She’s Baaaacckk… The Holistic Nurse Entrepreneur emerges from the dust. “Where has Elizabeth been?” you might be asking yourself. I went to an Online Business Breakthrough Conference with my own coach and forgot to tell all of you that I would be gone! My bad. But my oh my, was the conference oh so GREAT!

Every single trip, and I mean EVERY trip I take, I feel as if I leave a little girl and return a brand new woman. What’s funny is I have felt this on at least half a dozen trips already… so what does that make me, like eighty?

Have you ever felt like that? You leave one way and return so much stronger, clearer, and with lots more wisdom. You come back with a greater confidence, more insights, and lots of energy. Man… I do, as I said, every single time. Maybe that’s why I love to travel so much.

Maybe I love to travel because on each trip there are so many beautiful lessons learned. I have so many to share; I almost don’t know where to start. Here we go… (beware- this blog post may seem a bit all over the place, but what I can do is bullet off each ‘lesson learned’ for easier reading):

• My lack mentality was THE thing that was holding me back. WOW. Huge ‘AHA!’ At this years conference I realized that by embracing the new tools of abundance that I have been integrating into my life all summer… I am totally doing it. I am confident; I am sure of myself; I am a holistic nurse entrepreneur. Look at your own life. What do you worry about? Where are you unsure? Is there any sense of ‘not good enough’ or ‘I don’t have enough’ that is holding you back? When you let go of lack and embrace the notion that you have everything you need right now- doors will blast open for you!
• I can change (and you can too) if I want to. I’ve been going to this conference for three years now. Each year I am quiet, reserved, and I keep to myself. It’s almost that I feel (no, it is)- I felt shy. I didn’t enjoy networking with the others. I kept my distance. I felt alone. Now that I am confident, sure of myself, and comfortable in my own skin this year was SO much different! I was social, enjoyed myself, and talked with a lot of interesting people. And it showed. At least half a dozen people said to me, “Wow, you sure must be doing something right… you are SO different!” Look at your own behavior. Where do you hold back? How do you feel uncomfortable or unsure? It’s time to change all of that. Accept and love yourself for who you are right now. You are perfect just the way you are. Just be you and life will be so much easier (trust me, I know).

There were many other lessons learned, but I don’t want to bore you with all of the details. It just is so amazing to me that each trip I take I come home with new knowledge. But even more than that- new and greater appreciations of myself. As my self.

I encourage you to take out a piece of paper or sit in quiet for a moment. Reflect on you. What makes you you? How are you special? What gifts do you bring? You are so worth it and you deserve love.

Love yourself, accept yourself, and be comfortable being you and I am telling you… life will flow easily along. Sit back and enjoy the ride!
