I wish you all an infinitely abundant fun easy prosperous joyful ride in 2012! 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!

Let's make our wish list for Xmas, shall we? 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 heard this expression: "It takes two to Tango" ? 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? Unique Anick

How many pair of shoes do you have in your wardrobe? Are they all comfy? 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

Once upon a time I was dreaming of making large audience laughing, uplifting the energy and make a huge difference in people's life. I had experience that dream at the French Music and Dance Company FMDC at the Factory in Sydney. I enjoyed every minute of it!

Wow where does the time goes? 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!

We just celebrated the shortest day of the year in the South hemisphere on June 21 "the winter solstice". It is a time to hibernate and look within. I recently was reflecting on Trust as I translated a book for a colleague Vanessa Hall from Entente. The simple model she developed is based on our Needs, our Expectations and the Promises we make to ourselves and to others. I realised that I was playing a way too small and I am so ready for bigger games! I promised to myself that it is time to take a giant step out and allow myself to expand and shine! The universe is testing me.  I teach people to connect and feel the joy in all the fibres of their being therefore I need to walk my talk hey!  So I invite you this winter to relect on what you need, what you expect of yourself and do you keep your promises can you keep?

Yes it is raining heaps this April. April "fool" full of water. Rather than complaining we can focus on the "Joy" of staying cosy at home reading a good book the one taht has been sitting on the shelf for months, inviting friends you have not seen for weeks over for a dinner party, work on your personal or business projects which is my case I started to "cook" a book for you all! I got a recipe to increase the level of "Joy" that I would love to share with my followers! I am one of those people who had experienced a RICH life full of adventures, my latest as you know is that I went speaking on a cruise. I had the opportunity of meeting beautiful people from all over the world. I was amazed by the numbers of Filipinos and Indians working hard in the kitchen feeding us and cleaning our cabins. I was blown away by "where they choose to put their focus on all day long working 12-16h a day 7 days a week when their families are in their country and they send them all their salary, well they constantly SMILE and SING and do not complain. They are also so GRATEFUl, I gave a presentation to the crew on the ship and they were so thankful and appreciated the value of the information, energy, time and tools and techniques I was offering them. I felt really lucky to connect with these people and learnt so much from them! Practise with me check where your attention is NOW? Unique Anick
