Barriers to setting boundaries:
As children we are told what to do. We are taught to honor their boundaries but never taught how to set our own.
Boundaries: Two types
Let’s look at two types of boundaries. Physical and emotional. Physical boundaries are just that. Your body and your space. Everyone needs different things in their lives. Defining those things are your boundaries. Hugging or no hugging? I grew up with very little...
Boundaries: Why are they important?
Boundaries is a big word. For some people it is scary because they feel if they set a boundary, the other person could be upset. Nobody wants to deal with that. But is it really about them? No. Not with a boundary. A boundary is about you. It shows people how you want...
Intention: 5 year vision
When I wrote my first vision statement, it all came together. It was a story about my future life. Now, I had a path to follow.
Intention: Time
I have learned that with intention for my work and my time I am so much more productive and so much happier.
Intention: Who are you?
Start with the basics. What was important to you? Where, What and How do you want you life to look? Many of us never take time to do this.
Intention: Is it important?
I have been thinking about intention. How and when did I make what I wanted a priority? In the past, I felt like I just floated from thing to thing. When I went to college I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, so I went with what someone suggested. Then when I was...
Holding Belief
The first thing I do for my clients is believe. I believe they will find the career or life they don’t see or can even imagine.
Future Focused: Belief
When we believe, we can make things happen. There may be some blocks along the way but they don’t stop us, if we stay in belief.
Future Focused
Without dreaming you won’t know what you want in the future. Picturing your future life will give you direction and it can make it come true.
Responsibility: You have the power
Any career is great if you are happy doing it. It comes down to the lifestyle you want. Taking responsibility for your life is very powerful.
Responsibility
Everything we have in our life we created. Our friendships, our relationships, and our careers. The decisions we make create our lives.
Having your Back
Having your own back is a concept that sounds so easy but it has been one of the hardest things for me to master. A lot has to do with my childhood. My mother is a narcissist. It was always about her and her needs. I had to learn the difference of being selfish and...
New perspective:Change your relationships
A new perspective can bring a large change. If we change one thought, we can change a relationship and can help all areas of your life.
Clarity: Increases your confidence
Clarity breeds confidence. When we know who we are we gain confidence. I think it is confusion that brings insecurity.Confidence is a big factor in finding your next thing. It is easy to stay at a job we know. It is the unknown that can be scary. When we are looking...
Clarity: About where you are now
I decided to get clear on how I wanted to live my life. I looked at how I wanted to live before even thinking about work.
Reflection brings insight
Reflection helps you get to the first step by really seeing what is happening in your life. Reflection is about gathering information.
Attitude is everything
It all comes down to my attitude. How does your attitude effect you? How is your attitude changing your life?
What we look for we find
What we look for we find. If you look for the good, you find good. If you look for the negative, you will find that.
Relationship plan
I intentionally decided what I wanted last year and I made it happen.
Living intentionally is what a plan is all about.
