Prosperity Spell 101

I don’t usually go in for the “magic” behind the stuff I do.  I much prefer the psychology and the brain science behind it. 

But sometimes I come across something that works with - no explanation - but it’s so good that there’s no reason to fight it!

How to Learn About Your Business by Moving Shelves

Back in early February – when I should have been planning the next few months for my business – I got it into my head that I wanted to rearrange the shelves in my office.  I wanted to make room for the fabulous gift my husband and the kids got me for Christmas – a faux fireplace.

The problem was, it’d never fit with the extra shelf.

Ritual helps with all sorts of transitions.  I use it to ease one of the hardest transitions I face - the one that comes at the end of every month:  the beginning of a NEW month.

Here's how ritual can help you move gently from one month to another...

How To Stay Focused on A Long-Term Project

Often I undertake projects that call for extended work –
  • a writing project that will unfold over any number of days or weeks 
  • a business planning retreat
  • a class I’m taking over a number of weeks 

There is a threat (a nerve-wracking, energy-sapping threat) of losing focus, of not being able to follow through and see it through to the end.

Sheer will power is not a strong point of mine.

I stumbled upon a solution many years ago.

How to Clear Your Head to Dream

I just got done leading another of the Virtual Business Retreats that I’ve been doing every couple of months with these great groups of women.  

I mentioned how I’ve been feeling pinched in my dreaming and envisioning lately, how everything I think up goes crashing into a mental brick wall with the words YEAH, BUT written on it.

They all seemed to know exactly what I was talking about.

I’ve taken up hula hooping.  Shhhh!  Don’t tell anyone.  It’s a secret.  It’s MY thing.  I’m not ready for people to know.

And here’s why:  I’m terrible at it.

Supporting Your Business in the New Year

As far as spiritual practices go, you can’t ask for a better one that entrepreneurship.  Owning your own business does everything a spiritual practice should – you get to know yourself, come up against your growing edges.  It can be the most rewarding thing in the world.

It can also be the most frustrating, confusing and lonely…

Which is why I’m leading a Virtual Business Retreat February 10th – 14th!



You can get all the details and sign up for it over here!

Maybe this January you’re feeling called to begin the practice of starting your own little business (maybe even a “jobby” – somewhere between a job and a hobby as my husband used to lovingly refer to my work) then this retreat is for you.

Maybe you’re feeling called to “get serious” about your business this year – this retreat is for you.

Because whether you’re a beginning entrepreneur, established business owner or, like me, transitioning in between and desperately in need of a plan to help structure the day, the material covered in this retreat is meant to meet you where you are in your business, no matter where you are in your business.

Again, all those juicy details can be found over here…

Finding Focus

by Deborah Globus
It’s a rainy morning here on Long Island and all my Monday Morning/beginning of the week stuff is going all wrong. 
 
Instead of making me feel as though there’s a clear path ahead of me, all I feel is a sense of dread – pressure on my heart and a pinching as if there’s too much to do and none of it anything I’d really care to do.

Sometimes a different approach is needed…

Like a Pebble on My Heart - a mini ritual

2/21/2013

by Deborah Globus
Yesterday, a friend and I were talking about our businesses and she said how impressed she was by my productivity of late.  

Suddenly, I felt a little weight on my heart – just a pebble, but there it was.  A little fear.

The question that makes me quake, the one I usually spend enormous amounts of energy suppressing, crept into my mind: Yes, I’m productive now but what if I can’t keep it up?  What if it all slips away…again?

Transitioning

Transitioning is hard.  

Any kindergarten teacher worth their weight knows this.  Moving between one activity and another, one time and another, takes time in and of itself.  

That in-between time is called: transition.

Transition trips people up.  Even this once kindergarten teacher who knows in her bones how vitally important it is to navigate transitions mindfully.
