I'm doing great these days, but still, I get pretty bummed out when I listen to the news. I generally try to avoid it but my husband watches NPR and I sometimes get drawn in, and before I know it I'm feeling pretty down. Then suddenly everything annoys me and I start worrying about the future of my business. Because I know that thoughts are powerfully creative, unless I want reality to start matching my fears, it's time to raise my vibration.
Not only that, being stressed out will not make me more attractive to my perfect customers, right? I'm sure you can relate to what I'm talking about here. So what can we do to raise our vibration? Here are some simple tips I like to use to help me feel more like myself.
1) Get Into Action: if you're feeling worried about the future, one way to get you thinking along a more positive bent is to do some authentic marketing from the heart, write a blog entry, or plan a new class. Forwarding your purpose and your work feels good and it's practical. Additionally, the result (ie attracting perfect customers) is also a vibration raiser.
2) Just Relax: If you're feeling stressed and burned out, getting into action might not be what you need right now. In this case I suggest some radical self care. When was the last time you took yourself to an uplifting movie or took a nap in the middle of the day? How about a bubble bath with some hydrating oils and aromatherapy, or maybe a massage? Focusing on making yourself feel great will raise your vibration, and when it's time to return to work, you will be refreshed and ready.
3) Get Some Help: If you're feeling overwhelmed then it's probably time to get some help. Today I finally asked my husband to help me get my car smogged and registered and now that's one less thing I have to worry about. I also have someone coming over to help me clean and organize my house and office, someone to help me with my books, and someone to help me create new products for my business. The Lone Ranger days are over for me. It's a great feeling to get help and get relief!
4) Jump-Start Those Endorphins: Excercise is not only good for your health, it stimulates those good-feeling hormones to go rushing through your body. I love to take my rainforest herbs and hit the treadmill while listening to my favorite music. Or when the weather is good, a brisk walk outside can be exhilarating.
Give these a try and then notice how your circumstances start to shift as your vibration rises. I'd love to hear about the results you get when you raise your vibration.

How to Relax and Attract Perfect Customers
Have you ever stopped to notice that being stressed and uptight is not a great way to attract perfect customers? I know it can be hard sometimes when you're wondering where the next customer is going to come from and you're looking at your bills that keep mounting. Believe me, I can relate.
But I have learned that worry ~ even one minute of worry ~ is completely 100% counter-productive to the results I want. Even if I forget for a second that my thoughts are creating my reality, and I take a long logical look at how I come off to others when I’m anxious, really it’s not an attractive picture. It’s clear to me that my perfect customers will not recognize me at all when I am not being my true, authentic self. And doesn’t that make sense?
Now coming back to the fact that our thoughts do create our reality, can you see how worry is working against your dreams coming true? In fact, worry is a negative future projection. In the book “The Law of Attraction,” Abraham-Hicks points out that even 17 seconds of continuous intention around a desire will start that desire coming to you. Unfortunately, focusing on a possible negative outcome, especially when coupled with strong emotion, is a powerfully creative act, though we may not like the outcome!
When I first read “The Law of Attraction,” I stopped to remember the last time I had spent a solid 17 seconds focusing on my positive intent without considering the opposite or my ‘shadow of a doubt.’ It was challenging to remember a time outside of a self-help workshop where I had stayed completely positive for that long. That was an eye opener! Now with my penchant toward negative thinking revealed, I am empowered to try something new, a worry-free approach to marketing.
learned that staying true to my purpose and focused on the positive aspects is vital to the Attraction Marketing process. Toward that end, I’d like to share some tips I’ve learned to RELAX, kick back and attract my perfect customers.
TIP 1: Be Kind to Yourself ~ spend 15 minutes doing something you love. Sometimes a whole day can fly past without me stopping to smell the daisies. Now I make sure to go out to my garden at least 15 minutes a day to be with my beautiful plants. What is your favorite thing to do? Stop what you’re doing now and go do that for 15 minutes. Notice how attractive you feel when you do what you love.
TIP 2: Make your Strategic Attraction PlanTM: One way to focus on what we like and want to attract is by creating our Strategic Attraction Plan TM (SAP) This simple 4 part plan helps us determine what is most perfect for us in our business and our life. Visit http://www.graphicgirlz.com/sap.html for a free 1 hour recorded lesson on creating your SAP.
TIP 3: Take Attractive Actions: It is always wise to take a proactive approach when marketing. The key is to make the act of marketing fun and expressive for you. Consider what you love to do and then look for ways to combine that with a creative marketing act. Maybe you love to do yoga… so grab your mat and your biz card, post card or flier and find places to post your ad on your way to yoga class. Or perhaps you like to party, so plan a party where you and everyone gets to show off their products and services. Or if you like to write, write an article or blog entry and send it off to your list. Obviously that’s one of my favorite fun marketing actions~!
TIP 4: Get Some Help: Sometimes you just need help getting your marketing engines running. You may need a new image, or a website update, or you may want to learn how to get to page one of google. I have a variety of offerings at different price points that may be a perfect option for you to start stressing less and attracting more of your perfect customers today.

Attracting Perfect Customers with the Strategic Attraction Plan TM
Simple Plan is Proven to Make Marketing Magnets
As seen in the book "Attracting Perfect Customers" by Stacey Hall and Jan Brogniez
The Strategic Attraction PlanTM (SAP) is a simple 4-part process that empowers you to attract perfect customers and relationships. Using the SAP we can literally put our order out to the universe for whatever we desire to attract, and thus become a magical magnet for the life of our dreams. I use the SAP to guide entrepreneurs in creating a Magical Marketing Plan that reflects their true passions, Branding from the Heart that expresses their mission in a way that promotes everything they're up to, and Wildly Attractive Websites that spread the word to the world and inspire their perfect customers to take desired actions.
Step one for all of these is to create your Strategic Attraction Plan TM (SAP). Below I outline the SAP with some of my own variations gleaned from my own work with clients and some simple instructions on how to use it.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Take a blank piece of paper 8.5" x 11" and fold in half. Now you have a 4-sided piece of paper. Below are the questions to put on each side. (You can also do this in a journal, on a computer file, or on a napkin!)
I am focusing here on attracting perfect customers, but you can attract any relationship you desire using this plan. Just insert the relationship you are attracting (business partners, vendors, employees, life partner, family member, etc) where I have "customers." You can even use this to attract new qualities from people who are already in your life, including yourself!
SIDE 1: WHO AM I ATTRACTING? What are the qualities, characteristics and attributes of my perfect customers?
SIDE 2: WHO AM I? What makes me and my perfect customers tick?
SIDE 3: WHAT DO I DESIRE? What do I want my perfect customers to expect of me?
SIDE 4: WHO AM I BEING? What am I improving to become more attractive to my perfect customers?
NOW start filling in your answers under each question. Think about what you want and use positive language. (ie instead of "my perfect customer doesn't blame me when things don't go right" say "my perfect customer takes responsibility for their own experience of life")
Side 1: is a long laundry-type list. Everything you can think of that you like in people you work with/for goes there. This is meant to help you begin aligning with the kind of people you want in your business and your life. Consider their personality traits, what they say, the kinds of resources they have to give to you, how they find you, how often they refer you... whatever you can think of to describe your perfect customers goes here. This will help you to focus on what kinds of customers you want and thus start attracting them.
Side 2: is a short statement of what your true inner calling is, your soul's desire, your main life passion. This is what keeps you buring the midnight oil, it's what inspires you to get out of bed in the morning. The words you use to describe your passion are great words to use in your marketing because your perfect customers are inspired by the same things you are.
Side 3: is all about what YOU want ~ what you want to offer and what you want in your life. You want your perfect customers to expect these things of you - essentially you want them to expect what YOU want. These are the services, ways of being, types of products you are offering. This is also a list of the goals and aspirations you have in your life, and a statement of your boundaries. Ultimately the question here is what do you really desire in life, what do you love to do and want people to pay you for. What do you dream of doing? Your Magical Marketing Plan will be an enjoyable part of your life when you integrate it into what you love to do.
Side 4: is all about allowing what you are attracting to come to you. What you desire will come to you when you are aligned with your source, your purpose, your calling. We are creating our lives through our intensions and our willingness to become our desire. Since you have a list of your desires on side 3, take the ones that aren't fully realized 100% yet and put these on Side 4. Everything on Side 4 will appear first on Side 3. Then look at these items and ask yourself, "Who would I have to be to attract this?"
I often find that when I am being true to myself and joyful in my authenticity, all manner of things that I have asked for come to me.
I hope you find the Strategic Attraction Plan TM helpful. You can learn more about this methodoloy and my services at the Graphic Girlz Website.
