Volitionary Life

What do you do when things don’t go as planned?

Both of my Jeeps are down, just days before a cross country trip (one’s being towed as I write this, completely unplanned.)

Yet, I have a smile on my face and a deep internal sense of gratitude.

It hasn’t always been this way.

I’ve worked hard towards an intentional mind shift in how I engage day to day in the world around me. Things are no longer good, or bad…they just are, and in realizing this I can choose how I respond. I can choose to feel into the moment, be present with myself and let the emotions flow through.

The research says you can work through your emotions in about 90 seconds if you are willing to go there in the moment. Life changing information!

Have you ever consciously slowed down, as you go about your day, and taken a look at the world around you?

I started doing this about a year ago, and I was surprised at how this began to change my day to to interactions with people.

I begin to notice, moment by moment, how we are all making decisions that effect the world around us in one way or another and we’re often oblivious to it!

As I became more attuned to the world around me, I decided I’d make a more conscious choice in how I show up.

It’s been a really good reminder to:

Slow down.
Gather information.
Be present.

How do you choose to show up, as you engage with others?

How’s your energy today?

There’s no mistaking mine… I’m on the verge of something big, I’ve been feeling it for quite sometime.

There have been a few moments in life where I’ve felt this way before and took a major step forward.

Selling my first house to design and build my current house was one of those moments.

I distinctly remember weighing out the risk/reward. There was a lot at stake.

Little did I know this home would become my sacred space to recover and heal.

What risk may you need to take, to move forward in your life today?

The final stage of healing is using what happens to you to help other people.

In the final stages of yet another coaching certification, if you’re interested in coaching DM to get an early bird rate! (Deadline: June 25.)

Have you ever had a word that you loved so much that you wanted to tattoo it on your body?

For me, I sometimes dream of tattooing the word simple in big bold red letters on my forehead…because I want the world to see it, as clearly as I hear it over and over in my own mind.

Why do humans feel the need to constantly make things more complex?

Is it: ego, pride, selfishness, greed, lack of awareness…?

If it can be simplified, to aid others…why are we making it more complex?

How will you show up for yourself today?

This morning, I had a client appointment with someone who did the work to show up for herself in a new way. She went there and is on the path towards healing!

This is such a great journey, the tools and training I’ve received not only have transformed my life but the lives of others!

DM me if you’re ready to start this healing journey for yourself!

Our coaching journey started 10 years ago!

It began as a path towards self discovery and has resulted in hundreds of lives being transformed. (It’s pretty remarkable how one small step can have such a drastic outcome.)

I’d love to join you in your journey towards a more vibrant life, reach out when you are ready!

Power.

Do you remember?

Silence.

Safe enough?

It’s worth the risk.

Practical wisdom.

Don Miguel Ruiz

Injustice exposes the most basic of human rights: the right to exist here and now as we are.

The world I knew, didn’t know me.
It didn’t want to.

The world I knew, didn’t see me.
A human with value and worth.

The world I knew, didn’t hear me.
A being with feelings and emotions.

The world I knew, didn’t know me.
A soul that belongs here.

The world I knew, didn’t love me.
Nothing more, nothing less than human.

‘The Game Changer’

What if you started each day with something that brought you joy?

It could be an absolute game changer! Don’t believe us, try it for just one week.

Wake up in the morning and let the very first thought be, what could I do right now to bring more pleasure into my life? Then do that thing!

Maybe it’s a gentle stretch that feels oh so good, feeling the sun on your face as you wake up, noticing how delightful the lotion feels on your skin, a small bite of chocolate to wake up your tastebuds, or a spontaneous cuddle session to feel the warmth of someone you love…

Let’s live a little! We’re only in these bodies for a short time…enjoy it!

Truth.

When one does the inner work, to address the question of what one really wants in life, life begins to unfold in ways they could only have imagined to be true. We all have our own volition in life! As we begin to critically think upon the question of what we truly want, we begin to move past the limiting beliefs that hold us back in life.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Trauma is condensed life energy, that is all.
Stuck, constricted, it longs to be liberated.
It longs to be seen, known, felt.

When it's met with love, it can blossom, YOU can blossom, into pure creativity.

- Jeff Foster

Always say 'yes' to the present moment... Surrender to what is. Say 'yes' to life - and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you.

Jon Kabat-Zinn describes overwhelm as: 'the all-too-common feeling “that our lives are somehow unfolding faster than the human nervous system and psyche are able to manage well.”'
