How To Make Decisions from True Choice… Not Fear

In this Post..

* True Choice Meditation for Decision Making
* Upcoming 3 Day Come Fly With Me Bootcamp-

Making Decisions from True Choice rather than Fear

We often struggle with decisions because our head can get in the way. We analyze them to death and then never take action. Or we make choices out of fear instead.

The True Choice Meditation is a powerful meditation practice that I use frequently for tapping into my intuition, or my inner knowingness, to make difficult decisions.

To help yourself decide if your choices are coming from true choice, guilt or fear, ask yourself, the following questions.

* What is the purpose of this activity?
* Who will benefit from this task?
* Am I doing it out of true choice or habit?
* Is the action I’m taking working toward my bigger goals?

Now sit or lie down in a quiet place and close your eyes. Take deep breaths until your body relaxes and your mind is clear. Now visualize yourself doing this activity.
Now ask yourself the following questions:

* What sensations are you feeling in your body when you see yourself doing this activity?
* Do any emotions arise?
* Do I feel fear, nausea, perspiration or shakiness when I think of myself living this choice?
* Does the activity work with or against my inner knowingness, personal beliefs or big-picture goals?

The sensations in your body are strong clues as to whether you are making a fitting decision or not. Your body is communicating something to you, and if you really take the time to listen, your intuition or inner wisdom will give you the answer you need. Just listen. You will often hear or feel, “I don’t want this anymore,” or “This feels right.” You might feel excited butterflies or a lightness, which may mean that this is a good decision. If you feel pain, a suffocating sensation or a sickening feeling, this decision may be working against your true self.  The trick is that you not only have to listen to your inner wisdom, you also need to follow its lead.

5 POWERFUL STEPS TO FREE YOU FROM YOUR FEARS!

Regardless of how successful you are, you have fear. Why? Because you are human. Yet, the difference between someone that reaches their dreams and someone that doesn’t is that one has the willingness to face and walk through their fears to get to the sweet side of accomplishment. Fear can be gripping and often hold you back from living a limitless existence. Read more »

My Secrets of Success: Tips on Entrepreneurship, Relationships, Parenthood & Living Adventurously. Part 2

I have so many tips that I am excited share with you in My Secrets to Success Series. The toughest decision is what to share next! I just returned from a three-day long weekend getaway with my husband and my creative juices are over flowing. Which leads me this very important newsflash:

Tip # 2:  If  You Want To Be Successful In Business (and relationships and parenthood for that matter) TAKE LOTS OF VACATIONS!

Yes, taking time away from work and daily responsibilities is one of the best things you can do for your business, your health, your sanity and your creativity. Coming from a self-proclaimed life-a-holic that loves her work, her marriage, her family and her fun (not necessarily in that order), I have found that the more time I take away from the office, the more inventive, inspired and jazzed about my work I become.

I know the feeling. Work is piling up on my desk, there are phone calls to return, e-mails to respond to, Facebook posts to make. I love it all and feel very blessed to live my calling and work with the most fabulous clients on the planet. However, there comes a time every few months (or even weeks) where my brain hits overload status. And I mean overload. Thoughts, queries and requests are flying in the direction of my brain looking for an intelligible and high-alert, problem-solving response. Then, all the sudden, I realize I have absolutely no brain cells left to fire back to the inquirer. I used to wait until I hit this proverbial wall to realize I was beyond my deadline for a vacation. Not anymore.

Now I plan ahead and I use my time away as a life and business booster.  Why? Read more »

My Secrets of Success: Tips on Entrepreneurship, Relationships, Motherhood and Living Adventurously. Part 1

I am often asked, “how do you do it, Allison? How do you create success in your life?” I had to really meditate on these questions when I began life and business coaching. Honestly, I had created a success system in my life through running 9 businesses, creating joy in my life, finding my soulmate and staying healthy and fit without much awareness of the steps or practices I was taking. They had become second nature, like an evolved rhythm that had caught it’s stride through time and experience. It’s kind of like driving a car. Once you master the basics and get some driving experience, you do not question where the gas peddle is, or how to find park on your stick shift. You just do it. (Parallel parking is another story!) But when I began teaching and mentoring, I couldn’t say, “I don’t know. I just do it.”  So I spent a great deal of time dissecting my unconscious thoughts, behaviors, actions, wins and losses, (yes, losses are a valuable part of the journey) to create my signature step-by-step strategies Read more »

If You Had No Fear, How High Would You Fly?

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU KNEW YOU COULD NOT FAIL?

• Would you venture out on a new career or start a new business?
• Would you stop choosing unhealthy relationships?
• Would you stop settling in life because you finally realize you deserve better?
• Would you face the issues in your relationship and do what it takes to make it the best ever?
• Would you re-kindle that childhood dream and finally make it a reality?
• Would you finally figure out what your passion is and bring it into your everyday life?
• Would you challenge yourself to increase your finances to a whole new level?
• Would you walk away from all the drama in your life?
• Would you choose happiness over worry, anger and grief?

THE HARM IS IN YOUR HEAD

Believe it or not, your life could completely transform if you began to walk through the fear and make completely new and healthy choices The only harm upon you are the thoughts of fear swimming in your head like a whirlpool. The mental torture that grips you is the most painful reality of all.

Yes. Your biggest fears are merely a figment of your delusional reality!

You have either adopted someone else’s fear, watched it on television, or you were raised in a home that shared the fear freely. If each anticipated obstacle

Dreams Really Do Come True….

Bear with me. This is not my usual inspirational post. I felt the need to share a bit of good news…

I am still spinning from last week’s Blast Off book launch and touched so deeply by your incredible outpouring of support. As we watched the stats climb on January 19th to #1 on the best seller list in several categories on Amazon US and Canada (including entrepreneurial and hot new releases- entrepreneurial), and hit the best seller list in Motivational and Success books on Amazon US, Canada and UK. I was jumping up and down and screaming like a kid on her 5th birthday!  The experience has been completely surreal. Literally, a dream come true.

I assure you that this would not have happened without you. I can write all day long, but if no one buys my book and reads it, my words will just sit on the page and not impact anyone.

www.myblastoff.com/booklaunch

After 2 years of intense dedication to my Blast Off book, Workbook and Blastation software, it has been incredibly gratifying to get this phenomenal response. We often put our heart and soul into something, (and some blood, sweat and tears), and wonder if anything will come of it. So allow me be a mirror for you. If you stick with your dream, and give it the passion and effort it needs to grow, you will flourish in your personal life, your work, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It is not about the money. It is not about the accolades. It is about the personal satisfaction you’ll receive from giving your very best effort, regardless of the outcome. The rest is the cherry on top.

I just wanted to send you a giant heartfelt thank you. As I said before, the power of a group moves mountains, and in this case, Mount Everest shifted at least a mile! Now I cannot wait to hear your thoughts once you read my book, and hopefully lots of great personal and professional stories of change. Please send me a note. I truly hope Blast Off! lights a fire under your feet to take action and embrace your life goals and visions.

Here is what one reader just e-mailed me:

“ I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful book! It is fantastic, inspirational and presented in a way that I think all readers will understand, regardless of their journey. I am sure your book will touch many people’s lives.”  ~ Julie Santella

If you have not purchased my book, Blast Off!, yet, you can still receive the over 20 amazing bonus gifts until Friday, January 29th. The top authors and coaches that teamed up with me for my launch were so blown away by the response that it was not hard to twist their arms to extend their amazing offer a few more days. Just click this link below for your copy and valuable gifts.

PS. I am headed on a cross country book tour in February and March to Phoenix, Charlotte, New York City, Chicago, Seattle and Los Angeles. Pass the word to your friends and relatives in those cities. Join my Facebook Fan Page and check my website for dates and event information. I am looking for someone in each city to head their own Blast Off Launching group. I will be back in San Diego in between each stop to take care of my wonderful homeopathic and coaching clients, and my awesome husband!

Much love and gratitude,

Blast Off To A Brand New Life!

Are there any areas in your life that you are limiting yourself? Be totally honest.  In your career, is there something you would just LOVE to be doing, but have no idea how to make it happen? Or maybe you feel intimidated to even try? What if you knew that your new venture or challenge would be a sure thing. You would go for it. Wouldn’t you?

In your relationship, have you settled in your choices because you’re afraid you might not find anyone better? Do you stay in your current relationship because of fear?

There are 3 key barriers that tend to hold people back from venturing out into the wild blue yonder.

Fear. Fear of failure, fear of success, fear of being judged, fear of the unknown, fear of loss of security, fear of not enjoying your choices…I could go on.

Disconnection from Passion. You know that feeling. The one that fills you up with bubbles of excitement and satisfaction. Often hard to get there when you have felt stuck, held back, trapped for some time.

Lack of direction. You may not be afraid. You may know exactly what you want to do. But you have no idea how to make it happen. This is not an uncommon scenario.

Can you relate? I want to hear from you….tell me your stories.

What if you had a book that helped you solve the mystery to all three barriers? I know where you would be right now.

Dancing in the streets!

In my book, Blast Off! The Surefire Success Plan To Launch Your Dreams Into Reality, that is being released on January 19th, I unlock the mystery of  ”what is holding you back from living the life you truly desire.” Then, together, I help you put one step in front of the other as we devise a new plan. Your very own roadmap to a brand new life.

” Blast Off really helps the reader break through their barriers of fear, guides them to tap into their deeper passions, and then gives them the tools to create a step-by-step roadmap toward their big picture visions in their personal and professional life. Then they know exactly what to do on a daily basis to move these dreams from their head into reality. ~ Allison Maslan

My special gift to you… when you buy my book Blast Off! on January 19th, 2010, you will receive over 20 unbelievably awesome bonus e-books, dvd’s, audio’s, courses from top authors and coaches that have graciously teamed up with me to celebrate this momentous occasion. For only $16.00, the price of my book on Amazon, you will receive hundreds of dollars in coaching, support and guidance. www.myblastoff.com/booklaunch It does not get much better than that!

Is Your Strive For Perfection Choking You?

Are you living your life to the fullest at this moment in time? Do you have the life that you have always dreamed of? If so, congratulations! Meditate a few moments each day on the goodness that you have experienced from your great fortune. If your answer is no, it is never too late to start.

So many of my coaching clients tell me they don’t reach their goals because they want everything perfect before they move forward. They are striving for perfection and it is killing them. What is the point of “perfect” any way? They want a perfectly clean house, to say the perfect words and to do perfect work at all times. Pressure filled expectations are a sure way to turn any goal into a ball and chain. Many people resist attempting new challenges or setting new goals because they are afraid they will not perform up to their ridiculous expectations. The result, Read more »
