Too Good To Be True?!

Too Good To Be True?!

We have been taught that if it sounds too good to be true, it must be. But what if it sounds really good and it can be true!?

Thinking Allowed

Thinking Allowed

Think about this life you have lived and how much history you have been a part of, that you created, that you witnessed!  And take the accumulation of your life experience and wisdom, and think today.  Thinking is allowed as you create a new day, which is new history.  You don't need permission to live your life, to experience, you have the wherewithal inside of you!

Now Is a Critical Time To Aspire and Discern

Now Is a Critical Time To Aspire and Discern

Regardless of the current situation, we are gifted time.  This is a rare gift in our busy society!  And because it is rare, we don't know what to do with it.  First of all, do no squander it!  Secondly, create a list of what you are inspired to do so that you can become what you aspire to be.  Thirdly, discern what you hear so that you are not brought down by the negativity so that you can see what positive aspects and impacts you can have!  And you have the time to make things happen!!  Go for it!

Mind, Body and Spirit

Mind, Body and Spirit

As you care for your physical well-being, be mindful to care for your mental well-being and your spiritual well-being.  We are not only physical beings, but we are mind, body and spirit.  Do not neglect the other 2 because of increased concern for your physical health.

When all aspects are healthy, then everything feels better.

Reflection

Reflection

Reflection only helps you see how far you have come in experiences, in learning, in unfolding you!  With all of that wisdom, look forward, see where you are going!  Remove the obstacles and carry on!

Re-evaluate!

Re-evaluate!

Anytime we set a goal or a plan in motion, it is always wise to re-evaluate often.  Are you on track?  What adjustments need to be made?  Is your mindset golden?

Re-evaluating and adjusting does not necessarily mean lowering goals and settling for less!  There is as much up opportunity to increase the plan and the activity if you are ahead of the plan.  But until you take time to look at where you are in relation to where you want to be, you won't know what to adjust.

Then find the balance/counterbalance and stay in motion on the flight of your life!

Take time to get it right the first time, and that means that you have to take some time to stop and see!!

Untethered!

Untethered!

If there is something holding you back from soaring, you are tethered to the place you are in now!  If that's not what you want, then let go of what is tethering you to what you no longer want!

Reminds me of how elephants are trained.  These massive animals are trained to stay in place simply by being tethered with a rope and a stake in the ground.  When an elephant can just yank his leg and pull out the stake and run free, it has been trained to stay tethered.  What are you tethered too?  

What do you need to do to be great?  What has to happen in 2020 to be great?!  Can you let go of what has you tethered inside of your comfort zone?

The Gift of No Expectations

The Gift of No Expectations

The holidays remind me of times where we can take a break, a pause, in all the expectations.  Unplug, don't check emails, and remove yourself from what you have to do so you can do what you want to do in a feeling of freedom!!

Belly Laughing

Belly Laughing

Belly laughing is good for the soul!  How well we are able to cut loose and just laugh down to our toes is a pretty important as it helps us see the lighter side of life!  When was the last time you had a good belly laugh?!  What would it be like if you could heartily laugh at least once a day!?  Just imagine the happiness!  And when you can get others to laugh too, what a gift!

So enjoy, be lighthearted and laugh down to your toes! Laugh so hard you cry tears of Joy!

Kindness

Kindness

It doesn't take a lot of energy to be kind, but it sure takes a lot of energy to deal with un-kindness.  How to deal with being treated unkindly is a process and a practice as we work at moving through the pain of someone being unkind to you.  How to get as objective as possible as fast as possible to relieve the pain is a gift we give to ourselves when it hurts.

Being able to get to a point of understanding why the person did what they did as a result of what they are going helps us take it less personal.  When we don't take it personal, the pain hurts less.

Wishing you kindness and peace!

The Nudge!

The Nudge!

Have you ever wondered how many times you felt inspired to do something, but you chose not to pay attention to it but wished you did?!?  Those are what I call nudges, and when we pay attention to those nudges, they are typically spot on!  When we listen and pay attention to the nudges, inspired action usually follows!!

Set Your Mind To It!

Set Your Mind To It!

How can you achieve what you want to achieve, learn what you want to learn?  Set your mind to it.  There is evidence all around you when you reflect on what you didn't know at one point in your life, and realize that you do it today without even thinking!  How did you learn to drive, read, write, type, use social media.  Think about it!  How much have you learned in your lifetime!  Make a list and think about how powerful your mind is and how amazing you are for how far you have come!!  Then celebrate you!

Warning: Most Controversial Episode Yet!

Warning: Most Controversial Episode Yet!

How do you maneuver through life?    Do you believe what 'they' say or do you practice critical thinking and make decisions for yourself, based on who you are and where you are in your life today?

We were trained not to think, not to question.  So why would you start today?  Because it is time to be your own person, take your life back, think about what you blindly follow versus consciously choose.  It is a choice and only you can make that choice for you!

20/20 Foresight

20/20 Foresight

How do we lessen our fretting or our worry?!  Realize that neither really serve any great purpose and for the most part, what is worried about never comes to fruition.  As a matter of fact, when you have hindsight, it is 20/20.  So when we were in the middle of anything and looked back on it, in retrospect, we have the opportunity to see that it all worked out, that everything happened just as it was supposed to.

Why wait for hindsight to have perfect perspective when we can practice in the moment reminding ourselves that someday we will look back on 'this' and realize it for what it was, so why not have that perspective now!

Analogy:  Stop looking in the rear view mirror for clarity, but look through the windshield for 20/20 foresight.

No Labels Are Cause For A Parade!

No Labels Are Cause For A Parade!

When we drop labels we have been carrying, about ourselves and others, there is tremendous room for growth, compassion and revealing your super powers.  How do you break the mold?  How do you uniquely do you!

T.E.E.M

T.E.E.M

How to manage your TEEM = Time, Energy, Effort, Money?  How to stay excited and enjoy the journey?  Always infuse self-care and awareness of what you need.  Then allocate your time, energy and effort so that you do not deplete any of these resources!  While doing things that you are committed to do, but drain you, infuse it with something that juices you!  In that way, when you go to the well, there is something to draw from the well.  Therefore, allocate some TEE in a time block to do the projects you are responsible for getting done, then stop and go do something else where you allocate TEE doing what fills you up!  No one knows you better than you and if you acknowledge that you need a break to go fill up, then take the break so that when you get back to it, there is something that you can use to enjoy the journey more!

Let Your Light Shine!

Let Your Light Shine!

What lights you up?!  What ignites your inner motivation that causes you to get in the flow.  That flow is a beacon of light for you, and is a beacon that shows itself to others, who just might need a light in their darkness.  How will you use your flow, your light, to impact others?  You may not know the impact, but make no mistake, you are making a difference.  Let your light shine!  And you will give others permission to shine their light too!!

Sep 14, 201918:34
To Buy or Not To Buy?!

To Buy or Not To Buy?!

Human behavior is an interesting thing!  How to understand emotions is an interesting study, especially when we look at buying behaviors.  You see, when we decide we want something, we buy emotionally and justify logically.  Until the logic catches up with the emotion, we are somewhat torn.  Should we or shouldn't we buy, even though you know you really want it and will probably end up buying eventually!  And you will, when the emotion and logic meet in your mind!  Interesting huh!?

It would be nice if we can shorten that time, and not labor over the decision!  So find a way to let your emotions get the best of you.  Just do it!

It's The Weekend!!

It's The Weekend!!

It's the Weekend!  At least for a bunch of folks, that means something.  For others, they are still going to work and their days off are some other days!  When society says it's ok to not work on weekends, depending on your industry or position, that makes it so much easier to disconnect! Those who don't get Saturday and Sunday off, how are your days off protected when people might believe that you 'should' be working?  

Whenever your days off show up, enjoy, rejuvenate, relax and have fun!

How To Get To Do More!

How To Get To Do More!

There is a huge energy difference in 'have to' and 'get to'!  'Have to' carries the connotation that we are forced to do something.  'Get to' carries the opportunity to do something!

As adults when we make the decision to do whatever, then it is a 'get to' opportunity.  Even going to work, which is usually a have to, isn't a have to at all.  You see when a decision is made to take the job, then you get to do what accepting the job entails.  You get to work at a job so that you can enjoy what working at that job does for you or gets you.  Therefore, you get to go to work and fulfill what you said you would do!

Try it.  When you hear yourself say "I have to", stop and change up the words have to and use get to!  See if it makes a difference in your attitude and mindset!

Labor Day is a Celebration of YOU!!!

Labor Day was created to celebrate the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our country!  That means that it is a day for each and every one of us who made a contribution based on the work that we have done throughout our life.

Celebrate!  And celebrate every small step you take to achieve your goal, an accomplishment, and achievement!  Celebration offsets burnout and contributes to sustained motivation!

Celebrate everyone who came before you and paved the way for you to be able to do whatever it is that you do.  Tomorrow, we celebrate those trail blazers and opened up the way for us to do what we do!!  Thanks to  the pioneers!

Saying No Is All OK!

Saying No Is All OK!

Mastering the ability to say no is just as important as saying yes!  When saying no honors you and what is important to you, what you need, what you want, then no just might be the right answer!!  As long as we give ourselves permission to give the honest answer in that moment, then no could be the exact and only answer you should be giving!!  If it's a yes, then say yes and feel good about that too!!  And remember, when you say no to something you don't want, you will be saying yes to something you do want.

Attending To The Details

Attending To The Details

On a scale of 1-10, how high is your attention to detail?  Whether you are working on a project, or in your relationships at home and at work, attention to detail sets the stage for how you do anything.  And how current do you stay?  When you deliver information, how current and cutting edge is it?  And what details do you need to know so you can deliver attention to those details!  Be spot on!

Would You Rather Do It The Easy Way or The Hard Way?

Would You Rather Do It The Easy Way or The Hard Way?

If you could get the same results, would you rather do it the easy way or the hard way?  I believe we would choose the easy way, but yet sometimes we do it the hard way and don't even realize it!  And I think what makes it the harder path is that we assume from our perspective but not necessarily from the perspective of the person or the project we are working with or on.  So if we would ask clarifying questions, we could deliver the specific details the way it is truly wanted, not what we assume is wanted!  Food for thought!

The Unfolding

The Unfolding

It really is all about the unfolding!  And when we allow the flow of the unfolding then we remain in the highest state of creating and experiencing!  When we allow the natural flow of things, we enjoy the process better which causes the creative juices to flow better!!!  Target dates are important but deadlines are dead.  Who wants to be dead at the completion line.  No one!  So I will no longer set deadlines, but I will set target dates, and those can be slightly moved so that I am not in stress or overwhelm, but always enjoy the moment of the experience and the learning!  Enjoying the journey takes on a whole new meaning!

3 Gates: Eargate, Eyegate, Mouthgate

3 Gates: Eargate, Eyegate, Mouthgate

Grateful to the lesson I learned of the 3 gates!  It was at an event I attended and heard the main speaker use this termimology.  Then explained it by saying you guard (close the gate) when it comes to something you don't want to or need to hear.  Eyegate is to watch what you watch and see.  And mouthgate, be careful what you say because once you have said it out loud, you can't take it back.

So use the mouthgate principle and the actiongate principle that I just made up and go make a difference, cause a positive impact.  Take the chance that you can positively impact someone even if you won't even know that what you said or did, made a lasting impression.  How many impressions can we make!?  Have fun trying to win that contest!!

Change Doesn't Need To Be Uncomfortable or Permanent!

Change Doesn't Need To Be Uncomfortable or Permanent!

I had this aha on last flight and what transpired on that flight and what I learned because of it.  Listen in and see what I mean when I say there are a lot of feelings around change, some not so positive, some fear around it, and some that we are ok with!  But it is important to recognize when a change is made in the moment for the moment or as a life changing  endeavor.  Whenever, we give ourselves permission to notice how the events of our day unravel, we raise our level of awareness and then we will really notice the opportunities around us.  Then we get to determine what we do with what we notice, if we need to change a habit or practice for the moment or for the long haul.  The choice is always ours!  But without telling ourselves to notice, our awareness will not be piqued and we will not notice more!  So give yourself permission to be fully aware in the moment and then you will automatically notice opportunities for impact or change!  Have fun with it all!

Perception Affects Your Life

Perception Affects Your Life

This is my recorded from my perspective!  It is interesting how different perspectives cause us to see the same thing in different ways!  I experienced this yet again in gaining insight to my family history.  But the biggest lesson was understanding how perception truly affects the life we are creating!  What perceptions do you hold?  Which ones serve who you are today?  Which ones do you need to revisit and reevaluate?  How do you take your life back and form your own perception that serves you in your life and where you see your life going?  Free will to create the life you want!!  Go for it!

What Is Your Family History

What Is Your Family History

What is your family history?  Is it recorded?  Is there someone who remembers the most?  I think often of my Nana, my dad's mom, my grandmother, who lived to be 98!  How much history and memories she carried!  But I couldn't tap into it because she only spoke Italian and I didn't.  How I would love to be able to sit with her today and be the scribe who captures her stories of nearly a decade.  And don't neglect the fact that you are creating history right now!!  And it is noteworthy!  It might be the missing link someone needs to connect the dots!!

Wisdom Rocks!

Wisdom Rocks!

Maybe time flies because we are wise, and it takes less time for us to learn or accomplish things that prior to our wisdom may have taken us so much longer!  In our wisdom, how much do we know!!??  How much better can we show up?  How can we help others, actually go out of our way to help!? We never know the impact that we create and cause to happen.  Therefore, we should take every opportunity to make a difference!  Go make someone's day, make a lot of people's day, and I am sure your will be better for it as well!!

Opportunities Abound

Opportunities Abound

Opportunities are all around us!  How do we know which ones are the best ones for us!?  How do we pick and choose and have no regrets whether we did or did not do something!?  The opportunity has to be a match for the phase of our life that we are in.  If we stay true to the path we have chosen to be on, and if the opportunity fits into that plan, keeps us on that plan, and enhances that plan, then we will recognize the opportunity as being congruent with where we are in life!

Have a plan, get clear on the plan, be objective and make sure the opportunity is a match to the plan, then unleash the emotion and excitement and enjoy the journey in bliss.  Can it be that simple?!

How To Get What You Want

How To Get What You Want

We all want something, right!?  We just need to be clear on what we want.  Then go for it!  But we need to take small action steps on the way to achieving the goal, the dream! This episode gives you tremendous insight into the 'how to' of accomplishing anything.  When you understand how to do this once, you can repeat the process time and time again for ultimate success.  It's up to you to train your brain to work with you versus putting you in flight or fight.  Master this process and look out!!
