If you aren’t living a life you love, you need to change your plan, your beliefs or both. You created the plan (or you’re wandering with no plan) but your beliefs were shaped by others. They aren’t necessarily serving who you want to be and where you want to go. Beliefs can be changed. It’s…
If you aren’t getting the results you want, change your approach
Saying things like, “I’ve tried everything” and “nothing works” is giving yourself permission to quit. The words: always, nothing, ever, never, and everything” are rarely true. You haven’t tried everything or you’d have what you want. It’s that simple. It’s ok if you quit. It just means you don’t want whatever “it” is badly enough….
Sitting with the Uncomfortable Stuff
I’ve written very little lately which, by itself, makes me very uncomfortable. I’ve been in a period of introspection brought on by a bout of severe anxiety. I have battled anxiety since my childhood with an abusive mother. Even though I have always powered through the mild and the severest of it, I wish I…
Looking Inward…
Following my not entirely dreamy, dream trip to Paris a month ago, I have felt the need, which showed up more like anxious insistence, to take a break from social media, including my own FB group of lovelies whom I have worked to inspire for well over a year. Part of it was thanks to…
Kick anxiety to the curb! (How to Win Against Anxiety)
How to win against anxiety in minutes each day. I feel like the guy in the commercial who says, I’m not only the president of the hair club for men; I’m also a member. I have been an anxiety disorder member since childhood. As a happiness and success coach, those are the things I usually…
Chapter 1. Know what kind of eggs you like.
GET WHAT YOU WANT-THE MINDSET. Chapter 1. Know what kind of eggs you like. The book is nearly finished. I’ve submitted the 40 page book proposal and query letters to several well chosen literary agents. (Thank you Alisia Leavitt, my literary fairy godmother <3). While you’re waiting for the full Monty, you can catch excerpts and useful…
You’re enough. Even if you don’t believe it yourself.
You are good enough, smart enough, lovely enough, resourceful enough. I promise. I have battled much of my life with feeling “not good enough”. It doesn’t matter why. The feeling was persistent and deep in my bones. It still tries to take over my ambition occasionally. One day, I looked for proof to support this…
Are you the leader or a bystander in your life?
The difference? Leaders understand that they’re in charge of making things happen. If they don’t like something, they change it. Simple as that. As a leader, you understand that you call the shots. You ask questions and get answers. You support others because you are supported. Everyone else (your attorney, accountant, boss, coworkers, partner, friends)…
Stuck sucks.
I’ve been there. I’m familiar with that particular suckage. I’ve been stuck in a cubicle in what I thought was my dream job but instead was energy-draining and at the end, glorified dictation taking- while someone else was spending all day with my baby and I wasn’t making enough money to put a dent in…
