“Stuck” is just an illusion

If you would have told me that about 8 years ago, I would have very adamantly explained how wrong you were.

You see, before I knew what I know now, I played victim to my circumstances more often than not.

I thought for sure that being ‘stuck’ in a dead end job that made my mind numb was unfair and I couldn’t see a way out.

The truth is, I had a way out all along, but I was too afraid to do anything about it.  I was afraid to quit, to try something different and to go after what I really wanted in life.

I made excuses and argued for my limitations which only kept me in the comfort of complaining about just how ‘stuck’ I really was.  It took awhile, but finally I managed to see what was possible beyond the mental restrictions I had playing at any given moment.

That was the day I began to dream of something better and now I’m living it.

I know that when you are feeling ‘stuck’ it feels as real as a cut on your hand.  You FEEL it, talk about it, maybe even cry about how stuck you really are, but I’m here to tell you that you have the power!

In fact, that’s what the Break Free From Stuck: Group Edition program is all about.  Helping you see that you have choices and the power to break free once and for all.

I’ve been getting lots of questions about the program itself and decided to put together a little video to explain a bit more.

It all begins February 1st and I currently only have 2 spots open for participants to sign up and receive a FREE 1:1 coaching session in addition to the additional support you receive for the program.  If you are interested in learning more about the program and want to claim one of those spots, you can do so here.

If ‘stuck’ is how you feel, it’s time to break free and this program is just the thing you need!

What do YOU want?

by

With the release of the Unleash Your Personal Power e-course that starts tomorrow, I have had this consistent question come up for myself and my clients over and over again.  And if you know me, you know that when I see a theme appear, I take notice.

The theme this time boils down to one question: “What do YOU want?”

It seems like a simple enough question, but when was the last time you asked yourself that?  It seems we are far more tapped into what we think we need as opposed to what we want in life.  Add to that questions like:  What do you want…to feel, to see, to experience, to be, etc., and the question can get a bit convoluted.

I know on any given day, I am more likely to share with someone what I ‘need’ to get done rather than what I actually need or want for that matter.  Ask me what I want and I might be stumped for a moment if I am so far entrenched in my ‘have to’ list.

Why is that?

There seems to be a general perception that giving and doing are far more important than allowing and being.  So when we take the time to see what we

really want, it feels foreign and often uncomfortable.  It is of course necessary to feel the discomfort in order to move through it and identify what it is we truly want.

The truth is this:  You have the ability and power to make your life happy, just as you have the ability and power to make your life less than happy.  You can choose to thrive or simply survive.  The choice is yours to make.  However, if you are merely surviving what life throws your way then you are not really harnessing the unlimited power you have within to make this life amazing and magical.  It may be that you don’t have the tools, practices, confidence, or knowledge you need to use that power.  And if you fall into that boat then I assure you the Unleash Your Personal Power is the course for you.

This course isn’t just about getting what you want in life, it’s so much more than that.  This course will teach you effective and life-changing tools and practices to live the best life possible all the way around.  It is being offered by myself and three other talented women who have collectively coached and taught hundreds of people to harness and utilize their own power.  If ever you have thought about how to live the best life possible starting now, this course is for you.

This self-paced e-course begins tomorrow and to make it even easier for you to join us, we are offering a payment plan option so it is affordable for everyone.  This course is transformational, inspirational, and full of power.

You already have the power within to make your life amazing, we simply want to introduce you to it.  Are you ready to join us?  If so you can sign-up, learn more about the teachers of the program and try out a free meditation here.  Life is far too short to merely survive what life throws at you.  This is your chance to thrive!

Teacher, Student or Both?

I have come to a point in my journey where I am realizing something that feels pretty big to me.  Something that at one point would have hit me right between the eyes as I thought ‘Huh???’.  In fact what I am realizing is also becoming a theme with many of my professional colleagues and friends who are sharing their gifts with the world.  Maybe you are going through it too on some level and if so, I want you to know you are not alone.

So what is it?

I have recently realized (or remembered as it may be) that we tend to teach the lessons we most need to learn.

Say what?!

If you are a business owner, teacher, professional, or expert of some sort it can be mind-boggling to think that you can actually teach something you still need to learn.

It sounds a bit like an oxymoron, but I am willing to bet that some of the most amazing teachers of the world were also some of the best students.  I mean even Albert Einstein was constantly learning, growing, and evolving in the middle of all his amazing scientific discoveries.

What is it that makes us believe that when we transition into the role of teacher, professional, expert, CEO, or whatever other powerful position you can come up with that, we need to know everything in order to do the job well?

I call BS on that thought because it simply isn’t true.  Not only do we teach what we most need to learn in many cases, but our own individual lessons, growth, and healing make us so great at what we do.  The fact that we have the experience, have the knowledge, know the tools, and can share them with others makes us incredible teachers!

Bottom line: You don’t have to know it all! (Whew, thank goodness for that right?)

So with that thought I share with you my lessons that I am constantly learning and teaching.

  • Flow with life.  Forcing does nothing but create resistance and resistance feels icky.  Don’t struggle, just flow with it! (This is one lesson I have the honor of reminding myself of a lot. )
  • Accept what is. There is no use worrying about the details, the moments that haven’t come yet or trying to prepare for the inevitable failure that we feel is coming.  If you accept what is right in front of you as being perfect in every way you allow solutions, magic, and miracles to appear.  So true!
  • Keep going.  This one seems a bit obvious and while I haven’t ever entertained the thought of ‘quitting’ per se, there are times when I am down in the dumps for whatever reason and instead of planning, scheming, solving, and trying to control the situation, I need to remember to breathe and keep going.  My theme of the year is ‘show up’ and when I consistently show up and remember the first two lessons, things work out rather nicely.
  • Self-care is monumental.  I am learning to listen to my body far more than I have in the past.  A previous people-pleaser and overall achiever, I often felt guilty when I wasn’t busy doing something.  It really didn’t matter what that was either.  Now I am providing myself with more compassion and love so when I feel the need to take a break from Facebook or take a nap to fill up my tank, I do it and don’t feel the least bit guilty (most of the time).

Do you find you learn many of the same lessons that you teach?  I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.  Let’s learn together!

Announcing-Unleash Your Personal Power and a Bonus Offer!

by

Happy Monday!

Have you ever had those moments in life where every detail has fallen into place perfectly  at the exact moment and time and you knew without a shadow of a doubt that it was meant to be?  Well that is how I feel about my latest project.

I am so excited to introduce the Unleash Your Personal Power e-course that I am co-hosting with 3 other amazingly talented women from around the world!

We know life can be stressful and if we don’t take care of our entire selves (mind, body, and spirit) we can easily become uninspired, worn out, burnt out, and feel as though it is taking everything in us to simply survive.  By now you know that I believe we are all meant to enjoy life and do more of what we love.  This course will teach you how to do that and so much more. Embrace (12)

It’s time to give yourself permission to enjoy what life has to offer.  To THRIVE instead of merely survive.  To tap into your creativity and do more of what you love.  That’s the kind of life you deserve.  Don’t you think it’s about time to Unleash Your Personal Power?  I certainly do!

In fact the next 19 people to sign up for this amazing transformational journey will receive a free 45-minute coaching session with me on top of all of the incredible information, tips, practices, meditations, and collective expertise that is included.
