Own Your Choices Own Your Life

As we approach Christmas and the end of the year, I’m excited to dive into a topic that has been transformative in my life: scripting. This technique, which I began exploring about ten years ago, has evolved significantly for me over the years. Initially, I used colourful markers and creative writing to express what I wanted to change in my life, unaware of the deeper principles of NLP and subconscious programming that would later enhance my practice. In this episode, I reflect on my journey with scripting, starting from dissatisfaction in various aspects of my life—business,...

In this episode, I dive into a topic that resonates deeply, especially as we approach the holiday season—when many of us find ourselves in close quarters with family members we may not always see eye to eye with. The stress and chaos of the holidays can often exacerbate tensions, leading to conflicts that leave us feeling drained and frustrated. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to consider their energy in conversations, especially during disagreements. I discuss how our words and thoughts can create a toxic cycle of conflict, likening it to "spewing poison" that ultimately harms...

In this episode, as we approach the end of 2024, I dive into the often challenging process of self-reflection that many of us face at this time of year. It's common to find ourselves caught in a cycle of overthinking and self-criticism, questioning our achievements and feeling like we haven't done enough. I share my personal experiences of being my own harshest critic and how this mindset can hinder our growth and success. I explore the idea that we tend to be most critical of the very things that showcase our unique gifts and talents. I discuss how this self-doubt can stem from external...

In this episode, I am sharing a personal story a real-time shift, and how to navigate through the muck. It’s always important that we share our own story, sometimes we are walking through a ton of things that are outside of our control and we can only share our story.  The old me would fight like hell through every single challenge that crossed my path, mostly on my own until I realized I was wasting a crap ton of energy and realized nothing was changing.

In today’s episode, we discuss:

1)  Today I am sharing a personal story, and I wanted to share what it is really like in the moment navigating challenges.  These are some of the tools that I use:  I feel, I reach out and ask for help/support to shift my energy (not the fix-it friends, the holding space friends).  Choosing to stay stuck in it is exhausting and changes nothing.  I don’t rush this phase I do my best to move through it.  It takes days, sometimes a week or longer to shift it, but the longer you stay stuck in the muck, the harder it is to move.

2)  One key reminder that allows me to move forward and this goes back to when we were walking through the most difficult years of our lives.  First, I would remind myself that I was in the position because I could handle it, I was the person to find a way out, and I always had the answers, I might not like the answers, but I knew what the answers were.   The second reframe was the question “Did I make the best decision that I could at the time with the information that I had?” Tomorrow or the next day I might have different information but at that time I had this information. 

3) The wolf that lives is the one you feed.  If you feed the anger, resentment, lies, etc, there are no solutions there.  None.  Which means no change either.  When you feed the fear, the negative emotions and vibrations they only grow. 

4) The final question I ask myself is “How can I get bigger than the problem, and what if you do have the ability and skills to find your way out?  Getting bigger than the problem is being open to possibilities, potential people to cross your paths, and new insight. Letting go of an old decision.
