“I feel like I did something wrong,” my client, Sarah, said. “I tried and tried to think myself healthy, but somehow I ended up back in the hospital! I don’t understand!”
She had recently come home from the hospital, after being seriously ill. She wanted to feel better, and was trying to will herself to be better. But one evening, she knew beyond a doubt she had to go back. And so she did.
As her story unfolded, she shared that one evening her husband left, she was feeling a bit sorry for herself. Flipping through the channels on her TV, she came across Joel Osteen, a well-known minister, giving a sermon.
“Bloom where you are planted, “ he said. “Appreciate what is going on around you right here, right now. Trust that you are exactly where you need to be. Be happy about it. Give thanks for everything you can see. Offer your faith to God that your life is just what – and where – God needs it to be.”
She said she felt he was speaking directly to her. In that moment, she relaxed. She stopped trying to will something into being. She just decided she’d appreciate what was going on in her life. She decided to bloom where she was planted.
And so she began, “I’m grateful for the drugs I’m getting. I’m grateful for the nurses. I’m grateful they are figuring out what’s wrong with me. I’m grateful for the care here in this wonderful hospital. I’m grateful for how clean it is here. I’m grateful that I don’t have to worry about taking care of anything. I’m grateful that my husband and my sons have come to see me. I’m grateful that I’m so loved.”
And in her relaxing and just “being,” she began to heal. She began to get better very quickly. Within a few short days, she was well enough to be released.
When we talked later, she shared this story with me. She wanted to understand why she hadn’t been able to will herself into being better. And even more, she wanted to understand why she hadn’t been able to avoid it to begin with.
She told me how she had been upset with herself for getting so sick. She couldn’t understand why she had done this to herself. She was healthy, she had a good relationship with her husband and her sons, she had sufficient abundance. What was going on?
I suggested that maybe she didn’t need to know right now about the “why” of it. That, perhaps more than anything, her job was to do just what she learned in the hospital … to simply appreciate what she had right here, right now, and let go of her desire to know why it all came about. And to trust that the “why” would be revealed in time.
Hearing this softened her. She was able to return to a soft state of allowing and trusting, and let go of needing to understand all of the bigger reasons, which often don’t show up in our lives until time has passed.
The irony here is that in the appreciating of those around us, and appreciating the things that are going right and well in our lives actually gets us more of what we want. It acts as a magnet for us to see more – more wonderfulness, more health, more joy, more love, more abundance. But we have to do the work of appreciating. We have to do the work of being grateful.
Our work is to get out of our heads and into our hearts, to stop trying to figure things out and to stop worrying about them. Our work is to just simply be.
Be gratitude. Be appreciation. Be love. Be joy. Be humor. Be peace. Be kindness. Be compassion. Be grace. Be abundance.
Because it is in the being that we then are in the space to manifest what we want. More health, more joy, more peace, more love, more abundance, more ideas, more happiness.
And that is what we all want.
Your Action Steps
1. Look at your life and answer these questions:
a. Where are you spending time and energy?
b. What are you worrying about?
c. What are you making yourself wrong for?
d. What can you appreciate right here, right now?
2. Decide you will start appreciating your life – even the little things that believe me, if you didn’t have, aren’t so little … like your feet carrying you around, or your fingers picking things up, or your teeth for chewing.
3. Say “Thank you!” to everything you can see and to everyone you see (even if you say it in your heart and not out loud).
4. Choose today to be grateful. This moment, right here, right now. Be grateful even for something that you are struggling with. Be grateful for the parties involved. Be grateful for the challenge to learn and grow (because you are learning and growing through it!). Just say “Thank you!”
5. Have fun with it!
I participated in Anne's Platinum Mastermind and just had the most amazing 2 ½ days at our retreat. It was absolutely fabulous! I'm so glad I came ... all the way from England!
Anne is the person I go to when I'm confused, stressed and need clarity in my business. She helps me see where I'm getting in my own way. She is an expert at helping me zero in on exactly what I need to shift out of my funk. Once that's done, I have a renewed sense of enthusiasm and am delighted to be back on track. She's gentle, yet persistent, and holds me accountable to my own true heart's desires.
Thank you so much for the generous gift of your time and wisdom today! I really feel like I made a real quantum leap today! My idea now feels more like a physical reality and less like a dream!
I am really looking forward to working with you!
Truly amazing!
Your uplifting presence, the energy and dynamism of your voice and the power of your workshop...wow, wow, wow. You are the light.
Before I worked with Rev. Anne I was completely blocked. It was impacting me physically, spiritually, and emotionally. My family’s finances had not improved in over five years. I was holding myself accountable for things that I had no control over. During our work, Rev. Anne helped me in less than a minute to figure out what my block was.
Rev. Anne is an amazing life coach and healer. Because of our working together I have been able to see things I hadn’t seen before. Wonderful things happened to my family in a very short time following our time together, including my husband getting a job back in his profession again and my winning a scholarship to attend a seminar weekend for my business!
I’ve just participated in Anne Presuel’s Platinum Mastermind and you know, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. I realized how truly connected I am to what I’m doing with my work and how and why I’m doing it. I highly recommend it to everyone!
I simply adore your CDs and recommend them so highly!
Loving your Unlimited Wealth CD. I’ve been listening daily. Received unexpected check in the mail yesterday! Thank you God!
I took part in Anne’s Platinum Mastermind group and attended the retreat. It was 2 1/2 amazing days where I got so much support and love and direction and help with my branding and marketing. It was phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal.
I truly feel that working with you has been instrumental to my six-figure success this past year (my first year of being a solopreneur)!
Thank you so much for the EFT session we had today. I feel like I have lost about 100 lbs of old baggage. I must tell you all the releasing that was done today has healed my kidneys.
I've had problems with my kidneys for about 17 years. And I have tried kidney cleanses and drinking water and Reiki and this is truly a miracle as far as I am concerned.
You are an amazing intuitive healer, I'm so glad the Universe led me to you!
Since listening to your Wealth CD, I have received two promotions (the second of them was to my ideal job)!
Anne has been a superb business coach. She steered us in a direction she sensed we were intended for and it has made all the difference for us. She has kept us on track, given us guidance and remained completely accessible.
We’ve truly benefited from her experience and her ideas, her heart-centered insightfulness and, most of all, her unfaltering belief in us.
Working with Anne, I gained new skills and tools to move my business in a new direction, how to make more money! I’m so grateful I was in her Platinum Mastermind group! Thank you, Anne!
I am filled with awe to think of the immense influence you and your incredible gifts have had on me, and the degree to which I have grown personally and spiritually since working with you. I have gone from not knowing what intuition is to completely trusting the information I receive and making confident decisions to act upon that information.
My business - and my life - have both profited in innumerable ways because of working with you!
Your CDs create such a space of joy and bliss so that it is helping us to open up and allow what we want to come to us. My daughter and I are seeing such wonderful changes in our lives!
For anyone who hasn't enjoyed your affirmation CD's, they're missing out on quite a treat!
Doors are still opening from our session! I am so blessed with joy and I am seeing that opportunity is available at every hand. I am finding it incredibly easy to bring into manifestation my heart's inner most desire!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Anne, you're the best teacher I've ever had! You bring clarity where there was confusion and darkness. You rock girl!
You are amazing and gifted! Thank you!
I have absolutely adored working with you, Anne. You have had a monumental impact on my life. When I first came to you I had so many issues, and so things going on. You brought so much clarity to all of those situations. I have learned I can manifest in ways that I never dreamt, which has shocked me so totally and made me feel so powerful. This was so new for me, and oh wow, it is so freeing to realize this!
I would highly recommend learning about how our intuition works – and working with Anne – to anybody who wants to connect to their inner guidance so they can move forward on a really solid basis.
Thank you very much, Anne!
Anne helped me use a more simple process for strategy sessions with prospective clients. In a recent session with a potential client, she signed up for my highest priced package, despite the fact that she stated that she didn't have money to invest in coaching right now!
Thank you, Anne!
After listening to your Health CD, I lost 7 pounds in less than a month, had fewer cravings, and wanted to exercise!
Working with Anne as a Diamond VIP client, I’ve gotten more than what I expected. Choosing her as my coach has been brilliant. She has taken me from “I have no idea what I'm doing” to “Whoopee! I've got a plan, I know where I'm going and I've got support from someone whose been there and knows how to go beyond the limitations, the fears, the ‘What if's’.”
At first I wasn't too sure because of the 'Rev thing' in front of her name. But my concern quickly dissipated. She has been AMAZING and continues to be! When you combine a great sense of humour (essential for me!) with insights that just seem to flow so easily from her (intuition on steroids!), it was a no-brainer to hire her as my coach initially and to re-hire her again.
After just two sessions with Anne, I sold my first package for $1,200 to a client, and another package for $3,500 just a week later! Not only was it easy, it was fun!
The Inner Circle made a tremendous impact on my life and it changed me in numerous ways.
Before I started this coaching program, I was pretty confused and overwhelmed with my what direction to take my healing practice and how to market it and get the word out to people who would be interested in working with me.
Once I started the course, I got some great support from Rev. Anne in terms of direction and the focus for the marketing part of the business and the group itself.
I got the support I needed to help me boost my self- confidence and also to boost my self-image as a powerful intuitive.
I’m so glad I did it!
