The only thing we should not do is do nothing.

It's a FEW against MILLIONS of us... The time to do ANYthing and EVERYthing we can, no matter how small, is NOW!! 1. Do NOT OBEY in advance, they're counting on that 2. Stay focused. This huge sh*tshow is meant to paralyze us. 3. Do NOT COMPLY w/o resisting, make it hard to FW 4. SPEAK OUT, silence is acceptance 5. SHOW you can be COUNTED on / a FAFO attitude 6. Seek information and SHARE it with everyone 7. Undocumented or not, KNOW & EXERCISE your rights 8. Resist: prepare to act and STOP/SLOW them down 9. Organize, plan, be ready to take RESISTANT action 10. Be team up with like-minded people, Bluesky… we're stronger together Act as if we were invincible... because we ARE. We WILL win this. We WILL win!! "When someone SHOWS you who they are, believe them the FIRST time." - Maya Angelou It's time to show them who WE are.

Recent events have gotten me thinking more about the meaning of neutrality than I normally would.   It's so easy for our brain to spiral into darkness, fear, sadness or other unpleasant emotions.   So, how do we bring it back to a neutral zone as soon as possible (if we're ready) so we can do life?   One thing I know for sure is… life will always throw us curveballs from time to time… be it sickness or troubles of all sorts.   Here are some things I find helpful: * It's ok to be/feel negative emotions… fighting them too much may be the worse things we can do. * It's always been this way * It'll always be this way… more or less * Refocus on all the beauty and good in your life * Sometimes we have it wrong… our imagination at its best (like maybe the next four years won't be as bad as many of us think)       IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

I'm seeing, and feeling, more fragility in the last couple of weeks than I have in quite a while… due to the election results… but it's mostly due to where our focus is.   Is ignorance bliss?   If ignorance is bliss, do you remember a time in your life when you suffered greatly, only to look back now and ask yourself… “what the heck was I thinking?”.   During the depression not everyone was poor… who prospered? During the pandemic not everyone was lonely… why were some people not lonely?   Who is sad/mad/afraid/ now? … Who is happy/joyful/excited with the election results?   What to do in the next 4 years (or in any difficult time really that's outside of our control) ** Are we ok right now? Can we breathe, eat, see, hear, have a roof over our head, are we safe? ** Are our loved ones safe, healthy, fed?   ** Are others in our same situation experiencing a different result?  If so, why?   What can we do to remain safe, and to not let our situation make things worse?   How can we get to the other side having used this hardship to improve ourselves?   Let's make hard times count for some good!   IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

The following statement gave me cause for deep contemplation… “We hurt our own feelings by thinking we mean more to people than we really do.”   I agree up to the ‘thinking' part, but not on the ‘mean more' part… that part we actually do not know, and will never know.   Other related Podcast Episode(s): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-90-self-imposed-misery/id1597656935?i=1000624439287   IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

When we lose control of our emotions, we give our power away to another person, or a circumstance! Being able to manage our temper is a sign of a good leader, a kind person, a person that can be trusted. Losing our cool is a sign of having low self-esteem, where we take things personally, to our own detriment, and make others miserable! Being able to control our emotions, especially negative ones, is good for everyone! Let's practice and model calmness, and let's not surrender our personal power to anyone or anything.   IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

[Stay to the end for a funny Ep 113: The Fires We Burn edit/remix by my husband!] Growth and evolution are humanity's nature, an innate desire… we can count on that forever. How do I know if I want to grow & evolve? If you feel stagnant, bored, sad, wish to do things you see others do but you think you can't do. How do I know  what my purpose is? We humans have MANY purposes at different phases of life.  We have seasons… birth, teen, wife, mom, adult, a senior, etc.  These are some clues. We have different starting and ending points to our seasons as well. Finding what our purpose(s) is for US… You will feel it… unfulfillment, feeling there should be more to life, etc. Follow your desires, search what your soul is calling you to do, to experience, to share, to leave behind!!   IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

First, the “how” of unlocking the key to anything we want in life keeps being revealed to us over and over, but we keep missing the opportunity to grab it! You/we all have ideas that pop up as we go about our everyday lives, all of us do… but what do most of us do with them? NOT a thing! We also miss many ideas that are floating around everywhere… example: how to pay off your mortgage, improve our marriage, etc. Also: You ever talk to someone and mention an idea?? that you think they would benefit from and they say something, “Oh, yes” and it appears as though they already know it, but are not doing anything about it? WE ALL do that.  Earl Nightingale referred to it as “know-it-alls with unpaid debts and empty bank accounts”! So: Let's put our thinking & listening caps on and be on the lookout, not for ideas/breakthroughs and being ready to receive them… the ideas WILL come! BE ready for your brain to say NO/disregard the idea as a good one… it will come up with a list of why an idea is not good. Ideas are always coming (from outside & INSIDE of us), but willing to seize them/say yes! Listen to the part on my video on investing in Real Estate and paying off your mortgage. Not all ideas will be good, but we won't know unless we try them (52/year). Always have FUN. LOVING something is a win/win (fashion, shopping, home organizing, home decor, garden design), and you can do it all or most of it ONLINE! HUGE change may not come overnight, but it will come… it's like working out and progress is not visible right away. Things will get EASIER. Use your phone's NOTEs app. I'm doing it, I'm going… even if it's a snail's pace, but I'm going!  Are you coming?  Let's go!!!     IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

We've all seen (and been) people who believe that our life's results are outside of our control. My hope is that, if you are thinking that now, from now on you never again believe that your destiny is in someone else's hands and not your own. No one is in charge of us and our lives… Not our work boss Not our government Not our husband Not our parents, after 18 We do not ever HAVE to do anything if don't want to… not even a job, or that job! There's power in knowing this! I decide what work to do, who I marry, or NOT marry. If I don't like the work I do I can acquire a new skill and get a new job. If I don't like how little money I make, I can increase the quality of the value I can provide and get paid more for that value. Even at work I'm always my own boss, because I'm in charge of where I work, and what work I do… I AM IN CHARGE OF ME ALWAYS! My work boss is in charge of him/herself and his/her job, not me, that's my job. So now knowing and remembering that you're always in charge of all aspects of your life, how will you move forward? Will you stay WHERE you are and HOW you are, or are you going to choose a new direction, a new horizon? The whole point of this episode is to not stay stuck, by choice! So, let's plan and let's go!

What's the difference between real and self-imposed victimization? Our thoughts! In the movie Room, as little Jack reads the line “For you see, out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.” From the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, this girl's thoughts changed in one instant, although she had been, and most importantly had believed she was a victim. Compare this to times in your life when you felt like a victim, and how you acted… it was something someone said or did, or something happened. What's the difference between a victim and a victor?  The way we think. We see this in movies all the time, but we know that art imitates life. How can we retell our story in a way that we are victors, not victims? Even when (and especially when) we are also the villain. Things to consider if you've felt like a victim, a prisoner, when in fact the door was wide open: 1.     Own your part in having co-created your current state (bad choices, over eating, wrong guy, over spending) … feeling powerless! 2.     Decide to own your future journey from here on out 3.     Own when you don't take action… don't blame external circumstances 4.     Adapt (start) an attitude of “I got myself into this, I'll get myself out it” 5.     Use your influence, your VISION (The Power of Vision Ep 97), your VOICE… take action and SPEAK your future into being. 6.     It's ok to experience pain, but don't allow it to become part of you, don't carry it!  Travel LIGHT!!

It's not always easy to be on the battlefield, where we are tested to our very limits. Some days I just want to quit!! Today I wanted to quit… big time! Then I saw the plays on my last few episodes and I remembered the words of one of my coaches, “If I can help even just ONE woman, my efforts matter. I will not quit and let her down.” I also just wanted to cry, because she also said that in the beginning no one was listening, but she kept going… for ME!! And I will keep going for YOU!!

What does it mean to be at the HELM of one's life? What is a helm? Helm (per Google): a tiller or wheel and any associated equipment for steering a ship or boat in a certain direction. “She stayed at the helm, alert for tankers.” Our life is like a ship… there are many moving parts that work in conjunction to get us to where we want to go.

What's important about this topic what it means to us, to me, to you.   I may think someone is settling, but if they are happy it really doesn't matter what I think.   The question is whether we are settling for a life less happy and prosperous (to us) than what we truly want, and are capable of creating… therein lies the tragedy in settling!   How to know if we're settling, and why we are doing so…   If you are unhappy about any area of your life, and you do nothing about it, you are settling!   Example: You rent where you live and your landlord is a pain in the toe, and you hate living there, but you've not ever even looked to see if you can buy your own place… you are settling for mediocrity and you are contributing to your own unnecessary suffering! A solution could be applying to get preapproved and look for a place within your price range, right NOW, so that you never have to deal with a landlord again!   Whatever you're settling for (you're unhappy about it), start working on improving it. Even if it takes your whole life to journey to it… in fact, pursuing an ideal is part of the joy we experience as humans.   It's okay if it takes forever… that's normal!   When we continuously strive to improve ourselves and our life, the joy is in fact in the journey and there is no end to what we can go after (think gardeners... They never stop gardening).   It is my belief that when we are unhappy in life, or blame others for our own misery, it's because we are not pursuing a worthy ideal(s), big or small.   An ideal doesn't have to be big, I can be anything that fills your heart with joy!   Putting up with anything that robs you of a joyful life is monumental… could be a matter of life and death! Being unhappy can actually make you sick… our bodies thrive when we are happy and at peace.   Pursue happiness and peace in your life, always! Starting right now, start by focusing on and loving all the good you already have and then add to that, and never stop!    Related podcast Episodes: EP 105: BE TOO BUSY TO BE UNHAPPY ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-105-be-too-busy-to-be-unhappy/id1597656935?i=1000636755131⁠   EP 119: LOVE YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-119-love-your-life-right-now/id1597656935?i=1000648101508⁠   IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

What is your life can you concentrate your efforts on to make it as amazing as possible? For me, on the surface… My garden My closet My home equity (very important!) My zero debt My fridge full of every condiment you can think of!! My hats, scarves, handbags (have many but mostly use an old trusted one) My Spices My fully stocked and organized pantry My relationships   This list is endless for each of us, but it's little things like these that are very important in that they are like chain links/stepping stones if you will, that can grow and expand to and make our life as a whole even better…   What in YOUR life are you concentrating on, or COULD START, that would lead you in the direction of a better, more fulfilling life?   One area that a lot of us struggle with is RELATIONSHIPS… unsettled relationships are sleep stealers, so we must do our best to cultivate the ones we care about most.

What paradigm are you operation on right now? We have paradigms such as… “Diets don't work”… I lose weight then I gain it all back! The ‘thermostat' is keeping our program weight according to our current paradigm.   Why is that? The thermostat was programmed, and so are we, based on past experiences and everything going on around us and we go back to something we do not want.   “The most money I can make is”… Whatever your current job pays you, which is based on your current skills set.   “This is the best job that I'm capable of getting/doing, so I'm stuck here”… How many people do you know who stay at a current job even if they hate it? They're stuck in their current paradigm. “I'll never be able to afford to buy my own place”… Unless you're planning on moving or dying soon, what's the reason for thinking this?   “I'll never get out of debt/debt is BAD”… Not all debt is bad, did you know that?   “I'm stuck in this”… marriage/this town/ this house. Is this really true?   “I'm too old to”…  learn new things, new technology, new skills, change my life.     What if all we had to do is try new things, new thoughts, new habits on??? Are you really too old to… ? Are you really stuck in… ? Is it true that diets don't work? Maybe it's our current programming/paradigm that keeps sending us back to eating foods we shouldn't, when we are not hungry.   Let's start REPROGRAMMING a new paradigm into our being.   Resources mentioned: The Science of Being Well by Wallace D.

I think too often we think “if I only knew 'how to'”! Everyone asks “how”, but my how is not your how. We need to ask ourselves “why”… the why is the reason and the way! 1st: Look and listen… be open, a vessel, a cup. 2nd: Take note… it's like writing down a recipe and reading the instructions. 3rd: Apply… what good is owning a beautiful dress if we never wear it, having fine china you never use? 4th: Embody/PRACTICE... it's like wearing high heels until you don't fall, until if feels natural to you.

If someone offered to trade lives with you, who would that be, and would you do it? My guess is that there is no one you know personally (there isn't for me) that you would trade your ENTIRE life with! Because even when we whine and complain about life, deep down we love our life so much, but sometimes we just think we don't! The easier and greatest journey would be to LOVE the MOST of what we have, while continuing to pursue an even better life. Not because we hate our current life, but because we just want more. It's ok to want more. We can want more for us, for those we love, and for the world. From this perspective… what an amazing journey this life can be!! What is AMAZING in your life right now? Something you would be devastated if you lost it?? When we look at life that way, it will become more and more that way… it's the LAW of the universe. So, the trade-off is: instead of focusing on why life is not as grand as you wish it was, trade your POV… turn AWAY from that ‘not so happy' reality and create a new one just by refocusing on what you love NOW, because that will inspire and drive you to create more of it.  There is no limit to what you can manifest, and you can start right now. Make a list: What are the things you'd be devastated if you lost them… and start to love and celebrate having them.     IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

When the brain says “I can't afford” it right now… Is it really true? Or would it be better to say, I rather spend my money on something else, or I don't value that right now? “I don't have time”… that's a lie, how others do so much more “I don't know how”… how about if you just start you'll find out along the way & grow as you find out “What will “they” think?”… A better choice would be to inspire them instead… if someone is going to judge you, they ALREADY do! If we're constantly saying (and our subconscious is listening and manifesting) that we can't do something we actually wish we “could” do, we are digging a bigger whole for ourselves in that direction! (Think of Oprah vs a whining person you know, who blames everything and everyone… what's the difference the two? Their thoughts) Instead let's focus on how (for example) if the real reason I can't “afford” something (self-development comes to mind), doing it would cure the problem, by improving our skills, our ability to be able to “afford” it! Is that TRUE or do I value something else more, maybe having that money in the bank not doing anything! It's best to be truthful with ourselves… like “I don't trust that I will utilize that knowledge”, is better than “I can't afford it”.  Don't plant that poisonous seed in your mind! Next time you find yourself stopping yourself from doing something you want to do, try to really examine the truth of the matter, the real “why not” and not believing the excuse your brain if offering.   IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

Dream the undreamnt... Why don't we dare to even just dream a fantastical dream? __ Reach for the seemingly unreachable: (You don't have to do it all alone, or all yourself… just start) __ Do it for more than just yourself: (Those watching you, especially those who are like you, will be inspired) __ Do it for more than just the “getting”: (Who we become in the process is better than what we achieve) __ So, is there something in your life that no one you know, or in your family has ever done before, but that you wish you could do? Go for it!   Things to Pioneer in: they don't have to be monumental things…they can just be something meaningful to YOU, it can be anything that will make your life better, happier, calmer, more enjoyable. __ Not doing things you don't want to do, just because you're expected to do them. __ Not doing things that make me feel uncomfortable , for whatever reason, such as “respect your elders”, attend the funeral of a family member you hated, no matter who doesn't like it. __ Honoring your feelings: after a certain age you don't want to be part of your childhood religion __ When we keep quiet, and hide our true dreams or emotions, we have no idea who we're not helping or what hurtful secrets we're keeping.

You've heard of the phrase “Pros & Cons”, right? Mostly everything in life has pros & cons, including us! Up has down, high has low, happy has sad, day has night, light has dark… all most in balance, but too much of even a good thing can become a con. Where do our CONs live? Our bodies, our minds, our memories? They became part of us, based on our upbringing, and our surroudings growing up. What are they? They are our bad habits, fears, laziness, insecurities, doubt, not feeling worthy, and they keep us down in the dumps, where don't want to be! Side note: Laziness does not need to be a con! Examples: __Someone robs a bank… that's stupid lazy! Don't be that. __Someone who never does their yard work, weeds will take over, even becoming a hazard. Be smart lazy and hire that out, find a way to make that is not send you to prison!  How do we minimize them? (it's not possible to banish them forever!) (Make friends with them (but not BFFs!)… it can be a guest, a passenger, a distant friend/relative),   AND by Nurturing/Focusing our PROs and strengths (because what we think, we become): (example: Clean kitchen, organized closet, beautiful garden, etc.)   CATEGORIZE and tackle things individually (at home or work).   This is HARD work! Try a cleaning schedule, I do this (since everything starts at home (what happens inside our homes shapes our lives).   Book mentioned.

The day you took your first breath was the beginning of the shaping of the life you have now.   The people who raised you shaped you… (rich, poor, famous, kind, mean, educated…)   Your life experiences shaped you… (we're like a recipe!)   It has not been a straight road… all the bends and turns left an imprint in you, in how you see yourself. It's the same for me.   But your future (and mine) is yet to be written.   From here on out, you hold in your hand, or better yet in your mind, the paintbrush that can paint and bring to reality a future you envision.   So, overcoming brings about a new result, a result we want to bring about, on purpose.   95% of the population wants this… why are we not where we want to be, what's holding us back?   Our resistance to overcoming our current self, that's what!   What steps can you take right now, where you are, to overcome your current self, your current life?   Start now, right where you are.

As you start to believe in limitlessness, things will start to show up in your life, to LINE UP with you!   __ 1 We're all limitless beyond measure… know that, get it in your heart & soul, research it, study it, practice it, TEST it. __ 2 Don't be afraid to experiment/to fail… go after things you really want, start with simple “attainable” things that will boost your confidence… Example #3 __ 3 I have tested this, our house, our gate, are both pure proof… I too am doing this work… let's do it together! __ 4 Don't look up to those whose life you would not want to live. __ 5 Don't look to your (preprogrammed) past, look to doing something new to get new results. __ 6 Get out of comfortness.  Comfort is a killer of dreams… do the uncomfortable, unless you want to stay the same.   Open your mind to see how limitless you truly are (look for evidence if you must), research it, read books on it, hire a coach, etc.   I am not ‘telling' you what to do, even if it sounds like it… This is also the work of my life, I'm walking this path along side with you, inviting you to come along.

What if instead of thinking something was “too late” for us, we let the new wave of women of today, some in their 60s, 70s (like Joan, IG: Joan MacDonald @trainwithjoan) inspire us?   While it's true that there may be things we can't physically do after certain age, it's also likely that we would not desire to do them, to put in the effort.   However, if you have a DEEP DESIRE to do something, it's very likely that if you set out to do it, you will find a way to do it.  Joan (mentioned before) was 70, and 70 lbs overweight when she started training with weights, and at 78 she's still going strong.   What are most 70 yrs olds in your life doing??   What happens if we've “missed the boat”?  RE-THINK things… look for evidence that it's possible to course-correct… it will most likely not take much effort to do so!   The human body is an amazing miraculous machine… it can (if not damaged beyond repair) repair itself… best news ever!!   Small effort produces amazing results… (like working out)   In fact, often the less we do… (eating less, but healthier) the better the results.   We often feel we'll have “less freedom”…  if we change (dieting, changing habits)   Truth is… we will have MORE freedom… (if we prioritize and re-focus our 20% effort), our 80% time will be more enjoyable than if you live life willy-nilly… (causing loss of sleep)…   Course-correcting can be done at any moment… it just takes deciding.   Decide to start, and take your life in a direction of your choosing… (not like a leaf in the wind)   If you're wondering but “HOW”??... Your intuition will guide you, it's your GPS!!... When you truly desire something it's an indication that you are capable of attaining it… Someone could hand me the exact plans on how to go to Mars at 65, but without a desire is it likely that will do it?   Remember, go inward, the answer lies in your heart, follow you intuition!   Related Podcast episode: Ep 120: GET M0RE WITH LESS EFFORT Women Rising Together: EP 120 – GET MORE WITH LESS EFFORT on Apple Podcasts   IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

Here's what we're discussing in today's episode… ·        Why do we vilify social media, yet we all flock to it? ·        Social media is amazing, and we can use to either our advantage or our detriment… both our choice. ·        Focus on the best version of you, for you. ·        Post for YOU, for your future memories, not for others.  Others will come and go, and all that remains is you.          Each time you live a moment by enjoying or by posting about it, you're creating memories of your life, for your future life and for your posterity. Choose wisely.         Our memories affect our mental and physical health… focus on the best of your life, to create your best life. ·        I'm a lover of all things nature, coaching, family, and food…so I post  about that. ·        Post about what you love, and the more you do the more your life will become just that.   We don't always have to put it “all” out there for the world to see.  We can pick and choose what memories we look back on as we age.  And the better we choose, the better our life will become.   See you next time!    IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

The law of attraction is all-knowing: *Can't be fooled, tricked *doesn't know good from bad * right from wrong…   The law of attraction is us, and is IN all of us, and in EVERYthing: *It works through us, for us * what I do can have an effect on others * what I desire is brought into being by others.   We are, collectively, the manifestors of our lives: *we affect each other *rely on each other *support/provide for each other *share with each other * learn from each other.   This law works through our subconscious: *it's our subconscious * our subconscious does everything/it manifests… it takes orders from our conscious *while we are awake we have thoughts that are like seeds when we sleep * our subconscious is the soil.   *Start by focusing in all that you have now that you love, and are thankful for in your life right now.

Believing creates a FEELING, and when you truly feel that feeling, is when you set things (creation) in motion.   This means a clearly defined road to the realization of your dreams. And it's the law of the universe, of how things work… and it's handled by our consciousness!   In order to operate this law, we need to understand the conscious (male) & the subconscious (female)   The conscious generates ideas and impresses those ideas into the subconscious, while the subconscious RECEIVES these ideas and gives FORM & EXPRESSESS (good or bad) these ideas into our reality. In other words, it MANISTESTS them! Ideas are conveyed to the subconscious through our TRUE FEELINGS.   This doesn't mean suppression or restraint of one's feeling, but rather consciously controlling our feelings, or disciplining of self, to imagine and entertain feelings that contribute to your happiness.   Indulging, dwelling, or entertaining feelings of wrong, unhappiness or imperfection, will be impressed upon the subconscious and it will work to manifest these things in our lives. So… BEWARE that the DOMINANT of two feelings is the one that will be EXPRESSED… (it's LAW), to become a reality.   Lastly, effort is counterproductive. Yay, I don't need to move heaven and earth myself in order to make my dreams come true… thank you!   Practice, practice, practice… feeling and believing (act as if) your desired is here, because in fact, it IS. In some alternate universe the reality you seek already exists, but you must PICTURE, FEEL, and BELIEVE your way to it.  Your imagination and your subconscious will lead you.  Allow yourself to be lead to your desired life and future.

There's no better time than the present.   We take action based on past experience, which keeps us from growing.   New goals have not ‘evidence'… yet.   We worry about/and let the “how” stop us. The how will reveal itself as we start moving forward.   We don't trust our imagination… But our imagination is our greatest asset.   Our imagination is the KEY… Use it!   The picture we see is our MAP… Follow it and don't stop.   Book mentioned:  Quantum Leap Your Life by Jennifer Blanchard Show mentioned: The Man in the High Castle (watched on Amazon Prime, about alternate realities)     IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

The After-the-Super-Bowl-58 Episode!!  As we watched this amazing game, eating and drinking all the delicious things that would most likely kill us, quickly, if we ate them daily and in the same quantities, we most likely did not reflect on what it takes to get to be in the championship of our division or niche, to then get to have the opportunity to be the “best of the best”… that year!   As you most likely know, the top 20 of the population MAKES/controls 80% of the wealth, while the remaining 80% SHARES the remaining 20%! WHY is that? Keeping also in mind that being at “the top” changes (WHATEVER the best is you're going for), and there are so MANY fields… and that nothing is a zero-sum game. Nothing!! There are endless CATEGORIES and CONSUMERS for everything, that we can't ever run out of possibilities in which to excel at.   Can we take notes from these players and keep showing up for ourselves no matter what? Even when someone else (even our competition) wins, and we have to go back and start over? Do we have the BELIEF in what we're marching towards, in OUR dream, to keep going?   My wish is that your dream will keep you marching toward it UNTIL you reach it.     IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

Are you doing too much of the things you don't want to do, and not enough of what you do want?   Here's the thing… * There will never be a shortage of people thinking you didn't do enough OR that you do too much of something! But we all do that at times, and the thing is it's no big deal because eventually all we truly care about is about the things that matter to us.   * So, you might as well do what is enough for YOU, and less of what it's not! * We're all different, so what's too much or not enough for each one of us is going to vary… BUT it doesn't mean we're not going to judge each other for it, and who cares anyway.  Do YOU, what makes you a better and happier person. * Doing what's best for YOU serves EVERYONE in the long run because you're showing up as the BEST version of you!   Thank you, Shonda Rhimes for this advice!! In her book Year of YES (affiliate link below), Shonda Rhimes (creator of Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder), and yes I quoted her on Ep 114 also, she makes a clear point on doing things YOU want to do, how you want to do them, and not let yourself guilt yourself for not doing what others want you to do how they want you to do them! AMEN to that!! https://amzn.to/3uaReYc   So focus more on what you want and you and all those you love will be the better for it because you'll be showing up as the best version of YOU.       IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

As a life coach you don't just wake up one day and decide to be a life coach… it's a journey of self-discovery and self-healing that brings us to a knowing that we can help others discover how amazing life truly is/can be, that propels us forth.   Part of my journey has been reading endless books on self-improvement, and today I want to share three of those books with you. At least that's been my journey… and today the books I what to share a couple of takeaways from are:   *Sacred Space by Denise Linn https://amzn.to/4b84RYG   “You are not separate from your home.” Everything starts at home… which we know because too many of us are traumatized by things happened to us at home as children. When you have peace at home, the rest starts to fall into place. Create (now!) a home YOU love to be in/at, not for “others”.   *Year of YES by Shonda Rhimes (creator of Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder) https://amzn.to/3uaReYc   Don't let comparison (you to them) ruin your life… Do what you want, how you want to do it. To really see how what “we think about most becomes our reality”, for better or for worse.   *Finding Your Own North Star by Martha Beck https://amzn.to/47UQhB7   Who are “they” anyway? The people we are afraid will judges and therefore we stay small. Who cares about what “they” think?  Only your ‘social self' cares, but our essential self can leads us to where we truly want to be. Follow your intuition, what makes you truly happy. *The above links are affiliate links.   IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

Alright, so it's a given we are born with the capacity to do anything we truly want to do in life. Ability is what we must acquire in order to reach different levels of our capacity.   That's such a simple concept, but too many of let fear get in our way. Let's talk about the difference between the two and how to take action to improve our abilities. See you inside!   Often we are held back in life because believe we are not capable reaching our dreams, but that's flawed thinking.   In the movie A Million Milles Away (on Amazon Prime Video now), Jose Hernandez keeps getting rejected by NASA year after and year, and they his wife asks him “What they have that you don't?” She's referring to other applicants that have been accepted into the space program.  He then starts to think about what he needs to improve on in order to learn new skills, develop his ABILITIES in order to stand a better change.   He always had the capacity... He needed to work in his abilities.   The same is true for you and for me… what abilities/skills do we need to work on in order to reach a higher capacity?   I've seen people struggle in some of these, just as an example: If you're tech challenged… take up computer science, google things, read books Struggling with a language? Learning a second language that will help you get a better easier job, or help you learn new things faster is a great step to take. Acquiring a new skill associated with your dream of… painting, making jewelry, making toys (toy by polina) Developing new habits that move you towards your goals… health, fitness, etc.   Lastly, and most importantly… Having a DESIRE is KEY… without desire we stay as we are and we will ither away.     IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

I could have also title this “tying up loose ends”! Why do I say this?   Because we often dwell on what we “didn't do”, that we believe we “should have” done. According to cultural norms… what we see on TV, on commercials, etc., or something “someone” said.   First: We need to understand that these are just THOUGHTS.   Solution: We can take steps to address what's keeping us awake, IF that's what we want. Such as… Call or text someone Write a note, if that's what it takes Use Amazon (or any other provider) for gift-giving… Do whatever it takes for you to have peace of mind.   Understand that this is just for YOU… Why do I say this? Because I've NEVER been kept awake thinking of how others “didn't do enough for me today”, so that tells me that if I'm thinking that, it may just be me… MY thoughts.   So do what YOU need to do, for YOU to be at peace.   IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don't feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

Did you know that most Americans end up or dead broke by age 65? I was shocked when I heard this a few years back!   “What we think, we become.”  – Buddha So if we don't think about how we're spending our money we won't have any.   How much is in your bank account now? How much of what you made last year did you save?   Do you know your net worth? If not, figured this out now and set your mind up to increase it.   Have you thought about how much money you would make in 5 years?   How much you will have in the bank in 10 years? Start doing,  and working on the math on these things now.   How do you spend your money, what assets do you own? Are they appreciating (like real estate) or depreciating (like shoes) assets? Make a conscious effort to be choosy about where you money goes… think BANK!   Are you investing in YOU? You are your best asset… you ARE the asset of your life, invest in your betterment, you'll always have that!   How much is Netflix really costing you? Not in monthly fees, but in how much more money you could be making, that are not, if you focused on that instead of Netflix'ing?   I love this little book on money (aff.
