Welcome! Did you miss me last week? My hosting company was (and is) having technical problems causing my site to go up, and down, and up, and down, and up, and...well, you get the idea. So, I thought I'd wait it out and see if the glitches stabilize this week. If you've had any problems accessing my site, please try again. The bugs in the new hosting system will be worked out soon. Again, WELCOME to all of the new subscribers! Check out this week's article on "REMOVING what is not working in your life"...Very exciting NEWS, too. I am launching 2 teleclasses that are wildly fun...I hope you join us! Please spread the word about the classes to your friends, too. I appreciate it!

Enjoy your week...

2. Quote of the Week.

"Change requires energy. If you are stuck, you need to lighten your load and free up some energy for much needed change in your life. Increase your energy by removing whatever it is you are putting up with in your life. Stop tolerating what is not working for you and open up space for what you reallllllly want."

Subtracting VS. Adding

Most of us want to ADD to our lives whatever it is we think will make us happy. More money. More love. More peace. More fun. Etc.

You know what is MUCH easier to do, though? SUBTRACT. Here is my theory:

Deep down, you already are all of those things you want. You ARE peaceful. You ARE fun. You ARE even financially loaded. Yep. You heard me. You are rolling in the dough, my friend.

You see, I think the only thing preventing you from BEING peaceful, fun, wealthy, etc. is something in your way..... The only thing preventing you is what is preventing you. How eloquent, eh?

So, what is getting in your way? Instead of thinking about what you need to DO or ADD to your life to become peaceful (meditate like a monk, for ex.), I'd like you to first consider REMOVING/SUBTRACTING whatever gets in the way of your natural peacefulness.

So what gets in your way?

Let's say you want to be peaceful, for the sake of this discussion. I want you to make a list of all of the things that prevent you from naturally being this way.

Your list might look like this:

1. Noisy dogs barking.
2. Money stress.
3. Phone ringing non-stop.
4. Clutter at home.
5. Worry about what people think. Etc.

Now, I want you to SUBTRACT those things from your life. ELIMINATE these blocks. They all trigger your non-peaceful state. And, you could meditate all day long and still not become peaceful if these blocks are in your way.

Tackle the blocks head on. Don't be shy. Strategize to solve or remove each one of your list items until you start to feel "peaceful"...

Next, after you've removed all that you can, focus on what you can ADD to your life to maintain and strengthen your new state of peace.

Here are the questions to ask yourself:

1. What quality do I want to exude? How do I want to be as a person?
2. What prevents me from naturally being this way already? What are the blocks?
3. How can I remove or break down these blocks THIS week?

I want you to see yourself as your ideal self but with a few energy leaks, blocks and sandbags weighing you down. Kind of like a hot air balloon with a few sandbags keeping you stuck on the ground. Or, like a boat with holes in the bottom. Get rid of those weighted bags and watch the balloon naturally soar upwards...Plug the holes, and see how sturdy the boat becomes. This is how your life works, too. Try to see this visual of the balloon with YOU and your ideal qualities in the balloon basket. Look over the basket and figure out what each one of the sandbags represents (your blocks). Then, get rid of each one and visualize yourself floating up, up and over the clouds with an amazing new perspective on the world....

If you need more focused help getting rid of your "energy leaks" or "blocks," check out my new teleclass in section 5 of this newsletter.

Enjoy your week!

Love, Kristin

Whenever you feel confused about a situation you are in, chances are you are simply not seeing what is TRUE. The TRUTH can instantly bring you clarity and focus. Today, ask yourself this.. "What is TRUE in this situation?" Then, list out 10 things that are absolutely true/factual about the situation you are struggling with. Look for the truth everywhere and respond to it. That is the secret to an effortless life.

If you go to the KristinCoach.com website, you will see a "TeleClass" button on the front page...Click on that to read about 2 classes I am offering in August. The classes will be conducted on a conference call line with a small group of others to allow for VOLUNTARY participation. Kind of like a classroom without walls. Wear your fuzzy slippers to my class, if you want.

* The Jacked UP Jump Start - 30 days to get rid of energy drains/blocks and feel much more energetic and ready for changes in life.

* Communicating Like A Coach - learn the communication and listening skills I use to coach my clients. Great class for anyone, especially budding coaches.

I've led these classes before and LOVE the energy and momentum generated on the calls. They are now back by request. Plus, I am thrilled to find a way to coach more of you with these classes. I hope this helps you get rolling...: )
