Is it true that a meaningful life is all about making better choices?

Is it true that a meaningful life is all about making better choices?

“A happy, healthy, meaningful life is all about making better choices.”
 
Ever heard that before?
 
It’s well-meaning, no doubt. But is it true?
 
NO, not by a long shot!!!
 
For most people, there’s a LOT more to changing behaviors than simply deciding to do better. 
 
Many interconnected factors influence those behaviors—from how you feel physically and emotionally, to your relationships and job, to your living environment, and even your outlook on your life and what you believe is possible. 
 
Plenty of things in life can distract you and throw you off track. Yet many of us never see any of this coming—even though these are the exact things that have derailed us before. 
 
As a result, we end up frustrated and disappointed because we’ve once again “failed.”
 
It can feel a little bit like that movie Groundhog Day, where Bill Murray relives the same day over and over and over. 
 
CAN YOU FEEL ME ON THIS?
 
I felt this for years, until I took these 3 steps that were truly the catalyst to my growth, success, peace, joy, and more!!
 
1. I decided that I was ready, that I didn’t have all the answers and I was committed to making a change no matter what anyone else around me was doing. I got super clear on my deepest priorities. 
 
2. I pushed myself to get uncomfortable and get in rooms with other women who wanted what I wanted and who were doing the things I wanted to be doing. This meant going to workshops, retreats, and events to connect, learn, grow and expand. 
 
3. I hired a coach because guess what we all cannot see our own blind spots and attachments to limiting beliefs. At this point, I’ve hired coaches for: health, business, spirituality, lifestyle, and masterminds too. I will never not have a coach, as I am always looking to be better personally and professionally!
 
Unsure where you should start? Hit reply and simply say START and we’ll come up with a plan together!
 
I am excited to hear from you!

Do you feel like you are on the treadmill of life day in and day out, without clarity or fulfillment?

Do you feel like you are on the treadmill of life day in and day out, without clarity or fulfillment?

When I read the below quote from James Clear earlier in the month, all I could think was, AMEN, YES, THANK YOU, MIC DROP!

This is 100% aligned with the decisions I have been making this year. I have been ensuring that I am building and designing my life, both personal and business, in a way that feels good to me, based on my deepest priorities, and not just one that looks good on the outside…..

 
Do you feel like you are on the treadmill of life day in and day out, without clarity or fulfillment? Maybe it’s time you jumped off for a few days and got super clear on your deepest priorities and how you want to feel.
 
Hit reply and let me know your thoughts on this quote, and I can help you make a plan to take a few days off the treadmill….
 
“Do not confuse things that are hard with things that are valuable. Many things in life are hard. Just because you are giving a great effort does not mean you are working toward a great result. Make sure that mountain is worth climbing.”
 
Here’s to digging deep within ourselves this week,
Carmen

A Wonderful Reminder For Us All This Week

A Wonderful Reminder For Us All This Week

A wonderful reminder for us all this week:

 

Always see with fresh eyes, an open heart, and a beginner’s mindset. Our best teachers are right in front of us; take time to connect!

 

“In life, there isn’t a single person that knows everything, and there is no person that knows nothing. It’s not too late to learn because you just need to develop that interest, talk to people, share with them what you have and learn from them. There is no breakthrough in this world if you are isolated, you can only make a breakthrough by talking to people. – Marie-Christine Gasingirwa

We’ve probably all heard that “expectations are the thief of all joy”, right?

We’ve probably all heard that “expectations are the thief of all joy”, right?

We’ve probably all heard that “expectations are the thief of all joy”, right? Maybe even heard it so much that it no longer means anything to us. Maybe we still hold expectations for others, results, and ourselves that are causing upset? Maybe we don’t even realize?

 

Here’s a new view on that old quote, I hope this hits home today, and you dig into where you may need to loosen up those expectations and controlling behaviors to experience your life fully….

 

“Raise your ambitions. Lower your expectations.

The higher your ambitions, the bolder your actions.

The lower your expectations, the greater your satisfaction.

Achieve more and be happy along the way.” – James Clear

 

Sending you so much love and light today,

Carmen

Back in June, I wrote these words in my journal.

Back in June, I wrote these words in my journal.

Back in June, I wrote these words in my journal.  Today I share them with you….
 
My hope if you will read them out loud to yourself, feel them deeply in your soul, and show up today fully in your life – encouraged, inspired, and powerful!
 
Just being better is not where I want to live.  I choose to allow myself to receive, to jump, and to be catapulted into greatness.  Unfocused work that is not aligned with my highest self and purpose in life does not serve me.  Consumption of other’s content does not serve me.  Worrying about other people’s experiences around me to the detriment of my own does not serve me.  God has placed all of the answers within me- stop f**king covering them up and hiding.  
 
My life is full, blessed, and happy AND there is so much more available to experience if I allow my heart to open and receive it!  The world needs me and my unique gifts!
 
Sending you a ton of light and love,
Carmen
