month to launch my fresh-look e-letter!
You'll see that I am now focusing on three key areas, namely YOUR LIFE, YOUR CAREER and YOUR SKILLS. Every month you'll get some fresh ideas and tips to make all three the successes you want them to be.
More news.... it just keeps coming! For those of you who scour my website, you'll know that a brand new 'ABOUT US' page has been posted. I thought it was about time I shared my own journey, what I am 'all about', and who I do my best work with. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
Have a fabulous February!
Love and fulfillment,
Rebecca
P.S. The last bit of news is that I've got a new 3 minute video up and live. Click here to watch it!Your Life:
A Simple Trick Using the Power of Laughter!
When was the last time you rolled around with laughter?
The kind of laughter that you thought would make you burst?
The kind of laughter where you struggled to draw breath?
The kind of laughter that was so infectious, everyone around you was guffawing too, without really knowing why?
I hope that's made you smile!
As well as releasing a host of happy hormones, or endorphins, a good hearty laugh also reduces the level of stress hormones in your body and so boosts the effectiveness of your immune system.
So with only benefits to gain, wouldn't it be wonderful to enjoy those sensations more often?
And you can... with a simple trick.
Think about a time when you felt really happy, where you were rolling around laughing. Just recalling this memory will probably make you laugh (or smile).
Let the memory take over. Think about all the details. Ramp up the colours so that they are vibrant and bright. Just before the feeling 'peaks' I'd like you to take your hand and hold onto your opposite wrist. Hold on until the happy feeling starts to subside and then release your wrist.
Now let's see what happens when you touch your wrist again...
Were you able to bring that happy feeling back again?
Welldone! What you have created is a basic 'anchor'. Any time you want to, you can touch your wrist again and trigger that happy feeling. And if you really want to take advantage of this trick, layer the anchor with other happy memories and experiences and you'll create a super-powerful anchor!
This is a great technique if you need to change your state to become more positive or need a confidence boost before a big event. Simply hold onto your wrist to trigger your anchor and flood your body with happy endorphins!

How Present Are You?
There are countless studies that demonstrate how much 'presenteeism' costs business.
"What IS 'presenteeism'?" I hear you ask. If you are at work but spend a lot of time scrolling through facebook; chit-chatting about American Idol; or staring blankly at your computer screen then you are physically 'present' but not mentally so.
We can all 'do mindlessness' from time to time but this lack of engagement doesn't just cost companies - you lose out too.
When I used to work in the corporate world, I certainly welcomed doses of 'presenteeism' to give me some respite from my daily tasks. I have since realised that the reason, certainly for my own 'mindlessness' at the time, was the lack of fulfilment my job gave me.
Now, as my work involves either helping clients to achieve their goals or developing my own business, my passion and enthusiasm ooze out of every pore. There is no need for respite, there is no need for 'a breather'... by finding my purpose, I have fulfilment and as a consequence, enjoy a conscious mindFULness in all that I do.
If you find yourself spending far too much time pushing your pencil around your desk; find excuses to avoid going to work; are dashing off for too many cigarette breaks; or making extra chocolate runs for your workmates, I'd ask yourself this one simple question:
Is it ACCEPTABLE that I am ALLOWING my time to be spent this way?
If it is, that's fine. Only you can choose to make a change if you want it.
If it isn't ok and you want to fill your time with projects, tasks and opportunities that excite you, thrill you, make you want to jump out of bed in the morning, and feel completely absorbed and passionate about what you do... then how about booking an Introductory Coaching session with me to explore who you really are and what you really want to do for a living.
You spend a third of your life at work - wouldn't it be wonderful if that time gave you much greater fulfilment and you looked forward to each and every instalment?
