Get Real with Drama


Get Real with Drama


 I'm always looking for what my clients MOST NEED to be free. Everyone is stressed out, or dealing with some level of anxiety, and I'm feeling confident about saying "everyone" because all of us are steeped in an abundant flow of way too much going on, most of the time in our world. It's how we see it, and it's how we respond to it that matters.  

 My go-to answer for "how to break free" is to address the emotional component of the situation. How we choose to feel, how we choose to respond, how we choose to talk to ourselves and others about it - these are the REAL REASONS we will either set ourselves free or stay stuck in the drama.  

 KEY QUESTION to ask yourself, "Am I informed or am I activated?"
Notice that being informed has you in a neutral state. Accepting the facts.
Being activated has you triggered into an emotional state. Being irrational and implusive. 
It's a great question to use when you want to stay centered.  

 It's tax time, what a perfect situation to get real with drama. 
Money is a topic that brings us into our deeper issues. Thank you, money! 
If you're like me, money is "my greatest teacher" when it comes to personal growth. 
So let's use the timing of tax-day and work it to learn how to get real with our inner dramas. 

 No matter if you are buried with self-judgement over the money you owe, or your stress over paying what you owe, or the overwhelm of what you SHOULD have done differently to break even every year like a smart person SHOULD do,  or if you are blissfully treating others to the prosperity of your refund. . . your inner drama is showing up.

 If it's not tax-time drama, it will be another drama of another name. 
Just fill in your title for the "drama of the day" and you will reap the same rewards of working these steps at an emotional level. 

 4 Steps to Get Real with Your Drama
Step 1: Use the situation as an opportunity to understand yourself better: Ask deep questions and be willing to answer them even if your shitty feelings come up.  
How do you feel about your money? How do you value it? How do you take care of your money?  What is your relationship with debt, with abundance, with scarcity, with investing? What do those answers say about yourself in the big picture? 

Step 2: Give some love to your feelings and give yourself a healthy way to express them. All drama is truly a personal issue. Embrace this truth as a call for love. Your dramas are there to bring your deep stuff UP.  Choose a healthy outlet for these emotions. Go for a run, talk with friends, or write in your journal about gratitude or forgiveness.  

Step 3: Commit to doing something differently. Adding a NEW BEHAVIOR is the key to moving forward.  Make a list of solutions and then choose one to begin implementing. 

Step 4: Release! Surrender! You have to LET IT GO. If your drama is about money, you must tell yourself, "It’s just money—don’t get too caught up in it." Or if your drama is a broken relationship, you must tell yourself, "It's just a chance to extend love or to give space - don't get too caught up in the story, let it go and make room for love instead."


How would you describe your drama situation? What would you like to transform about it? If you’ve changed something for the better, what did you do? I would love to hear from you.

Dark Days to Major Blessings: Make the Most of the Holidays.

Image
The holiday season has officially begun with Happy Hanukkah yesterday, and even though we are technically still in the last several days of autumn, it feels like we've already entered into Winter with the days getting shorter and darker.  Winter Solstice is December 20th, then Christmas then New Year's! Do you add any personal or family holidays to that list?  ​​​​Now we have a new opportunity to embrace the darkness.   While the holiday buzz fills our lives, we are still settling into the darkness even if we try to deny it or frantically move through it. We are flowing with nature regardless. . . so why not invoke this organic part of our nature?  The winter-holiday-darkness-time is truly a season of major blessings - available only if you let yourself lean into it with an open heart. (Rather than getting caught up in the year-end rush of "everything", or even getting caught up in negative judgements of too-cold, or too-dark, or commercialism, or family

Summer Your Dreams!

Image
What is your favorite way to make the most of summertime?  Each season brings unique opportunities for our personal growth.  Winter might bring you deeper inside yourself, as you take time to slow down, stay warm, and reflect in the shorter days. Spring and Summer might bring your soul toward outward expression, seeing more of who you are in action or in response to light and energy and warmth. Summer has a feeling of "time off".  Winter has a feeling of "hunkering down".   How you embrace or resist parts of each season is a reflection of how you embrace or resist other key areas of your life. There is much to learn about yourself through raising awareness in the different seasonal energies.  How will you fully express your SUMMER?  Everything is fresh in summertime. Food is fresh, living is easier or cleaner or simpler. Sunshine is abundant and activates the playful side. Summertime can be an intermission for the whole year - a time for a break or refreshm

What's Great about Coaching Sessions?

Image
I am asked a lot, “What happens in a coaching session? Why would someone work with a life coach? Should I sign up for a coaching session? What kind of people need a coach? Sometimes people assume a person would be “broken” or “messed up” somehow, leading them to work with a coach.    It’s actually the opposite of those negative concerns. Coaching takes you to your next level.   Maybe you want a career change. Maybe you want a new perspective. Maybe you want better communication in any relationship. Maybe you want to hit the “reset button” in a situation. Maybe you just need a boost in some area of your life/work. These are great reasons for a coaching session.  I have studied and learned through multiple trainings how to move you forward and take you into a greater version of yourself.   A coaching session is designed for  you to understand and apply whatever is needed to fulfill your desires.  Why do coaches offer a single session at no charge?    Over the years,
