***The 5 Myths of Extreme Self Care Or what kind of excuses can I come up with today?

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Lao-tzu Eight years ago I was a control freak perfectionist workaholic! I worked 16 hour days, every day. One day, I found myself siting in my car in the parkade and crying. I was tired, sooo tired! Right then and there, I made a decision to change my life. I decided that I needed to take care of me! I decided to take back control of my life and start down a plan that focuses on creating a life that I am madly in love with! I started this journey by learning self love and self care.

From Stress to Calm in 10 Simple Steps

If you are like me, you find yourself busy... home, kids, work, friends and family. All important things, but they can take over. We forget that we need to take care of ourselves. You may find that you are feeling tired, stress and simply worn out. After many years of feeling this way myself, I decided that I had to turn things around. I had to start incorporating things that feed my spirit and added personal energy. We have all heard the infamous quote..."put on your oxygen mask first."

Overcoming Holiday Stress

The major holidays of the year come back to back. During Thanksgiving and Christmas, people spend the most time with relatives. But, as much as we love our family, much of our stress during this time can be due to them along with the actual actions we must perform.

9 Minutes To Sanity

It is 5:25am... on a crisp January morning. The window open slightly so that you can smell the clean, freshness of the morning air. A small breeze makes it way into the room. You are still under the warm, cozy, comfy down-filled blankets, snuggled to your loving partner. It is 5:30am... you reach over and hit the snooze button, not wanting to move just yet, your partner snuggles a little closer. You now have 9 precious minutes....

Calm Mornings, Can they really happen?

How do you find time to create a little piece of calmness in your world? For me it is mornings. I purposefully wake up an hour before I need to be a wake. This allows me to take the time to getting up, I am not rushed, I get my 15-20 minute shower. I mean how often does that happen ever when you have teenagers in the house. I get to eat breakfast, which we all know is the most important meal of the day, you know. I can make lunch, saving my budget. But most importantly I able able to spend 30 minutes in just being quiet.

Passionate and Fully Self-Expressed

"Practice what you preach" "Be your authentic self" "Living in integrity" "Actions speak louder than words" What the heck does that actually mean? In this advanced technical world where most communication is electronic, where you may never even meet your best friend in real life and have a face to face conversation... how do you create a REAL version of yourself. How do you not get caught up in the illusions and exaggeration, how do you live passionately and fully self-expressed?

Time Unmanagement

Is that really a word, "unmanagement" ? "Sorry, we have no matches for unmanagement", well I guess if I can't find the definition on the internet it isn't. But the point of me using the word unmanagement, you can't actually manage time. Do you feel the bolt of lightening? That is correct. You can not manage time! No matter what you do, there is no way to stop time, or slow it down or make it dance.

***Cultivating Courage

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. Nelson Mandela Are your fears holding you back from living? But what is courage, really? Courage is the ability to continue moving forward even in the face of challenge, adversity, and fear. Just as Mr. Mandela says in his quote, it is in the triumph over fear that is courage.

The All Important Opening

A lot of times we get wrapped up in our products. And why not? We've worked for months putting our business together and our products are what people want to buy. When it comes to putting together a sales letter we want to explain every little detail so our prospect can see exactly what they're getting when they make their purchase. Isn't this the way it should be? NO! The customer doesn't care about the late nights you spent meticulously researching your product. The customer wants to know just ONE thing: What's In It For Me?

De-clutter Your Life And Improve Your Confidence

A lot of people carry around with them a lot of “baggage” or “clutter” in their minds. When I say this I mean that they are still holding onto things that they say they should do but don’t, the person who they had a row with but both are not speaking to each other – but both want to, the coulds and shoulds in your life that hold you back – you need to let go, but you don’t. These people carry around with them a lot of emotional attention that you could be doing without and focussing on something more productive instead! Are you like this? If you are, I bet it had a

***Secrets to Inspired Living

Finding inspiration is so much fun! It is not as hard as some people think, you just need to know where you can find it. It is very easy to get stuck in a loop of negativity when you feel like you are searching for something that is eluding you. I totally can relate to this pattern, while I was recovery from a recent surgery, I was stuck on the couch and was feeling very trapped in my own head. While I wasn’t able to get off the couch right away, I could choose to occupy my mind with inspiration material. SO that is just what I did and I was able to work through a amazing “ahh” moment.r

Strong Leaders Are Lifetime Students

Entrepreneurial leaders do not have a mindset that adapts to failure. Things go wrong, of course, but entrepreneurs don’t call them “failures” they call them “glitches, mistakes, bungles, setbacks” – but not failing. When one such entrepreneur was asked about the hardest decision he ever had to make, he answered that he didn’t know what a hard decision was. An entrepreneur will approach decision-making with the idea that there’s a strong likelihood that he/she will be wrong.

Life Coaching + Happiness

Do you think happiness is a state that only a few can achieve? Does Happiness feel like an unending quest that you find yourself on? I believe that a person has never reached true success if he has never felt real happiness. So many people think that happiness only comes after the success, but I believe that happiness comes first. Why Do We Have to Be Happy? I think Happiness is your birth right, it is available to each and every one of us.
