3 ways to get unstuck quickly
Why bother, when you just keep failing, anyhow? You set a goal. You watch “stuff” get in the way. You don’t hit the goal. You feel defeated. Rinse, repeat. Why bother, right? The “why bother” response certainly makes logical sense. Have you considered what else might be at play with this response, and what you might do to turn this “failure loop” around? Today I will review 3 three ways that you can get unstuck more quickly. A lot of these sound really easy, and doing them is NOT “really
3 steps to break free of “shoulds”
You should read this! What’s a “SHOULD”? That’s the ‘I should do this, I should do that’ and it’s interesting that there can sometimes be a feeling of guilt. If we are not congruent with what we really want, it’s almost like someone saying ‘calm down’ when you are really angry – it doesn’t really ever work! Well, it’s the same thing that’s happening to you and to me when I say ‘I should …’. Sometimes it’s ‘I should be more like ….’ (you fill in the blank). This could

3 ways to make sure your organizational efforts are not wasted
Secret struggles and their surprising solutions It’s a good time to talk about physical clutter because most of us (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), are still by and large in our homes. We’re not spending quite as much time outdoors. So it’s a beautiful time to really take a look around our homes as it gets a little bit brighter and nicer out because we want to make sure that we’re ready to go outdoors; we’re ready to feel free (not guilty) about doing that. It also helps us
Love, Procrastination, and Becoming Visible: An Unusual Trio
Love really does have magical powers How does LOVE relate to procrastination, mining for your unique gifts and talents, and “getting out there?” Love is the theme of this month for me – and not just for me. As it’s the month of Valentine’s Day, I’m talking about loving yourself, loving your business, loving your vocation and really loving the people that you are around. When you do that, you fill your cup and then you then give of the overflow of love, and you become a vessel of love.
Criticizing yourself for years has not worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.
Te February…the month of Love. Yes, it’s the Hallmark holiday month: Valentine’s Day. Regardless of what you think of Hallmark (I don’t think much of Hallmark) I DO love “love”. How does love relate to you, your productivity, and stepping into your best self, and loving your whole self, including loving up your business self? To quote Louise Hay, “Remember, you have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.” When we approve of ourselves, we now love ourselves. How might

What lights your fire?
What lights your fire? Let me ask you these questions (in full transparency, this came from Michael Bungee Stainer, who I follow regularly): What fills your cup? What lights your fire? What gets your disco ball rolling? You’re a disco glitter ball spinning. Let’s start with what do we love to do – like what do we love? Once we determine what we love, what really gets our disco ball spinning, then it’s time to determine how that relates to our 2023 intention. Remember the beginning of this month? I
Why am I so infrequently wanting to be the person I really am?
I have a bold question for you today: What if the question is not “why am I so infrequently the person I want to be” but rather “why am I so infrequently wanting to be the person I really am?” Wow. Now there’s a question. Victoria Lebalme, Risk Forward. That’s where that question came from. I’m on her email list. Email lists are a good thing when you belong to cool email lists. (Note, I’ll be starting a Daily Email Option sometime in the next month or so…stay tuned.) The
