Monday Morning Musing: Base decisions on your destination

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

Base decisions on where you are going...
not where you have been. 

Even something as mundane as what you will eat for a snack will be affected.

Monday Morning Musing: An Inspirational Environment

 

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

Do you surround yourself with things that inspire you?

Look around the room in which you spend most of your time.  How does the room leave you feeling? Calm and peaceful? Or chaotic and stressed?

Do you need to take anything away to feel better?  Reduce the clutter?  Get rid of anything that doesn't feel good.  Look at what is on the walls and the floor, too.  You might have pictures or art that doesn't feel good or a rug that is worn or doesn't fit the colors that resonate with you anymore.  What about the color of the walls? Does that feel good?

What can you do to add inspiration to the room?  What would feel good?  You don't need to make all the changes in one day so let yourself think big.  What do you really want for your space? New wall colors? Different furniture? Artwork? To get rid of half of what you own? :-)

Be sure that all that you have in your room has either a neutral or truly positive hold on you. If anything reminds you of a hard time in your life or of someone you no longer enjoy, get rid of it!

Note: This musing coming from personal angst. :-) I am feeling cluttered in my physical surroundings.  Therefore, I am embarking on a 30DayDeclutter challenge as of Monday! Want to join me? Let's do it together! Here are the guidelines.

Monday Morning Musing and Feel Good Moment: Maybe strong is what you have left after you have used up all your weak.

 

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

 

Maybe strong is what you have left when

you have used up all your weak. 

Yes, it is true, I am quoting a Saucony commercial.  I LOVE this thought!  I had one of my hardest years ever last year and I know many of you did, too.  There were many times when I thought of giving up, but that was simply not an option.  I had to keep going.  And you know what?  Strong was what I had left when I used up all my weak.  I am stronger, more courageous, and living my purpose more than I have ever in my life.  It was like the year tested my limits in every way.  I was being pushed to believe in my purpose, to trust my Higher Self, to live more fully, to love more deeply.  And, you know what?  I did it!!  Strong was what I had left after I burned away all that weak. 

 

YOU could be here...with me...making powerful changes in your life.

When people work with me, their lives change.  It's that simple.  Are you ready?

monday morning musing: What will you say about yourself one year from today?

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

 

What do you want to be able to say about your life on December 31, 2013
that you cannot say now?

Now that you have begun to dream about your life and what you really want and taken more responsibility for making those changes, and challenged your beliefs around having time to make changes,  what would you like to create in 2013 to get you closer to your Big Dream?  Just so we get this straight, I don't care if you think it is possible or you are capable of it, that comes later.  For now, set your intentions for the year based on what you really want for your life; let the excitement of your Big Dream get you excited about your intentions.  “We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn.” (Henry David Thoreau)  Let your Big Dream be the dawn; start expecting it!

Fourth Assignment: (Although you probably figured this one out! :-) )  What do you want to be able to say about your life?  Is there something you want to have?  A way you want to be?  Think about it and write it down...Did you know:  You are 200% more likely to achieve a goal if you write it down.  You are 400% more likely to achieve a goal if you tell someone.  SO, I would like to support you in achieving this goal!  Add to the comments on the blog post what it is that you want to have by 12/31/13. 

Extra Credit:

• Write down what you want in the positive.  (In other words, not: "I don't want to be fat." Instead: "I want to be fit and vibrant."  Not: "I don't want to be in debt." Instead: "I want to be financially free.")
• Write it down in your calendar at the beginning of each month. (Use the calendar I created – My Inspirational Year – to have my support all year round!)
• Now, is it something that takes a multitude of action steps (such as find a new job)?  Or is it one step (such as exercise daily)?  If it takes a multitude, write down your next three action steps.  If it is one, write down that one step.
• Finally, when will you do it?  Ummm...what about now?  It doesn’t matter if your one action step takes a few moments or a day, doing one thing within the first 24 hours of setting an intention is a powerful step toward moving toward accomplishing your goals.  Now, be sure to set aside a regular time each day/week/month (whatever is necessary) to keep going!  (Here are some thoughts I wrote awhile ago on finding time to expand whatever it is you want to expand!)

A little inspiration for your resolutions...

Monday Morning Musing: It is time to dream

 

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

It is time to dream.

Let's keep going preparing for the new year and creating resolutions that are truly transformational.  Now you need to let yourself dream.  What do you really, really, really want?  Have you ever let yourself dream?  What gets you excited?  What would you like to be, do, or have if anything was possible?  A goal needs to be high enough to get yourself excited. "The greater danger for most of you lies not in setting your aim too high and falling short; but in setting your aim too low, and achieving your mark." (Michelangelo)  This year is your year...it is time to aim high!  Set your sights on your Extraordinary Life and nothing else.  What do you really want?
 

Third Assignment:  Give yourself time to dream today, even for a few minutes.  (It can be a lovely way to use commuting time!)  What makes you feel good?  What have you always wanted to do?  What part of your life could use some loving attention to make some changes?

monday morning musing: finding gratitude

 

MUSE UPON THIS:

Living an Extraordinary Life #4 means feeling gratitude for my life and all I have.

 

Did you know feeling grateful means always being focused on what is good in your life?  My clients often say, "I practice gratitude.  I know I am good here."  Pay attention.  You’d be amazed how often you are focused on the negative.  Anytime you are thinking about what you don’t want, “I don’t want to talk to my mother-in-law.”  “I don’t want to sit in traffic.”  “I don’t want to brush my teeth.”  You are not in a grateful state.  There is much to be grateful for in our world.  Find everything!

Follow the musings for the next few weeks as I take you through all the signs of Living Your Extraordinary Life and give you ideas for stepping more authentically into yours!!  Here's a recap of what I have covered so far.  Living an Extraordinary Life means:

1. Letting my light shine bright and bold.
2. I know what I want to do in my life - at least the next step.  And I have a plan to take it.  I will not allow time to pass and not know what happened to it.
3. I know my values and what I need to do to live them fully.

 

STEPPING INTO YOUR EXTRAORDINARY LIFE:

monday morning musing: I know my values and what I need to do to live them fully

 

MUSE UPON THIS:

Living an Extraordinary Life #3 means knowing my values and what I need to do to live them fully.

The values I am referring to here are your core values, those qualities that make you uniquely you.  Chances are you know what you value, such as family, friends, love in our lives, but that doesn’t make them a core value.  They don’t make you uniquely you.  When you know what is really important to you to keep you authentic, it is much easier to know what you need to do in any one moment, from the mundane decisions such as what to eat, to the bigger ones, whether to take a new job or get married.  Not sure what makes you uniquely you?  Ask family and friends who know you well, they’ll tell you!

Living an Extraordinary Life #2 means I know what I want to do in my life - at least the next step.  And I have a plan to take it.  I will not allow time to pass and not know what happened to it.

  

We have all experienced less conscious times in our lives when we all of a sudden realize that months, even years, have passed and we haven't done what we wanted to do with our lives.  It is almost always never too late to start.  Perhaps your ability to be an astronaut has passed you by, but you can still write a book (Sisters Bess and Sadie Delaney wrote their first book together at age 104.  Sadie went on to write another at 107!), start a major international company (Louise Hay began Hay House International, a major publication company, at age 60!), or take Yoga Teacher Training (my oldest applicant so far? -- 72 years!)  Not sure what you want to be when you grow up?  Then actively seek out answers.  See lives you envy and figure out why. Ask friends, read books, hire a Life Coach!  Get going and change your life!

monday morning musing: What are you waiting for?

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

What are you waiting for?

‘Til the weekend?  ‘Til you retire?  ‘Til you have enough time/money/support?  Isn’t it time?  Toni Morrison wrote her first great novel from scribbles she wrote on scraps of paper, sometimes while standing in line at the grocery store.  She was a single mom working full time at the time.  President Obama finds time to work out regularly.  Oprah came from poverty...  What’s your excuse now?

Keep your eye on your goal, whatever it is.  Feel it.  Smell it.  Imagine it right here right now and watch how magically it unfolds before your eyes.  The Universe is like that and your heart wants to live its dreams.  Time magically opens up, money appears, people come to help, you get greater ideas.  It really works.  I have seen too many miracles in my own life and the lives of my clients not to believe it.  What life are you waiting for?  Your life is right now...remember to live it!
