What happens in Vegas...

...gets reported on a lot of blogs! In town for the Newspaper Association of America marketing conference. Well, actually, I'm not attending, because I'm no longer in the newspaper business. I just left my job as vice president of new initiatives for the Miami Herald to go back into business for myself. And yet I find myself here because my boyfriend is still in the newspaper business, so it was a great excuse to come and see all my friends.

Are you considering stepping off the treadmill? It's kinda scary and exciting all at the same time, isn't it? If you really have a dream, some of the steps to getting there are really big, aren't they? For some time I've felt like I've been in two different universes, one foot in each. Finally now I've got them both planted in one universe, a new universe, and it feels really good. It took me a couple of months to get here, and sometimes I feel the other universe tapping on my shoulder, whispering job offers in my ear, promising regular paychecks and health insurance.

But I believe that what I'm doing is the right thing, that what I believe I can create, I can. One of the techniques I'm fond of for stablizing belief is acting as if it's already so. Here's why: as Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of the Biology of Belief, told me in my recent interview with him, the subconscious mind is just a computer. It sees everything. It has perfect knowledge of all of the possibilities. The conscious mind applies filters to all of that information, and sometimes not to our benefit. The more we facilitate the subconscious mind's ability to compute by lining up our conscious mind with what we want, the easier it is for the subconscious mind to get it done.

Stay focused! Don't let anyone steal your belief in yourself!

If you're in transition, too, I'd love to hear about your adventures. Leave me a comment here, or drop me a note at kim@kimmarcille.com.
