Do you struggle with starting things or going after those much desired goals because you are afraid of FAILURE?

Or

Are you worried about people thinking your failed?

The truth is with the exception of something with scientific measure we only really fail when we have not met up to our own expectation of what we expected to achieve.

Today I share with you some key tips on how to overcome this fear of Failure

Key Take aways

1. Figure out what is truly driving this fear of failure. What are you afraid of?

2. Reframe your beliefs or how you are thinking about a goal. Do you have an all or nothing attitude? Your goal should allow you have accomplishments and allow you to learn at the same time. If you can achieve both you are less like to feel like you failed.

3. Pay attention to your self-talk. Identify the triggers for negative self-talk and replace with positive thoughts and affirmations.

4. Visualize all possible outcomes to help remove uncertainty

5. Look at the worst case scenario. This helps to be prepared and remind us that discomfort is temporary

6. Have a back-up plan. Since we have thought out worst case scenarios we can have a plan to react or avoid these.

7. Learn from whatever happens. If we are always learning then we are always growing. We are then more likely to try again.

8. Get out there and do the thing. Action is power. Action brings clarity. Things not going as planned does not mean we failed.

Imagine how much easier life would be if you didn’t have to try to be something or someone you are not? We would be less energetically depleted. We would be surrounded by people who are energetically matched to us. We would feel better about ourselves. The world would be more abundant.

There are the crafty folks out there who thrive on designing or creating the perfect birthday party for their kid while there are others who find it easier just to have someone else bake that special cake or to put together simple birthday party for their child.

There are those people who love to put together graphs and charts and documentation to prove their point while there are others who just like to speak to the topic at hand.

There are people who love to run marathons while others just want to relax on the couch watching a movie.

Those who love to cook and those who don’t.

Some people love to be the centre of attention in front of the camera constantly creating content or entertaining while others prefer to be behind the scenes creating and sharing in a different way.

My point is that we are all different, we all have different tastes and personalities so why do we feel the need to try and do things the same way as others do. Just because something works well for someone else does not mean it will for you. In fact if it is forced or doesn’t feel good the energetic vibration that gets attached to that will not be the one you want and therefore it will not attract the right people.

Key Take-Aways

1. Let it be easy

2. Your vibe attracts your tribe

3. We are not meant to all be the same or do things the same

4. It gets to be fun

5. It just feels better

After hearing so many people talk about their experience and the benefits of salt soak therapy I decided to give it a try.

For those who haven’t heard of a salt float it is a type of Sensory Deprivation Therapy using Flotation therapy via an I-SOPOD float tank which is a lightless, soundless tank filled with highly concentrated Epsom salt water heated to skin temperature. Floatation is simply the act of relaxing in a floatation tank; with all sights and sounds removed, and drifting into a meditative state that rejuvenates the mind and body. The tank is filled with a high concentration of Epsom Salts which raises the density and buoyancy of the water.

The main benefit of using a sensory deprivation tank is to ease mental anxiety and muscle tension. Due to how buoyant the Epsom salt and water solution is, you can fully relax all of your muscles when floating. This is similar to experiencing zero gravity.

Some other benefits are

· Provides Relief From Stress

· Makes The Immune System Stronger

· Helps You Absorb Magnesium ( which has a multitude of its own benefits)

· Helps You To Sleep Better

· Betters Your Learning Skills

· Helps Adjust Your Behavior

· Helps You Relax

· Synchronizes Your Brain

· Reduces Pain

· Helps You Focus

· Sharpens Sensitivity

· Encourages Creativity

· Enhances Athleticism

· Reduces High Blood Pressure

· Can Enhance Skin & Hair

· Provides An Escape From Technology

Key Take-Aways

1. Be open to new things to help you heal, relax or just fill your cup.

2. Be willing to try new things.

3. Actually DO new things and then share your experience with others.

You are in control of your own life. Everything you do is the result of a decision you have made.

You choose:

Do I get out of bed today?

Do I go to work today?

How do I want to feel today?

What will I wear?

What will I eat?

The list is literally endless.

This choice also includes getting to decide how long you feel things, how long you let things keep you feeling a certain way or how someone gets to make you feel.

You can decide life is happening FOR you and not TO you. Decide you are done letting things bring you down, done feeling tired etc.

Realizing this helps you to realize that you can change your circumstances or your life at any given moment.

Key Take-Aways

1. What decisions do I need to make?

2. How do I want to feel?

3. What are the possible options/outcomes?

4. Choose the option that will bring you closest to the feeling you are trying to achieve.

Today we talk about the most important relationship in our lives. The one we have with ourselves.

If we are not connected, aligned and at peace with ourselves we cannot be that for anyone else.

When we open ourselves up to self-love, self-care and self-compassion we open the door for others to do the same and we end up in mutually beneficial relationships where everyone is living with a full cup.

Key Take-Aways

1. Allows us to shine the light so others can find their way to do the same

2. Allows us to make decisions from a place of love and intent for ALL not just for OTHERS

3. We are less likely to end up feeing burned out, anxious, depressed, sad, or angry

4. Will have more energy and vibrancy to show up and care for ourselves and others.

Wouldn’t life be better if we could stop trying get the feelings we desire by chasing them at the end of an outcome but instead learn to create those feelings daily?

If we could stop comparing and trying to get them by doing what others are doing? We are not living the same path or life purpose so that won’t work for us.

If we could learn to fall in love with the process and progress along the way we would be living a much more fulfilling life.

Key Take-Aways

1. We don’t know the steps others had to take to get where they are

2. When we chase a goal and we get there we often end up with the ok I got here and now what feeling

3. We are all on our own individual path

4. We have the power to create the feeling we want anytime we want it

When you think of setting a New Year’s Resolution what do you think of? To most people it is about changing things to break bad habits. To me that makes me think of being broken.

Let me be the one to say it. We are not broken. We are growing. How can we be more gentle and more positive with ourselves?

Let us create intentions of how to bring something better into our life instead.

Last year I started this new process with a lot of other folks by choosing an action word instead. This word can serve as a gentle reminder of your intention and can be used to help make decisions moving forward. Reminding you of what you wanted for your life rather than what you think is broken.

Key Take-Aways

1. Take some time to be quiet and get in tune with yourself. Reflect on the past year and what you would rather see for the upcoming year.

2. Make a list of words that pop into your head that reflect what you want to bring into your life.

3. Review your list. Do you see a theme?

4. Start to reduce your list of words to a few.

5. Sit with those words and feel into which one feels the best to you.

6. Ways to find words – google, look into your numerology and energetics, meditate, tap on it etc.

7. Post that word everywhere as a gentle reminder of what you are calling into your life.

No is a complete sentence. So often we go through life being afraid to say no to people for many different reasons: fear of disappointment, rejection, obligation to name a few.

What ends up happening is we burn ourselves out or we end up feeling like we are not enough and are forever in the phase of people pleasing and self-doubt.

Key Take-Aways

1. You are enough

2. People will appreciate you when you say no to them

3. Its ok to not always fit in

4. We cannot control what others think of us no matter what we try to do

5. Your happiness is just as important as everyone else’s

We all make excuses from time to time. This is a simple habit we use to rationalize “why” we didn’t follow through on a specific commitment or why something didn’t go the way as planned.

Key Take aways

1. Excuses are there to make us feel better about why we are not doing something we should or want to be

2. Excuses can be limiting belief’s in disguise

3. We can get stuck in a pattern of excuses or feeling sorry for ourselves rather than doing what we need to do.

Playtime isn't only for the children.  As adults we need to take more time to play.

What does play time look like for you?

Key Take aways

1. Play helps bring out your creativity

2. Play can release or move stagnant energy

3. Play helps fill your cup

We so often go through life looking for an easy fix, an easier way or a short cut to the other side.  When times get hard or something appears to hard we run from it or we give up and quit.

The truth of the matter is that no one ever promised us life would be easy.  Easy is an illusion.

Growth, change and reward comes from going through the hard and coming out the other side.  It comes from being willing to learn, being willing to change and being willing to face things as they come to you.

If you can learn to face the hard and instead of asking why me, why now or how will I do this?  Ask yourself what is the lesson I am meant to learn from this?  How can I embrace this lesson? What can I do to get myself through this?  

Know you are not meant to go through it alone.  You can always ask for help.  Learn to lean on your family, friends a support system.  There is almost always someone who is a step ahead of you that is willing to share their lessons learned to help you navigate it a little smoother.

People either come into your life or community for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Sometimes they are there for a short period of time to help you learn a lesson and other times that lesson takes longer to learn.

When you feel alone please remember that we all have a community of people around us. Just reach out to someone that you believe is part of yours.

Today I share how I have found people to build up my community

Key Take aways

1. Social Media

How much of your life have you spent trying to fit in or trying not to muddy the waters?

Trying to fit in often means being something we are not. Doing things we don’t always enjoy or expending a lot of extra energy we don’t always have.

It is time consuming, frustrating, lowers our confidence or our esteem. It can cause anxiety, unhappiness and a lack of content.

If we learned to embrace our uniqueness we would have more energy, more content, more time enjoying things that we wanted and love and have a higher appreciation for life.

Key Take aways

1. We all have our own unique purpose in this life

2. We all deserve to shine in our own light

3. The world would be a better, more entertaining place if everyone was their own unique self.

4. Just be you. It is so much easier

Ever find yourself getting frustrated over a situation that you have no control over? No matter how hard you try or how frustrated you get it won’t change the outcome? So why do we do this to ourselves.

The defining element in any outcome or situation is how we respond. Our lives would be so much better and happier if we could learn to let go of control over the things that are uncontrollable. This would give us much more time to focus our efforts on that which we can control.

Less stress = more happiness = better health.

Key Take aways

1. We cannot control the uncontrollable

2. We will go through hard things but what you go through you grow through

3. Life happens for us not to us

4. When we don’t try to force things and instead accept what is, life gets easier

Do you find yourself procrastinating on things that overwhelm or scare you? Its ok, we all do it.

Sometimes we make excuses as to why we are not doing something we need to do or should do. I need to learn more, I am not ready, people don’t want to hear what I have to say and the list goes on.

Key Take aways

2. Just do it. Start small and just keep going.

Whether you think you can or you think you can’t you are correct. What we think repeatedly will become our beliefs and drive our actions as a result.

You are programming your subconscious mind with your thoughts. This is why manifestation is such an amazing thing. If we repeatedly think of something great that we want then we can make it happen.

Key Take aways

1. Start each morning off by asking yourself how you want to feel today?

2. Sit down and think of your limiting beliefs. Then think of how you could rewrite those into a positive thought. For example. I don’t have time becomes I choose where to spend my time.

3. Look up books or podcasts around mindset and rewiring the brain. I recommend Dr. Joe Dispenza, Jim Kwik, Abraham hicks Daily podcast.

4. When you find yourself having a negative thought or belief ask yourself what is the story behind this? Then list out the reasons as to why the thought is untrue.

Why do we wait until someone is gone before we tell them just how much we appreciate or love them?

After suffering a recent loss and seeing all the outpouring of love for them from everyone it occurred to me that while this is amazing for the family left behind it doesn’t do much for the person who is gone.

Instead I believe we need to make more of a conscious effort to let people know how we feel, what they are doing that is great etc while they are still alive.

Could you imagine how much better the world would be to live in if everyone knew what people loved or appreciated about them? What they do that is good? How they are helping others? What people look up to them for?

We tend to be our own worst critics. After spending much of my adult life worrying about what others thought of me and assuming the worst I can tell you this would have been a HUGE impact on my life.

Key Take aways

1. Make a point to tell someone how you feel often

2. Be more willing to share compliments and admirations

3. If someone does something you respect or find impressive share with them

4. Keep it simple and keep it KIND.

In todays episode I talk about that fear feeling and how its not always a bad thing. Fear is actually good for us at times.

Do you struggle with starting things or going after those much desired goals because you are afraid of FAILURE?

Or

Are you worried about people thinking your failed?

The truth is with the exception of something with scientific measure we only really fail when we have not met up to our own expectation of what we expected to achieve.

Today I share with you some key tips on how to overcome this fear of Failure

Key Take aways

1. Figure out what is truly driving this fear of failure. What are you afraid of?

2. Reframe your beliefs or how you are thinking about a goal. Do you have an all or nothing attitude? Your goal should allow you have accomplishments and allow you to learn at the same time. If you can achieve both you are less like to feel like you failed.

3. Pay attention to your self-talk. Identify the triggers for negative self-talk and replace with positive thoughts and affirmations.

4. Visualize all possible outcomes to help remove uncertainty

5. Look at the worst case scenario. This helps to be prepared and remind us that discomfort is temporary

6. Have a back-up plan. Since we have thought out worst case scenarios we can have a plan to react or avoid these.

7. Learn from whatever happens. If we are always learning then we are always growing. We are then more likely to try again.

8. Get out there and do the thing. Action is power. Action brings clarity. Things not going as planned does not mean we failed.

Rachel’s non-restrictive, intuitive eating approach to food has helped thousands of women put an end to emotional eating, binge eating and disordered eating and find an effortless and enjoyable healthy way of eating and living.

Join Rachel and I as we discuss Intuitive eating, anti-diet culture, emotional eating, disordered eating vs healthy eating and food addiction.

Key Takeaways:

1. Intuitive eating is an eating style that promotes a healthy relationship with food. It does not mean No rules it means your guidelines. What feels good to your body?

2. When we restrict or deny ourselves we create a cycle of craving and potentially binging hence When you take the power back from food people think they are addicted to food. When you take the power back from these foods by allowing yourself to enjoy them the novelty wears off and no more cravings.

3. If you still feel a strong desire to lose weight ask yourself why. Is it a strong why? Is this a physical discomfort or a social discomfort?

4. Our body is smart. It knows how to regulate our queues. When we listen to our bodies we will feel better.

5. Find a way of eating and moving that is enjoyable to you. If you remove the weight loss component it becomes more enjoyable

6. We already know to much about food and nutrition. We do not need another diet. Lean into your intuition and know that your body knows best what you truly need.

Episode Notes

Self-care practice is something that many people talk about. From it being as little as new mommas taking a 15 minute shower to getting a mani/pedi. First off a shower is not Self-care in the sense of filling your cup. It is common practice that we all need for hygiene purposes.

We all know we need to practice it but we often think of as more of a luxury and therefore it gets put on the back burner.

In this episode I explain WHY it is more of a necessity and such needs to be prioritized. I will also explain the 5 different types of Self-care we need.

Key Takeaways:

· Self-care is a purposeful engagement in activities that promote healthy functioning and well-being.

· Types of Self-care

• Physical
• Social
• Mental
• Spiritual
• Emotional

In this episode

Throughout our lives we have been raised to strive for perfection. Perfect grades, perfect house, perfect job, perfect spouse, perfect kids and so on. Perfect doesn’t really exist so this essentially sets us up for disappointment or to feel like we are failing.

As a result we often times will use the excuse of perfectionism or its not quite perfect yet as a reason for not doing something.

Key Takeaways:

• Perfectionism is actually fear holding us back
• Learning to embrace the imperfection and start messy will bring us so much more joy and accomplishment
• Its not wrong to try its wrong not to

Key Quotes:

• Some call your mess your jewel – lia Valencia key
• Make your mess your message – multiple
• Perfection is the lowest standard we can have because we will never be perfect. This leaves us to continually beat ourselves up and feeling down. – Tony Robbins
• The only person who is underestimating you is YOU – Mel Robbins

How many times a day do you find yourself making an excuse for why you can’t do something. I am here to say that those excuses are often lies to ourselves. We are lying out of fear of the unknown, fear of telling the truth or fear of something else.

Today I share one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves, why we do it and how we can overcome it.

· To Busy

· Truly don’t want it

· We don’t think we deserve it

· Can’t afford it

· Not ready for it

· It scares me

How many times have you made a New Year’s resolution that didn’t come true?  From I will lose 20 lbs to I will eat healthier, or this is the year I land my dream job.

Here is why resolutions don’t work.

· We fail to set realistic goals

· Don’t put a plan in place to achieve the goals

· We don’t make it part of our routine or create a habit

· We don’t have the support we need

· We don’t track our goals.

The biggest hold up to achieving ones goals is the fear of other people's opinions.  Today we talk about how this affects us and why we need to stop it in its tracks. 

In this episode

1. People will always have opinions and they won’t always match yours. That is ok. We need to be able to allow people to be who they are. It doesn’t have to affect us

2. You are the only one who needs to approve

3. When you are living your most authentic, genuine life people will feel that. Seeing you happy will make them happy.

4. By freeing yourself up to do this you are also opening it up for others to do the same.

One of the biggest factors in successfully achieving your goals or living your best life is your MINDSET.  

When I started shifting how I thought about things my life literally changed for the better. How do we react?

· Pick a goal you have had for a while – why haven’t you achieve it yet? What is the story you are telling yourself?

· Now figure out the driving force behind that goal? Why do you want to achieve it? What feelings do you want to achieve?

· What are some of the things you can do now to help you get that feeling or to break it into smaller goals?

· Start doing these daily to continually build momentum and celebrate each success.

What is the story you are telling yourself around the goal you have been trying to achieve for a while? That you are a failure? You can’t do it? Its too big? Its not possible?

A lot of the time what is holding us back is the story we are telling ourselves about ourselves or that goal.

If we change our perspective towards these goals and start doing little things daily we will see different results.

In today’s episode I share a personal story of the BS believe that caused more harm than good.

Listen as I share my no longer limiting beliefs and my top take away's from Unleash your Power with in conference with Tony Robbins

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to attend a Tony Robbins conference. To say it was Epic would be an understatement. The days were long and jammed packed with learning goodness. I shattered my limiting beliefs and created new ones. I broke through a wooden board with my hand. I created a new mindset and a new power move.

Listen in today as I share my top take away's to help you move forward with your growth.

1. Always operate at a level 10. Doing things half ass will not get you where you want to go.

2. Some beliefs are just your fears trying to stop you. We call those limiting beliefs. Limiting beliefs are BULLSHIT!.

3. The quickest way to achieve your outcome is to find someone who has already mastered or achieved it and model their behaviour. A coach or a mentor would be great examples.

4. Community is EVERYTHING. Make sure however that this community is made up of people who will motivate you and help you level up.

5. Figure out your WHY!. Your why will get your through those low periods when you want to give up.

6. Similar to 1 GO ALL IN! Do not half ass it or dabble. It will take you longer to get there and you will want to quit.

7 If your not growing your dying. Find your jam do some personal development daily. Read books, listen to podcasts, attend conferences, master minds etc.
