3 Mindset Shifts To Get Your Power Back

One of my most important passions is helping a driven woman like you make self-care a daily habit.

The reason this is so important to me is that I don’t want anyone to experience the level of burnout I experienced in my life.

By making daily self-care a norm, you can keep overwhelm and burnout out of your experience and still be driven and successful!

I’m going to share with you 3 mindset shifts to make to start thinking about today.

1. When You practice self-care it gives to the power to put your best self into the world.

It is a common belief that self-care is just selfish and it should only be done when you have extra time or maybe after you worked yourself to death.

This is so untrue. 

Think about the person you put forward when you're not rested.

You can be cranky, don’t have a clear mind to make good...

Get Unstuck Series - Finding Your “WHY” And Why It’s Important

Continuing on with the Get Unstuck Series I want to add to the creation of your big dreams and goals.

You see I believe that you can have greater success and also faster success by really digging deep and learning what your “WHY” is.

 Listen to the podcast version of this blog post >>HERE<< 

So what is your “WHY”?

Your “WHY” is the reason this big goal or dream is important to you. 

When you set a big dream or goal that might seem hard, heck, it might seem impossible, you need to know why it’s important to you in order to stay in it for the long haul.

You see, sometimes you need to take many small steps to reach a big goal and it can get hard sometimes, challenging, and you may even have some setbacks.

You can sometimes get to a point where you feel defeated, almost like you’ll never get there.

This is where your...

6 Coaches & Healers Share Their Top Self-Care Practices

We all know that self-care is important for our well-being, our health, and our happiness. Yet many of us don't take the time to add these practices into our daily lives.

 In this special guest blog post, 6 coaches and healers, including myself,  share some of our favorite self-care practices that you can start using today. I hope you enjoy!

Let's get started.

 Tina Stinson

One of my favorite most powerful deep-level self-care practices is bringing myself back into the present moment.

When I’m feeling stressed or anxious it's usually coming from a thought or a feeling from the past or a worry about something in the future. 

These are two things that don’t exist and we have complete control over how they affect us.

All I do is, as soon as I’m feeling that stressed anxious feeling, take a few deep breaths to ground myself in my body. I acknowledge how I’m feeling and ask myself...

What Do You Think Your Limitations Are?

 So as you begin to dream bigger and set big goals what does the voice say in your head?

 What do you think might be blocking you, stopping you from having everything you dream of?

 At the moment you write down that big dream, what pops up in your head? Pay attention because a lot of the time, we are so used to this negative voice in our head, we don’t even notice it.

 When working with people and when I’m working on my dreams we will often think, I have a block. 

 What is my block? Why can’t I figure it out? Why can’t I get there?

 Well over time I learned it's hiding right there in your head, you just have to pay attention.

 So the next time you're working on something or writing out your goals and desires in the morning, stop for a moment and listen.

 What is that voice saying? Some people call it the ego, and some have a name for it. Negative Nancy, Debbie Downer, Party...

What Standards Do You Use As Your Guide?

When you are doing something in your life whether it be your work, the way you eat, work out, your relationships, or the way you have fun, what do you use as a standard guide to what you do and how you do it?

For example, do you feel you have to put in a certain amount of time to earn a certain amount of money? Or, do you believe that you solve a problem or finish a job and you should get paid? A lot of people believe and a lot of corporations believe you should trade time for money but I think this just creates the opportunity for less than desirable outcomes and unhappy people. 

I think we should focus on doing the best possible work in the least amount of time by being intentional with the way we do things. 

How about working out? Do you ever limit yourself because you might think or society might think, you’re this old and you can’t do that, or you shouldn’t do that? 

I hear this all the time about...

Being Reasonable VS Dreaming Big

When we were little kids our parents read us beautiful stories about amazing things. We were encouraged to dream big, and use our imagination, the bigger the better, the more creative the better. As a matter of fact, I remember doing this on the daily, and living this way was complete bliss.

I had a whole dream world going on and in this world, I had complete control of how everything played out. 

Well, believe it or not, this is really how our world works, we get what we have the courage to ask for and if you ask for small you will get small.

Then as we get older we are told to color in the lines, follow the rules, be quiet, respect authority, be reasonable, blah blah blah. 

So which is it? It’s a bit confusing, right? 

Well being reasonable never got anyone anywhere fabulous. I would argue that anyone who has any amazing experiences in their life had to have some big unreasonable...

Get Unstuck Series - Learning Your Dreams, Passions, & Purpose

In this next episode of the “Get Unstuck Series” I thought it would be good to talk about how to dream big, and find your passions, & purpose. 

What does that even mean?

Speaking from experience, when I was feeling beyond stuck. I mean, I was so freaking stuck I couldn’t even begin to know what I wanted. 

I had to start reconnecting with myself. Who was I now, who was I before, what do I want, Am I even allowed to dream big? 

I mean I actually used to think, why bother? I was so beaten down that I didn’t even know where to start. 

So what I did was I went back. I went back to a time before I was beaten down, when I remember being happy, inspired, and excited about everything in life. 

I thought to myself, I need to feel this way again.

I have to, and everyone needs to feel this way.

Don’t try to sell me the line, oh Tina grow up, not everything is fun and...

In order to start to dream big and to be able to bring these dreams into our reality, we need to get aligned with them.

We know our core values, so we know where we want to focus our energy. But how do we protect our energy and get into a higher vibration in our lives?

Now if you haven’t yet written out your core values, go back and listen to episode 012 of the Soul Aligned Self Care Podcast

However, you don’t need to do this to benefit from reading this blog post today. So continue on and listen to 012 later.

We do this by putting ourselves in the right environment surrounding ourselves with positive influences and also, consuming the right media for us personally.

Everybody is individual, they have their loves and dislikes. This can be very personal. But I can help guide you and show you what works for me personally and you can adjust it to fit into your life.

To me, this is very powerful deep-level self-care and love. It’s...

In order to get where you want to go, to reach those big goals & dreams, you need to know where you are starting. You need to acknowledge yourself, and all the successes and struggles you’ve experienced.

Just like when you're driving somewhere using a GPS, you need a starting point and then a destination in order to get to where you’re going successfully.

Your life is the same way so today we are going to talk about how we can acknowledge, celebrate, and then activate ourselves to move forward in order to get out of that stuck position.

We are going to take a fun and quick assessment to see where you might be out of balance in your life and then we will focus on how to find out what our core values are. Only after this can we start to dream big and then start to move toward those dreams.

Are you ready to get started?

Let’s go!

Starting with the...

I decided to tackle this topic mostly because not only have I been experiencing this more lately, but also just about everyone I know. 

Over the past few years, a lot of us have changed. Some of us have really been focused on how to really be an authentic version of ourselves and to honor that 100 % of the time.

I've seen this with myself, my clients, and my friends.

I believe the climate of the world around us really has awakened us, made us hop off the hamster wheel of life, and paused for a moment. I mean, we were kinda forced to. Which I believe was a good thing!

The question that has come up is, what the heck am I doing? Why am I doing it? How does this serve me? This is nuts!

A Lot of us have discovered that we are doing things that are not true to us at our deepest level, not aligned with our values at all. 

A lot of us spend almost all of our time, our most valuable asset, doing things that don’t light us up inside or...
