What message are you sending?

by

 

What risks are you willing to take to

You all know I am a BIG believer and teacher of the Law of Attraction and along with that comes the understanding that every thing we think and feel gets communicated as vibration.

We attract back to us what we send out and that is why our mindset, thoughts, feelings, self-talk etc. are SO important when we are manifesting the life of our dreams.

Garbage in=garbage out.

What you think about yourself and your life, you experience in your reality.

The concept is easy, but what happens when we start sending mixed signals to the Universe/God/Source (whatever you want to call it)?

You get mixed results.

You have to be super clear about what you want and make sure that your beliefs, thoughts, and experiences reflect those things.

I’ll give you an example.

Say you run a business and you have just raised your rates because you know you are worth more than what you currently charge.  You set your monthly goal higher and tell the Universe in very clear language…I am ready to charge what I am worth.

The Universe responds and sends you clients who are used to you charging your older rates.

You feel stuck and uncomfortable sharing the new rates so you give them your ‘old rate’ because…you need the money.

You’ve just sent a mixed message that could result in you getting only clients that are willing to pay your older rates or people that complain about your raised rates.

BUT…

What if you charged your new rates and that client couldn’t afford you?  I’ll tell you what happens.  You clearly define what you are worth and the Universe responds by sending you another client that is happy to pay your current (raised) rates.

Another example…

What if you want to manifest some additional money and are open to how it might flow to you.

But, when you are presented with some opportunities to make some extra cash doing what you love…you turn it down or decide to do it for free?

You might have a belief that it’s hard to make money or that when you do what you love you should only do it for free.

If so, you are sending mixed signals and pushing money away.

It’s not our job to determine HOW things will manifest…it is only our job to be clear about what we want and to take inspired action when the time is right.

If your manifestations are a bit mixed and aren’t exactly what you are looking for, it might be time for a check in.  What messages are you sending the Universe right now? Are they clear?

Action step: Take a look at all of your goals for the last month and the actions you have taken to get you to those goals.  Are your intentions and actions in alignment with each other?  If not, make some changes and ensure that you are sending crystal clear messages about what you desire.  When you do, your manifestations are not only faster, but are more of what you DO want and less of what you don’t.

We have 2 weeks left of February before my Breakthrough program pricing goes up.  If you have been thinking about coaching and are interested in what it can do for you, schedule your 30-Minute Consultation today.  March 1st things are changing for the better and I am announcing a new and exclusive VIP program that is limited to a select few people per year!

The When/Then Manifesting Pitfall

by

manifest

When you think of your happiness and what it takes for you to live a happy life, do you find that you mostly feel that way in the present?

Or, do you find yourself falling into what I call the When/Then Manifesting Pitfall.

We all know that when we want to create or manifest a specific thing (be it a career, money, a relationship etc.) it is because we think it will make us feel good.  We search for happiness and want certain things in our lives to feel fulfilled, worthy, and blissful.  But when we are in the process of creating or manifesting those things, we often find ourselves feeling antsy, uncomfortable, and impatient.

We might look around asking “Well where is it?”. 

And if you are like me you might be saying…“When I have the money/car/relationship/career/body I want…THEN I’ll be happy/grateful/fulfilled etc.”

Unfortunately, that’s not how it works.

When you are in manifesting mode, you have to first know that it is coming and enjoy the process.

I have one too many times fallen into the habit of taking score of what I want and how long it takes to get here.  All the while I am missing all of the amazing things around me.  At times in my life I have been a conditional happy person, meaning under certain conditions I would be happy.  (Mostly when things were going really well.)

Falling into the When/Then Pitfall is so easy in our world.  We are constantly on the look out for the next thing to bring about joy that we miss the very thing in front of us that could make us happy now.  And the crazy thing is that in order to manifest what you want, you have to be happy first.

What the career of your dreams? Make peace with the job you have.

What more money? Be grateful for the money you have and enjoy where you are.

What a better relationship? Appreciate the positive aspects your partner brings to the table and simply be happy.

The best thing you can do when you are trying to manifest anything, is start by focusing on what brings you joy in all aspects of your life. 

Find your joy with the in-between time.  As the details are coming together and you haven’t yet reached the ultimate manifestation, know that it is coming and choose joy, happiness, and bliss now.  After all life is to be lived and enjoyed in the present as opposed to some arbitrary moment in the future.

Life is meant to be loved, enjoyed, and appreciated in the moment…always.  Don’t wait for the future to live the life of your dreams…start now with the little moments.

Your action step for the day is to be mindful of all the joy, happiness, and blissful moments you have right in front of you.  Notice them, appreciate them, and welcome them with open arms.  When you do that, I guarantee all those things you have been wanting to manifest will come that much quicker. 🙂

Trusting the Process

by

Manifesting the life of your dreams can seem like a HUGE venture, especially when you are just starting out.  There are so many things you desire and so many beliefs to conquer that it’s hard to know where to begin and to trust that it’s going to happen.  I mean we do live in the ‘real’ world right? (I say that with tons of sarcasm.)

When you don’t trust the process, it makes things a whole lot more difficult than they have to be.  You doubt yourself, the Universe, and the magic-makers in the world telling you that you can have all that you desire.  But when you doubt yourself or the process, you slow things down.

So how do you trust the process?  I answer that question in the video below.

So, what is your little experiment you are going to try?  I’d love to hear in the comments below!

Shift Your Mindset With a “Love List”

by

 

heart

With Thanksgiving coming tomorrow, I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude, giving, and sharing.  I’m so very grateful for all of you that have read my posts, followed me on Facebook or Twitter and have taken the time to allow me into the sacred space of your inbox.  Before I go any further, I just want you to know I appreciate you.

Today I bring you a tip that I have been offering to many of my clients lately and thought you might find it useful as you move through the rest of your week and the final days of the year.

You may have heard of the Gratitude List to raise your vibration and to shift your mindset to the good things in your life, but I like to do something a bit different.

I make a “Love List”.

It’s a similar concept really, but sometimes it’s easier for people to write an extensive list when they think of all the things they love.  Simply grab a pen and paper and get writing.  As you make your list, you will begin seeing the images of what you love in your mind and immediately feel the shift in your energy and vibration.  You don’t have to have that thing directly in front of you at the moment to feel the shift.  You can simply imagine having it or experiencing it and it works in the same way.

My list often goes like this: I love…naps, rainbows, the smell of rain, fresh cut grass, hot baths, good wine, snuggling with my son, the ocean, coffee… Just doing that now has put me into a state of bliss and boy does it feel good!

Try it out for yourself and see how you feel.

I recommend this exercise to anyone that is having trouble imagining the good or shifting their energy to a more positive state of mind.  Manifestations and creating the life of your dreams require you to be open to all the amazing ideas and next steps that are coming your way.

You have to be in a state of flow in order to allow and receive the things you are wanting to manifest.  Many times that is the only block holding people back. 

Give it a try and let me know how you feel afterwards.  Do you find it easier to make a love list or a gratitude list?

P.S.  If you are in the U.S. and celebrating the holiday tomorrow, Happy Thanksgiving.  If you are one of my lovely followers overseas, Happy Hump day. 🙂

P. P. S. Are you on my VIP List?  If so, have you seen the Super Secret Offer that I sent out earlier this week? If not, check your email (and spam folder) as the offer expires on Sunday.  I want to make sure you get in early if this opportunity resonates with you. And if you aren’t on my list join it today and you too can get the info. ‘Tis the season, ya know.

***DISCLAIMER: This post does include affiliate links to programs I have tried and highly recommend.  I never suggest any product or service that I don’t have first hand experience with. ***

 

If you know me personally or have worked with me you know that I am all about personal growth.

I am always looking for ways to learn, expand, and grow not only to provide the best service I can, but also so I can continue to reach to new heights personally.

In the process I have stumbled upon some amazing books, practices, & products that have changed my life.  They are things I often suggest to my clients because I like to share the love.  It’s that simple.

So, today I share with you a list of things I not only love, but things that have changed my life for the better.

 

All time favorite book….

Inspired & Unstoppable: Wildly Succeeding in Your Life’s Work! by Tama Kieves
It is the book I go back to over and over again when I need a little reminder to follow my inspiration & intuition.  I love it so much I actually ran a giveaway earlier this year to gift a copy to one lucky winner.  This book will change how you think of success and it will reinforce what you already know and what I have been sharing with you for as long as I have been writing and that is…Follow Your Heart. Always.  If you are just setting out on your journey to freedom and the living the life of your dreams, this is the book for you.

 

For setting intentions & tracking progress…

I adore Leonie Dawson for her creative brilliance & her authenticity and the moment I found her 2014 Create Your Amazing Year Life & Biz Workbook, I fell in love with it.  Everything in that workbook lights me up.  It is full of amazing artwork, insightful questions, practical tips, and magical rituals to help you make your year amazing.  She is making some upgrades to it for 2015 and I can’t wait for it to be available for purchase.  If you are looking for something a bit more creative and fun to use as you plan your year ahead, I highly encourage you to check it out.  (I’ll share reminders once the 2015 version is available!)

 

For money mindset & manifesting…

Another woman I simply adore is Denise Duffield-Thomas.  I have been following her for about a year now and when I was ready to learn a bit more about releasing my old worn-out beliefs about money, I jumped right into her Lucky Bitch Money Bootcamp.  To say that it changes your life is a gross understatement.  It not only changed my relationship with money, but how I think of it altogether.  She covers everything from upgrading your life to dealing with past money memories and releasing the money blocks that we all have.  I also have to say that the Lucky Bitch community has been amazing!  There are so many incredible people who have joined the program that makes this program so special.  This has been by far one of the best investments I have made in myself.  If you are considering a manifestation course, I highly encourage you to check this out & you can even get a taste of what she teaches in her Money in 24 Hours audio for free.

 

For clearing & releasing blocks…

This year was the first time I had ever done anything with EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).  I had heard about it for years, but never tried it until early this year.  It might seem a little weird to you if you have never tried it, but the results are amazing.  I tap just about every day and it has changed my life.  I have used it for anxiety, frustration, fear, money mindset junk, and so many other issues I have dealt with in this last year and it instantly shifts how I am feeling.  If you are interested in some high vibrational ways to shift from fear to confidence or from lack to abundance, check it out.  I’ve included a few of my favorite EFT practitioners and their videos for you to take a look at.  Let me know your thoughts.

David Childerley & Brad Yates both have some awesome videos available.

 

0001-24026277I also want to offer you my free Overwhelm to Action audio to help you get through all the ideas you have so you can gain some clarity on how to start taking action today!  Simply sign up here to receive your free audio.
