Alone for the Holidays? Guest Post from Arielle Ford

/

If you’re single this holiday season, here’s a three-step guide for making it a super-special time of year from my friend and colleague Arielle Ford, author of The Soulmate Secret. Now here are Arielle’s tips.
What do Do if You’re Alone this Holiday Season by Arielle Ford
First, for those of you who are sad, depressed, angry, or resigned to the thought you will always be alone, let me offer you a very short exercise.
1) Get out the egg timer and set it for 5 minutes.
2) For 5 minutes close your eyes and dive deep into the feelings you are feeling don’t resist on any level, just allow yourself too embrace the full (possibly unpleasant) experience of your sadness, anger, doubt, etc. Look and see where in your body the feelings reside, feel them and then see if you can feel them even more intensely.
3) Breathe deeply during this process and with each exhale, breathe out the emotion while silently saying to yourself thank you and goodbye. Chances are before the 5 minutes are up, all or most of these feelings will have dissipated. This is because you have stopped “resisting” feeling those feelings and you allowed yourself to be fully present with what was true for you in that moment.
Second: Now, get out your journal and make a list of three things you can accomplish between now and the end of the year that will make someone else’s life better. This can be anything from taking an elderly neighbor shopping, to serving food at a shelter, to a variety of random acts of kindness.
My favorite line from A Course In Miracles is this: “The only thing that can be lacking in any situation is that which you are not giving.” Want more love? Give love. You get the idea.
Finally, decide to create a memento of this holiday season that you will GIVE to your soulmate someday. It can be a special letter, photographs, a scrap-book or, my favorite, get out your video camera and make a short film that shows where you went and what you did for Holiday 2010 that you will want to share with him or her. This is an excellent way to “live as-if.”
P.S. Another very powerful solution for the blues is tapping. If you’ve never heard of Tapping before you’re going to be blown away at how powerful it is. Tapping is a technique that combines ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology with startling results. It’s used and recommended by leading experts such as Jack Canfield, Joe Vitale, Cheryl Richardson, Deepak Chopra, and many others (including me!). If you’re looking to release unpleasant emotions, create prosperity, clarity, energy focus, better physical and emotional health and much, much more, check this out. I use it EVERY DAY!

From Size 14 to Size 10: Natalie Ledwell’s Amazing Mind Movies Story — Great Holiday Gift

/

Wouldn’t it be great to just watch a short video and then watch your body shrink?
Are you frustrated that you haven’t lost weight or achieved your other dreams and goals yet even though you’ve been following the Law of Attraction?
You just have to learn some amazing stories here, because you can achieve remarkable successes using a revolutionary technique, called Mind Movies.
You see, a few days ago, for the finale of my Sweeter Holiday Summit — which presented a whopping 38+ programs — I had the pleasure of interviewing Natalie Ledwell, co-founder of Mind Movies 2.0, along with her business partner Ryan Higgins.
Natalie_ledwell In case you don’t know yet, a Mind Movie is a visualization tool…a short 3 minute video or digital vision board…a picture of your perfect life which is a combination of positive, present tense affirmations, reinforced with powerful photos and images and your most emotionally inspiring music.
You’ll learr how Natalie, a successful business woman, who has operated several different businesses with her husband, Glen Ledwell, has been working hard to make Mind Movies 2.0 a huge success, but in the process the weight piled on.
So what did she do? She created her own Mind Movie and watched the weight slide off.
In this Sweeter Holiday Summit finale program, which you can listen to below as my gift, you’ll discover:
* How Natalie used Mind Movies to go from what seemed to be an insurmountable goal – going from a dress size 14 to size 10 in 7 weeks.
* Why people who believe in the Law of Attraction don’t achieve their dreams.
* What led to the development of Mind Movies?
* Some amazing stories about people who’ve used Mind Movies.
* How Natalie’s successes led her to create an educational, easy-to-follow, effective success program called “7 Secrets to Happiness” to help anyone adopt right habits to achieve any goal they set.
What did you think of this program? Wasn’t Natalie inspiring? (FYI, please see Disclosures here.)

As a grad of the student of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), it’s my pleasure to spread the word about this amazing school, which has a fabulous mission.
The school seeks to play a crucial role in improving health and happiness, and through that process, create a ripple effect that transforms the world.
