Book Breakout!

All of you authors out there, forget the limiting belief that you need an agent and a publisher to get your book out there. John Locke just became the first self-published author to break the million copy e-book barrier.

It is a brand new world out there, a very very large one.

Cheering you on to great success and happiness.

Happy Father's Day

I did not know my father very well. He was a serious alcoholic and we drifted apart. Then my son, Barnaby was born. There he is just a few days old.













By some miracle of connection my father's and my letters crossed in the mail. It was so much easier sharing baby Barnaby than our painful past. Thank you Barnaby!

My father died. And I confess to a bit of nostalgia on Father's Day.

Then Barnaby and Sheri had a baby! It takes a few divorces to manage it, but Emery has seven grandparents! We were all together to welcome her.

Life is so filled with miracles. I never anticipated the rich, wondrous experience my son has brought to my life. I certainly never imagined what it would be like to see him become a father himself.











On your first Father's Day, Barnaby, I wish you, Sheri, and baby Emery all of the love and joy that life has to offer.

Here's to the nurturing, protecting spirit of fathers everywhere and in each one of us.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Breakout Coach Training

You are invited to a special event with Mandy Evans.

Breakout Coach Training
October 27-30 ● Palm Springs, California ● Limit, 24 Participants

When you are clear and happy you make different choices. They lead down remarkably different paths from the ones you pick when you are afraid or caught in a web of life-extinguishing beliefs.
Knowing how to break out from beliefs that cause emotional pain and block success has transformed my life. I cannot imagine anything that would add more value to your life and your coaching career than being able to recognize and break out from limiting beliefs to happiness, success and miracles!

That is why I designed The BREAKOUT Coach Training for:
• Experienced and new coaches
• Counselors
• Teachers
• Therapists
• People in the healing professions
• Committed students of human potential

My work with people from all walks of life, including some of the most successful coaches in the business, confirms how priceless it is to work through fears and self doubt. The ability to coach someone through limiting beliefs is equally important - and as rare as hen's teeth!

What people are saying:

I've been working with Mandy for more than 20 years. She is the clearest, happiest, and most effective miracle-maker I've ever known. She helps me get clear so I get results. I have never met anyone like her. I love her.
-Joe Vitale, author of "The Attractor Factor" and way too many other books to list here.

Whenever I'm feeling stuck and convinced I'll never get back into the flow, I turn to Mandy Evans - her deceptively simple questions are fast-acting, long-lasting, friendly and fun!
-Michael Neill, SuperCoach and best selling author of "You Can Have What You Want."

Mandy's workshops have helped me go for it in every area of my life. She has given me wonderful tools to release limiting beliefs and open to the larger flow of the universe. I now embrace life fully, and look forward to each new adventure.
-Sonia Gunderson

Sometimes just learning more information is not enough. We need to take action- change our thinking, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors. Taking Mandy's Break Out weekend helped me to realize how and why I was holding myself back from a fuller life, not facing certain difficulties, and to reconnect to my inner Spirit of daring and joyous living. Inspired and 'breakout' determined, I have now completed a huge project avoided for 10 years! Also, by taking the necessary steps to action and believing in my core of joy.
-Laura Silva, M.A., LicMHC, Awakening Coach and Intuitive Psychotherapist

The BREAKOUT weekend experience was life changing for me personally and professionally. Mandy's gift for teaching and practicing the BREAKOUT Option Method is brilliant. If something is not working in your life you can be sure somewhere behind it is a self-defeating belief. Wouldn't you like to know what that belief is? Happiness IS only a thought away.
-Dr. Robert Edelburg, The Palm Springs Healing Center

See you in Palm Springs!

Why Bother with Those Pesky Beliefs

Why Bother with Beliefs? Positive ones. Negative ones.
Limiting, self-defeating ones. Why bother with those all
those pesky beliefs anyway?

Because what you believe effects every choice you make.

Every day we humans grin with delight or feel our hearts
break; we suit up or give up, get married or divorced, take
jobs, quit jobs, make peace or go to war because of what
we believe. We make important life decisions operating
from a hidden program we are not even aware we have.

Intense emotions sweep through us. Sometimes they stay longer
than we like. All because of our belief systems, our individual
versions of reality.

That is why I encourage you to pay attention to your beliefs.
Learn to question every emotion you do not like feeling; you
will find your beliefs. What is that emotion about? Why is
that the way to feel? What are you concerned would happen
if you did not feel that way?

Challenge every limit to following your heartfelt desire. You
will uncover the beliefs that hold you back. Nurture the tingling
awareness of what you want to attract to you and move toward.
It will lead you through life learning everything you need to
know as you go.

If I sound unusually impassioned today, I am.

Why? Because I do not believe beliefs are important. I know
they are! And very few people are paying much attention,
except you! Thank you so much for your interest, encouragement
and support. Your awareness is important. Your open minded
curiosity will change your life and the lives of those you touch.

Would you like to go much deeper and learn a whole lot more
about how to break out to success, happiness and miracles?
Come to the BREAKOUT Coach Training in Palm Springs,
October 27-30. I will train 24 people how to indentify and break
out from beliefs that hold them back.

Designed for both new and experienced coaches, teachers,
therapists and people in the healing professions the course is open
to all committed students. Everyone is a coach to someone,
especially ourselves.

An announcement goes out next week with a discounted early
registration tuition of $775. The course may fill quickly. If you
want to come and be sure you have a space, let me know.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Love,
Mandy

Remembrance and Reconciliation

Did you know memorial day began as a time of remembrance and reconciliation to honor soldiers from both sides of the American Civil War? First known as Decoration Day, by the early 20th century it became a time to visit and decorate the graves of family members.

My grandmother guarded every blossom in our yard from plucking before that last weekend in May. Then we I loaded up the car with peonies, roses, lilacs and tulips and drove out to the Rockville Cemetary. We visited old graves of relatives I never knew and the newer one of my paternal grandfather, even though my parents were divorced, in the true spirit of remembrance.

All 4 of my grandparents are buried there now, some of my mother's ashes scattered, all of my aunts and uncles and 3 cousins though I am the first born. My heart feels very full with sweet memories of them and the soft scent of roses, peonies and lilacs

Happy Memorial day Weekend. With all of the usual celebrations I wish you a time of sweet remembrance, reconciliation and spring flowers.

New Breakout Tools

The BREAKOUT STORE is open! It's full of tools to
break out to success, happiness and miracles at
http://mandyevans.com/the-breakout-store

I sorted through hours of material, editing and digitalizing
to give you the best of what I've learned from my life's
work. I put it online and priced everything way low so
everyone can afford it.

What's there?

"Beliefs About Love" Stop sabotaging Cupid with a
fresh look at love.

Peace with the Past" recorded at the Betty Ford Center
reveals deeply personal details of my journey as the daughter
of a violent alcoholic father and how I made peace with my
own past.

"Choosing Happiness" provides a complete overview of
the Option Method and a rare opportunity to listen to actual
real-life Option Dialogues.

The "Breakout to Miracles" video was recorded live at the
amazing Miracles Weekend with Joe Vitale in San Diego.
The entire talk is here along with the standing ovation!
Miracles abound! Learn how to accept yours.

My books, "Emotional Options" and "Travelling Free"
are there too, filled with workshop-tested exercises and
insights, they work like your own work-shop-in-a-book.

If you want to break out from prison you need some tools.
When the prison is of your own making, built with beliefs
that block your happiness and clamp limits on your
success, that old hack saw we see in the movies won't
help at all. Go to The Breakout Store and get some new
ones http://mandyevans.com/the-breakout-store

It is important! Why?

With every false conclusion you come to you fence out a
bit of freedom. Every time you adopt a erroneous belief
about who you are, what you can have and the nature our
world, you rule out countless possibilities. Little by little
as you go through life you confine yourself in a smaller
and space with fewer opportunities. Often the space is
filled with fear, anger, regret, or guilt.

We all do it! But few of us become aware of how our own
belief systems have to shape our lives. Those of us who
share these messages have broken out of solitary
confinement for sure. I think the breakouts are infinite and
love to hear about yours. I'm grateful for your insights
and enouragement.

Please share this with anyone who could use some good
breakout tools.

To your happiness and success!

Love,

Mandy

Breakout from Regret

Regret works like swallowing a bit of poison every day.
It destroys your health and well-being. It closes down
your view of life, blocking out opportunities and beauty.
Habitual regret exacts an enormous toll but delivers no
reward.

A man I'll call Tom taught me my first lesson about
regret. He showed how experiences from long ago fire
up a feeling like the replay of a video - only in real life.

If you want to find beliefs that block happiness start
with a strong feeling you do not like having. Identify
the feeling and question it.

That takes courage because when you question an
emotion with an open mind you enter into uncharted
territory. When I work with people neither one of us
knows what we will discover and go through together.
Years of explorations have taught me that the feeling
we are looking at will most likely come alive while
we study it.

The feeling Tom did not like having was rage. We began
asking questions. I did not have the answers, but Tom
did.

What are you feeling rage about?
My childhood.

What about your childhood?
My mother died when I was twelve. I was the oldest of
five kids and my father always wanted me to take care
of them. His idea of taking care was being in charge of
them. They resented it. They hated me.

What about that leads to rage?
I felt like I only had two choices, disappoint my dad or
make my brothers and sisters hate me.

What about that involves rage?
Tom's body trembled with anger. He spoke through
clenched teeth and began to cry.

Because I'll never know! I'll never know who I would be
if I'd just been free to be a kid. I'll never know.

What about not knowing who you would be if your childhood
had been different leads to rage?

Though I've seen this look many times it always moves me deeply.
Tom's rage slowly dissolved. After a quiet moment he moved
into a sort of soft bewilderment. That's the space of creativity
where the way it was is gone and the new way can come
into being.

He smiled and said simply, I don't know. I don't feel it now.
I guess none of us knows who we would be if things had
been different.

That was a beginning of many explorations for Tom and
for me.

I began to notice the power of regret in the lives of my
students, my friends and myself. For some of us it lingered
as sadness, for others an abiding sense of shame, for many
the default feeling was anger or even rage.

What belief held these feelings in place? What kept them
alive so long?

Since we each create a unique belief system as we go through
life I found many beliefs. There was one belief though, that
everyone held that fed the feelings of regret: If that regrettable
thing or circumstance had not happened, I'd be me, with
my life, only it would be better.

The kinds of better differ; I'd be more confident, successful,
stronger, more beautiful, have more money, be unashamed,
fearless, lovable.

That belief, I would be me, with my life, only better, is not true!
You can't change one puzzle piece in real life and come up with the
same picture only prettier. The whole thing changes. Your life would
be completely different. We have no idea what it would be like. How do you
regret a complete unknown?

Instead of wondering what caused things to happen, Bruce Di
Marsico (founder of the Option Method) liked to ponder, I
wonder what this will be for? I like to ask, what would I like
this to be for, what do I want to come from this?

If there is something you regret you may want to ask those two
questions too. I'd love to hear what you find. Post comments at

Wishing you happiness, success and freedom from regret!

Love,
Mandy
