Empowered Life: You Can Achieve Your Goals

I was so excited to hear all of your feedback, it was great. I love hearing from you guys, hearing how you are feeling, and hearing how you are doing, so keep the comments coming in!

One of the questions that someone asked after the last show was, ‘how do I go about achieving my goals?’  I know you hear me talking about my goals all the time, which is important part of planning process. Speak your goals out so the Universe can know what you want. But, to be honest, there were times when I started to beat my self up if I didn’t get all of them accomplished in the exact time I wanted. I decided to stop doing that because it wasn’t loving, and it wasn’t really helping. I  started staying in flow and celebrating what I was able to accomplish instead of stewing on what I couldn’t get done. This is an easy step to be able to succeed, stay in the flow and celebrate. It creates a mind set of miracles and gratitude versus disappointment and discouragement. So, whatever it is you want to accomplish, whatever it is you want to achieve, give your self permission to celebrate the little ‘wins’ on the way.

So, what is something that most people don’t normally think about when working on their goals? Clarity. You might wonder why being clear about your goals is a necessary factor, especially when you have already decided what you want to work on. But, I really encourage every one of you to spend some more Jodie Baudek Change Your Life Webinarstime getting very clear on exactly what it is you want to manifest. The Universe has a great sense of humor even though we might not think it is funny, but it will eventually give you what you ask for! I was at a taping of Steve Harvey last week and he was joking about how he asked God to help take him globally. I think we can all agree, after that big mixup at the Beaty Pageant, he did became global… just not in the way he was expecting.

What else can you do to get closer to your goals? Are you a visual person? Have you started your vision board? The more specific you are, the easier it is for you to draw it into your life. Spend some time in your own space reflecting on what you really want. Are you sure what you are hoping to manifest is going to bring you want you really want in life. You might be surprised that beneath that dream, is something else that is being covered up. So, getting clear on your goals is also a way to save your self some time too.

Another thing that is important to consider when working on goals is ‘Where is your focus?’ For example, when we focus on what type of relationship we don’t want, we are still thinking about what we don’t want: that idea is still in our mind. Focus on what type of person you would like to be with, focus on the characteristics you admire and like. Are you already in a good relationship that you are forgetting to appreciate? Make it a point to spend time together, schedule a date, schedule time to focus and connect.

What about career? Establishing a new career is a very common goal for people. Actually, quite a few people have told me that they are not happy in their careers and they wish they could do something else. How about if you change your mindset and make that career that you are already in an investment for your future career? When I started my studio, I quit my ‘job’ because I thought I had to go all in. I had no investors or partners and did it all on my own. But looking back now, if I had of done it little differently, I would have kept that ‘job’ to be one of my investors so I would have had a little more time to explore, and a little less stress carrying all the financial burden.

Put it out there but take a little action every day. You have to be prepared to do the work that goes along with your goals. But, don’t get so focused on a plan that it will happen a certain way.  Is the Universe trying to bless you and you can’t see it because you are looking for it to come in a different way? Allow your self to receive, allow your self to believe in you. There may be some really dark moments, but that could be the moment before you have a breakthrough. The worst thing to do is give up. You may have set backs, you may become discouraged, you may even doubt you can do what you put your mind to. But, those are just moments that will make achieving your goal even sweeter. One of my clients started to try and talk herself into not working on her goals anymore because they seemed to difficult. Well, she knew enough to schedule a life coaching session so she could be reminded that she was worth it, and that she could do it. Sometimes all we need is a little reminder. So, remember our mantra this year is to love, laugh, forgive and dream big.

Namaste,

Empowered Life: Love, Laugh, Give and Dream Big

Today I want to talk to you guys about something I am choosing to make my mantra for the entire year.

Love, Laugh, Give and Dream Big.

We are all destined for greatness but sometimes we don’t love our self enough, or we may even feel if we do step into our greatness, our loved ones won’t come along with us. You don’t really know what others will do, or how they will react to you making positive changes in your life. But, you can trust that you will be a better spouse, or friend, or teacher, and person, if you love your self enough to move forward.

LaughWhat about laughter? Are you laughing enough? This question may sound silly to you but laughter is the best healing medicine that you could ask for. If you are depressed, get out and surround your self with really great people. Go watch a comedy, accept that invitation to the party you don’t feel like going to. Laughter is contagious and it brings people together from all different walks of life. Don’t be afraid to let your self go a little and find that laughter waiting inside. Look at life through the eyes of a child and tap into that wonder and awe they have.

What about forgiveness? The one person we don’t often forgive is our self. Are you so goal orientated that you beat your self up when you aren’t able to accomplish what you want right away? Did you stay in a relationship that you knew better to stay in, or did you not trust your intuition? I want you to stop beating your self up! Start forgiving your self. But, I don’t want you to stop there, forgive others too. People are doing the best they can and sometimes they don’t even know what they have done.

What about giving? Have you ever heard when you give you also receive? Let your self give. When you give, you learn to let go. Give people permission to live their own journey, that is their journey. What is your journey? How many times have you shrunk back in your life and you were afraid that everything you wanted was starting to happen? Don’t let fear of success sabotage your choice to achieve what you have set your mind to.

EachStepIsABrick

What are your dreams?

You may have a dream, which maybe just one brick on a long path.

From that brick you can start building and creating something new everyday.

Say yes to those opportunities that show up.

Sometimes that dream is going to be for a season or reason to help you with your next dream.

What is one of the best ways to give back to the world? It is to inspire. Maybe your path hasn’t been taken by others. You can help others along their path by inspiring them. You have no idea who is watching you and paying attention. Dream big and laugh along the way and find forgiveness when things don’t work out the way you think they should.

There is so much guidance that we don’t often pay attention to. Sometimes we have to get out of our own way.

This week I want you to…

Love, Laugh, Give and Dream Big.

Celebrate your small accomplishments, it’s not about the big things, it’s about every brick that you lay along this journey called life.

Namaste,

Empowered Life: Clearing Out To Make Room For The New

Today I would like to talk about clearing out your past to make room for your future. How many times have you held onto things that you don’t really need and don’t even realize they are taking up space in your life?

clearingouttomakeroomforsomethingnewHave you made some real changes in your mind and your body, but keep looking back and begin to question your own choices?

Let’s go and clean out some things so you don’t have permission to go back to your old life. Invest in your self, in new schooling, training, or whatever you need to do at this time. What about that crazy desk drawer that barely opens and closes?

If you take the time to organize, then you also take the time to let go, and if you let go, you give your self the space you need to grow and evolve.

You know what you are good at. That is your gift, go and share it, don’t waste your time trying to manage everything. Your weakness may be someone else’s strength. You don’t have to handle every single aspect of your home or business.

Isn’t your time so important? Are you using your most precious gift or are you letting it slip between your fingers because you are too busy to notice life passing you by?

The most beautiful present you can give to anyone is to be fully present… wherever you are, and with whomever you are with.

Don’t let guilt stop you from making choices you know are good for you. If you invest in your self, do you think those closest around you will also benefit?

There is a new year the day you decide to change.

Make Room For The Future

The new space in your life starts when you choose something new to create.

When you start making choices for the changes you want in your life,

your life will respond by changing!

Pay attention to your self, to what you are doing, to what you are thinking, to what you are eating, to what you are taking in, and what you are sending out.

I want you to spend time with people who are uplifting, listen to shows that are inspiring and engaging, and surround your self with the circumstances that will ensure you are where you want to really be.

Give your self permission to get rid of the past, it served you well, it helped you get to where you are right now. But, now that you are ready to move into a great future it is time to re-start your life by clearing out to make room so that new future can begin.

Namaste,

Empowered Life: Write The Next Best Chapter of Your Life

Today I want to talk to you about writing the next best chapter of your life. You might doubt that it can be possible, but you are the one who gets to write your story. Things may seem challenging right now, things may even seem a little overwhelming: But, you have to tell your self that your life is incredible, and then start to pay attention to all the signs that it really is.

If you choose to do things differently, maybe those overwhelming things won’t keep showing up for you.

WriteTheNextBestChapterofYourLifeThis show is about how to make some changes.

When you are at home and feeling sad and blue, change your address. Does the mean I want you to move? No, I want you to get out of your space and go meet up with some people. Check out your community. Start networking. Start meeting incredible people and building amazing relationships.

Maybe you finances are not in order, is that a reflection of something else in your life? Are you eating to nourish and support your self.  Or are you nightly going and buying over priced fast foods? Are you eating when you are hungry or over eating out of boredom or sorrow?

Start doing things that can help and maintain your physical health. And focusing on being healthy does not have to mean hyper focusing on what might be “wrong” either. There are many different ways to get your self back in order.

Don’t be afraid to try something new.

It is so much easier to focus on the negative in life. But lets exert a little more energy and try to see what is right with your world. Get your self connected with those of like minds, with those who want to help others and help themselves.

Grab opportunities that you would not normally consider. What if that opportunity was a gift from the Universe and you turned it down? Challenge your self to get to the next level. The people you admire have something in common. They pushed themselves, they challenges themselves, and they did not give up.

In order to write the next best chapter of your life, take time out for you. You might change somebody’s life just by changing your own.

I challenge you to do something that scares you. Use that fear to motivate you to overcome your own self-imposed limitation. What are you goals? What are you grateful for? What is your action plan?

Let the Universe show up for you.

I believe in you, I really want you to believe in your self.

Namaste,

Empowered Life: You “Get To”, Not You’ve “Got To”

Today I want to talk to you about the importance of taking care of yourself during stressful times, and some tips for handling them. Depending on what season you are in, whether it be a season of your life, or the holidays, or wherever you are. A lot of times we can put enormous pressure on ourselves, especially during the holidays without even knowing it.

We have a tendency of putting so many expectations on ourselves.. especially during the Holiday months. We have to buy the perfect gifts, make the perfect food, buy the best outfit, and the list goes on and on. What is supposed to be a joyous time in your life has become a burden.

I want you to switch that thought in your mind and think …

“I get to” not “I have to”

It’s all comes down to you and how you think about things. If you just take a step back to take it all in, you get to see how happy you are in your own life. Flip you perspective and look at it this way. You get to do all of these things thanks to a healthy body, you get to pick out a new outfit, you get to eat amazing food, and you get the opportunity to spend time with people you may not see that often.

Everything is an opportunity. When you get to do all of these things, you get to live in a place of gratitude.

Living in a state of gratitude changes your quality of life.

Do you judge a book by the cover?

Holiday

UnknownWhat is your journey?

The past is not to be used for blame. Change your story, in your mind. You learned, and you grew. There is something you took away from every single experience in your life. You are learning about yourself. You get to choose how you spend your time and what you do with your mind.

Is there something in your mind that takes over without you even knowing? You can stop it from growing and getting out of control.

Tell yourself that you are worthy and deserve all the blessings the world has to offer you.

Take yourself to a place of gratitude and watch what happens.

Make your story incredible. You choose your words, you choose your thoughts.

What happens when you start living from a place of gratitude?

Don’t forget to send in your comments.

I hope to hear from you.

Namaste,

Empowered Life: Always Evolving and Growing

This week I would like to work on a few different relationship issues.

Do you have a relationship that needs a little bit of work, or maybe even one that you would like to take to the next level?

Today we discuss some easy ways to work on relationships that we often thought we couldn’t change, or make better.

What are some things that are interfering with you enjoying meaningful, fulfilling relationships with others?

always evolving and growingDon’t we all start relationships with others for a certain reason? Unless it is immediate family when we are young, for the most part we choose the people we spend time with. How do you get back to that place where you were excited to be with those you care about? We can have an abundance of positive, supportive and encouraging relationships that can help us to move forward and appreciate this amazing life.

What is the most relationship that you have? The one with your self.

I also would like to share a little trick I use to live in a state of abundance, that was very easy and fun! Do you often think that having enough is beyond your means right now? You deserve to not only have an abundance of people who nurture you, you deserve to have abundance of wealth too.

What other areas do you need to work on? We are always evolving and growing. You can make little choices that help you to get where you want. You can you enjoy this journey that you are on.

Aren’t you worth it?

You need to allow your self to step into your greatness.

But you don’t need to do it alone. We have a community here you can tap into at any time. We have free webinars, blogs, radio programs, youtube tv episodes all created with you in mind.

Namaste,
