The Manage Your Energy, Master Your Life TeleSummit has now been created!

It’s done! It’s now a living breathing thing!!!! Check it out! http://www.ManageYourEnergyMasterYourLife.com

I designed it because of my personal commitment to giving people tools to change their energy and feel great even when other things (like relationships, $, work, health etc), aren’t so great. My goal is to provide real value and what’s more valuable than our energy!

Energy is the “money” of life!

It’s starting October 24^th (1 week!!!) and involves presentations by 14 Experts (2 each week) who will give specific tools and information about how people can manage/master their personal energy better! It’s all accessible by phone or webcast and whether you listen to 1 or many –they’re all free. Replays will be available for 48 hours at no cost.

During the 7 weeks, these 14 highly-focused “Energy” Experts will:

Demonstrate tools to change negative energy states to positive states at will.

Offer skills to stop energy drains.

Show strategies to master your energy and feel great even when other things in your life aren’t great.

Happiness and Music

November 28, 2014 by Karen Leave a Comment

We all want Happiness:

Here’s a sweet video for you about Happiness. It’s just a few minutes long.

I like it because it shows how ‘happiness’ can be there even in circumstances where we wouldn’t think it might be! (Which is just another ‘story’ the mind tells us.)

Happiness is Always There:

You can use videos like this (there are hundreds on YouTube) to flip the game board of your own mind when it tells you something should ‘make’ you unhappy. Happiness is ALWAYS an inside story. And it’s yours to write!!

The video is s inspiring! To view it, click HERE:

And, just to let you know, I’m in the final stages of writing my new online course, How to Have Big, Beautiful Energy, Even When you feel Small and Frumpy! You’ll be one of the first to know when it goes ‘live’!

Every blessing to you! Be Happy!

The Paradox of Choice

October 6, 2014 by Karen Leave a Comment

I’m reading The Paradox of Choice, Why More is Less by Barry Schwartz. Fascinating book. Schwartz contends there are 2 types of people: “Maximizers” and “Satisficers”.

Let’s say one of each type is out shopping for a sweater. They both have an idea of what they want, but when they find what they are looking for, they act differently. The “Maximizer” thinks, “Oh, this is nice, but maybe I can find it cheaper at another store.” Or, “Maybe there will be one I like better if I keep shopping.” The “Maximizer” doesn’t let him or herself buy the sweater that’s there, but moves on to look further.

The “Satisficer”, on the other hand, sees the sweater and promptly buys it. Why? Because “Satisficers” know that “more” is often “less”. They refuse to be seduced by the idea of a better deal. And if it turns out that something was cheaper somewhere else, they are not upset because they know that chasing after it would cost them time and effort and there’s more to life than a good deal.

I have something else to add. I think that the “Satisficers” of the world might just be happier people who don’t get so much of their happiness from outside themselves–therefore, they would be less likely to give much energy to going for something ‘out there’.

Think about those people who have to have things “just so”. They do that because they believe that will make them feel better. People who already feel good don’t have to bother with all that. They can be happier with what is.

We live in a time of abundant choice. We have all experienced clicking through dozens and dozens of channels on the TV and finding nothing on. Maybe we are finally coming to the realization that more isn’t necessarily better. That would be good– good for the environment and good for our levels of happiness.

If you want some ideas about how to do that more effectively, contact me. email karen

LAST CHANCE FOR A GOOD DEAL:

Last year I took an awesome Website Creation Workshop. Christina Hills ran it and used a tele-seminar format plus videos and handouts to show people how to create and run their own web site. I not only redid my main site, but I created this one. All by myself! And I’m no techie!

If you’d like to make your own site, learn easily how to add photos, audio, video etc, check out this URL. Do it fast, the class starts Tuesday march 30th.

A Powerful Question

October 3, 2014 by Karen Leave a Comment

We ARE what we think about all day long.

If you want to know what you think about, look at your life. Your life is simply the manifestation of all your thoughts over all the years of your life.

If you want your life to be different, you have to THINK differently. This can be a challenge because, as recent studies have shown, the brain is neurologically programmed to notice what isn’t working. In terms of our evolution, this has been a good thing. When you’re in a jungle, you have to look for what’s wrong in order to survive.

Now that we don’t have to keep an eye out for tigers and charging lions, we can step forward into a new way of thinking. This way involves scanning your environment not for what’s wrong, but for what’s right.

As psychologist Martin Seligman, the godfather of the positive psychology moment, has shown, we can learn to be optimists. Optimists consistently talk about what they are rather than what they are not, or what they have instead of what they don’t have. Pessimists talk about why things are not the way they should be and what they don’t have.

If you want to start “inclining the mind” as the Buddhists say, towards what is positive, here is a great tool. Ask yourself this questions throughout your day: “How might this be a good thing?”

This question will get you searching for the positive. It will start training your mind to work the world differently than how it’s been programmed to do. It’s a great start. Let me know how it goes.

Snapshots of Happiness

September 20, 2014 by Karen Leave a Comment

I am exploring tools and techniques for experiencing happiness more. Here’s one I am working with. Try it and see how it works for you. It’s a bit similar to the ‘FreezeFrame’ technique the HeasrtMath people have developed, but this one has a different focus.

Here’s how it goes.

When you are experiencing something pleasant, take an “sensograph” or “energy photograph” of how the event feels in your body. For example, this morning when I was in the shower, I took a “sensograph” of the experience of it in that moment. I heard the pounding sound of the water as it hit my shower cap, I felt the warm water sluicing down my back and arms and how it moved along my hands and fingers, I noticed the feeling of the hot water dribbling down my right ankle and the easy, happy feeling in my belly as all this was happening.

Once I had all the details in focus, I kind of ‘snapped the picture of it by taking in a long slow breath and breathing it into my memory. I know it’s still there because now, when I close my eyes, I can relive it. Just like one can relive a photograph.

I’d love some comment if anyone gives this a try!
