The Secret to Becoming Powerful
I know what I have to do, but I have trouble actually following through.
I have good intentions, but never get around to acting on them.
I’m a social worker. I *know* all of the techniques and teach them to others, yet when it comes to my own life I can’t seem to get it together.
Sound familiar?
Those are some of the reasons that clients approach me.
You want to change, but you never make the time to take the steps to make it happen. Read more
3 Simple Tips to Living an Authentic Life (Guaranteed & You can start right now!)
People seem to think it’s really hard.
Or that it requires practice, or time, or some kind of spiritual awakening.
And that irritates me a little…just enough to write this post to let you know that you can be happy RIGHT NOW–that you can start living an extraordinary, authentic, purpose-filled life RIGHT NOW!
It only requires a few simple things:
- Keep your promises: Don’t make promises you can’t keep. Don’t sign contracts you don’t intend to fulfill. Don’t take appointments that you will cancel and don’t waste other people’s time on a whim, it demonstrates lack of respect for yourself AND the other party. If you say you are going to be available to help your best friend with her wedding invites, be there (and show up on time.) If you say you are ready to work with a coach and you make the commitment, show up fully. Just do it. You’ll feel better and you will strengthen your authentic self…the one who walks her talk!
- Pay your bills on time. Like I said, simple. You’d be surprised how many people don’t do this. Stop spending your money on stuff to fill the void in your life while letting the bills pile up and causing Life Clutter (JUNK!) to make you feel bad. Just stop. (Also see Tip #1 for Why This Works!)
- Listen to your heart, not the Inner Critic. I know this one isn’t a concrete as the first 2, but it’s equally important. You don’t have to believe every thought you think. Just because you’ve always believed you suck at math doesn’t mean you do…it’s quite possible that you’re great at it, but one bad quiz (and a mean first grade teacher) has labelled you a failure. Think you are too old to start a business or go back to school? Think that things will never get better? That’s your Inner Critic and if you learn to tune out those mean stories and concentrate on what your heart says, I guarantee you’ll feel better. Start now.

Let’s get real here…
It started yesterday and runs until December 8th. A revolutionary new look at who we’re being in the world and if we like the person in the mirror.
I used to be as pent up and fake as they come. I was working away at my life To Do list, checking off all the things that I thought would make me happy and working towards a life of resentment, frustration, and stuff!
It wasn’t until I peel back all of the expectations that I’d allowed to build up and dumped the junk covering up my authentic self that I became a happier, healthier person. I had to get raw and real first.
That is what this Virtual Video Summit is about – peeling back the layers that aren’t you. Getting real with what you want. My video runs today, it will help you to stand in your power when you start to change and others don’t like it! Read more
What got you here will not get you there
I hate to say it, but if you don’t like your life (business, relationship, neighbourhood, job….) you are the only one responsible for changing it. That means that you have to do something different, to get different results.
Here is what will happen when you try something different: YOU WILL GET IN YOUR OWN WAY!
