Daily Dose—LET IT GO

Posted by

What’s weighing you down? Let it go!   You are capable of becoming healthy, strong, independent, educated, financially secure and creatively fulfilled!  What’s stopping you? Sometimes you have to let go of the things, people, places, and behaviors that aren’t serving your greater good in order to create a new best you.  Whatever or whoever is weighing you down it’s time to let it or them go!  What are you holding onto that isn’t allowing you to grow, change, expand, discover, or create the life you want to live?  Is it happy hour, sugar, negative thinking, anger, a bad relationship, an unhealthy habit, a limiting belief system, an old idea of who you’re supposed to...

Daily Dose—CREATE A SUPPORT SYSTEM

Posted by

Do you think you have to do it all alone? Think again. Instead of plodding along alone, why not find some like-minded support? There is someone out there who wants to support you, see you succeed, or is setting out to reach the same or similar goal as you. Find them! A friend, a family member, a support group, an online community, whatever or whoever you feel safe reaching out to for encouragement and support. It can be scary enough setting a goal, admitting you need help to accomplish it can be even scarier. Don’t be scared! You were brave enough to think about and make a choice of what you want to create, accomplish, or change—don’t stop there. Keep going. Ask for...

Daily Dose—START THE WEEK OFF RIGHT

Posted by

 Do you hate Mondays?! Get over it.   For many, Mondays are the first day of the workweek.  Collective ugh, right?  WRONG!  It’s a new beginning.  A fresh start.  A chance to do better, get it right, make a change.  What’s not to love about that awesomeness?  Sure, there may be work involved you’re not crazy about.  But, if you change your thinking, you can shift your attitude.  How wonderful is it that you have work that pays you and helps you pursue your dreams, cover your mortgage and feed your kids?  How fantastic is it that you have your physical and mental capabilities to be gainfully employed?  How fortunate is it that you are alive to get up and shower and...

Daily Dose—DO MORE OF WHAT YOU LOVE

Posted by

What do you do because you love to do it?!  Do more of that. No one is watching.  No one is cheering you on.  No one is telling you, “good job.”  No one is paying you.  No one is waiting for it.  No one cares…but you.  What do you love doing so much that you don’t care what anyone else thinks?  What do you love doing so much that you don’t care whether you get paid for doing it or not?  What do you love doing so much that even when it gets hard or difficult, you still want to do it?  What do you love doing so much that you do it simply for the love of it?  Reading, writing, singing, quilting, gardening, running, skiing, baking, building, cleaning, computer...

7 Paths to Thinking Outside The Box Inside The Box  and creating from what you have   1.  NO MORE WAITING.  You have two carrots, an onion, a bouillon cube, a bag of rice, an egg and a spice rack:  GO!  What would you make from the limited items you have?  You wouldn’t starve.  You’d get creative.     Don’t wait.  Start creating from what you have right now. 2.  SHIFT YOUR THINKING.  “Think Outside The Box Inside The Box” is a paradox to shift your thinking from limited thoughts, fear of lack and being trapped and powerless to being in control and empowered.  If the box is your life, exactly as it is, start there.  Instead of looking outside...

Monday Motivation—Are you ready to create?

Posted by

 Are you ready to create?   To “be ready” is to feel prepared and open and inspired and brave and confident and fearless and energized.  To “not be ready” is to feel anxious and confused and scared and shaky and doubtful and insecure.  “But I’m not ready,” we protest.  Not ready to launch, to start, to stop, to share, to believe, to bring it, to love, to show up, to get out, to give in, to go, to write, to be nice, to donate, to eat healthy, to forgive and on and on and on.  But it doesn’t matter whether you feel ready or not!  It doesn’t matter whether you really are ready or not.  Consciously or unconsciously, you are creating every second of every minute of...
