The Ten ELAN Principles…
Welcome to the Writing portion of the PattyMayeux.com blog. This is where I will post ELAN-related short posts to encourage, entertain or inspire you on Mondays. Some of it will be a reboot of the ELAN blog from a few years back where I shared best practices based on my ELAN courses. Elevating Life Attitudes Now is the official name, but we can all use a bit of ELAN in our lives, so let’s just call it that. According to my “friend” Miriam Webster, elan means energy, style and enthusiasm. YES! to all three!
Here are the TEN ELAN Principles that you will be hearing more about in weeks to come:
- 1.Honor a Higher Power
- 2. Respect Others
- 3. Love Yourself
- 4. Cast a Wide Net
- 5. Practice the Abundance Mentality
- 6. Make Things Happen
- 7.Observe Your World
- 8. Be a Good Steward of Your Resources
- 9. Watch Your Language
- 10. Be a Lifelong Learner

While my family celebrates the birth of the Christ Child (in faith-based as well as commercial traditions), I appreciate and respect other…
Limiting Beliefs…
Like it or not, we all view our slice of the world through a limiting lens. It is part of human nature (and maybe survival) to harbor deeply rooted ideas of life based on observations and experiences of the past. Isn’t that what most movies and novels are about? The character wants something but can’t…
It’s All About The Love…
In last Wednesday’s Substack post I mentioned the 10 ELAN Principles by which I strive to live. ELAN was a self-development course I created and facilitated a few years ago, hopefully to the benefit of all who participated. These principles have since informed my life and these posts: 1. Honor a Higher Power = Love God by…
