No one taught me to how to think...
Up until the age of 22, no one had sat me down and taught me how to think. I was taught how to walk, talk, ride a bike, math, but not how to think.
Why a belief plan is more important than your action plan
I was asked to be a speaker at an ‘upgrade your mindset’ event a few weeks back and I thought it was profound how many participants came up to me afterwards to hear more about my comment that “we need to spend more time on creating a belief plan than on an action plan”.
What to do when you get triggered
I used to hate the feeling that emerged whenever I was triggered. If I read an email that didn’t sit right with me, had an interaction with a co-worker that had me spinning, or an argument with my partner that went south, I would run from the feelings of shame, rejection, or anger and blame the person who triggered me for my feelings.
What do you want to excite you?
For many years, food was the most exciting part of my day. This started as a child and went unchecked for many years until the weight started accumulating and my energy started depleting.
How not to give in!
One of the most transformative tools I teach my clients is how to allow an urge. Whenever we want to stop doing something, whether that is to stop overdrinking, stop over eating, stop checking phones for messages, stop cleaning, stop texting that ex-boyfriend, then it is vital to master this skill.
