We’re pulling into Inspiration and Motivation Station and you’re on board!
I love my podcast, but my true love is for the written word. Journaling is a huge part of this journey, and this is mine. You can always count on straight-shootin’ messages coming directly from my heart, and always with a dose of giggles. Join the wild ride that is The Aligned Life Voice.
It’s easy, just let go
When you realize that showing up as your most pure, true identity is more about “letting go” than “adding in”, the shackles disappear. The pressure of reading more, learning more, being an expert in more goes away. The expectation to be healed in all areas of life so that you can give better service magically...
Lessons from a beach ball
In a recent talk from a well-spoken man, he painted a picture about perspective from a beach ball. He keeps this mini beach ball on his desk to remind him that there are 2 perspectives, 2 sides to every story. As he looks at this beach ball from his desk chair, he can only see...
Left out?
Do you make decisions out of FOMO? FOMO = Fear.Of.Missing.Out I was the QUEEN of this from 14-35 years old. Although mostly healed, every now and then I have a hard time going to the bathroom during a social event in case I miss something. Now I can see that caused so much undue pressure....
“If it doesn’t suck, we don’t do it.”
…through the mouth of a Navy Seal. What if we thought that way instead of easy? What lessons would we learn if believed that the more challenge, the more growth? 40% When you’re tired, you’ve only use 40%. So when you don’t think you can keep going in a relationship…when you don’t think you can...
Are you hiding behind the keyboard?
I go in streaks on Facebook and have been on a dry spell. Sometimes it’s a platform I learn from and connect with and sometimes I fall into Comparitis, then shut down. Not really on the personal side as I’ve seen a bazillion incongruencies in people. But in business. Because real people are running businesses....
How are you?
Your likely response? “BUSY”. Like it’s a comparison, a race, a competition on who is busy-er. On who gets the medal today, who’s the martyr. Does ‘busy’ mean MORE important? MORE popular? MORE contribution? OR Does it mean having NO boundaries? NO ability to say no? NO courage to stand out? Instead of falling prey...
Hope = longing for tomorrow to be different than today
Hope is a pillar in our lives. It’s everywhere, but so many people are on the cusp of losing it: loss of health, depression, marital struggles, financial crisis, grief, loneliness: yet HOPE remains. I know. In having my hands on people for 15 years, hope remains, yet is masked by other emotions that we allow...
Control what you can control
Control what you can control. Noise. Some of you may know, I’m sensitive to noises. Especially mouth noises. And holy buckets, I become quite annoyed, like nails on a chalkboard or even worse, licking cardboard. Ewww… As I’m sitting in Starbucks writing I’m wishing for a quiet environment and one that looks different than my...
Will you try it for 3 months?
I can’t count on all my fingers and toes (every month!) about how many people have chosen to “try IT (medications, injections, surgeries, or a mixed bag of all of them) for 3 months”. No promises, lots of cash, and side effects. And even when health doesn’t improve or their stress response doesn’t decrease… …they...
Your top 5
When I lead a group, one of my initial questions is “who are the 5 people you spend the most time with?” The next few steps are evaluating if those 5 people are aligned with your values, if you love and respect them, if they create value in your life. While reading the Empowerment Issue...
Symptoms: good or bad?
Yesterday after adjusting an amazing kid, her mom asked if there was anything to expect. While struggling with anxiety, sadness and just not feeling “right”, her body feels like it’s been taken over by fear and worries, sadness and confusion. Mom asked some questions before leaving the first day: Will she be more or less...
Let Pain Exist
With the passing of my Uncle Dale last month, there are so many things that remind me of him or lessons coming through his family that resonate with me. I love this video as it can relate to you, no matter how big or small your griefs may be. Let.Pain.Exist Grief comes in many forms,...
