I went away in nature with some friends, fire at night, camping, festival, dancing, meaningful conversations, yummy food, connecting with the simple things in life that we tend to forget. I drove up with a new friend and his daughter. I felt the 10h drive very challenging. I was dealing with an Energy Vampire rather than an Energy Giver. I felt that every move I made were criticised, judged, comdamned. For a moment I felt like a victim in my own car, I could not believe I unconsciouly created a "pity party" as a holiday... I thought I offered my care, time, energy, kindness, left a day later to accommodate this man and as a "thank you" I was receiving his negative combative attitude, it was driving me insane. I knew this situation was happening for a reason, I had to grow and take responsibility for my choice on how to respond to this difficult person in pain. It was also the perfect opportunity to express how I felt and what I would prefer to experience. I was not to keen on driving back home with him in my space. I put on my "courage jacket" on and express that to him. I asked him that if he had the intention of coming with an attitude of respect, joy, care, positive and appreciation for an easy pleasant drive home, I was happy to take him, else I was not prepare to fight and spend my energy argumenting... and offered him other option to get home.
I believe there is a gift in any situation in life and it was a really good pratice to speak up and ask for what I need and what I prefer and also to set my clear boundaries.
I also became so clear that by taking our responsibility on how we respond to life rather than react, we really empower ourselves and run the show of our own life, stiring the weel, driving our car, our life.
During my holiday, I babysitted another beautiful friend's daughter, a 3y adorable little girl. By being 100% present with her, I saw that every move I made, every word I said, she was modelling and copying me like a little monkey... Us leaders have to be so in the "here and now" as we highly influence one another with our words, actions and behabiours!
Lets take charge of our life now and be a "Responsibility Taker"now! Unique Anick

What other people think of us is not of our business simple as that! Stop comparing yourself right now! Whether people like you or not, approve of what you do or not, ignore them, ignore their comments, it is their own judgements, their own believes about themselves and it has NOTHING to do with you. There is only ONE you and only YOU know what is true, the truth, the key is within you. Let me share a story with you.
When I was 6y in grade one at primary school, one day I had to speak in front of 30 others children in my class with a little microphone and a recorder. I can't recall the topic, the only thing I can clearly remember is how TERRIFIED I was and how I just wanted to run away, hide in a cave, hibernate like a bear until spring comes back!... I was shaking, sweating and wearing a pink dress and white stocking! My turn arrived and I was so scared that I defecated in my white stocking. I was so ashamed, embarassed, traumatised that I ran away home to my nanny and couldn't not stop crying. My nanny put me in the bath and took good care of me. I said to her as I powerful declaration like I made a big decision then " I will never speak in front of a group ever again in my life." Guess what I do today with so much joy, heart and passion for a living I'm a speaker Yes it is possible to bigger brighter and empowered!

A story of self -love and of attracting Abundance in our live! Abundance is right in front of us when we allow it, when we get our own self out of the way, when we are open, when we trust & surrender.... I received a profound lesson at Bodhi Festival this weekend. I had a gut feeling I had to be there and decided to go a few days before. In the collective, fear was in the air... People would say "there won’t be anymore accommodation available in New Castle, etc." I landed my tent to a friend. I called a friend who lives there he had 15 people sleeping in his livingroom, another friend invited to stay 45 min away, 4 of girlfriends who had a room at the Quest hotel were happy to have me on the sofa bed  yet I felt one them was a little in the controlling ego resisting the flow... Anyhow got to the site and the first girlfriend I saw warmly invited me to stay with her in a beautiful appartment by the ocean, Wait MORE I followed my feet to a yoga dance contact workshop and got paired up with a beautiful man. He invited to stay in his big house. He prepared me amazing organic meals, he is trained as a mechanic and he offerred to service my car, he is also trained  as a massotherapist so he gave me a wonderful massage... I was blown away... What did you allow to come to you for Valentine? Unique Anick

I have started the year with ease and joy myself!  I left my story behind me on December 31st I burried it in a dry land 10h south of sydney, I feel so much lighter. I guess the most challenging thing is to decide what we want  in our lives? Just asking questions is not something we are conditionned with, we are rather programmed to swallow what is there in the menu right in front of us and because we want to belong, be loved and we are so scared of being judged and rejected therefore we do not dare to be authentic, ask and decide for ourselves !  My first experience of wanting to create a change in my life by asking myself "Am I enjoying still weeweing my bed at 7 years old every night?" The answer was NO the party is over I have enough of this time to grow up! I made a clear decision on the day of my 7th Birthday, I named clearly in front of my family my choice of not doing that ever again, guess what, I never did... We are that powerful!

In 2012, what new opportunities would you like to pursue? What exciting changes are you ready to make? Who will help make the journey fun and inspiring? What one, helpful habit are you willing to develop to support your efforts? These are empowering questions that will activate JOY in your life! Let me know how you go? I am here to serve you!

The holiday season is the perfect time to reflect on what has been enjoyable and perhaps more challenging for us in the last 12 months... Take time to activate your JOY by spending quality time with your love ones! Take care of your body by enjoying and appreciating what you are eating and by drinking consciously. Take care of your mind by resting and giving yourself a break by being kind to you stopping the not enough inner dialogue. Take time to be grateful for all that you have in your life... I do not have a family here in Australia and sometimes I feel like having a "Pity Party" with myself... yet I have the choice to activate my JOY and look at the good I do in the world and what I can offer to the people who are need like homeless and lonely people... I can choose to create a "Positive Party" and invite some friends at home since I do have a home! I can share with you that I enjoyed presenting on my cruise to New Zealand. I loved uplifting the TEDx women group in sydney, I enjoyed being the MC for 800 people at the sensational show Paris by Night. I enjoyed seeing my clients improving the quality of their lives and feeling more JOY, connecting to what they really want! Enjoy this Christmas gift! All I want for Christmas is you... is for us to be joyful!

Have you noticed that we have a tendency to blame the oustide world for our problems and challenges? Well I know we do not always enjoy to hear this, but hey we are the creator of our lives, we are the dancer of our dance! If you are not enjoying your dancing partner or your next dancing step hurt your feet, or you found yourself not following the rhythm, well it might be time to learn a new type of dance or even opening yourself to a new dancing style! If you do enjoy and love the dance you are dancing these days, you feel moved and you follow the beat, you feel light and have fun moving your boogie (bum) fabulous keep dancing that dance!  If you feel stuck and too sweaty not in the flow, it is time for a change and for you to look at what works for you and what does not!  It was my birthday this month and every year I use this time to do a check-in "weather report" wheather I am having a gracious sensual tango or a chachacha well organised or a free form dance where I let loose and wild!... All of these dances are indeed enjoyable for me at the right time and in the right place with the right dancing partner, yet sometimes I have to learn new steps and pay attention to who I am dancing with... for me it was clearly to become aware of my relationships with friends and colleagues and who do I invite in my "life dance"? Also what type of dance I engage in with different people? Keep an eye on your "life dance" and let me know what you discover?

Perhaps some are very elegant or sexy? Do you have plenty of walking shoes, running shoes or boots? Thongs for the beach? Colorful shoes, leather shoes, crappy shoes, old shoes you are so attached to that you can not get rid of them? Which pair is your favorite one? You know when you buy a new pair of shoes and you really like them, but after the first day wearing them, you can't walk anymore, you have blisters, swollen feet, you feel excruciating pain and you just want to through the new shoes in the bin! Well the same story happens when we are trying to be what we are not. Being somebody else, living someone else's dream, trying to please others and not really being YOU. I suggest that you first do a big clean up of your wardrobe by selecting the shoes that you really LOVE; you know the one that I am talking about; you feel so good in them, they are like slippers, they also look good, they are your unique favorite pair of shoes as if they were designed perfectly for the shape of your lovely feet! They are the perfect shoes for YOU and only for you. The metaphor works well for who you are as a person, the natural you... Not trying, not holding back, not contracting, (like japanese women who use to wear shoes that were too small for them to keep their feet small, it was small consider as sexy and beautiful, but how painful and not natural...) not pushing, but daring to shine and simply walk comfortably just the way you are! That is so attractive and so lacking in our world! Today practise being YOU! Unique Anick

August has been a month of looking within, coaching one-on-one and creating projects for me. Let me share with you the treasure I got from hibernating. Have you heard of something called "intuition"? Some of you might call it "Gut feelings". I baptised mine and I call it my "Inner GPS". It always gives me the next right action step and the right direction! When I do not pay attention I get on a detour, a bumpy road and I have to switch on my "Inner GPS" again, listen and get back on track! Something rather complicated to describe yet it is a knowing deep inside that only yourself can recognise and can trust. It is not palpable... To help us recognise it get it trust it and act on it I want to offer you a simple yet powerful process that is very useful to get in touch with your intuition. Just sit comfortably in a quiet space and relaxe. Take a long deep breath in and let go... Close your eyes well after reading this blog hey!! Lets begin. "If you where to give it a color what color would that be? If you where to give it a shape, what shape or form would that be? If you were to give it a sound what would you hear? If you were to feel it in your body, would it be warm or cold or would you feel like butterflies in your tummy? Where in your body would you feel it? Now you might be a visual person or you are more auditory or else kinesthesic, it is very helpful to know what speaks to you and how! Remember Name it Claim it ! I would love to hear from you and know how you go with this process? Enjoy!

Do you sometimes say YES but deep inside, you really want to say NO? Do you sometimes do tasks you dont feel like doing at all but to be accommodating to others you do them rather than not? Do you know that every time you are not true to yourself you are disempowering yourself? It is not a win-win to say white lies, down the track you will feel frustrated and powerless. Practice this month to disappoint somebody but put your People Pleaser on strike! Practice also to say genuine YES and mean it it will put a huge smile on your face, you will feel energised and empowered! Good luck and have fun doing it! Unique Anick
