For those of you who are earnest about self-growth, the development of HOLDING POWER is essential.

What do I mean by holding power? It’s your ability to stay consistent with your growth in the face of the external world and all its challenges.

If you collapse into old ways, look at what meaning you are still giving a situation. For example, if you want to be brave in a certain situation. but you hide instead (whatever hiding looks like for you) then you are still giving a meaning to a thought that is old and limiting to you.

HOLDING POWER involves the following:

• Being aware of a belief
• Being present in the moment so you know what is happening
• Having ways of calming yourself if you feel stressed so you can choose differently
• Knowing how to challenge and change your relationship  with an old style of thinking
• Step by step building a momentum of consistency

Each one of these stages is important for you to know about and have strategies to move forward.

As I move into 2013, I am focusing on “HOLDING POWER” for you.

Enjoy playing with the different aspects of this theme.

Consistency of practice is key.

This year the newsletter will be a combination of written and video.

You can all make a New Year’s Resolution or have a Wish list of what you would like to create, but the bottom line is being clear about whether or not you sincerely want to change, and then building strategies of HOLDING POWER.

May this be a year of meaningful growth and an increasing mastery of health and happiness.

Best Wishes

Bev
