Do the dirty work…

When it comes to doing mindset work, it’s a two pronged process.

MOST people know it as “thinking happy thoughts” and “being more positive”, but that only lasts a little while before the mindset gremlins jump in and attack all the positive thinking you’ve been doing.

You see, most people don’t think about doing the dirty work of mindset transformation.

Digging into the old, worn out, sabotaging beliefs that are holding you back.  They forget they are there and think that they can simply cover them with more positive thoughts to balance things out.

That’s simply not true.

In order to transform your life, you have to be willing to do the dirty work.

The digging. The uncovering. The illuminating.

Often times just giving those thoughts and gremlins a voice, you can weaken their power over you and your path.  By simply recognizing them, you open up the awareness to begin the shift.

The true shifts occur as you realize the ONLY reason your old beliefs were true is because you BELIEVED them.

So, what if you believed something else?

What if you could step into a new reality and believe the exact opposite of what you believe now?

What would that look like for you?

It would look like a new life, new reality, and new experiences born seemingly instantly.  It would appear as though your new reality was manifesting before your very eyes and the only way to keep it that way is to reprogram your beliefs to EXPECT this new reality to remain normal for you.

You can’t shift beliefs you don’t know you have.

  • If you are having money issues (not enough, lots of debt etc.) then you must look at what you think and believe about money.
  • If you are having issues with love and relationships (cheating partners, always feeling lonely etc.) then you must look at what you think and believe about love and relationships.

You can’t change what you are unaware of so doing the dirty work of mindset transformation is KEY.

Have you done it lately?

If you are reading this, you probably haven’t because it’s uncomfortable and scary.  No one willingly goes into the dark cave to excavate the sleeping bears and bats do they?

They do if they want to create a new space filled with light, love, and joy.

Has your mindset work consisted mostly of “thinking happy thoughts” and “being more positive?”

If so, you likely aren’t seeing huge shifts in your life.  Unless you are willing to do the knitty gritty work that comes with mindset transformation, you aren’t going to see lasting changes in your life.

BUT…if you are brave enough to do the dirty work AND the light work then you will see instant shifts in your life.

If you’ve never done mindset work and you are completely fed up with being and feeling stuck in a rut then I invite you to join us for the Miracle Mindset Immersion program.

This program is designed to not only do the dirty work of mindset transformation, but it also allows you to develop a mindset that is life giving, supportive for your new reality.  Through this 4 week program you will uncover, delete, disprove and transform your beliefs in ways you never thought possible, but beyond that you will begin to see instant shifts in your current reality and that is priceless.

The program begins on Monday and I’ve just added an extended payment option that makes it an easy yes. So what do you say?  Are you in?

The Conditional VS Creative Life

If there is anything I have learned in this life it is that we have an incredible creative power to make our lives what we want, regardless of any external conditions.

I’ll be honest, though.  It took me a long time to get to that place.

For most of my life, I thought life was kind of a toss up.  You win some, you lose some and for most people, life was a jumble of the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Sure, there were people telling us we could be whatever we wanted to be, but the reality I lived in was so powerful, I’m not sure I believed it.

You can probably relate to this idea of ‘conditional living’ right?

There have probably been times when you allowed your external circumstances to dictate how you think and feel.

Bank account dipping close to zero=really crappy feelings and constant worry.

Relationship woes=feeling badly about yourself and your romantic future.

Struggling your way through a sucky job=suck it up buttercup, that’s just life.

But is that TRUE?

Do we just have to suck it up and hope for a better tomorrow or is there something we can actually do to create a better life?

The truth is, there is another way.

There is the infinite, powerful, creative way of living that changes everything.

Believe me…it changed my life.

Once I realized that *I* had control over how I think and feel and that those very thoughts and feelings had the power to shift and change my outer reality…magic happened.

I did things I never thought possible like start my business and help my clients change their lives.

I made more money.

I met my soulmate.

I bought a dream house.

Now, if you would have asked 16 year old me if this would ever be my future, I would have laughed at you because at that time, I didn’t think very highly of myself and I was living, eating, and breathing a life of lack.

I was merely trying to survive life…never mind THRIVING in life.

It’s actually kind of sad to think of, but it’s true.

My default setting was “I can’t…” and it didn’t matter what followed those words.

I didn’t think I could do anything.  I didn’t think I was worthy of love, abundance, joy, or very much really.

BUT…that all changed, when I began shifting my mindset. 

It took a few years of searching for the key to happiness before I landed in the world of personal-development and began doing some of the internal work necessary to change my life.

If ever you’ve wanted to change your life for the better, I can tell you first hand it all starts with your mindset.

We all have thoughts, beliefs, and old programming that we carry with us about ourselves, our lives, and how we interact with the world.  Our mindset powers our beliefs which powers what we expect to experience.  From there our reality is created.

But, what if with a bit of awareness, reprogramming, and a commitment to your new life, you could create instant shifts that would make you happier?

Would you be interested?

A huge portion of the work I do with my clients is based around mindset and helping them get out of the stinkin’ thinkin’ that keeps them stuck and unfulfilled and into the empowered, enlightened, life-giving space that creates miraculous shifts in their lives.

It’s also what inspired me to create a transformational Miracle Mindset Immersion program for YOU.

This is a 4 week group journey that has the potential to change your life forever.  Mindset work is something we all need, especially if you aren’t exactly where you’d like to be in your life right now.

It all begins May 2nd and I’d love for you to join us!  Early Bird pricing expires Monday April 25th at 11:59pm EST so if you are interested, get signed up asap!  Click the button below for more details!

When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Mindset Lemonade

by

Mindset has been on my mind over the last month or so and it’s probably because I’ve had to do some MAJOR reframing in my own mind to deal with a massive life move I am currently going through.

Between balancing my business, the move, selling a house, and dealing with what feels like 100 other things at once, I have to admit, my mindset has not been the greatest.

The Universe so kindly reminded me of this and provided impeccable inspiration to write not one but two pieces on the importance of mindset work that I’m sharing with you today.

If life is currently giving you more “lemons” than you feel you can handle right now, some teachers will tell you to “think happy thoughts”, and while I would tend to agree under normal circumstances, I’m learning that that just doesn’t cut it sometimes.  Instead, I’ve found 5 other ways of handling these moments that are far more productive.

I even wrote a piece about it on The Huffington Post.  You can check out “Why “Thinking Happy Thoughts” Isn’t Enough: 5 Things You Should Do Instead here.

If instead, you are feeling a bit sick of your ‘lemon’ reality and are ready to fast-track your mindset and life, then you need this incredibly powerful mindset hack that changes lives.  I know it sounds dramatic, but I promise this is amazing.

Check out my article on MindBodyGreen: The Mindset-Shifting Hack That Gets You What You Really Want In Life

Rest assured knowing that if you are going through some lemon-like times, you’re not alone.  Many of us are going through incredible transformations right now and part of that means turning said lemons into mindset lemonade.

Remember this won’t last forever and that you have the power to shift anything in your life.

Onward and upward friends!!!

Chronic Self-Sabotage: What’s “too good” for you?

What happens when life gets “too good”?

You know the moments when everything feels so easy and effortless.

You lose those 10 lbs with ease and blow your income goal out of the water without even breaking a sweat.  And it just so happens to be the same day you hit all green lights going to work, stop by your favorite coffee shop to find that you are the 1000th customer and win free coffee for life! (My dream!)  With a perma-grin on your face you float into work and find that you just got a huge bonus and you can’t help but ask…”How does it get any better than this?!”

Then…

Reality sets in and you start thinking about how perfect everything has been lately and you wonder why it’s all changed.  What’s up?  What’s new?

You get nervous.  Anxiety strikes and your vibration immediately shifts and you almost don’t know how to handle this new found luck.

It feels foreign, unnatural for you, and while it’s been the best week of your life, you can’t quite shake this uneasy feeling.

Then…

You drive home worried, only to hit every single red light, get caught in traffic for hours and pull into the driveway to find not one, but two nails in your tires.  You walk in the door, stub your toe, trip over the rug and do a giant face plant on the floor just before you hobble into the kitchen to find your pipes have burst and water is running all over your beautiful wood floors.

Your magical wonderland of a day has turned to shit in the matter of hours and you can’t quite figure out what has happened.

This is a wildly over exaggerated example of classic self-sabotage.

These are exactly the kinds of things you might see happen when life gets too good.

You might also experience things like, excessive bills after making quite a bit of money or quickly gaining back all the weight you recently lost.  You might even find yourself manifesting fights with friends or loved ones or losing things you recently purchased.

And the list goes on.

What is self-sabotage & why do we do it?

As creatures of habit, human beings thrive on routines and knowing what to expect for the most part.  When we start doing or experiencing things that are outside of what we have come to expect and what has been comfortable for us (even if it’s uncomfortable and we want to change it.), we tend to create situations (subconsciously) to bring our experiences back to ‘reality’.

Have you ever noticed how you tend to hit a limit when it comes to your income, weight loss, or another similar goal?  You hit that magic number and can’t seem to break through the ceiling?

You may have hit what Gay Hendricks in his book The Big Leap calls an upper limit problem.

When things get too good, too fast, we tend to unconsciously (and energetically) pump the breaks and sabotage our success.

Logically it doesn’t make sense, but it’s something we all do from time-to-time.  It’s also what tends to happen when we expand our experience without also expanding our mindset.

Your mindset is the key to overcoming (and limiting) the self-sabotaging behavior that might come up as you continue to grow and evolve.  By clearing the blocks and limiting beliefs we have about what is normal for us, we open our minds and lives to endless possibilities, therefore limiting any future self-sabotage.

The moral of the story is this: When you do your mindset work, you will not only create amazing experiences in your life, but you’ll also continue expanding beyond your current limits.
