”As a one-on-one life coach I have worked with numerous people who, on the verge of important accomplishments  and breakthroughs – procrastinate, stop their sessions, doubt themselves, get distracted and sabotage their own success.  It beats getting their hopes up and having somebody else dash them — especially if that’s been a frequent experience in life.  By extinguishing your own hopes, your unconscious is trying to protect you from the rejection that has already happened in the past. The pain you know is familiar, and by causing it yourself … you at least feel in control. You know how things will turn out since, without realizing it, you have unconsciously set yourself up for failure.  (e.g. “See I knew it wasn’t going to work out!” or “My (Mom, Dad, husband, wife, friends) were right, I shouldn’t try this.”

People often say they procrastinate because there are lazy.  No, I suggest they put off a daunting task because they are afraid they will not be good enough to accomplish it. Or what if they do, and still feel empty inside? Not trying and making excuses is a way to keep alive the hope that things will still work out in the future. Acting mean, nasty and combative is a way to sabotage relationships and jobs to fulfill a prophesy of failure and rejection.  By unconsciously repeating self-defeating patterns that lead to failed relationships, rejection, financial struggle, addictive behavior, or dead ends…you are fulfilling your own prophecy that you are unworthy, bad, stupid or that life is unfair.

What is your personality type when it comes to; using your influence, responding to conflict, going after your goals, coping with stress or believing in your prayers and gifts?  Are you an approacher or an avoider?  Are you passive or aggressive?  Are you an optimist or a pessimist?  Do you procrastinate or are you proactive?  Are you easily offended and defensive or are you emotionally resilient? Are you a grumbler or do you wake up grateful?  Are you praying or playing around wasting time on minor tasks to avoid your major tasks?  Are you easily distracted or focused?  Are you letting people and/or circumstances drive you crazy or are you driven with passion, purpose, focus and faith to manifest your heart’s desire?  Are you closed or open to new experiences and the flow of life?  Do you run away from your problems with excuses or do you confront them with faith, courage and action?

Get focused.  Get energized.  Get going. Get back your joy. Get inspired. Get an “I’m gettin’ up out of my situation” attitude.  Get closer to people on fire!  Get the resources and tools that can help you get closer to your goals. Get some self-control.  Get some courage.  Get real.  Get on fire!  Get up!”  Click here to listen to excerpt from my CD “Get Your BUT Out of the Way.”

I am so blessed to work from home and live in Florida, because for the most part – I’m either bare foot or in flip flops!  I do not like heels like most women and that’s because of the damage it does to your feet and our spine.

Sorry ladies, but its true. Talk to any Chiropractor!  However, when I do wear them…I don’t have them on for long. lol  I know a lot of ladies love them and have shoe fetishes. So,  this one is for you!

Cure For High Heel Hangover

Easing the Pain of Beauty

by Katy Bowmen

Would we keep wearing a hat that gave us a headache or a belt that fractured our ribs? The answer is, probably not. Yet, most of us wear shoes that have multiple negative impacts on the health of our entire body. Studies in leading scientific journals show that these reverberating effects start with painful and deformed feet and can migrate up to impaired bone density and a weakened pelvic floor.

According to The Journal of Gerontology, for example, a study examining senior populations showed that a history of wearing ill-fitting and high-heeled footwear was specifically associated with poor balance, hammer toes, bunions and foot pain. Once thought to be genetic or age-related, researchers are now beginning to look at the impact that shoes have on the body.

Identifying the Culprits

The most detrimental part of the shoe to overall body structure seems to be heel height, which both increases tension in the plantar fascia (the thick connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot) and alters the position of the knees and lower back. The higher the heel, the tighter the muscles and fascia in the arch become, until walking feels painful. A heel of any height also projects one’s body mass forward, increasing the pressure on the front of the foot, which can lead to soreness there and increase the risk for bunions.

Other harmful footwear characteristics also need to be evaluated. The narrow toe spaces of many fashion favorites not only limit the foot’s natural range of motion, they diminish the strength of the toes. Weakened foot and toe muscles, resulting from years of cramping toes into a too-small space, provide insufficient strength for proper balancing and, according to the American Journal of Epidemiology, the situation can even increase the risk of knee osteoarthritis.

When researchers at the Institute for Aging Research recently analyzed foot examination data from 3,300 older men and women, they found that 64 percent of the women who reported heel and ankle pain regularly wore pumps or high heels at some time in the past. They found no significant link between foot pain and the types of shoes men wear.

Taking a Healthy Stride Forward

A lifetime of excessive shoe wearing and poor shoe choices means we need to make foot fitness a priority. It is possible to undo much footwear damage if we modify our habits. Try making the most of these foot exercises and shoe selection tips: READ FULL ARTICLE HERE!

There are physical, emotional, mental and spiritual connections between you and your environment.  The same is so when it comes to a cluttered environment.  When we look beyond the physical clutter we can begin to see the connection to the physical body.  So, just how does clutter relate to the physical body?  Often when you have clutter you’re also dealing with health concerns or excess body weight, which has you feel the same way the clutter does—drained, no balance, heavy and wanting to get out of your body.

In a cluttered space there is no real life present, there is limited movement or it can be difficult to move about the space, there is no balance, and walking into the space can make you feel uncomfortable or wanting to leave the space.  For some, the clutter is a way of protecting themselves, just as excess body weight can be a form of protection.  Getting to the root cause of the physical body issues is the key to being able to get rid of the clutter in your environment.  Weight loss or addressing health concerns opens the door and motivates you to get rid of clutter permanently and decluttering an environment clears the way to weight loss or resolving health issues.  Additionally, getting rid of the physical clutter can cause lifestyle changes.

When you look at the mental perspective, clutter accumulates in physical spaces when mental clutter begins to accumulate.  The mental clutter is the result of stress, related emotions and minor or major shifts or changes in life.  When we’re cluttered mentally, we find it difficult to focus, we’re not clear, and can feel mentally weighed down and drained.  Our thought patterns represent what the physical environment looks like.  When you free yourself of the mental load; remove the blockage, you pave the way for clearing your space and become clear again mentally.  When your mind is clear, your environment is clear.  Likewise, when your environment is clear your mind is clear.

Then there’s the emotional connection to clutter.  Now, you may not think about this area of your life being cluttered, but how many times have you known people to walk around with unresolved emotions?  What happens at the end of a relationship?  Usually there are things that remain unfinished, unsaid, and plenty of emotion as well as the baggage to go along with it.   At times it’s not a relationship that’s ended that leaves us cluttered emotionally, but the existing relationships—the vampires, draining relationships, and the abusive ones as well.  They are all forms of emotional clutter.  If there is enough of it and if it remains for long enough, this emotional clutter will flow over into your environment.  If you’re dealing with a cluttered environment, take a look at your inner circle and see who’s present.  It may be possible that there are some people in your life that need to be removed.

Finally, there’s the spiritual connections that exist between you and your clutter. This area is extremely important, as spirituality is at your core.  You are a spiritual being having a human experience.  Everything is energy, including clutter.  We know that like attracts like, therefore, clutter attracts more clutter.  The more clutter you have in a space, the heavier or more negative the energy, which impacts you directly.  This is the energy that will keep you from being productive in a number of ways.

That energy will blur your vision, keep you confused and from moving forward in life. Everyone has their own personal path; a reason why they are here on the planet, or life’s purpose and when there’s clutter you are detoured from that path because it becomes difficult to connect with your Higher Power or Creator, and your Higher or Spiritual Self.  When you hold on to things you remain connected to the past.  The things you hold onto hold the energy from past relationships or other situations, and you stay there in that space unable to connect on a spiritual level or to move forward on your path.  The clutter leaves you in a place where you have absolutely no freedom, which is completely opposite from the freedom that is inherent within you as a spiritual being.

Before you get ready to roll up your sleeves and clear the clutter from your space, take a look at what lies beneath.  What’s going on with you physically, mentally emotionally and spiritually?  There is so much more to clutter than meets the eye.  Many people think that clutter is only stuff that needs to be removed or put away, and wonder how it could be so difficult to get rid of, but don’t be fooled.  It really isn’t that simple.  You are your clutter and if you really want to get rid of the clutter once and for all, start with you.

Own Your Power, 

Simone

How do you make sense of budgeting, finance, savings?

Think of financial security as a football game. The first half is the accumulation. You work for, say, 30 or 40 years making your hard-earned income. Some of that income you put aside (hopefully) for savings and investment. (Please take a note here that you can open an IRA account with as little as $50 a month.)

Don’t have it?  Yes you do!  Just skip couple of Starbucks’ or McDonald’s goodies or clip some coupons, and you have it.

However, a retirement fund is only half the game. At some point you will stop working and the paychecks will stop coming in. Then you may well have another thirty or forty years to live off that retirement fund you’ve build up. – And you did, right? That’s the second half of the game. If you don’t play well in the third and fourth quarters, you’ll wind up losing.

Some people play well in the first half, building up substantial amounts in their retirement accounts, however they have no plan for the second half when the money is withdrawn. In fact, most people don’t even come out onto the field in the second half!

Important to remember!

The IRS plays all four quarters. That’s the government’s plan. If you don’t have your own plan, you’ll be forced into the government’s plan, the one whereby most of your retirement savings goes in form of your taxes. Given that you are not an entrepreneur who tries to pay as little taxes as possible.

The third and fourth quarter is protecting our savings. If you disciplined, you built enough cushion to live well from now through retirement, but the money may be lost in tax mistakes if don’t know how to withhold the money without triggering unnecessary taxes or penalties.

Don’t go on shopping spree just yet!

Happy about your tax refund? Think twice!

What is a refund?

The exact definition is “It is a tax rebate of your own money”. In another words, it is money given back at the end of the year. Refunds represent an INTEREST FREE loan paid back by the Government. That is not all…you are only getting  90% of your money loaned to Uncle Sam, because the Government is keeping the other 10% as an estimated tax liability for next year.

What do you do with it?

Still feeling good about that? The question you need to ask yourself is who needs the money more, you or the government?  You may argue that a refund is good, because you will never be able to save the money on your own. We all know that the refund (in most cases) is lost in our daily wants or needs.  By doing that we are losing not only the “savings from Uncle Sam” but we are losing thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, which we are really steeling from ourselves.

Let me show you a simple calculation:

The average person receives anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000 refund every year. Let’s just take the $2,000. Just by a small adjustment on your payroll withholding you can earn $167+ every month (over $300 if you get the $4000). But what you do with that? You do not go to your favorite restaurant or buy new dress. You put the money in your savings, if you don’t have any, and start accumulating until you have at least 4-6 months of your income. This account is for EMERGENCY ONLY. And, NO, the emergency is not the Manolo shoes you’re dreaming about, or a new $800 Iphone, or vacation you can’t afford.  I mean real emergency; when you lose your job, or illness prevents you from working fulltime.

Once you have your emergency fund established and feeling good about that, now is time to reward yourself. You did well, go and spend on yourself. REASONABLY!!!! Because you are still not done.

Once you have your emergency fund established you can do two things:

1. Review your mortgage and loans. Apply the monthly payment as additional ACH directly to your lender. What is there for you? Let’s assume 5%  200K loan for 30 years, and applying the $160 each month. You will save 32K on the interest, and shorten your pay off date by 5 years. (in the case of applying $300, you will save 51K and shorten the time by 7 years.)

2. Open you own IRA, annuities, or any other investment account. Just by putting the $160 a month (which can by also done directly from your paycheck), or $2,000 annually starting when you 35. Do you know that when you are 65 years old your IRA will be compounded to stunning $244,692 – tax free money!!!!!!!  Now if you would invest the $300 monthly, you will be worth close the ONE MILLION DOLLARS when you retire.

Now you tell me, is that worth the little sacrifice?

I’ve just started juicing again after just making smoothies for a while. I’m really feeling the difference in my energy even more with the ingredients of more greens in my diet.  Try this drink in the morning and you’ll see what I mean!

And please note you can control how rich your lemonade/juice is by simply adding water to make it lighter or adding kale, ginger and lemon to make it richer. I actually only use half of lemon right now, because it was a little to strong. But try it and see how your body responds. You might love it!  You can have it at least twice a day when on a juice fast as well.

Ingredients:

6 stalks of Kale
1 head of Romaine (or a few sticks of Celery)
2 Apples (Fuji or Gala recommended)
1 Lemon (the whole lemon can be juiced..even the rind!)
1 inch of Ginger (optional)

(If needed add a little bit of Agave or Coconut Nectar for Sweetening)

Juice it all up and enjoy! Let us know how you feel in a week.

Why these ingredients? 

Celery: High in calcium 1 cup of juiced celery provides 20% of your daily recommendation for calcium (take that dairy products). Also high in collagen-promoting vitamin C, and Vitamin A which is great for your vision, skin and teeth.

Kale: One of the most nutrient-dense/antioixdant rich of all vegetables. It rates 1000 on the ANDI (Aggregate Nutrient Density Index). What does this mean? Include it is your diet as often as possible!

Apple: As they say, an apple a day, keeps the doctor away. The antioxidant quercetin, helps boost your endurance by increasing oxygen to the lungs, so it’s great pre-run. It is also good for detoxifying and digestive health. The sweetness may help reduce your cravings for processed sweets.

Lemon: Although they seem acidic, lemons have an alkalizing effect on the body. They deliver an immune boost with Vitamin C, and a mild diuretic effect, helping you shed water weight.

Ginger: Helps with gastrointestinal problems, is highly anti-inflammatory, and protects against certain types of cancer.
