Every step you take, every move you make is creating you. The food you eat, the air you breathe, the things you read, the actions you take are all playing a role in determining what you’ll be like tomorrow or ten years from now.
What are your influences? That’s what we talked about in Helping and Listening Skills this week. We came up with a great list and I liked it so much I took a picture of it.
I asked the students to tell me about the things that influence them. What do they value? Why do they do what they do; love what they love? This is the list they came up with:
Parents
Environment
-Friends
-Neighborhood
-Peers
-Religion
Culture
Schools
Food/Nutrition
Media
Mental Illness
Life Experience
-Observation
Socio-Economic Status ($$$)
Books
Music
Relationships
Friendships
Family
-Uncles
-Aunts
-Brothers
-Sisters
-etc.
Role Model
-Coach
-Minister
-Teacher
Law
Government
Health
Medication/Drugs
Language
Sleep
Fashion
Freedom
Travel
Pets
Sex
Arts
-Pictures
-Painting
-Dance
Entertainment
Perception
The point I want to make in this class is that you cannot know any of these things about yourself or anyone else unless you first learn how to listen.
A great Master Mind group is one that’s committed to honoring and respecting each other and that includes listening unconditionally and without judgment. It is honoring a person to trust that they know what’s best for their own life.
—————
When you think about it, every musical act you know of is using the Master Mind principle whether they realize it or not. They are joining together as a team with a combined vision. You can use the same principle and make some truly rockin’ things happen in your life.
Do you have a creative project you want to complete? Do you want to find a purpose for your life?
If so, I invite you to come over to my brand new page called Start a Master Mind Group.com. I’m offering 4 freebies to get you started so you can get a sense of what the Master Mind is all about.
There’s nothing cool about holding back.

I just watched the interview with Oprah and Sarah Ferguson. For those who don’t know, Sarah Ferguson, Dutchess of York was caught on film orchestrating a plan to compromise the privacy of Prince Andrew.
Sarah Ferguson admits, she was on a downward spiral for many years before she finally hit bottom. She attributes the downfall to a long struggle with perfectionism and self-hate.
Basically, Sarah Ferguson spent 25+ years of her life not feeling “good enough” and eventually the feeling took over her life and lead her on a path of self-destruction.
I have no words of criticism for Sarah Ferguson as I’m sure many do. In fact, her experience mirrors my own and I hope her public testimony serves as a wake up call for the millions of people who are stuck in a similar predicament.
It was approximately 2-3 years ago that I hit a similar bottom, and I had been spiraling “out of control” for many years prior. The cause was the same, constant self-criticism and fear of facing my demons.
Eventually, I had no choice. I faced the demons and began to reconnect with myself; the me I would be if I didn’t care so much about what other people think.
I can now appreciate hitting bottom and I love my re-created life! Everyday I break through more of my fears. Every day I become more “me” and life is filled with joy, creativity and happiness once again.
I am a person who grew up poor. I lived on financial assistance, wore hand-me-downs and got free lunch at school. But for some reason, I was expected to and tried to live up to the standards of a princess. I was drowning in a sea of unrealistic expectations and self-hate. There was always something I thought I could do or say to be “better.”
My interests were things like climbing trees, listening to music and roller skating. I loved to hula-hoop, dance and sing. I didn’t want to be a princess but I did want to be Nadia Komenich or Farrah Fawcett or a roller-derby girl on the L.A. Thunderbirds. My choices were constantly unsupported and I wasn’t strong enough to “do it anyway.”
But now, I am.
Today, hula-hooping, roller skating, roller derby, singing and dancing are a part of my daily life.
I am not afraid to speak my truth. I do it on YouTube, on my blogs (Get Galvanized and icreatehabits.com), on Facebook and on The Sheri and Erin Show. I am finding people who love, honor and cherish me as I am and I’m learning to have the same respect for myself.
I applaud Sarah Ferguson for describing the depths of her self-hate while she is in it. That takes guts. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone to see me on T.V. two years ago. It’s much safer to talk about the problem in retrospect but the real healing comes when you are ready to face what is, right now.
If you are in a sea of self-hate today, you don’t have to be ashamed and you don’t have to stay stuck or get worse. There are ways to break free. A few resources I would like to recommend are:
Hypnosis
The book From Sabotage to Success

Today I was reading The Daily Love and it contained this quote:
“The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might and force of habit. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him-and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires.” – J. Paul Getty.
I thought that was so appropriate for a blog called iCreateHabits.
Many people are unaware that they can break their habits and create new ones. All it takes is a tiny change repeated consistently.
If you need help with creating new habits, I have two resources for you:
1. Free Create the Life You Want Hypnosis MP3 download. This MP3 literally takes you down a mental path so you can visualize leaving the past behind and moving forward to a new future.
2. My book, From Sabotage to Success is filled with worksheets and exercises to help you create new habits.
I believe that Louise Hay’s upcoming book, Experience Your Good Now will also be a fabulous tool for creating new habits. I have had an opportunity to read portions of it and will be receiving an advance copy soon. Click on the banner above to find out more about Louise Hay’s new book today .

My yellow lab is a champ at creating habits. You know why? She pays really good attention and she has a great memory.
When she was a puppy, I used to give her a treat when she could yawn on command. Don’t ask me why, it’s just she was so cute and so smart it seemed like a fun game.
Well, I haven’t given her a treat for yawning for at least a year but still, she continues to do it.
When it comes to creating habits, humans aren’t much different than my yellow lab.
Sometimes a key event that happened in childhood triggers a response in the current day. This can happen even if you live in a new neighborhood, live with different people or work in a different state. You will feel and experience it as if it was 35 years ago.
Let me give you an example. Cindy got slapped across the face every time she was bold or brave or ‘out-of-control’. She was constantly told to “settle down.” On the other hand, she was praised, loved, adored and admired for taking care of other people. Which behaviors do you think Cindy will engage in as a result of this early training?
Chances are she will try to be ‘in control’, meek and shy and will only feel okay about herself when she is helping others. Cindy will do this even if it is self-destructive, because as a child she was paying close attention and the learning took place in a highly significant relationship. Also, since there was trauma associated with this experience, a part of her (even if it’s subconscious) never forgot.
Luckily, you can create new habits at anytime. Once you understand that the past can never be changed, you can use your energy to create a new tomorrow. That’s what my free MP3 download, Create The Life You Want is all about. It was a CD like this one that really helped me to begin turning my life around and I cherish it to this day.

Create The Life You Want is a hypnosis recording that will take you on a journey away from self-sabotage and toward your desires.
The format for this session is based on a real session I had with a live client. She went home from the session and cleared out 25 years of clutter from her home and had it hauled away in dumpsters.
What blocks will you release as a result of listening to this MP3? Subscribe to the blog by entering your name and e-mail address below right now and you’ll find out.
Many of the leaders in self-help, spirituality and even brain research circles agree: you can change your reactions to life as you change your thoughts and activities. This free download will help you to put all of the latest research to practical use. Listen to this hypnosis CD everyday and I guarantee that your life will be improved.
I was influenced by many leaders, teachers and authors over the years, including but not limited to Abraham Hicks, Bob Griswold, Christopher Westra, Bill Harris, Louise Hay, Catherine Ponder, Deepak Choprah, Susan Jeffers, Jack Canfield, James Hyman, Wendi Friesen, Marianne Williamson, Wayne Dyer, Nancy Bonus, Ahman, Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Les Brown and Mark Victor Hansen.
All these experts say the same things:
**Attitude is everything
**Focus on what you want and you’ll get it
**Vibration and energy are more important than thoughts
This all sounded good in theory but sometimes I had trouble knowing how to change my attitude. It seemed like it was out of my control, like my body was calling the shots, not me. Turns out, based on the latest brain research, this isn’t so far from the truth.
Our brains become programmed by repetition and unless we take an active step in our “programming” we will often run on self-destructive auto-pilot. Recordings such as Create The Life You Want help you to re-program your mind, to take charge of your life.
By subscribing to this blog today, you get a free hypnosis download which is a $150 value. You will also receive news about other freebies and great deals on the internet. Just enter your name and e-mail address below.
According to The Secret and The Law of Attraction, it is important to feel good if you want to attract good things to yourself. If you feel bad but try to “think positive” you are practically wasting your time, or at least prolonging the process. I stay up-to-date and current on brain research and studies involving the mind. By subscribing to this blog you have the opportunity to be current on the issues that affect your mental and emotional health.

Ready to get off the diet roller coaster for good? Need help creating new habits for weight maintenance? If so, it might be time to Donate Your Weight.
Donate Your Weight is a program designed specifically for people who are sick of struggling with weight and eating. It’s designed to help you create new habits and live free from yo-yo dieting and food obsession.
The philosophy behind Donate Your Weight is a cross between the behavior modification technique of rewarding desired behaviors and also something I’ll call the ‘Marathon Phenomenon’.
Millions of people have spent inordinate amounts of time training for marathons and raising money for those in need. They are often motivated by either getting in shape, raising funds, or both. The problem is, marathons are generally not healthy for the body long-term and certainly you don’t run marathons once a week or once a month. For most people. once it’s over, it’s over.
With the Donate Your Weight program, you can train your mind and body daily, you can use the money from your reward jar to help those in need and most importantly, as you are doing the strategies and paying yourself real money, you are in the process of creating new habits that are the foundation for life-long weight maintenance.
The name Donate Your Weight has multiple meanings. The program is based on Seven Stress-Free Slimming Strategies that allow you to create a lifestyle of weight maintenance. To help people stay motivated and on track with the Strategies, the program includes a Success Check-list and instructions on how to use a reward bank to you pay yourself real money for successfully achieveing the Strategies. Then, you can use that real money to buy something fun and rewarding for yourself or you can donate it to a good cause.
The word Donate is also more positive and long term than the word ‘Lose’. Nobody likes to lose anything and when we do lose something, we usually try to find it. Being lost or being a loser is never a positive, empowering feeling and we almost never congratulate someone for losing (except when it comes to weight).
An important component of the Donate Your Weight program is to change your negative, limiting mindsets about your body and your ability to succeed. The word donate is associated with letting go of something in a positive way. When you donate something, you do so by choice and you never expect to get it back.
Future blogs will outline each of the Seven Stress-Free Slimming Strategies one by one. Subscribe to the blog if you’re ready to stop the struggle with weight and eating. Each Strategy is proven way to release weight without dieting. The Strategies are actions you can take each day without any negative side-effects.

If you want hands-on support and guidance from program developer, Sheri Zampelli, you can attend the upcoming Stress-Free Slimming workshop series in Long Beach, CA July 27-September 7, 2009. Click here for details.
