This introductory talk is based on the book by Susan Jeffers, PhD.  The book and our two day workshop based on it are truly life transforming.

Andy & Di are Keynote Speakers at The Divorce Show

We will be appearing at The Divorce Show as keynote speakers on September 11-13th at The NEC, Birmingham, where we are also delighted to announce a world first!! We are launching a brand new workshop: ‘The Feel The Fear Guide to Lasting Love‘ based on the excellent work of Susan Jeffers in her book of the same name, plus top advice from Susan’s other relationship books: ‘Dare To Connect’ and ‘Opening Our Hearts To Men’. As licensed and approved trainers for Susan’s most famous book ‘Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway®’ and as experienced relationship coaches in our own right, we are delighted to be able to bring you Susan’s unique, insightful and invaluable views on relationships.

The UK has one of the world’s highest rates of divorce, with around 140,000 married couples going through it each year. For some, it can be a relief. But for very many, it is a shattering ordeal. The Divorce Show 2009 is the UK’s largest national event dedicated to delivering a wealth of information, helpful advice and practical resources for those simply questioning their marital status or wanting to repair a relationship breakdown to those initiating divorce or beginning life again after legal separation.

Do you feel like life happens to you?

So many of us feel like life happens to us and we have little choice and control.

This is only as true as you believe it to be. It is our beliefs that create our reality. There are few absolute truths. It has been said that the only two certainties in life are death and taxes. I know quite a few who seem to escape the latter!

Just look at the word belief. Look closely – be[LIE]f.

Every belief we have is not absolute. It is just our perception. It contains a lie; because every belief can be changed.

Four years ago I discovered myself. I found out that I had a great set of values, lots of skills, the potential to contribute and play much more full out in life… and yet I had a crappy set of beliefs that were limiting my experience of life and my potential for achievement and fulfilment. My beliefs even prevented me from enjoying what was, in the moment, the here and now, so my potential for enjoyment and fulfilment was postponed – postponed to a point in the future that simply was not going to exist with those crappy beliefs.

I have learned how to change all of this now. Our ‘Feel the Fear And Do It Anyway®’ workshop is licensed and approved by Susan Jeffers PhD, author of the international best selling book of the same name. This workshop has changed hundreds of lives, the book hundreds of thousands. It is the most influential workshop that I know of and have experienced – so many of our clients say the very same thing.

Meeting Susan Jeffers

We met up with Susan Jeffers, her husband Mark and their other trainers from the UK and Ireland, in London last week. It was great fun. Susan is an amazing lady; Mark is great too.

Your Cosmic Identity

I absolutely love this quote from Marianne Williamson, which I came across in Susan Jeffers‘ brilliant book: ‘The Feel The Fear Guide To Lasting Love‘. Marianne’s quote comes from a lecture entitled ‘All I Give Is Given To Myself’.

“If you live your life on the basis of a trashy novel, the Universe will follow suit. But if you live life as a cosmic identity, like someone who matters, then the universe will take you seriously”.

This is totally what the Law of Attraction is all about. You have to take yourself seriously before the universe will. You have to be authentic and find your true cosmic identity in order to he in alignment with the universal laws and flow of abundance.

Read more about how to take yourself seriously and manage your energy and your state here.
