I don’t like New Year’s Resolutions

“Res-o-lu-tion: noun The ability of a device to show an image clearly and with a lot of detail”
I don’t like New Year’s resolutions. I quit making them years ago.
For one thing, if stuff shows up throughout the year that I don’t like, I “resolve” right then and there to put support systems in place to change it. I don’t wait until New Year’s.
Second, for me they carry with them the energy of something I don’t really want to do! I’m not one to do anything I don’t want to. I mean let’s face it, if you really wanted to do it, wouldn’t you have already done it? Why would you need a New Year’s resolution to make you do it?
“But Debra”, I can hear you say, “I really DO want to ______ (you fill in the blank)!”
Great! Let’s acknowledge one thing, resolutions are usually about creating some sort of shift or change in your life (and they are separate and apart from goals). Real change or transformation comes from being able to energetically connect with what you want to create. The way we do that, is through our emotions.
Create a vision of what you want to create that you can get really emotionally excited about!
When you read a resolution that says “I’m going to lose 20 pounds by March.” how does it make you feel? Did you notice heaviness in the pit of your stomach?
What if instead it said “I am on my way to losing 20 pounds and already I have more energy and my pants are getting looser!”?
Notice the difference? WOW! I don’t even have a desire to lose 20 pounds and it still feels really good!
That is an example of a mantra or an affirmation. It is a tool you can use to create any kind of change you want for yourself. And if you use visualization in combination with reading or reciting the mantra on a daily basis, you have a powerful tool to actually, finally, lose that 20 pounds.
One other thing I want to point out, notice how I used the words “I am on my way to losing…” vs. “I have lost…”. That is an example of what Abraham-Hicks refers to as a “bridge” and it is an important element.
It’s a little trick we play with our brain. Since we haven’t lost the weight yet, to state it as if we have can create some resistance; you know, that little voice in your head that says “No you haven’t!”
So in summary, here are the main important elements:
- Make them specific but emotionally exciting
- Use a bridge
- Visualize, I mean really see and feel how your life is going to be different
- Write them down and put them where you can see them daily (mine are on the bathroom mirror, my calendar and my journal)
- Recite them daily to yourself out loud or silently but with emotion!
Still feeling a little stuck? Do you need some help in creating your own mantras?
I’d be happy to brainstorm with you! Drop me an email with a draft of yours or schedule a complimentary “Craft Your Powerful New Year Mantra” phone session (absolutely no strings attached) and I’ll guide you through the process of creating something powerful and unstoppable!

Quick Change!
November 20, 2013
A client of mine, Fatima, came in to see me on Saturday. I asked her to update me on what had happened since we first met a week ago. “I got two new clients!” she exclaimed. “It’s only been a week! And I didn’t even DO anything! I can’t wait to see what comes next!”
I’m always telling prospective clients that when you’re truly ready, transformation can come in a hurry. But it’s always nice to hear it echoed out of the mouths of my clients!
I was having another conversation with a woman this week and she was telling me how she has tried this, that and the other thing and nothing has really “helped me create the kind of change I’m looking for”.
Now, there’s the possibility that she’s not really ready to create change (and there are all sorts of reasons, but that’s another conversation), but let’s assume for a moment that she is.
There are many programs and coaching out there that help you put in systems and structures or new ways of operating or thinking, and while many of them are good in and of themselves (and even necessary), if you don’t deal with the underlying blockage or healing that needs to take place first, it’s always going to feel like something’s missing, and you aren’t going to create real transformation.
I relate it to taking an aspirin for chronic pain. You might get some initial relief, but you’re not really dealing with what is at the root cause of the pain. You’re coping with or managing the pain temporarily, but you’re not really removing the cause of the pain.
In the same way, when things aren’t going well in your personal or professional life, you can apply new techniques or systems or approaches, and while you may see some improvement, you probably are not going to create real transformation. That requires going inward.
The take away that I want you to get here is this, if you are like the woman from the other day who has tried “this, that and the other thing”, and you’re not creating the kind of change you really are seeking, ask yourself “Where am I getting stuck? What have I not been willing to look at?” The answers to those questions can yield BIG change. If you don’t know the answers to those questions, that’s where I come in! Let me guide you in your quest for understanding and connection to yourself. Let me help you get out of your own way! That is what I am here to do.
The other thing I want you to really get from Fatima’s story is that it doesn’t have to be hard and it doesn’t have to take a lot of time. That is the beauty of energy work! It happens with ease. And, when you are truly ready, it can happen quickly!
Together, we can uncover where you are getting stuck, help you remove the energy blockages and give you a set of real-life tools that you can use in-the-moment to shift yourself out of any situation.
A good starting point is my Complimentary Chakra Energy Diagnostics session, which can be done via phone, Skype or in person.
Even if you didn’t do any other work with me, this session alone is so powerful, it has the potential to totally set you on a whole new course of true life fulfillment!
With good energy,
Reflection
October 23, 2013
Picture this. You’ve just completed a large project, a new product launch, a new system roll-out, etc. Or perhaps it was your wedding or a family reunion. It’s over. It was wonderful. But wait, what is that you’re feeling?
I had just such an event about 10 days ago with my first annual Transform & Thrive! retreat for women. Here are a couple of the photos.

It was a great success! The workshops by all the presenters were inspirational, we had an awesome group of women who interacted well with one another, the food was delicious and the weather in Cardiff-by-the-Sea that day was gorgeous. To top it all off, the feedback and reviews from the women included: “It was an awesome conference. Looking forward to the next one.” “Shifted my fearful behavior thinking, a start to a better path.” “What an amazing experience!” “What an eye-opening experience on money!” “Wonderful day – you really took care of us.”
The only suggestions were more time for each speaker and a larger space.
So what’s the problem? How come I felt so empty the next day? “I should be happy!” I kept telling myself. “You should be celebrating!” came the other voice in my head. “You have no right to feel what you’re feeling.” “I know. I know. I should be happy. What is wrong with me?” Then came the guilt.
Are you with me? Can you relate?
Just what is that about? It can be quite hard to connect with at first, and the guilt doesn’t help! All those emotions that don’t make sense; that don’t seem to fit with reality.
Part of it is adrenaline. There’s a lot of excitement, anxiousness, and build-up leading up to the event — all of which create a hormonal soup in your physical body. After the event, the hormones plummet, leaving you with, what is that, is that depression I feel? Hmmmm. “I can’t be depressed! Not after all that!”
Another part of it can be how you process what just occurred. Did you plan for some time to really digest it in full, outside of the emotions and commotion of it all? Or did you just expect you’d pick up your life and move on? And, did you allow yourself the space and time to really celebrate? To relish the experience?
I haven’t had children, so please pardon my comparison here, but I liken it to the birth of a child. First, you have the conception (the original idea), then you have the gestation period (the planning) and then there’s the delivery. Then you have what comes afterwards. They don’t call it postpartum for nothing!
For me, I didn’t anticipate when I interpreted at first to be “negative” feelings. I didn’t recognize it as a mild form of depression; coming down off the “high”. The retreat was over a year in the making. That’s a long gestation!
In addition, I didn’t really celebrate. The day following the event, my husband hopped on a plane for a family event that had been planned in advance. We had both thought that I’d relish the time alone, but in fact that added to the letdown I was feeling. Left to my own devices, I spiraled down the path of looking at all the things I needed to do differently next time.
Lastly, when it’s all over, you’re left with what you started with. You don’t have that “big thing” that’s been consuming your thoughts in recent months. Life is back to normal, whatever that is or was. That can feel a little drab as compared to all the months of planning!
So what have I learned?
1) Be prepared to experience some letdown after it’s over and don’t beat yourself up over it! It’s a perfectly normal, hormonal, physical response!
2) Plan for some down time to move through those feelings and to reflect.
3) Celebrate! Plan a way to celebrate what you have accomplished!
4) Surround yourself with supportive family or friends who can reflect back to you the good and keep you grounded. Make sure that in your review process, that you really spend some time to celebrate the things you did that worked very well.
5) Do something to nurture your soul. Read a juicy book, walk on the beach, get a massage or pedicure — whatever it is for you that feels nurturing and allows you to just “be”.
Bottom line, if you know what to expect, and plan for it, it won’t take you by surprise. Then, you can just move through the process with ease. 😉
Now it’s your turn. What has been your experience? How can you relate? What do you do to nurture yourself? I’d love to hear your thoughts! Please post them below.
3 Ways You Can Celebrate the Fall Equinox
September 19, 2013
In a way, I mourn the arrival of the Fall Equinox because I know that the shorter days are not long behind and I feel so much more alive when the days are long.
I know on a conscious level that it’s all important, those cycles in life that naturally energize you and then slow you down. It’s like we have this internal clock that’s tied to these cycles and we need to either embrace the shift and perhaps allow ourselves to work in a different way or fight against it and try to work at the same energetic pace as we do when the days are longer. I’m not really sure how to work differently. I’m still trying to figure that part out! If you have some ideas, I’d love to hear them!
I suppose it could mean being more conscious and focused in the work we set out to do and then give ourselves the space to end our work day a little earlier than we might when the days are longer. It’s actually surprising to me how much I can get done when I tell myself I have fewer hours to do it. Suddenly, the stuff that I thought was so important falls to the bottom of the list and the more important stuff rises to the top and gets done. That’s pretty powerful!
In my last BLOG I spoke about the deeper meaning of the Fall Equinox: the balance of light and dark, at least for that one day; and, the end of the summer “harvest”.
There are a number of ways you can celebrate this transition, but here are three of my favorites:
1) GRATITUDE. One theme of the “harvest” is gratitude. Seems like a perfect time to get out your gratitude journal (or start one) or simply a piece of paper, and record the top 10 things you’re grateful for.
If life has thrown you some curves lately, you may have to stretch a little on this. It may be as simple as acknowledging the gentleman who held the door open for you at the grocery store and smiled or your dog that greets you at the door every time you come home or that you have a vehicle that gets you to and from work so that you can put food on the table.
If you can, include some lessons learned that will now improve your quality of life. Whatever they are for you, write them down. Expressing gratitude does something chemically in the brain that alters our perception of our life and can raise our spirits. I’ve also found that gratitude breeds more good stuff!
2) SHARE. If you have a roof over your head at night and food in the refrigerator, than perhaps you might want to share with those less fortunate. Invite some friends over for a feast and ask that they each bring a canned food, dry goods or other non-perishable item. Donate the collected bounty to your local food bank or shelter.
3) CLEAR OUT. Clean out and make room for the new. Many trees shed their leaves so that they can focus their energy on building a stronger trunk and reserves for the winter. In the same way, by doing a sort of spring cleaning, you energetically “open up” your home or office, create energy and make room for new opportunities to come forth.
Go through your clothes and take out any that you didn’t wear this summer and donate them. Let’s be honest, if you didn’t wear them this season, you’re probably not going to next year either.
Go through your office and clear out old client files, reference materials and other stuff that’s stagnating and sort it in three piles: 1) toss; 2) keep; and 3) donate. Store the “keep” pile in boxes out of your space. Mark them with a date and make a deal with yourself that you will revisit the box in a year or some other point in time.
This year, I am vowing to honor nature’s ebb and flow. I will embrace it more, at least a little bit!
One way for me to do that is to celebrate on my favorite place – THE BEACH!

The Deeper Meaning of the Fall Equinox
September 17, 2013
No matter where you live on our planet, one thing is for sure, we are all effected by the change in seasons and the cycles of the sun. Most of us think of the autumn or fall equinox as the official end of summer and the approach of fall.
But there are two other historical elements of importance.
First, for centuries it has marked the end of the summer harvest and a time for preparation for the cold and winter ahead. We could extend that to a deeper meaning of thankfulness for the crops just harvested (i.e. lessons learned) and for the food to sustain us through the winter (or the knowledge gained and a time for reflection and integration into our lives).
Second, both the summer and autumn equinoxes are a time of balance, of equal light and dark. In the case of the fall equinox, it’s followed by decreasing amounts of daylight. On the spiritual side, we know that in order for transformation to occur, we must experience death in some form; we say goodbye to old ways of being in order to welcome in shifts and changes.
Spring has always been my favorite season, but I have to say the deeper meaning of the fall equinox is pretty special. Let’s face it, spring is associated with growth and new experiences, and sometimes growth isn’t necessarily a fun or comfortable thing! But to celebrate the growth you’ve just experienced, now that’s a whole other topic. You know, the “Whew, I don’t know how I did it, but I made it!” feeling? Or the, “Wow, I never saw that coming, but now that it’s over and I’m looking back on it, I’m glad it happened.” We’ve all experienced life scenarios that when we’re going through them aren’t a heck of a lot of fun, but once we’re on the other side we can see the relevance of it all. But when you’re deep in the middle of it, it really sucks.
So the fall equinox is your opportunity to celebrate your growth and take advantage of the slower energetic pace of the shorter days to stop and really reflect on what it all means and how you’re going to integrate it into your life.
LET’S CELEBRATE THE FALL EQUINOX!
If you’re in the San Diego area, join me and my guest co-host, Mila Bowman, as we offer you a unique way to celebrate and give thanks for the lessons learned, experience some energetic healing and experience a fun way to let your own personal intuition come through in a special artistic experience.

Have You Given Up on Affirmations? (Part 2)
July 25, 2013
Our minds are a very powerful tool, for either good or bad!
You know how if you tell yourself not to think about something, you just end up thinking about it more?! If you don’t want to think about something that’s making you uncomfortable, you have to give your brain something else to do! So shift your thoughts to something that makes you feel good!
In the same way, if you’re trying to manifest something new for yourself that your mind is saying isn’t possible (because there’s no evidence or experience for it to draw on for proof of the possibility), you can’t just tell yourself that it’s possible and expect it to work. The head chatter will still be there. Instead, you need to acknowledge to your brain that yes, in the past that may have been the case, but that now you’re creating a new paradigm.
In the book Law of Attraction they use the example of getting a cold during the flu season. Let’s say you usually get the cold or flu every year and this year you want it to be different. Merely saying “I want to remain healthy” is usually not sufficient because your belief or your experience has been different than your desire to remain well.
Abraham suggests using the following process instead to bridge your belief.
You can make statements like:
-
“This is usually the time of the year that I get the flu. I don’t want to get the flu this year. I hope I don’t get the flu this year. It seems like everyone gets it. That may be an exaggeration. Everyone doesn’t get the flu. In fact, there have been flu seasons when I didn’t get the flu. I don’t always get the flu.”
Then progress to the following:
-
“It’s possible that this flu season could come and go without touching me at all. I like the idea of being healthy! Those past experiences came before I realized that I can control my experience. It isn’t necessary for me to experience the flu this year. It isn’t necessary for me to experience anything that I don’t want.”
Do you get the idea? Acknowledge to your brain that yes, this is how things were, but this is how it could be and gradually progressing to this is how it’s going to be this time. The brain starts to let go because it’s being satisfied that you’re acknowledging what it’s telling you. It’s kind of like having this open dialogue with another part of you, some sort of an alter ego!
If it helps, maybe you can think of having the conversation with the old you vs. the new you. Acknowledge the old you, the way things have been in the past, and paint a picture of the way you want to see it. The old you feels satisfied that it’s being heard and acknowledged and the new you is happy because it’s being heard and acknowledged as well.
Let’s say your business is in a little bit of a slump and you’re trying to manifest more money or clients. The conversation might look like this:
-
“I don’t have nearly enough clients. I don’t know how I’m going to pay the bills this month. I acknowledge that I’ve had a couple of bad weeks. I know it seems like my business has slowed, but it doesn’t have to be that way. It hasn’t always been that way. In fact last month I was flooded with new clients. Clients came to me with ease. I was like a magnet. I can see that happening again. Clients are beginning to come from out of nowhere. I’m a magnet for the right clients who need what I have to offer. I repel those who are not ready for me and attract those who are ready and eager to pay for what I have to offer.”
Do you see what we did there? As you do that, it’s important to not only visualize it happening, but imagine what that will feel like, in real time.
Now, going back to our lesson here… the more frequent the thoughts of what you want to manifest, (and the stronger the feelings that go along with it), outweigh your doubts about whether or not it can really happen, the more quickly you will create what you want in your life.
Note that this process does require that you be specific and clear about what you want to manifest, and you have to have strong feelings of what that will feel like. If you can’t imagine what it will feel like since you haven’t been there before, then try to associate a feeling from someone you admire that you believe has acquired what you want to manifest for yourself.
I am hosting a women’s retreat on October 12th here in San Diego called “Transform & Thrive! Your Money. Your Self. Your Life.”, and one of the workshops will allow you to play with this concept in more detail and get feedback. You can get more details on my Events page. Stay tuned for the announcement of enrollment!
Have You Given Up on Affirmations? (Part 1)
July 18, 2013
Have you given up on using affirmations to manifest what you want to create in your life? I know I did for a while. I had used them with huge success for many years, and then it seemed like all of a sudden they “quit working”. Looking back I realize that in the past I would “power” my way through them, putting a lot of energy and action into it and “working really hard” to make things happen. What I’ve come to understand is that the energy on our planet has shifted and now it is a time of learning to trust and allow vs. feeling like we have to do everything on our own. We are being taught to harness the power available to us to manifest what we want with our forgotten tool set: our emotional vibration and our creative imagination.
It’s fun to play with this on a small scale. For example, I recently hosted a Summer Solstice and Super Moon Celebration. The event was hosted on a very busy stretch of beach in San Diego called Torrey Pines State Beach and finding a parking space for free can be quite a challenge. A few of the attendees followed my instructions and visualized a parking space becoming available to them as they arrived and were pleasantly surprised to find that it actually worked!
I have used this technique for garnering a parking space for a number of years and I too am always ecstatic when it works! I have expanded this to manifesting other things, like getting the best table with a view at my favorite restaurant, to more complex things in my life.
It struck me though that the reason I am so confident that it works is because I have done it so often with success. In the beginning I was skeptical and not so confident! But the more often I tried it, and had it work, the more confidence and belief I had in the power of the technique. But when I try it on something that I haven’t experienced before, or if what I’m trying to manifest is really big and outside of my comfort level, it’s a little harder to trust that it will still work.
There are three major components to this process: the first, visualizing what it is you want; the second, expecting it to happen; and third, imagining what it will feel like when it actually occurs. And I can even add a fourth to that list which is expressing gratitude when it does happen.
So using the parking space as an example, when I arrive at my destination I’m expecting there to be an open space! I’m already imagining how good I’m going to feel that I’ve gotten my space right up front and that the “magic” has worked once again. If I don’t see my space immediately, I’ll drive around asking (usually out loud) “Okay, so where’s my spot? Where’s my parking place?”. Some days I forget to put in my request before I leave the house and sometimes my belief that it will work again today is not as strong as my doubt.
If your belief in your ability to manifest outweighs your disbelief, even a little bit, you can still create it, it just might take a little bit longer. The more your belief in the process outweighs your doubt, the more quickly you can manifest what you want.
It’s much easier to manifest something you’ve experienced in the past; you’ve done it before and you know what it feels like to actually achieve it. If your goal is to manifest $100,000 a year and you’ve managed to do that in the past, you have a confidence you can repeat the process again. You’ve done it, you’ve experienced it, you know what it felt like and you know that the process is repeatable.
Let’s say you want to expand your reach and create a million dollars a year for yourself. If you’ve never experienced having that kind of money it can be pretty hard to imagine what that feels like and how you’re ever going to get there. That’s when the doubt in the process can outweigh your ability to believe that you can create that for yourself.
So how do you get from here to there?
In the teachings of Abraham, in the book Law of Attraction, he talks about a process where you can bridge the gap. It’s basically a way of fooling your mind into accepting that you can get from here to there with a very simple process. When we get down to it we really are just talking about the limitations of our mind.
In my next post we’ll explore this easy to use process to help you bridge the gap to creating what you want in your life.
Take Another Look at Your Reflection
June 18, 2013
A good friend, mentor and colleague of mine, Lynn Scheurell of the Creative Catalyst, once said, and I’m paraphrasing here:
“As an entrepreneur, your business is a reflection of you. If you don’t like what you see happening in your business, look at yourself!”
It’s so true. Whatever’s going on energetically with you personally, impacts your business. If you have issues with the flow of money in your personal life, there’s a good chance the flow of money and/or clients in your business fluctuates as well. If you have difficulty standing up for yourself in your personal life, most likely you have difficulty in expressing to the world what you do and the wonderful services you provide. The former is a Root chakra issue and the latter a symptom of an imbalance in the throat chakra.
BEV’S SURPRISE DISCOVERY
One client of mine, Bev, was surprised to learn how her experience of being a child in the foster care system, and later the death of her daughter, had impacted her business growth. She had unconsciously become guarded and afraid because the closest relationships to her had been ripped from her life. The death of her daughter had also left her feeling that she didn’t have “the right” to be happy, and, she had difficulty seeing her business as a large enterprise, even though it was what she wanted. She was afraid to allow her business to grow and thrive because of her perceived vulnerability. If she played small, the risk was small and the hurt minimized should it not go as she planned.
The only thing was she didn’t really want to play small! Once she realized what paradigm she had created, she started envisioning and communicating her vision to her staff, which almost immediately started manifesting large client contracts which in the past she had shunned and avoided as being “too big”!
Her story is an example of both the Root and brow chakras at work. If we don’t feel grounded (Root), then we don’t feel safe and secure and probably are unwilling to take risks or “live large” or pursue our full potential. It’s not uncommon then for the brow chakra or “third eye”, the chakra that allows us to “see” our potential, our future and possibilities, to shut down as well.
Her story is unique but not unusual. Frequently, I see a cross-correlation between one chakra and another. We’ll be exploring this more in future blog posts.
QUESTION:
What do you want to create for yourself in your work or business? We are approaching the Summer Solstice on Friday. These hallmarks in the year are a perfect time to stop and reflect and set new intentions for what we want to create. We also have a full moon on Sunday. The energy of the full moon is waning; it gets smaller in the days following it. So if you want to use that energy, it’s a great time to make a list of the things that you want to release – the habits, the negative thinking, or things you perceive as “lacking” and let them go.
After you’ve written them down, you might want to have a special ceremony where you light a candle and then burn your list in the fireplace; visualizing releasing all of the things that no longer serve you. See them vaporize like smoke into the air.
MY SUMMER SOLSTICE & SUPER MOON CELEBRATION
If you live in the San Diego area, I have a special but casual event on Sunday, on the beach, at Torrey Pines State Beach. It includes: Yoga for your Chakras, a guided Chakra Connection self-healing and a guided chakra meditation. You can find more details and RSVP here.
I encourage you to come, share and learn some tools to help yourself be more in alignment and balanced in your everyday life!
