hahah ...DAMN! I must be scarry...hahah.
ALSO, I haven't DRANK ALCOHOL since SUNDAY!!! NOTHING!!!! There was a few occasions this week that I could have, but NO!! I didn't...not to mention there is a shot or two in the freezer as well, and I haven't touched it!! 
!
I'm not sure if I want to drink tonight either! Going to an Argentinian Restaurant for Salmon and Salad dinner tonight!
They always have these little breads that you can splash this OIL with PARSLEY on it, and YUM!! I might have at max 2 little breads the size of my two thumbs each. hmm... Plan to park 2 miles from the restaurant and then walk to the restaurant and walk back =4 miles , get in the car (maybe) and then walk to Universal Studios City Walk and catch a movie = 2 more miles at least!!
I'm kind of not seeing the point to drinking with all that walking. I'll probably be sober by the time I get there, and I will have consumed unecessary calories, SOOOO not drinking looks cheaper and slimmer, not to mention WISER!!! Definitely not FUNNER though. Boo.!!!
...maybe I'll hold off on drinking until the wedding Next weekend and see how much I can really smash!!! I'm thinking tonight will be a nice 6-7 mile walk after it's all said and done!!! It's been getting SUPER hot here lately, but today is CLOUDY and sprinkled! Go figure! California for ya!

I accomplished my public speaking fear!!!!
!!! You guys are AMAZING!!! !!!! I love adore all your support! I realize that this forum is something that will ALWAYS bring me joy, entertainment, and excitement, and revelations, because you are all TRULY FANTASTIC! I am honored!!!
I DID IT!!! I OVERCAME MY FEAR!!!!
So yesterday night, I taught my FIRST 2 hour SELF HYPNOSIS class to about 12 individuals!!! I was SOOOOOOOOOO NERVOUS and you all had no idea how many times I tried talking myself out of it! I even sent the admissions director an email that very morning yesterday telling him that I didn't feel comfortable and that he was going to HATE me for cancelling SAME day!! I purposely sabotaged myself throughout the weekend and didn't study any longer as I should have been! My FEAR overcame me!! I felt disappointed, shitty, and a failure all in myself for just thinking of me not going through with an OPPORTUNITY that I had dreamed for! It was now at my door, and I wanted to CLOSE IT!!!
I had called the school and the clinic yesterday morning to make sure that they got my email, and they could find someone else to do it, and MY HYPNOTHERAPIST, Michelle, picked up the phone and WOULDN'T ALLOW me to sabotage myself! She talked my into it with FAITH in me, and STERNESS in her voice and IT WORKED!!!! Both the admissions rep and Michelle had so much FAITH in me and my abilities that they didn't allow for me to do that to myself, along with a little pep talk from the DIRECTOR of the entire institution.
...At first I got into the class and felt NERRRRRRVOUSSSS as another lady introduced me as the SPEAKER!!!!! Ahhhhhhh....everyone just STARED at me!! hahah!
I then took a deep breath and started, and I had a little bit of notes the size of my palm and just started TALKING and making them interact with me and tell me why they were there!!! That broke the ice! ! I was REAL and DOWN TO EARTH because I realize that connecting with people and me and my story is the only way that I can come across for me to find comfort. I am human and I LOVE relaying that to others, and the fact that we ALL are and that we can ALL use self improvement CONSTANTLY!!
I got AMAZING feedback from the people in the class! They said I was INTERESTING, and that the GROUP HYPNOSIS part was AMAZING, and I have a very relaxing voice and a way of relaying information in a fun way!!! They really felt in tune and learned the tools that they can use for themselves to enter self hypnosis!!! ALL IN ALL, I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED IT!!!
This was an HUGGGE hurdle for me to overcome and if I didn't do it yesterday, I don't know if they would have ever offered me another opportunity like that, let alone WHEN and IF I would have ever got over it!
I was able to market myself as well as show them valuable tools and lessons on how their own mind works as well as what the school provides!!! I did my job! I saw people taking tons of notes and everyone felt very comfortable asking me questions! ! I accomplished my goal!!!
I now feel CONFIDENT enoughto market myself to GROUPS and to offer myself to give FREE TALKS at places to possibly get more clients!!! Something that is essential for me! One day.....I do dream of being just like my Hypnotherapist Michelle and TRAVEL THE WORLD GIVING SEMINARS, and SPEECHES, and HELPING THE MASSES (one by one) and BEING A MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER, and HAVING AN ONLINE PRACTICE and BEING FULL TIME!!!! OMG!!! HOW I WOULD LOVEEEEE THAT!!! I can actually see myself talking in front of THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE!!!
...yesterday...was STEP NUMBER ONE!!! I DID IT!!! I feel like a SUPERSTAR!!! God definitely spoke THROUGH me!! Love that GUY!! MUAH GOD!!!!!
This Thursday, I am going to a HUGE networking convention at a CONVENTION center for thousands of people!! I hope to market myself and leave with at LEAST 300 leads!!! Talk away I will!!

Hey Alta, loving your post regarding the class you gave. I didnt think you would try to pull out that day I honestly thought that you would just do it but it is great that the guys there managed to talk you round and you went ahead with it. I bet you felt great afterward!!
I give presentations to large groups regularly and have been invited to be a guest speaker at events etc. I know a few people on the circuit who do similar stuff to me and some of them remain nervous always and forever. They feed off their own nerves. Me personally... I love it. I get a great kick out of public speaking and presenting to or training large groups. My largest to date has been a group of about 600. I find that preparation is the key. If you are over prepared you can often sound like you are reading a book and that is boring to the audience. If you are under prepared you have a feeling that you are kind of winging it a bit and that can make you sound edgey. I like to know my subject inside out and it always helps when you have a personal interest in it. From then on I just treat whatever group I am in front of as if they were my friends and I was chatting to them about whatever the subject matter is.
I bet you are the type that will be already looking forward to the next event and will be an absolute natural. I could tell from the videos that you posted before that you are confident and natural in your manner and that puts people at ease. I cant wait to hear how you progress with this, its all very exciting

Funny how life is. I've been Wishing (literally) for me to be able to have a FULL TIME PRACTICE for hypnotherapy, and NOW the opportunity is here!
.................................I got fired from my job today..............................
..They said they found a program to do 1/2 of my job and that they are going to offset the other side of the work, to the other worker that is their relative because it's cheaper. It's a financial situation they said. They gave me my check and said they paid me until Friday and I don't have to come back.
...I did cry momentarily after I left. Out of FEAR of course. I now see that GOD is aligning me to SERVE and help others FULL TIME!! I am appying for unemployment, yet of course I will still be negative on my bills by at least $700 a month. It's time to HUSSSSSTLE. No other. Next month would have been 3 years working there. Annoying, though I have been unsettled there for quite some time now. Yet, REFRESHING! I feel FREE! My stepdad alwayyyys has wise words for me and they worked!
I know I will be fine. It's just new and interesting to say the least, and of course a bit scarry. But there is a PLAN here~ !! Now I can really market myself to GROUPS!! God help me and SHINE through me NOW please as you have been!!!!!! It's just me and you now, God. All I have is Faith.

Thats not a good situation but hustle is what you will have to do until you are earning enough to pay all your bills. Some of the hardest times in our lives are the ones that teach us the best lessons and skills.
You will be fine and this will make you realize things about yourself that you probably already know deep down inside but need to be reminded of.
This is temporary, this will change.

So typical of you to see the good side of a bad situation.
You will succeed at whatever you do as you have such a positive attitude. This will probably give you the push that you need and the self hypnosis class that you did this week came at just the right time to give you confidence in your abilities.
Good luck even though you don't need it as you will make your own luck
