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 running. Do you know how many times I’...

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 games, you can’t have everything. 

Says who?? Who made that...

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 represent our core values at all!

 ...

Now I know when I say decluttering your first thought might be cleaning out all the closets, getting rid of old clothes, and cleaning out that all so famous junk drawer. And yes, this is decluttering and it is one of my favorite kinds. 

Today we are not just going to be talking about decluttering space but also decluttering your mind and your processes. 

When we declutter our mind, space, & processes we reduce stress and can actually create more time for ourselves.

Let’s start by diving into decluttering the mind.

We all have a to-do list whether it’s a mental one or a physical one. We also all have those things we need to do that we keep putting off because they are just downright unpleasant.  For instance, calling the bank about that unwanted charge, or making that mammogram appointment. 

We don’t want to do it, so we keep moving it to the bottom of the list. 

The stress-inducing part of this is, that it’s still there, in our heads, nagging us. 

I call thi...

Do You ever take the time to do something nice for yourself? Do you make time for fun? Well, today we are talking about some of the ways we can really start to not only take care of ourselves at a high level but also treat ourselves and have some fun with it.

You see a lot of us spend most of our time taking care of everyone else for most of our adult lives. Our significant other, kids, friends, our parents, just about everyone we love, and then some.

Some of us even take pride in being this selfless.

But the sad truth is, that if you're not caring for yourself at least at this same level then you will burn out, get overwhelmed, and it will even show up in your body as dis-ease if you do this for an extended amount of time.

Another negative side effect of being selfless is that after focusing on everyone else's well-being for so long and not your own, you lose yourself, you forget what you want and like in life. You feel a bit lost and sometimes stuck.

So today I’m asking you to c...

Something I come across quite often when working with people and with myself is how can we all just stop being so hard on ourselves. How can we stop judging ourselves?

Well, the first step is to just be aware.

While this may sound simple, it’s not an easy thing to do.

However, once you start to really notice it will become a habit.

A lot of us just let these negative judgments and thoughts fly through our subconscious without a care. But I want you to stop and think about if someone was saying what you say to yourself to one of your children, a good friend, or a significant other, would it be okay?

I think we all know the answer to that question, heck no!

So the new normal you need to create is that it's not okay to talk to yourself this way either.

Why should you care, why is this important?

Well many really good reasons. 

Our words have power. The things we say and feel are what create our reality.

So if you want to create a too good to be true reality ...

Hello Friends!

The third thing I want to leave behind as I move into the next year of my life is crappy food.

I kinda do this already, but now I'm going to take it to the next level.

I already eat a plant-based whole food diet most of the time but what I noticed is when I decide to eat something sweet or some kind of junk food it can be really crappy.

Like crappy chocolate, cookies, or chips. 

Instead, If I'm going to eat something like this I'll make sure it's the best.

The best dark chocolate, homemade cookies instead of store-bought, ect.

When you make things yourself, you know exactly what you're putting in your body.

The reason I'm doing this is I want to be in the best health, feel good, and always have my body in a place where it can heal if it needs to.

So I've decided that when I'm going to eat something, let it not just be fun and delicious, let it be a bit better, healthier, than some of the crap I put in my body.

You are either fueling your health or creating dise...
