Do You Have The Guts?

I am delighted that you are here.   We are talking about the courage, the guts, the strength to do the holiday season a little bit differently today. We're talking about, you know, having an indulgence here and there, but not throwing in the towel for the season.   These 5 tips apply to ANY holiday season, or any season of life that gets hectic and wild.   Throwing in the towel around October was me for so many years, and I'm here to encourage you not to be like me, not to be like the old me, and to find a little bit of balance in between there.   Let's indulge, but let's...

Do You Have The Guts?

Thank you for tuning in. Today we are online with one of my most favorite friends ever, Dr. Chris Stanley. Chris and I have both lived through severe autoimmune diseases and found healing and wellbeing through nutrition.  Hydration is a key component for us both, we’d even consider it a ‘macro’ to count and understand if you’re serious about feeling good and having a body that works for you. In his physical theraphy practice, Chris often recommends hydration protocols for post operative patients and individuals looking to increase mobility alike! Our level of hydration plays a...

"When you can see your past as a treasure chest of learning opportunities rather than a dumpster full of regrets, your whole life changes." Dr. Benjamin Hardy   Reframing your past can unlock your potential and create a more positive and empowered future. What is Reframe? Reframing is defined as a psychological technique that changes how individuals perceive and interpret events, situations, or experiences.

Do You Have The Guts?

Today we are discussing a new perspective on perfectionism, emphasizing the idea of not measuring success against an ideal but measuring it from one's starting point. I discovered this concept in the book The Gap & The Gain by Dr Benjamin Hardy & Life Coach, Dan Sullivan.  This book is a must listen for business AND life in general. We are going to highlight how comparing oneself to an ideal can lead to feelings of inadequacy and dissatisfaction. Instead of comparing ourselves against an ideal, let's begin measuring progress by reflecting on how far we've come and by celebrating...

Links:   Addressing the frustration of not being able to get things done is first and foremost on the agenda for season 2. And honestly, the how to on this is very surprising. I’m also hoping listeners can relate to being stuck in indecision city. I had too many choices. Too many goals. Too many priorities. And I began the art of letting go, once again. Dieing to the old way of things or the old version of myself is never easy. Worthwhile, but never easy and quite shocking when realizing what is happening and why.

Commitment. show art Commitment.

Do You Have The Guts?

We think we are committed.  We think doing pretty good at all the things that support our goals in life most of the time is good enough.  We are not quite satisfied with our results, but the effort going into them seems somewhat profound and prolific even if you’re overcoming habits. I’d like to offer the idea that this story we are living isn’t true.  That cycle of 98% effort, unintentionally falling away from the habits that are pushing us forward towards well being…that cycle of stopping and starting again…THAT is what is truly exhausting us.

Do You Have The Guts?

Today is all about belief. Finding belief in you. Maybe this is a struggle for me over the last week or so because I am in the exact same process of digging deep to find belief in myself. Now if you are living on purpose, you’re always growing. That means you might have to stop and dig up belief when you need it. Becoming someone new, or transformation, required belief. Who I am today is a completely different version of me that who I was a year ago today. I am doing new and different and uncomfortable things. I am figuring things out STILL! Even when you believe in yourself, when you grow...

REAL Self Care & How to do it. show art REAL Self Care & How to do it.

Do You Have The Guts?

My history with self care was relatively non-existent until the last few years.  I suppose it really began in 2019 with consistently taking care of my body…by late 2020 I was 100% committed (vs 98% committed which we will discuss in a later episode!!!)  Getting to the point of wellness where I was able to consistently take care of my body was a huge journey in my pursuit of self care.  The realiziation that consistency wasn’t all will power and that discipline actually created freedom I also needed a dream team which I cultivated first with a chiro and acupuncturist. ...

Do You Have The Guts?

Reflection is a powerful tool that can work for you in many ways if you take time to indulge in its superpower. What we’re learning today is how to utilize reflection on a regular basis to improve results and mindset in our daily lives.  This episode is rich with stories and examples of how reflecting, finding the wins and noticing our thoughts leads to the results we have been seeking or the understanding that we’ve been seeking.    Reflection: What it looks like, how it works, and how it serves you. I thought I’d take you guys down memory lane with me as I reflect upon...

Episode 19 is all about well being and what piece of the puzzle you might be missing so far. If you’re looking to change or transform your life, that is a big endeavor. It’s probably going to take a few skills or essentials that you don’t have yet.

Love

Maybe you’re missing love. The first thing we think is yea, I am lonely. I wish I had that special someone in my life. But that is not what I am talking about.

  • Are you missing love for you?

  • Do you like yourself?

  • Do you love yourself?

  • Do you hate yourself.

Each feeling offers a very very different platform with regards to transformation. I dare say it’s impossible to transform in a lasting and meaningful way if you do not love yourself.

And I say this because I’ve been there. In the deep. Doing the things. And failing. Over and over. For years. And I didn’t even realize what I was missing!

So we are going to talk soon all about self love and self like and self hate, and how to really care for yourself. Guess what - it’s free. It doesn’t involve a single pampering thing or even a checklist. I know….you’re tuning in for that episode, right. I was a hater of self love for a while, but when done well, wow. A real and true love for yourself is life altering.

Belief

How about belief. Are you missing belief in you? Do you need someone else’s belief before you can find your own? Maybe you used to believe in yourself, but you don’t so much anymore. You won’t even try because you don’t believe you can do it, or you don’t believe you will do whatever the big thing is…for you. Because you’ve been letting yourself down for a while now. Belief seems tricky, but it is not. We will chat about uncovering hidden beliefs that are holding us back and the potential of belief as well.

Commitment

Are you committed? Is commitment your thing that’s missing?

You want to but you cannot commit the time.

You cannot commit the effort…to you…to your transformation.

You’ve tried but you’re never ALL in.

Maybe you know what is holding you back, maybe not…but I think learning the art of commitment to others and to self is an important piece of the puzzle if change is something you want. Nothing changes if everything stays the same. Commit to what is next 100%. Fullly. I know i lived in the 2% of being 98% committed for years. Even after the concept was introduced to me I resisted full commitment to my dream. We will talk about how to commit and resolve to fulfill the commitment.

Meditation

Do you have time to think straight? Sometimes life can expand at such an exponential rate that we literally cannot make a to do list. It even feels like we need someone to talk us through the morning routine because so much is coming at us from every angle. Text, calls, messages, email…the onslaught of activity in our lives is compounded by our pursuit of a finish line that doesn’t exist. Because we do the thing, climb the mountain, organize the project, and we never celebrate. We simply move on to what is next. What are we teaching ourselves? Where is the stillness we need every day to quiet our minds and our bodies. Offer recovery to our bodies that have been flying in flight throughout the day, month or year. Do you need Meditation? Does overcoming yourself - your body and your mind - before the day even begins sound like something that could be your one big missing thing? Can you even imagine letting go of EVERYTHING before you begin the day?

Creativity

Creativity is a topic we are going to dive into as well, but it has nothing to do with what you might think. I’m not talking artistic necessarily…we’re talking how to create a life, a pathway to more, an income…

Last but not least we will round all of this out with consistency/habits. I feel sure it might trickle in everywhere because consistency combined with good habits = success in almost any endeavor.

Thank you for tuning in so far. Let’s see where we land buckling down on the one thing we’re wanting to fine tune the most...I am working on valuing my time like it is money!

Strength vs Weakness

And hey - the thing you need or want. The tool or the characteristic…let’s not focus on a weakness. I’m not saying to embrace weakness, but what if we concentrate on a strength and magnifying it to create more change and goodness in your life and the lives around you? We might grow leaps and bounds concentrating on a strength vs concentrating on a weakness (something we feel shameful or doubtful about).

For example - for me to concentrate on buffering way too much…you know what I mean. When you get caught in the mode of forever processing an idea or move…and you do nothing. Or you do laundry or clean the kitchen instead of the thing that will move you forward…buffering. If I concentrate on buffering 24/7, that’s not so good. Everything is negative. But if I concentrate on how well I execute tasks when they are planned, aligned and executable…I get new ideas and solutions on how to make things more planned, aligned and executable…

Really as I think through this, each one of these episodes might encompass letting go of the old to a degree. The old belief, the old you, the lack of commitment, the idea that you’re not a meditator…There is a lot of letting go of the old in each of these episodes…to become the new! How appropriate!

Until next time, stay curious!
