Manifesting or attracting what you desire into your life can be really simple. With only a few steps to implement you can bring desired opportunities and outcomes into your life. However, so many of us, including myself at times can get caught up in Obsessing rather than truly Manifesting. Could this be you?

Obsessive thinking doesn’t manifest what you want in your life. It actually creates anxiety and only delays the desired outcome. It keeps you from being present in the moment and from moving forward. It’s somewhat embarrassing to admit this, but I can spend hours and sometimes days obsessing over things before making a decision or taking action or refocusing and moving on. Trying to figure out the best approach. Trying to control when and how it comes [Continue Reading...]

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) creates anxiety. This anxiety then creates inaction and lack of decisions. Allowing the anxiety about missing out or not being able to really participate in something will hold you back from living a full life, as ironic as this may seem. It will also compromise your true self.

Instead shift your focus on making decisions that really resonate with your True Self and what you need to do that’s in alignment of this. Sometimes it’s about saying “no” now, so you could potentially say “yes” to later on when the timing is right for you. Think of it as postponing rather than abandoning some true wants and desires. Think of it as shifting yourself forward with the right intentions while taking the right actions to change [Continue Reading...]

Taking Risks by Traveling to the other side of the world solo on a group tour! One way I reconnect to my authentic self and my life purpose because it gets me out of my element and facing my fears and self-limiting beliefs! SE Asia GAdventures Tour 2/2012 - Ancient Temple Cave in Laos

Get this! Sometimes there’s a big tug of war between FEAR of Failure and FEAR of Success, and ultimately you may just give in because you’re so exhausted and unsure which side to take. The REALITY is you don’t need to take either side. Unless, you want to let FEAR run your life, strip you of your sense of worth and passion for life, and then drag you into the ground and mud! That’s absolutely not for the Courageous & Remarkable one like you!

Perhaps you’re one of those people who wouldn’t know what to do if all your dreams came true – if you got everything you ever desired in your life, career, and relationships. Maybe you’re concerned about the sense of responsibility that comes with success. It feels [Continue Reading...]

Failure can actually be your greatest teacher, only if you allow it to be. Heartbreak. Self-Sabotage. Not Making the Sports Team. Not Getting a Call Back for a Second Audition. Below Expectations Rating on Performance Review. Missed Promotion or Opportunities. Unsuccessful Business Venture. Resistance is Failure because you are not Embracing Change. Lack of Dedication, Focus, Passion, and Commitment is also Failure. Because you are not showing up entirely to give your most powerful authentic self to those that need you to serve them.

Sometimes we have to be up against the wall or practically on our knees begging for a better way before we are ready for the next step. Though, you don’t have to get to this extreme level of frustration or disappointment to make the [Continue Reading...]

Central America GAdventures Tour 1/2013 - Mayan Ruins at Copan, Honduras

Just when I’m feeling confident and reconnected to who I am and what I bring to a relationship, I then start to get some anxiety. I don’t understand because I’ve released the need to be too attached to the outcome and getting too far ahead of myself. Somehow, that doesn’t matter, because the stakes are higher this time. I’m starting to feel emotionally invested in this relationship and everything changes.

I’m worried about messing it up and making the same mistakes I’ve made in my past relationships. I’m worried about if I match the criteria on his checklist for a life partner.

Oh, my goodness, I’ve got to calm down and get a grip on this anxiety before it gets the best of me and ruins this relationship. Breathe, run, [Continue Reading...]
