My word is FREEDOM…What’s yours? (Plus a free invitation for YOU.)

It feels like forever since my last post and that’s because I’ve been on vacation and piecing together my next steps.  The good news is I am back and I have a lot of GREAT things up my sleeve for you.  But, before I share all of that with you (soon I promise), I want to share some of my most recent realizations.

All this traveling I’ve been able to do this year so far, I realized I have had a theme bubbling up my entire life and it is exactly the kind of life I want to create.

That theme is FREEDOM.

Many (many) moons ago, I wouldn’t have known what it was because I was dealing with so much turmoil and strife, but today I can honestly look at my life as a whole and say what I truly desire is freedom in ALL forms.

I want to experience freedom in love (thank you SCOTUS for making that possible in all 50 states in the US finally).

I want to experience freedom in my finances (thank you Denise Duffield-Thomas for helping me clear my blocks to be open to more abundance.)

I want to experience freedom in my time and how I choose to spend my time on a daily basis (thanks boss-aka me!).

And I am finally embracing the fact that I want to experience freedom in what I create and share with YOU.

You see over the years, I’ve tried to make all of my desires fit nicely into little square boxes even though the contents were hanging out in odd (and fun) shapes and sizes.  I realized this weekend that the only thing clean, tidy, square boxes are good for are moving- you know when you have to pack a moving truck and feel like you are playing Tetris to make everything fit.

I don’t fit into one clean and tidy box and I bet you don’t either. 

I’m a bit messy and oddly-shaped at times, but it’s what makes me unique.  What I desire today may change form in a few months, but that’s the true beauty of evolution and growth isn’t it?

Your desires, wishes, and dreams are as diverse as your experiences in this life and I want you to know it’s OKAY to have all those (sometimes conflicting) desires because in the end it’s all a part of YOU.

You will at times drop the things that are no longer serving you.  You will de-clutter your dreams, desires, and wishes and peel back the layers to reveal what is really important to you right here and right now.  And despite what gets left on the editing room floor, life will feel amazing for you because in the end YOU get to choose what stays and what goes.

My biggest realization over the last 2 weeks is the freedom that I not only desire and am now totally embracing, but also the freedom I help my clients attain.

And let’s be clear, freedom means something different to everyone.  For me it might be about time and money and for someone else it might be entirely about their career.  But, what I want YOU (and every other woman walking this planet) to know is that YOU have the FREEDOM to choose the life you live.  You have the FREEDOM to break free from whatever has you stuck and to choose differently.  But most of all you have the FREEDOM to decide the kind of life you live and experience while you are in this blessed body of yours.

And I want to help you get to that FREEDOM, whatever it means to you because I know that you have an amazing life to live and it’s time to make your dreams come alive starting NOW.

The Facebook Tribe I created a few months ago is under construction and with it comes a new name (TBA) and lots of awesome tools, tips, and challenges to help empower YOU to live that amazing life you want…right now.  And instead of waiting for all the new pieces to be in place, I’m inviting you to join us today, before everything is perfect and the new name is revealed.

In this group you will get access to free information, special offers, free coaching threads, inspiration, and lots of additional life-changing information that will empower you in truly beautiful ways.  This is phase 1 of the amazing new things to come, so hop on over and be one of the first people to know about what else is coming down the pipe.

Joining is simple just click here and request entry into the group.

P.S. I have a super fun and life-changing challenge coming up soon for people in the group only so make sure you join!

What really changes your life isn’t Motivation, it’s Inspiration

I used to think that I needed the motivation to do things-you know things like working out and eating better.

I’d look to my super-fit friends and think “Gosh if only I was motivated to do those things…”

Turns out it’s not about motivation at all…it’s ALL about inspiration.

Here’s why…

When we are motivated to do something, it’s likely from some external source.  We follow in someone else’s footsteps because we see the results they are getting and we want the same for ourselves.

Seems logical, but the problem with motivation is that it doesn’t last.  The fire we initially feel may last a few days, but then slowly our energy wains and we are back where we started.

Now inspiration is something entirely different.

Inspiration in my experience has always been that quiet voice or nudge I feel inside that says “Oh yeah that’s a great idea.”  It may not have as much fuel and fire as motivation does initially, but it lasts much longer.

Not only that, it also is typically connected with other inspirational thoughts and nudges that keep you going.

Imagine for a second you are an author writing a book.  Do you look for the motivation to write the book or do you have the inspired thoughts come through that cause you to begin writing?  Chances are it’s the inspiration that sends you back to the page.

The same thing works with how we create a life we love.  It’s not about being motivated to get stuff done or to move forward on our path.  It’s the sometimes whispers of inspiration that lead us to take action.

Does motivation work?  Yes to get you started, but if you are forcing yourself to keep going then it likely won’t last long.  And it will be a long, hard road to get to where you going and nobody wants that.

Inspiration on the other hand feels natural, much easier, and it flows.  At times when I am following my inspiration, it just feels like a no-brainer thing to do.  No stress, worry, or struggle.  Just EASE.

Now, doesn’t that sound better than working, pushing, and forcing things after your motivation wears off?

For some it sounds too good to be true, but I guarantee that inspiration works and it’s the best way to make your dreams come true.

It’s what I teach all of my clients and what I’d love to teach you.

So, tell me what is it that you feel inspired to do right now?  Share in the comments below.  And if you are interested in learning more about this easy, fun, freeing, and flowing way of doing things, schedule a FREE 30-Minute Consultation now and let’s chat!

You don’t know, what you don’t know…

A few years ago when I was still working in the corporate world, I had a boss that used to say “They don’t know, what they don’t know and it is our job to teach them”.

At the time it didn’t really make sense and since I didn’t care much for this particular boss and how she ran the company, I just let it go.

But, just the other day I was chatting with my wife and that quote came to mind and it totally resonated.

It was like a light switch had turned on and I finally understood what she meant and it 100% applies to what I do in my work every single day.

Truth be told, I’m more than a coach.  I am much more of a teacher and the coaching work I do helps to bring to light the things that my amazing clients can’t quite see.

I help them tune into the things they can’t tune into.

I help them break through the mental blocks they didn’t know they had.

And then I TEACH them how to do all of that themselves (using tools like the ones I teach in the Grow, Evolve, Become program) because my work is all about EMPOWERMENT.

Now, does this mean I can help everyone in the world? No.

And even if it did mean that, it’s really not my purpose.

The women who are destined to work with me are already undergoing a transformation.  They know that there is something out there that they don’t quite know and subconsciously they are seeking a way to find the answer.  They may not even know it until it pops up in their newsfeed or they stumble upon one of my articles.

In fact this very thing happened for one of my recent clients:

“There is an expression that “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”  How grateful am I that Lamisha was that teacher and the Universe literally put her in my path, because that is what happened: Lamisha appeared in my Facebook feed and, through conversation, we found each other.” ~ V.F.

 

That is the true magic of this work.  When you are ready for change (and you are open), the person, group, network, or resource you need just pops up seemingly from out of nowhere and when you follow your inspired action-magic happens.

So what kinds of things don’t people know?

Some people:

  • Don’t know that THEY are the creators of their own reality and have the ability to create a life they LOVE.
  • Aren’t aware of how important how they FEEL is to creating that amazing life
  • Don’t know about the Law of Attraction
  • Aren’t clear on the ways they are blocking what they desire from coming into their lives
  • Don’t know that it can be EASY
  • Just don’t know HOW to make it all happen

Do any of those things resonate for you?

Today, I want you to ask yourself a few questions:

  • What do I LOVE about my life?
  • What do I ACHE for in my future?
  • What don’t I know that might change my life and future forever?
  • What do I need to DO right now to move me forward?

It may be hard to figure out what it is you don’t know right now because, well you don’t know it, but you might just get an answer that surprises you.  Be open to what may come up and LISTEN.

And if you are feeling the pull to reach out for help, why not schedule a Free 30-Minute Connection Call?  I’d love to chat with you and learn a bit more about you and help in any way I can.

You’re stuck, but are you LISTENING?

Over the years I have been known for being so busy thinking, analyzing, planning, strategizing, and making things happen that I can’t actually hear what I need to do.

I get caught up in the action and doing of life instead of being.

I have often forgotten about the wealth of knowledge and information I have within if only I would listen.

It makes sense that as humans, we often try so hard to make things happen that we also end up making things much more difficult than we need to.

We miss the signs and signals about when it’s time to act and when it’s time to lean back.  We miss the messages that are around us all the time.

I talk a lot about inspired action and how important it is in creating a life you love and I get a lot of questions about what inspired action really is.

Simply put, it’s listening and responding.

Hearing the message and acting on it.

Feeling the inspiration to act and not questioning it…just doing it because it feels right.

And often times that feeling isn’t the most logical thing in the world.  In fact, at times it can seem downright insane, but every time I’ve acted on my inspired thoughts, it’s always worked out. Always.

So, if you feel STUCK and are wondering what the next step is for you, it may be that you just aren’t listening to the messages that are coming through.

Here are a few ways that I’ve found messages to show up for me:

  • Seemingly random thoughts in the shower (the shower is where I often come up with many program ideas or article titles)
  • Billboards with messages that resonate with me strongly
  • Song lyrics or quotes that feel especially powerful
  • Thoughts that float in with ease and feel simple and easy
  • Ideas that come quickly and just click
  • Inspiration that comes through when I am journaling or working with a client
  • Messages for others that I get while I am coaching that are also messages for myself

And sometimes I even get that earth-shattering lightning bolt of a thought that sends me running to find paper and a pen to get it all down before I forget it.  But, most of the time the inspiration flows in and out with ease.  It’s not pushed, pulled, or forced.  It’s just easy.

So, today as you think about a particular area of your life where you may feel stuck, I want you to think about the messages you may not be hearing.  What are you missing?  What feels almost too easy for you? Go do that.

Even if it doesn’t turn out to be THE thing that gets you unstuck in the moment, it will most definitely lead you down the path that will.
