Procrastinating? 20 minutes is your friend

Do you ever procrastinate?

Procrastination is the habit of not getting started, putting things off till the last minute. It results in missed opportunities. stress, and a head and life full of clutter.

Here are 6 tips for dealing with procrastination that will help you take charge of your life. As you read these, think of something you are procrastinating about right now and see how these tips relate - I know there IS something you’re procrastinating about.

1. First, ask yourself: Is this project or action in alignment with my vision or purpose? Is it something really important to you? If not, why are you even thinking about doing it?

2. Are you telling yourself you ‘have to’ do it? If so, that puts a heavy energy onto it and who wants to do something they’re being told they have to do? Either find a way for it to be something you choose to do, or don’t do it. Words have energy behind them, they shape your outcomes.

Remember, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. You are always free to choose. There may be consequences for not doing it, but you DO have a choice. Read the rest of this entry »

Feng Shui Tips: When to stay, and when to go!

Most energy imbalances in your home can be adjusted. That’s what I tell clients - and it’s true. That’s the power of Feng Shui. But I’ve come to know that sometimes the best thing you can do is to move on. The good news is that moving is a great opportunity to declutter your life, make a fresh start and expand into a bigger YOU - and it’s really not such a big deal in the scheme of things.

The truth is that your home is either supporting you or working against your success. And a Feng Shui consultation can ensure it’s supporting you….most of the time.

If your life is expanding, abundant, flowing and you have good health and relationships then don’t try to fix what isn’t broken - you’re fine, even if you have a bathroom in your prosperity corner. However, if you feel stuck in any area of your life, it’s time to reassess.

If you’re not sure whether to move or not, here’s when moving really might be the best choice:

Feng Shui: Is your environment supporting you or working against you?

 Over the last year I’ve been intentional about changing my way of eating and I’ve been eating more and more raw food. In the process I’ve dropped: 38lb, my insomnia, sore hips and numerous niggly health issues.

Feng Shui has shown you the importance of your environment. If it’s out of alignment with where you’re going, it’s working against your success. But if it’s in alignment, you’re supported in making the changes you wish to see in your life - this goes for any changes you choose to make.

If your goals are whole person related - and which goals aren’t? then the kitchen as the center of nurturing and prosperity is a good place to start. Your health and the flow of energy in your inner self is what determines the degree of transformation and flow you create in your outer reality.

Use these tips to ensure your environment is supporting you. Any changes you make to enhance your health and we’ight will lead to even bigger shifts in other areas of your life. Read the rest of this entry »

What I learned from making the same mistake my clients make……

Over the years I’ve worked with thousands of clients and the biggest mistake they make is assuming it’s not possible for them to have their dream. Often it’s because they don’t know how to make it happen..

At some point with almost every client, I remind them that it’s not their job to figure out how to make their dream happen. Their job is to get clear about what they want and take a step towards it.

It’s that taking a step towards it that often doesn’t happen - after all, why bother when you ‘know’ it’s not possible?

Despite knowing better, despite being inspired by my clients taking steps beyond what they thought was possible, I found a place in my life where I had fallen into the same trap. It’s been my dream forever to live by the water and I was assuming it was not possible right now - well especially if I wanted to stay anywhere near civilization. Living by water was something I’d do when I was rich and famous I thought.

Luckily I woke up! The moment I decided to actually find out (shock, horror!), I was on the fast track to my dream.

This is what I learned. I share this in the hope that it will inspire you to go for your dreams too. They’re probably a lot closer than you think. Read the rest of this entry »

Feng Shui: 8 Tips to Feng Shui your SELF

We’ve all heard of Feng Shui for your home or office. Below are tips for applying these same principles to the body you inhabit, which after all is the environment that affects you the most directly.

1. Clear the clutter. Decluttering is a courageous act. Are you ready to discover who you truly are? Your body gets clogged up too. Schedule a detox of your body – one easy way is to do a raw food detox - nothing but fruit and vegetables for 7 days. Then gradually add things back in to how you react to different foods. The more raw food you can eat, the more you’ll detox your body, gain clarity, energy, and transform all parts of your life.

2. Place yourself in the “power position”. Just as you position your desk and bed to have a clear view of the door - position yourself to have a clear view of your life. When you live life face on, you have more chance of seeing the subtle messages that come your way, and don’t need big wake-up calls to get your attention. Is there anything you are not facing up to? Do you need to create space in your life to connect with yourself?

3. Surround yourself with things you love. How is your underwear? Do you wear clothes you love, ones that make you feel your best?  Or, is your closet full of clothes you don’t fit into or don’t wear?  It’s time to declutter that closet and keep the colors and styles you love. And banish the old droopy underwear to the rag bag or the garbage bin! Read the rest of this entry »

Raw Food Recipe: Kale Avocado Salad

(makes a big salad for 2)

1 bunch of curly leafed kale
1 avocado
lemon juice
cherry tomatoes
touch of salt

Wash kale and remove the stems from each leaf. Dry in a spinner. Cut up leaves into very small pieces. Sprinkle with a very little salt and juice from a lemon - and leave for a few minutes so everything mixes together.

Take a ripe avocado and chop it into small chunks. Now the fun part: add the avocado to the kale and squish it all together with your fingers. You’re going to mush the avocado up so it’s covering as many pieces of kale as possible.

Lick your fingers! (and wash your hands)

Cut tomatoes in half and pile on top.

This is my very favorite salad meal right now. If you have a dehydrator you can dehydrate onion slices, cut them into pieces with a pair of scissors and sprinkle on top - very yummy.

Attraction Secret: The #1 ingredient for attracting what you want

There’s one ingredient more important than anything else in attracting what you want. One ingredient that will have the Universe sending what you need faster than the speed of light. Without this your goals and dreams lie languishing in some far off recess of your mind. 

That one ingredient is passion.

The four steps to using your passions to attract what you want now!

1. Know what your passions are: this can sometimes be scary. What if you got what you most wanted? Take a deep breath and when you’re ready to delve deep, take some quiet time to ask yourself: what do I love doing, what do I gravitate towards, what do others acknowledge me for, what inspires me or lights my fire?

Then using the phrase: When I’m living my perfect life I am…..
Make a list of 5-10 things, each starting with a verb. For example… living, being, enjoying, creating, riding….. etc.

2. Find your top 5 passions : compare the first with the second asking yourself: if I could have this one or that one, which would I choose? Then compare that one with the next one in the same way and so on down your list till you have your top 5. You can have more, but this is a good number to focus on.

And by asking if you’d choose this one or that one, it’s not to say you can’t have both - or all of them, it’s just a way of coming up with your top passions in order of importance to you. Read the rest of this entry »

Raw Food: the portal to transformation

One year ago this week, I was heavier than I had ever been, I could only walk for 10 minutes before having to sit down because my hips got so sore, had regular heartburn, wasn’t sleeping and I felt stuck - in my life and my business.

With trepidation I embarked on a raw food detox. That week changed my life. My heartburn completely disappeared and I felt so good and loved what I was eating that I just kept going down the raw food path.

Within a few months I had let go of 30lb, could walk and hike again with ease and my insomnia was gone. But it went way beyond that. I found my self on a powerful path to transformation.

Here are five reasons you might choose to go raw:

1. Weight Management: Eating cooked food where many of the nutrients are destroyed in the cooking process means you feel less satisfied when you eat and have the tendency to eat more as your body tries to get what it needs. When you eat more fruit and vegetables you’re getting the nutrients you need so you tend to eat less.

2. Vibrant Health: The Standard American Diet (SAD) of meat, bread, dairy, processed and cooked foods is not only totally enzymeless, it also creates an acid state in the body which causes health problems. When you eat raw you’re getting the enzymes you need for digestion and good health. Add just one green smoothie (greens and fruit) each day and you’ll reap the rewards of improved health.
