You are not stuck!

You are not stuck!

I heard a simple, yet powerful phrase today that I choose to share with you as a reminder... Here it is .... "You are not stuck unless you stop" you don't have to be perfect ... just keep on going for the thing your heart desires to pull out of you!

Let go of fixed ideas about who you are

Let go of fixed ideas about who you are

Do you want to live in a box of your own making? Or are you willing to let go of your old self to discover new possibilities?

Are you hostage to someone else's ideas about you?

Are you hostage to someone else's ideas about you?

Just because you love someone doesn't mean you have to be hostage to their moods or emotions. Are you constantly placating them? Are you ready to stop doing that? What if you chose instead to focus on creating your life, and let them be them and you be you. It may feel uncomfortable at first, and they may not like it, but you will get over it. Go ahead and dream a bigger dream for you!

How good is your follow-through?

What is the very first thing you tell yourself in the morning?

What is the very first thing you tell yourself in the morning?

How you start your day can have a strong influence on what happens throughout the day. What happens throughout each day is shapes the pattern of your life, and the joy and fulfillment you experience in life. We live in a world with other people. What other people do and say can affect us both positively and negatively. You can't control everything that happens to you but you can choose how your day starts.

Does life feel tough right now?

Does life feel tough right now?

lf life feels tough right now, just hold on. It means that you are going through a period of growth but may not be fully aware of the outcome yet.

Everything can change. Nothing is fixed. Hold on and look for clues that will help you to transform your life. This period in time will not last forever, but it is up to you to start the shift. Movement is required in order for things to change, and that initial action has to come from you.

You do not have to be perfect

You do not have to be perfect

The strive for mastery is a wonderful ideal to aim towards. Perfection on the other hand, is an idea that stops many people from starting. If you cannot start, it's impossible to reach your goal. You do not have to be perfect. The truth is, that you have to make a start in order to attain the skills required for the rest of the journney. You do not have to be perfect to start your journey. The journey itself will teach you what you need to know.

Give yourself a reason to get up and go.

Give yourself a reason to get up and go.

Things can happen that dampen your spirit. Plans don't always go according to plan. Big and small dissappointments can be devastating, affect your self-esteem, and whittle away your confidence. These are the times you have to give yourself a reason to get up and get going, or just open your eyes.

How kind are you?

How kind are you?

How kind are you to yourself? No matter how thoughtful you think you may be towards other people, if you think badly of yourself, you are setting yourself up to under achieve. Yes, do reflect on how you can do even better, but also give yourself credit for what you have achieved, and how far you've come.

Do you go sit in the past?

Do you go sit in the past?

How often do you go sit in the past and stay there? Does your mind continually wander back to a hurtful event or conversation? Be honest with yourself about this, does it continue to hurt?

Brendon Burchard spoke on a similar topic and suggested the following simple, yet effective affirmation. He said "today you have a choice".

That affirmation brings you back to the present moment. Make a note of it: "today I have a choice!". When your mind wanders back to a past hurt, say it out loud. Say it 10 times everytime the story comes to mind. Let the affirmation help extinguish the story's I fluency and power to hurt you. Remember that today you have a choice. What do you choose your day to look like, today?

When was the last time you risked exploring life?

When was the last time you risked exploring life?

Has your life become very circular, doing the same things day after day, year after year? Have you become too comfortable and stopped exploring life? When was the last time you took a risk? I'm not referring to reckless behavior, but decisively doing something different, outside the normal everyday of life. When was the last time you spoke with someone you don't already know? Speaking with a stranger is easier for some, but not others. That could be an important challenge you accept. If you don't explore life, it will keep on going, but not change too much. However, you will miss out on so much that life has to offer. What would you choose for your future? Your future life needs your input to bring it into being. Are you ready to explore? What do you have to lose?

Episode 32: What are you holding onto, that if you give up, would free you to be more authentically who you be?

Episode 32: What are you holding onto, that if you give up, would free you to be more authentically who you be?

All of our thoughts, feelings, no feelings and emotions, lock us into a particular reality. Is your current reality working for you? The question then is, what else could you choose as a reality if you knew you had a choice?

When was the last time you took a moment to just be?

When was the last time you took a moment to just be?

We like to get busy doing, achieving, and setting goals, but taking time to just be in the moment is equally important. When was the last time you took a moment to soak in the beauty and inspiration that surrounds you?

What commitments are you making that you should be breaking?

What commitments are you making that you should be breaking?

We all do it, or have done it... give our time to people, places, projects, ideas or things that do little to move your life forward. Time is so precious! How would you feel if one day you woke up to realize that you ran out of time and no longer had the opportunity to do the things you would have loved to do? You no longer had time to put your ideas into action? You've made and kept commitments to other people, how might your life change if you made just one commitment to yourself?

How do you keep your vision alive over the longer term?

How do you keep your vision alive over the longer term?

There is something inside of you that keeps calling out to be heard. Something looking for you to respond. What is that thing? Are you being called to dance, but not dancing? Do you love to mentor, but not mentoring? Do you feel called to offer a skill that you bring in a unique way? Whatever it is, it needs a conversation with you everyday. Get a journal and respond to it. Create a conversation. You'll might be surprised where that takes you.

New Year New Possibilities

New Year New Possibilities

Life across the world has changed dramatically over the last few years. In the past it was exciting to look forward to the New Year but after events such as the Covid19 pandemic, shutdowns, mass unemployment, food shortage, unprecedented natural disasters, unanticipated war and political upheaval, the New Year holds far too much uncertainty. In the midst of the unknown and end of what you have always known, there is always an opportunity to create something new. The process may not be comfortable but you do have a say in what comes next you and what you create from your discomfort. What greater possibilities can you create from letting go? I wish you great joy in 2023 xx

Holiday seasons when families get together can have its ups and downs. People who have known each other for a lifetime come together but find they don't always like each other.

What gift are you going to give yourself so that your body, mind and spirit feels renewed and you start the New Year filled with a great sense of possibilities for the year ahead?

Whose permission do you need?

Picking up after the storm

Picking up after the storm

Depression can be a normal part of loss. Resist the urge to fall into a dark place by recognising it when it comes. Practice the discipline of picking up the fragments of your life and piecing them back together, being thankful for the pieces that you can work with and actively do something for other people who are in need of assistance. You might be surprised at the blessings that will turn up at your doorstep.

What legacy will you leave behind when you're gone?

What legacy will you leave behind when you're gone?

A smile, a kind word at the right time, a small gesture that shows you care, sharing your skills, talents and abilities, can make a big difference to someone's life. We all have to leave this earth at some point, what difference will you choose to make in the meantime?

What do you bring by showing up?

What do you bring by showing up?

I recently hosted a dinner to celebrate my mother's 95th birthday. It was small gathering. My mother's cousin came and brought Caribbean breakfast. Later in the day other people brought gifts of food, others brought their singing voices, all brought love. It was so beautiful it brought me to tears. It was a reminder to me that each one of us can make a difference, just by showing up. You may not think that you are ready or that you're good enough but believe me you score points just by being present.

What can you do to take yourself out of feeling down?

What can you do to take yourself out of feeling down?

Life doesn't always come wrapped in tinsel but it is always a gift.

Both the Ups and the Downs of life have a lot to offer in teaching us how to become more humane Human Beings. In making mistakes we can learn how to do better, how to treat others with compassion but more importantly how to treat ourselves better.

When you feel low, allow yourself to experience it just enough to recognize it, so that you can choose in the moment to change the experience.

Here are a few ideas that might work for you

1) reach out and do something for somebody else. It could be as simple as making a phone call.

2) Get active - do something physical, an activity you enjoy that uses your whole body and takes you out of your heads space

3) Get a journal and write, be your own therapist. You never know what your words could turn into, perhaps re-written into a song, a play, a novel, a movie or just an account of where you were emotionally at the time and a tool to help you reflect on where you are in life and where you would like to go next.

These are simple tools that could help to change your reality in the moment that you need it most. Before I forget here's a link to Afrikaba Radio, showcasing African music from around the globe.. Enjoy!

Are you willing to take a chance on you?

How often have you allowed other people's point of view to sway you from taking a chance on your creative ideas? There's a great temptation to blame them for your lack of success but I encourage you to resist that temptation, choose instead to take a chance on yourself. What kind of difference would that make to your life? What choice can you make today, to reclaim you?

Are you using your past as a roadmap to the future?

Are you using your past as a roadmap to the future?

If you look to your past for information about your future, what will you create? You will create the same type of life. If you use your past as a justifucation for your remaining inthe life you have,, what can you anticipate for your future? Focus your attention on the day in hand and allow yourself to become aware of the thoughts that dominate your mind. Although it may not feel comfortable at first to let yourself hear the negative chatter, it is only by becoming aware that you can choose something different and not allow them to control and dominate your life. What else is possible?

When is your inauguration?

When is your inauguration?

I watched the US inauguration yesterday that make Joe Biden Jnr the 46th president of the United States of America. I often say to friends that true democracy does not exist. Listening to the speeches help me put that thought into perspective. What I gained from the speeches was the idea that this is not a perfect democracy but that we are working towards it. This is a wonderful philosophy to consider in our own lives. Perfection is an idea. What matters is the journey and it is so important to make a start, no mattter where that starting point may be. So, forget perfection, why not make a start creating your life as you would like it to be? Why not start that business and see where it takes you? Why not be the parent you would like to be, even if you get it wrong sometimes.

Stop waiting, start creating

Are you in waiting mode? What are you waiting in anticipation of? Take a look at a calendar that shows the entire year. What would you like to create with your year? Once you start marking off dates you'll notice that the year is at an end before you've even started. If you are a creative Being, which you are, you cannot afford to wait for things to change. Your action is required. So, what are your intentions for this year? How would you like 2021 to end? What steps can you take to get you closer to that?
