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.

How to release Junk that doesn’t work for you anymore
After a crazy January and early February, I’m back and ready to get things rolling again!
I’m healthy, happy and on a mission to get you feeling the same way
I use oracle cards/angel cards/affirmation cards whenever I feel stuck or need some comfort. Yesterday, I thought I’d pull an Angel card to see what is up in the general air and I was very surprised to get the “Release” card (Angel Therapy, Doreen Virtue).
So what does it mean?
Don’t hate toxic people!
from Positive Inspirational Quotes (PIQ) on Facebook
I love this and I think it goes nicely with our Dump The Junk in 2012 theme. It’s not about making the toxic relationship ‘bad’ or creating enemies, it’s about setting a boundary for yourself that tells the world and the universe that you deserve to be treated well. You deserve to be valued. That starts by valuing your authentic self.

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!
