Imagine giving a simple gift that becomes the unexpected answer to another's prayer
- A gift that uplifts and inspires in the midst of such uncertainty
- That actually supports practical life changes for the better
- A gift not available in stores, new enough to be a surprise to your recipients and that costs you $0 to $20.
- And are you willing to present it as the amazing, transformative gift that it is, even if you don't have a pricey sales receipt to prove it?
- If yes, below are 3 gifts you can give that will nourish people's personal freedom. . .
GIFT 1 - Get Back to Work Faster - free ebook or $18 paperback
Get Back to Work Faster, written by my friend, and best-selling author Jill Konrath, was created in mid-2009 in response to the many people desperate and suffering due to layoffs. She wrote it for her family and friends, and gave it away free to the world. Why? "Because the traditional way of finding a job is seriously broken and most job seekers don't know it."
Jill knows how to create meaningful, well-paid work that didn't exist until she created it. Yes, you can create a great job and you don't have to go into business for yourself to do it. Jill puts her comforting arms around readers and walks them through how to do this for themselves - in a calm, straight forward and practical manner, with easy to grasp examples. She follows it up with free support on her website.
If you want a book to wrap up in gift paper, you can buy it from Amazon.com for about $18. (Nope, it's not in book stores.) Here's the link - Paperback version of Get Back to Work Faster. Or you can put Jill's website address on a card and present the whole package - her free ebook, free teleseminars and free online interviews with Robert Shindell of ILostMyJob.com - as the answer to the prayer that it is. Here's the link to Jill's website - Get Back to Work Faster.
GIFT 2 - Choffy - $15 plus S&H
Choffy is roasted and ground, fair-trade, organic cacao beans that you brew at home. Basically, it's chocolate without the added sugar, fat, dairy, chemicals and preservatives. Yet Choffy contains vital nutrients including serotonin, zinc, magnesium, iron and more antioxidants than blueberries, acai, goji berries, and more.
For anyone wanting to kick the coffee/caffeine habit, or avoid starting it altogether, Choffy may be the answer. My friend couldn't function without her coffee first thing in the morning. I didn't believe her, until I saw her for myself - scary. She got one bag of Choffy and began brewing half coffee and half Choffy. When her Choffy ran out, and she tried just coffee again, YUK! (Me and my Choffy to the rescue!) Since Choffy is fairly new, and not sold in stores, it's likely to be a unique, surprising gift.
Choffy does contain a gentle, body-friendly stimulant called theobromine. Choffy is non-addictive. It makes me feel calm, clear-headed and optimistic.
Kids are starting on Starbucks in middle and high school, some even younger than that. Gift them with an alternative. Choffy won't disrupt their sleep cycle, constantly stress their bodies, and hook them into a lifelong, addictive habit. Sure, they may still drink coffee out, but they'll also have a tasty, viable alternative - one that they don't know about right now.
Choffy is $15 a bag. I suggest Ivory Coast - it's my favorite. To order Choffy, click here - www.DrinkChoffy.com/Vicki.
GIFT 3 - EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) - Free
EFT is a self-administered technique to free yourself of the emotional baggage from your past that is negatively impacting your present (and, therefore, your future). EFT works when most other therapies do not. It's the "almost perfect therapy."
Clear anger, resentment, phobias, past traumas, nightmares, insecurities, fear of public speaking, fear of dentists, bed-wetting, etc. EFT often works on pain and injuries, too. Kids get it - imagine kids that you know growing up free of emotional baggage. It's possible for them right now.
I downloaded the free EFT manual, copied it and gave it to my nieces when they graduated from school. Dorky gift? A free, easy, do-it-yourself method for freeing yourself from limiting beliefs and emotional pain is never dorky.
To access the free EFT manual, click here - www.emofree.com. You can also hire an EFT practitioner to teach you and/or guide you through your own issues. That's not free, but the freedom you gain is worth much more than you pay for the service. (I do EFT by phone and in person, too.)
For those of you who live near Littleton, CO, I hold a free, monthly EFT practice group in Downtown Littleton. Gift yourself, your friends and family by joining us. Details are on my EFT Classes page.
GIFT 4 - Weight Loss - an extra gift to tell you about
This gift is higher cost, but I decided to include it because so many people want it. Zrii has created the only 3rd party products endorsed by the (Deepak) Chopra Center for Wellbeing. That endorsement speaks for itself. Available for the first time in August 2009, NutriiVeda is a meal replacement product. It costs about $3 a meal - which is a good price. The cost only seems high because it's sold in bulk, around $80 per container. Of course, go out for an evening or two and you've easily spent that much.
NutriiVeda does much more than just get a person through one meal a day and help release stored fat. NutriiVeda contains nutrition your body is craving. By substituting it for a meal each day, you increase your health, which helps to reduce your body's craving for more "input." You can read about NutriiVeda on my Zrii page, and learn more by following the links.
Imagine giving someone NutriiVeda and EFT - amazing tools to address both the physical and emotional causes behind the daily focus on food, weight, being fat or "not getting fat again."
It's all about freedom - nurturing personal freedom. Simply by telling others that these gifts exist, you can help to change lives, including your own. Feel free to forward this to anyone you wish.
May each of us live freely and take delight in our amazing lives!
Vicki
