How wonderful you are!

Whenever you doubt yourself, think of the confidence that this little girl exudes. She’s feeling wonderful about herself…just brimming with the Magenta Power of Confidence for seemingly no particular reason. Let it sink into your own cells every chance you get, giving off that “I can do anything” vibe.

But what about your not so confident moments, days, or even lifestyle? Those are the times when you…

• Don’t try new things or ask for what you desire.

• Don’t bother setting goals because they just never seem to work out.

• Hear yourself say “I can’t” a lot.

• Think that many things in life just seem way too hard.

• Have a deadline you have to meet at work, but your stress level goes through the roof leaving your feeling panicky.

• See all the places you could’ve done better, no matter what kind of success you’ve already reached.

• Feel like you’re not living up to your potential.

It’s hard to feel strong and capable when you are stuck in any of these mindsets. One way to boost your Power of Confidence during these challenging phases of your life is to have someone in your corner who believes in you and is there to pat you on the back when you need it! So we are here to bolster your confidence with this reminder…

Now, envision our little friend at the top to inspire some Magenta energy and embark on the Power of Confidence practice below.

Wake up the Power of Confidence

in your life this week

with the following exercise!

1) First, to help strengthen your Magenta connection, take a few drops of Confidence Vibrancy Essence, if you have a bottle. (You can order it HERE!).

2) Next, saturate your thoughts with these affirmations:

I can do it.

I am confident and believe in myself.

I handle pressure easily.

I coach others to reach their potential.

3) For the next 7 days, take note of your own successes. At the end of each day, write down 3 things that feel like accomplishments for you…knowing who you are and where you are in your life.

4) Meanwhile, apply a little Magenta pressure to yourself and resist any temptation you may have to compare yourself to “all the others.” They don’t really matter this week. Just feel into your own sense of “Look at what I did!” and enjoy it as much as you can allow yourself to.

5) Observe any shifts in how you feel about yourself and in what you do.

6) Let those Magenta insights inform your choices going forward.

7) And when you are feeling particularly strong in Magenta energy, pass it on! Pat someone else on the back, and let them know you believe in them too.

There’s just no substitute for being able to put your hands on something when you need it, or seeing a nicely organized room, home or office, right? That kind of thing makes life feel more manageable. But what’s your reality?

• Do you feel overwhelmed and scattered every time you look at the piles of stuff on your desk?
• Are you tired of wasting time running up and down the stairs looking for your shoes?
• Have you had it with being late because you can’t find your keys?

Trade in that chaos in for a new system!

Chaya here…

Yes, It’s such a silly thing, really. A simple, silly little thing.

Don’t we all have at least one drawer that’s a total, cluttered, chaotic mess?

And you think it doesn’t bother you, but every time you open it, it’s like a tiny pin just poked your energy field and drained a little bit of your happiness. Registering in every one of your cells is a small jolt of frustration, worry that you won’t find what you need, and irritation that no one has ever gotten control of this drawer.

But, after you either do or don’t find what you need, you close the drawer and walk away, leaving it for another day….perhaps 1000 pin pricks from now.

And then, that day arrives. Your head is clear, you decide you can’t take it anymore. You empty the drawer onto the counter or into a box. You create a system. Carefully, you put back what you need, fitting it into your new system. Singlehandedly, you have brought about an end to chaos.

From then forward, every time you open the drawer, instead of a little loss of energy, you get a lift. You smile. You can easily get your hands on what you need, because you are the Organizational Wizard.
It’s just a little thing. But a thousand pinpricks draining away your happiness each time ain’t nothin’.

So here’s my new spice drawer. Sometimes I just open it for the smile!

Are you ready for more sanity?
Tap into your Power of Organization!

You will:

• Save more time and energy because you’ll know where to find things.
• Think clearly because your surroundings are more orderly.
• Stay more present, grounded, and alert, because the drama is gone.

2 Ways to Access Your Orange Power of Organizing:

#1: Say or sing this proclamation until you believe it with your entire being:

“I am organized.”

#2: Take 7 – 21 drops of the Organize Vibrancy Essence daily. This remedy will align you with the energetic frequency of Organizing, and sharpen your skill of organization. It will help to melt the angst and drama around messes, making it no big deal to clean up after yourself.

Here’s to stepping free of the chaos!

Do you ever think about those dreams you’ve had in the past that never materialized? No problem…as long as you know that the road to achieving your dreams just has to be paved with the Topaz Power of Persistence. Does that mean drudgery? No, not if you’re following the one that is right for you.

Stop a minute. When you think about your unmet goals and dreams, do you:

• Notice a wave of heaviness and depression wash over you?
• Lack enough confidence to try again?
• Still deal with the fallout of having been so inconsistent that people don’t really trust you any more?
• Believe that you’re just irresponsible and unpredictable?
• Settle for less because you don’t want to just slog through all the boring parts of creating the life you thought you wanted?

If you answered “yes” to any or all of these, know this:

It is possible to chase your dream,
put the work in day after day,
enjoy the journey,
AND reach your destination.

Jamie here….

The first time I watched Chaya dive was in a video of her at about 10 years old. She would do a dive, swim to the side, get out of the pool, do another dive, swim, get out, dive, swim get out. Over and over – perpetual motion. And the whole time, she glowed with joy.

I said, “So how many dives did you do in your career?” She looked baffled for a moment, because she’d never considered adding them all up.

She started mumbling the math out loud, and scribbling on a piece of paper. “Let’s see…21 years, 50 weeks per year, 6 days a week, 2 workouts a day for 10 of those years…..”

An Olympian’s journey begins with a vision, but without The Power of Persistence it turns to ashes.

250,000 times my wife climbed a ladder to a diving board or a platform in pursuit of her dream. Many of you know she won a bronze medal in the 1988 Olympics. But what most people don’t know is that after the Olympics, she went back to the pool, trained more, and won the World Cup the following year, defeating the Olympic Gold Medalist along the way.

As Calvin Coolidge said, “NOTHING takes the place of persistence.”

Whether you’re going after your Big Visions or just trying to lose 10 pounds, it’s one foot in front of the other, steadily and consistently showing up and putting the work in. So make sure it’s work you enjoy!

Don’t beat yourself up if you haven’t been consistent and reliable in the past…

The Power of Persistence is within you –
it may just need to be strengthened, like a muscle.

When you access the Power of Topaz….

• Your dreams can become a reality. They don’t create themselves. You help create them by your perseverance.
• You are more effective, more productive, and more responsible. From your relationships to your health to your career, a whole new world of success will open up to you!
• People will trust, rely on, and look up to you in ways they never could before. You can count on yourself, and others can count on you.

“Slow and steady wins the race,” said the Turtle.
Clearly, he was connected to The Power of Persistence.

Even if you don’t have this Power in your Vibrancy Signature, it can still help you show up every day to bring about what you want in your life!

• Do what’s necessary to get you where you want to go.
• Let your “iron will” sustain you through the most challenging of times, giving you confidence in yourself and faith in the outcome.
• Enjoy yourself and let your successes become the new “now.” Keep showing up and doing what needs to be done to have what you want to have.

2 Tips to engage your Power of Persistence:

#1: Sing or say this affirmation until you believe it with your entire being:

“I am consistent and reliable!”

#2: Take 7 – 21 drops of Persistence Vibrancy Essence daily. It will help you stay the course on your favorite project, plan of action and grand vision for yourself. Order yours HERE!

Grab hold and don’t let go until you succeed
(or until it is obvious that you are barking up the wrong tree).

Ambition is the path to success, persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.

 Through rain, sleet, snow, and hail, we know you’ll make it!

What is Altruism? It sounds noble because it is. Here’s a definition: the practice of unselfish concern for, or the devotion to the welfare of others.

It’s when you are so moved by a need you see in the world that you just have to take action. When you see suffering on a small or large scale and you feel that commitment deep inside that says, “I must do something about this!”

And yes, you will make a difference. As Margaret Mead said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

Are you tapping into your Power of Altruism, showering others with your deep care for their well being? Or….

• Do you already feel so swamped with people and things to take care of in your own life that the thought of helping others sends you over the edge?
• Do you feel guilty because you ignore all those email campaigns that flood your inbox every day, sending you into “save the planet” overload?
• Are you so painfully lost in your own issues that it never crosses your mind to devote your time and energy to a cause?
• Are just too depressed to feel like you can muster up the energy to help anybody, not even your next door neighbor?
• Are you frustrated because there just too many causes to pick from? Do you stall out trying to decide which one to sign on for?
• Do you feel like you there is no way you could really make a difference anyway?

If so, you’re not alone. But there are some really good reasons to clear the overwhelm and exercise your Power of Altruism.

Have you heard the starfish story?

There’s a little girl walking along a beach that’s covered with starfish for as far as she can see. Thousands of them have been washed up on shore with the tide, and they’re dying in the sun.

The little girl is walking along, picking up one at a time, and throwing it back into the ocean.

An older gentleman walks up to her and asks her what she’s doing.

She says, “I’m saving the starfish.”

He replies, “But there are thousands and thousands! You can’t possibly make a difference here!”

She reaches down, picks up a starfish, looks at it intently, then hurls it into the water.

The girl looks up at the old man and says, “I just made a difference for that one.”

The Power of Altruism is within you!
It’s the Blue Topaz frequency,
just waiting to come alive and be a part of your life.

You may think what you do is only a drop in a bucket, but those drops add up and become an ocean. Your actions will impact a whole lot of people and tons of circumstances (that you may never know of) down the line.

Strengthen your connection to this frequency and you’ll feel that Power of Altruism come alive within you. You’ll feel:

• Powerful in taking a stand and making a difference for what you care so deeply about.
• An infusion of new energy in your life, lifting your depression and disconnection.
• Your own issues and problems shrink, as the positive energy of focusing on easing someone else’s pain fills your soul.
• The deep satisfaction of playing your part in the big picture, and knowing your every action makes a difference to someone.
• That contributing to your cause of choice is so fulfilling that you’ll wonder if you should be paying THEM to let you do it!

2 actions to take to wake up your Power of Altruism:

#1: Tired of feeling depressed, lonely, and useless? Here’s an affirmation that will give you a new lease on life.

“I make a difference in the world!”

We suggest you sing this out loud or to yourself 7 times whenever you notice yourself getting so self-absorbed that you don’t care any more. Then pick up that phone, hop online, walk across the street and reach out to someone else who could use your help!

#2: Take 7 – 21 drops of Altruism Vibrancy Essence daily. This remedy will align you with the energetic frequency of Altruism, and help you remember that you can make a difference in the world and to take that first step. Order yours HERE!

There’s no time like the present to move some mountains,
one stone at a time.

Thank you for the difference you make in our lives!

Wouldn’t it be great to have a GPS for your Life? It could help you make your decisions swiftly and easily without deliberation. For example, you might need it when you’re:

• Stuck in the process of looking at all the options ~ like which career path to follow, which insurance policy to buy, or even which emails to open first? Decisions, decisions!!
• Running an online search and get inundated with a gazillion different websites that might have the info you need, but you don’t have all day (nor the patience) to check them all out! Which ones do you ignore??
• Late for an appointment, you ask directions from someone who gives you the elaborate tour guide version, and you all you want to do is GET THERE?
• Having a big job that you have to do in a short amount of time (like clean the house before your guest, who is only an hour away, arrives on your doorstep!) and you can’t seem to get your brain in gear and get crackin’?

Wouldn’t it be great if your mind worked quickly, like a GPS, always orienting you to the shortest path to your destination? It can with the Power of Precision!

 The secret to decision is the Power of Precision!

Once we decided to get married, we must’ve really been connected to our Power of Precision. We had to be – we only gave ourselves 90 days to plan the wedding.

There was no time to get lost in deliberating. We had to zero in quickly on the place, (a cute winery in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains), the food (vegan, of course), and the cake (vegan carrot, and yes, delicious).

Tent? Yes, in case of rain.

Invitations, check. Chaya’s dress, check. Jamie’s clothes, check. Ceremony planned, vows written, check. Rings, check (well, a little problem there, but that’s a story for another day).

Although some people might think that such a short time frame would make things more stressful, we found it to be less stressful than the normal process because there just wasn’t time to get bogged down on anything!

Fantastic wedding Day? Check!

Cutting to the chase wins the race,
if you don’t want to waste your precious time and energy.

With your internal GPS on board, here’s what you can look forward to:

• Quickly and clearly seeing which choice will most directly take you where you REALLY want to go.
• Making decisions easily. You know which career suits your needs right now (and your Vibrancy Signature!), which insurance policy best fits your family’s situation, and which emails are most critical. No more deliberation necessary.
• Your mind operating like a laser beam, zeroing in on the path of least resistance, and bypassing anything that’s not important to your desired goal.
• Online searches taking mere minutes rather than hours, because you weed out the ones that don’t instantly say to you “pick me!”

2 ways to hone in on your Emerald Power of Precision:

#1: Say or sing this affirmation until you believe it with your entire being:

“I am precise!”

#2: Take 7 – 21 drops of Precision Vibrancy Essence daily. This remedy will align you with the energetic frequency of Precision, and help you perk up, pay attention to where you want to go, and decide how best to get there quickly and efficiently. Order yours HERE!

Put in your coordinates and
let your Power of Precision get you there.

“Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand.”

Arrive alive!

If all is well, you have plenty of “get up and go” to get things moving in your life when you want to. Who needs stimulants when you have enough energy on tap to launch yourself and your pet projects into action at a moment’s notice?!

So how is it for you? Could any of these be you talking?

• “There’s so much I need to do, but honestly, I’m just tired all the time.”
• “I know I should go to the health club and work out, but my couch is so comfy and there’s some TV shows on tonight that I really like…maybe I’ll exercise tomorrow.”
• “I keep talking about taking that dance class (or karate class or tennis lesson, etc), but never get around to it. It’s hard to get up the energy to start something new.”
• “I used to love to travel, but now it’s just seems too intense to deal with all the planning, packing, airports, car rentals, and hotels. Just thinking about it is exhausting.”
• “My husband and I are like two old rocks stuck in the mud. Our life is just the same old thing, day in and day out. I don’t remember the last time we ventured out of our comfort zone and did something different.”
• “I never get any of my ideas off the ground. I quit before I even start, because it takes a boost of energy and focus that I can’t seem to find.”
• “I live for my coffee. Without it, I’m a zombie. Nothing would ever get done.”

What does it look like when those fires get going?
Ask Coconut!

A few years ago, when we would walk our 2 old dogs, we realized that they went so slow there was no way we could count it as exercise. It was barely a gentle stroll.

Then, our Saffron girl, Coconut, came into our lives. Now, every night, the minute our forks have been put down, the prancing starts. The circles. Or staring that alternates with nose butts.

She’s a white blur flying up the stairs. She brings down our socks and flings them into the air. She goes and stands on our shoes…more staring. “It’s time for our walk, so get off your lazy butts!” she seems to say.

Walking, running, ball chasing, geese chasing, sometimes deer chasing, play fighting with her new daughter, Sochi. Then it’s time for “diving dog”.

We throw a stick or the ball into the lake, she runs in after it a foot or so, then launches herself from the muddy edge up into the air. Sometimes she flies 2 feet up and 5 feet out. (We’ve got to get it on video.)

One time we swore we’d wear her out and not quit until she did. After 40 throws, she starting running back faster and barking at us until we threw it again. At 70 throws she started spinning in circles until we’d throw it. At 100 we gave up.

There’s just no end to the energy when you are truly connected to Saffron.

Fire up those engines and
launch yourself into life!

When you’re connected to the Saffron Power of Energizing, you’ll be saying:

• “I’m so fired up I can’t wait to get to the gym and move my body!”
• “No more thinking about it. I’m ready to act! When is my first dance class?”
• “It wasn’t all that hard to get this trip together! I remember now why I’ve always loved traveling!”
• “My husband and I are feeling young and alive, doing something new and different almost every day! We even have energy for….well, you get the idea…”
• “I’m so excited to launch my ideas into action with a big whoosh of energy. It’s such fun to see them take shape!”
• “Who needs coffee? Once I get moving on something I care about, the energy just seems to multiply.”

2 ways to shift your Saffron Power of Energizing into gear and have more energy naturally:

#1: Tired of worshiping at the altar of Starbucks? Next time you notice that you’re lacking in the energy department, sing this affirmation out loud or to yourself 7 times:

“I am focused and initiate movement!”

Then let yourself take the first step…and the next…and the next…and off you go!

#2: Keep a bottle of Energize Vibrancy Essence handy this week. Every time you notice that you’re stuck on the couch and can’t get up, grab your bottle and take 7 drops. Get a good grip on those armrests and launch yourself up and out into the world. We need you out here!

Connect with your inner powerhouse!

“Life begets life.  Energy creates energy.
It is by spending oneself that we become rich.”

~ Sarah Bernhardt

 Ready, get set, GO !

Sure, it would be nice to move forward in your life with ease, never being held back, never letting anything get to you. But with all the twists, turns, and challenges you face every day, frustrations are bound to arise. What do you do when you feel stopped before you can even get going? When you’re saying things like:

• “I’m stuck in the muck and can’t move forward in my career no matter what I do.”
• “Turning this relationship around is just too big of a hurdle. I don’t think I can get through it this time.”
• “It will take too much time and energy for me to move through this challenge I face. I guess I need to just give up.”
• “I feel so bogged down by this situation that I’m losing sight of the dreams that brought me this far.”
• “Life has just thrown me too many curve balls and I feel powerless.”
•  “I’m losing my fire and my drive that used to help me move through the hard stuff.”

When you’ve lost sight of your dreams, breathe!

Chaya here…

Last July I woke up one morning with frozen shoulder. If you’ve never heard of it, consider yourself lucky. Basically, it’s mind-numbing pain and an immovable arm.

I couldn’t do the most basic things – dress myself, chop vegetables, work on the computer, or anything that required 2 hands.

While getting a session from a Feldenkrais practitioner I remember telling her about the usual 2 year period it takes for frozen shoulder to heal and that I didn’t think I could do it. I was so broken down by the pain and frustration of not being able to move, that I just didn’t feel capable of going through it day after day.

She just looked me in the eye and said, “Yes you can. You are resilient. You will get through this. You’ll get back to all those dreams and things you love to do.”

I wasn’t sure if I believed her, but I hung onto her words like a life raft.

In the end, thanks to grace and some great healing modalities (including Vibrancy Healing Therapeutics first and foremost), less than one year later I have full range of motion and no pain!

So after all, I was resilient enough. I survived frozen shoulder. Next time I have something challenging to face, hopefully I won’t doubt myself and go to that place of powerlessness.

Yesterday, I came across a great quote on Facebook, and it brought a sigh of comfort and a tear of gratitude. Here it is, in case this is a time when you need to hear these words:

Stand your ground, reclaim your dreams,
and move forward with confidence!

When you’re reconnected to the Ultraviolet Power of Empowerment, you will:

• Take a deep breath, stand firm, and start moving forward step by step, making the changes you need to build a fulfilling career.
• Tap into your resilience and reclaim your determination to make your relationship the pinnacle of success, rather than a dive into mediocrity.
• Be surprised how energizing it is for you to meet your challenges head on, giving the time and energy necessary to surmounting them.
• Re-engage with your visions and dreams for your life, and let them (rather the circumstances) dictate your next step forward.
• Be motivated by obstacles rather than deterred by them – they are just another chance for you to live from a place of personal power.
• Fire up the momentum needed to burst through any inertia you’ve been facing in your attempt to move live into your potential.
  

2 ways to step into your Ultraviolet Power of Empowerment:

#1:  Are you tired of caving in to everything in your life? Here’s a proclamation that will help you step up to the plate.

“I am calm, assertive, and empowered!”

We suggest you sing it 7 times out loud or to yourself whenever you are stuck in frustration rather than holding your ground in the face of the winds of life. Then stand strong, and move forward in a calm, assertive, and empowered way.

#2: Keep a bottle of Empower Vibrancy Essence by your side this week. Whenever you feel disempowered and angry, do some deep breathing, claim your power to move mountains, and take the first bold step.

Move forward with strength.

“We all have a divine mission on earth. Let that mission be to inspire love and embrace the light within. Let that mission be to have peace in our hearts as we create heaven on earth. Let that mission be to seek empowerment through transformation and to breathe joy into everything we do. If we allow these things to be our mission the golden light of the sun will shine on our souls and change our world forever.”

~ Micheal Teal

Here’s to a fully empowered you!

How do you feel about your body? How good are you at revealing who you really are – on all levels?

Have you had any of these thoughts lately?

•  “No more shorts and bathing suits for me. I don’t want anyone to see my legs and butt.”
• “I’d so much rather eat than deal with these uncomfortable feelings and issues. Where is that chocolate bar anyway?”
• “Forget sex…I just feel too unattractive, vulnerable, and awkward to enjoy getting up close and cozy with my partner.”
• “It just depresses me to see these perfect, skinny, gorgeous models in the magazines because there’s no way I’ll ever look like that.”
• “I like my clothes nice and baggy. I don’t want to draw any more attention to my body than I have to!”
• “I’m so afraid to reveal my deepest thoughts and feelings. I’m just sure people won’t like what they see.”

We get so accustomed to trying to meet some impossible standard of how we should look that we forget all about appreciating, loving, enjoying, and caring for the unique body we have.

Regardless of your shape or size,
you deserve to feel good in your own skin!

Chaya here…

On Maui, Ultraviolet White energy is on the breeze and in the water. I lived there for 2 years, and it was like I was being bathed in this freeing Power.

I had friends who lived on a 2 acre property that was just like you’d imagine the Garden of Eden. Lush, sun-filled grounds with avocado, star fruit, mango, papaya, and passionfruit trees providing the shade. A 350 foot waterfall and pool to swim in.

And it was ‘clothing optional’.

A friend of mine, Tara, was coming to visit me and I got her a room at the top of the waterfall. But she was panic-stricken.

“OMG, people are going to be naked? I’m not taking my clothes off – NO WAY!”

I had to reassure her over and over on the phone before she came that it truly was optional and that no one cared one way or another if she wore clothes or not.

This place was truly a judgment-free zone – bodies of all shapes and sizes in different levels of dress or undress. People who just were so comfortable in their skin, who truly just thought the human body was a natural, beautiful, artistic creation, that gave you permission to just relax and be at ease with your own body, no matter it’s shape and size.

I picked Tara up at the airport, we dropped her bags in her room, put on our bikinis and sarongs, and hiked down to the bottom of the waterfall.

I turned around for 30 seconds to put my stuff on a rock, and then I hear Tara yelling, “This is fantastic! I’m feel so FREE!”

And I looked up, and there she is, arms to the sky, buck naked. The sun was caressing her upturned face and every inch of her body.

Every minute she was on that property, for the rest of the week, she went au naturel. And loved it. Ultraviolet White healing at its finest.

Tap into the Power of Revealing
and share yourself, physically and emotionally!

Opening up to and celebrating who you are and how you look can shift your whole approach to life.

• You’ll turn heads left and right as you walk down the street with the energy radiating from you that says, “I love how I am.”
• An inner freedom will blossom in you, with embarrassment and self-consciousness melting away.
• You’ll stop comparing yourself to the models in magazines. You’ll love and respect your own body for what it is, living into your standard of “lookin’ good”.
• You’ll be more in touch with how you feel and what you want. Then you’ll stop obsessing about your body and start enjoying and taking care of it.
• You’ll discover the joy of sex! All those old strategies to avoid revealing yourself will fall by the wayside. Snuggling up to your honey will be a natural expression of your feelings.
• You’ll deal with your deep emotions effortlessly, and not need addictions, like unconscious eating, to numb out.

2 ways to expose your Ultraviolet White Power of Revealing:

#1:  Tire of living in shame? Every time you notice yourself being critical of your body, try this affirmation on for size:

“I’m relaxed in my body!”

Sing it out loud or to yourself 7 times whenever you feel like running for cover. Then find at least one thing, anything, that you love about your body and say it out loud to yourself. “I love my ______!”

#2: Keep the Reveal Vibrancy Essence handy this week. Every time you notice yourself condemning your innocent body for not being this way or that, whip out that bottle, take 7 drops, and open up to seeing, loving, and appreciating it just as it is.

Remember, your body is the temple of your soul.

Your body needs to be held and to hold, to be touched and to touch.
None of these needs is to be despised, denied, or repressed.

~ Henri Nouwen

 Enjoy yourself!

Do you keep thinking about those dreams you’ve had in the past that never materialized?  No problem. The road to making them a reality just has to be paved with the Topaz Power of Persistence. Does that mean drudgery? No, not if you’re following the path that is right for you.

Stop a minute. When you think about your unmet goals and dreams, do you:

• Notice a wave of heaviness and depression wash over you?

• Lack enough confidence to try again?

• Still deal with the fallout of having been so inconsistent that people don’t really trust you any more?

• Believe that you’re just irresponsible and unpredictable?

• Settle for less because you don’t want to just slog through all the boring parts of creating the life you thought you wanted?

If you answered “yes” to any or all of these, know this:

It is possible to chase your dream,
put the work in day after day,

When you access the Power of Topaz….

• Your dreams can become a reality. They don’t create themselves. You help create them by your perseverance.

• You are more effective, more productive, and more responsible. From your relationships to your health to your career, a whole new world of success will open up to you!

• People will trust, rely on, and look up to you in ways they never could before. You can count on yourself, and others can count on you.

“Slow and steady wins the race,” said the Turtle.
 Clearly, he was connected to The Power of Persistence.

Even if you don’t have this Power in your Vibrancy Signature, it can still help you show up every day to bring about what you want in your life!

• Do what’s necessary to get you where you want to go.

• Let your “iron will” sustain you through the most challenging of times, giving you confidence in yourself and faith in the outcome.

• Enjoy yourself and let your successes become the new “now.” Keep showing up and doing what needs to be done to have what you want to have.

 
2 Tips to engage your Power of Persistence:
 
#1: Are you tired of laying around on the couch commiserating about how things in your life aren’t the way you want? This affirmation might put an end to the complaining:

“I am consistent and reliable!”

 Every time you notice that you are about to give up, sing it 7 times out loud or to yourself. Then get ready to stand up, put one foot in front of the other, and commit to one of those Violet Crystal visions you reminded yourself of last week.

#2: Keep the Persistence Vibrancy Essence on your shelf for those times when you are getting bored or discouraged, and are thinking about quitting. Take 14 drops under your tongue daily or whenever you need some help in staying the course.

Grab hold and don’t let go until you succeed
 (or until it is obvious that you are barking up the wrong tree).

“Ambition is the path to success, persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.”

Bill Bradley

Through rain, sleet, snow, and hail, we know you’ll make it!

Wouldn’t it be great to have a GPS for your Life?  It could help you make your decisions swiftly and easily without deliberation. For example, you might need it when you’re:

• Stuck in the process of looking at all the options ~ like which career path to follow, which insurance policy to buy, or even which emails to open first? Decisions, decisions!!
• Running an online search and get inundated with a gazillion different websites that might have the info you need, but you don’t have all day (nor the patience) to check them all out! Which ones do you ignore??
• Late for an appointment, you ask directions from someone who gives you the elaborate tour guide version, and you all you want to do is GET THERE?
• Having a big job that you have to do in a short amount of time (like clean the house before your guest, who is only an hour away, arrives on your doorstep!) and you can’t seem to get your brain in gear and get crackin’?

Wouldn’t it be great if your mind worked quickly, like a GPS, always orienting you to the shortest path to your destination? It can with the Power of Precision!

The secret to decision is the Power of Precision!
 

Once we decided to get married, we must’ve really been connected to our Power of Precision. We had to be – we only gave ourselves 90 days to plan the wedding.

There was no time to get lost in deliberating. We had to zero in quickly on the place, (a cute winery in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains), the food (vegan, of course), and the cake (vegan carrot, and yes, delicious).

Tent? Yes, in case of rain.

Invitations, check. Chaya’s dress, check. Jamie’s clothes, check. Ceremony planned, vows written, check. Rings, check (well, a little problem there, but that’s a story for another day).

Although some people might think that such a short time frame would make things more stressful, we found it to be less stressful than the normal process because there just wasn’t time to get bogged down on anything!

Fantastic wedding Day? Check!

Cutting to the chase wins the race,

if you don’t want to waste your precious time and energy.

With your internal GPS on board, here’s what you can look forward to:

• Quickly and clearly seeing which choice will most directly take you where you REALLY want to go.
• Making decisions easily. You know which career suits your needs right now (and your Vibrancy Signature!), which insurance policy best fits your family’s situation, and which emails are most critical. No more deliberation necessary.
• Your mind operating like a laser beam, zeroing in on the path of least resistance, and bypassing anything that’s not important to your desired goal.
• Online searches taking mere minutes rather than hours, because you weed out the ones that don’t instantly say to you “pick me!”

2 ways to hone in on your Emerald Power of Precision:
 
#1: Feeling like you’re too woozy to see what’s going on, much less make a decision about it? Here’s an affirmation to help zero in on what you need to do.

“I am precise!”

Sing this to yourself or out loud 7 times,  every time you notice yourself wandering around aimlessly in our thoughts, actions, or speech. Then imagine the Power of Precision flooding into you, helping you snap to attention, cut through the non-essentials, and get on with whatever is calling to you.

#2: Keep a bottle of Precision Vibrancy Essence by your side this week, especially if you have some important decisions to make. Every time you notice yourself going down long winding roads to nowhere, take 7 drops, and allow yourself to perk up, pay attention to where you want to go, and decide how best to get there.

Put in your coordinates and
let your Power of Precision get you there.

“Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument,

debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand.”
