Transformed Life 2 Min Encouragement

Creating the world we live is less complicated than you think. However, your passive yes and no have more to do with indecision than creating.

It is so good to have you here. Today, we are focused on the experience of connecting and being more vulnerable.

If today was going to be one of your most perfect days, no matter what you have to do, what would you actually do today? How would you make it one of your most perfect days? Well, I've been practicing this for a while, by slowing down and paying attention to the things that I need to do, like not picking my phone up in the morning, not looking at my email until the afternoon, making sure that...

want to know what the difference is between an addiction and a habit. Well, almost everyone that I asked this question to says the same thing. Well, an addiction is something that is an outside behavior that you're doing that you can't stop. Well, so it's a habit, right? It's an internal behavior that you can't stop. Now, there are life altering addictions, obviously, those are...

Making decisions can be very difficult, especially if they're a decision that has long term effects. And often, we are uncertain what to do I have been in that place. And I know you have to, well, here's something that maybe we could try that I heard about. And I kind of like this idea. And that is that think about first of all, when you have a decision to make, about what is it? What woul...

I know we've talked about the heart brain connection before. But I want to talk about the gut brain connection. There's some research out that came out a few years ago, talking about how important the gut was in connecting with a truth of what's going on around us. In other words, our gut kind of knows when things are right or wrong, or when things aren't going the way that they sh...

Every one of us at one point, we're a child and children can be so silly. You know, they do things that are creative. And they can imagine, you know, just a rolled up piece of paper being something that's very important like a sword, or they can be riding in a toy car and pretend like they're going on to the moon and all kinds of silly things. And I know that you did things like that t...

I know you've heard this before that opinions are like trash cans, and they all stink. And I'm gonna say that's true also. But here's something that I want you to practice for me. And it's an assignment for today. And that is to not have an opinion. What that means is is to not share your thoughts, things that you're opinionated about. And here's why. Because when you h...

When you think of what you don't want, do you compare it to something that you don't have? For example, do you say I sure wish I had a better car. And yet, what that really means is that I do not like the car I have. If you say I wish I were happier, could it mean that you're really saying, I do not like how life is going, if your dominant emotion is what you do not have, believe me, y...

Did you choose joy and happiness today? Yes, I'm really serious about this. Did you choose joy and happiness? Or did you choose to be unhappy about the things that are happening around you? Now we all have things that we don't like that happen. I mean, sometimes that driver is just driving too slow. Or maybe the blinker on your truck doesn't work. Or maybe you get to the grocery store...

I was having an interesting discussion with a client today about the words, it's just true. And it is, it's just true. That means that things are just true. That's just what he did. That's just what she said, that's just what's happening. That's just what we're seeing in the world, it is just true. That simply means that you can't change those things that are ju...

mental discipline is something that our culture doesn't talk about very often because it's very difficult mental discipline would be to delay gratification internally. Or to tell yourself No. Let me give you an example. No, I'm not going to think those thoughts right now. No, I'm not going to be angry about that right now. No, I don't need to be unkind, I need to be more kind....

Here's a fun exercise I want you to try. I want you to close your eyes and then count to 10. But while you're counting to 10, I want you to practice thinking about nothing but listening to your heart. Close your eyes. Listen to your heart and count to 10. What is your heart saying to you? And maybe take a breath, take a deep breath or to what you're going to experience is a calming on...

I love thinking about the word magic or magical. And that's because there are some things that are just magical when you apply them, particularly to relationships. Now, when you appreciate someone, it actually helps them feel like you're thinking about them, saying something just as simple as I appreciate you calling me. Thank you for following up, or thank you for having coffee with me, o...

Yes, you can, I'm giving you permission today to stand tall and to be your best self. You know, this internal idea that we are worthy or important often escapes us. But there are times when you feel that way you feel like things are going well. And you can stand tall and have, I don't know, the idea that life is going the way that you want it to. And if you choose to feel that way, if you...

is today one of those really busy days? And do you have plans for the evening? Well, I've been thinking about lightening the mood, you know, making it lighter. So I want you to notice the dominant body sensations that you're having right now. Take a moment slow down and notice what is the body saying to you? What are the sensations in your body? Do you notice any emotions that you're e...

I know you can absolutely I know that you can that you can accomplish anything that you put your mind to. But let's talk about some times when you feel like that you can't, however, said to yourself that I can't I just can't I can't continue. I can't do this. It's too hard. Well, really, what you're saying is, is that I won't, I don't want to. And if you thi...

We all know this, that greatness is bound up in the heart of a child. What I mean by that is that we've all seen a child pretend to be a fireman, or a nurse, or a police officer or someone great that they're pretending to be, they are acting out the role. And they are being someone wonderful, someone great, that greatness is buried inside all of us, including you. Now, most of us have a te...

How would you like to have the most wonderful day ever? Yes. How would you like to have the day? That is one of the best days ever? No, I'm not talking about you getting the day off or going on a vacation or planning on spending time with that wonderful person in your life. I'm talking about you changing the way you think about you to have the most wonderful day, wonderful days, our choice...

We all have things that drain us. And we all have things that charge us, you know, it's those individuals that just drain your energy, or it's just very difficult to get something done. Because nothing's going your way, and it's just exhausting. And then there's those things that charge us, you know, you hear something on the news, or someone says something or something happens...

Words have energy in them. We all know that's true. Because when we're speaking words, we know that we can either be happy, or joyful, as static, sad, hurt, angry, or just be peaceful words have a lot of energy on the inside of them. So learning to pay attention to the words that you're saying, is one way that we can help manage or be aware of the energy that we're expelling. Remem...

We often think that meditation is something that we needed to do for a really long time. And that's not actually true. Let me give you an idea of something that you can do today that can actually help slow down your brain. If you take just two minutes, start a timer, and sit quietly and close your eyes and practice thinking about nothing, just two minutes, that actually helps rewire your brain...

Life is about the experiences that we're having. And life is also about appreciating the experiences that we've had. Right now, I'd like you to take a moment and think about the things that you've experienced so far today. What are they? And what can you appreciate about them? Bringing that appreciation to the forefront helps us really enjoy life more fully. So take a moment and th...

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. We all know that that's true. But then there's the other side of it is what it is that we believe that isn't beautiful. Well, that's just a perspective. I love the idea of thinking about things in a curious way. Because when you think about it, how you think is beautiful, isn't really beauty to everyone. And so it's a perspective. I wo...

I never say to someone, you're a liar. It just feels weird. It feels like it's wrong or disrespectful or very, I don't know, just the wrong thing to do. But I've discovered that the voice inside my head is lying to me, your voice inside your head is lying to you, too. You know that Judge voice, the one that judges yourself and judges others and circumstances and events, judges, eve...
