uROktv at The Whitehouse Sari Mustonen-Kirk interviews Eve Connelly Evolve Makeup Artist to Stars

uROking and Evolving

This week I was lucky enough to receive a personal invitation to the Whitehouse. Now before you go off on a tangent, this one is not in the USA! The Whitehouse I visited is headquarters to Evolve Makeup in Australia and I was asked to come along to ‘get evolved’ by none other than make-up artist to the stars, Evolve Founder Eve Connelly.

Every woman needs a spoil now and then and with my hectic schedule and two small children to nurture and nourish, I often miss out on doing those girly things that give just you a giggle and make you feel good about yourself. I’d been talking with Eve about doing the uROk 33 Day Challenge as a corporate assignment in the Evolve business and she immediately saw a chance to do something special for me as a personal thank you.

When I spoke with Eve Connelly both on and off camera, I discovered that she is highly motivated by the values of ‘Parenting’ and ‘Service’. Her son is her number one motivator and as she says in the interview “Why else would I be going it?” Ironically it was the very fact of being a ‘single mum’ that propelled her into her own business. To Eve, makeup is much more than just superfluous fluff and it has been her path to honour the value of Service. “When I see that inner beauty shining in through in her eyes when she sees the finished result, I know I’m doing much more than just painting faces.”

When you reconnect with the Real You and get clear on your personal values and purpose you begin to design more fulfilling and meaningful pathways to living the life of your dreams. This doesn’t mean success is easy per se. In the main it takes years of hard work and dedication to achieve anything worthwhile. However life is in the day-to-day living of it. If you’re fuelled by the things that really matter to you, instead of getting caught up in external noise and OPIs (Other Peoples Ideas) you’ll have much more stamina, endurance and joy for your ‘Doing’.

When your very Being is aligned with the bigger picture of life, your Thinking, Speaking and Doing work in harmony to bring your dreams to fruition. Stay clear on your ‘Why’ and you’ll always find a way ‘How’.

Love n light til next time,
Sari

Lenny Kravitz 'I Belong To You' & uROk tips for true love!

It's my 18 year anniversary with my most awesome husband Matt Kirk today and I wanted to share the love with you all before we continue on with our private celebrations heh heh.

If you're a 'single' out there, please be assured that true love really does exist and contemplate on these ideas below:

1. Never settle for second best - you know in your heart how you really feel.

2. Stay true to your vision of love. Most importantly however (and contrary to what a lot of life coaching 'experts' will say) don't be so concerned about visualising your life partners physical appearance, concentrate rather on their internal qualities and how they make you feel. When I first met Matt it was not 'love at first sight' but love at first 'connection'. When we spoke our hellos and shook hands I think I knew then I'd be with this man for the rest of my life.

3. When you find someone you can love - focus on what you do love about them and not the tiny imperfections we're all blessed with. Seek always to understand before being understood.

4. Have fun!!! Matt and I are best friends. We've always been like two peas in a pod. Yes, we have some different interests and ideas on some stuff but at the heart of the matter we are deeply connected through our common values. Not every value is the same but the primary values of Love, Faith and Service are those that underpin all our decisions. It's easy to agree on the big things because our decisions are driven from the same point.

If 'Love' is your current NOG (Number One Goal) and you feel it's key to the 'Dream Your Live, Live Your Dream' vision for you don't lose faith or motivation. Check your mental diet and revisit the tunes you're playing on 'Radio Me'. Are they thoughts that serve or hinder your goal? Develop some 'Iam, I now, I feel' mantras to keep you on track. Are you doing the types of things that will serve and support your goal? If you want to meet someone you'll have to leave your loungeroom!

If you're already in a relationship and you think you could do a bit of re-engineering of your love life, consider grabbing a couple of copies of uROk 33 Day Challenge. Working through the Personal Values section together will establish a wonderful platform for far more effective communication between the two of you. And - better communication means means more fun and less fights!!!

If you are one of the 'singles' .. you are a unique and unrepeating miracle and exactly the right person is somewhere out there. Be open and patient and you never know who will walk through the door. And, if you want to reclarify who that person is by how they make you feel and the shared values I spoke of then you'll find uROk 33 Day Challenge invaluable too (we've already had one wedding as a result of uROk 33 Day Challenge and I'm sure there will be many more to come!!). By keeping your intention clear and feeding your vision daily, you'll be in a much better head and heart space for attracting (and then building a wonderful supportive relationship with) that special guy or girl.

With love and light to you all. Enjoy the Lenny Kravitz video - beautiful and so so true.



uROk!!

Join this life-changing global event starting 22.02.09

It’s hard to believe we’re already marching toward the end of January 2009 but it does highlight the importance of being present every day and truly experiencing the moment. There is no better time to start living the life of your dreams than right now, here, today. Waiting, hoping and/or wishing for something better, the right time, the right person, place or circumstance is just a waste of time.

Defining your vision, creating plans to make it happen and taking daily action – this is where your true power and all your potential lives. There are many ways you can go about reengineering your life at the start of a New Year: you can create a vision statement or vision board, write a list of goals, brush up on a favourite subject, take a course, join a club ... the list goes on. On the other hand, you could do any or all of these things as part of the ‘uROk 33 Day Challenge’ – the simplest, most effective and money back guaranteed way to ‘Dream Your Life, Live Your Dream’.

I designed the ‘uROk 33 Day Challenge’ as a do-it-yourself life management and goal achievement programme so I guess you could think of it as your ‘Life-Coach in a Box’. Over the course of a month or so, you complete some prework exercises following a simple 3-Step process of Examine, Imagine & Reason and then embark upon the 33 days of the uROk Challenge. All you need to do to make it work is dedicate at least 15 minutes a day to completing your daily Personal Wheel covering the major areas of your life: Health, Wealth, Self, Love, Work, Create and Y. Complete with workbook, guided visualisation CD and online support uROk 33 Day Challenge is quietly changing lives all around the world.

But 2009 is the year we are not going to be so quiet about uROk 33 Day Challenge and the powerful effect it is having on so many people. Sunday 22nd February 2009 sees us kick off the first formal online worldwide ‘group’ uROk 33 Day Challenge and I’ll be personally facilitating the prework exercises as well as the 33 days of uROk Challenge via our uROk facebook pages and uROk.tv Members Lounge. You only pay for the cost of uROk 33 Day Challenge (AUD89.00 + p&h for uROk.tv members) and my coaching support is totally free. I’ll be guiding you, supporting you, and cheering you on as you progress - and so will the thousands of other people around the world who start with you on Sunday 22nd February 2009.

My vision for the group uROk 33 Day Challenge is that it will not only improve your individual life and lead each and every one of you into greater fulfilment and meaning, but through the combined energy of the uROk group we begin to shift an even wider collective energy into a more positive space. We become (to paraphrase Ghandi) ‘the change we wish to see in our world’.

So if you’re ready to make 2009 your best year ever and you want to get on board and start with us on Sunday 22nd February 2009, head to the urok.tv Members Lounge and sign up as a free member (that way you’ll get a discount on your online shopping with us). Then hop on over to the uROk shop and buy your copy of uROk 33 Day Challenge. I’ll be posting the first e-coaching session on both the uROk facebook group as well as here in our Members Lounge late next week so order uROk 33 Day Challenge today to make sure you get it with plenty of time to spare.

I can’t wait to get started with you on the 22nd of February – Rocking!

Until then, love and light to you and yours.

In every moment there is choice – uROk!
Sari

Create Your Life Movie and Watch Your Dreams and Goals Come to Life

Today’s one is a bit of a long one so hang in there because I’ll give you some great tips on how to actually dream your ideal life and start enjoying the life of your dreams.

Everyone has secret hopes and dreams for themselves. Weird and wacky, deep and spiritual, altruistic and powerful, our dreams come in all shapes and sizes and they are uniquely ours. And, most (discounting the certifiably crazy ones) are totally Ok with the universe.

Whether its as simple as shower curtains with skull motifs on them, a new Harley Davidson, a million dollar yacht, a shack in the mountains or an island, a pair of Bettina Lianos, or things like love, service, connection – everyone, yes everyone has hopes and dreams.

Granted our hopes and dreams look very different on the surface but they are all variations upon a theme, actually the same thing – the search for personal expression and meaning in life. Its all about meaning and purpose, propelling us forward. Hence why it’s incredibly valuable to take time reflecting upon some of the bigger things in life, in order to clarify to your subconscious which way you want the rest of it to play out.

Any external stimuli will do for the old subconscious mind. It doesn’t care what you put in it will faithfully direct you along the path you show it. Your subconscious mind is not biased to what is good and what is not good for you –it takes it’s lead from the things you put in. What you do in your daily life, your actions and behaviours, shape your present. What you witness in your daily life determines the scope you enjoy in the future. What you think about shapes the world we all experience.

But lets take a step back for a moment. What do I mean by external stimuli? The people you meet and mix with, the magazines and books you read, the television and movies you watch, the food you eat, the clothes you wear – all of it. Every life has a general theme running through it, and the easiest way to discover your current theme is to imagine your life (as it really is, and has been up until now) as a best selling movie.

What is your movie about? Would you want to go and see your movie? Would it make you laugh or cry, get depressed or inspired, or all of the above? Now, project forward. What scene are you up to in your movie? The love scene perhaps. The hero faces his challenge, makes millions or wins the race scenes. Maybe you are at another exciting twist or turn with still yet unknown results?

Where ever you find yourself in the movie of your life, you can start, day by day, writing the rest of it, more in tune with the movie you’d prefer to star in.Your metamorphosis from today’s reality to living the life of your dreams can be as groundbreaking or as slow as you want. Realising your life is YOUR movie to write, allows you to become better at getting and focusing on what should be in it next. The scenery and backgrounds you intend to use, the props, other actors, and general scenes and story lines.

Now, if looking at your movie wasn’t such a pleasant experience in parts, there’s not much to be done about it now as there’s no time to re-shoot scenes. You’ll just have to focus on what’s coming up next and what you are enjoying right now in the movie. If you were unhappy or bored with your last couple of scenes or even the whole thing thus far, how could the next one differ to illustrate a change for the better was coming?

Conversely, if you are already blessed to love your current life movie, what does the next scene hold to suggest it’s going to rise to new and magnificent heights? An effective way to influence the subconscious (and thereby your conscious choices, actions and behaviours) is to show it all of the things you want to be, do, and enjoy in the future. It will diligently go about directing you that way.



I’ll share with you today a really quick and easy way to do this in a structured and focused way. You will immediately harness the law of attraction and get better results full stop. Unfortunately many people out there (guilty here too, from time to time) just allow random information to get plugged in. It’s far more enjoyable and satisfying to consider what you need for your own movie rather than getting distracted by everyone else’s.

Consider whether you have the right ‘actors’ for the next scene in your movie or whether you need to hold some auditions for some more or replacement ones. Have you found the locations that are right for your next scene? Do you even know what the next scene is?It doesn’t matter what your movie has been about up until now, you can change it slowly by rearranging the next scene, and the next and the next. You can dream it up as you go along.

Now I promised you a quick and easy way to do all of this and here it is. Take five minutes out now to think about your life movie – better still WRITE IT DOWN. Writing it down will improve the effectiveness of this exercise a gazillion fold. It’s a fantastic first, and repeat step, to getting the subconscious mind working more in the direction of your real wants and needs. By putting more appropriate stuff in, you’ll suddenly find yourself smack-bang in the next scene of your movie and think, wow, this thing is getting better.

In essence, you are simply programming the most awesome tool in the known universe to work in the way it was intended.I talk in more detail about all this in the uROk 33 Day Challenge but for now, the quick win of writing your life script will do wonders for your mind, body and soul in the meantime. See your ultimate life movie in as much detail as you can. Visualise your life movie as often as you can. In fact, if you like, click into our shop for the Contribution and Achievement guided visualisation CD ‘Dream Your Life, Live Your Dream’.

If you’re not familiar with a guided visualisation, allow me. Firstly, I get you to physically relax to a very deep level where all tension leaves and you ‘lose’ your body, it is so relaxed. The objective being to get your brain into the slower, but much more creative, brainwaves ranging from Alpha to Theta. Out of the fast, every day Theta waves, so that you can actually ‘see’ the movie of your life. Imagining your ideal life is made easier for you with the help of a stunning soundscape and meditative voice prompts to guide you. A word of caution about the CD however, don’t listen it while you’re driving or doing other stuff like that.

Lots of people report falling asleep when they first start using ‘Dream Your Life, Live Your Dream’, Many say they found it a healing experience none-the-less to deeply relax to that level, so it’s no problem if it take a few times to reach the end. Others tell me of the deep and profound emotions they experience, and how uplifted and positive they feel at the end. Like millions of others who use visualisation, I love the process, and find it extremely effective, to be repeatedly dreaming my life and actually living those dreams as a result. I know you’ll enjoy more inspiring and memorable scenes in the movie of your life if you decide to take it up too.

In any case, I did say todays blog was going to be on the long side but I hope you got some good ideas as a result. Remember to check out the uROk 33 Day Challenge in the shop for a complete do-it-yourself programme to help you Dream Your Life and Live Your Dream.

Until next time, remember in every moment there is choice.

Take Your Aha Moments From Realisations To Realities with The uROk 33 Day Challenge
By Sari Mustonen-Kirk Thursday, 8 May 2008

All of us are subject to idle chatter babbling away in our heads. Unbelievably, up to as much as 95% of all your thinking time could be currently wasted. Could’ve, would’ve, should’ve or other negative thoughts in general are the old favourite tunes you may be so used to listening to, you forget they’re even playing. You need to claim back some of that valuable thinking time and put it to better use.

So you read the motivational and inspirational books, attend the seminars and listen to the experts, and say “Oh, Aha! Yes. I get it. I agree.” Then pumped up with enthusiasm, you create a bunch of resolutions about your ‘new life’ and even go the next steps to exert efforts to make it all happen. Yet some time down the track (even as little as a few days later) you find yourself still squarely in your ‘old life’ wondering what happened?

You felt so committed at the time but somehow the effects (and urgency) wore off. Where did your motivation go? Nowhere! It was still there inside you but the busy-ness of life came crashing in and you simply ‘forgot’ to exercise it in the directions that were really important to you. As your focus slowly returned to the little picture of daily life, your hopes and dreams got squeezed out. It’s not that you were ‘weak’ or a ‘loser’ it’s more likely that your motivation had no clear process to work through.

Without a system or a method to create change in your life, you’ll find it near impossible to keep the momentum up. Motivational hype is energising but temporary - the real power lies in simple, easy to adopt processes.You acknowledge you need a process so you set off to find the right programme, school or coach to help you do it. The next hurdles you encounter are often time or money or both. You can’t afford the process you think you need, or you simply don’t have the time to do it. You resign yourself to your current ‘reality’ and pack away your hopes and dreams for ‘later’. It doesn’t have to be this way.

For over twenty years I’ve been designing and refining a process to specifically support ‘aha’ moments and help channel motivation in the right directions. I’ve used the same models in my business consulting and personal development programmes costing in the thousands and taking weeks (or months) to complete. Even though my clients achieved amazing results giving me enormous personal satisfaction, for a long time I kept thinking about others who could really use my help but could neither afford the time or money required.

Back in 2000 I started developing a solution that was affordable, easy, and Do-It-Yourself to give everyone the opportunity to ‘Dream Your Life, Live Your Dream’. The uROk 33 Day Challenge is the answer. The Challenge is a two part DIY programme that takes you as little as fifteen minutes a day (or as long as an hour) and works to help you reconnect with the real you and then create the life of your dreams one day at a time.

It’s based on three of the most powerful tools I’ve developed, and it assists you to:

1. Harness your creative power,

2. Connect to what really matters to you, and

3. Take daily action to bring your dreams to life.

Since we launched uROk.tv in 2002 we’ve had all kinds of people test it and you can see for yourself how well it works by reading the testimonials from some of those who’ve done it.



I know it works, is priced right, and is easy to do. It even comes with a money back guarantee so you don’t have to just take my word for it, you can test it for yourself risk-free. And as corny as it may sound to some, I’ve poured my very heart and soul into the uROk 33 Day Challenge and taken many years to make sure it’s just right for you.

The life of your dreams really is within your reach, and with my help and just over a month of your time, together we can start to make it happen. Please don’t pack away your hopes and dreams for another day, make today the first day of the rest of your life and rise to The Challenge. Remember, in every moment there is choice.

Until next time – uROk!
