Workbook Exercises for Keep It Simple: Permission to Illuminate your Life Easily

Keep It Simple: Permission to Illuminate Your Life Easily, Effortlessly & Joyfully Work Book Exercise 8-2015 – Accepting Help

~ Gina Briganti ~ Leave a comment

K.I.S. Exercise Accepting Help

Attention givers!  Could you use some balance when it comes to accepting?  You know how good it feels to give when the receiver feels good about what you’re giving, right?  How about when you want to give, and your receiver feels guilty, chastised, like a charity case, depressed, undeserving, etc.?  Not as good, right?

How do you feel about accepting help?  Let’s find out.

Now, for the workbook portion of the exercise! The Kindle version of the workbook is currently only $0.99. Signed copies of the paper workbook can be ordered directly from me.

K.I.S. cover

The statements:

I know that I am good at accepting help.
I trust that I am good at accepting help.
I love that I am good at accepting help.
I accept that I am good at accepting help.

Instructions for plugging in the keys if you haven’t done it before, or if you would like a refresher:

Pg. 14 of the workbook has a space for what you know is true about yourself. If your meditation with the words, “I know that I am good at accepting help,” energized you, comforted you, or in some way felt like it was the one, this is where you’ll write the phrase in and date it. You know how much fun it is to look back on those entries!

Pg. 16 of the workbook is where you’ll write the words, “I trust that I am good at accepting help,” if this is the phrase that gives you a good feeling, energizes you, or in some way adds something to you.

Pg. 17 of the workbook is the place to write, “I love that I am good at accepting help,” if this is the phrase that gives you that loving feeling.

Pg. 18 of the workbook is where you can write, “I accept that I am good at accepting help,” if this is the feeling that resonates most for you.

You can have more than one that feels good, so it’s up to you if you want to write it in more than one way. I think of this as one of the deeper introspections to explore, so please, do be gentle with yourself. Write the dates on each entry so you can visit them or work with them in the future.

Please feel free to get in touch with me privately if this exercise brings up anything you’d like help with. I’m here for you.

As always, thank you for reading,

Keep It Simple Workbook Exercise 2-2015: Nurture The Magic Within

~ Gina Briganti ~ 5 Comments

K.I.S. Exercise 2-2015The reminder to nurture the magic inside of me came when I returned to the work force in September of last year.  Nurturing your magic can come in any form that is natural for you.  For me, it meant remembering that I have extra energy to call on when I need it; it meant having faith in that energy.

I was facing a tough transition going from being self-employed for years to working in an entry-level position in a new field.  I had a nightmare, and felt stressed that I wasn’t going to be able to succeed in my new job.

Lucky for me, my intuition perked up and reminded me that I could call on that special energy inside of me.  Just remembering to do that was all I needed.  Everything changed!  I was energized and confident again.  It didn’t take long to get my first promotion, either!

There is magic inside of you.  Nurture it, and let it open you up to all the wonder you’ve been manifesting.

Now, for the workbook portion of the exercise!  The Kindle version of the workbook is currently only $0.99.  Signed copies of the paper workbook can be ordered directly from me.

 The statements:

I know that I am good at nurturing the magic inside of me.

I trust that I am good at nurturing the magic inside of me.

I love that I am good at nurturing the magic inside of me.

I accept that I am good at nurturing the magic inside of me.

Keep It Simple: Permission to Illuminate Your Life Easily, Effortlessly, & Joyfully Workbook Exercise 9-2014: Letting Others Be Themselves

~ Gina Briganti ~ Leave a comment

K.I.S. 9-2014

 

The other end of the spectrum from being ourselves is letting others be themselves. If the balance works the way a lot of us think it does, then practicing letting others be themselves is essential to allowing others to let us be ourselves.

The practice of letting others be themselves also saves time. If you find your brain working at trying to figure out how someone else should handle a challenge in their life, and then you let go of trying to figure it out for them, you will empower them, and give yourself that time to enjoy your life.

Set aside some time, half an hour at least, or more if your life has been hectically busy, to relax into your own peace. When you are there, work with these statements and record them in your workbook, if you have a physical copy, on your Kindle notes if that’s where you like to keep your notes, or in your journal.

K.I.S. cover

The statements are:

I know that I am good at letting others be themselves.

I trust that I am good at letting others be themselves.

I love that I am good at letting others be themselves.

I accept that I am good at letting others be themselves.

Instructions for plugging in the keys if you haven’t done it before, or if you would like a refresher:

This month’s workbook exercise is “Who I am is good enough.”

How do you feel about this statement in your mind, body, and spirit?  If you’re busy, and you would like to work with this statement, set aside the time you need to look deep inside of yourself.  Relax with yourself.

Feel free to play around with the statements until you find what fits for you. Remember to put a date on them. While you’re there, look at what you have written before. I find those older entries illuminating.

I know that who I am is good enough.

I accept that who I am is good enough.

I love that who I am is good enough.

I trust that who I am is good enough.

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.  I’m here to help.

“Keep It Simple: Permission to Illuminate Your Life Easily, Effortlessly, & Joyfully” Workbook Exercise 6-2014: Problem Solving

~ Gina Briganti ~ Leave a comment

6-2014

 

“Keep It Simple: Permission to Illuminate Your Life Easily, Effortlessly, & Joyfully” has something to celebrate!  It’s now available as an eBook!

 

To celebrate the new format, there will be a special giveaway in the July newsletter.  If you’re not signed up for the newsletter, you can sign up here.

Now I’d like to take the opportunity to help you with solving one of your biggest challenges.  For this exercise,  I recommend choosing only one to work with.  Work with the same challenge until you’re satisfied with the results.  Then move on to another problem.

Choose a time to open your “can of worms” when you can truly devote at least an hour to exploring, journalling, and meditating on it.  Journal all of your thoughts about it.  Ask yourself every question you can think of.  Truly explore every angle you can find to look at.  The purpose of this exercise is to satisfy yourself that you’re not hiding away from something you’re afraid of, or ashamed of.

Take time to breathe through your feelings.  You have 100% of your own attention right now in your mind, your body, and your spirit.  Really let yourself relax and explore.  If you need to forgive yourself, forgive yourself.  If you need to forgive someone else, and you’re ready to, forgive them.  If you need to express a gentle truth, express it.

You will come to a place where your thoughts start to repeat themselves. That’s when you’re ready to look at your problem with the tools from the technique from “In Closing,” in the workbook.  Which one of the three is it?  Is it time to gather more information?  Is it time to allow things to unfold, because you’ve already done all that you can?  Or is it time to take action right away?

If it’s time to take action right away, and you’re not sure which action to take, visit the toolbox in chapter one.  Choose as many of the tools there as appeal to you, and take action.

As always, I’m happy to lend an ear if you have a question.

I’d be honored to hear how problem solving is going for you.  What was in your can of worms?  If you have something private to share, feel free to connect on Facebook or through e-mail.

Much love always,

Gina

Have You Hugged Your WorkBook Today?

~ Gina Briganti ~ 2 Comments

As we bring 2013 to its close many of us have renewed our zeal for what we love and didn’t give enough time to this year. Because I’m looking out for you and want to see you beaming with happiness, I’m going to suggest that you take out your copy of the work book and see what you can add to it. Do you have news to share with your trust, accept, love, or know pages?

Are you at a crossroads and need tools to clarify what it is that‘s ultimately motivating you? Those are in chapter 2. A long list in the toolbox to go through until you get that zing announcing that you’ve found a step to bring you closer to what it is that you want to be closer to.

One of my favorite tools in the work book is on the final page. The one that asks you to simplify your challenges into one of three categories by going into yourself and observing yourself.

If you don’t know what the work book is, it’s my affectionate name for this lovely mouthful – “Keep it Simple: Permission to Illuminate Your Life Easily, Effortlessly, & Joyfully” by yours truly. It’s available right now on Amazon. If you’d like an autographed copy, give me a yodel and we’ll fix that right up.

I wish you oodles and oodles of peace and love in this Happy New Year.
