Become a student of your life

Become a student of your life

I know. It’s not sexy. It doesn’t have any super-duper fun hashtags, or catchy phrases. It doesn’t break it down into 5 simple steps There are no promises for happiness or success. And it’s certainly not a life hack. So why should you become a student of your own life? Because it’s the way through. It’s the path to a happy, peaceful, alignment, and perhaps even enlightenment. It’s the path to love, bliss, joy, wonder, amazement, satisfaction, and abundance in your relationship, career, family, and life. If you’re already there… AWESOME!! But if that’s the case, then, I’m not really…

On Finding Inner and Outer Alignment

On Finding Inner and Outer Alignment

My friend, Sam Morris @zenwarriortraining, posted a video the other day about prayer. During the video, he talked about how his prayers are focused on alignment. I had never heard this before, but it immediately resonated with me, and I’ve been thinking about it non-stop for the past week. Alignment. So that how I think, feel, and want to act on the inside matches what I do on the outside. That’s it. That’s the motherlode. Because when I’m aligned, the resulting impact on me, my life, the people around me, and how I feel is ‘perfect’… the outcome or result…

You are exactly where you are supposed to be and so am I

You are exactly where you are supposed to be and so am I

You are exactly where you’re supposed to be (and so am I). No matter where you are, there is no question that you are right where you’re supposed to be. Now… it may not feel that way. It certainly didn’t for me for a very loooooong time. Things swirled. I was riddled with fear, worry, panic, and anxiety… for almost an entire year. And even after that year, I’d get regular “visits” from that uninvited guest. But with regular, daily self-nurturing practices like meditation, journaling, exercise, affirmations, diet, gratitude, I’ve been able to pull myself (with spirit’s help, of course)…

It’s not what you do, it’s how you do it that really matters.

It’s not what you do, it’s how you do it that really matters.

Have you ever noticed that when you hear about something that worked for someone else, you want to know how to do it yourself? You want the steps, the directions, the to-do list, the tools. The tools are the what… And while it might look like those are what gave that person the result they got, the deeper and more important cut is in exploring the ‘how’ and ‘why’. You see, people can do exactly the same thing, follow all the rules, take all the steps, and get very different results. Why? Because of what’s underneath… the why. If your…

Slowing down to the speed of thanks and love

Slowing down to the speed of thanks and love

Be thankful on Thanksgiving! But when it REALLY counts is when you get triggered. How quickly can you pull yourself back into your beautiful place? Can you slow yourself down to the speed of thanks, of love, of gratitude for all the blessings in your life. Truly. For the sake of your family… For the sake of the world… and For the sake of YOU!

Does work really have to be hard for it to “count”?

Does work really have to be hard for it to “count”?

Up until now, I’ve operated with the belief that work is the only thing that really counts. By work, I mean work itself, but I also mean the difficulty of what I’m doing in something like reading, working out, a sport (mtb, ski, climb, run, kayak, etc). If it’s not work in the traditional sense – in the office, on the computer, making a phone call, talking to clients, then I’m just wasting my time, fucking off, and it doesn’t and won’t really matter or make a difference. I’m just slacking. And if a sport, workout, book, etc. hasn’t been…

Life Death And getting to choose how you’re going to be alive

Life Death And getting to choose how you’re going to be alive

Do you let life dictate the rules? Do you let your fear of dying rob you of your aliveness, joy, love? Life is a mystery… you don’t know how it’s going to play out or end… and to think you do is crazy. The mystery of it IS the special sauce! ✨🌟 Has Covid robbed you of your life? If you’re reading this, YOURE NOT DEAD YET. But if you’re living as if you are and want to get your LIFE back… hit me back with a DM so we can schedule some time to talk.

What are you waiting for? Make your life count!

What are you waiting for? Make your life count!

Blink. Blink. Whoops… Did you miss it? Life is going by. And while it might not be as fast as a blink, when you look back on it… and all the opportunities you squandered because you thought you’d have the time. Well, THEN… then you will know that it went by lickety-split. But in the meantime, you need to ask yourself, “Self… what the heck am I waiting for?” Is it fear of looking bad, failing, feeling ashamed, doing it wrong, being humiliated, or perhaps fear of death (that’s the grandaddy of them all)? And if it was any of…

Disconnected? Then connect

Disconnected? Then connect

Are you someone that says, “I really need to connect more deeply with my family, my kids, my friends.” Or are you someones that knows the above to be true, though you don’t say it? In either case, every Friday afternoon you have a great opportunity to create some space in your weekend to do it. * Pick up the phone and call an old friend. * Shut the TV off during dinner and have a conversation with you family. * Go for a walk with you partner…NO PHONES. * If someone you know is having a birthday, instead of…

You go in the direction of what you focus on so choose what you focus on wisely

You go in the direction of what you focus on so choose what you focus on wisely

Are you a leader? If you said no to that question, I’d call you a liar… why? Because EVERYONE is a leader… at the very least, you are leading yourself. And that’s the problem now that the debate is over. We are spending all sorts of energy in upset, triggered, angry, criticizing, complaining, judging (not that it’s not warranted). We are pulling ourselves and our energy, thoughts, words, and action toward what we really DON’T want more of in our lives. Why do we do this? It’s easier to throw stones than take responsibility, it’s addictive, and it’s even got…
