The Transformed You = A Transformed World

When you are transformed the world around you cannot help but be transformed too. If I were a bettin’ gal I would guess right now you are thinking something along the lines of, “that is all fine and good and I know that, but I am the way I am and can’t possibly transform myself- I’ve tried!”

Does that belief really inspire you? I would probably guess no.

How would you like to create something inspiring in place of that old belief? Here’s the skinny on how to do just that and get on the road to a brand new and transformed YOU!

1. The voices in your head: Here is a secret – it’s NOT YOU! That is what we call your ego, or what I like to call your Negative Nelly/Ned. All there is to do is acknowledge those thoughts as they come up, get that they are not you, and let them go. Every time you hear those voices just say, “thanks Nelly/Ned for the input and have a nice day.”

2. Who are you going to be for the world?: The old way isn’t working right? So try something new! Next time Nelly/Ned is rambling on, take over and pick a new way to be. For example, if you are being stressed and worried you could ask yourself, “how would I be if I were being more care-free?” Viola! You will be a new way. Try it!

3. Creating new beliefs: I would like to introduce Positive Polly/Piper. By creating daily affirmations around how amazing and wonderful you are and telling yourself these affirmations consistently every day, you will find Nelly/Ned doesn’t come to visit as often. Now take a minute and notice what Nelly/Ned just told you. They probably are not being nice – it’s ok they like to fib. The truth is that you really are whole, perfect and complete!

Life is not meant to be so darn difficult. We do it to ourselves and when we try out new ways, stick with it and have accountability to it, it absolutely is possible to be transformed! And the icing on the cake – when you transform yourself the WHOLE world around you is transformed and impacted in big ways. You are that powerful! I promise.

If you would like to learn more on transforming your life and how it is possible, please contact me!

Lots of hugs and giggles!

What would the world be like if we all kept our word 100% of the time?

Every time someone breaks their word it effects somebody somewhere and it lets them down in some way. That somebody may be a client, a friend, your significant other, a co worker or more often then not that somebody is YOU. The promise you gave could have been a big promise like "I will help fund your new business," or it could be a small promise like "I will call you back in 30 minutes." Either way when you give your word, you make a promise. You promise to be someone for that person and you promise to honor what you say. Take a moment and think of someone in your life that doesn't keep there word. How does it make you feel? How do you think it truly makes them feel?

Now the bigger question. Do YOU want to be known as a person that keeps their word or one that can not be counted on? I bet I know the answer. You want to be a person of your word! I know I do! Let's look at three ways to keep your word.

1. Do what you say you will do and do what you know to do. If you promise someone that you will do something. Do it! Now when it gets to that day or time and you don't feel like doing it, do it anyway. Also, do the things you know to do even if you didn't say you would do it.

2. Don't make promises you know you can't keep. We have all heard the saying, "under promise and over deliver." There really is something to this. So the next time you need to deliver on something, be reasonable. Don't say something to please someone because you think that is what they want to hear. You will gain much more respect by being truthful and delivering when you say you will.

3. Communicate!! Re-promise ONLY when necessary. It is important not to use this one too much. But if the time comes and you realize you can not do what you said you would do, get in communication immediately and make a new promise that you know for sure you can deliver on.

As I am sure you are starting to gather, when you become a person of your word it empowers you and everyone around you. You create stronger relationships in every aspect of your life and life gets simpler. You also become a person of influence and begin to change your community because you are change. Pretty powerful stuff huh? All by just doing what you said you would do and doing what you know to do.

If you would like to learn more about being in integrity and a person of your word, please contact me! I would be honored to partner with you to hold you accountable to what you say you will do.

With Love! Freedom! Power!

Sayin' it straight

Have you ever noticed how many times you don't say something because you fear the persons reaction, don't want to deal with "conflict", don't want to sound stupid, don't want to sound rude or offend someone, or just don't think anyone cares what you have to say? The excuses can go on endlessly. But all it goes back to is us simply being inauthentic and making the decision that we "just know how they will react."

What I challenge you to look at is that we CREATE all of that. Yes, we create the outcome of every conversation and reaction - even of others. Pretty crazy huh? Think about it, if you go home knowing you have to have a serious discussion regarding something and you tell yourself that you know how the other person is going to react, don't they almost always react that way? It is not because that is just how they are, you are creating it! You are either making yourself wrong, making a decision about them, making a decision for them or have a need to be right.

Next time you have to have a serious conversation or find yourself wanting to say something you just don't think you should say - Just say it coming from a place of authenticity. Let go of all that chatter in your mind saying, they will think I am stupid, they will get mad, they won't like me, they will be offended, I need to prove a point blah blah BLAH. Give it ALL up! You will be astounded by your results!!

So this week give it a try. Be powerful in your communication, give up being right, give up others liking you and BE YOU! We are all unique and beautiful. OH and the best part is we are ALL WHOLE, PERFECT AND COMPLETE!!! Please share how it goes.

I love you all!! Big hugs and kisses!!

MUAHHHH
