Live Your Destiny Today!

Val's Rebel-With-A-Cause

THE CHALLENGE

Life can get really busy, and one of the challenges I’ve heard over and over again from clients and others is that they just don’t have the time (or energy) to wake up early in the morning and begin the day with prayer and meditation, or with some kind of self-sustaining spiritual practice.

I know the feeling. For awhile, I had the inclination to wake up at 4:00 AM for prayer and meditation. Part of me was completely on board with the idea.

Then there was that other part of me that wasn’t on board; she flat out rebelled.

Which was no surprise; she generally rebels against anything that’s for my greater good, especially if it involves getting up extra early, exercising, eating well or doing anything else that involves discipline.

I call that part of me the Rebel-With-A-Cause. Her cause? To be lazy, undisciplined, unfocused and unproductive.

When I’m not really, really careful and conscious, she succeeds. Now that I’ve learned to recognize her tactics, she doesn’t succeed to the extent she used to. I’m always on the lookout for more ways to deactivate her, keep her busy or otherwise decrease her influence.

THE SOLUTION

One of the most powerfully effective means I’ve found for bringing this aspect of me into loving dominion is to get up early, before she does (remember, she’s lazy) and begin a practice of prayer, devotion and meditation at 4:00 am to 6:00 AM each morning. (I finally decided to honor the still small voice inside that was urging me to get out the bed early.) After a period of time, the practice locked into my consciousness and became a habit. And I love it. Who knew getting up so early would be so much fun and so transformative?

Anyway, back to the folks who are still struggling to wake up early in the morning.

BOOST IN YOUR BATHROBE!

I got the idea to have an early morning live conference call each weekday at 6:00 AM and to invite clients and others to join in for 15 minutes of prayer, praise and inspiration. I hoped that after the 15 minutes, folks would be so excited and worked up that they’d stay up and continue in prayer and devotion after the call. At least the hard part would be done, they would be out of bed.

The name BOOST IN YOUR BATHROBE came because you don’t have to get dressed or leave the house to join in the fun. You can roll out of bed (or stay in bed if you want) and just dial in.

The idea comes to life on Monday, December 1, 2008 at 6:00 AM EST, when BOOST IN YOUR BATHROBE begins.

I’m excited. Really, I’m enthused about the prospects for this live call each morning, and the far reaching effects it will have.

The good news is: you’re invited!

Whether you’re still in bed at 6:00 AM or whether you’ve already started your day, or even if you’re on the other side of the world, you can join us. Just dial in! (The call-in number is below, at the end of this post.)

There is a theme for each month, and the theme for December 2008 is PROSPERITY. Everyone can benefit from an expanded consciousness of abundant prosperity, and this month’s offerings are designed to do just that, from Prosperity Prayers to Prosperity Affirmations, you’ll get loads of spiritual ammunition to aim at your thoughts of lack and limitation. When you develop a prosperous mindset, a prosperous world soon follows.

The theme for January 2009 is NEW BEGINNINGS.

There are a multitude of benefits to joining us, here are just 5 to consider:

1. Start your day on a high. Starting each weekday morning on a spiritual high makes it easier to stay that way all day.

2. Invoke the power that accompanies two or more who are gathered together. Once you invoke this supernatural power, you can consciously walk with it throughout your day, effecting different and better results.

3. Encourage yourself and everyone on your path. When you’re encouraged, prayed up and ready for your day, you encourage everyone you interact with (often without even knowing it).

4. Hear an inspirational message that’s designed to empower you to live the awesome life that’s destined for you.

5. Hear from other like minded folks on the spiritual path and gain insight and wisdom from the special guests on the all each morning.

These are just a few reasons. After you join us on the call, you’ll probably have a whole list of your own reasons to get your BOOST each morning.

When we receive inspired ideas, we never know where they will take us. I’m not sure where this idea will lead, which is okay by me. I know it can only empower all of us who are waking early in the morning (before our rebel side arises) to be more of who we were created to be.

Join us. Consider this your personal invitation. And remember to call in 2-3 minutes early, so we can welcome you to the call.

Until then, count your blessings!
