Overcoming fear: how to find the hidden treasures

overcoming fear, find the hidden treasures, generate fear, take action, what causes fear, fear as an emotion, trapped, immobilised, overthinking, healthy fear, acting in spite of fear, the way is through the fear, on the other side of fear

At age 22, I learned my first conscious and intentional life lesson in overcoming fear: you never actually stop being afraid. But that doesn’t have to paralyse you, leaving you frozen and unable to move.

Heights terrified me, anything more than five to six feet off the ground and I froze. As a kid, I still climbed trees, not entirely enjoying the experience, but too proud to admit my fear.

Don’t ask me to clean the gutters or paint the roof. Continue reading Overcoming fear: how to find the hidden treasures

Absolutely love my body at 47 years old!

absolutely love my body, learning to love myself, ideal weight, inner energy, inner eating, emotional eating, stuffing down emotions, creativity, courage, bold, intuitive, committed, in flow, courageous, aware, resilient

More than eighteen months ago, shortly after being certified as an mBIT Coach, I started the process of learning Innergetics with Shirley Billigmeier (author of Inner Eating) and Suzanne Henwood (mBIT Master Coach and Master Trainer). Innergetics takes the process of inner wisdom of mBraining and focuses it onto your relationship with food. I like to say it uses eating as a thermometer of what is happening in your life. So, I chose to study Innergetics because I wanted to focus on my gut-brain (enteric brain). I was regularly suffering from bloating and discomfort, looking to find a way to love my body again.

Imagine your desired life: how to create it

imagine your desired life, thriving, aligned, connected, how to create your perfect life, creating your perfect life

Imagine your life is perfect in every respect: what would it look like? (Brian Tracy)

I'm going to exercise more, New Year's resolutions, life plan, vision boardThis year, I am not making any New Year’s resolutions. I do not promise:

  • I’m going to exercise more.
  • This year will be the year I get healthier.
  • I will lose weight.
  • I’m going to find a hobby and stick to it.
  • I will play more.
  • This year I will start each morning with meditation.

Nope. I have no intention of setting myself up to fail to keep my word because I am hesitant to give my bond unless it aligns with the perfect life that I envision building. Continue reading Imagine your desired life: how to create it

Fundamentals of success: knowing is not enough

fundamentals of success, knowing is not enough, knowledge requires action, applying knowledge, using information and knowledge, creative action, taking action, moving forward, wishing is not enough, called to action

Wherever you look today, you will find information and awareness campaigns. If ignorance were the problem, the information age would have solved everything. Whether you want to look at issues of health and wellbeing, caring for the environment, or simply improving your lifestyle, it seems that knowledge is not enough to bring about change. Knowing is only half the battle.

For example, perhaps you know what kind of diet and food your body responds the best with. What results do you have to show for knowing this?

Or consider your goals and plans for the past twelve months. What did you know had to be done, to you to reach those goals? How much of that did you effectively implement? Continue reading Fundamentals of success: knowing is not enough

Knocked down, but not out! Now get up

knocked down, but not out, getting up after a fall, it's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up, Vince Lombardi, knocked down, but not out, struck down but not destroyed, wounded but not defeated, broken but not defeated, bruised but not broken, get up again, get back up, sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, sometimes you learn, when life knocks you down get back up, getting up after being knocked down, feeling knocked down, how to overcome getting knocked down, steps for getting back up when life knocks you down,

Ever felt that you just had the wind knocked out of your sails, because things don’t go as planned? Perhaps you failed to meet your goals and dreams for 2019, in spite of consistently putting in the effort over the past twelve months. Or maybe, even worse, you have suffered the loss of a relationship, family member or a job. And you feel knocked down when many around you celebrate happily.

The question isn’t will life knock you down – because it will – but rather: how will you respond when it happens?

“Bravery is not found in getting knocked down. Rather, bravery is found is getting back up knowing that you’re going to get knocked down again.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
