Make the Leap

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 1

In today’s Mindful Moment, I wanted to talk about taking a leap of faith.

Taking the leap is one of my superpowers. Call me nieve, call me crazy, call me courageous. They all fit.

Whether it’s launching a new business or adopting another country as my own — what I’ve learned is that the results that come when I face my own fears are almost always greater than I could have ever imagined.

The one thing I know for certain is this… if you really want to change your life, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE LEAP. And that means facing the fear of the unknown.

Taking the leap requires the CONVICTION that something has to change.

Taking the leap requires FAITH in yourself and the fundamental trust in the vision of who, what and where you want to be in the future.

It involves the BELIEF that good things will happen when you change your life.

I also know this… if you didn’t have doubts, it wouldn’t require a leap of faith, now would it?

I’m here to help you leap into your greatest year yet. Get in touch and I’ll share how.

Thanks for reading this mindful moment. I hope you took away something of value from it. I always welcome your thoughts or comments, so don’t hold back.

4 Things to Consider If You’re Not Manifesting Your Desires

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 54

In today’s mindful moment, I wanted to share with you some of the reasons that you might continue to stay stuck, unable to manifest your biggest desires. There are a lot of articles on manifesting available on the internet, but these are 4 things I feel are important to consider as you look inside to what’s been holding you back.

My business coach teaches that taking small imperfect actions every day is the key to moving our big visions forward. After working with him for the past two years, I see that this is, perhaps, the most important lesson I’ve learned.

As I look back on every big vision that I’ve manifested, I can clearly see that it was the small, imperfect actions that I took every day that moved me towards creating that which I desired.

So here are 4 things to consider if you’re not manifesting your desires.

1. Perfectionism.
I have a number of clients who don’t allow themselves to move forward unless they know 100% that what they do will be perfect. One client wants to change her direction and become an artist, after a career of delivering perfect software products.

When we hold on to the expectation of perfection, we prevent ourselves from taking risks, trying something new, and don’t move the needle forward for fear of being less than perfect.

2. Procrastination.
Another outwardly successful client wants to manifest a higher income to create greater financial security in her life. The number one thing that stops her is procrastination. She allows procrastination to get between her and her goal. The thing about procrastination is that it has a sneaky way of keeping you busy without allowing you to be productive.

3. Distraction.
Similar to procrastination, distraction effects most of us today. With the cell phone sending alerts every few minutes, to continuously updated social media streams, distraction is all around and an easy trap to fall into. My business coach has given me the gift of the power hour. A one hour block of time to focus on one important task. Silence your phone, set a timer and push distraction away for the hour.

4. Trapped Emotions.
Emotions like anxiety, grief, overwhelm, helplessness, unworthiness and many more can get trapped in the body and cause a great amount of unconscious self-sabotage, and even physical disease. These trapped emotions are keeping us sick and holding us back from living the life we desire. When we clear these trapped emotions, we unlock better health, better relationships, and better abundance in all areas of our life, and that includes manifesting our juicy passion and purpose.

So, let’s circle back around to the wise words of my business coach Bill Baren… “Imperfect action is better than NO action.”

If you’re ready to fully activate your manifesting mojo for 2019, join me in Panama for the IGNITE 2019 retreat January 11-14. Activate your audacious dreams and take inspired action to create your extraordinary life in 2019. Use code MM20 and receive 20% every retreat packages from now through December 18.

5 Ways to Cultivate Trust to Strengthen Intuition and Inner Wisdom

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 1

This morning I pulled an Angle Card as part of my daily practice. Have you seen them? It’s an adorable box containing 52 playfully illustrated keywords that help you focus on particular aspects of your inner life. I like to use them as a way to focus on a particular energy to meditate on throughout the day.

I shook the box and mixed the small cards around a few times. I reached in and pulled TRUST out of the box. It immediately resonated with me as recently I’ve been stepping into more vulnerability in my life and business and TRUST felt like a gentle reminder acknowledging that I am following my path.

Dictionary.com defines trust as: reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence.

The definition got me thinking more broadly, it got me thinking about what it is that I teach in my coaching. At the heart of Love Yourself Now is trust. Trusting self to have the integrity, the strength, the ability to move through life confidently, trusting in the unique inner wisdom.

So for today’s mindful moment, I thought I would share some key ways that I teach cultivating trust in your inner wisdom. The result of cultivating these aspects within yourself is that you open to greater intuition and inner knowing.

5 Ways to Cultivate Trust to Strengthen Intuition and Inner Wisdom

1. Know who you are.
This is the foundational work I teach in my unique Love Yourself Now 12 Week Journey. Your unique personality, your authentic essence, is the foundation of your power. Get to know it well. Understand who you are and how you move best in this world. This is a process of getting comfortable in your own skin. When you know yourself, you can move through life with increased grace and confidence. Insecurity and self-doubt have no room to grow in this environment.

2. Honor your daily practice.
Another fundamental aspect of the Love Yourself Now 12 Week Journey is crafting your own, unique to you, daily practice. A daily practice allows you time to calm the chaos and rejuvenate your mind, body, spirit on a daily basis. The key is to make the daily practice something you look forward to, not something you dread. This is your sacred time just for you, so carve out 10 to 60 minutes everyday to refresh and renew yourself in anyway that brings you joy.

3. Surround yourself with the right people.
Hanging out with people who sap your energy or pull you down depletes you and has you second guessing your inner wisdom. Learn to be non-negotiable and protective about the company you keep. When you build your community with others who are strong inside, you get the added support and reflection of their energy to compliment your own. Keep company with others who celebrate you and mirror your positive outlook.

4. Love your body temple.
It can be hard to trust your inner wisdom when you know your are making unhealthy decisions for yourself along the way. Make a strong effort to honor your body temple. Eat well, move your body, and dress yourself in ways that make you feel good about yourself. When you feel good about yourself both on the inside and the outside, your whole self is in congruence and as a result you deepen your trust for self.

5. Connect with your passion and purpose.
You were born with unique gifts and talents and when you engage in them you tap into your deep inner wisdom and your full potential. When you activate your passion and your purpose, you create more flow, more success in life, and cultivate greater feelings of confidence and life significance. Linking your passion to your purpose provides a great sense of fulfillment and trust that you are on the right path in life.

My greatest successes, personally, have come when I let go of judgment and have trusted my intuition and inner wisdom. The rough times, those times I suffered from depression and anxiety have been the times when I allowed self-doubt and self-sabotage to lead me. Trusting myself and having faith in my inner wisdom have been the greatest assets that I’ve been able to cultivate. Try the 5 ways above to cultivate your own!

Share how you are cultivating trust with us on Facebook or Instagram. We’d love to know your thoughts. Thanks for reading this mindful moment. I hope you took away something of value from it. I always welcome your thoughts or comments, so don’t hold back.

4 Tips for Crafting a Daily Practice

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 63

I want to hear about your daily practice.

As part of my daily practice I start the day by spending some uninterrupted time with myself. I look over yesterday to see where the moments of joy occurred, and identify those less than ideal ones too. I’ve replaced my “news” addiction with a guided meditation (I love the app called Insight Timer) and I spend a moment calling in the energy for the day that I desire. My daily practice shifts and changed according to my mood, but my daily practice itself is non-negotiable.

I thought I’d share a few tips for beginning a daily practice in today’s Mindful Moment.

1. Pick a time that suits you best.
I’m a morning girl, I love starting the day fresh and clear, but many of my friends are evening peeps, and enjoy the reflection that comes from an evening practice. Whatever time of day works best for you, use that time for a few moments of uninterrupted YOU time.

2. Make it just for you. 
It’s tempting to share your daily practice with a friend or lover, but I’d caution against it. When you can carve out “alone” time, you give yourself a personal gift, a time just for YOU. This personal time is an opportunity to drop into your authentic essence, to drop the ego, and to bathe in the uniqueness of your own spirit.

3. Mix it up.
Just like an exercise routine or a specific diet can get boring, so can your daily practice. Give yourself permission to mix up your practice. For example, some days I meditate in bed, all cozy under the covers, and others I am outside surrounded by birdsong. Some days you might want to journal, and others you might enjoy a walk in solitude. The goal here is to create a daily practice that feels good to you, that brings you inner joy, and that shines a light on your inner landscape. Bottom line: have fun with it.

4. Be kind to yourself. 
When you begin any new practice, there are always starts and stops, so don’t beat yourself up if you miss a day, a week, or even a month. Growth happens when you notice that the practice has faded, that’s when you can pick it up again with love and kindness. It’s when you come back to that which you desire with a grateful heart, that you begin to make it non-negotiable.

When you give yourself personal time alone everyday, you begin to listen to your intuition more, strengthen your inner wisdom and develop an authentic relationship with yourself. All of this creates deeper self love and helps you to know yourself more deeply.

Do you already have a daily practice? You can share your tips with us below. And as always, thanks for reading this moment. I welcome your thoughts and comments, so don’t hold back.
