Thank you for the RutBuster series. You are doing great work with all the motivation, information and guidance you provide. My personal business practices have definitely
been positively impacted. Like you have said, “something switches over in your mind” and suddenly your out of the Rut and on your way.

Thanks again,

Terry

I had so many commitments that had to be completed yesterday. Some were six months old. I woke up every day exhausted and demoralized. There was no chance I could complete even the tasks on the table for the day ahead. I’d feel better as the day wore on and I’d get things done, but by nightfall the terrors of what was hanging over me would return and bother me throughout the night.
I got to my feet and looked at my “Smart-phone.” There was an e-mail from Deb asking if I wanted to join the Rut-Busting Challenge. No, I did not want to join any challenge. I had enough challenges, but there it was as if an answer to my prayers. I was in so much pain that I joined that day.

I identified my top priority rut as Time-management. I had a hard time figuring out what I was supposed to do. I was making it complicated. After a week or so I joined a coaching call and admitted I was making it harder than it had to be. I made everything harder than it had to be. My perfectionism was standing in my way.

I customized the program to work for me. In the beginning I wrote every day, but what was the most helpful was the mantra I modified from the Power of Three and hints Deb had given me.

“I, Dia, easily choose the thoughts, feelings, beliefs and actions that free me to live the life and lifestyle of my dream. I am a successful creative writer. I write children’s books, short stories, plays, screenplays and novels, also memoirs and essays. I wake up every day excited that I am closer to my dream. Faith.”

I say that 3 times. The second time I say it I add Focus. The third time I add Fun. Then I say what I’m grateful for. Just one or two things that come to my mind right then. I end with Light, Love, Abundance and Release, Relax, Allow three times.

Within a few weeks I started working on my first book. Not the great novel I’ve always planned to write, but a 36 page children’s book. Everything fell into place. I asked my friend to do the design. She’s brilliant at graphic design and is building her business. She uploaded the book and we self-published it online. By June 26 I had a copy of Puffy Coyote Adventure in White Sands in my hands.

It is an adorable story. The design is gorgeous. I am in love with it. The manager of the bookstore at White Sands National Monument wants to put it on the shelves. Anyone can buy it on Lulu.com. Maybe I’ll take Puffy to Carlsbad Caverns next. Or maybe I’ll start working on a short story or the novel I’ve always wanted to write or all of it. I’d say that’s a breakthrough.

Thank you, Deb.
