Dream the undreamnt... Why don’t we dare to even just dream a fantastical dream? __ Reach for the seemingly unreachable: (You don’t have to do it all alone, or all yourself… just start) __ Do it for more than just yourself: (Those watching you, especially those who are like you, will be inspired) __ Do it for more than just the “getting”: (Who we become in the process is better than what we achieve) __ So, is there something in your life that no one you know, or in your family has ever done before, but that you wish you could do? Go for it!   Things to Pioneer in: they don’t have to be monumental things…they can just be something meaningful to YOU, it can be anything that will make your life better, happier, calmer, more enjoyable. __ Not doing things you don’t want to do, just because you’re expected to do them. __ Not doing things that make me feel uncomfortable, for whatever reason, such as “respect your elders”, attend the funeral of a family member you hated, no matter who doesn’t like it. __ Honoring your feelings: after a certain age you don’t want to be part of your childhood religion __ When we keep quiet, and hide our true dreams or emotions, we have no idea who we’re not helping or what hurtful secrets we’re keeping. Be a Pioneer in any way that suits you, that highlights your talents, your dreams, your abilities, and most importantly your ambition for HOW you want to live YOUR life!

You've heard of the phrase “Pros & Cons”, right? Mostly everything in life has pros & cons, including us! Up has down, high has low, happy has sad, day has night, light has dark… all most in balance, but too much of even a good thing can become a con. Where do our CONs live? Our bodies, our minds, our memories? They became part of us, based on our upbringing, and our surroudings growing up. What are they? They are our bad habits, fears, laziness, insecurities, doubt, not feeling worthy, and they keep us down in the dumps, where don’t want to be! Side note: Laziness does not need to be a con! Examples: __Someone robs a bank… that’s stupid lazy! Don’t be that. __Someone who never does their yard work, weeds will take over, even becoming a hazard. Be smart lazy and hire that out, find a way to make that is not send you to prison!  How do we minimize them? (it’s not possible to banish them forever!) (Make friends with them (but not BFFs!)… it can be a guest, a passenger, a distant friend/relative),   AND by Nurturing/Focusing our PROs and strengths (because what we think, we become): (example: Clean kitchen, organized closet, beautiful garden, etc.)   CATEGORIZE and tackle things individually (at home or work).   This is HARD work! Try a cleaning schedule, I do this (since everything starts at home (what happens inside our homes shapes our lives).   Book mentioned.

The day you took your first breath was the beginning of the shaping of the life you have now.   The people who raised you shaped you… (rich, poor, famous, kind, mean, educated…)   Your life experiences shaped you… (we’re like a recipe!)   It has not been a straight road… all the bends and turns left an imprint in you, in how you see yourself. It’s the same for me.   But your future (and mine) is yet to be written.   From here on out, you hold in your hand, or better yet in your mind, the paintbrush that can paint and bring to reality a future you envision.   So, overcoming brings about a new result, a result we want to bring about, on purpose.   95% of the population wants this… why are we not where we want to be, what’s holding us back?   Our resistance to overcoming our current self, that’s what!   What steps can you take right now, where you are, to overcome your current self, your current life?   Start now, right where you are.

As you start to believe in limitlessness, things will start to show up in your life, to LINE UP with you!   __ 1 We’re all limitless beyond measure… know that, get it in your heart & soul, research it, study it, practice it, TEST it. __ 2 Don’t be afraid to experiment/to fail… go after things you really want, start with simple “attainable” things that will boost your confidence… Example #3 __ 3 I have tested this, our house, our gate, are both pure proof… I too am doing this work… let’s do it together! __ 4 Don’t look up to those whose life you would not want to live. __ 5 Don’t look to your (preprogrammed) past, look to doing something new to get new results. __ 6 Get out of comfortness.  Comfort is a killer of dreams… do the uncomfortable, unless you want to stay the same.   Open your mind to see how limitless you truly are (look for evidence if you must), research it, read books on it, hire a coach, etc.   I am not ‘telling’ you what to do, even if it sounds like it… This is also the work of my life, I’m walking this path along side with you, inviting you to come along. Let’s go, let’s get it ours… no one else will claim what’s yours.  It’s yours and yours alone.

What if instead of thinking something was “too late” for us, we let the new wave of women of today, some in their 60s, 70s (like Joan, IG: Joan MacDonald @trainwithjoan) inspire us?   While it’s true that there may be things we can’t physically do after certain age, it’s also likely that we would not desire to do them, to put in the effort.   However, if you have a DEEP DESIRE to do something, it’s very likely that if you set out to do it, you will find a way to do it.  Joan (mentioned before) was 70, and 70 lbs overweight when she started training with weights, and at 78 she’s still going strong.   What are most 70 yrs olds in your life doing??   What happens if we’ve “missed the boat”?  RE-THINK things… look for evidence that it’s possible to course-correct… it will most likely not take much effort to do so!   The human body is an amazing miraculous machine… it can (if not damaged beyond repair) repair itself… best news ever!!   Small effort produces amazing results… (like working out)   In fact, often the less we do… (eating less, but healthier) the better the results.   We often feel we’ll have “less freedom”…  if we change (dieting, changing habits)   Truth is… we will have MORE freedom… (if we prioritize and re-focus our 20% effort), our 80% time will be more enjoyable than if you live life willy-nilly… (causing loss of sleep)…   Course-correcting can be done at any moment… it just takes deciding.   Decide to start, and take your life in a direction of your choosing… (not like a leaf in the wind)   If you’re wondering but “HOW”??... Your intuition will guide you, it’s your GPS!!... When you truly desire something it’s an indication that you are capable of attaining it… Someone could hand me the exact plans on how to go to Mars at 65, but without a desire is it likely that will do it?   Remember, go inward, the answer lies in your heart, follow you intuition!   Related Podcast episode: Ep 120: GET M0RE WITH LESS EFFORT Women Rising Together: EP 120 – GET MORE WITH LESS EFFORT on Apple Podcasts   IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don’t feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

Here’s what we’re discussing in today’s episode… ·        Why do we vilify social media, yet we all flock to it? ·        Social media is amazing, and we can use to either our advantage or our detriment… both our choice. ·        Focus on the best version of you, for you. ·        Post for YOU, for your future memories, not for others.  Others will come and go, and all that remains is you.          Each time you live a moment by enjoying or by posting about it, you’re creating memories of your life, for your future life and for your posterity. Choose wisely.         Our memories affect our mental and physical health… focus on the best of your life, to create your best life. ·        I’m a lover of all things nature, coaching, family, and food…so I post  about that. ·        Post about what you love, and the more you do the more your life will become just that.   We don’t always have to put it “all” out there for the world to see.  We can pick and choose what memories we look back on as we age.  And the better we choose, the better our life will become.   See you next time!    IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don’t feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

Okay, this principle is going to blow your mind, and make things so much easier and fun in your life! ** LOOK AROUND YOU… DON’T LIKE WHAT YOU SEE? It means you/your effortless-ness is producing 80% of your "unwanted-ness." ** THIS IS GREAT NEWS, because too often we tell ourselves how overwhelmed we are, but that’s actually not true (it’s only our thoughts)… But our idea of messy is only ours (even if we have to clean up, just for us)  ** UP YOUR 20%/EFFORT : What to focus on? Focus on what you enjoy doing, are good at, is more important, and of greatest value! Focus on all the things that make you happy and that are good for you now and later, good for you and those you love.   ** POUR OVER THINGS YOU LOVE, and they will GROW & overflow in your life   ** FOR EXTRA INSPIRATION… Add the element of time constraint...

The law of attraction is all-knowing: *Can’t be fooled, tricked *doesn’t know good from bad * right from wrong…   The law of attraction is us, and is IN all of us, and in EVERYthing: *It works through us, for us * what I do can have an effect on others * what I desire is brought into being by others.   We are, collectively, the manifestors of our lives: *we affect each other *rely on each other *support/provide for each other *share with each other * learn from each other.   This law works through our subconscious: *it’s our subconscious * our subconscious does everything/it manifests… it takes orders from our conscious *while we are awake we have thoughts that are like seeds when we sleep * our subconscious is the soil.   *Start by focusing in all that you have now that you love, and are thankful for in your life right now.

Believing creates a FEELING, and when you truly feel that feeling, is when you set things (creation) in motion.   This means a clearly defined road to the realization of your dreams. And it’s the law of the universe, of how things work… and it’s handled by our consciousness!   In order to operate this law, we need to understand the conscious (male) & the subconscious (female)   The conscious generates ideas and impresses those ideas into the subconscious, while the subconscious RECEIVES these ideas and gives FORM & EXPRESSESS (good or bad) these ideas into our reality. In other words, it MANISTESTS them! Ideas are conveyed to the subconscious through our TRUE FEELINGS.   This doesn’t mean suppression or restraint of one’s feeling, but rather consciously controlling our feelings, or disciplining of self, to imagine and entertain feelings that contribute to your happiness.   Indulging, dwelling, or entertaining feelings of wrong, unhappiness or imperfection, will be impressed upon the subconscious and it will work to manifest these things in our lives. So… BEWARE that the DOMINANT of two feelings is the one that will be EXPRESSED… (it’s LAW), to become a reality.   Lastly, effort is counterproductive. Yay, I don’t need to move heaven and earth myself in order to make my dreams come true… thank you!   Practice, practice, practice… feeling and believing (act as if) your desired is here, because in fact, it IS. In some alternate universe the reality you seek already exists, but you must PICTURE, FEEL, and BELIEVE your way to it.  Your imagination and your subconscious will lead you.  Allow yourself to be lead to your desired life and future.

The After-the-Super-Bowl-58 Episode!!  As we watched this amazing game, eating and drinking all the delicious things that would most likely kill us, quickly, if we ate them daily and in the same quantities, we most likely did not reflect on what it takes to get to be in the championship of our division or niche, to then get to have the opportunity to be the “best of the best”… that year!   As you most likely know, the top 20 of the population MAKES/controls 80% of the wealth, while the remaining 80% SHARES the remaining 20%! WHY is that? Keeping also in mind that being at “the top” changes (WHATEVER the best is you’re going for), and there are so MANY fields… and that nothing is a zero-sum game. Nothing!! There are endless CATEGORIES and CONSUMERS for everything, that we can’t ever run out of possibilities in which to excel at.   Can we take notes from these players and keep showing up for ourselves no matter what? Even when someone else (even our competition) wins, and we have to go back and start over? Do we have the BELIEF in what we’re marching towards, in OUR dream, to keep going?   My wish is that your dream will keep you marching toward it UNTIL you reach it.     IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don’t feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

Are you doing too much of the things you don’t want to do, and not enough of what you do want?   Here’s the thing… * There will never be a shortage of people thinking you didn’t do enough OR that you do too much of something! But we all do that at times, and the thing is it’s no big deal because eventually all we truly care about is about the things that matter to us.   * So, you might as well do what is enough for YOU, and less of what it’s not! * We’re all different, so what’s too much or not enough for each one of us is going to vary… BUT it doesn’t mean we’re not going to judge each other for it, and who cares anyway.  Do YOU, what makes you a better and happier person. * Doing what’s best for YOU serves EVERYONE in the long run because you’re showing up as the BEST version of you!   Thank you, Shonda Rhimes for this advice!! In her book Year of YES (affiliate link below), Shonda Rhimes (creator of Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder), and yes I quoted her on Ep 114 also, she makes a clear point on doing things YOU want to do, how you want to do them, and not let yourself guilt yourself for not doing what others want you to do how they want you to do them! AMEN to that!! https://amzn.to/3uaReYc   So focus more on what you want and you and all those you love will be the better for it because you’ll be showing up as the best version of YOU.       IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don’t feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

As a life coach you don’t just wake up one day and decide to be a life coach… it’s a journey of self-discovery and self-healing that brings us to a knowing that we can help others discover how amazing life truly is/can be, that propels us forth.   Part of my journey has been reading endless books on self-improvement, and today I want to share three of those books with you. At least that’s been my journey… and today the books I what to share a couple of takeaways from are:   *Sacred Space by Denise Linn https://amzn.to/4b84RYG   “You are not separate from your home.” Everything starts at home… which we know because too many of us are traumatized by things happened to us at home as children. When you have peace at home, the rest starts to fall into place. Create (now!) a home YOU love to be in/at, not for “others”.   *Year of YES by Shonda Rhimes (creator of Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder) https://amzn.to/3uaReYc   Don’t let comparison (you to them) ruin your life… Do what you want, how you want to do it. To really see how what “we think about most becomes our reality”, for better or for worse.   *Finding Your Own North Star by Martha Beck https://amzn.to/47UQhB7   Who are “they” anyway? The people we are afraid will judges and therefore we stay small. Who cares about what “they” think?  Only your ‘social self’ cares, but our essential self can leads us to where we truly want to be. Follow your intuition, what makes you truly happy. *The above links are affiliate links.   IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don’t feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

Alright, so it’s a given we are born with the capacity to do anything we truly want to do in life. Ability is what we must acquire in order to reach different levels of our capacity.   That’s such a simple concept, but too many of let fear get in our way. Let’s talk about the difference between the two and how to take action to improve our abilities. See you inside!   Often we are held back in life because believe we are not capable reaching our dreams, but that’s flawed thinking.   In the movie A Million Milles Away (on Amazon Prime Video now), Jose Hernandez keeps getting rejected by NASA year after and year, and they his wife asks him “What they have that you don’t?” She’s referring to other applicants that have been accepted into the space program.  He then starts to think about what he needs to improve on in order to learn new skills, develop his ABILITIES in order to stand a better change.   He always had the capacity... He needed to work in his abilities.   The same is true for you and for me… what abilities/skills do we need to work on in order to reach a higher capacity?   I’ve seen people struggle in some of these, just as an example: If you’re tech challenged… take up computer science, google things, read books Struggling with a language? Learning a second language that will help you get a better easier job, or help you learn new things faster is a great step to take. Acquiring a new skill associated with your dream of… painting, making jewelry, making toys (toy by polina) Developing new habits that move you towards your goals… health, fitness, etc.   Lastly, and most importantly… Having a DESIRE is KEY… without desire we stay as we are and we will ither away.     IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don’t feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

I could have also title this “tying up loose ends”! Why do I say this?   Because we often dwell on what we “didn’t do”, that we believe we “should have” done. According to cultural norms… what we see on TV, on commercials, etc., or something “someone” said.   First: We need to understand that these are just THOUGHTS.   Solution: We can take steps to address what’s keeping us awake, IF that’s what we want. Such as… Call or text someone Write a note, if that’s what it takes Use Amazon (or any other provider) for gift-giving… Do whatever it takes for you to have peace of mind.   Understand that this is just for YOU… Why do I say this? Because I’ve NEVER been kept awake thinking of how others “didn’t do enough for me today”, so that tells me that if I’m thinking that, it may just be me… MY thoughts.   So do what YOU need to do, for YOU to be at peace.   IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don’t feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

Did you know that most Americans end up or dead broke by age 65? I was shocked when I heard this a few years back!   “What we think, we become.”  – Buddha So if we don’t think about how we’re spending our money we won’t have any.   How much is in your bank account now? How much of what you made last year did you save?   Do you know your net worth? If not, figured this out now and set your mind up to increase it.   Have you thought about how much money you would make in 5 years?   How much you will have in the bank in 10 years? Start doing,  and working on the math on these things now.   How do you spend your money, what assets do you own? Are they appreciating (like real estate) or depreciating (like shoes) assets? Make a conscious effort to be choosy about where you money goes… think BANK!   Are you investing in YOU? You are your best asset… you ARE the asset of your life, invest in your betterment, you’ll always have that!   How much is Netflix really costing you? Not in monthly fees, but in how much more money you could be making, that are not, if you focused on that instead of Netflix’ing?   I love this little book on money (aff.

7 tips to new beginnings… 1.     Start anywhere, just start! Start with whatever is bothering you most… set your mind up to change it! 2.     Start with yourself… it’s really where all our power lies. 3.     At home… our home is a reflection of ourselves. 4.     At work… only second to our home life, but it’s where we earn a living so it’s huge! 5.     With relationships… fix what you can, that’s broken. 6.     Beliefs that hold you back… Let go of beliefs that do not serve you. 7.      Habits that keep you stagnant (think of non-moving water)… The most power lies in how WE talk to OURSELVES.   IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don’t feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!
