Have you fallen prey to the thinking, “I just have X amount of years to hang in there until retirement. Then I can start living the life I want!”?  This thinking is more common than we care to admit, but it doesn’t have to be YOUR thinking!  

In today’s episode, we talked about the difference between thinking that “life” begins when you hit that retirement goal, and how that mindset can leave us feeling stuck, frustrated, and unfulfilled.  Yet, there is another choice and that is to start “living” now, and making intentional plans for “mini retirements” along the way.  

Have you written out the things you want to do in retirement?  Why are you waiting?  Thinking differently can open your heart and mind to creating memories NOW, if even on a smaller scale, and this will help make the time until retirement more enjoyable and meaningful.  

Listen in for some real life examples of what we are doing, and the role our parents played in this way of thinking and believing.  And if you are a parent, you definitely should listen in!  Our tomorrows are not guaranteed, so let’s encourage each other to make the most of each day, month, and year, and start living NOW!

Our mission is to have a global impact on lives, as we inspire and equip women to “wake up” and start dreaming!  You play an important part in increasing our reach, so please SHARE this episode with your friends, family, and co-workers. Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!

“Life is not about finding yourself; Life is about creating yourself.”  George Bernard Shaw

Today we had the privilege of talking with Mom Mentor and Wellness Coach, Christie Deiter.  Christie is a mom of 3 with a passion to help moms thrive.  Her own journey with pregnancy and postpartum fuels her desire to provide women with a simple and do-able method created to help women in every stage of life to thrive.  So often we hear how important it is to think positive thoughts and control our thought life, and yes this is true; but Christie discovered that the missing component in her identity was her body and exercise.

So, Christie has created what she calls The THRIVE Method.  She describes it as having 3 phases:

1. Visualize the “You” you want to become
2. Limiting Beliefs
3. Embodiment- How you want to show up in each hour of your day.  Schedule in your breaks and fun as well.

Christie is also a Beach Body Coach, and can incorporate that into her coaching, if you desire.  The best way to know if this would be a good fit for you is to schedule a call with her.  For more info on her Course click on this link to learn more https://uplevel1.teachable.com/p/the-thrive-method?fbclid=IwAR1dVPK77DVtvthKsPlsoQURY5AKEtIe0O9XfyjhgSDkYABpWPpVN7Yimd4

Feeling out of control?  Struggling with your thoughts and feelings?  Kelly shared some simple and impactful recommendations on how to start your day.  We want to encourage you to take responsibility and control the start of your day! It is a gift we can give to ourselves!

Kelly referenced the book Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod and Rob Actis as a great resource to help you get started.  The book encourages you to create a habit of starting your day with these simple, doable practices.  Get in the habit of getting up one hour earlier than you usually do, and give yourself the gift of time for YOU.  We can’t control how the rest of our days will be, but this one hour we can, and it can change your whole attitude and approach to your day, and the situations and people you encounter.  Consider this one hour each day not as another “to-do” but as a gift that you give yourself.  

The book uses the acronym SAVERS to help you remember the important parts of your “miracle morning.”  These are:

S- Silence (5 minutes) 

Breathe through your heart and focus on your breath.

A- Affirmations (5 minutes)

Some examples: I am beautiful.  I am grateful for everything. I am consistent.  I believe in my       potential and not my past. I have the ability to change and create anything in my life, starting now.

V- Visualization (5 minutes)

Take these minutes to close your eyes and visualize your dream job or the home you dream about living in.  Evoke your senses and create some emotion as you visualize this as your reality.

E- Exercise (20 minutes)

Don’t have to go to a gym.  Put on some headphones and find a video on Youtube.

R- Read (20 minutes)

This is not reading on your phone!  This is a self-improvement book or personal growth book to expand your thinking and feed your brain “good stuff.”

S- Scribing/Journaling (5 minutes)

This is so important, to get your thoughts out on paper.  Maybe this will be about what happened yesterday, or what you just read, or how you are feeling after spending the last hour focusing on you.

In today’s episode, we reviewed Bob Proctor’s definition of a paradigm as a set of habitual behaviors and beliefs that almost exclusively determine our results.  Paradigms are neither good nor bad; they just are.  Growing our awareness helps us determine which paradigms are serving us and moving us in the direction we desire, and which are not!  Sara shared with us the two aspects needed in order to change your paradigm: 1) Becoming Aware, and 2) Taking Action.  There is a big difference between knowing what to do and actually DOING it!  Can you relate?

Changing a paradigm is deeper than just changing a behavior.  Pick just ONE paradigm to focus on and go “all in” on that one thing. 

Awareness is the first step.  Sara gave this example in the episode:  If you want to change your paradigm around yelling at your kids, you first need to become consciously aware that you are doing it and have a desire to work on you!  What are the thoughts and feelings you have around this paradigm?  What are the thoughts and feelings you desire to have around the new paradigm of “I remain calm and give myself a 15-second deep breath break.”  Yelling is a habit, and changing our behavior starts first with learning to change our thoughts and feeling and deciding, and even visualizing how we WANT to show up in those situations.  Just give yourself those 15-seconds can help you show up for your kids!  And your attitude will be contagious.  Remember, where your focus goes, your energy flows!  

Give this a try and be sure to let us know what new paradigm you are committed to creating in your life and/or business.  We always love hearing from you, and that is why we created a free Facebook community for you to continue learning and getting the support needed to make these shifts!  Join us here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wakeupanddream/

Thanks again for joining us!  Today’s topic is Paradigms!  Before I joined my business coaching program, I had never heard of paradigms and had no idea what they were let alone how they impacted my daily life and my preferred future!  This is huge because Bob Proctor’s definition of paradigms is this:  A set of habitual behaviors and beliefs that almost exclusively determine your results.  So what does this mean?  It means that we have habitual thinking, beliefs, and behaviors running our life, and so much of them we are not even aware of.

But the good news is this:  Paradigms are not good or bad, but can be either, depending on the thoughts, beliefs, and habitual behaviors we CHOOSE each day!  This allows us to take back our power, to take responsibility for our results, and step in the direction of the preferred future we desire!

Becoming AWARE is the first step to creating the paradigms that serve you, instead of just running in the “ruts” of our “stinkin’ thinking!”  In this podcast, we help you understand what paradigms are, the role they play in our lives, and also give you some practical suggestions for helping you uncover the paradigms that are holding you back from that preferred future you desire!  Listen in for more of the details and be encouraged!  You have us in your corner, and we are here for you!  Connect with us in our free Facebook community:

Living life with passion and purpose is often birthed out of a challenging experience or life event.  Today we chatted with Marie Camacho, the founder of One Tough Cookie, a non-profit organization on mission to support and encourage those going through cancer as well as their caregivers.  Marie is a mom of 2 and a Breast Cancer survivor.  During her battle, she was so grateful for the love and support she received, but also knows that for many, this can be a lonely and scary time, and that is where Marie’s heart shines brightest! 

Marie wanted to use her pain for purpose so she founded One Tough Cookie in November 2019 and it has been growing ever since!   Her organization puts together care packages and delivers them to cancer patients in local hospitals in Connecticut and New Jersey - This year, they plan to expand to New York as well!  OTC has delivered over 1000 care packages in the area and sends care packages across the US to those tough cookies that have been nominated on her site. 

Marie wants patients to know that they never have to feel alone and her organization has a passion for being there and making them feel loved and supported.  

Want to get involved and make an impact through OTC?  They always are looking for monthly sponsors, volunteers, and corporate sponsorship so they can continue serving.  You can also donate products or sponsor a “Tough Cookie” right from the website. So be sure to check out all the ways you can get involved on the site: https://www.supportonetoughcookie.com/

And if you are a patient, you can reach out to Marie directly at [email protected].

If you have ever felt stuck in a job, career, relationship, etc. or experience the feeling of “being on the fence” about a decision or a life direction, you know it is a horrible place to be!

So, here is the question to ask yourself:  Do you want the best for you?

In this episode, Kelly shares that we make 35,000 decisions each and every day, yet some of us get stuck when wanting to make a decision in our life, family, career, or otherwise!  What stops us?

• Fear

• Not knowing what to do

These seem like the two obvious reasons we can stay stuck or not make that decision.  But is it really that we don’t know what to do?  NO, because if we are honest, we can always find the resource to help us know what we would need to do.  It is more about WHO we are BEING, who we are showing up as, and the mindset that is dominant that is the issue.

Join us in our FREE Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wakeupanddream/ where you will have access to an incredible article by Bob Proctor called “Decision.”  We need to see ourselves in a future memory.  We need to tap into our imagination and feel it, breathe it, and let the emotions of it come alive in full color.

Kelly also referred to a podcast by Mel Robins, and in it she encouraged anyone struggling with confidence in themselves and their decision-making ability to do these 3 things each and every morning:

1. Do NOT hit the snooze button

2. Make your bed

3. Give yourself a “High Five” in the mirror!

You are worthy of not only dreaming great things for yourself and your family, but you already have everything inside of YOU to make the Decision in alignment with wanting the best for yourself!

Question for you:  Do you believe that life happens TO you or that you have the choice to create the life you desire?  So many would probably say the latter, but do their lives aptly reflect this as their truth?  Today’s episode dives into the fact that we were created to create!  We are different from the animal and plant kingdom, as we are made in the image of our Creator, and that means we were created with the ability to create…to create our lives, create our days, and create our future realities!

We are always creating results!  Yep, that’s true.  But are we creating the results we desire? Lisa shares how our dominant thoughts create our feelings, which spark action or lack of action and ultimately produce the results we have in our lives.  How about you?  Are your dominant thoughts like this: “I don’t have a choice.  I am stuck in this job and should just be grateful because it pays the bills. If I can just make it to retirement, then I will get to do what I truly want.”  This thinking will keep you stuck, frustrated and unfulfilled.

Sara encouraged us that creating your life may seem like a daunting task, but we get to also create our days and the moments in our days!  And guess what?  Your kids are watching you, and what attitude and action you take towards your dreams will play a huge role in how they approach their life as they grow up.  Lead by example and take those risks, step outside of your comfort zone and CREATE the life that others will only dream of!

There are many different kinds of coaches out there, but many people are unclear or misinformed about what a Life and Mindset Coach is so we thought we would tackle that in this episode.  Each of us hired a business coach about 2 years ago, and when she pivoted her business to mindset, and then offered us the opportunity to become certified Mindset and Life Coaches, we were all in.  Because what we have learned is that to become successful in whatever we are aspiring to accomplish must first be well grounded in the inner mindset work.

Here are 3 things that a Mindset/Life coach can help you with:

1. Help you move from where you are right now to where you want to be.
2. Help you see patterns in your thinking (belief system) that are holding you back.
3. Help you create goals that WORK; giving you the tools to manage your time and mind, while holding you accountable with taking intentional action.

Join us in our Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/wakeupanddream/ where this week we will have a “Q&A” Session on Wednesday to answer more of your questions regarding the value of working with a coach.
