We have too much excitement to include in "personal updates" this week, so we're creating something special you'll see next Tuesday! We've clocked up some hours in the air, (and on the road) met some inspiring people and learnt some amazing things. We also had a ball on the phone last week with David Hall (the Clean Plumber) and the members and friends who called in, so there are more exciting events to plan.
If you're in Dubbo on Monday night (15 December) please join the party! Our Create the Life Club and Coaching Celebration Parties have 
always been fun and really inspiring, and this time we thought we'd make it really easy for families to enjoy together - so we'll be in the beautiful Victoria Park, south of the Aquatic Centre, near the play equipment, from 6pm. Bring friends, clients and/or colleagues - people you want inspired and encouraged! Speeches will be few (and fun), food and drink will be plentiful... and wonderful connections will be made. This is the Christmas Celebration you don't want to miss! (Please let us know numbers, so we can make sure we cater well) :-)
"How can I participate in the Christmas Celebrations from afar?"
1. You are welcome to send us a list of things you’re proud of this year, so we can add it to our group achievements collage – in photo’s or words, and...
2. You can get your name in the draw for the gift vouchers over and over, by referring others to the Club. We will enter your name in the draw everytime someone you’ve referred joins Create the Life Club with the $1 test-drive.
We appreciate your referrals and really want to make it easy for you, so please let us know if you would like any support with this. When we all work together, we all win together! Help your friends win in life, by connecting them to a community of inspiration, encouragement and support to create the life they really want to be living!
Another 2 boxes of Create the Life Journals arrived this morning, which is just as well, as the first batch went in pre-orders! It’s now available to purchase direct from Create the Life Club, or in store at The Book Connection or Stephen’s Patisserie in Macquarie Street, Dubbo, or Rouge Beauty in West Dubbo. At only $18 and an inspiration to all who’ve read it so far – it’s a perfect Christmas gift for people who want to get more out of life.

Since we're getting SO close to Christmas, our next newsletter which is due out a few days before the Big Day, will be sent next week instead. We are looking forward to sharing some highlights of the year, and supporting you to see what you have achieved this year too... it might be more than you realise!
Our success tip this week comes from an amazing coach and mentor that Kerrie spent time with while in Sydney last week, so read on and be inspired.
Cheering you on,
Today's success tip comes from Josephine Thomson.
After beating the odds and surviving cancer, Josephine has gone on to become an award winning coach, receiving the Results Coach of the Year award for three consecutive years and in 2005, she was a state finalist in the Telstra Business Woman of the Year.
What specific things can people do to improve their attitude and outlook on a daily basis?
Forgive yourself and others - life is too short to hold on to regrets, grudges, miscommunications or disappointments. Free yourself by letting go of any negative energy you may be holding on to. One way to do this is to write down anything you're ready to let go of on a piece of paper, ceremoniously tear it into small pieces and throw it away as you forgive.
Practise gratitude and appreciation - understand that whatever you focus on grows. When you focus on everything in your life worthy of being grateful for, including the wonderful people you appreciate, the universe will hand you more to feel grateful about.
Live each day as though it were your last - if today was your last day on Earth, what people would you surround yourself with? What would you say to the people you care about? What personal gifts would you offer to humanity? Live each day as if it was your last, and you will be living in a state of light, love and unconditional contribution.
Meditate/pray - these kinds of activities open a direct link between yourself and the spiritual realm. Meditation and prayer can bring you peace, clarity, joy and connection. It can bring you closer to your creator and can assist in experiencing a perfectly balanced state between your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual self.
Suspend judgement - we judge other people in order to feel less guilty about our own misgivings. Judging is dense, dark and heavy, and we should instead strive for acceptance.
View every experience as a gift - look back over your life and you will realise that even the worst experiences have taught you some invaluable lessons, thus continuing your growth and development as a person. When you experience every situation - bad, good, ugly - as a gift, life will be more inspirational.
Stay consciously aware of all of your thoughts and feelings - this is important if you wish to avoid falling into the persuasive negative behaviours of complaining and feeling like a victim. To stay out of these patterns, check in with yourself, your present thoughts and feelings, several times a day.
Treat your physical body as your temple - your body is the only vehicle you have to ride through life in - look after it! Eat healthily, exercise, and rest! When you look after your body you will increase your energy, vitality, joy and freedom.
View the world through the eyes of a child - children are totally enthralled by the process of observing and experiencing the wonder and beauty in every single thing, colour, texture and person they meet. They can't get enough! Look at every tree, sunset, cloud and human as a child would and you'll be in a constant state of wonder, joy, surprise, acceptance and enlightenment.
Give love - love is the highest vibration. Allow yourself to receive love unconditionally and give love from your heart unconditionally to others as well as yourself!
This website contains even more great tips from Josephine Thomson.
