It’s been a while since I’ve posted.

Life has a way of sweeping us off our feet, doesn’t it?

Yet, amidst the chaos and tumult, there’s a flicker of resilience, a glimmer of hope that persists. I started this site with a simple mission: to guide others in reshaping their mindset around manifestation, to help them weave manifestation into the very fabric of their daily lives. Little did I know, life had its own plans for me, plans that would put my beliefs and resilience to the ultimate test.

Here I share my journey of loss, grief, and the unwavering spirit that emerged from the depths of despair.

The year 2023 was the most challenging year I’ve ever faced (and believe me, I’ve had some challenges!)

My cat unexpectedly died. And it was traumatic. Something was wrong in that he wasn’t eating like he should. Took him to the vet, they run tests and find nothing. Then that weekend he goes into a seizure that he doesn’t seem able to get out of. We drive 2 hours to the only emergency vet open at 2AM (and I live so far away from emergency vets, it’s the closest anyway).

A few days later, after numerous tests and absolutely no answers, he is still unable to safely come out without his anti-seizure meds. And the anti-seizure meds keep him mostly comatose. The doctor suspects cancer because of a lump they saw in the scan, but there’s no way to know. We had to make the very tough decision to let him go, and we were able to hold him as he left this world.

My life fell apart. I thought countless times of coming here and writing about the grief. But I just couldn’t.

Even now talking about it, I’m breaking apart.

Two months later, we lost some of our “feral cat community cats” to predators. Back to back. One of them had been with us for 20 years, and had just come around to letting us pet her. We handle a community, a sanctuary, and provide the best care we can to cats who show up, get dumped, but don’t trust humans. Predators have never happened before. It was devastating.

And then…my aunt died. She was only seven year’s older than me, and we were more like sisters. She was the maid of honor at my wedding so long ago. And her mother, my maternal grandmother, had now lost her husband, her sister and her four children. My aunt was the youngest child but lived the longest, past her fifties.

It was a tragic blow in my life. And as I’m recuperating, I lose my job.

The company was struggling to make ends meet. Blah blah blah they hated to let me go. But they did, leaving me with vet bills, no insurance, and other things.

Other things happened, but none of that matters anymore. I just wanted to post this as a short intro to everything that has kept me away.

And the only thing that helped me survive it all was the belief in my own Higher Power. Higher Source. Not giving up on life. My cat still visits me at night. I feel him making biscuits on the covers he used to sleep on. I’ve done all the work, the healing work I’ve learned and that I continue to do on myself.

And now, more than ever, I want to help others as well.

Did I “manifest” this? I don’t believe so (although I probably did manifest the job loss and mounting debt). Because I don’t believe that you manifest everything that’s going on in your life. (If that were true, I would be a millionaire!) But I do believe that manifestation is a powerful tool to help you grow into the best version of yourself.

I could fall down and refuse to live in joy each day. Feel sorry for myself. Pity my life. Focus on all that’s going on, all the lack and what ifs. I could make bad things continue to happen (yes, I do believe in manifestation in that way).

Or I could wake up rejoicing in this day. Making the strong changes I can make in my life, and affirming empowering messages of love, joy, peace, and gratitude.

I have two beautiful and amazing donkeys now that help keep watch over our property. I have a beautiful relationship with my grandmother that I never had before. I have a new nephew that I get to love and celebrate!

It’s the bud of emerging opportunities amidst the pain. I’ve learned to not suppress my emotions. I’ve learned that it’s okay to cry without fear the emotions will overtake me. I also learned to rejoice in every moment I have, every scent of flowers, every breeze through the trees and the dew on the grass. And to take things day by day. To do all the things I can do to keep my mindset strong.

And to trust that it’s all going to work out. To surrender and trust.

I also realized, more than ever, that I want to help others through coaching them and teaching them, inspiring and helping them through whatever they may be going through.

I jotted down a lot of things about grief and manifestation when I was going through it, and maybe one day I’ll write about those. I also discovered many books along the way that helped me.

Sometimes for me, it is “maybe one day I will…”

But if you’re tired of saying “Maybe one day…” please reach out to me to learn about my coaching practices.

(I’m currently working on setting up a schedule for you to easily schedule).

In the wake of grief’s storm, I stand before you today, battered but not broken, scarred but not defeated. Through the darkest nights of loss, I discovered the unyielding strength of the human spirit, the power of resilience, and the unwavering light of hope that guides us through the darkest of times. As I navigate the terrain of my own healing journey, I’m reminded of the words of poet Rumi, ‘The wound is the place where the Light enters you.’ May we all find solace in the knowledge that even in our deepest wounds, there lies the potential for transformation and growth.

So, as I bid you farewell for now, dear reader, know that you are not alone on your journey. Reach out, seek support, and embrace the journey of healing and self-discovery with courage and compassion. And remember, in the tapestry of life, every thread—whether of joy or sorrow—contributes to the richness of our human experience. Thank you for joining me on this journey.

Until we meet again, may you walk in the light of your own resilience and the boundless possibilities of your future.

What’s the deal with productivity, anyway?

Ever felt time slipping away, tasks piling up? You want to do things, need to do them, but time isn’t on your side. And when free time does appear, it’s like hitting a brick wall or an aversion to action.

Why does this happen? Lack of desire, or perhaps years of hard work have left you wanting to just kick back?

In this post, we’ll dive into the productivity puzzle, exploring why time eludes us and tasks stay unfinished. We’ll decode the paradox of free time, the mind games of procrastination, the art of prioritization, and the magic of intrinsic motivation.

So, grab your favorite brew, get comfy, and let’s unlock the secrets to conquering time-wasting and procrastination. Seize control of your productivity and make every moment count.

Unraveling the Mystery of Unwanted Free Time

productivity and free time

Free time can be a perplexing gift. You’ve toiled for years, sacrificing precious moments, and now you find yourself with this newfound treasure. Yet, curiously, it feels like a double-edged sword. You have free time, but you can’t bring yourself to use it effectively.

The paradox of free time is a psychological conundrum. It’s the result of prolonged periods of hard work, where every moment was dedicated to a task or responsibility. When free time finally beckons, it’s not met with enthusiasm but rather resistance. Why?

Burnout is often the culprit. The relentless grind of work can leave you yearning for rest rather than additional labor. You long for moments of relaxation and recuperation, and when free time knocks, you resist putting it to productive use.

This paradox can feel like a never-ending cycle. You’re caught between wanting to be productive and needing to rest, and the two desires clash. The urge to recuperate often trumps the need for productivity, creating a mental tug-of-war.

Unraveling this paradox is crucial. It’s about finding a balance between making the most of your free time and recognizing the importance of rest. It’s not about condemning yourself for not being productive all the time, but rather understanding that productive use of free time can take many forms, including rest and relaxation. Ultimately, it’s about making the most of your time, whether that means working on tasks, engaging in hobbies, or simply recharging.

Cracking the Procrastination Code: The Inner Battle

Procrastination is a formidable foe that can haunt even the most determined individuals. It’s not just about avoiding work; it’s a psychological labyrinth, a puzzle of human behavior.

At its core, procrastination often conceals complex emotions and thoughts. It’s not just laziness but a powerful cocktail of emotions such as fear of failure, the relentless pursuit of perfection, and the simple discomfort of getting started.

Fear of Failure: This is a prominent component of procrastination. The fear that you won’t succeed, that your efforts will fall short of expectations, can be paralyzing. It’s easier to delay the task than to confront the possibility of failure.

Perfectionism: Perfectionism is another culprit. The desire for flawlessness, the insistence that everything must be just right, can lead to procrastination. The task seems so daunting that you can’t even begin.

Discomfort: Sometimes, procrastination is merely a response to discomfort. You know the task won’t be pleasant, or it might require tackling something you’d rather avoid. So, you put it off, hoping the discomfort will dissipate.

Understanding these psychological hurdles is the first step to overcoming procrastination. It’s not a simple matter of lacking the desire to do something, but the mental barriers and emotional hurdles that make the task appear insurmountable.

The key to beating procrastination is recognizing these emotions and thoughts for what they are – temporary obstacles. Once you identify them, you can work on strategies to address and overcome them.

Mastering Your To-Do List: The Eisenhower Matrix Demystified

Time isn’t the only thing in short supply. It’s also about choosing what matters most. This is where prioritization comes in.

Setting clear goals and priorities can be your compass through the chaos. Enter the Eisenhower Matrix, a simple but powerful tool. It helps you sort tasks into four categories: urgent, important, neither, or both. This can cut through the clutter and guide your focus.

By understanding what truly matters, you can stop feeling like you’re wasting time and start using it wisely.

The urgent and important tasks are your immediate attention-grabbers. They demand your focus because they’re both critical and time-sensitive.

Then come the important but not urgent tasks – these deserve a place on your to-do list, but they can wait for the right moment. The neither urgent nor important tasks should be minimized, as they are often distractions.

By prioritizing tasks, you can escape the overwhelm and regain a sense of control. You no longer feel like you’re wasting time on trivial matters. Instead, you’re making conscious choices about how to invest your time.

Prioritization is about more than just listing tasks in order. It’s a strategic approach to managing your time and resources effectively. When you know what truly matters, you can allocate your energy and effort where it will have the most impact.

It’s about making sure that the most significant items receive your full attention, so you can stop feeling like you’re spinning your wheels and start making meaningful progress. Put prioritization at the forefront of your productivity strategy and regain control over your valuable time.

The Drive Within: Unearthing Your Intrinsic Motivation

Ever wondered why some people seem naturally driven and passionate about what they do? The answer often lies in intrinsic motivation.

Intrinsic motivation is the magical force that propels you to act because of the sheer joy and personal fulfillment you derive from the task. It’s the kind of motivation that makes you feel excited and engaged, turning work into something you genuinely enjoy.

The secret to harnessing intrinsic motivation is to discover what you’re truly passionate about. When you’re deeply interested in something, motivation flows effortlessly. You don’t need external rewards or pressures to drive you; your enthusiasm is the driving force.

Think about the activities or projects that light a fire in you, that you lose track of time doing, or that you’d willingly do even without a paycheck. These are your intrinsic motivators. Identifying them is key to boosting your productivity.

Intrinsic motivation helps you break through the barriers of procrastination and resistance. When you’re genuinely excited about a task, it’s not a chore; it’s an opportunity. It transforms the way you approach work, making it more enjoyable and less like a burden.

So, the next time you’re feeling stuck, take a moment to reflect on what truly motivates you from within. Recognize your passions and interests, and make them a central part of your work and life. When you do, you’ll find that productivity isn’t a struggle; it’s a natural outcome of your enthusiasm and drive. Unlock your intrinsic motivation and let it propel you toward greater productivity and personal fulfillment.

Rest, Recharge, and Rediscover: The Essence of Self-Care

meditation for motivation and productivity

Burnout isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a productivity-killer that can drain the life out of even the most dedicated individuals. It’s that feeling of exhaustion, disinterest, and disengagement that can make productivity seem like an unattainable goal.

To combat burnout, self-care becomes your shield. It’s not a luxury but a necessity for maintaining your physical and mental well-being. Self-care encompasses a range of activities and practices that help you recharge, regain focus, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Taking breaks is fundamental to self-care. Short breaks throughout the day and longer ones when needed allow you to reset and refresh. These moments of respite give you the energy and mental clarity to tackle your tasks with renewed vigor.

Getting enough sleep is another vital aspect of self-care. Quality sleep is essential for cognitive function, emotional well-being, and overall health. A well-rested mind is more resilient, better equipped to handle challenges, and less prone to burnout.

Maintaining a work-life balance is a key component of self-care. It’s about setting boundaries between your professional and personal life, ensuring that work doesn’t spill over into your personal time. Without these boundaries, you risk becoming overwhelmed and perpetually stressed.

Recognizing the signs of burnout and taking action is crucial. When you notice persistent exhaustion, decreased motivation, and a sense of detachment, it’s a red flag. Don’t ignore it; take the time to address it. Remember, productivity isn’t about working yourself to the bone; it’s about working efficiently while preserving your well-being.

Incorporating self-care into your routine isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of wisdom. It’s recognizing that taking care of yourself is the foundation of sustainable productivity. By prioritizing self-care, you can stave off burnout, maintain your enthusiasm, and keep your productivity engine running smoothly. Make self-care a non-negotiable part of your daily life and safeguard your long-term productivity.

Embracing Blissful Rest: The Art of True Self-Care

In the relentless pursuit of productivity, it’s easy to overlook a crucial component of a fulfilling life: true rest and self-care. Constantly pushing yourself to be productive can leave you tired, drained, and yearning for a reprieve. It’s a common phenomenon—feeling like you should be productive when you’re not can be exhausting in itself.

Real rest and self-care go beyond merely stopping work or ticking tasks off your to-do list. They involve being fully present in the moment, embracing the here and now. That might mean sitting outside, watching cats play, or observing the graceful dance of birds among the trees. It could be listening to the gentle rustle of leaves in the wind or immersing yourself in the pages of a good book.

The incessant feeling that you should be doing something other than what you’re doing can be downright exhausting. It robs you of the serenity that comes from living in the present. True rest and self-care mean giving yourself permission to embrace the moment without guilt, without the nagging sense that you should be accomplishing more.

This isn’t a call to abandon productivity; it’s a reminder that true rest is an essential part of the productivity puzzle. It’s about recharging your physical and mental batteries, so when you return to tasks, you do so with renewed energy and vigor. It’s time to understand that genuine self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity for long-term productivity and overall well-being. By allowing yourself the gift of true rest and self-care, you can strike a harmonious balance between productivity and serenity.

External Motivation: Your Secret to Unstoppable Productivity

When your internal motivation falters, or you’re battling procrastination, external motivation can be your saving grace. It’s the nudge you need when your inner drive takes a backseat.

Setting deadlines is a classic example of external motivation. Knowing you have a fixed timeframe to complete a task can provide the urgency required to kickstart your productivity. Without that external pressure, you might drag your feet indefinitely.

Accountability is another powerful external motivator. Enlisting a friend, mentor, or colleague to hold you accountable can be a game-changer. The knowledge that someone is watching and expecting progress can be a powerful motivator to get things done.

In the digital age, there’s a wealth of productivity apps and tools at your disposal. These external aids can help structure your work, provide reminders, and track your progress. They serve as virtual productivity partners, guiding you and keeping you on track.

External motivation is like a gust of wind in your sails when your internal motivation seems to wane. It’s not a sign of weakness but a strategic choice to keep moving forward. By embracing external motivators, you can break through those brick walls and maintain your momentum even when you’re not feeling particularly inspired. It’s time to recognize the value of external motivation and use it as a force multiplier to enhance your productivity.

Conclusion: Unleash Your Productivity Potential

Fear. That familiar sensation that often creeps into your life, sometimes silently, sometimes like a thunderclap.

Shivers run down your spine. Unsettling knots tighten the pit of your stomach. Your mind tightens like a vice grip around a nagging worry, and your thoughts race with scenarios of potential danger or failure.

Fear can be as subtle as a whispered doubt or as palpable as the weight of the world pressing down on your chest. Fear is a universal emotion, and its sensation is a reminder of our vulnerability and the instinct to protect ourselves from the unknown.

It’s also the invisible force that can hold you back from reaching your full potential, from seizing opportunities, and from living your best life.

In fact, fear is so sneaky that it often disguises itself in various forms, making it tricky to recognize.

But fear isn’t your enemy. It’s a natural human emotion that serves as a warning signal. Like a blinking caution sign on a winding road, fear tells you to pay attention. It says, “Hey, something important is happening here, and you need to be aware of it.”

In this blog post, we’re going to explore the ten signs of fear, from the subtle to the glaringly obvious, how they manifest in your daily life, and what you can do about them.

Some of these signs might surprise you, while others might hit close to home. Understanding these signs is the first step toward conquering fear and harnessing its energy for your personal growth.

So, let’s dive in, peel back the layers, and uncover the secrets that fear has been keeping from you.

1. Procrastination

Procrastination, that familiar dance of delaying tasks and postponing responsibilities, often has fear as its secret partner. It’s like a well-practiced tango between your intentions and your hesitations.

But why does it happen?

Often, the fear of failure causes procrastination. When you’re afraid that your efforts might not measure up to the expectations you or others have set, it becomes tempting to put things off. You might think, “If I don’t try, I can’t fail.” This fear keeps you safely in your comfort zone, away from the possibility of disappointment.

But procrastination can also stem from the fear of success. Success can bring change, new responsibilities, and expectations. If you’re not prepared for these changes or doubt your ability to handle success, you might unconsciously delay taking action. Procrastination becomes a way to stay in the familiar, even if it’s unfulfilling.

In both cases, fear becomes the architect of procrastination. It convinces you that avoiding the task at hand is the best course of action, protecting you from potential emotional turmoil. But deep down, you know that procrastination only prolongs the inevitable and adds to your stress.

It could be that you’re procrastinating on a task you just don’t want to do, and the procrastination part of it is like a cunning adversary. It’s that tempting siren’s call, luring you away from your responsibilities with the allure of immediate gratification. It’s the art of finding any excuse, from tidying up your workspace to scrolling through social media, just to delay the inevitable.

Now that we’ve identified that procrastination often stems from the fear of failure or success, it’s time to tackle this challenge head-on. Here’s how you can recognize these fears and implement practical strategies to overcome procrastination:

Self-Reflection

Take some time for self-reflection. Ask yourself why you’re putting off certain tasks. Is it because you’re afraid of not meeting expectations or because you’re uncertain about handling success? Honest self-assessment is the first step in recognizing the underlying fears.

If it’s simply something you don’t want to do, can you procrastinate a bit longer? What’s the risks? If it’s a big project at work and you wait until the last minute, how will that make you and your managers feel? Would it be best to just hunker down and get it done?

Or is it a task you can outsource or delegate to someone else?

Journal

This is different than just any regular journaling, in that you work on pinpointing triggers and fears relating to procrastination. Write down your thoughts and emotions when you procrastinate. Are there recurring themes of fear, self-doubt, or anxiety?

Break Tasks Down

Large tasks can be overwhelming, which often triggers procrastination. Break them down into smaller, more manageable steps. Completing these smaller tasks can build momentum and reduce fear.

Reward Yourself

 Celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how small. Rewarding yourself for completing tasks can create positive associations and reduce fear-related avoidance.

By recognizing these fears and implementing practical strategies, you can overcome procrastination and regain control over your time and productivity. Remember, it’s a journey, and progress may come in small steps, but each step takes you closer to a more productive and fulfilling life.

Now, let’s turn our attention to the next fear we’ll explore in our journey—a fear that, like procrastination, can have a significant impact on our lives and well-being.

2. Resistance:

Resistance is like a fortress we build around ourselves when we’re faced with change or discomfort. It’s a defense mechanism, a way of saying, “I’m not ready for this,” or “I don’t want to deal with this.”

Believe me, I know all too well the power of resistance in my life. I’ve often found myself locked in a fierce battle with resistance, particularly when it comes to embracing creativity. As a writer, there are days when sitting down to write feels like an insurmountable task. The blinking cursor on a blank page becomes an intimidating adversary, and the allure of distractions grows stronger by the minute.

I also grapple with resistance when it comes to working on my business endeavors. It’s a complex web of fears entangled in one another—fear of failure, fear of success, and the relentless fear of the unknown. These fears often conspire to keep me in my comfort zone, avoiding the risks and challenges that could lead to growth and success.

And then there are those days when even something as beneficial as exercise becomes a target of resistance. The inner voice whispers excuses, suggesting that I’m too tired, too busy, or that I can start tomorrow. It’s a battle between the desire for immediate comfort and the long-term benefits of a healthier lifestyle.

But despite these ongoing battles with resistance, I’ve learned that acknowledging its presence is the first step toward overcoming it. By recognizing these moments of resistance and understanding the fears that fuel them, I’ve been able to develop strategies to push through and achieve my goals. These personal experiences have taught me the importance of perseverance and the transformative power of facing resistance head-on.

Resistance often takes the form of fear because it’s our natural response to protect ourselves from the discomfort, uncertainty, or potential risks associated with taking action. When we resist something, whether it’s a creative endeavor, a new business venture, or a personal challenge like exercising, it’s often rooted in underlying fears. These fears may include the fear of failure, fear of judgment, fear of the unknown, or even the fear of success. Resistance, in essence, becomes a coping mechanism to shield ourselves from these fears, and understanding this connection is pivotal in addressing and overcoming resistance in our lives.

Overcoming resistance requires a mindful and proactive approach. Here are some strategies to help you break through the barriers of resistance:

Mindfulness

Start by acknowledging your resistance. Self-awareness is the first step towards change. When you catch yourself resisting something, take a moment to examine the reasons behind it. Is it fear, discomfort, or uncertainty? Identifying the source of resistance can help you address it more effectively.

Acceptance

Accept that resistance is a natural response to change and discomfort. It’s okay to feel resistant; it’s a part of being human. Embrace your feelings without judgment, and remind yourself that discomfort is often a sign of growth.

Visualize Success

Create a vivid mental image of the positive outcomes that can come from embracing change and overcoming resistance. Visualization can help shift your focus from fear to motivation.

Practice Flexibility

Embrace a mindset of flexibility and adaptability. Understand that change is a constant part of life, and the more flexible you are, the better equipped you’ll be to handle it.

3. Burnout:

Burnout, that feeling of being mentally and emotionally drained, can often be traced back to stress fueled by fear.

I’ve intimately experienced the profound impact of burnout in many ways. The relentless grind of stress and fear takes its toll and then easily becomes a cycle. .

In my writing journey, I pushed myself to hustle and work tirelessly, often with little to no respite, after a long day’s work at the job that paid my bills.

There were days when I’d sit at my desk, staring at the blinking cursor, and feel the weight of burnout crushing my creativity.

And it crushed my creativity in everything else I did as well.

The fear of not measuring up to my own expectations, the fear of not meeting deadlines, and the fear of not being ‘productive’ enough were constant companions during those exhausting times.

In my professional career, burnout manifested itself as an unwelcome companion, no matter how many vacation days I took.

Despite attempting to escape the clutches of work-related stress, I’d return from vacations only to find myself still burnt out.

It was a relentless cycle of fear-driven stressors—fear of not meeting targets, fear of disappointing colleagues, and the ever-present fear of job security.

These experiences with burnout have been eye-opening, revealing the insidious ways in which fear can infiltrate our lives and wreak havoc on our well-being.

It’s a stark reminder of the importance of self-care, boundaries, and stress management in our journey to combat burnout and cultivate a healthier, fear-free approach to work and creativity.

The ‘hustle-go-go-go’ mentality, so prevalent in today’s fast-paced world, often paves the path to burnout. However, at its core, burnout can be traced back to profound and sometimes hidden fears that drive our actions and decisions.

One of the fundamental roots of burnout is the fear of not being ‘good enough.’ This fear can lead us down a relentless path of overachievement and perfectionism, where we constantly strive to meet unattainable standards, often at the expense of our mental and emotional well-being. The fear of falling short, of not living up to our own or society’s expectations, can fuel the unending hustle that eventually drains us.

Another fear that contributes to burnout is the fear of missing out, commonly referred to as FOMO. In our hyper-connected world, we’re bombarded with images and stories of others’ seemingly exciting and successful lives. This fear of missing out on experiences, opportunities, or achievements can drive us to overcommit and overextend ourselves, ultimately leading to burnout.

Also, the fear of failure is a significant factor in burnout. The fear that our efforts will not yield the desired results can push us to work incessantly, often sacrificing our well-being in the process. It’s the fear that if we stop or slow down, we’ll somehow fall behind or lose ground in the race of life.

So what can we do to prevent this or overcome it once we’ve reached that breaking point?

Self-Care Routine

I cannot say this enough. Self-care is not selfish. It is essential to your wellbeing.

Put your oxygen mask on first. Even if that means a quick shower in the morning or a long bath in the evening. Reading a book you love for an hour a day. Taking a walk all by yourself or in the company of someone you love to spend time with. Spending times on hobbies that make you feel good.

Exercise is important, but it can easily become one of those tasks on your to-do lists that leads to burnout if you aren’t taking enough time to relax and recharge. Find the right balance between staying active and allowing yourself to rest or do tasks that excite you. Nourish both body and soul to reduce the risk of burnout and promoting lasting vitality

Set Boundaries

Establish clear boundaries in both your personal and professional life. Learn to say no when necessary, and communicate your limits to others. Boundaries protect your time and energy.

Work-Life Balance

Maintain a healthy work-life balance. Dedicate time to activities and relationships that bring you joy and fulfillment outside of your work or other stressors.

Professional Help

I stress the importance of this, because I didn’t do it in time and lost a lot of vitality at one point in my life. If you’re experiencing chronic burnout symptoms, consider seeking the guidance of a therapist or life coach. They can provide tailored strategies and support to address burnout and its underlying causes.

Recognizing the connection between fear-related stress and burnout is a crucial step in preventing burnout and maintaining your overall well-being. By prioritizing self-care practices and setting boundaries, you can build resilience and better navigate the challenges that fear may bring into your life.

4. Worry

Excessive worrying can often be traced back to our fear of the unknown. It’s like a mental treadmill that keeps us running in place, endlessly circling the uncertainties of the future.

Worry is essentially our brain’s way of trying to anticipate and prepare for potential threats or challenges. When we don’t have all the information or face uncertain outcomes, our minds can get stuck in a loop of what-ifs. This constant mental churn is driven by a fear of the unknown. We worry about what might happen because we fear the consequences.

The fear of the unknown often stems from our natural instinct for self-preservation. However, in today’s complex world, our minds can go into overdrive, worrying about everything from personal relationships to global events. Excessive worrying can lead to anxiety and stress, which can, in turn, affect our mental and physical health.

Sometimes when bad things do happen, completely beyond our control, the worry becomes a haunting specter.  The fear of experiencing such events again can linger, even though we had no influence over their occurrence.

This happened to me after the loss of my pet. I was plagued by the fear that it would happen again, often keeping me up at night and robbing me of the simple joys of everyday moments.

So what can you do about worry?

Mindfulness Meditation

Practice mindfulness meditation to develop awareness of your thoughts without judgment. When worries arise, acknowledge them without getting caught up in their narrative. Bring your focus back to your breath or a calming mantra.

You can also try to image yourself in a room. You drop all your worries to the ground and sweep them out the door.

Or, depending on your spiritual practice, imagine handing those worries over to your higher power. When the worry pops up, you can tell yourself “I’ve already handed that over.”

Deep Breathing Exercises

Deep, diaphragmatic breathing can calm your nervous system and reduce anxiety. Take slow, deep breaths, counting to four as you inhale, hold for a count of four, and exhale for a count of four. Repeat this several times to calm your mind.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation

This technique involves tensing and then relaxing different muscle groups in your body. It helps release physical tension associated with worry.

Set Aside “Worry Time”

Dedicate a specific time each day for worrying. When concerns arise outside of this designated time, remind yourself that you’ll address them during your scheduled “worry time.” This can help contain excessive worry.

Stay Present

Practice being fully present in the moment. Engage in activities that require your complete attention, such as a hobby, exercise, or spending quality time with loved ones.

5. Perfectionism:

Perfectionism, the relentless pursuit of flawlessness, often finds its roots in the fear of making mistakes. It’s like an unyielding taskmaster, driving us to strive for an unattainable standard.

It’s the nagging worry that any error, no matter how small, will lead to failure or judgment from ourselves or others. This fear can be paralyzing, pushing us to seek perfection in everything we do.

The underlying belief is that if we achieve perfection, we can avoid criticism, rejection, or disappointment. Perfectionists often set impossibly high standards for themselves, causing stress and anxiety. They might procrastinate out of fear of not meeting these standards or be overly critical of their own work.

Rather than chasing perfection, which is an unattainable and exhausting goal, it’s far healthier to embrace imperfection and strive for excellence.

Set Realistic Standards

Embracing imperfection means acknowledging that making mistakes is a part of being human. It allows you to set realistic and achievable standards that encourage growth and learning.

Shift Your Perspective

Instead of striving for flawlessness, recognize that mistakes are a natural part of growth and learning. Embrace them as opportunities for improvement.

Practice Self-Compassion

Be kind to yourself. Understand that it’s okay to make mistakes, and your self-worth is not defined by your performance. Practice self-compassion to reduce the fear of imperfection.

Try Something Super Creative and Messy

Sometimes, the best way to break free from perfectionism is to intentionally create something messy and unstructured. Take, for example, a watercolor project. Start by listing out your fears about the creative endeavor, such as ‘I won’t be good enough’ or ‘It will be messy.’ Then, embrace these fears as part of the creative process. Allow yourself to experiment, make mistakes, and revel in the beauty of imperfection. This can be a liberating experience that helps you break the shackles of perfectionism and fosters a more open, creative mindset.

6. Giving Up:

Giving up on our goals and aspirations can often be attributed to the paralyzing influence of fear.

It’s a familiar story for many. Yep, including myself. Dreams are abandoned in the face of doubt and apprehension.

Let’s explore some stories and examples of how fear can cause people to give up and, more importantly, inspire readers to persevere and confront their fears head-on.

Stories of Giving Up Due to Fear:

The Unfinished Novel: Sarah had always dreamt of writing a novel, but fear held her back. She worried that her writing wouldn’t be good enough, that people would criticize her work, or worse, that nobody would even read it. Year after year, she kept her novel locked away in a drawer, unfinished and unread.

The Abandoned Business Idea: James had a brilliant idea for a business, but he couldn’t shake the fear of failure. He kept researching, planning, and refining his concept, always waiting for the “perfect” moment to launch. That moment never came, and his idea remained on the shelf, unrealized.

The Unexplored Passion: Emily had a deep passion for painting but gave it up due to her fear of not being talented enough. She compared her work to renowned artists and felt insignificant. Her canvases remained blank, and her brushes collected dust.

Inspiring Perseverance in the Face of Fear:

It’s natural to feel fear when pursuing your dreams and goals. The stories above illustrate how fear can hold us back, preventing us from sharing our creativity, starting a business, or exploring a passion. However, it’s crucial to recognize that fear is not a sign to give up; it’s a sign that you’re on the cusp of something meaningful and transformative.

The Power of Perseverance

 History is filled with stories of individuals who faced fear head-on and achieved remarkable success. People like J.K. Rowling, who faced numerous rejections before the Harry Potter series became a global phenomenon, or Thomas Edison, who famously said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work” while inventing the lightbulb. These examples show that perseverance in the face of fear can lead to incredible achievements.

Reframe Fear as Fuel

Instead of seeing fear as a roadblock, view it as a source of energy and motivation. Fear can be a powerful driving force, pushing you to work harder, learn more, and overcome obstacles. It’s a sign that you’re pushing boundaries and striving for something significant.

Take Small Steps

When fear feels overwhelming, break your goals into smaller, more manageable steps. Each step you take is a victory, and these small victories build confidence and momentum.

Celebrate Progress

Celebrate your progress, no matter how small. Each step forward is a triumph. Recognize that setbacks and failures are part of the journey, and they offer valuable lessons.

Remember Your Why

Keep your deeper purpose and passion in mind. When you’re connected to why you want to pursue your goals, it can help you find the courage to persist, even in the face of fear.

7. Upper Limit Problem:

The “Upper Limit Problem” is a concept introduced by Gay Hendricks in his book “The Big Leap.” It explores the phenomenon of self-sabotage that can occur when individuals reach a certain level of success or happiness.

The “Upper Limit Problem” suggests that each of us has a subconscious ceiling on how much success, happiness, and love we believe we deserve. When we approach or surpass this self-imposed limit, we often engage in behaviors that undermine our progress. It’s as if we have an internal thermostat for our well-being, and when things get “too good,” we instinctively revert to a state of discomfort or unhappiness.

This self-sabotage can manifest in various ways, such as picking fights with loved ones when everything seems to be going well, becoming ill or accident-prone during moments of success, or procrastinating when on the brink of achieving a significant goal.

It can come in the form of eating an entire cake when you’ve been really good at your diet!

It is self-sabotage in all its glory!

Here are some ways to recognize and address this fear.

Self-Awareness

Pay close attention to your thoughts, feelings, and actions when you’re on the verge of success or happiness. Are you experiencing anxiety, guilt, or a sense of unworthiness? Identifying these patterns can help you recognize when the “Upper Limit Problem” is at play.

Challenge Limiting Beliefs

Examine the beliefs and narratives that may be holding you back. Ask yourself if they are based on past experiences, societal conditioning, or outdated assumptions. Challenge these beliefs and replace them with empowering ones that affirm your worthiness of success and happiness.

Practice Self-Compassion

Be kind and compassionate with yourself. Understand that self-sabotage is a common human experience, and it doesn’t make you any less deserving of success. Treat yourself with the same empathy and encouragement you’d offer a friend facing a similar challenge.

Embrace Growth

Recognize that personal growth often involves stepping outside your comfort zone and challenging self-imposed limits. Embrace the discomfort as a sign of growth and transformation. Every time you confront and overcome the “Upper Limit Problem,” you expand your capacity for success and happiness.

Celebrate Achievements

Celebrate your successes and achievements, no matter how small they may seem. This reinforces positive associations with success and helps reset your internal thermostat to a higher level of well-being.

8. Avoidance

Avoidance behavior, often rooted in underlying fears and anxieties, is a common manifestation of fear itself.

Whether it involves canceling appointments, sidestepping social gatherings, or procrastinating on important tasks, avoidance is often driven by the fear of discomfort, judgment, or failure. Constantly being late for appointments is also in this range.

It’s like a protective shield that individuals use to ward off the potential emotional distress they anticipate in certain situations.

Recognizing avoidance as a sign of fear is crucial because it opens the door to understanding and addressing the specific fears that drive these behaviors. By confronting and navigating these fears, individuals can gradually break free from the confines of avoidance and regain control over their lives.

Identify the Underlying Fear

The first step is to identify the specific fear or anxiety that is driving the avoidance behavior. Is it a fear of judgment, social anxiety, fear of failure, or another form of anxiety? Understanding the root cause is essential for targeted intervention.

Break Tasks into Smaller Steps

Large, daunting tasks can contribute to avoidance. Break tasks into smaller, more manageable steps. This makes them less intimidating and helps build a sense of accomplishment as each step is completed.

Challenge Negative Thoughts

Identify and challenge negative thoughts or beliefs that contribute to avoidance. Replace them with more positive and realistic self-talk.

Reward Yourself

Reward yourself for facing situations or completing tasks you’ve been avoiding. Positive reinforcement can motivate you to confront your fears.

9. Laziness:

Laziness, often characterized by a lack of motivation or initiative, can frequently be traced back to the influence of fear. It’s the feeling of being stuck in inertia, held back by apprehension.

When you’re afraid of not succeeding or making mistakes, it can be easier to avoid taking action altogether. Laziness becomes a way to shield yourself from potential setbacks or disappointments.

You might hesitate to pursue your goals or take action on tasks because you worry about how others will perceive you. This fear of judgment can hinder your motivation.

Surprisingly, fear of success can also contribute to laziness. Success often comes with increased responsibility and change. If you’re uncomfortable with these potential consequences, you might self-sabotage by avoiding the actions necessary for success.

Let’s dig into some strategies for finding motivation and setting goals.

Identify Your Fears

Start by identifying the specific fears that are hindering your motivation. Are you afraid of failure, judgment, or success? Understanding the root cause of your laziness is the first step in addressing it.

Set Clear Goals

Establish clear, achievable goals that excite and motivate you. When you have a compelling purpose, it’s easier to overcome laziness. Break these goals into smaller, actionable steps to make them more manageable.

Visualize Success

Create a vivid mental picture of what success looks and feels like. Visualization can boost motivation by making your goals seem more attainable and desirable.

Find Accountability

Share your goals with a friend, family member, or mentor who can hold you accountable. Knowing that someone else is aware of your objectives can boost your motivation to follow through.

Eliminate Distractions

Identify and eliminate distractions in your environment that contribute to laziness. Create a workspace that supports focus and productivity.

Seek Inspiration

Surround yourself with sources of inspiration. Read books, listen to podcasts, or engage with individuals who have overcome similar challenges and achieved their goals.

10. Anger:

Anger is an intense emotion that can often be traced back to fear, particularly when we feel threatened or challenged. It’s a natural response to situations where we perceive a potential threat to our well-being or values.

When we perceive a threat or challenge, our body’s fight-or-flight response is activated. This physiological reaction is rooted in our evolutionary history and is designed to help us respond to danger. Fear triggers this response, and for some individuals, it manifests as anger—the “fight” response.

Anger can also be a defense mechanism. When we feel vulnerable or exposed, fear of being hurt emotionally or physically can turn into anger as a way to protect ourselves from further harm.

My former boss got angry when he was challenged. As a prosecutor, I would think you’d be used to being challenged, but I often joked (to myself of course) that he must be afraid he doesn’t have the right answer.

And I know it sounds like I’m making light of it, but getting angry is a telltale sign of fear, and it manifested in him as red-faced anger and avoidance of the original subject.

My dad would often get irritable when he was worried about something, usually someone he loved

Anger may feel like a way to regain a sense of control, even if it’s a destructive response.

Effective anger management and conflict resolution skills are essential for maintaining healthy relationships and addressing the underlying fear that often fuels anger. Here are some strategies to consider.

Recognize Early Warning Signs

Pay attention to the early physical and emotional signs of anger, such as increased heart rate, muscle tension, or irritability. Recognizing these signs can help you intervene before anger escalates.

Pause and Breathe

When you feel anger rising, take a moment to pause and breathe deeply. Deep breathing can help calm your body’s fight-or-flight response and provide a moment of clarity before reacting.

Express Your Feelings

Instead of lashing out in anger, express your feelings calmly and assertively. Use “I” statements to communicate your emotions and needs without blaming or accusing others.

Practice Empathy

Try to understand the perspectives and feelings of others involved in the situation. Empathy can help you de-escalate conflicts and find common ground for resolution.

Conflict Resolution Skills

Develop effective conflict resolution skills, such as active listening, compromise, and negotiation. These skills can help you address underlying issues and find mutually acceptable solutions.

Seek Professional Help

If anger issues are persistent and disruptive to your life or relationships, consider seeking the guidance of a therapist or counselor who specializes in anger management. They can provide tailored strategies to address the root causes of anger.

Stress Reduction Techniques

Engage in stress reduction techniques like exercise, mindfulness, or relaxation exercises. Reducing overall stress levels can make it easier to manage anger.

Avoid Aggressive Responses

 Avoid aggressive behaviors, including yelling, physical aggression, or passive-aggressive actions. These responses often escalate conflicts and lead to further fear and anger.

Set Boundaries

Establish clear boundaries in your relationships and communicate them effectively. Healthy boundaries can prevent situations that trigger anger.

Forgiveness

Practice forgiveness as a way to release anger and move forward. Forgiving doesn’t mean condoning hurtful behavior but letting go of the emotional burden associated with anger.

In summary, anger is often a manifestation of fear, particularly when we feel threatened or challenged. Recognizing the underlying fear and implementing anger management techniques and conflict resolution skills can help you respond to anger in a healthier and more constructive way, ultimately fostering stronger relationships and personal growth.

Embracing Fear, Cultivating Courage

As we conclude this exploration into the intricate dance between fear and its myriad manifestations, imagine overcoming the profound influence that fear can wield over your life.

From procrastination to perfectionism, resistance to burnout, and beyond, fear may have shaped your decisions, actions, and well-being. But armed with awareness and the strategies shared throughout this journey, you hold the key to dismantling the barriers that fear erects.

Remember that fear, though potent, is not insurmountable. With each step forward, each small triumph over your fears, you embark on a path toward a more fearless and fulfilling existence.

Embrace the journey, and may the courage to confront your fears guide you toward a brighter and more empowered future.

The post Overcoming Fear: Harness Manifestation and Embrace Life’s Messiness appeared first on Manifestation is My Mindset.

I know it’s been a while since I have blogged, hence not overcoming fear. And that isn’t always a good thing with a new blog or business. My initial goal was, and still is, to share my manifestation tips and even struggles with you.

But in April, my life completely fell apart.

I questioned everything about what I thought I knew about, well, everything.

And the last thing I wanted to do was talk about it or share it with others. Sometimes, I can be really bad about that.

And just when I thought I was going to be okay, it fell apart again. And again, and again. As a matter of fact, I’m still reeling.

But I’ve been working on a book about manifestation, and as a matter of fact it is very close to being ready.

I also suffered loss. And loss after loss.

I handle/ own my own cat sanctuary, all on my own out of my own pocket to help our neighborhood cats that can’t find homes and have no other choice. We suffered some predator attacks. After thinking we had it all under control, it happened again. One of those deaths was the death of a 20-year-old cat who was feral until just a few years ago. She still went feral if you tried putting her inside, and she would not go to anyone but my husband or me. But, over the years, she learned to trust us. They have their safe spots, barns and buildings, but she loved being outside.

And I felt like I had failed her completely.

Along with an indoor cat who very suddenly and unexpectedly died after being rushed to an emergency hospital for uncontrollable seizures. And then, my aunt died. Young, only 7 years older than me and more like a sister.

I share some of this my book.

Let me tell you, in the deep dark stages of grief when you question everything and you start searching for answers, it may not be the best time to share yourself with others. Or at least it didn’t feel like it was to me.  

And sometimes, those answers don’t come. Sometimes there comes a time you stop searching and have to start living, day by day, moment by moment.

I had to ask myself those 3 most important questions. And sometimes, I still didn’t have answers to those questions. All I thought was: There are no guarantees in life. What if manifestation is a bunch of woo-woo? Or what if my fears and uncertainties cause a lot of bad but certainly no good? Good certainly wasn’t happening for me. How can I possibly help others? I can barely get my own life figured out.

Thank you, Hal Elrod, for putting some of those journaling prompts into perspective for me so I can at least get it down on paper and out of my body. Because boy was my body feeling it.

Let me be clear: I don’t believe manifestation is some simple secret formula where you just think, believe, and feel something strongly enough, and it magically appears in your life. It’s far from a linear path, and it’s a deeply personal journey for each individual.

However, within this intricate journey, there are fundamental principles, akin to the laws of the universe, that can guide us. Among the many facets, two major hurdles are often limiting beliefs and fears. Manifestation isn’t solely about wishing for something and watching it materialize. It’s about aligning your thoughts, energies, emotions, beliefs, and actions to become the best version of yourself and live your most fulfilling life.

That’s my goal with this blog, my coaching business, and my products. To help others with this alignment and this mindset.

But I definitely wasn’t living that path.

And I knew, little by little, life is short and it was time to do what I can to help others. Because we may not be promised tomorrow, but we are promised the moment we are in right now because we are in it.

And we shouldn’t let anything hold us back. Fears, lack of confidence, limiting beliefs, or even perceived lack of knowledge.

And I’ve done that for too long. I have written books, pieces of books. Workbooks and journals and even a quick course that I wanted to use to help others. And I kept being held back because of fear.

And when I say kept holding back I mean years and years and years of creating these things and holding myself back.

Fear of what? I didn’t even know. Judgment? Ridicule? Shame even? I’m not really sure, as I didn’t really feel these things. I am introverted and have a fear of being seen. Which I can’t really understand but that’s the way I am.

Also fear of putting it all out there and nothing happening, which has happened to me before. Hence the fear.

The Funny Thing About Fear

But that’s the funny thing about fear. It can be a powerful force that keeps us from realizing our full potential. It can stop us from sharing our gifts, our knowledge, and our experiences with the world. It can make us doubt ourselves and our abilities.

I’ve come to realize that fear is just a feeling, and feelings can be managed. It’s okay to have doubts and insecurities; they’re part of being human. The key is not to let them paralyze you.

In the depths of my grief, I found the strength to face my fears and insecurities head-on. I channeled my pain and loss into something positive—my upcoming book on manifestation. It’s a culmination of years of learning, growing, and yes, overcoming fear.

I’ve learned that it’s okay to be an introvert and still put myself out there. It’s okay to fear judgment or ridicule, but it’s not okay to let that fear control my actions. It’s okay to even have a comfort zone and even find security there, but it’s not okay to keep myself small. Even if I may still occasional do it.

overcoming fear, comfort zone

So, here I am, sharing my story with you today, even though it’s not all rainbows and sunshine. Life is messy, and sometimes, we need to embrace the mess to find the beauty within it.

I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to let fear hold you back any longer. You have the ability to change your mindset, overcome obstacles, and manifest your dreams. I hope you’ll join me on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Now that we’ve discussed the importance of embracing life’s messiness and overcoming fear, let’s explore some practical steps you can take to harness the power of manifestation and move towards your dreams.
Acknowledge and Accept Emotions:

Life can throw unexpected challenges and losses our way, and it’s essential to acknowledge the emotions that come with them. Whether it’s grief, fear, or doubt, allow yourself to feel these emotions without judgment. Feeling these emotions is the first step to healing and moving forward.

Challenge Fear as a Limiting Belief:

Fear can be a powerful force that holds us back from pursuing our goals and sharing our talents. It’s crucial to recognize that fear is just a feeling, and it can be managed. Challenge fear as a limiting belief by questioning its validity. What evidence do you have that your fear will come true? Often, you’ll find that fear is based on unfounded assumptions.

Take Small Steps Towards Your Goals:

Overcoming fear and embracing life’s messiness is a journey, not an overnight transformation. Take small, manageable steps toward your goals, even if these steps feel outside your comfort zone. By gradually expanding your boundaries, you can build confidence and resilience over time. Remember, it’s the small steps that often lead to significant breakthroughs on the path to manifesting your dreams.

Stay tuned for more posts on manifestation, self-care, and personal growth. Remember, life is short, and we owe it to ourselves to make the most of every moment.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me!

Take moments throughout your day to pause, breathe, and evaluate whether your actions align with your mission. Adjust course when needed and celebrate the small victories that signify progress on your authentic journey.

Step 4: Seek Support and Accountability

No one said you have to embark on this transformative journey alone. Seek out like-minded individuals who are also committed to living authentically. Surround yourself with a supportive network that understands and values your mission. Engage in conversations, share experiences, and hold each other accountable to stay true to your authentic path.

Step 5: Embrace Growth and Adaptability

Living in alignment with your mission is an ongoing process of growth and adaptation. Embrace the changes and challenges that come your way, knowing that they provide valuable opportunities for self-discovery and refinement. Be open to new insights, experiences, and perspectives that align with your evolving authentic self.

Embrace the Alignment: Ignite Your Authentic Mission and Infuse Purpose into Your Daily Life

Remember, living authentically is a continuous adventure, and each step you take brings you closer to living your best, most fulfilling life. Embrace the journey, my friend, and let the harmony between your mission and your daily life guide you towards a purposeful and authentic existence. The world awaits the unique impact only you can make.

Hey there, fellow seekers of truth and authenticity! Ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and unleash your authentic self?

Well, you’re in for a treat! In this fast-paced world, staying true to who we are can sometimes feel like an uphill battle.

But fear not, because I’ve got some powerful tips to help you embrace your true essence and live a life that’s uniquely yours. So, let’s dive right in and discover the magic of your authentic self!

Tip 1: Embrace Your Quirks and Flaws

Here’s a little secret: your quirks and flaws are what make you beautifully human! Instead of hiding them or trying to fit into society’s mold, celebrate your uniqueness. Whether it’s an offbeat sense of humor, a passion for collecting obscure things, or a quirky fashion sense, let your true colors shine. Embracing your quirks is the first step towards living authentically.

Tip 2: Listen to Your Inner Voice

Amidst the noise of external opinions and expectations, there’s a small but powerful voice within you. It’s your intuition, your inner guide, nudging you in the direction of your true desires. Take a moment to listen to that voice. Trust your instincts and honor the wisdom it holds. When you let your inner voice lead the way, you’ll find yourself making choices that align with your authentic self.

Tip 3: Define Your Core Values

What truly matters to you? What principles do you hold dear? Identifying your core values is like creating your own personal compass. These values reflect who you are at your core and guide your actions and decisions. Whether it’s honesty, compassion, or adventure, let your values be the guiding light that keeps you on the path of authenticity.

Tip 4: Cultivate Authentic Connections

Surrounding yourself with genuine, supportive people is essential for nurturing your authentic self. Seek out relationships that accept and celebrate you for who you are. Connect with individuals who inspire and uplift you, allowing your true essence to flourish. Authentic connections provide a safe space to explore and express your authentic self.

Tip 5: Embrace Self-Expression

Authenticity thrives when you express yourself freely and fearlessly. Whether through art, writing, dance, or any other form of creative expression, find your unique voice and let it be heard. Embrace the joy and liberation that comes from sharing your thoughts, ideas, and passions with the world. Remember, your authentic self is a gift meant to be shared.

Unleash Your Authentic Self: Embrace Your Unique Power and Illuminate the World!

Now that you’ve armed yourself with these powerful tips, it’s time to take the leap and fully embrace the beauty of your authentic self. Let your quirks, values, and inner voice be the guiding forces that lead you towards a life that feels true to who you are.

Remember, authenticity is not about conforming or fitting into a mold. It’s about celebrating your unique essence and allowing it to shine brightly. Embrace your quirks, for they make you one-of-a-kind. Stay connected to your core values, as they will anchor you in times of uncertainty. And never underestimate the wisdom of your inner voice—it holds the key to your true desires and passions.

As you embark on this transformative journey of self-discovery, be patient and gentle with yourself. It’s a process that unfolds over time, and there may be moments of self-doubt or challenges along the way. But trust in your ability to navigate through them, guided by the authenticity that resides within you.

So, my friend, go ahead and unleash your authentic self upon the world. Embrace the beauty of who you are and let it radiate outwards. Your unique light has the power to inspire and uplift not only yourself but also those around you. Embrace the joy and fulfillment that comes from living in alignment with your true essence.

It’s time to shine your light and embark on this incredible journey. Embrace the beauty of your authentic self and let it guide you towards a life that feels authentically yours. Embrace your quirks, honor your values, and trust your inner voice. The world is waiting to witness the magic that unfolds when you embrace your true self.

So, go forth, my friend, and let your authenticity be the guiding star that leads you to a life of purpose, joy, and fulfillment. Embrace the beauty of your authentic self and let it shine brightly for all to see.

Motivation, man! It’s like that sneaky little force that’s supposed to get us all pumped up and chasing our dreams, right? But let’s be real, finding motivation can be a real puzzle.

How the heck do we get it? Can we order it on Amazon Prime? And seriously, is motivation one of those limited edition items that run out before we even get a chance?

We’re all on the hunt for motivation, trying out all sorts of tricks and hacks to light that fire under our butts. We devour self-help books, attend those super intense motivational seminars, and beg for wisdom from the experts. Yet, for some reason, motivation still feels like it’s playing hide-and-seek with us.

Experts are all over the place on this. Jeff Haden claims success is the magic potion that brings motivation, with small wins acting as power-ups. Then there’s James Clear, who’s all about mindset and building habits to keep that motivation train chugging along.

But here’s the deal: How the heck do we REALLY get motivated? That’s the big question I’m tackling in this article. I’ve got seven totally offbeat tips to explore the wacky world of motivation and dig up some unconventional secrets to get you amped up.

So, if you’ve ever found yourself stuck in motivation limbo or feeling like you’re missing that secret sauce to propel you toward your goals, buckle up and join me on this wild ride as I uncover some unorthodox ways to crack the code of motivation.

Ignite Your Motivation: Unleash the Power of Self-Care and Watch Your World Transform

self care for motivation

Just like a car needs fuel and regular maintenance to keep chugging along, and plants need water, fertilizer, and the right conditions to flourish, motivation also thrives on a daily dose of refueling.

You can’t just wait for the moment when you’re desperate and running on empty.

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential for survival. It’s like putting on your oxygen mask first in an airplane emergency; you gotta prioritize self-care.

And here’s the kicker: self-care is the secret sauce to unlocking motivation. As the wise T. Harv Eker once said, “If you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.”

So, if you’re having trouble revving up your motivation engine, it could be a sign that you’re not practicing enough self-care.

Ready to get your motivational mojo back? Start by making a list of things you absolutely love doing. Find that one activity that sets your soul on fire.

If you’re struggling to make time for it, guess what? It’s time to level up your self-care game. But if it brings you pure joy and lights up your world, make it a non-negotiable part of your self-care routine.

By feeding your passion and incorporating activities that make you come alive, you’ll supercharge your motivation and set yourself up for epic success.

So go ahead, embrace the power of self-care and watch your motivation soar!

“If you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.”

T. Harv Eker

Harness the Power of Meditation for Motivation: Relax, Breathe, and Let Inspiration Flow!

meditation for motivation

Meditation doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t need to don special clothes or sit in a specific way. Heck, you don’t even have to sit at all (just not while driving, please!). No need for fancy apps, dedicated rooms, or specific music.

There’s no time requirement either.

Many people shy away from meditation because sitting still and quieting the mind seems like a daunting task. It’s like being put on a timeout, and who wants that? Plus, there’s always the fear of dozing off and missing out on all the things that need to be done.

Meditation can be as simple as taking five deep breaths. Yep, it’s that easy.

How Meditation Clears the Path to Success

Ever wondered why meditation has such a profound impact on motivation? It all boils down to one simple truth: when you meditate, you’re giving your mind a fresh start. Sure, it might take some time to get the hang of it, but even just a two-minute daily practice can work wonders.

As you clear your mind through meditation, you tap into the power of your subconscious. And that’s where the real motivation lies.

While your conscious mind might try to logically analyze ways to get motivated, it’s your subconscious that holds the hidden beliefs shaping your self-perception and outlook on life.

So here’s the secret to unlocking motivation: nourishing your subconscious. It’s like tending to a garden—first, you need to uproot those pesky weeds of old patterns and limiting beliefs that keep you stuck.

I vividly recall a time when my yard was overrun with stubborn stickers. No matter how much I plowed or fertilized, those stubborn nuisances wouldn’t budge. It was only when I took a different approach—pulling them up by the roots—that I finally saw results.

That’s precisely why meditation is the key to finding your motivation. By clearing your mind, you uncover the deep-rooted causes of your lack of motivation (brace yourself, it can be a challenging process).

And once you’ve unearthed those underlying issues, you can replace them with empowering beliefs and sow the seeds of inspiration.

Remember, just like pulling up those stickers, it might take some effort and discomfort to uproot the barriers to your motivation. But trust me, the payoff is worth it. With each meditation session, you’re not only clearing the way for motivation but also fostering a fertile ground for positive growth.

So, grab a cushion, find a quiet corner, and let meditation be your guide. As you delve into the depths of your subconscious, you’ll uncover the roots of your unmotivated state. And through this transformative journey, you’ll cultivate a newfound drive, passion, and purpose.

Forget what you think you know about mediation.

https://www.proportionalplate.com/meditation/
Here’s a super simple meditation practice for you:
  1. Find a comfortable spot, sit or stand—whatever works for you.
  2. Close your eyes.
  3. Inhale through your nose, silently saying to yourself: “One.”
  4. Exhale through your nose or mouth, whispering: “Two.”
  5. Inhale, think: “Three.”
  6. Exhale, think: “Four.”
  7. Inhale, think: “Five.”
  8. Exhale, think: “Six.”
  9. Inhale, think: “Seven.”
  10. Exhale, think: “Eight.”
  11. Inhale, think: “Nine.”
  12. Exhale, think: “Ten.”

If you want, start over from one and go as long as you please. Take your time, elongate your spine, and let your breath flow naturally. The longer you practice, the more your mind and body will relax.

If your mind starts to wander, let it wander. Don’t fight it. Just return to your numbers or start from one again.

Seriously, it’s that simple. Even if you only make it to ten once, you’re already better than yesterday. And some days, you might not be as focused as others—and that’s totally okay.

Quieting your mind through meditation will unlock your creativity on whole new levels. It’ll remind you to take deep breaths during stressful moments and help you react less to situations beyond your control.

And who knows? Maybe meditation is just what you need to find that motivation you’ve been seeking!

Stepping Stones to Motivation: Embrace Small Changes for Big Results

stepping stones to motivation

“We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.”

Poet John Dryden

Destiny is shaped by our daily habits and the stories we tell ourselves. So, how can we find the motivation to cultivate better habits? It all starts with understanding your ‘why.’

To create a better tomorrow, start by making small changes. Even a 1% improvement each day can make a significant impact. And if that seems too daunting, try starting with 0.50% or 0.25%—every little step counts.

For instance, if saving money is your goal, begin by setting aside just $1 a month. Gradually increase it as you go along.

If exercising feels like a struggle, kick-start your routine with a mere 2 minutes of movement. Wiggle your hips, swing your arms, or throw a few punches in the air. Then, the next day, add another 1%.

Imagine the progress you’d make if you consistently put in 1% each day and increased it by another 1% daily. In just 365 days, you’d have achieved a staggering 3,800% improvement! That’s like being 38 times better!

Remember, you don’t always need grandiose goals to stay motivated. Small steps can lead to monumental results. So, why not start with those tiny actions today and watch them pave the way to a brighter, more fulfilling future?

Gain Motivation Through a Higher Perspective: The Ripple Effect of Your Actions

ripple effect of motivation

Taking a step back and viewing your actions, words, and patterns from a higher perspective can be a powerful motivator.

Consider the impact of your words and actions on your future self, relationships, health, and overall well-being. How will they shape your life in a year, 3 years, or 5 years? What ripple effect will they create?

By embracing this broader viewpoint, you can make wiser decisions and take actions that align with your desired outcomes.

Take exercise, for example. It sets off a chain reaction, making you feel better, look better, and even act better. It contributes to your overall health and vitality.

Perhaps you have a goal to write a book, but the motivation to sit down and face the blank page eludes you. Start small by writing just a single sentence. Change your perspective by taking your pen and paper outside, closing your eyes, and practicing the meditation technique mentioned earlier. Imagine observing yourself from a higher vantage point, studying your feelings and motivations.

This approach can be applied to any task or goal. Whenever you find yourself lacking motivation, ask yourself why. Is it something you genuinely desire? Connect with the deeper reasons behind your actions. For instance, if you feel unmotivated to clean your kitchen, remind yourself of the satisfaction and joy you’ll experience afterward.

Take a few moments to visualize yourself from a higher perspective, envisioning the task completed and embracing the sense of accomplishment that follows. Allow this visualization to fuel your motivation and drive you forward.

By adopting a higher perspective and acknowledging the positive ripple effects of your actions, you can find renewed inspiration and motivation to pursue your goals.

Finding Your Motivation: Embrace Your Authenticity for that Extra Spark!

spark of motivation

Here’s the deal: what gets you fired up to succeed might not work for anyone else. Seriously, success is a personal thing!

So, listen up and pay attention to what truly matters to YOU. Be motivated by your own authenticity.

If you’re feeling a lack of motivation, it could be because you’re not staying true to yourself. Are you putting on a show, pretending to be someone you’re not, just to please others? It’s time to break free from that cycle.

Let me tell you about this client of mine who was feeling tired and drained all the time. At first, I thought it was plain old burnout. Been there, done that, should have gotten the t-shirt. But as we dug deeper, she had an epiphany—she wasn’t being true to herself.

She had been living to please others instead of following her own passions. Sound familiar? We’ve all been there, trying to fit into a mold that’s not our own.

Sure, there are times when we have to put on a little act, like surviving that dreaded event we’d rather skip. But if you’re faking it every single day, if you’re not living your life authentically, guess what? You’re bound to struggle to find motivation.

So, here’s the deal: honor your authenticity, march to the beat of your own drum, and let that be your guiding light. Forget about what others think, and discover the real YOU. That’s where your true motivation lies.

Remember, your journey is unlike anyone else’s, and that’s the beauty of it. Embrace your individuality, find your motivation, and rock your success on your own terms.

Finding Motivation in Life’s Seasons: Embracing Change and Cultivating Inner Drive

seasons for motivation

We all go through seasons of life, but they don’t always match up to nature’s seasons.

I went through a very painful winter season that lasted about 2 years. It was more painful because I kept resisting it. I thought I had to be doing, going, improving, instead of resting and self-care. I was searching for motivation in ways I would never find it during this season of my life.

Recognizing the season that you are in is a wonderful way to gain motivation and perspective.

In Winter, you’ll need more downtime, as I did. You require more self-care and protection. You may not feel very motivated, and that’s okay. In Spring, motivation comes naturally. In Summer, you’re cultivating and protecting what you grew so naturally in Spring, and in the Fall, you are harvesting and storing for another round.

The seasons can last a short time or a long time, but resisting those moments can cause them to last a lot longer.

Here’s a pretty good explanation of seasons of life: https://www.arhantayoga.org/blog/the-four-seasons-of-life/

Unleash Your Circle of Excellence: Supercharge Your Motivation with Visualization

visualization for motivation

Let me share a cool visualization technique that can help you skyrocket your motivation. I discovered this while working on establishing my own morning routine, but hey, you can apply it to any goal you’re chasing!

So, here’s the deal:

  1. Stand up and picture a massive circle right there on the ground in front of you. Now, close your eyes and visualize that circle in all its glory. Imagine its vibrant colors, hear the imaginary applause, and soak up the fantastic feeling of accomplishing your goals like a boss.
  2. Now, think about all the incredible qualities within that circle. You’ve got superpowers, my friend! Embrace those outstanding traits and let them fill you up with confidence as you focus on the circle.
  3. Step inside that circle of awesomeness and let the magic happen. Feel the exhilaration of waking up early, following your morning routine, and smashing those goals. Engage your senses—what does it look, smell, sound, and taste like? Immerse yourself completely!
  4. Take a short breather outside the circle and rewind to a time when you absolutely rocked it. Recall an achievement, whether it’s related to your goals or any other aspect of your life. Now, step back into the circle and imagine basking in that triumph. Picture yourself taking a bath in brilliance and relish the feeling of doing something extraordinary.
  5. Step out of the circle again, but this time keep your eyes open. Picture yourself throwing energy into the circle, making it even more potent. Think of another area in your life where you excelled and bring that success to mind. Now, close your eyes, step back into that circle, and let its brilliance surround you once more. Embrace how incredible you are! And to keep yourself grounded, choose a gesture like tugging your ear or making a specific motion while saying “excellent.”
  6. Finally, step out of the circle and get on with your day, my motivated friend! You can even try this visualization before bedtime to wake up fired up in the morning. And hey, if you need an extra dose of motivation during the day, revisit that circle of excellence and perform your grounding gesture. Boom!

Remember, this technique is all about tapping into your innate motivation and embracing your own unique abilities. Feel free to customize it and make it yours.

So, go ahead, unleash your circle of excellence and watch your motivation soar to new heights. You’ve got this!

Unlock Your Motivation: Embrace Authenticity, Nurture Habits, Own Your Story

own your story for motivation

Picture yourself living your best life. You’ve reached a point where a wrong decision won’t dampen your spirits. You’ve learned that mistakes happen, and you’re quick to pick yourself up and keep going, without beating yourself up.

You’ve developed the power to pause and gain a higher perspective on life. You can take a step back, look around, and truly understand your why—the driving force behind your motivation.

Authenticity has become your secret weapon for staying motivated. You’ve embraced your true self and aligned your actions with your core values.

You’ve unlocked the key to motivation and harnessed it to create positive ripple effects throughout your life. Your positive habits are now second nature, and motivation flows at your command. You fully grasp that motivation isn’t someone else’s story—it’s your very own tale of triumph.

So keep embracing authenticity, nurturing positive habits, and owning your motivation. Your story is unfolding, and it’s one for the books.

Inspired action is a powerful concept that goes beyond mere goal-setting and traditional action-taking. It is the art of aligning your thoughts, emotions, and intentions with your deepest desires and higher purpose. It involves tapping into your intuition, connecting with your inner wisdom, and allowing your actions to flow from a place of inspiration and alignment.

Unlike conventional action, which often feels forced or driven by external expectations, inspired action arises from a deep sense of inner knowing and authenticity. It is fueled by passion, enthusiasm, and a profound connection to your true self.

Inspired action is not about blindly following a rigid plan or pushing yourself relentlessly. Instead, it invites you to listen to the whispers of your heart, trust your instincts, and take steps that feel aligned with your values and aspirations. It encourages you to embrace creativity, intuition, and mindfulness as guiding forces in your journey.

When you engage in inspired action, you enter a state of flow, where time seems to dissolve, and you become fully absorbed in the present moment. You experience a sense of joy, fulfillment, and purpose, as each action becomes an expression of your authentic self.

By incorporating inspired action into your goal-setting process, you infuse your endeavors with greater meaning and significance. You move beyond simply chasing external achievements and dive into a deeper exploration of your desires, values, and passions. Inspired action allows you to align your goals with your soul’s calling and create a life that feels truly fulfilling.

Get ready to take your goal-setting journey to a whole new level as we dive into practical steps to cultivate inspired action, harness its transformative power, and integrate it into your life. These steps will empower you to unlock a fresh wave of motivation, ignite your creativity, and align your actions with your deepest desires. Are you ready to embark on this exciting path of inspired action? Let’s get started and unleash your full potential!

Step 1: Cultivate Awareness – Reflect on the interplay between action and inspiration in your life. Are you finding a balance, or is there room for intentional shifts? Awareness sets the stage for inspired action to shine.

Step 2: Tune into Your Intuition – Connect with your inner wisdom through meditation, journaling, or nature time. Listen to your heart’s whispers and trust your gut feelings. Your intuition is your secret superpower for setting goals that truly light you up.

Step 3: Embrace Your Creative Mojo – Unleash your creativity through painting, writing, or playing music. Engaging in artistic endeavors taps into your feminine energy and ignites inspiration. Let your creative spirit soar without worrying about the end result.

Step 4: Action with Mindfulness – Infuse your actions with mindfulness. Be fully present in each moment, noticing any resistance or attachment. Release them and infuse your actions with intention and purpose.

Step 5: Surrender and Trust – Loosen your grip on control and surrender to the natural flow of life. Trust that incredible things can unfold when you let go and let inspired action guide you. Believe in your abilities and have faith that the universe supports you.

Step 6: Strive for Balance – Find a groove that harmonizes action and inspired practices. Allocate dedicated time for action-oriented tasks while leaving room for activities that nurture your creativity and intuition. Let stillness and reflection work their magic in your daily life.

Closing: Remember, this journey is about inner transformation and aligning with your authentic self. By embracing inspired action and striking a balance between your goal-getter side and your creative soul, you’ll embark on a holistic adventure that enriches your life in unimaginable ways. Get ready to soar to new heights!

It’s Time to Reclaim Your Balance

We’ve got to have a real talk about the forces that shape our lives—the masculine and feminine energies. Society has conditioned us to prioritize the go-getter, action-oriented masculine energy while sidelining the nurturing and creative feminine energy.

But guess what? It’s time to hit the reset button and restore harmony. It’s time to honor that incredible creative force within each and every one of us.

Introducing the Dance: Exploring Masculine and Feminine Energies

In my quest for personal growth, I stumbled upon an amazing post that beautifully breaks down the differences between masculine and feminine energy. If you’re curious, I highly recommend giving it a read at www.pausemeditation.org.

Finding Balance: A Personal Journey

On my own journey, I had a profound realization. Relying solely on action planning was draining the vitality from my life. My once-vibrant imagination was withering, and something had to change—fast.

That’s when it hit me—I needed to embrace the feminine energy, tap into my intuition, and loosen my grip on control. It was a wild ride, but in that surrender, I discovered a sense of liberation I had never experienced before.

Igniting Your Wholeness: Embracing the Dance

Now it’s your turn to find your own balance between the masculine and feminine energies. Embrace action, but also remember to nourish your soul and allow your creativity to flow freely. Connect with your intuition, trust your inner guidance, and witness the unfolding of new possibilities.

A Journey of Self-Discovery and Self-Love

This is a journey of self-discovery and self-love. Once you start dancing with both energies, life takes on a whole new dimension. You’ll feel more aligned, more fulfilled, and more in tune with your true essence.

Closing: Keep Rockin’ and Embrace the Beauty of Balance!

So take a deep breath, my fellow seeker of balance. Embrace the dance of masculine and feminine energies within you. Reclaim your wholeness, honor your creative force, and witness the magic of life unfold.

You’ve got this! Let your feminine energy shine bright and ignite the world with your unique spark.
