Hi.....I need to Vent

Life seems so tough lately. My reality and my future is ever changing in ways that are not within my control and that's been kinda scary.  

This past month alone, I lost a best friend to alcoholism, an uncle to old age and cancer, and just to put a cherry on top, one of my daughters is mad and not talking to me. The holidays just don’t feel as happy as they have in the past, I'm not even putting up a Christmas Tree! My kids are getting older and I feel uncomfortable in my skin some days. :(  

New reality, new stage of life, here I come - like it or not.

I’m more than getting by, having fun times, and building an amazing future but I’m wondering if my new reality and the changes that are coming and those I am creating will ever be enough to feel “normal” again.

Do you understand? Are you feeling that way too?

I keep thinking of the old adages, “The only constant in life is change."

My favorite go to mantra when I'm frustrated, nervous, or scared is "Make it Easy" as I'm taking three very long deep breathes.

So, here’s the other things I do to continue to move forward towards my 3-yr, 1-yr & 90 day goals for my business and my life. 

I’m hoping sharing what I do, will help you too.

1. I mourn the loss of the people in my life whenever I need to. I write about the sadness and let my brain process the losses. I don’t fight it but I do try to limit it daily. When I’m done writing, I switch gears to doing my daily renewal (a form I came up with to help my clients focus the mind on the positive.)
2. I sit quietly and send positive thoughts and energy to three people who I know need positive prayers and energy sent their way for a struggle they are going through.
3. I spend five minutes breathing, clearing my mind, and going through my positive mantra’s that help me be energetic, focused, and in the serving mode for my clients and family. (some people call this meditation)
4. I do my 3 minute MindPT session. (This will take more explanation in the future, I promise to share soon)
5. I connect with someone who knows me well and talk about all the good things that are happening in my life and let them talk about what’s on their mind.
6. I add my to-dos to my calendar so I know they will get done.
7. I plan something fun if I don’t have anything coming up that’s fun enough!
8. Eat right, exercise, take my vitamins.
9. Tell someone that I love them. (a hug is extra special too)
10. I put on music or business building books on tape and start my day of helping other women find their focus, live their passion, and grow their lives and businesses to new heights. - This gives me the most energy and hope of all!

I really love what I do as a Women’s Business & Life Coach and that is what makes me happy, excited, and motivated for the future with limitless possibilities.  

It helps me get through all the other moments in life that I cannot control. That is what happens when you are living your passion!

I was talking to my parents the other day and in that conversation, I realized that I am directing my life to making a living TALKING! Go figure, the one thing I got yelled at non-stop for when I was a kid.  

How many times did I hear “Nancy, please shut up!”, or “You would do so much better in school if you would just stop talking in class!”

OMG…these stories make me laugh! It made my parents laugh so much the other day and when my Mom said she was so proud of me, who knew that at almost 52, I would be so happy to hear those words.

So, the moral of this babble is: If you are not living your passion, haven’t had the guts to take a leap and put yourself out there daily, afraid of what others will think and somehow feel guilty taking care of yourself and your own needs, or growing your business... It’s time to release all that!

2017 is here and it’s your time!

Remember, those who really love and support you will truly want you to be excited, motivated, prosperous and happy. 

Screw everyone else. 

Learning, Sharing, Supporting and sometimes being a drill sergeant to get my clients to move toward their dreams daily is what I do, and I do it quite well! 

How can you take steps daily to move towards your dreams? Or maybe you have to still figure out what your dreams are!

Spread the joy, share your love & knowledge, be genuine and do your best. Know that wherever you are in life, it’s where you are supposed to be and there are lessons in it all.

Tell me your story and let me know what you need and I’ll respond! I love to connect and am here for you.

Hope you have a great day and a productive, stress-free week!
