Visionary Thinking: Creating a Future Bigger Than Your Past
You were not meant to live on shampoo, rinse, and repeat. You weren’t built to loop the same week, month, and year over and over again like some weird Pinterestversion of Groundhog Day. But if you’re being honest … when was the last time you actually let yourself dream? Not a to-do list. Not a […]
Stop Faking, Start Being!
We live (unknowingly) in our subconscious most of the time. For example, we drive somewhere, immersed in our thoughts, and by the time we reach our destination, we realize we don’t even remember the drive! Bruce Lipton, the author of Biology Of Belief, said we live our lives like that 95% of the time, yikes! […]
Peter Crone Says, “Words Are Both Lock and Key.”
What we say to ourselves and about ourselves either grants freedom or locks us up. This is why when we say “Fake it,” we’re reinforcing something that we’re not good enough. Did you get that? That we have to fake it because we’re not good enough?? That hit me like a cosmic 2 x 4. […]
The Paradox of Change
“The curious paradox is when I accept myself exactly as I am, THEN I am able to change.” ~ Carl Rodgers The paradoxical theory of change means that when women allow themselves to be FULLY and AWARELY in touch with who they CURRENTLY are, change and growth emerge. It is inevitable and natural. This was […]
Full Empowerment: The Power You Forgot Was Yours
We’ve climbed the mountain together. Through the fog of Survival, the rocky terrain of Security and Self-Awareness, the sharp switchbacks of Self-Worth and Self-Expression … and now, here we are: Full Empowerment.This isn’t just another level. It’s the summit. The view from here changes everything. But let me be clear: full empowerment doesn’t look like […]
The Natural Tendency of Life is to Find Stability
James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, says, “The natural tendency of life is to find stability.”Our bodies do this automatically through homeostasis – for example, we have an average body temperature of 98.6 degrees. We aim for equilibrium or the Goldilocks Zone … we want our blood pressure to be just right; not too high […]
Deliberate Practice vs Regular Run of the Mill Practice
There’s a paradox in practice that I happily stumbled upon. I am a regular practicer of:• meditation• prayer• journaling• goal setting• strength training and exercise There is purpose (of course!) behind this repetition of practice, but there’s also the uncanny ability to throwout these important practices due to … BOREDOM! I just said the B-word […]
The Paradox of Freedom
“The disciplined become the free,” says James Clear, author of Atomic Habits. The paradox of freedom and having “a lot of time” is that it becomes too easy not to have restraint and thereby fritter away your time. The answer? It’s FOCUS. Yesterday, we talked about deliberate practice and how it can reel us in […]
Loss, Letting Go, and the Art of Rebuilding
Today, I want to talk about loss. The kind that pulls the floor out from under you – whether it’s the death of a loved one, or the death of amarriage. Because the truth is … Loss is loss. And it doesn’t always come wrapped in a casket or a courtroom. Sometimes, it’s an unraveling […]
