Tuesday Truth or Dare: It's an Inspiration Thing

Truth:  Over time we lose touch with what inspires us.  We may have forgotten why we do what we do or what is was that inspired us when we were growing up.  Inspiration trumps motivation.  

You can't motivate yourself to do something if you're not inspired to do it!

Success in achieving your dreams and goals begin with inspiration.  Once you get back in touch with what inspires you, motivation will be ready, willing and able.

You had a dream and then life happened and then worry and stress crept in and sucked the life out of your dreams.  No dreams + no inspiration = no motivation.  

Dare:  Let's get your Inspiration back!  Time to reclaim your passion and look forward to achieving your dreams.

Sit somewhere quiet - just you + your thoughts and write your Love List.  Include all the things, people and concepts you are attracted to, passionate about and interested in. Don’t limit yourself.

Take opposite action - this is lots of fun and gets you moving in the right direction.  Very often, what we most feel like doing is not what would help us the most. So if you’re having low energy – you often feel like hanging out at home, while getting out and doing something actually would be more helpful. The same thing goes for feeling uninspired – we often don’t feel like doing anything. So whatever it is you want to be doing right now – try experimenting with doing the opposite. Sometimes doing something you’ve never done before will excite and ignite you like nothing else.

7 day Challenge: 

Wake up and smile!

Write your big, bold Love List 

Create an Action Plan to achieve 

One of Your Love List items

Take Opposite Action at least once 

+ Write down the positive impact it had on you

Make it a Great Day!

Keep, Edit, Delete, Add: 4 Steps to Being You & Living Authentically

What is Authentically Me?

The authentic self is the real, genuine you. It is the you that is buried deep and is the very core of your being. The authentic self is a culmination of all things that are you – knowledge, talents, skills, attitude, and perspective. 

It isn’t defined by your placement in a family unit or career.
Finding the truth about who you really are and what is important to you takes honesty, awareness, and some time.

How Can I Be Authentically Me?

Keep:  These are the things in your life you will prioritize over everything else.  You can and probably will increase them over time.  

Questions to find what to keep:

• What is working in your life?
• What brings you joy?  Lights you up?
• What and who lets you be your true self?
• What is moving you forward towards the life you crave and envision?

Edit:  Some things, people and relationships we love and care about but they just need some tweaking or editing to make them shine.

Questions to find what to edit:

• Do you want to lessen your time spent on them?
• Do you feel stress when you think about spending time with a particular person?  Or in a certain situation?
• Do you crave a new way forward?  In your job? In your relationship?  In your life?
• What can you edit to bring your roles and commitments into alignment with your values and priorities?

Delete:  The biggest part of living authentically is not being passive about how your life unfolds!  Deleting is the most difficult step but it is also the one that will have the greatest impact on your life moving forward.

Questions to find what to delete:

• What do you need to let go of?  Make use of the Worksheet to really get to the heart of what needs to go.
• What is not "you"?
• What is standing in your way?

Add:  The benefit of having edited or deleted things from your life that were not in alignment with your authentic self and your personal life's vision, is that you have freed up time, energy and resources for things and people that matter to you.

Questions to find what to add:

• What has been missing from your life?
• What goals can you add to bring you closer to your authentic self?
• How can you bring more of the real you into your day-to-day life?
• How can you add joy and laughter to your everyday life?

Being authentic and living your passionate, amazing life, is about choosing.  You can choose to keep, edit or delete and then you can add all the great stuff that has been missing.  Once you clean up the mess and add the good stuff, you are living authentically.  

Living a truly Authentic Life means that you can:

Love yourself  * Forgive yourself  *  Accept yourself  *  Be Good to Yourself

Tuesday Truth or Dare: It's an Intention Thing

Truth:  Waking up in the morning we have the opportunity to set our intention for the day.  Actually, it's a gift we are given.  You open your eyes, stretch and start your day. But here's the sad truth; the majority of people wake up and immediately have cranky negative thoughts.  I hate my job, work sucks, I'm broke, I hope that nasty woman doesn't phone today, I'm feeling fat, blah, blah, blah.  

When you wake up and immediately start your day thinking about all the perceived bad things in your life, you successfully set your intention for your day to negative and ugly. Guaranteed you will have an awful day!

Dare:  Wake up and set your intention to positive!  Wake up and smile - you're still here and that's a good start!  Smile and think about all the goods things that will happen today:  I'm meeting my friend for lunch, my boss is out of town for the day - woot woot, I'm going to make a plan to fix my finances, I feel good, I have good health, I will enjoy some great music on the way to work.  Set your intention dial to positive.  

7 day Challenge: 

Wake Up and Smile!

Set your intention dial to positive

Create 3 positive scenarios for the day and 

focus on those when your mood starts to turn negative

Make it a Great |Day!

Tuesday Truth or Dare: It's a Should Thing

Truth:  Should is one of the dirtiest words in the English language.  It's only outcome is making you feel horrible about yourself, your abilities, your intentions, what you chose to wear today!  Oh, and shouldn't is equally as bad.  Must and mustn't or the older version - ought and oughtn't are the same. So don't even think about changing should for a must or ought!

Shoulding all over yourself creates a negative mindset.  Period. When you think you should do something or other, your immediate emotions are guilt and anxiety because you're not doing what you think you "should" be doing.

Dare:  Listen to your shoulds and shouldn'ts.  Write them down and change should for want or will or can.  For example, if you are shoulding about losing a few pounds, or quitting smoking, or having lunch with someone you really don't like, then change your words to:

I want to or will lose 5 pounds by the end of the month

I will cut down from 20 cigs a day to 5 by the end of the month

I will call her and we'll meet for a nice breakfast

7 day Challenge: 

Commit to listening for your shoulds and shouldn'ts!  

When you hear yourself shoulding, immediately change to a positive action word - want, will, or can!  

GRACE-ful Steps: Time to Release & Let it Go

Last week I wrote about the Gratitude - the first GRACE-ful step to reclaiming your big, bold life.  Now that you have added gratitude to your daily life, you're ready to move on to GRACE-ful Step 2 - Release - Let it Go!

I bet you're holding on to all kinds of negative junk.  The junk you're holding on to is cluttering your mind and your path forward.  Yeah, that's the truth!

The things you hold on to, bear grudges or perhaps feel angry and hurt about cloud your mind and prevent you from being the best you can be.

They are baggage.  Heavy, overloaded baggage.  The kind you would pay extra for when you travel.  And the kind you are paying a hefty price for right now!

You’re so much more than 

your old baggage.

It’s time to let it go.

You want to free yourself from your baggage and get on with living.  I know this from personal experience.

I was holding on to junk that had been handed to me during a violent relationship.

I had bags containing anger - at him, at me, at people who should have rescued me.

I had bags containing guilt - my children saw some of the bad stuff, my family kinda warned me and I didn't listen and these bags led to new bags filled with:  AnGer!

And so the spiral went and I truly believed this would be my state of mind for the rest of my life.  I was a victim and victims are angry and depressed and guilty. Aren't they?

The things you hold onto, bear grudges or perhaps feel angry and hurt about cloud your mind and prevent you from being the best you can be.

You don't need to know HOW to let go, 

you just need to be WILLING.

Action Steps & Worksheet:

Releasing & Letting Go begins with 2 questions:

What Do I Need to Let Go Of?

How Do I Benefit From Holding On?

Create a list of what you need to let go of and right beside each one, write down the reason you're holding on to that emotion, feeling, person, situation.

Be brutally honest with your Reason!  Releasing and Letting Go will only happen when you're honest about your motivation for holding on.

The reason will be your aha moment!  It will provide you with insight into your "why" and that's the moment you will begin to Let it Go!

Deep Breath  -  Let it Go  -  Smile  -  Repeat
