We are approaching the season of giving and receiving as the holidays are just around the corner.  I'd like to point you in a bit of a different direction of giving and receiving this season - the gift of forgiveness. 

Is there someone in your life who has "wronged" you?  Do you hold a grudge against someone who may have hurt you in the past or betrayed your trust?  Have you felt used or abused by someone?  We all have people in our lives with whom our relationships have changed and whether we want to reconnect that relationship or not, forgiveness is important.  What forgiveness provides is SPACE – space in your heart and your head to make room for new, positive opportunities to replace that negative, low energy space.  "For-Give" – here's how:

·          Write a letter to the person who "did you wrong".  Let it rip – say everything you want to say, write about how it made you feel and when you are done, very consciously tear up the letter as a physical representation of letting that hurt go.  Then think of one positive word about that person and focus on that word for a week.  Then check out how you feel then – I'm sure your perspective will be different and will serve you.

·          Connect with the person and speak from your heart.  Let them know how you feel and how you have now forgiven them.  Don't be attached to the reaction of that person though – they may not be in the same place as you and that is okay.

·          Use positive affirmations.  Tell yourself you CAN forgive as it is not easy at the best of times.  Surround yourself with people and events that make you feel "filled up" and then say "I forgive you" with a focus on that person in your mind.

A new year is coming – make room in your heart for great relationships and leave behind those that do not serve you.

 

 

This is the holiday gift you want this year!  Join Yvonne for an inspiring, one-day workshop that will kick-start 2008. On Saturday, January 12th, 2008, create, play and explore limitless possibilities for yourself as you plan and start to manifest the Year 2008.  What will this year hold for you?  Instead of letting it unfold, this workshop will give you the space, the energy and the inspiration to dream, set intentions, and create opportunities to make 2008 the best year yet.  You will be claiming a theme for your year, looking at key pillars to focus on in your life and make tangible, actionable intentions so that the roadmap for 2008 leaves with you as you leave this workshop.  Be amongst like-minded individuals and embrace the energy!  The investment in yourself is priceless.  The cost for this workshop is only $199 plus GST and if you bring a friend, the cost decreases to $175 plus GST each.   The workshop is from 9 am – 4pm at the Waveroom in Mississauga.  67 Lakeshore Road East in Port Credit.  Limited space only.  Register now by emailing Yvonne@yvonneattardcoaching.com .

I had the most fantastic opportunity this past weekend to co-lead a workshop called BodySpeak: Move it, Hear it, Live it in Vancouver!  My co-leader Ken and I spent countless hours and excited energy planning this workshop and worked through our challenges.  The result was an incredible delivery – our participants loved it and we danced through the four hours of our workshop as though we had been leading this workshop together all of our lives.  I am so proud of how we stood by each others' side and I am humbled by the magnificence that we can create with others.  What have I learned?  That I have always done things on my own because I know I can count on ME.  Now I know that when I trust in a relationship and a created foundation, the outcome is SO much better than what I could have delivered solely.  Thank you Ken. zzz
