Playing Your Own Game of Whack-A-Mole

When you live a life of creative visualization, you can plainly see where you are going and where you want to be. The hidden component no one wants to discuss is…Relevant Timing. 

We all relate to the occurrences of “stalling out,” times in life when the perceived rewards are not equal to your efforts.  Your mind tells you to skip ahead in the line of knowing and cut right to the front of the line.  How many times have you tried to do that on your own path to success, pushing forward, creating something out of frustration and boredom only to have yourself playing in your own game of ‘whack a mole,” shoving you back down to where you originally started in line in the first place? 

I understand no one likes serving time through experiences to achieve greatness.  There are times when this is truly the only solution in moving forward to personal power. Your quest in this adventure is patience and balance. When is the right time to seize the moment or wait for the moment to present itself?  Relevant timing is the crucial factor many forget to honor along the way.  We are so caught up in the competition around us to be in the forefront, we lose sight of natural manifestation. It is very challenging to unleash yourself from participating with the ego of winning at all costs; this means dominating the outcome of the natural flow to personal empowerment.  You can do this, but I am telling you there will be no solid foundation to hold your fleeting accomplishments.  Timing is not aligned with your personal experiences. Inexperience will surface and the building will crumble around you. 

How do you handle your personal “stalling out” moments? How can you replace down time with healthy choices? I personally step away and re-connect with friends…. 

Assimilate your own body cues - or intuitive sensing - to signal when relevant timing is present in your life. Seize the moment when experience and timing are present to bring about your creative visions of empowerment.

Celebrate with me!

It is with great pride and joy in my heart  to report…….I.T.’S For You radio program won second place in the 2008 Wisconsin Broadcast Association Awards in Best Radio Show (9am-5pm) in small market.  What an incredible recognition for being on the air now for only two seasons!  

My goal of the show has always been to showcase local community radio as a viable resource to represent world-wide issues, creating a radio program that utilizes both traditional on-air radio (WLKG fm) with internet technology to discuss important issues in each one of our lives.  The show is now being listened to in America and beyond its borders.  SWEET! 

Personally, my past patterns have always been to keep these things quiet and to myself, to celebrate with a few close friends over our favorite bottle of wine, only to push forward with my next goal firmly planted in front of me.  

This time, I am choosing to celebrate this win with you, the people who listen (and read!)  Press releases, a new facebook group  - and even giving myself time to stop and savor these awesome moments of recognition…. 

As an Intuitive Life Coach, combined with my own inner drive, I hardly ever allow myself the space to STOP and SCREAM “YES FOR ME!” Without ego, just pure and simple love for me, the work I do, the people who love and support this effort is usually how I appreciate.

 

Is there something in your life this week that you have accomplished where you can STOP with me and SCREAM “YES FOR ME!” for yourself? 

Join me every week, listen on-air (Lake 96l fm) and on-line at www.lake961.com Sunday mornings from 9-10am (CST).  Follow the guests and after radio talk on my facebook page and twitter. 

 

 Create it, believe it and live it with me this week….

In loving gratitude, Jillian

Owls, Eagles and Wolves, OH MY!

j-animals

I just finished the 4 week series of my radio program, “I.T.’S For You”, on animals. Some people around me were concerned on how I was going to tie life coaching and the animal kingdom together….   

The goal of this exercise we call life is transposing ourselves to the highest loving, caring human beings we can be.  Teachers will present themselves throughout our time here in all forms, including the most humble - the animal world.  Whether wild or domesticated, random or planned event, their messages abound.  

In this series, I explain the difference between unconscious symbolic messages that reside in our dream-state and the conscious symbolic lessons during our waking hours with the study of totem animals. With that understanding, let me share with you the animals that have crossed my path in one form or another this incredible week. For crying out loud, it is only Thursday!  

Bald Eagle:  Patience, all things are possible. Watch your speech and how it affects others (how appropriate for my life, right?) 

Wolf:  Balance, Stamina, Strength and Confidence 

Two different kinds of Hawks: Pay close attention, messages coming your way. 

Owl:  Aids in maneuvering through your own personal fears 

As you can imagine I am researching and honoring the animal world for presenting themselves to me.  What animal symbols are crossing your path? What incidents with animals from your past can you remember like it was yesterday?  Did you “get it” or did you “miss it?”

Are you too “Pollyanna” for you own Good?

Years ago I remember having a heated discussion (it is not politically correct to have an argument anymore) with one of my dearest friends.  I told her she lived life like a Pollyanna, always looking at the bright side of everything - and everyone - for that matter.  I was bound and determined that day to convince her to experience all sides of the issue and understand the severity of consequences to the actions we were taking if it did not turn out the way we projected.  She absolutely refused to surrender to the negative thoughts, convinced the outcome would result in nothing less than spectacular.  Believe it or not, it did turn out well.  It took me a while to grow into this same kind of gracious understanding, but I am trilled to report I live each and every day now with this underlying truth. 

I recite this life story to preface my new series on my radio program entitled: “I.T.’s For You.”  We are moving into a time in history where our attitudes play as much of a role in the outcome of a prosperous future as our underlying actions.  I absolutely refuse to surrender to the dark thoughts swirling around in the conscious minds of us all, bypassing the survivalist mentality and skipping straight to the THRIVING mode for myself and for everyone else.  

There is essential work to be accomplished by all of us to shift through our pre-determined adjustments on the course to economic enlightenment.  Join me when I present the next series; How to Thrive In These Hard Times.  Sunday mornings, 9am-10am on 961 fm, Lake Geneva, WI and on-line worldwide at www.lake961.com

Loving Love

As I find myself in the middle of my life cycle here on earth, I have become a loving fool for others. I rarely miss the opportunity to love someone or to be loved by another. The part I overlooked along this journey was to leave some of that unconditional loving for myself in the process.

In the new series on my radio program “I.T.’S For You with Jillian Maas Backman, I have been sharing my thoughts on the 4 Fundamentals of Beauty - Revealed. The characteristics I find beautiful in others: sophistication, appreciation, self-awareness, self presentation and love.

This week’ topic is:

Love, the Diamond to Your Soul
The beauty of finding it, keeping it, and nourishing it for you

Join me this Sunday, 9 am (CST) on Lake 961 fm (Chicago) or online at www.lake961.com when I talk amore with Ellen Whitehurst from Redbook and IVillage and find out how you can find your diamond love in the rough.

I have chosen to be vulnerable in the wake of love compared to an observer on the shore watching it flow by, too afraid to jump for fear of crashes against the rocks of failure.

With loving gratitude,
Jillian
