How do your choices affect your life?

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and if you haven’t yet met that perfect someone, here are a few quick tips to help you attract him/her into your life.

1. Be authentic/True to yourself-

When you first meet someone, it’s tempting to want to talk about yourself so that you sound impressive. But this can have the reverse effect, and you could come off as self-absorbed. Try to be the one asking questions and really listen. People love to talk about themselves, and they will feel closer to you when they do.

Imagine you could time travel into the future to meet the best most successful version of yourself. You might notice how energetic, healthy, and fit you look, the twinkle in your eye, and a smile so big and bright it would put Miss Universe to shame.

Did you know that you have the power to become thins person? You can start right now.

If you want to begin to increase your potential for massive success, you can follow this guideline of what successful people do differently. 

The information in this post could magically and dramatically change your life. I have spent many hours researching its contents.

First and foremost, I need you to know that I am a skeptic. I used to think Tony Robbins was a cult leader until I began to study his work, and now, I’m learning to master it. My point being, I take everything with a grain of salt until I have done enough of my own research to have a solid conclusion.

I thought about whether or not I wanted to share this message with you. I wasn’t sure it would resonate with everyone.

But…I changed my mind.

There is something magical and mystical about the idea of manifesting, and it seems to be a word more commonly used in today’s society. But what does it mean exactly?

Science has proven that such a thing exists, but I’ll get to that in a moment. First, a personal story of my own experience.

There is a war on drugs, a war on terror, and a war on bullying.

Why is there so much fear, and anger, and hate in the world?

Where did we learn to think and behave this way?

We’ve learned it from our parents, we’ve learned it from society, but primarily we’ve learned it from the media.

You know that feeling. It’s almost a nausea in the pit of your stomach. That feeling of something’s just not quite right. And it leads to the need to chase after something, and maybe you don’t even know what that something is. Maybe you label it anxiety, depression, frustration, or lack of direction. But really it’s that feeling of not enough! And if you could just get that one thing, it would ease some of the stress, pain, or fear.

We all have some bad habits we’d like to get rid of right? Maybe you want to stop smoking, eating sugar, or spend less. You also may have some bad habits affecting your life in a negative way that you aren’t even aware of!  Here are 7 bad habits to ditch in ASAP!

Do you ever wonder what would be possible in your life if you could only boost your self-confidence?

Self-confidence is based on the parts of yourself you choose to look at and amplify.

The building blocks of your self-esteem come from the voices of your primary authority figures from the time you were born through puberty.

Are you the type of person who likes to be extremely informed, prepared, cautious, or have a feeling of absolute certainty before making a big life decision? You may view these traits as assets, but they can actually be killing your progress.

What do you truly desire in life? What’s missing?

Is there something you’ve always wanted to do, see, or become but haven’t taken that first step towards accomplishing your goal? What’s holding you back?

The only thing holding you back from accomplishing your dreams is...

We always hear people say Live in the moment, Live life to its fullest, Live every day like it’s your last. So do any of us actually do it? Most likely we are probably caught up in whatever stories are in our heads. We’re too busy judging people and situations. We are stressing, worrying, and thinking about something that has either already happened or might happen in the future. Instead of being fully present, engaged, and listening without judgment, you are thinking about how you feel and how you’re going to respond. So why is it so important to live in the moment and what does that even mean?

1. I will be happy when…

Many of us do this. We think of a certain event that we want to happen in the future, and we associate our happiness with it. It might be a promotion, an engagement, the birth of your first child, but whatever it is, it’s certainly not preventing you from enjoying life now. You can have goals and aspirations and still be happy in the process. Remember that.

2. You judge yourself or fear others may be judging you

What separates leaders from followers? How are extremely successful people different from those who are content to continue on their path of just getting by in life? What drives us to take action, or no action?

The answer to these questions is the same.

I often get asked the question, “What is a life coach?” or “What does a life coach do exactly?” Here is my answer.

A life coach is someone who helps you get clarity about where you are, where you want to be, and then helps you create an action plan to get there.

I like to describe life coaching like...

1. Avoid the negative news

This can be a tough one because people want to “know what’s going on.” The problem is, the media is filtered and tends to not only tell us what they want us to know, but only focus on everything bad that is happening in the world! If you are someone who is prone to negative thinking, I suggest turning off the news and turning on a comedy!

2. Keep your distance from negative friends and family...

There never seems to be enough time to do all the things we want and need to get done. Why is it that some people seem to accomplish so much, while others struggle just to take care of every day tasks day in and day out?  We all have the same amount of time. We have 24 hours in a day, which gives us 8 hours to work, 8 hours to sleep, and 8 hours left to do whatever we want. What do you do in your eight hours?  I know some of you are thinking “I work more than 8 hours a day!” or “Who gets eight hours of sleep?”  Whatever your situation, most of us can use some extra help improving our time management skills.  Here are 4 ways you can use your time more efficiently.
