Roots of Change, from survival to success with Diane Gudmundson

How many people spend their entire life blaming their environment, other people, situations, things they have to do, bills etc. for creating problems in their life? Once I had the eye-opening realization that we create our own problems, it actually was very freeing and allows me to live a much more peaceful life. Things do not have to be hard. Things do not have to all the problems. It’s all in our thinking and how we frame or situations in life and how we act or don’t act. Any questions can be forwarded to me at [email protected] and I do recommend reading the book called “dissolve the problem”. I hope you enjoy this episode😀

I had such awakenings and eye opening moments in recent weeks. Years ago, I thought I knew myself and I was independent and determined and all of these characteristics that led to my success. However, I was doing things or being the kind of person that was trying to meet somebody else’s definition of who I should be. OMG!! ..AHA!!! I have learned to be my authentic self, which is likely somewhere that you are not yet. Don’t worry, I genuinely believed that was my authentic self too!! Yes, I used to think I was, but now that I have made it to the point where I can actually be my authentic self,I realize that I was not being my true self in the past. It was due to a level of self deception that was engrained into me right from when I was young. Even all the decisions I made were based on what somebody else thought I should be or the way I should act or what was expected of me. Wow, now I have learned to have my own sense of self! Once you truly get this, you are able to set solid personal boundaries and stay being your true self and feel good about it. Why feel bad about being your true self just because other people say things about you or have expectations that are not in line with what you believe or what your top values are? The lessons I’ve learned in this area or profound and deep and will forever change my life because once you learn this, you cannot unlearn it!! Get a coach, and learn more about yourself every day, because it’s profoundly releasing and will forever change your life. If you have questions please don’t hesitate to email me at [email protected] and you can find me at www.dianegudmundson.com. Have a happy and inspiring day!

Are you at a point in your life where do you never seem to have enough time or money or energy or even love in your life? Does your life feel difficult and You keep telling yourself that things should not have to be this hard? Well, then you are a lot like me because I spent basically my entire life working hard and not getting the results that I thought I should be getting. When it comes to all the things such as time, energy, money, love… The way to get the things that you want are all the same. It all boils down to whom you’re being on the inside and our identity. My mentor is offering a workshop specific to money tomorrow August 17, 2021. The principal to attracting money to your life are the same as attracting energy and time and love! It’s workshop made a massive difference in my life and was the catalyst For my life transformation. The link to join this master class is here… https://tinyurl.com/3wt7n8dc. If you happen to miss the master class, please email me at [email protected] and I will connect you with more resources just like this…😀

In the past, I have focussed on the concept of personal boundaries as what I’m willing and what I’m not willing to live with. However, I would focus on trying to change or fix the other person to make them fit my model of the way things should be for myself. This is all about control and trying to change people which is very impossible and causes stress and is very draining. Control is an illusion and we definitely cannot control other people. What we do have control over is what we are willing to live with and we can sit our own personal boundaries. Personal boundaries are about us and not about the other person. We Can decide and be clear with ourselves as to what we I’m willing to be around and what we are willing to live with. But it’s up to us ourselves to set those clear boundaries and to limit exposure or get rid of whatever is causing the problem. This was an incredible lesson for me and was very freeing to learn how to set these boundaries in such a way to allow me to have peace and joy and freedom back in my life.

Here I am walking along my bush path listening to the birds chirping and the wind rustling in the leaves. I am so excited to talk to you about how triggers actually are a benefit to you and your own personal development. People around us are actually our best mirror which shows us what inside us is going on. We have been trained to believe that other people can cause us to have emotions. The truth is that for those emotions to get triggered it is actually something deep inside of us that we have not realized. Typically it’s a Blindspot which needs to be discovered by us. Through transformational coaching, I have learned so much about myself and what triggers me and it has helped me to grow and evolve as a human being to a huge degree and I am so thankful. Thank you for being here and thank you for listening and please find me on Instagram and send me a private message if you have any questions.

How often have you been told that we need to live in the present, and live each day like it’s our last etc. etc., But how many of us have a plied this to our life in a meaningful and useful way?I have learned how powerful it is to live in the now and to feel like being in a sense of meditation 24 hours per day. This is a powerful and magical way to live. Get rid of negative emotions like guilt and shame and get rid of things like anxiety and fear. Change your life dramatically by learning to live in the now. I talk about it on this episode and will definitely be speaking about it more as time goes on because this is a very powerful concept.

The topic of resourcefulness is so interesting to me as it is essential to have in order to live your best life. If we live in resignation, then we are being bound by weakness and limitation such as hoping, wishing, praying, and trying, which are words that have no power… If we are going to live as a limitless being and live in possibility knowing that there’s no problems and that there is only solutions, it dramatically changes your life because then you’re making decisions from your true self versus from circumstances or people or things outside of yourself. I learned my lessons too!! …and in this episode I’ll give you some of the tools that I used to allow myself to shift my thinking into living in possibility and learning how to catch myself to shift my thinking. Hypnosis and coaching dramatically helps in this as well so if you would like to have a consultation, please let me know. In the meantime if you have any questions or comments please send them to email [email protected] and I will be happy to answer your question or I will even create a podcast episode to answer your question in more detail. Thank you for listening and I will see you on the next episode! 😄

In this episode I talk about reaching the state of inner peace and well-being. We all have our own definition of what that is, however i used to think that well-being meant that I was fit and energetic. Meanwhile, outside of my fitness, I was tough, fiercely independent, easily angered, and irritable and also having a lot of worry and anxiety. Does that sound like inner peace to you? Does that sound like well-being? I don’t think so… If I can make a change after having the kind of childhood I had with trauma and abuse and neglect and 30+ years of overworking and overdoing and overachieving to try to prove I was worth something then anyone can do it!!! and… Spending many years alone not willing to accept help because I had a hard shell and I wasn’t willing to receive because “ I can do it by myself and I’m quite capable thank you…”. This is not a pleasant way to live when you really take a 30,000 foot view of it… What are ways that we can make a change? I realized that I developed awareness because I was doing the work to open up and I was finding it very difficult to be “gentle” and to be things like “sensual”… I pushed people away because it was easier than being self-aware and having to set boundaries… Because… People don’t like boundaries!! and you can hear more about boundaries by listening to episode number 11 where I talk about that boundaries are about you and not about the other person. The beginning point of self-awareness we can achieve starts by practising periods life where we are silent without our phones and without paper and without music and without other people around… Just our self… And our thoughts… Just starting with silence can give you awareness of what inside of you is causing some of the issues… And if you do need help, you may want to consider transformational hypnotherapy as this technique is very effective to peel back the layers and to create faster change. I am an advocate to help people get off the struggle bus and to get away from those emotional addictions that have a negative impact on our lives and that was why I made this podcast because I want to help people transform their life from the inside out!! If you have questions please don’t hesitate to email me at [email protected]. If you have questions, please submit them because I may answer your question on a podcast episode! Thank you again for listening ❤️

Self love was a concept I had no clue about it. I was not speaking nicely to myself or treating myself very well at all and did not realize it! No wonder I was not happy and did not have happy relationships. Just WOW. Self—acceptance is a whole other ball of wax too to learn and apply to your life. It changes everything!! Enjoy this episode and I will talk more about self love on future episodes

When a person has been through any degree of trauma, abuse, or neglect whether it’s in childhood or adulthood, you will almost 100% of the time have some degree of victim mindset that you are blind to. I went through much counselling and therapy and thought that my victim mentality was gone and soon realized… As I was going through transformational coaching myself… That victim mentality and thinking and living by circumstance was still invading my life far more than I thought. OMG 😱 Just take a few minutes to listen and build the awareness for yourself About what victim mindset really is and how it has an impact on your peace, happiness, and your life… It has a huge impact and until you become fully aware, you will actually have this Blindspot that will cause problems for you. I will talk more about this issue and we are thinking on future episodes as well because this topic is very important to life transformation and moving into a positive existence.
