Dial A Guru Is Here For You!

By Holly Hutcheson

           Awaken Your True Potential is your one stop shop for overall self-help. However, this book is not simply a “suck it up and move on” book. Instead, this book actually helps you learn key targets of negativity in your life, along with how to incorporate positivity into your life, and how to apply it to your personal problems. Each chapter is written by not only an experienced author, but an experienced life coach who has gone through their own personal obstacles, and used these examples to get themselves out of the rut! Each chapter goes deep into detail of a struggle each and every one of us experience at one time throughout our working and personal lives. Whether you need help getting out of that dead end job you simply can’t get yourself to get out of bed to go to anymore, or whether it’s your own negative thoughts in your head keeping you from taking that leap into happiness, this book is the ultimate self-help guide and workbook!

The first chapter in “Awaken Your True Potential” in the Dial a Guru Series by PenCraft Books, is the “Realizing Your Dream Work Project” by Eva Tornallyay.  This chapter alone talks about “the burn-out” effect in your career choice, and teaches you how to recognize when you are experiencing it. When you have slowly lost interest in the job you once enjoyed, or simply have lost the ambition and fire you had before, you are slowly burning out! Luckily, this chapter also introduces the idea of your dream job and how yes, you can achieve it! When we are kids we all believe we can do whatever job we set our mind too. At what age do those hopes and dreams begin to die? Let this chapter reignite that fire in your belly and lead you to your career dream project!

“Eva considered all the various paths that she could take from there, knowing only one thing; that whatever she ended up doing, she would set her own schedule. That she would move to the place of her dreams.”

The Second chapter, “Getting Out of Your Own Way: Transforming Limiting Beliefs and Self‐Sabotage” is written by Wendy Fry. By the time you’ve read these chapters, you’ll understand exactly how our limiting beliefs result in self-sabotaging behaviors.  If you do not believe in yourself to accomplish something, you simply will not accomplish it! Do not allow your own negative thoughts to sabotage what you are truly capable of! More importantly, you’ll know what to do differently to ensure your future success.  Whether your next goal is personal or business, the sixteen proven techniques and exercises Wendy provides in this chapter will help you achieve your goals easier, faster and more successfully than ever before.  Wendy also goes in to ask questions like,

“I  wonder  how  often  you  are  present  ‘in  the  moment’  enjoying  where you are right now, rather than brooding about the past, or  worrying about the future?” and “How frequently do you talk yourself out of doing something, or listen to other people’s opinions which  stop you achieving?”

This is also where she introduces the idea of The Spotlight Process, which is designed to help you identify where you spend the majority of your thinking time. It will also help you assess which thoughts are out of balance and how to change them.  Using the TSP, you uncover the stories in your mind which may be limiting you. 

“Breaking Lifestyle Habits with Purpose” by Bettina Pickering is the next chapter that introduces the idea that,

“Habits are sequences of thoughts, emotions, and actions we have created over time by doing them repeatedly until they become unconscious, automatic behaviours. We create habits for a purpose or with an intention, we want to get something positive out of the habit at the other end.Generally, it is some kind of a reward that makes us feel good or we believe it does. Because we created our habits in the first place, we have the power and the resources to change them”

This chapter helps you to discover what’s truly important to you: your values & your passion.  It talks about life planning and goal setting – and introduces the smart system (specific, measured, action-orientated, realistic, and timed GOALS) In order to accomplish things in your life, Bettina walks you through the course of getting in touch with what you truly wish to accomplish, and setting goals to get there. She also introduces the 4 secrets of success in goal setting.

Now, this is where Ruby Mcquire with “Be Brave – Be Authentic – Be Fabulous!” helps you to get in touch with your true self. Though out our lives we are continuously influenced by the ones around us. In this chapter, she helps us to establish our values, who we are, and what our purpose is. She also introduces the idea of practicing self-care through establishing boundaries and learning to say ‘no’ when we want to. Setting aside times each and every single day to look after you – YOU MATTER!  

Next is chapter 5, “Gaming Strategies for Personal and Professional Success” by An Coppens. She talks about how to increase personal productivity and business growth using gaming “cheats” and hacks analogies. Hacks are basically short cuts. Essentially, hacks ensure you achieve whatever you want to achieve in life and business, but faster. When she refers to hacks, she means finding positive shortcuts that produce even greater productivity and success fast, rather than the negative actions of someone hacking into a system for information.  She uses the example, “in a business stand point for example, engage your customers or your readers through social media posts.”

In Chapter 6, “Our Seven‐Year‐Cycle of Transformation” ildikó Miklós talks about,             “If you were to watch a film of your own life, which part would be the most exciting? Which part would you live again and which are those that you hope never to repeat? How easily can you recall particular milestones, or recognize the markers that brought significant changes into your life?”

This chapter is an exercise work book that helps you outline the important milestones of your life and ultimately measure the growth you have experienced as a person and the transitions you have endured. It focuses on where you have experienced growth in different fields such as health status, financials, spiritual development and more.

In Chapter 7, learn the “7 Keys to Mindfulness Meditation: A guide to the mindful art of living”, written by Elaine Rudnicki. She talks about how mediation is proven to improve self‐confidence, focus and emotional stability, improve all of your cognitive functions such as your concentration, memory, and resilience to stress ‐ all the while boosting your immune function. People who meditate report that the experience of meditation gives them access to a fundamental level of unity and wholeness in their awareness. This gives them a deep feeling of peace, connectedness and relief from stress. The objective in these chapters is to offer you the fundamentals of meditation so you may quickly and easily begin to practice and benefit from it. It takes you through steps of how meditation works, how to incorporate it into your daily life, and to understand it and use it properly.

Finally, the book introduces “Eight Winning Ways to Empower Yourself” by Mala Shah. This chapter focuses on creating positive beliefs and core values. It also talks about how to change your limiting beliefs to empowering beliefs. We learn to re‐program our self‐talk and change the negative statements. This Work book helps you discover your true beliefs and walks you through retraining your thoughts and beliefs from negative statements to empowering thoughts.

As you can see, this is the ultimate self-help book. Taking you through 8 different, yet very important parts of ourselves. Which in the end teaches you how to believe in yourself, and allows you to reduce limitations in your life. It teaches you to respect yourself and put yourself first, allowing you to become the true form of yourself and ultimately achieve overall happiness. Break bad habits that result in limitations in your life, both business and personal.
