Design Your Life On Purpose!

Imagine you're in a canoe and trying with all your might to paddle upstream.  You are straining and striving to go against the current.  You'd probably have to work exceptionally to make any progress at all.  Conversely, if your canoe were going WITH the current, your efforts and your progress would be easy and practically guaranteed!The same is true in all aspects of our life.  When we choose "downstream" behaviors and thoughts life is easier and ultimately more satisfying.  In this episode of "A Well-Designed Life", Cheri describes the pitfalls of upstream living and the benefits of the easier and more satisfying downstream thoughts and actions.  She teaches you how to go with the flow and trust that everything you need is waiting for you downstream.

We’re all guilty of being a martyr or feeling like a victim from time to time.  But sadly, for some us, this becomes a way of life.  Many people blame others and refuse to take responsibility for what they do, say and have.  Not taking responsibility for one’s life is the BEST way to stay stuck and unhappy. In the podcast, Cheri shines a light on some of the classic characteristics of a martyr to help you identify them in yourself and in others.  She empowers you to find your power from within and avoid the pitfalls of being a victim.  She helps you take responsibility for your own life!

We all have clutter . . .  stuff that we're holding on to (or putting on our calendar and in our minds) that's bringing us down.  We step over and around it.  We try our best to ignore it.  We make promises to deal with it later.  But the clutter remains.In this episode of A Well-Designed Life, Cheri explains what your clutter may represent and reasons why you let it continue to hang around and pollute your life.  You may be surprised to learn what your clutter can tell you about whats going on inside you.

Good stuff is all around us all the time.  So why do we humans often miss it?  Why do we march through life waiting for the other shoe to fall instead of joyfully expecting goodness?In this podcast, Cheri doesn't answer this question?  Rather, she gives you three strategies for turning that behavior around.  She knows that understanding WHY something happens isn't really necessary to make a change. Instead, making changes RIGHT NOW is how we get more of what we want and need.Listen to gain tips for shifting your perspective from one where you miss the good stuff to one where you EXPECT to see the good stuff and it shows up!

We humans hold onto things.  From old, out-of-date clothes that used to fit to that hand-me-down furniture that's well passed it's prime.  We know these things should go . . . but we hold on to them for reasons that often puzzle and frustrate us.  We do the same thing with the stories and thoughts we have about ourselves and our life.  We hold on to those negative, hurtful, derailing stories that keep us playing small and being miserable. In this episode of A Well-Designed Life, Cheri helps you understand the power and long term consequences of holding on to these limiting beliefs.  She validates why and how they occur but more importantly, she empowers you to release them!  She offers tips and inspiration to help you find your inner mojo to let them go for good and find the ease and freedom you desire.

"We either live with intention or exist by default."  Kristin ArmstrongAll of us are given gifts, drive, ideas, desires, passions, etc. but sadly, many of us never declare them.  We never stake our claim to the life we really and truly want.  Rather we live our life by default; either squandering the gifts we've been given or never really pushing through the fear and resistance of real and lasting change.  Many of us never do what's necessary to live a beautiful lifeIn this podcast, Cheri Honeycutt gives you two concrete ways to stop buckling under to the power of fear, to stop squandering the gifts you've been given and to stop living from that all-too-comfortable, unproductive place she like to call "the velvet rut."  She helps you STOP living by default.

Is this you?  Do you have anxiety you can’t put your finger on?  Are you procrastinating?  Maybe you’re drinking one too many glasses of wine every night?  Are you too scared to look at your finances? Or maybe you're stuck in a job that's killing you one looooong day at a time?  So, how do you find the inner mojo to get unstuck?  In this podcast, Cheri helps you do just that.  Using basic feng shui principles, she helps you focus on doing ONE THING that will shift your life immediately.  She proposes you move some "stuff" in your external space so you can get things moving in your inner life. It’s your inner self that’s got to make the shift so you'll finally do what needs to be done or stop doing those behaviors that are bringing you down.But how do we shift our inner life?  By shifting our outer life!

Sometimes we don't get what we ask for  . . . that is  . . . until we do.  We all get stuck from time to time, wondering about what's next or trying to figure out what to do.  But in this podcast, your host Cheri Honeycutt talks about being professionally stuck for four years.  Yes, FOUR YEARS.  The irony is, she was motivational speaker and coach who helped people gt unstuck!  But stuck she was until the day she got the clarity she needed.  In this podcast she discusses the lengths she went to find those answers and how, like Dorothy's red shoes, many of the answers she craved were there all along.    In the very first episode of A Well-Designed Life Cheri talks about her new venture Life by Design.  But more importantly she talks about listening to inspiration when it shows up. About allowing ourselves to change our minds and change directions and how important it is to sometimes re-calibrate and head into a new direction when our life isn’t working.Enjoy!
