Problem was with no business experience would people take her seriously? Lindsay joined us to share her amazing story.

Valentines Day is more than just an excuse to buy candy for those you love, its an opportunity to love yourself. Kathy Andersen gives us a helpful guide to do just that in her latest blog post for The Troy Show.

This Valentine’s Day, Be Your Most Cherished Valentine!

This Card is For You!

            “The secret to my own happiness, my own good future, is within my own hands. 

I must not miss that opportunity!” are the inspired words of the Dalai Lama.

            Likewise, the secret to our own love is within our hands. This Valentine’s Day, take the love that is within your hands, and cherish yourself among all others.

            Why? For the same reason you are instructed during a plane’s safety briefing to place the oxygen mask first on yourself, then on another. Love is the oxygen of your life. Without first filling yourself with your own love, you cannot authentically give love. Most importantly, you cannot attract the authentic love that will take you to your greatest heights!

            So how, on this Valentine’s Day, can you take some steps to be your most cherished Valentine?

1.   Write Yourself a Valentine’s Card!

This sounds simple enough, but just like writing a heartfelt Hallmark to the love in your life, writing an authentic love letter to yourself takes a little time, a lot of honesty, and a world of courage. Are you daring enough to proclaim your love for yourself? Start here!

My Valentine’s Card to Me:

To my most cherished and loved [Your Name Here],

You are the love of my life.

No-one knows the depths of me as you do.

No-one feels the passions that lie within as you do.

No-one sees me naked as you do.

No-one longs for me to emerge from a tiny seed to infinite beauty as you do.

No-one wishes for me to have abundance, love, and happiness as you do.

The ten things I cherish and love about you are:

[Make your list of ten things].

Today and every day, I will love and honor you by bringing one of the things I love about you into my day.

I will celebrate you.

I will hold you.

I will smile at you.

I will be kind and gentle to you.

I will look into your eyes and tell you how much I love all that you are.

I will speak to you and encourage you to chase your dreams and become all you are here to be.

2.  Make a Love Commitment to You. You Deserve It!

            For each of the the ten things you cherish and love about yourself, list at least one thing you can do in your day to bring that one thing into your life, and show your love for you.

            Commit to making just one act of love to yourself each day for 30 days, and you will have created a habit that you will never want to break!

            Why? Just like the need others in your life have to feel your love—a friend, a family member, your children, your spouse, your partner— “you,” more than anyone, need to feel your love for you. You are a child of the universe, a seed of God, a divine being. Who is more deserving of your love?

“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection,” said the Buddha.

3.  Share Your Love With The One You Love!

            Create the time on Valentine’s Day to “pause” and share the ten things you love about yourself with your partner, spouse, or even your best friend. And, make it a two-way affair! Have your partner do the same, and you will give each other one of the greatest gifts of love—the mutual sharing of the most precious things within each of you.    

            Just as important, share the ways you will bring each of the things you love about you into your life every day.

4.  Make A Love Commitment to Each Other!

            Commit to helping each other bring the things you love into your lives every day. Be an accountability partner for the love of your life, and for the love you want to bring into your life.

            Exchange your “love lists” with your accountability partner and check in with each other each day—perhaps in the morning, during the day, or at the end of your day. You must choose to “pause” and create the space for you, for the love you have, and the love you desire.

5.  Complete Yourself!

            We often speak of our partners and those we love as “completing us.” Yet, we are the only ones who can act to complete ourselves.

            Our partners, best friends, and those we most love can support us as we journey to be “complete,” to love ourselves, to bring our gifts of love into the world, and to manifest in our lives all that we are here to create through our being. We must choose to leap into the journey. We must act to take each step. We must fill our shoes with the love that will fuel our journey.

            Each day, keep taking just one step. Each day, know that within you is all you need to create all you desire around you.    

            Each day, choose to be your most cherished and loved Valentine, and become your most complete!

“Love is the greatest refreshment in life.”

The Troy Show is honored to have Kathy Andersen write for our blog. Her first entry goes a long with an episode we aired a few weeks back. "New Years Resolutions"..We want YOU to master your life in 2013. Here is your guide...

 

New Years Resolutions Can Be Your Greatest Way to

Leap into Success!

By:Kathy Andersen

The secret to making and keeping great resolutions is to “pause,” step away from the busyness around you, and ask yourself three questions.

1.  What makes you feel most passionate and purposeful?   

TIP: Allow yourself the freedom and space for your greatest passions and most purposeful pursuits to awaken and rise from the depths of you—those things that fill you with excitement, “goosebumps,” and make you feel your most “alive.”  Don’t hold back—give yourself permission to go wild with your passions! These are often the things that are lost in the busyness that fills our days, and that we put aside as “guilty indulgences,” rather than savor as the essential food that fuels our journey through life.

2.  What is the vision for your life?

TIP: Allow your vision to be inspired by your passions and most purposeful pursuits. What would your ideal life look like if it were driven by your passions and purpose? What would surround you? What activities would fill your days? Where would you be? What would you be creating that you could look back upon and say you have spent your life well and used your gifts to the fullest?

3.  If you think of the backpack you need to carry through life to equip you on the path to your vision, which things do you currently carry that no longer serve you and you can leave behind, and which new things do you need to pack that will most help you on your journey ahead?

TIP: Allow yourself to feel the things that weigh you down in your life and drain you of energy. Write them down and find a way to release them from your life. Allow yourself to crave the things you want to take with you as you journey forward. Write them down and find a way to bring them into your life.

The Key Outcome—Your Resolve:

Reflect on your answers above and ask yourself one final question:

What is the one thing you can do today to step closer to where you want to be?

That simple? Yes, that simple!

Resolve to find just one thing you can do today to incorporate your passion and purpose into your day.

Resolve to find the one thing you can do to step closer to your vision.

Resolve to find the one thing can you do to repack the backpack of your life.

If you can give yourself the gift of a pause each day, and resolve to find just one thing you can do in this day, and gift that to yourself every day, you will transform all that is within you, and and all that manifests around you. The resolutions you create for yourself each day will become your greatest steps to success, and soon enough, you will manifest your greatest life.

Essentials To Keeping Your Resolutions:

1.  Commit to 30 days of “one daily resolve.” Before you know it, you will have created the habit of tapping into the most powerful things within you and bringing them into your life every day!

2.  Don’t allow your focus on outcomes stop you from taking the one step you are compelled to take! Simply allow yourself to follow your instincts and desires. When you take steps guided by your inner compass, you will arrive at the right destination, often beyond the outcome you could have imagined, on the journey to fulfill your vision!

3.  Keep it simple! Your one step each day can be the smallest and simplest next step. Don’t create steps that are too big and overwhelming to take in the day you have. Some days you will feel like leaping mountains—do it! Other days you will feel like taking a baby step—take it! Just take one step. The rest will come.

4.  Think of your day as your most delicious recipe. As you discover steps that you want to keep in every day, make time to keep them in each day! Think of them as the essential ingredients in the recipe of your best day. It may be exercising, eating a healthy breakfast, reading some pages of the next book you want to read, taking a quiet walk—things that bring you peace and solitude, that enable your passions to keep rising, your purpose to be strengthened, and your spirit to be renewed.

5.  Be your best and kindest friend. Treat yourself well. Give yourself a break. Trust all that is within you. Know that you are here to be your best self and to live your greatest life!
