[Current OWWL Journey] Taking a sabbatical and good news!
You may have read on Tuesday about the “poop filter,” and how it messes up communication. So when my daughter said, “I don’t want your help; I just want to be left alone,” my friend Kathy told me about the filter and reminded me to not take it personally.
So in deference to my dear daughter, I am taking a sabbatical from “helping” her. This is rough on me, as a natural nurturer. But I love her and choose to heed her wishes.
So I’m taking a short sabbatical…a couple of weeks of no contact via phone or text. I’m also taking exquisite personal self-care in the meantime: more sleep, good nutrition and exercise, being with friends, and attending a training conference with my girlfriend/colleagues.
Good News! My book manuscript is now ready for production! This is a project of the heart that has finally come to fruition. I’ll let you know when it is in print. In the meantime, what title do you prefer, or do you have another idea? Leave your suggestions below…
- Lose Weight for Life: 9 Unconscious Reasons You Can’t Keep Your Weight Off and What to Do About It
- The Missing Ingredient: When Exercise and Diet Aren’t Enough to Keep Your Weight Off
- Fat Between The Ears: Shifting Sabotage Patterns so Weight Loss is Never a Problem Again
Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts on the title, and thank you to all who are supporting me personally and professionally.
Warmly,
P.S. Do you know someone who is ready to be the best version of themselves and to change their world exponentially this year? Maybe you? Please invite them to apply for a private, no-obligation consultation. I have a limited number of slots remaining.
Success Story:
So thank you so much for being a part of my life. You have no idea how big of an influence you have played in my life, in turn, a part of my entire part of my family’s life. Thank you!

[O.W.W.L. Success Tip] You’re not finished with 2014 yet!
Happy New Year! But wait. You are not finished with 2014 until you have let go of any bad vibes or energy concerning what you did or did not do. Completion is a powerful ontological tool. The energy of being complete frees us up to step powerfully into what’s next. For this reason, we MUST be complete with 2014, what we did do or what we didn’t do, so that we don’t hold ourselves back in 2015 due to incompletion hanging over us from the prior year.
Below I have included same questions I offer my clients so that you can really acknowledge what you have done this year, create your celebrations, and design what is next for you in 2015. Powerful stuff to spring forward into 2015!
Janis’ Year-End Completion Exercise:
- List all the categories for which you want to do completion. (E.g. work, family, money, health, career, each coaching project, etc.)
- For each category, list all your accomplishments & progress, big and small.
- If you have a “yes, but…” regarding Incompleteness as you write your accomplishment list, start a separate list for those and get back to them later. (E.g. I lost 10 pounds, but I didn’t lose 20.)
- Read back your accomplishment list and “be with” it. Take it in; savor it; relish!
- Choose some rewards and/or celebrations for all you have done and been in 2014. Enjoy planning, scheduling, and creating the celebrations.
- Look at the incomplete list and make declarations about them. (E.g. “I will put this in a new project design for 2015” or “I am satisfied with my progress on this and declare it to be complete.”
- Create/design new intentions and projects for 2015.
Happy Prosperous New Year!

[OWWL Success Tip] Change
How do you relate to change?
My sister began rearranging furniture and throwing out old magazines, evoking her husband’s grumpiness and upset. He doesn’t like change. My friend jumps from one multi-level marketing company to another when something “better” comes along. She loves change.
Change in business niche, direction, expansion, contraction, as well as in personal arenas, has entailed growth and evolution for me through the years, but with my reluctance and courage every time I left a comfort zone. What is your relationship to change?
Success Tip: Embrace change as growth and evolution, but don’t jump at each “shiny object that comes along.”
My pattern of change has been to stay with something longer than I should have, long after I knew better. But I second guessed myself and analyzed things to death. Then, when the time was right and my courage was greater than my fear, I made the change with 100% commitment, not looking back (mostly). So, no, I’m not a person to jump at every new, shiny opportunity. And, no, I don’t get stuck forever. My careers have evolved as follows:
- college drop out
- housewife/mother
- college graduate with Master’s Degree
- C.P.A.
- Senior Sales Director, Mary Kay Cosmetics
- Life, Business, and Executive Coach
- Founder – Ontological Weight Loss Programs: Your Once-in-a-Lifetime Solution
- Founder – Weight of Money Breakthrough Programs
- Founder – Coaches’ Certification and Training Programs
- NEW CHANGE: Janis Charlton Pullen – Mastery Coach in Ontological Wealth, Weight, and Leadership

The value I have received as a recipient of her coaching, as a workshop participant, or audience member is invaluable, important, and life-altering. Janis is a woman who walks her talk. I recommend Janis as a leader, speaker, or coach, and I am grateful for the opportunity to sing her praises.

[Success Tip] What’s Your Recipe for Success?
Studies show that successful people have common traits and activities which not only contribute to their success but are imperative to achieving success. You could say it’s a recipe for success which, like a Betty Crocker cake mix, is tried and true.
Success Tip Determine your recipe for success and don’t trade or diminish the ingredients.
In working with my Executive Platinum Program Coaching clients in areas of Wealth, Weight, and Leadership, these are the crucial areas of focus in order to succeed:
- Well-being (self-care)
- Integrity (whole and complete, keeping promises, etc.)
- Sabotage patterns (conscious and unconscious)
- Context (perspectives and beliefs)
- Relationship with self, others, and the world
- Communication, connection, & relationship skills
- Time management
- Relationship with money, time, and stress
- Vision and purpose
- Forward momentum by combining being and being in action
Do you have a recipe for success? If so, which of these areas have you included in your recipe? Which of these areas is missing or weak? If you would like help with your Winning Recipe, please let me know.
Successfully yours,
Success Story:
We decide to do the O.W.L. Weight Loss Program as a couple because we both struggle with weight and wanted to be at a healthier weight. We support each other, we understand what the other person is going through, and we are eating the same foods. If you are both serious and committed about the program having a partner is one of the best tools around. We keep each other accountable, we support each other and we celebrate together.
