Having It A.L.L.

Have you created your Word For The Year yet?

The "Word For The Year" is an annual tradition at Having It A.L.L.. We kick off each year with a powerful word or phrase that will provide focus, clarity and inspiration throughout the year, helping you to create real change in your life from the inside out.

New Year's Resolutions focus on the DOING, while Word For The Year focuses on the BEING (and that's where your best results will come from).

In today's episode I'm walking you through the 6 simple steps to creating your word for the year, and teaching you how to use this tool to make a big impact in 2023.

How effective are you at keeping your New Year's Resolutions?

Today we're talking about new year resolutions and why so many of us fail at keeping them going throughout the year.

I look at the statistics behind new years resolution failure, the most common resolutions set each year, and explore some reasons why they fail and tips to avoid failure. I also share an interesting psychological angle into why we don't succeed with our resolutions. But all of this is overshadowed by the #1 reason why we fail to accomplish our new years resolutions, which I share at the end!

What does family mean to you? Better yet, what does family FEEL like to you?

In today's episode we explore the idea of family. We look at what happens when we are family centered (that means we get our sense of security, wisdom, guidance and power from the people in our family and from our family reputation), and I talk about my experience of moving from a family center to something that better helped me to "have it all".

Are you familiar with visualization?

It's a technique that world class athletes and high achievers of all types, use to literally put themselves into a higher state of being, mentally and emotionally. Visualization helps these individuals live into their greatest selves. 

And it can do the same for you as well!

I practice visualization techniques regularly, and in today's episode I'm sharing with you what the practice is all about, how it's done, and why I absolutely feel it's a powerful pathway to reprogramming your subconscious to live your best life.

Do you feel you have work-life balance? Or are you one of the millions of people who are feeling out of balance because they've been using this old context to look at their lives?

If you are, don't stress out. I was too.

But I've realized that this concept of work-life balance does so much more harm than good, and actually results in a very ineffective way of looking at our lives.

In today's episode I'm sharing with you a different perspective for looking at how you can balance out the important things in your life. This perspective is one that I practice and teach all of my clients, and if you give it a try it will change your life!

Are you familiar with the mind-body connection?

Every person needs to understand the physical impact of their thoughts and beliefs. If you're not being intentional about this right now, then the chances are great that your self-talk is taking a toll on your physical health. 

In today's episode I talk about the mind-body connection, particularly as it relates to the labels we wear on about ourselves.

How do you build lasting self confidence?

I struggled with self confidence for a very long time. For years I operated with low self confidence and low self esteem, not having a clue as to how I could build them up. But as I found more personal development resources, I started reading books, watching lectures and listening to podcasts on the topic of "building self confidence". I became very well versed in what the experts had to say on the topic, yet none of that ACTUALLY helped me become more confident. The main reason wasn't because I failed to apply the lessons (although many times I did), the issue was that I didn't understand the groundwork of what self confidence is built upon.

In today's episode I bring to you some wisdom on self confidence that will help you - no matter how low your confidence is - take steps forward in developing real, lasting confidence with yourself.

This is no quick fix, but rather concrete insight from years of personal study, as well as thousands of hours coaching others on building their confidence. By the end of this episode you'll understand your missteps more clearly, and you will know how to walk the path of building real self confidence.
