How to Sharpen Your Intuition Quickly (I Still Do This!)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Happy Tuesday!

Do you tend to doubt yourself when you get a ‘gut’ feeling about someone or something?

I tend to work with a lot of high-achieving, high-performing women who have shared with me on more than one occasion that they want to trust their intuition more in relationships, but there’s a tendency to go into their head and try to “figure it out first.”

When I press on a bit more, they share things like, “It feels really frustrating to have to always figure it out, especially if I’ve had a rough day.” “I wish tuning into my intuition was easier-is there a way to just automate it?!!” (That one made me laugh, but I totally totally get this desire!)

This is completely normal-we are taught and even asked by society and especially in the business world, “What do you think?” first. It’s a reasonable question, but it takes you completely into your mental space before anything else, which overtime, can make it feel very weird and sometimes challenging to drop into your intuition and get more clarity.

It can bring up overwhelm, pushing and self-doubt.

So, in the spirit of keeping things very simple for maximum impact, if you’re serious about shifting this tendency to go up in your head and want to learn how to dial into a gut feeling or nudge or even deciphering an intense dream you had, do this instead.

Blocked In (True Story)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Happy Tuesday! 

Have you ever had something happen so random that you never saw coming? 

Here in AZ, there was a powerful dust storm that swept through our neighborhood-it lasted maybe an hour, but in that time, the huge tree that sits outside the front of our home came crashing down.

When I opened the front door, the brand that broke had completely blocked the entrance and there was no way to get out that way. I had to go through the garage. 

I had been doing some massive Feng-Shui and of course, that’s where my mind went!

No! I can’t have it blocking our front entrance-that’s blocking opportunities coming in. 

Rob rolled his eyes. 

Not long after, a landscaper happened to be driving by-again, middle of the day, super seemingly random, but I don’t know that I believe in random. 

He said it looked like we needed help and offered his services. He was super grateful for the work and we were super grateful for him. 

And what I realized is that as that branch and possibly the entire tree get uprooted and removed from the property, I can choose to look at it from another perspective. 

Instead of going into my head, freaking out about how it’s temporarily blocking our entrance and “opportunities,” what if this was the massive removal of blocks to said opportunities and growth? 

Whoa…I’m telling you, I teach this stuff and there are days like this when Spirit truly reminds me who is really in charge. 

Q: What in your life is being removed or released right now? How can you see it as a blessing?

It’s Time for a Spring Clean!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Happy Tuesday and Spring! 

Have you been cleaning stuff out early like me? 

Sometimes I feel like I’m in a constant state of decluttering. 

It’s so freeing to organize, let stuff go and clean! 

Spring time is the perfect season to re-evaluate what you want to give life to and also notice what renews your energy and what depletes it. 

When it comes to love and relationships, so often we stay too long in connections that we’ve outgrown or that deplete us. 

You may stay because you are afraid of hurting the other person or feel afraid of the changes required of you if you move on, without any guarantees of what will be waiting for you on the other side. 

Or you may worry about what someone or the mysterious “they” will think.

But Spring invites you to take stock of our most important relationships and to get super clear on your values. So that you put your energy into things that feel aligned with your most authentic self. 

Some examples of values are: Beauty, Power, Health, Family, Leaving a Legacy, Freedom, Passion, Creativity, among others. 

Are you game for a bit of spring cleaning? 

This week, let’s do a Spring Clarity List!

  1. I encourage you to take out a sheet of paper. Draw a line down the middle. 
  2. On the left, write down your top 3-5 values. The things you want to measure everything against for the next 30 days. What is most important to you right now? 
  3. On the right, write down at least 5 people you are in relationship with. This could be from any area of your life. Your intuition will share the first names that come. Trust that. 
  4. Then ask yourself, “Does this relationship with this person align with my values? If so, which one(s)?” If they don’t, then ask yourself what you are getting out of the connection. And what fears come up around making changes or exiting it. For the ones that do, celebrate those connections and commit to spending more time and energy with them over the next 30 days! 

That’s it! 

Q: What came up for you as you did this exercise? What is one of your top values? 

Hit reply and share if you feel guided and happy Spring! 

ps: Would you like a spiritual mentor to go to the next level of trusting your intuition, and attract healthy, lasting relationships? Let’s talk! 

Have Trouble with Follow Through? I’ve Got You!

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Happy Tuesday! 

Today’s questions is about follow through! 

Q: “How do I overcome a lack of follow through with accomplishing my goals? I’ll start out great-and hen get stuck, spinning my wheels in the beginning stages of implementation. I want to get out of my own way! What can I do?” 

Watch below or prefer to read? Scroll down!

A: Often times when we experience a lack of follow through, there are a few things that could be going on. 

1) Your ‘why’ isn’t compelling enough.

The truth is, anytime we attempt to move towards something we have never done or had before, in the beginning it will feel foreign, hard or weird, even if deep down, we know we want it. But if your reason for it isn’t compelling enough, staying stuck is actually safer than pushing through a challenge, obstacle like ‘not enough time, etc.’ without that strong “why,” it’s hard to keep going when things become less than ideal which they never really are. 

2)  The goal (or the plan to implement) is too big. 

Breaking things down into manageable steps that your brain and body can handle is essential. Ex: I’m going to clean out the garage today becomes…I’m going to remove anything from the bottom shelf in the garage that needs to go. Get support from a friend or a coach if it’s a huge dream or goal. Chucking gives you space to have small wins, which is important when doing anything new to keep momentum up! 

3) Let go of perfection.

Doing something new means it’s not going to be perfect. Take imperfect action and give yourself permission to f–ck it up. If you are doing it with a pure heart and good intent, then even if you make a mistake, trust that the Universe will send you the info you need to correct it, revise or move through it. Stop letting yourself get held back by the need to prove something, do it perfectly or avoid judgement. You’ve got this!
