033: A Heart-Centered Way To Prepare Yourself For Important Meetings.

When you think about it, life is just a series of meetings.

Some make your heart race with giddy anticipation, like auditions, interviews, new client pitches, dates... You want these to go well.

Others make your neck and shoulders tighten, because you dread the people, the purpose, or both. But since your presence is somehow required, you want those to go well, too. For either type, here's a fun and easy experiment to try:
​

1. BEFORE the meeting, see/imagine the person/people you are meeting with.
   
   
2. Now, see/imagine them happy and fulfilled. Wish it for them like you would wish it for yourself, your lover, your child. This is the entire practice. Doing it will cleanse and enlarge your heart. Uncover aversion. Remove resistance. It will make you a better artist, businessperson, and human in general. It will also make you feel fantastic. Because it reinforces the wonderful idea that you've got so much GOODNESS to spare, you just splish-splash it all around you... wildly and without measure! You identify more as fountain, than sponge. The truth about you is that you do have goodness to spare!
   
   
3. AFTER the meeting, continue to do this as often as they return to your mind. If their face pops in your thoughts, make it an automatic response to see them happy and fulfilled. If they persist in your thoughts, send them a quick note or call of care.

Since practicing this as a habit, I've noticed:

• a much higher quality of connection with people;
• a fuller and deeper understanding of success;
• MORE desired meetings fill my calendar;
• FEWER dreaded meetings make it to my calendar; and
• when you genuinely want to see someone else's garden flourish, your own tomatoes get juicier and bigger than ever!

If you are in my network, or on my radar, know that someone is rooting for you... hoping for your expedient happiness and success. ♥
