PANDEMIC POWER: Rest + Sleep

PANDEMIC POWER: Rest + Sleep

How many of you have stayed up until the wee hours recently reading dreadful news on your phones in bed? Or if you somehow managed to put your phone down, did you then toss and turn for hours?

Anxiety and fear can totally wreck our sleep patterns, and it’s hard to imagine a more pressing time than the one we’re in. Emotional fatigue on top of the physical effects of sleep deficits can take an enormous toll on the body’s ability to fight off infection.

Don’t resist your feelings. No matter what you’re thinking. It's okay.

Don’t resist your feelings. No matter what you’re thinking. It's okay.

I want to make it clear. 100% clear that right now in this time of uncertainty, that it's ok to have any and all thoughts and feeling you are having during this time.

The key to success and happiness is to identify the feeling and instead of resisting them – allow – and allow yourself to process them – feel them all the way through.

Here are 7 steps to help you do that.

Upper Limit Problems — Outsmart fear of failure and fear of success to become unstoppable!

Upper Limit Problems — Outsmart fear of failure and fear of success to become unstoppable!

When it comes to one of your major goals, does it feel like you just can’t seem to get there—that it’s just out of reach? Find yourself on track and then derailed again and again?  

If you're bold in going after what you want—if you’ve done big things but still want more—it’s time we talk about something called the Upper-Limit Problem (ULP). It’s a sneaky one, and if you don’t understand how it works, you may wish and hope so long that you give up completely.

Digging into the ULP helps conquer hidden fears to take your life to the next level. Once you solve your ULP, you can accomplish any dream or goal!

Money Series Lesson 11: Asking for Money

Money Series Lesson 11: Asking for Money

How many times have you found yourself not asking for money, help, or anything else? We get paralyzed by FEAR—afraid we’ll be viewed as rude, get rejected, or feel embarrassed.

But asking for what you want isn't rude—it’s honest! Chances are they’re not going to think it's rude anyway (and if they do, it has to do with the thoughts in their mind and nothing to do with you).

The worst anyone can say is NO. You think not asking is "taking care to make sure they don't feel offended by your ask," but that has everything to do with them—not you. They could be delighted by your ask! It could be mutually beneficial—but you'll never know if you don’t ask.

So, what is the one thing holding you back from success?

FEAR. The dreaded feeling.

What do you need to solve for fear? COURAGE...

Every day I purposefully do something that scares "the you know what" out of me.

Because I am currently living in the French Riviera, that includes learning French, figuring out how to communicate about getting something delivered to my place, how to find the right light bulbs when all of them have burnt out, how to get my cell phone fixed, how to meet new people every day to grow my community of friends. Just to name a few.

I do something scary every day because I want to develop my COURAGE MUSCLE.

People Pleasers are Liars. Do You Agree?

People Pleasers are Liars. Do You Agree?

“I don’t want to hurt people’s feelings and I don’t want people to be mad at me.”

Do you hear yourself thinking either of these thoughts at points in your day? I think of these as key indicators of People Pleasers. It sounds like such a good intention from the outside, not wanting to hurt feelings or make others mad, it sounds caring and like a good way to live.

But, here’s the deal, people pleasing is motivated by fear.
