From Coach Roz, CoachRozTX@aol.com:
I know I am evolving when....
I pay attention to my body's signals.
I ask myself, "Does this fit for me?"
I ask courteously and directly for what I want.
I listen to other people's perception and don't personalize it.
I actively seek new ways of thinking.
I listen closely to learn about the other person.
I go with, and thereby honor, his unique process.
I create a hierarchy of importance ˜ sometimes me, sometimes you.
I believe there is a distinct difference between "selfishness" and "self-care."
I have outgrown selfishness. I am mature enough not to think I am the center of the universe.
I can ask for special consideration without thinking I'm superior to others.
I know I have the choice whether to let stressors create self-stress.
Sometimes I love working toward a particular outcome.
Other times I love just grooving on the process.
I appreciate every single day.
I connect with people in an I-Thou way. I LOVE that!
I can please you without becoming a Pleaser, and I enjoy that.
I come from "We're Both Great" instead of "I'm evolved, you aren't."
I believe we are all exactly where we're supposed to be at the moment.
I never blame myself for the past. That is a waste of spirit.
I take responsibility for my own happiness.
I am a Work in Progress. Usually I'm the author, sometimes the reader.
I like over-delivering. It surprises others and delights me.
I know the difference between my figure and my body.
I am, unequivocally, my own best friend and always will be.
I love the process of writing, even if the outcome isn't enthralling.
I connect with others easily.
I take myself out frequently ˜ movies, trips, jaunts.
What fit yesterday may not fit today and may fit again tomorrow, and that's cool.
I no longer think I'm supposed to have all the answers.
I no longer think I'm required to have ANY of the answers.
Anyway, I like questions even more than I do answers.
I can't fix anybody, and I no longer try (except when I forget and do try).
If you're thirstier than I am, I'll happily let you drink first.
I respect common courtesy and respect. I give it and expect it back.
I clean up my own messes, if they get cleaned up at all. At least I don't expect anyone else to clean them up for me.
I love my home and office environment, and it shows ˜ art, color, eccentricity.
I enjoy hammock mode as much, or more, than Getting Things Accomplished.
I believe Winnie the Pooh was a Zen master.
I have compassion for Rabbit and Eeyore too, and for the Rabbit and Eeyore parts of myself and others.
I touch others daily in a way that affirms them. It's a way of affirming myself too, and that's OK.
I indulge myself sensually. I delight in all my senses.
I enjoy my dreams, especially the ones through which I enlighten myself.
I see money as a symbol for energy and a way to get things I want and enjoy, not as a way to keep score. I am successful no matter how much money I have.
I am aware every single day how happy my life is, and I delight in it.
I appreciate the fact that I recreate myself daily. I bear little resemblance to the person I was 30 years ago. Every change has been for the better.
I cherish personal integrity and keep a high standard of it for myself.
I always tell the truth except when I am purposefully manipulating, and I do that without demeaning the other person or feeling cynical.
I am mindful of not liking condescension, and guard against it in myself.
I guard myself lovingly from anyone who thinks there is only one truth, or one true path to heaven.
I keep a semi-open mind, but I revere and trust my critical faculties.
I have a terrific built-in bullshit detector.
I am married to a deliciously life-loving man.
I laugh a lot. I laugh a WHOLE lot.
I almost always get what I want, and I don't exploit others to do it.
I trust my gut. It's usually right. Occasionally it's spectacularly wrong, but I trust it anyway! Go figure.
I adore the English language. I enjoy being articulate. I try to stamp out jargon.
Sometimes my writing helps people change their lives. I enjoy that hugely.
Carl Whitaker told me that I have a very large personhood. I cherish that above all the tributes I've ever received.
I am kind to myself. I can therefore be kind to others.
I gladly pick up the check with friends at lunch.
Other times, I gladly let them treat me. Either way, we don't keep score.
When I am praised or appreciated, I simply say "Thank you" without digging my toe in the carpet.
I listen to what I say to clients, and realize I'm really saying it to myself.
I am sometimes a conduit for wisdom that seems to come from beyond me.
I attract fascinating, inquiring, questing friends, clients, and mentor coaches.
I think of many of my counseling clients as friends, without worrying what my licensing board would think. Obviously, it's not an issue with coaching. Good!
I share from my own life, freely but strategically.
I am usually fearless. Even when I'm scared, I go ahead and do it if it's not actually dangerous. That's courage ˜ fearlessness is not.
I enjoy watching strangers interact, and do so with fondness for human beings.
I hug people who are available for and want hugs.
I no longer hug people just to satisfy my own impulse.
I know the difference between reacting and responding. I usually respond. Sometimes I react, then learn from it.
I am always either in bliss or learning. (I stole that from somebody, and would happily give attribution if I knew its source.)
I am willing to risk looking foolish. However, I seldom believe I do. This is called selective perception, and it stands me in good stead.
I keep my checkbook the old-fashioned way, hands-on, because I like to. I use technology but don't worship it.
I frequently choose to simplify my life, and enjoy the outcome
Sometimes I choose to complicate my life by doing too many things at once. When it stops being fun and challenging, I go back to simplifying.
Whatever happens, I know there is always another way of looking at it.
I never let others own me. Mentor me, yes. Own me, no.
I deeply appreciate all my relationships but don't define myself through them.
I have adopted the cautious child within me. I take wonderful care of her.
Emerging from general anesthetic, I said, "I am not a number on a blackboard. I am a human being. Somebody touch me." I didn't even know it was my own voice. I am proud of such self-regard from my literal unconscious.
Although I have 30-something children, I choose to think of myself as being in middle age. Well, OK, profound middle age.
Age is just a number. Attitude is how old you are. This is unequivocally the best time of my life.
Come to think of it, any time is the best time of my life, now that I've got sure and certain custody of myself. (next book title?)
Sometimes I enjoy synergy, and other times I create alone. I see them as being equally evolved, just different.
I dislike and avoid all forms of dogma. I like that in myself.
Today a friend said to me, "I enjoy just watching your life. I'm so glad you are in mine." I dined on that all day!
Fine, brave, beautiful people seek my help. I am amazed and grateful, and enjoy them hugely.
I have combined acting/speaking/writing/counseling/understanding into a llife work that fits me exactly. Everything I have ever done, or been, is useful.
I leave reminders for myself on my voicemail that begin, "Hi, babe!" and end with an affectionate "'Bye, Me." This is completely spontaneous and heartfelt.
I am hitting on all my cylinders ˜ mentally, creatively, professionally, personally, spiritually. I still need periodic tune-ups and upgrades, and that's OK.
My great joy is to turn people on to their own creative and resourceful selves.
I attract like-minded friends. Maybe there is a pheromone for creative unconventionality.
I can don conventionality when it suits my purpose.
However, I usually avoid circumstances that require it.
Tonight I got home late, found this note: "I love you light-years. Hugely!" You don't attract and maintain that kind of relationship for8 years without evolving daily, both of you. And having such fun in the process!
I have written two good books. A third one is gestating. I haven't had an ultrasound yet, but I can feel it quickening. Maybe it's twins!
I have the expertise, certified sex therapist credentials, and chutzpah to start a SEXCOACH website, offering education, permission, and lightheartedness about one of mankind's most profound interests and necessities. Good for me!

From Corrie Gillispie, CorrieWG@aol.com

Language -
I am continually developing and learning new language to keep path with my growth.
The community I attract reflects a continuous upgrading of language.
I do not have to use jargon or wordy expressions to make a monumental point.
My language becomes light and graceful - yet defined by crystal clarity.
I have graduated from "inner dialogue01" and now have the rest of my life to expand my understanding of this powerful, once foreign, language of the inner voice.

Flexibility -
Stiffness, rigidity and predictability have no space in my life.
The flexibility I experience in my life gently touches others and softens them to their own flexibility.

Priorities -
I have stopped setting priorities, trusting that what I choose to focus on at any moment is what is important.

Reactions -
My first reaction to a situation is that I am reacting.
I make a shift from asking "hard questions" of myself to being in the moment and embracing the unknown.
I move out of trying to determine the correct strategy for a given situation to simply being in it - aware of the texture, the shadowed areas and those in the light - knowing the right response will be apparent.
I accept and embrace all range of emotions knowing that with each true feeling is an opportunity to grow.
I can be angry, hurt or sad and still come from a place of love.

Flow -
My ability to flow with life allows those around me to be as they are 0- what a gift!

Communication -
I am00% truthful - being short on the truth simply does not fit anymore.
Each day is sprinkled with new textures and new discoveries - the shift is that I am aware of and excited by all of the surprises.

Attitude -
Thinking "outside the box" becomes my norm rather than the "big stretch".
Humor and lightness are ever present in my life.
I have stopped "striving for" and in contrast I allow each moment to unfold.
Rather than searching for the FLOODLIGHT to shine on my path in life, I am comfortable in the knowledge that each small step of my path will be illuminated before me.
Uncertainty, the unknown, is illuminated as the path to limitless possibilities.
The unknown has become one of the most compelling doorways rather than the most threatening.
Fear is a signal that I am about to do good work - so it becomes a draw forward rather than a pull back.

Self Care -
By taking care of myself, in all ways, I know that all else is as it should be in my life.
I trust my body's response first, my intellect second.
I develop a rapid response to life's changes, with a playful attitude.
I intentionally seek out ways to step outside my comfort zone rather than seeking that safe and familiar place in the zone.
I develop a whole new set of facial muscles which now support a continuous smile.
I develop an emotional, spiritual and physical fitness level that allows me to playfully dance with, and at times wrestle with, life - without being out of breathe.

Paradigm -
My process of personal growth shifts from a linear "pursuit" to a multidimensional game with ever changing rules ... and its fun!
There is a shift from staying in the safe place, in the known, to dancing on the edge of my comfort zone while continually expanding and redefining just what "comfort zone" means.
The pendulum stops swinging back and forth between past and future and settles on this place - the here and now.
The realization that we are in ownership of our lives moves from "burden" to "valuable opportunity for growth" to "treasured gift"
As my view on life may shift from black and white to color during the personal foundation process, while evolving ever faster my view shifts from richness of color to radiance.
Shifting from a hunger of knowledge to an openness to learning.
Shifting from a place of enforcing boundaries and controlling ones environment to "exposing oneself to the elements" ( giving up the control and feeling the hot and cold, hard and soft, etc. - the exposure to the elements and ones ability to adapt can lead to very fast growth)

Motivation -
The source of motivation shifts from external - people, projects, goals ... to the inner voice asking, "Am I centered?"

Success -
Success is defined as truly learning something of value in any given situation.
Success can be defined as "true soulful happiness"

Connectedness -
The depth of my connectedness is ultimately the result of my level of detachment

Relationships -
I honor all relationships enough to step over nothing.
My process of growth/evolution profoundly affects others and helps them to evolve faster.
I attract people into my life who not only reflect my growth process but who serve as catalysts for my evolution.
I am open to the realization that some of my greatest lessons come from people who may seem very far from an evolutionary path.

Sensitivity -
I have enhanced my sensitivity to all things in my life without feeling raw and exposed.

Integration -
I shift from viewing my life as individual threads of fabric to seeing my life's tapestry, glimmering with different colors and textures
I experience much faster growth on all fronts without feeling overwhelm.

Foundation -
A sign of my evolutionary process is my willingness to go back to foundational work whenever needed.
A sign of my evolutionary process is never being surprised by the need to revisit and redefine my personal foundation, knowing it is a fluid and ever expanding place.

From Brad Glass, bglass@nortelnetworks.com

1 - I find myself having an upgraded level of conversation - everywhere I go.
2 - I've released myself from the "judgment" component of conversations - leaving me with more energy.
3 - I handle things "in the moment" and as they come up, keeping them from "hanging around on the list."
