How To Start Living Your New Story Today

Have you been frustrated by people who have said, “That’s just your story.”? I didn’t really get that for a long time. My answer has always been, “Well that’s what really happened.”

That comment often comes up in a situation where there’s a problem, or difference of opinion with another person. But what about the story you’re telling yourself about who you are and what you are capable of? It really is just your story and it can be changed.

Not Feeling Ready? Stop Wishing. Start Living Your Dream

The first time you successfully rode a bike the limits of your world changed. Until you learned, it was not safe to try. For many of us it was a parent or a close friend to who pushed us over the threshold of fear and insecurity.

Oddly enough, regardless of experiencing success like that, the next change or growth point is rarely all that much easier. You may need help, but do your best to accept it as the opportunity arises.

Why You Need a Crisis to Change – Or Do You?

I was shocked when I read this line in a post yesterday, “Your brain isn’t just resistant to change; it’s lazy.” I thought about it a bit more and I realised, in a way, it is true.

You have an autopilot control in your brain that is well able to take you as safely as possible through life. It does this in response to the world around you and more important in alignment with the mental image you have developed of yourself and your life over your lifetime.

Last week someone I’m close to pulled back from our relationship. At first I tried to communicate but she responded with the comment, “I’m just having an off day, don’t take it personal.”

6 Ways Your Mind Wants You to Care For It So You Won’t Lose It

I’m gonna assume you have been a giving person and have been living your life out pretty fully. You may feel you’re the only one who sees how much you’ve poured into your life, your loved ones, or your work.

With all that giving, there comes a time when you need to be a little selfish about yourself and your time. Don’t feel guilty about it. Really!

The Control that Makes Your Goals Happen

What is one thing you have absolute control over? Well, you may not be exercising control over it at the moment, or at times, but potentially you are capable of having complete control over this.

This control, which you accept or release, makes the difference between success and failure. That difference can sometimes be measured in a few minutes, a few days, a couple of millimeters, or a few feet. (more…)

5 Things Achievers Know About Following Dreams

You might say I was a late bloomer in the dreams department. Having grown up in a high commitment religious environment, where having ideas or dreams was frowned upon in favor or putting the “greater need” above our own desires.

Well, that’s a story for another time, but if you’re like me, I can imagine you are often motivated by the great people you’ve seen accomplish their dreams and goals, and are living amazing lives. We’re told we can do it too. Somehow we often do not pay attention to challenges they went through to get there. (more…)

15 Things Not To Believe, and 15 You Might Want To

What are those ideas we call beliefs? Some time ago I thought the only context for them was religious or spiritual. I couldn’t have been more wrong. As it turns out, we are guided by them or held back by them all throughout our lives. What we choose to believe changes everything.

I still remember how years ago, as I started out in the world of coaching, I was amazed to discover the role my beliefs had played in how my life was turning out. There are two broad categories, limiting beliefs and empowering beliefs. The challenge is in learning to recognize them. (more…)
