Who & What Shapes your Life

, , 0

Who and what you listen to is shaping your life.
Who said you are not good enough? Who said you won’t make it? Who said you can’t ? Who said you’re not smart enough? Who said you’re not pretty enough?Who said you don’t fit in? Who said you’re not loved? Who do you believe? Who are you listening to? Who is responsible for living your life? 
WHAT DO YOU SAY?


The voices you are listening to dictates how you’re living your life. The voice you give your attention to and you hear above the noise. If the voice is uplifting, affirming, challenging and empowering – life.  However, if the voice is degrading, demeaning, discouraging and leave you doubting yourself –  death. It could be your parents, siblings, boss, friend, family, present or ex partner, teacher, or yourself? The person behind the voice influencing your thoughts (if not your own) doesn’t have to be in your life to still impact your life. 

Their voices are like seeds planted in your min, taken root and producing thoughts of doubt, fear, low self worth, and limiting belief . Every day we’re faced with choices and our actions within that day usually is connected to which voice we listen to. What’s the pull?
If you’re living your life based on anything that keeps you locked in fear with a bruised or damaged self-image, you have to take action to stop the self-destruct. You have the strength and ability to break the cycle and begin a new chapter to experience a better outcome by choosing to start cultivating the art of paying closer attention to who and what you’re listening to.
It’s never too late to buy into what will feed and nourish your soul. Turn that energy of drain into gain.


It’s time to start saying NO to what isn’t serving you and start saying YES to what will serve you well.
You get to choose, step into owing this area of your life.  The courage you need to do is present, it shows itself when you take action.  To get started I encourage you to answer the questions listed at the beginning of this article. Listen to your inner self. What is the message your heart is telling you? Once you do, self-awareness rises to identify your who and what. The next step you’ll begin the process of re-establishing your truth about yourself by turning your heart and ears towards what will nourish your soul.


Rise strong from the inside out.

Be Better Believe in Yourself

0

It really doesn’t matter how much you know. How knowledgeable you are. How many books you’ve read. How educated you are. What matters is do you believe in yourself enough to do something with the knowledge you’re accumulating. If you apply the knowledge, then it’s an investment that’s working for you.
If you choose not to believe in yourself and talk only about your accolades, then the time and money used to invest is now a loss. A deficit. If you choose to do nothing you bury what you have – again valueless.
Knowledge isn’t power. Only knowledge that’s applied becomes power and belief is the driving force of knowledge.
We don’t act on the knowledge because we doubt our ability, we live tied to what happened in the past, or what someone may have said.
Sow what you want to reap and whatever else shows up that’s a roadblock find a way through, over, under or around it.
Do something to get somewhere!
Do something to become better!
The knowledge you and I have is seed waiting to be planted. Maybe today you need to plant the seed of self belief to be empowered so you can invest the knowledge you have and begin reaping your harvest.

A Better You and Me

, 0

Hi new followers – a huge thank you and appreciation for connecting with me. Here are a few personal share about me.

I’m a PD junkie. Coffee. Hooked and High on working out. It fuels my creativity and health. Love reading. It fuels my growth Life long learner. Crazy in love with my spouse and dog. Direct. Passionate. Caring. Keep it Real.

As an internal growth coach my focus is to help women become a better version of themselves.

It’s about improving the state of our being to lead a better quality of life. The work/life harmony we all want.

So, what does that really mean? To achieve continual long term satisfying results…

We must become reacquainted and reconnected to our internal state. The essence of who we are. The core or whatever you might call it.

How we communicate, live, behave and think flows from within/inside. From there we get the external state – how we show up/live and interact with others.

I’ve been doing this work for a long time. The first student I enrolled was me. And I am still that student. Over the years I’ve come to understand and experience the difference between quick short term fix to progressive long term continual gains and success.

External doing focus = quick short term fix

Internal being focus = progressive long term continual gains and success

I’ve experienced both and the latter is better.

I

promise you this – I will continue to share new, old, current content I am living/learning. What has worked/working for me and my clients. With one focus – To improve your state of BEing to lead a better quality of life. I’d love to hear from you DM me!

Best you Always

Diane

It Wasn’t What She Signed Up For

, , , , , , 0

It wasn’t what she signed up for, but what she ended up with was transformational from the inside out. I’ve never shared stories and pictures about clients in my blog posts, aside from testimonials. However, my client Bev’s journey validates a truth we know, but usually don’t practice. The truth about how our thoughts affect our lives and how we can influence our mindset to achieve the change we seek. With her permission here is part of her story.

Like all initial consulting calls I take the potential client through a series of questions and a “Where U At” checklist looking at the key areas of life to get an overview to see what’s present day priority, what’s important and what’s not and why not.  Bev wanted us to work together on her resume and next career move. During our first coaching call it was clear – building a resume and next career path wasn’t the real need after all.  

Internal check in reveals our truth!

Sometimes what’s most important lies silent and hidden and is only discovered and awakened when certain questions are asked. Self awareness provided clarity for Bev as our coaching sessions evolved. Her mindset was reset, her thought pattern began to change, her outlook realigned to match her belief and her actions propelled her to achieve external results.

It’s clear, we can choose to adjust our thoughts to match our action and realign the external to reflect what’s going on internally. Whatever key area of your life needs change – big or small. It can happen. It starts from the inside out with an internal check in.

Bev not only reconnected to herself in a deeper way, she regained her courage, confidence, focus, and love for herself…healthier mindset and body. 

What about you?  Do you find yourself in need of support beyond what a trusted friend or family member has provided? You just can’t put your finger on what’s needed to get your professional career life levelling up, your relationship revived, your care for self ignited? Your situation isn’t a lost cause and all hope isn’t lost. Stop buying into the “I can’t” because you have what you need to achieve what you really want. I’d love to help you tp

When Life Gets Messy Do This

, , 0

If only it was so easy to close our eyes and the mess would…poof disappear. There are different types of mess – the ones we see with our physical eyes, and the ones we don’t see. The emotional mess.
The Physical Mess – At work there’s either a messy drawer or folder with stuff we need to eventually sort through. Our vehicle can be messy, and at home we have a drawer or closet that contains things we’re not sure what to do with, or know but can’t be bothered or it isn’t a priority to deal with. So, we shove it in our “junk drawer/closet”and when company comes the word is – you don’t want to go in there:)
I’m not a fan of physical mess because I find it inhibits my ability to enjoy my environment and be creative. I’m most certainly not a fan of emotional mess as I’ve experienced the crippling effect it has on my mind, body and behaviour. Sorting through it provides me the freedom to be happy, healthy and with how I live my life.

Your silver lining is only a decision away

The Emotional Mess – Are the ones we carry internally like a ghost invisible to others, but we’re fully conscious of its presence. The type that stems from loss that was tragic, unexpected. The ones that blindsides leaving us shocked, stunned and shattered. The way we’re inhumanely treated. The weight of emotional mess isn’t easily measured, but we find a way to cope. We medicate on food, drugs, alcohol, shopping, gambling and cheating. Behaviours that brings temporary relief. And sadly that mess impact those we love. Not because we don’t care, but because we haven’t yet found another way.
Hear me, you don’t have to continue living in that mess. Your enslavement to habits can be broken. Like the physical mess, you take the time to sort through it. You work through it.
So it can be when dealing with emotional mess. Decide to take time and money if necessary to invest in sorting through it. You and only you get to decide when “enough is enough”.

Living with emotional mess has never served you – you know that. Your behaviour to cope isn’t serving you – you know that. It is slowly destroying you, interfering with your work performance, deteroting the love you share and alenitating meaningful friendships.
Today I encourage no, I implore you to make the decision to begin the journey of cleaning up the mess in your life. Tired not because you’ve had a hard day at work, tired because of the emotional mess is dragging you down.
This is your time to level up. Get better. Remove habits that are self-destructive and move into being healed, free, strong again, and yes, alive again. Time to restore your wellbeing and relationships important to you.
You can!

What Are You Doing With What You Know?

It is Time to Quit

, 0

 

Quitters are for losers and quitters never win. Right? Not quite!

If that’s the message you’re been listening to and believing then I’d like to suggest you might want to consider chucking that belief.

Quitting isn’t a bad thing and you’re not a failure for quitting when the following applies. Quit when

  1. You’re doing something to please your parents or significant others and you’re not happy
  2. You’re in a unhealthy and toxic relationship
  3. Quit habits that’s having a negative impact on your physical health
  4. Quit social media when that’s your main source of interacting in meaningful relationships
  5. Quit spending money you don’t have and improve your financial wellbeing
  6. Quit the self-destructive and limiting talk
  7. Quit feeding on what’s destroying your mind and body
  8. Quit believing you can’t

Make the decision to quit being caught up in what’s not serving you well.
Because your life can be better. You an feel good about yourself again. You can be happy. Start now, yes in this moment and begin your break through today.

Expectancies are Tied to Decision Making

, , 0

 

Whatever decisions we make we live with the outcome. Sometimes the outcome over delivers or under deliver on our expectations.

Either way we own it, learn and grow from it.

When decisions are made it’s always done with the end result in mind.

We make decisions to feel good. We do it on a whim. We do it for instant gratification. We do it for short and long term gain. We do it to improve our mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, social and financial state. We do it to help add value to others, we do it for love, and we do it for selfish gain…get even, inflict revenge or prove something to someone.

There is always an outcome attached to every decision made. The outcome is the end result. The process is the expectancy stage.

For example, I made the decision to reintroduce meditation back in my life. I did so because I remembered how beneficial it was to my wellbeing when practiced. I was more centered, less stressed and more patient.

I set the tone of what I was expecting and began the process. Today, meditation is a habit in my life.

What I expected began to manifest only when I took the initiative to act on my decision.

What decision do you need to make that will enhance the quality of your life or someone else?

What’s stopping you from doing it?

You have the opportunity to change that starting now. Take a step to act on that decision and you will begin the process of bringing to life the expectation of that decision.

I challenge you today to make a decision that will either enhance the quality of your life or someone else. It can be walking briskly for 30 min a day, practicing meditation for 2 mins, reading one book before year end, playing a sport with your kid, exercising with your partner, eating healthier, saving 10% of your pay check or something else you have been putting off.

Ditch the excuses. Get started today.

Best You!
