Friend hello!

Today’s about gratitude. A simple practice yet not always easy, have you noticed?

When things are going your way, sure: easy to feel grateful!!!

But how about when they’re not, and you want things to be different: with yourself, family, the world around you, how’s for you then?

Because here’s where the practice will save you. Notice the word “practice”. It’s a practice, the practical application, has much to give you, making it worth doing!

Listen in for the simple practice I describe for you. Please share comments and this podcast with those around you challenged, wanting more: joy, peace or love in their life.

5 minute assessment, find out where your mind is off track, and undermining you!

With love to you my friend,

Claudia

Friend hello!

I was wondering, are you able to keep the faith when you don’t see results? Or worse getting the opposite of what you thought’d happen from your efforts?

If you’ve struggled with faith, or the lack of it, or the discouragement struggling to keep going with your efforts. Maybe even blaming someone or yourself for the situation. Finding it zapping your energy and wondering if it’s even worth it…(Know you’re not alone)

Today’s for you.

In times of uncertainty it’s challenging to stay on track especially when things don’t appear to be going well.

I invite you to join me to connect into the gift of faith and how it’s there for you even when you may feel far away from it.

If you’d like support to boost your faith, and gain clarity on what’s next for you, join me for a SAY YES to YOU 1:1 virtual session with me, you deserve to SAY YES.

With love,

Claudia

Friend hello!

Recently physical pain reminded me: while pain’s unavoidable, suffering is a choice, and completely driven by my focus.

If you’re in pain (emotional or physical) you too know the the all consuming-ness of it.

These few lessons may help ease your suffering, because “pain is inevitable but suffering my friend, is optional”.

The 3 lessons plus one I discovered. (I’m sure there’s more, please share if you found them).

The first notice whether your mind is consumed by the painful 25% instead of the well 75%? This was a big one, my 25% physical pain was consuming 75% of my mind which reminded me, my mind is up to me, and that is the beginning of your lesson.

I hope you’ll listen in for the remainder and share your comments.

Because regardless of of emotional/physical pain, your joy and peace are there too.

Consider booking a one-to-one session to ease suffering and prioritize your health, well-being and peace of mind. The link is here.

With love,

Claudia

Managing Your Mind (So It Doesn’t Manage You).

Today’s about the constant busyness, high stress, and difficulty slowing down are signs their mind is running them.

We explore living by “shoulds,” and what can happen, I’ve a family member who sadly is a great example of it, I hope you’ll listen in.

Do: consider “What you need?” let’s explore using Byron Katie-style questions to challenge knee-jerk thoughts, build discernment, and cultivate peace as a daily practice, like strengthening a muscle.

Is it time for you? to set up a one-to-one strategy session: asking for help is a strength not weakness (the mind can convince you otherwise).

As a game changer in the health and well-being community and what he’s embraced since the late 1950s—

Listen in, join the conversation.

Love to hear, which you do or want in your life for your best self?

As summer’s winding down, and fall approaches, it’s the perfect time to embrace your plan for your best self. If you don’t prioritize your, it won’t happen.

Here’s an invite to jump start this decision to YOU: 30-minute consult to assess what’s working and create a personal plan to pull in your best self.

Friend hello!

If you’ve ever wished you were more influential, you’re not alone. And what if it wasn’t so hard and it actually had the ability to change your life to get more of what you want?

I think it’s really at the heart of Mahatma Gandhi’s message “be the change you want to see in the world”.

One of the things I learned in my weight struggles years ago, was the power I had to create what I was experiencing.

Today it’s this I’d love to share with you Please join me on Say YES to YOU and join the conversation.

And if you’re wondering why change is so challenging for you, do take the 5 minute self sabotage assessment (because research shows the majority of us do it). to understand how you unknowingly get in your way.

Be the change you want to see in the world,” explaining its connection to Mahatma Gandhi’s message that changing yourself changes your outer world. She invites women who often say yes to others to start saying yes to themselves, recommending a five-minute assessment: https://bit.ly/mental-checkup to build awareness of self-sabotage and why change is hard.

Friend hello!

Consider how past family stories may be shaping your present and future. What if you challenged your beliefs such as…“I’ve never been able to,” “I’m just like my mother,” or “people like us can’t be healthy,” because: repeating these narratives keeps your past active in the mind creating the same repeated outcome.

Your mind is programmed daily. Given this: change is possible even after many years, though not overnight.

Join me and listen in to this weeks Say YES to YOU podcast, and because it’s hard to get there on your own. I invite you to take advantage of a 1:1 “Say Yes To You” https://bit.ly/SayYEStoYOU consult to help identify stories you may not be able to see clearly on your own.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments.

With love,

Claudia

Friend hello!

Consider reflecting on your reactions when others get upset—whether you backtrack, feel guilty, or tell yourself you’re selfish—often these are past learned experiences reinforced by the (inner judge/critical) voice inside.

What if you reframe this, so your discomfort can be shifted as you make necessary changes? Today’s about this, do hope you’ll listen in.

To gain greater clarity on the patterns keeping you away from where you want to be take the “Sabotage Assessment” it’s a beginning to identify the nine subtle self-sabotage patterns affecting your life.

Love to hear your comments on how you practice what we talk about today or how it’s a struggle and what you’d like to do differently.

Thank you for being here, sharing and subscribing it means so much.

With love,
