[O.W.W.L. Success Tip] What to do when your willpower fades
We are now two weeks into the new year and many of us have declared and begun action toward New Year’s Resolutions. Excitement and determination moved us forward. Willpower may be keeping us in motion. But at some point your willpower will evaporate, no matter how strong of a person you are. Do you know what to do about it?
O.W.W.L. Success Tip: Don’t ever rely on willpower!
Resolutions fade and disappear in a few weeks. We predictably revert back into our old habits and go surely to back to our former patterns of behavior, unless something changes. And after so many failures, we become frustrated, resigned and hopeless.
If you are to succeed in achieving your New Year’s Resolutions or 2014 goals, you need something more than willpower. You need commitment and inspiration that surpasses any temporary will. You must identify the root causes of why you got here in the first place (fat, broke, whatever). You must make peace with yourself and forgive what you have done in the past. You must dissolve resignation and replace it with understanding and forgiveness. You must find a vision larger than your resistance, get the support you need, discover new patterns of behavior that work for you, learn to express emotions and remove stress safely, and most of all learn to love and empower yourself.
I know you can achieve whatever you desire. But your work is not to be done by willpower alone. Your work must be transformation.
To your transformation in 2014,

[My Current Weight Loss Journey] The flu! I missed two days of eating…a miracle?
I am recovering from the flu over the holidays. I never knew that you could actually miss two days of eating unless you were in love or on a fast! Yet, my appetite totally disappeared. What do they say…”Feed a cold; starve a fever”? Well the fever wanted to be starved, because I couldn’t imagine eating anything last week and am still having trouble looking forward to anything but soup. It wasn’t stomach flu either.
Although I felt irritated at first about being ill, including the inconvenience and suffering involved, I feel grateful in some respects, because my body is now cleaned out and rested. It’s as though my body was signaling me to rest and to also give my digestion a rest so that I could have a jump start of energy and focus in January.
What is your relationship to illness? Do you get annoyed? Do you view it as a time to lay low and heal? Do you allow people to serve and support you? I’m interested to hear your reflections.

The most “WOW” part of Janis for me, is the ownership that she takes in working with you! She approaches the relationship as a “Partnership”, which means that she takes a “Personal stake” in your results. This approach inspires you to follow her guidance and do the work because you know that she cares as much as you do about your progress!

[O.W.W.L. Success Tip] Sending you my gifts of Peace, Joy, and Serenity and how to get them
I have been thinking of you recently. Have you been feeling stressed out lately? Are you up to your ears in travel, family, spending money, cooking, or any other “to do’s”? Would you like to know how to give yourself the gifts of Peace, Joy, and Serenity?
O.W.W. L. Success Tip: Decide not to let the outer world dictate your stress reactions.
We have no control over events, people, or circumstances. What do we have control over? We can control the meanings we give things and the relationship we have to stress. In other words, we can’t control the outer circumstances, but we can control how we think about them – our inner world.
If you are making this busy time mean stress, frantic, over-worked, and anxious and if your relationship to stress is that it’s bad, here are my tips for shifting to Peace, Joy, and Serenity:
- Clean up your vocabulary…use “busy, excited, productive” instead of “overwhelmed, stressed, too much to do.”
- Be curious about why you are stressed out. Is it because you don’t think you’ll be appreciated, loved, or respected if you don’t get it all done? Is it because of unrealistic expectations? Is it because you think you have to be perfect? Is it because you are judging others or yourself? What’s all that about?
- Declare that you will not be stressed out, and look for alternatives to make things easier. Take a stand for yourself.
- Take good care of yourself.
- Ask for support everywhere. Separate, alone, and hard is one of the sabotage patterns we learn to dismantle in the Janis Pullen and O.W.L. coaching programs.
- Shift criticism to gratitude. Isn’t this self-explanatory? An attitude of gratitude for everything everyday creates the Peace, Joy, and Serenity you want.
- Adopt a mantra such as, “All is well” to practice daily.
- Contact me at www.JanisPullen.com to schedule a complimentary coaching session.
- Consider hiring a life/business/health coach as a gift to yourself.
I believe you can have a wonderful holiday season and finish your year with grace and ease. I believe you can have the calm and love you want. You are a precious gift to those who love you. Take care of you.

[O.W.W.L. Success Tip] Did you give yourself a gift this year…investment in yourself?
This is a time of year when people are in the gift-giving mode. One of the success tips I teach at any time of year is being kind, loving, and giving to yourself. It helps on an ontological level by practicing self-worth, and it helps on a facilitative level as it supports velocity in achieving results. As you wrap gifts for others, consider giving yourself the gift of support for your 2014 goals. We have a couple of programs that would be great gifts for you and your business. Please read the P.S. at the bottom of this article to read how you can get support to make more money next year.
O.W.W. L. Success Tip: Giving yourself incentives, support, and rewards increases the velocity at which you produce results.
When you have a huge vision, the support you need to keep you going, and acknowledgement/rewards for the progress you are making, you don’t get stuck as often nor as long. You stay in your full power with no lost time trying to get unstuck. Your subconscious mind says, “Oh goodie! I’m being rewarded for this; I want to do more of it!”
On the other hand, if you try to power through and do things without the support or reward elements, the journey is harder and more complicated in your mind. All successful people have coaches, whether it be in athletics, business, birthing a baby, or turning finances around. Consider our two offers to support you in 2014, but if you don’t work with me, work with someone!
Believing in your ability to accomplish you New Year’s goals,

Success Story
“Janis is a wonderful coach with real life experience to stand behind. Because Janis has been there, she understands the challenges and excuses that arise for everyone; thus she is able to motivate, encourage and guide her clients through their obstacles.
And somehow she always knows the right questions to ask in order to get to the real issue that keeps her clients in bondage to their addiction(s) and/or behaviors.
I am forever grateful to Janis for her commitment to sowing into my life and helping me reach my weight loss goal of 50+ pounds. I couldn’t have done it without her.”
Thank you,

[Success Tip] Does Lack of Trust Make Me Fat and Broke?
What does trust have to do with success? So many times, we who are control freaks, cynics, perfectionists, or people-pleasers carry too much physical weight and also the weight of money because of compulsive, obsessive behaviors, such as eating, spending, or working too hard, as we try to control everything.
These compulsions can come from lack of trust of us, others, or the Divine.
[Success Tip] Consider giving trust as a gift.
This week how about practicing trust as a gift?
Not because someone earned it, but because you chose to trust. Will you trust yourself in making a powerful decision or trusting your intuition? Will you trust your partner by asking for help? Will you trust God/higher power to handle what you cannot handle alone? Choosing to give trust expands your world. Greater success in any project is enhanced when you trust yourself, others, and the process.
As I mentioned last week, I have worked with many couples in business, relationship, and weight loss. The mutual support is incredible, especially when accountability and integrity are at stake, for instance in sticking to a food plan, exercise regimen, deadline, or budget. When we work with a buddy, we shift several unconscious sabotage patterns, including “Separate and Alone,” “Addiction to Suffering,” and “Playing Small.” Also the ability to celebrate milestones together makes it much more fun, which adds velocity to the process. But before we can fully appreciate the power of partnering, we have to be willing to trust the partner, ourselves, and the partnership.
Speaking of trusting a partner, if you and your partner are overweight and would like a proven Weight Loss Quick Start together, please visit http://www.owlweightloss.com/programs/couples-quick-start-program/ for details and registration information.
See the Success Story below for how partnership works for a couple trusting each other and doing their work together.
Trusting you to trust others,
