Trust your gut
If you know me, you know that I’m a bit of a paradox. I am quite the softy, liking things that are beautiful and warm and fuzzy. I’m also quite stubborn and can be ‘spunky’ as one friend put it (a polite way of saying I will call you on your ‘stuff’.) I am scientific, analytic and very into ‘how and why’ of life. So when I go into ‘softy’ mode, it can surprise people. I’m going into woo-woo land just a bit today, even though I’m against ‘fluff’, when it comes to trusting your gut and using your intuition (in business and in life) it’s not fluff…it’s just smart!
I’m reading ‘listen‘ by Lynn A. Robinson right now. It’s about trusting your gut in times of adversity, and it’s a great book. I’ve read lots of book on intuition, but this is definitely written for a ‘spunky’ softy like myself, who loves to ask ‘Why’ and ‘How.’
You are full of magic, and all the answers you need are within, if you know how to ask and what to look for.

If life is hard, you’re doing it wrong
Thoughts on that title, anyone?
I have been doing a lot of reading for my upcoming Premium Call next week and one specific resource has me thinking and re-evaluating everything!
I’ve had this thought before
If life is hard, you’re doing it wrong.
In fact, I have a few acquaintances who continually complain and whine but don’t actually do anything to change it, and this is what I think when they start in on their story and try to suck my energy.
Yep, it’s a little callous, but isn’t it true? I mean, if the LoA is for real (and it is, at least in my life, and I’m not special) then it must be true.
We’re all handed different situations and circumstances. Some people are “luckier” that way than others, but you’ll find people in the worst situations that are relatively happy and some that are in the best situations that are suicidal. Which causes me to draw the conclusion:
Life is what you make it…if it’s hard, you’re doing it wrong.
I have a few suggestions to help you change from feeling “hard” to feeling “happy.” (Oh, and they only work if you actually do them, so don’t just read them and then complain that they didn’t work!)
- My favorite new way to turn my energy around is called a “Focus Wheel.” I recommend this process to clients like crazy! It is hard enough to explain over the phone, and nearly impossible to describe via a blog…so I’ll just send you to a video I found that does a good job of explaining it for me: Click HERE. It’s a simple way to change your perspective and take something that is creating resistance (aka uncomfortable, unhappy feelings) and focusing on what IS working. I love it!
- Take a break and have some fun! Sometimes life gets a little intense, that is when I take time out and do something fun. Lately this involves my dog, but it can mean calling a friend, watching a funny movie or working out. Kids and animals have this magical ability to make everything good again. Put the laundry down, grab your best friend and go for a walk. Reminisce about funny events from your past, it works wonders for your spirit!
- Breathe! When I get tense, my breath gets shallow. When I was counselling (in my previous life) I saw it in my students, too. In fact, I actually taught one to breathe properly and that alone changed her attitude completely. Think of it as a literal “breath of fresh air,” into your life. It’s moving old stale energy out, and bringing in new life. Take a few moments to breathe deeply and contemplate life. Maybe ponder the thought, “In 5 years will I remember this situations and will it matter?“
Those are just a few of things ways I instantly change my perspective when I’m thinking life is too hard. If those don’t work, you’ll have to dig a little deeper. Possibly you’re on the wrong path and your authentic self is trying to tell you something! Maybe you have too much “junk” in your life. Whatever it is, you have all the control in the world to change your perspective. If you need some support, grab my Authentic Self toolkit. It has some free stuff to help you get started.
