http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog Personal Development for Smart People Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:57:13 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Yesterday morning I woke up with the idea of recording a video blog on the topic of creating abundance. A little later I checked our forums and saw a request for me to post something more comprehensive on the topic of abundance. Well, I thought... that's a pretty blatant synchronicity! :) Is ... http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2009/11/creating-abundance-video/ Here are some updates I want to share with you. Conscious Growth Workshop DVDs I received the initial DVD masters from the videographer -- 8 DVDs total for the whole weekend. I'll start watching them this week to see if any additional edits are needed to create the final product. After that I'll ... http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2009/11/a-few-updates/ For most of the past year, I've been starting my day with a green smoothie for breakfast, but lately I've been getting back into juicing. I piled up a lot of experience in a short period of time when I did my 30-day juice feast a year ago. (I'd originally ... http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2009/11/juicing-and-physical-training/ It's time to let you know about a big personal change that's happening with Erin and me. We've decided to separate, and we're planning to get a divorce. We came to this decision very consciously, and we're separating amicably because we can see it's the best thing for both of us. ... http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2009/10/separation/ I'm delighted to announce that we're now accepting registrations for the second Conscious Growth Workshop, January 15-17, 2010 at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. In fact, we already received the first registration while I was still editing the workshop pages. :) The first Conscious Growth Workshop earlier this month was ... http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2009/10/conscious-growth-workshop-2-registration-opens/ Last week I shared my experiences using the Lefkoe Method to eliminate a limiting belief in about 20 minutes, and I provided a link where you can try the process for free. Many people took advantage of the free trial to eliminate one negative belief such as "I'm not good enough" or "Mistakes and ... http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2009/10/lefkoe-method-video/ Ah, the cubicle. The beige cage. The cubicle is the antithesis of doing work you love. Virtually no one pictures a cubicle when they think about doing what they most love. The cubicle is where you end up when you fall out of harmony with what you love. The only way you can be stuck ... http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2009/10/you-vs-the-cubicle/ Limiting beliefs can seriously hold us back in life. But most of the time such beliefs are invisible to us. They control some of our thoughts and behaviors behind the scenes, enough to curtail our results in some area of life. For example, if you have the false belief that mistakes ... http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2009/10/remove-a-limiting-belief-in-about-20-minutes/ At the Conscious Growth Workshop last weekend, there were some social courage challenges designed to get people out of their comfort zones. One exercise involved going outside the workshop room and saying something silly to a stranger, such as "Can you tell me what year it is?" or "Which planet ... http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2009/10/speedhugging-how-to-go-from-zero-to-hugs-in-under-60-seconds/ The buzz I've been feeling after our Conscious Growth Workshop has been incredible. I haven't slept more than 4-5 hours a night since the workshop ended. I had NO IDEA how much the energy of being around so many great people would impact me personally. I got far more value ... http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2009/10/after-the-workshop/
