Every morning, I spend about 45 minutes doing mindset work and as I was doing the journaling portion of my work this morning, I found myself writing statements that started with I CHOOSE.

Things like…

I CHOOSE happiness, abundance, and love.
I CHOOSE to believe in the greater good of all.
I CHOOSE to believe that my life is limitless.
I CHOOSE peace, love, and abundance in all areas of my life.

And it struck me that MOST of us don’t believe we truly have a choice in life.

With the recent political circumstances, decisions, and governing bodies around the world, there are SO many people feeling powerless and lost in the shuffle.

They are letting FEAR lead the way as they wonder what will come of their future.

HOW will they live?
WHAT’s going to happen next?
WHAT’s the purpose of all of this?

And yet, they forget, overlook, or simply tune out of the idea that they have a CHOICE in this moment and every moment forward.

WE ALL DO.

Listen, I know that the world looks like it’s going to hell in a hand basket and we are losing hope with every violent act, shitty political candidate, and governmental decision, but even in all the chaos, perceived instability, and the shit-storm that is happening around us…WE HAVE A CHOICE.

 

Every time you THINK a thought, watch the news, engage in a conversation or turn your focus to FEAR—> you’ve made a choice.

BUT you also have a choice to turn your thoughts to love, to focus on what is going right and in the least focus on what it is you WANT to experience in the world around you and believe it or not THAT is where your ‪power‬ lies.

YOU decide what you want to believe and therefore attract into your experience.

YOU decide where you focus your attention and therefore what you experience in your day-to-day life.

YOU get to DECIDE…today and everyday and that is so much more powerful than anything the government can do for you.

 

It’s time to take back your power and DECIDE what YOU will experience and there for attract into your life.

I guarantee it’s worth a bit of a mindset shift.

Turn your thoughts to love, forgiveness, abundance, joy, peace, support, compassion, community, happiness, prosperity, and all the things you actually WANT to attract into your life.

For THAT is where you have the power even in the grimmest of circumstances.

CHOOSE where you will focus your energy and love.

CHOOSE what you will do to shape the world and make a difference.

But most of all CHOOSE what you want for YOUR life for it will create ripples across the world for years to come.

There is no more time to waste…we all must do our part to focus our minds in the right place to create change and if you aren’t sure how to shift your mindset or how to more fully step into your power, I invite you to schedule a free 30-Minute Consultation below.

2016: Your Year to Get Actionable!

by

Like many people, you probably said that 2016 was going to be YOUR year and that it would be the year that everything changes, right?

I believe you.  I know that to be true for you and so many other people, but only if you do this one very important thing.

You must get actionable.  In the video below I share what that means and how you can ensure your year not only starts off strong, but finishes strong too!

 

So, what are you waiting for friends?  Get started!

I just turned 2 and Things I Learned Along the Way

by

heart

August 1, 2013 I did something I never imagined I’d do.

I started a business.

Not only did I surpass the 1 year mark when most business die a quick, painful death, but I have just hit the 2 year mark and I’m pretty freakin’ proud of myself.

Not because of the money I’ve made, but because I’ve stuck with it and have met, coached, and supported so many amazing souls.  Thinking back on it , I’ve learned some pretty amazing lessons that I want to pass along to you.

  • You can do more than you think you can. As if the fact that my business is still alive isn’t enough proof, I’ve done way more than I ever thought I could.  I’ve run marketing campaigns, group coaching programs, webinars, and coached countless women as I worked to get my message out into the world.  If you would’ve told me 10 years ago that this is what I’d be doing…I’d probably laugh in your face.  Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, know that you can do more than you think.

 

  • Your intuition is an amazing gift…use it! There have been LOTS of moments when I thought other people knew better than me when it came to what I should do next, except they didn’t.  We all have an inner GPS that is more powerful, more aware, and better equipped to support us in figuring out the next step than anyone else, we just have to learn to listen to it.  This is a muscle I am still working, but I can tell you I am far more tuned in now than I ever was before I started this journey.  Listen to your heart, it will never steer you wrong.

 

  • You don’t need to know the ‘how’. As a recovering control freak here, I sometimes forget this detail and I usually regret it.  As much as the world tells us we need a plan, an outline or a blueprint for our success, the truth is you really don’t.  If you follow your heart and act on the inspiration it provides, that will be enough.  The only thing having a blueprint does is make you feel more secure while also cutting you off from the amazing opportunities that are out there for you.  The Universe has far more resources available than we do…so why would you cut yourself off from that?  Follow the next step and trust that you’ll always figure out what is next because you will.

 

  • Just keep swimming.   In moments when I’ve wanted to give up (and there have been plenty), I had friends tell me to “just keep swimming” and as much as I didn’t want to hear it, I knew they were right.  Had I quit when I wasn’t booking any new clients for 4 months or when I had lost all confidence in my ability to actually run a successful business, I’d never have made it to the point I am now.  Now I know that I not only can make it, but I AM…every single day. Whatever your dream is or what your end vision may be…just keep swimming.  Trust your vision and purpose and let it guide you, but never give up…unless of course you no longer feel the passion for what you are doing.

I am in awe of how far I’ve come from the time this was only a dream.  In fact, this week I recorded this video reflecting on what prompted me to take the leap in the first place.

Listen, I know that whatever your BIG LEAP is, it feels scary right now.  That business, new career, or stepping into your true purpose feels bigger than life right now.  The steps to get there feel overwhelming and you aren’t quite sure how to make it all come together. You might even feel a little stuck…

You are not alone and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.  The truth is you have the power to create ANY life you desire.  I want to help you make your dream life a reality.  Not tomorrow, next week, or next year when you feel more prepared.

I want to help you NOW.

If you are feeling the call of your soul to take the leap now…let’s chat.  I’ve got something special for you and I only have room for 4 people so if you are ready to dive in and make your dreams come true finally…hit the button below and let’s schedule a free chat.

What finding your purpose really means.

Everyone wants a life they love with money, abundance, joy, peace, and passion for what they do right?

Sure! Who wouldn’t want that?

BUT-there are far too many women settling for ‘good enough’ because they aren’t sure how to get to that passionate place and while I work with many women on finding what lights them up and sets their soul on fire…my work is really about helping you tap into your purpose.

What finding your purpose really means is finding the thing that you are meant to do right here, right now.

It doesn’t necessarily mean it will be forever, but it will be something that lights you up and something you do that brings you joy.

And guess what…finding your purpose doesn’t necessarily mean making it your career…that part is entirely up to you.

If you are struggling to figure out your purpose here are a few tips to get you thinking in the right direction:

  • What do you feel called to do?  I’m sure you may be feeling the call to do something specific.  Maybe it’s to spend more time traveling, to do more writing, start a blog, or go volunteer at a local shelter.  What is it that is calling to you right now?  (Hint: The first thing that popped into your mind is IT…write it down.)
  • What do you LOVE to do? What kinds of things do you love to do?  What do you do because it simply brings you joy? What would you do for FREE? Think about it, make a list, and write it down.
  • What do you do with ease already? Think about the things people come to you for help with.  What is it that you do without thinking? What are you good at? What comes naturally to you? (Hint: If you aren’t sure, ask the people who know you best.)
  • What experiences of especially molded your life?  Think about your past and the BIG moments that really shifted things for you.  What did you need in those moments?  What were you looking for at the time?  What kinds of things did you need that you didn’t realize you needed until you got it?  Think about it and see what themes appear.

Once you have all that information together I want you to see if there are any common themes.  What pops up over and over again?  You may very well be thinking…”Why didn’t I think of that???”, because finding your purpose isn’t about locating it outside of yourself…it’s about recognizing what is already there.

And I want you to know that your purpose can change and evolve as much as you do, so don’t get stuck in thinking what you do now is what you will always do.  The beauty of life is that we have an amazing gift of choice and free will.  Use that freedom and enjoy the process because that is what it’s all about.

I want to hear from you.  What is your purpose?  Share in the comments below.

My Biggest Fear…

If you are on my VIP list you know I’ve been thinking about fear and how it’s a f–king liar.

It’s true.  And even though I know this to be true, I have still struggled with fear myself in many ways.

The fear of being seen in my business was a big one for a long time that kept me playing small.

But, my biggest fear of them all has been…lack of control.

You see, for as long as I can remember, I’ve always tried to be 2-4 steps ahead of my current circumstances.  Trying to make sure all things go as planned and that I don’t end up blindsided by some crazy disappointment in life, I would work out all the outcomes in my mind and figure out how to avoid the bad ones.

Simply put I worried…a lot!

I developed general anxiety because I was always trying to stay ahead of the moment.  If I was making a decision about what to do, I would try to predict the outcome so I could strategize how to cope with it in advance.  Needless to say I wasn’t mindful or present in any moment.  I was always worrying about the future.

When it came to goal setting and setting intentions, I would torture myself!  I needed to know how it was going to work out and while I had some positive focus that it would, if I didn’t see the way, then I wasn’t convinced.

I had zero faith.

It’s taken a long time for me to get over that general anxiety and to stop worrying so much, but there are times when I can feel myself slipping back into needing to know how things are going to work out as opposed to just trusting they will.

The truth is, if we expect a specific outcome and we are open to how the outcome is manifested, there is nothing to worry about.  The perceived control I have over seemingly everything in my life is a bit misunderstood.

The only things we control are our thoughts & actions which in turn create our reality.

So, if being a control freak in how your dreams come true is something you struggle with, take a step back.  Take a deep breath and grab a pen and notebook.

I want you to write down all the ways your dream (or another situation) could manifest perfectly.  I’m not saying these are all things you might believe at the moment, but write down all the ways it could happen.  Get creative and remember that the Universe has every resource available to use and we only know a very small portion of that.  To expect that our way is the only way is a bit misguided and is the best way to lead to frustration and it may even cause a delay in manifesting what we want in our lives.

Be open to more than just the way you think is ‘realistic’ or ‘probable’.  The Universe doesn’t work with reality…it works with magic & miracles and I assure you as soon as you open your mind to ‘how’ it can happen and let go of the outcome a bit, more magic and miracles will find you.  It’s just how it works.

If you are still struggling with manifesting your deepest desires and want to learn about how to make that happen with ease, grace, and more flow, I encourage you to check out my 7 Secrets to Manifest the Life of Your Dreams.  In this free video series, I share with you my biggest secrets to manifesting.  Secrets I’ve learned after many years of trying to be realistic and logical.

Add subtitle text(3)Magical Manifesting is a wonderful way to create the life you have always wanted…not just in cash and things that you can buy, but in experiences, time, and freedom.  Manifesting the beautiful experiences and feelings you’ve always desired and inspiring others to do the same is why I do this work.
