Unwind Your Mind with these simple steps

Unwind Your Mind with These Simple Steps

The only power that you have lies within your mind. Your thoughts are powerful, they create your reality and it is the one thing you have complain domain over. 

I know that it doesn't always feel true. Sometimes our thoughts go so fast that we feel out of control. The mind races, our hearts pound, we can't seem to get it together. 

Victor Frankl, Austrian Psychiatrist and author of Man's Search for Meaning, states: between stimulus and response is a space, and in this space lies your power. 

This is where your genius lives.  In the quiet, calm, deep knowing of the stillness that is you. 

The practice is being aware of the space and allowing yourself to be there, to breathe, to be, and to know. 

I often tell my clients that you cannot be breathing deeply and experience a panic attack at the same time. It's just not possible. So we must be the masters of our breath and then we become the masters of our minds , choosing our thoughts and creating how we want to experience life. 

I invite you to begin by practicing every day to be, just be in the space between stimulus and response. It's simply to just begin noticing your breath. Notice your thought telling yourself "I am aware of my breath". That's it, just start there. A few minutes every day and you will begin to experience a shift in how you think, feel and experience your life each day. You will feel your mind slowing down, discovering the clarity of your thoughts and activating your inner genius. And best of all... this is where joy and happiness lives! Watch you'll see. Give it a try.

Show Up As Your Best

Show Up as Your Best

Do your remember that time when you were on top of the world? It can't get any better than this! Remember when you were the star of the show? You were walking on cloud nine. Everything seemed easy, all in it's place. You were shining so bright, confident, collected and on track. 

You may have even wondered, 'how did I get here? Did I really make this happen? This is my life!'

You remember it as if it was yesterday. You can feel the feeling well up in your heart, your shoulders drop, your face softens, even a gentle smile makes it's way to your lips.  

Remember.

That's it! You've got it! You have access to that feeling anytime. It's how you created that experience in the first place. You were tapped in, tuned in and turned on to your goal, vision, dream and the amazing feeling of living it. 

You can feel that feeling any time you choose. Yes, choose it! Yes, it's practice. Yes, it's possible. How will you show up as your best today? Choose one thing and take inspired action now! 
~ you deserve it!~



What a Difference a Day Makes!


What A Difference A Day Makes!

What's your dream?

What calls to you as you lie in bed at night, thinking of your dream life?

What wishes, hopes, and dreams that seem to be unfulfilled, continously living in 'dreamland'?

I know, you're thinking - "it's no big deal. That's not real life. It's just a dream. I need to be practical." 

Let me ask you something, how many super practical people do you know that are over the top happy, satisfied and loving their life?

I see a lot of practical people trying to 'make it' to retirement, making enough money to religiously pay their bills each month staying within the lines, not reaching to high as to stay safe and not be dissapointed. 

Most people, when they reach their 'finish line' regret the things they didn't do, the risks they didn't take. 

I don't believe that dreams were meant to be out of reach, child's play, something we just want but never achieve. That sounds so sad! A life wasted on regret! 
It's the small steps each day, the 1% improvement 1 day at a time. And most importantly, love yourself like your life depended on it. 
Because it does! I want to share 3 of my favorite daily inspired action to get to that dream - make it real for yourself:
1. meditation
2. move your body
3. journal 

Not sure how or what to journal, check out my YES! YES! Journal ~ just 33 days at a time. Get it here!



Manifest With Friends!

Manifest With Friends!
The most difficult and the most rewarding work you will ever do, is to work you do on yourself. 

And yes, for those parents out there - this is even bigger than parenting! I know this because I have 4 boys, including twins, and I am a personal development expert ~ I teach it, practice it, and live it. 

Remember there's no perfection - delete that from your vocabulary. Certain things are uncertain. Perfection is not only uncertain, it is really untrue. We have created this idea around the concept of perfection in that we do no wrong, never screw up and never fail.

Here's the new meaning of perfection (try it out!) ~ You show up. You do your best.  You be authentically you. You love yourself with all the pieces (wanted and unwanted). You thrive in your genius. 

People often ask me how I do it. How do I stay happy, confident, at ease when I am working with people every day and helping them get through their problems. 

I Do The Work!

I take time off. I play. I meditate. I journal. 

And most important, I have my community of friends and colleagues that support and cheer each other on! 

Manifesting with Friends will spark joy and creativity in you and bring you more success in all that you do. We even started a Morning Money Study ~ juicy stuff! One of the most emotional topics to get in touch with!

And.......

You're all invited! this group is open to to you. Check it out, and join this amazing community. Remember, the more good we have, the more good we can share! Check it out!
