Toxic relationships are super hard to deal with when you're in them, but it's also super hard to deal with the repercussions of these toxic relationships.

SO how do we deal with them? And how do we not bring them into new relationships? 

To start, we all carry baggage. Baggage is a term commonly used to describe the emotional sh*t we take with us wherever we go. It holds us back and drags us down, and it drags our loved ones down too.

In the podcast I equated "baggage" to a backpack full of rocks. (jump to 2:20) the rocks are our past traumas and the more rocks we have the heavier it gets. (Because emotional baggage is VERY heavy)

When we get out of an old relationship we pack up all of our rocks hunker down and say "ON TO THE NEXT ONE" so when we come along our next relationship we hand over our giant bag of rocks and say "here you go, good luck!"

And that's a funny visual, but in reality...it's not so funny. We expect our new partner to take on this heavy bag of...

Ever feel like what USED to WORK is NO LONGER Working?

Is the VERY THING that USED to get you RESUTS, is now not delivering the same outcomes? In fact.... it may be sucking up so much of your mental, physical and emotional energy for the return you are getting.

It can be super frustrating and confusing!

What GIVES? 

The OLD Operating System: NO PAIN, NO GAIN

When we were younger we bought into the idea that if we hustle, and work our asses off, and harness the "no pain, no gain" kind of mentality that we will GET RESULTS.

In athletics, in business, in life - this was the golden rule I certainly was exposed to.

AND... IT WORKED. For the most part.

I hustled. I grinded. I PUSHED through pain. In fact I LOVED the struggle. That's where all the GLORY was. 

I NEEDED the Pain and Fear as a launching pad to take ACTION and MOTIVATE me.

I NEEDED the STRUGGLE in order to EXPERIENCE the bliss in the reward.  That was what I NEEDED to go through back then and it...

As a high-performance coach, I hear a lot about how relationships are hard work.

Or that we need to sacrifice things that matter to us and compromise who we are to have this amazing, kickass relationship.

Even, that we need to struggle for a long time together and come out stronger to be the power couple that we want to be.

But the people that are saying these things and show it off on social media...are bullshit. Or they are gearing towards a different audience and maybe that kind of lifestyle or relationship style isn't fit for you and your partner.

A BIG one I hear from people is that "I don't deserve a relationship like that." But where does that come from?

We see things as challenges, and what do we do when we are presented with a challenge? We want to overcome it or fix the problem. And the "problem" in this scenario is our relationships.

We want to be FIXERS

We get sucked into the belief that the fighting and the conflict is an essential part of the growth of our...

 Sometimes we feel that we are being called to go somewhere and do something, but our head can get in the way.

We get stuck in our old ways and our brains get into this groove, and these comfort zones. And our brains really like comfort zones

BUT those patterns and comfort zones aren't healthy, so what can we do to stop those patterns?

I talked in the video about checking and reevaluating our vision, and how that can really determine how we approach our life and our business.

Cutting back on patterns that hold us back is going to help us so much in the long run because...
What got you to where you are now is not going to get you to where you really want to be.

When we are stuck in our heads, that creates a really limited space for us to operate from.

So when we lean into our hearts we start to see great things come about. God sees our efforts and gives us results even though we may not see it right away or even expect it.

As soon as we learn to lean into...

When you're doing the WORK but the outside world doesn't feel like it's catching up... It's EASY to fall back into old patterns.

Here is why, what you can do, and how to EXPAND your WORLD...

What is in store for you in 2019?

Are you going to be the CAPTAIN of your SHIP, be proactive or just be along for the ride - reacting to whatever comes your way?

Have you THOUGH about it?

So MANY of us are setting for LESS than we want and are capable of every single day - and that life is leaving us feeling stagnant, complacent and stuck.

We start off with greatest intentions until... something derails us, often unintentionally,  and then we are going through the motions all over again.

HOW do we stop this from happening and ensure we follow through on the promises to ourselves? HOW do we experience more this year?

I want to challenge you to take time now, as we close out 2018 and start new in 2019 to look at the BIG Picture of your LIFE

Are you HAPPY with the level of Energy, Purpose and Relationships in your life right now?

If the answer is no - I want to INVITE you to join me in an Annual Planning Process I recently introduced my clients to and we are going to...

ARE YOU DRIFTING OR PURPOSE FILLED?

Remember the last time you went on vacation?

Do you remember how much time, energy and thought you put into planning it? Finding flights, deciding where to stay, what restaurants to check out... what activities you MUST add to your 'bucket list'. Planning trips is so exciting and I have yet to meet someone who doesn't get jazzed up about it.

It's exiting! It's something we look forward to... and something we invest incredible attention and Intention to.

Here's the thing.

Most of us spend more time planning a weekend getaway or a dinner out than we really put into intentionally planning our LIVES.

It's sad and unfortunately very true.

Then we wake up one day and wonder..... "What happened? How on earth did I get this way?"

"THIS is not how I thought I would look/feel/end up!"

Hmmmm. That my friend is what I call the DRIFT.

The best analogy I’ve come up with while working with clients to describe how most people live their lives is that...

The start of the week is a great time to do a check in with yourself and be INTENTIONAL about what you want for yourself in the next 7 days.  Instead of waking up and going through the motions each day I want you to take 10-20 minutes and think about how you want to STEER your day and your week.

What about your personal goals or personal life?
