Run Stress Out of Town! Reclaim the Keys to Your City.

“Stress is not happening because your job is difficult. It is happening because you are incapable of handling your own systems. You don’t know how to manage your body or your mind or your emotions or your energies. If you know that, then nothing is stressful because you are no longer hijacked by external situations” ~ Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

STRESS! It’s gripped the world. It’s gripped many of us! It’s become so natural that we don’t know what life is like without stress.

If they don’t have a crisis, they’ll make one.

The truth is, and though we don’t like to admit it, we’re pretty much all like that. We’ve gotten so use to feeling the stress in our bodies that when it’s not there we feel odd or “not quite right”. We will unconsciously go on the hunt for something to stress about so or bodies can go back to feeling “normal”.

Stress Management courses are offered by our employers. They are written about in magazines. Stress Management is discussed on TV and all over the internet.

The truth is you don’t have to be stressed. It is not your natural state.

Peace is YOUR natural state.

You’ve been out of this place of peace for so long now that you’ve forgotten.

What if you could get back to Peace, even when things don’t seem to be working the way you think they should be working?

What if you could feel good ALWAYS despite appearances?

It’s time to put the REAL Manager in charge of your life. It’s time to put YOU in charge of your life.

Your body isn’t the manager. Your mind isn’t the manager. Your emotions and Energy are not the managers either.

These are each equally important parts of you, however they are all intended to be managed by Your Spirit. They are the team Your Spirit leads through this experience we call Life!

How would your life change if Your Spirit managed your life experience?

Would Your Spirit choose to sit on the couch in front of the TV half-sleeping through life? Who do you think is managing that choice?

Would Your Spirit choose the same job, the same friends, the same recreational activities, the same distractions?

What activities would Your Spirit give your body? What direction would Your Spirit guide your mind? How would Your Spirit use your Energy? What different emotions would you experience if your Spirit guided your Body, Mind and Energy?

These are all important questions to ask yourself, especially if you feel your life is being managed by anyone or anything other than You.

Your Spirit will ALWAYS choose that which serves you. Your Spirit will ALWAYS love you and keep you safe.

Give Your Spirit the Keys to Your City. Leave stress at the gate, and begin living in your natural state of Peace once again.

Midlife Crisis or Midlife Adventure?

How did I end up here? What am I doing with my life? What’s missing? Where did all the fun go? Who am I?

Have you been asking yourself any of these questions? Are you frustrated or discouraged about the lack of answers? Have you been so busy being responsible you forgot how to have fun? Is it an unconscious, endless loop of the same tasks each day?

Some call it a mid-life crisis. Chances are you're simply exhausted from living on autopilot. There's no joy in just existing.

It’s a powerful observation, but what do you do with it?

All too often when someone bumps up against this feeling, they try to do the things they did as a young adult. The problem with this approach is those activities are not filling the void any more than the day-to-day grind is.

How do you turn your crisis into an adventure? How do you get the passion and excitement back in your life?

The first step is to remember who you are. Yes, I said remember who you ARE. Sometimes we get so busy doing, we forget all about the be-ing.

The following exercise will support you in this remembering process.

1. List 3 qualities you absolutely love about yourself.

2. List 3 things you do well.

3. Ask 3 friends what they feel is your best quality.

4. Ask 3 friends what they feel you do best.

Chances are, once you take the time to remember who you already are, you’re going to like yourself again. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Once you have completed this exercise, you can begin to look at what new qualities you’d like to have, and new things you’d like to learn to do well. That’s when the adventure begins!

This is a really important point I want to bring to your attention. Notice how I languaged that. “New qualities you’d like to have” and “new things you’d like to learn”. It’s important and valuable for you look at things as new and additional rather than wrong and needs to be changed or deleted.

Here are a three questions you can ask yourself to begin your new Midlife Adventure.

1. List one quality you’d love to have.

2. List one thing you’d like to learn to do well.

3. Choose the Celebrations you receive for taking these first few steps on your new Adventure.

I’m starting you out with one quality and one skill for a reason. You built your present strengths mostly one at a time. By playing with one at a time, you automatically increase your success exponentially.

Let me give you a visual for this.

You have 10 fingers on your hands. Each finger pushes a new quality or skill into your life. All of your effort gets distributed amongst the 10 fingers, so each gets 1/10th of your effort.

What would happen if all 10 fingers pushed on one new quality or skill? Yes, your quality or skill gets 100% of your effort, but your results are actually exponential. You’re putting in 10 times the effort, but your results will far exceed your expectations.


To summarize, there are two steps to change your Crisis into an Adventure.


1. Remember who you are.

2. Add new qualities or skills that excite and grow you into who you’d like to be.

This mid-point of your life is a wonderful new beginning. Make it an Adventure!

You Don't Need the Luck of the Irish

YOU DON’T NEED THE LUCK OF THE IRISH

TO FIND YOUR POT OF GOLD - TAKE THE CHALLENGE NOW!

3 Steps to Find Your Gold NOW!

The Quest for the Pot of Gold continues daily--the search for that one thing outside of you that will give you the wealth you crave.

Is money the one thing you think will fill that void? Phooey to those who say “Money can’t buy you happiness.” Being poor won’t fill that void either!

The reality is, money alone will not fill the void. The question then becomes, “What will fill that emptiness?” What would make you magnetic to all that you desire?

Many believe they will not be happy until they achieve financial wealth. The truth is, being happy opens the door to financial wealth. You must do what it takes to create the happiness NOW if you want to experience more wealth in all areas of your life.

True wealth is not only financial wealth. Money does nothing if you are emotionally spent, your spirit crushed, or your physical well-being drained.

Here are three actions you can do right now to create Happiness NOW and begin opening the doors to true, complete wealth.

1. Gratitude – List 5 things each morning, before your feet even hit the ground, that you are grateful for today. Sometimes it’s as simple as appreciating that first breath you take in the morning.

2. Extreme Self-Care – Before you give to others, be sure to give to yourself. This fills your well, in order that you have more to give to others. This could include things such as a foot spa at the end of the day, 30 minutes reading a good book, or a peaceful uninterrupted soak in the tub. Whatever it is for you, just be sure to do one thing each day for the most important person in your life—you!

3. Laugh Lots – Research has shown that laughter is the best medicine! It supports our heart, our blood vessels, our brain, and most of all, our spirit. Just hearing someone else laugh automatically puts a smile on our face. Notice how that simple act of smiling can brighten your mood. Keep a book of funny jokes near by. Watch funny movies often. Find a Joke buddy, and take turns each day telling a joke or telling a funny story. Join a laughter club near you.

These are three simple things you can do each day effortlessly that will create more joy and happiness in your life right now.

Here’s the Pot of Gold Challenge. Do these three things for just 30 days. Not only will you feel great, but watch how your world around you begins to change too. You will find you’ve been sitting in your Pot of Gold all along.

Enter the Pot of Gold Challenge. Share your experience of what changed in your life by taking the Pot of Gold Challenge, and have your name entered to win exciting prizes.

The IF in Life

Life is full of IF’s.

Usually it’s “If only I could/would have…” or “If only it/I wasn’t…” Have you felt those “If’s”?

What if you could play with the IF in Life?

What if you could make a game of the IF in Life?

IF can be a possibility thing of looking forward, if you choose it to be.

One of my favorite ways to do this is to play the “What If Game”.

It’s a perfect way to begin thinking of possibilities before you believe in the possibilities.

Did you know can begin making shifts before you believe? It’s true!

Many Guru’s teach that Belief is an important component of creating the life of your dreams.

They are right, AND you can move towards your dreams and intentions before you believe.

How? One way is to play the “What If Game”.

How to Play the What If Game

You will be using your intentions and desires for this game. It’s also a great way to get clear on what your intentions and desires are.

Simply add “What if” to the front of your intentions when you write them down or speak. For example, “What if I was a successful business owner?” or “What if I had an active and healthy lifestyle?”

When and Where to Play

The best place to play your game is in your Journal. Your Journal is the most powerful Abundance Tool in your toolkit.

This gives your intentions their first physical form. It begins the creation process. You also have a record of your intentions that you can go back on. This will give added focus to your intentions, and also allow you to celebrate as you notice how many of your intentions come into reality.

The next best place to play your game is verbally. Many times we have tasks that occupy us physically, but we can still play mentally and verbally. These tasks can include things like walking, driving, or washing the dishes.

How often to Play

Add the “What If Game” to your daily routine, and you will notice changes quickly.

You will notice how your thinking begins to shift. You will notice more possibilities in your daily life.

Why is this valuable?

Possibility thinking shifts your vibration further up the scale, and the higher your vibration, the more magnetic you are to your desires.

Simply put, when you think of possibilities, you feel better. When you feel better, more good things happen.


What if your life was full of possibilities?

It is—if you want it to be.
