Life Coach Mary Enterprises | SoulFULLY Living

WELCOME to Issue #2 of SoulFULLY Living!

Last week's issue was FULL of features and "Soulful Challenges". As with all of our challenges, take the ones that inspire you, and disregard the others. SoulFULLY Living is about supporting you in living a more fulfilling life, not an overwhelming one. We purposely gave you LOTS last week, for the comprehensive overview. Over the next month or so, we'll "experiment" with the delivery and amount of content......to provide you with maximum value in a palatable and enjoyable format. As always your feedback is welcomed and appreciated.As follow up from last week......

Did you "Adopt-the-Emotion" of JOY last week? How much JOY did you experience? Did you focus on acknowledging and appreciating those you love? Did you drink more WATER last week?
Did you move 21 items?

This week read about "5 Minutes of Doing Nothing" and "Smiling at Strangers"..... We'd love to hear what results come from any "Soulful Challenge" you chose this week or last. Thank you to those of you who are sharing SoulFULLY Living with your friends, so they may subscribe as well. And, enjoy this issue of SoulFULLY Living. Warmly, Mary Allen, CPCC Founder and Creator of Soulfully Living, Professional Life Coach and Life Enthusiast. PS - If you live in the Los Angeles area...you may want to attend the "Clearing to Create" Workshop April 26-28th with BIJAN. His work has significantly impacted my life. Living from states of PEACE is the predominant theme of his work. Mention Soulfully Living to receive $100 off. Visit www.EffortlessProsperity.com.

5 Minutes of "Doing" Nothing - As a coach, I work with numerous over-achieving clients, who are super "doers". Yet, amidst all the success, they desire more balance in their lives and are intrigued with the idea of "being" more. BEING meaning...connecting more to yourself...or your soul. Perhaps you, too, desire more balance and more of that divine connection to YOU. The good news is, it's easy to begin integrating "beingness" into your life. And, every client who has embarked on this exercise has experienced an immediate positive impact.

SOULFUL CHALLENGE: Take 5 Minutes each day for the next week, and do "nothing". Just spend time BEING. That means, clear away the thoughts, clear away the action and just be. No books, no journaling, no sleeping, NO THINKING. Nothing. Just BE. That's it. Too simple. Well, yes and no.Yes, it's relatively simple to find 5 minutes out of your 24 hours a day to set aside for yourself. Can you do it? Absolutely. The real question is WILL you actually take those 5 minutes for yourself - each day - for a whole week? Deciding to go for it is the easy part. The clients that have taken on this seemingly innocent task, tap into a new sense of awareness. At first, clients realize how much "chitter-chatter" is going on inside their brains, and how challenging it is to turn OFF the chatter. Clients also realize how 'programmed' they are to do, do, do, and go, go, go. Doing "nothing" may seem more challenging than doing "doing". You may feel this also. Yet, as you stay with the process, and let go of the "doingness" and just BE, you will begin to experience an array of benefits, including a greater sense of peace, expanded sense of time and personal insight. Taking control of these 5 minutes is the first step in taking control of your life. Soon "beingness" will begin to play a larger role in your life. I don't want to spoil all the surprises for you.

Experience 5 Minutes of BEINGNESS for yourself. And, feel free to email me about your experience.

Reza's Magic Moment - 11/11/02 - "We have done a pretty good job of shielding our sons Kian (age 4) and Ash (age 1) from the news coverage of the 9/11 tragedy.....last night as we watched Animal Planet, during a commercial, Animal Planet talked about an 800 number for the victims of the tragedy and asked for everyone's help during the difficult times.....Kian looked at me and said, "Dad, I am sad. I think something sad happened, they need help..." It really touched my heart, seeing the compassion in Kian's eyes....and, he hadn't even seen the tragedy. Kian has seen us help the needy, so I asked him to remember back to when we helped those in need. I told him, "Now there are others in need of help".... and I assured him all are helping them......."

Our little ones can feel what's happening in the world............

Smiling at Strangers - I can't tell you how many countless times I've found myself grocery shopping or in the mall feeling like a grouch not wanting to talk with anyone at all. I'd tell myself, "it's too big of a hassle to 'be nice' and friendly, or I didn't have the TIME or energy. Fiddlesticks. After years of this unfulfilling practice, I decided this wasn't a true reflection of who I really am. I consider myself a loving human being, and I genuinely care about people. This old behavior was a poor reflection of me, AND it didn't make me feel good. So, I created a new practice when roaming with strangers, clerks and salespeople on my shopping excursions and errands.

SMILING and being warm, friendly and open. That's it. Simple, and extremely fulfilling. Even the grouchiest of clerks can't help but feel happier after a momentary flash of pearly whites aimed at their heart. I continue to be amazed at how responsive and warm, strangers are to a genuine smile. And, what was once an "effort", is now a natural and happens automatically (well, MOST of the time).

SOULFUL CHALLENGE: Smile at Strangers for a week. For the many extroverts reading this, you probably already do this. I commend you..and, there is always another level. Go for it! For those of you who can relate to the original "shut-down, grouchy state" I talked about, GIVE IT A TRY. What have you got to lose? Smiles are free.
