Master Your Life

There’s no doubt that we are facing extremely challenging times. The way we communicate with one another has changed, the way we socialize has changed, the way we teach has changed, and everything that was normal now seems like a thing of the past. 

In this podcast episode, I shared a simple question that will help you navigate any challenging situation by providing you with clarity and new choices, to ensure that you honor your physical, mental, and emotional health, while facing any challenging situation in your personal life. 

Grasping this one concept can completely change the way you deal with difficult times resulting in more positive outcomes that lead to calmer and peaceful resolutions. This simple question can be used to ensure you get exactly what you need and want in work-related problems, relationship problems, and family dysfunction.

In this podcast episode, I shared the advice I gave with a client who suffered physical and emotional abuse from her mother all her life, and taught her how to set boundaries, how to deal with her mother moving forward, all while looking after herself.  If you've ever had a relationship with someone toxic or abusive, this will deeply resonate with you as the ideas I share are universal and can apply to a difficult relationship with a parent, a spouse, a child, a boss or a friend.

Main takeaways:

1) No matter what situation you're in, look after you!  You must do whatever it takes to take care of your physical, emotional, and mental well-being, especially when in an emotionally-charged challenge in your life.  You're of no value to anyone if you're running on empty and have nothing left to give.

2)  Setting boundaries with toxic people and relatives is a lifelong practice that must be done if you truly want to master your life and have peace.  If you're not used to it, setting boundaries feels super icky and uncomfortable, but the pay-off is HUGE!!  Learn how to do this in the episode.

3)  Do everything with a pure intention.  Don't do or say anything out of obligation or ego to appease someone else, but do it because you truly want to, and it's in your heart to do so.  Living your life with integrity, honesty and self-respect always has a positive outcome.

All personal development work takes WORK!  So take the time to listen to the episode and take at least one action towards leveling up your life so you can be one step closer to Life Mastery.  After all, my motto in life is; Knowledge with out action equals, nothing!  So take action my friend.

In this week’s podcast episode, I talked about how the story we tell ourselves impacts the quality of our lives and our relationships. This is especially true when we’re faced with difficult situations, and our minds start racing and our thoughts are based in fear, worry and lack.   We've all been in a hard situation where emotions were high and our thoughts are out of control and we jump on the freight train going 100 miles per hour, and there's no stopping us.  This only causes us major anxiety and pain, and left unresolved can impact us and others for years.

If you want to elevate the quality of your life and your relationships, you need to start analyzing and questioning the story you’re telling yourself, and have conversations with the people in your life that challenge you the most. I shared two strategies to analyze and change the story you’re telling yourself, one is done with the person you're struggling with, and the other is a self-discovery journey.

 2020 turned our routines upside down and left us wondering when will life ever return to normal.   Having a daily routine is really helpful in creating harmony as well as results every day. 

By creating your own daily routine which is in alignment with your core values, you set yourself up for daily success despite the external circumstances and challenges that life is presenting us with.  You get to decide how your days turn out.  You are no longer influenced or affected by anything outside of your control.

I highly recommend you do the exercise presented in the podcast with your spouse and children, as it is guaranteed to increase the quality of your daily life and your lifestyle.

Taking time for self-care is so important right now.  We have been locked down, isolated and quarantined from our friends, family and colleagues and it has been hard.  That is why I created this podcast episode today.  These 4 ideas will bring you peace and calm during any periods of overwhelm or angst.  You can apply 1 or all 4, but at the very least, apply one strategy to begin with, and then move on to another.

This new virtual world in which we are all living in has required us to adapt and change the way we do things, the way we interact and stay connected with  others, and how we work.  Our careers and professional goals have been directly impacted as well, and learning how to maximize your experience, talents and professional presence online, will skyrocket your career in 2020 and beyond.

There's no getting around it, having a professional online presence in 2020 is crucial if you are:

1) Looking for employment

2) Wanting to make a career change, or

3) Looking for career advancement.

The ideal platform to skyrocket your career is LinkedIn, and today's podcast episode is Part 2 (you should listen to Part 1 first) of this conversation, where I teach you how to create an effective, professional, and noticeable LinkedIn profile so you can easily be found and hired by employers, non-profits, internships hosts and more.

Listen to both episodes in sequence and then IMPLEMENT the strategies I share.  Your results will only come from taking intentional action.

Did you know that...

People are getting hired right now.  

People are getting promoted.  

People are making career changes, all amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.

And, it's all happening on LinkedIn.  This is the first of a 2-part podcast series on how to skyrocket your career in a virtual world using LinkedIn.

This episode is for those who:

1) Do not have a LinkedIn profile

2) Have a LinkedIn profile that is incomplete or out-of-date

3) Have a completed LinkedIn profile but have not maximized the full potential of the platform.

In 2020, LinkedIn had over 575 million members, 90% of employers use LinkedIn to find potential employees, and 44% of LinkedIn users make over $75,000/yr.  This is undoubtedly a powerful platform that must be capitalized on for all professionals, regardless of their current employment status.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, confused, worried and overall just not feeling yourself these days, then this podcast episode will help move you into action.

It seems somewhat contradictory but the best thing to get you out of feeling overwhelmed is being in action, but usually when we feel overwhelmed, the last thing we feel like, is being in action.

So today I am going to share with you 3 questions that you need to ask yourself to quickly get out of overwhelm, into clarity and into intentional action.  These questions will help you no matter what your situation may be.

Taking the time to honestly answer these 3 questions for yourself will focus your mind, uncover your top priorities, and give you a roadmap to get you back on track. Feel more alive and alert, you will have a sense of purpose, and goals to strive towards and most importantly, you will be clear on what you want, and what you need to do to get it.

RESOURCES:

It is so easy to blame others, the economy, organizations, and the world for all of our problems, but that is not an empowered way to live and go through life.   

Adopting the idea that everything is happening for you, and not to you, will bring you so much peace and release you from the burdens of life, and give you the strength and fortitude to keep moving forward to take the right action to propel your life towards better days.

No matter the situation, if you choose to work on developing a strong, grounded, grateful mindset, you will go through life counting your blessings and seeing the good in every situation, rather than looking for someone to blame, and festering in anger and remorse towards people, organizations and circumstances.

To master your life, means to master your mind first. Because every thought, every reaction and every behavior begins in your mind, and your perspective, and the lens you choose to see life through will determine your level of peace, happiness and success in your life.

Listen to the full episode to hear examples of how to apply this concept and see actual results in your own life.
