No matter what you are doing or how great things are, life happens and during those moments of chaos when we sometimes feel the need to fight the current and get back to the balance we are used to, it’s usually best to just flow with it.
I thought I would share a bit about my current chaos and how I am handling it. 🙂

What is Dreamwork? Dreamwork is the art of lucid dreaming and working with your dreams, for both practical and spiritual guidance. Dreams are like having a map in another language, you already have the advice you need, you just have to remember how to read your map! Dreamwork Sessions typically include going over the dream, interpreting it, and discovering an action for the dream to express it and bring it into the waking world, which results in powerful self-transformation and healing. Sessions also include distance energy healing using the crystal reiki modality to aid in supporting the lucid dreaming process. You can find out more about Karma and the amazing work she does by checking out her website or following her on Facebook & Twitter.

When we are growing into our dreams and taking action in the world to create the life of our dreams, there are times (sometimes many) when we come up against the dreaded green-eyed monster. We see all these amazing people doing what we want to do and doing it WELL.
Some of us get discouraged and begin to feel ‘less-than’ that other person that is doing it better, faster, and more beautifully than us. Others feel like giving up because they convince themselves that they won’t ever measure up.
Well I have a re-frame that will turn that green-eyed monster into a joyous, happy, and celebratory friend.
Check out the video below to find out how you can use this re-frame the next time you feel a bit of envy, jealousy, or ‘less-than’ someone else.

Just recently I decided to jump-start my fitness routine again in an attempt to get healthy and create a bit of structure for my workday. I have to say it’s been pretty great…for the most part.
Growing up I was fairly active. I danced from 8th grade through high school and into college so I never really had to worry about getting to the gym and making time to work out. It just happened. I took dance classes and loved it so it hardly ever felt like ‘work’. Just a couple of hours a week doing something I love.
This time is a bit different.
I get up every morning and do the ‘work’. Despite how much it burns in my abs or in my quads, I know that I will feel better having done it. I just have to get through the 30 minutes. The work out I am doing is a Beachbody program and it uses 1 minute increments for each exercise and I can’t tell you how many times I have looked at the time left and wished I hadn’t. Just when I think I am close to being finished, I look up only to realize I am only half way there. For some reason it makes the second half of the minute seem so much longer!
Well last week I decided to try something a little different. I decided that instead of looking at the clock or counting the number of squats or 
crunches I am able to complete, I would just focus on a spot on the wall in front of me through the entire minute. Funny enough, it seemed like the minute passed by so much faster AND it didn’t feel so hard.
This is a perfect example of how holding your vision while not ‘keeping score’ can help your mindset.
I will be the first to admit that when it comes to my goals or intentions, I am a score-taker. I like to monitor where I am and how far I am from my goal and while that doesn’t seem like a bad thing, I find it to be discouraging at times. It can often make it feel like I’m just never going to make it...there.
It’s like saying I want to go to California and all along the way being discouraged that I’m not there yet. Or wanting to work with 100 clients in 2014 (a true goal of mine for this year) and feeling discouraged when I count I have only worked with 40.
It is ALL about mindset.
If you instead celebrate the progression from where you started to where you want to be AND keep your focus on your vision, something magical happens. Things feel better, run more smoothly, and you get there much faster.
The same works for whether you are working out, wanting to lose weight, or make a certain dollar figure during the year.
3 Key Steps:
As long as you are consistently taking inspired action and keeping your mindset positive, you will get there. It just takes a bit of patience, focus, and sometimes accountability. And if you are finding yourself struggling with getting started or need help to keep going, think about getting yourself a coach. I have opened 5 individual spots for the month of August for my 1-Month Jump Start program and while I had previously decided not to run this program again until November, I changed my mind because I know how much can happen in 1 month. I would love to help support you as you envision and create the life & business of your dreams so if this is something you are interested in you can schedule your 30-min. consultation here. We have 5 months left in 2014 what haven’t you started that you wanted to do this year? It’s not too late to get started, I promise working with me for 1 month can make all the difference in you creating the life of your dreams. Are you ready?
As you know last week I made some pretty bold declarations about not having a Plan B. Well, as I am quickly finding, when you make big, bold declarations to the Universe, there can be a bit of an aftermath effect that comes. It’s a recent theme I am seeing not only with myself, but with my clients as well. Click the link below to find out what I am talking about and let me know, have you experienced something similar? If so, how did you handle it?
P.S.
If you made a recent declaration to get your business into brilliant shape in a heart-centered way, then I encourage you to check out the 90 Days to Biz Brilliance group coaching program. This is an opportunity to connect, share, and grow your business with other heart-centered women who know what it’s like to be where you are. There is also still time to get signed up for the bonus self-study program Invest in Yourself before it is available for purchase. Are you ready?
