5 Things NOT to DO – EVER!

1. Avoid Money

Money loves your attention and understanding. The more attention and understanding you give to your money, the more you have of it – it’s that simple.

Money does not have power over us. It only has power over us when we relinquish our power to it.

Every time you avoid looking at your bank account, avoid opening your bills, keeping them instead in a pile, or tossing them into the trash unopened, you spend more money than what you actually have – due to avoiding your reality. Each time you do this, you are choosing to continue on the path to more struggles with money, instead of creating your abundance. There is no way to avoid this truth – you must take new action if you are to bring more money in.

Every single time you avoid money, you demonstrate to the universe that you believe in lack. You are demonstrating that you cannot handle more money, because you struggle to handle the money you have now. This avoidance is blocking the flow of money into your life.

The amount of money in your life today is a true reflection about what you believe you can or cannot have – that is it.

You deserve to give your attention and understanding to money. Choose to honor yourself right now and look at your money today. Write your expenses and income out on paper, look at your banking statements on line to see where all your money is going to and get clear about what you need to change within so you can create and have more money in your life.

2. Settle for LESS – In any area of your life.

“Suffer not one exception” -unknown

Often we settle for less and don’t even realize we are doing it. I want you to really think about this. Think about how it applies to your life, and decide to move yourself – today – to get clear about where you are settling for far less than you deserve in your life.

Are you in a relationship that brings you down, rather than bringing out the best in you?

Are you in a marriage that you are settling for because you are afraid that you can’t survive on your own, financially?

  • Do you believe that you can’t lose weight, or create ultimate health in your life?
  • Are you unhappy in your current career?
  • Do your children show you disrespect?
  • Do you have chaos and clutter in your life?
  • Do you choose to do nothing to change your life, instead of empowering yourself, and getting the necessary support to transform your life?
  • Do you tell yourself you want to decorate your house, travel, take a dance class – but then never do?

We often settle for putting our needs on the back burner, for less money than we deserve, for sex that is unfulfilling, for clothes that make us feel uncomfortable, for broken and unrepaired things, and for waiting until tomorrow to do what we need to do today. We even settle for feeling like we are flawed, or less than acceptable in some capacity.

3. Be Uncomfortable in Your Body

You deserve to feel amazing in your own skin I promise you there is nothing that tastes, or feels better than this!

We can be uncomfortable in our bodies for a number of different reasons. The most common, is when we don’t speak out in truth. Or perhaps, for you it is when you are not living life on purpose, lacking passion, unwilling or unable to ask for needs or wants. Maybe you are saying yes when you mean no, carrying extra body fat and feeling uncomfortable in your clothes. Let’s face it, when we are uncomfortable in our bodies, we don’t take risks. We hold back from doing the exact thing we so desire to do, because we unconsciously hold back from fully revealing ourselves to others, thereby keeping people at a distance.

When you embrace and address why you feel uncomfortable in your body – you can than empower yourself to change it by getting the support you need, plan in place and the

Where do you feel uncomfortable in your body and why?

4. Anything Less than Impeccable Self-Care – Will never do.

When you create impeccable self care in your life not only to you feel amazing but you have so much more to give to the people you love your career and you have the energy to do the things you really want to do.

  • Self-care is about honor yourself and your needs.
  • Do you take at least 30 minutes for yourself each day?
  • Do you feed yourself and your soul with fuel, love, happiness and nourishment?
  • Do you brush your teeth before you go to bed and have a bedtime ritual?
  • Do you have positive self-talk or is your talk filled with self-punishment?
  • Do you prioritize your work schedule? Do you have a start and end time, or do you work around the clock never really creating or completing anything – yet always feeling like you are working.

5. Allow Distraction and Procrastination

Distraction and procrastination keep us living in a very small version of who we were born to be. It often leaves us in indecision mode – avoiding the decision we know we need to make…the exact decision that would change our life in a positive way. What is important to know is that if your life is filled with distractions and you know you are procrastinating, you have the free choice to decide to do something about this – unless of course you like living your life here.

I know you don’t – and I also want you to know that you have the power to change your life, get what you want (and keep it)!

Most distraction and procrastination is a result of not having a clear plan, not believing you can, and not moving beyond the blocks that keep you stuck here.

Do yourself a big loving favor and please stop:

  • Focusing on what everyone else is doing, or not doing.
  • Eating sugar, or foods that serve your body – because of fear.
  • Thinking, even for one second, that you can’t do something.
  • Hiding behind your computer.
  • Hiding out in your life.
