Lessons to Learn





"Lessons keep getting harder until we learn from them."


I heard this quote and it really hit home.  Sometimes we keep living the same horrendous day over and over and don't learn from our mistakes or make changes.  I know my eating disorder was like that.  I would starve myself the whole day, then binge and purge at night. Then repeat. 

We get into habits that are hard to break. Both good and bad habits are ingrained and hardwired into our brains.  Maybe for you it's dating the same type of guy or girl that treats you like crap, ordering more and more stuff you don't need online, avoiding telling you spouse how you really feel, show up to the job you hate every day, and so on... 

The pain we endure will continue until we have fully learned our lesson.  It will keep showing up in our lives until we stand up and have enough courage to break the cycle.  All it takes is standing up for yourself TODAY and then doing the same the next day! I think the hardest part of showing up whole-heartedly in life is worrying about making the wrong decision or upsetting others. The only person you should be living for is yourself. Everything is between you and God or the Universe behind closed doors.  If you are not proud of the person you are know you can change and live a completely different life than before! You are not cursed and are strong enough to break the cycle!! I believe in you! <3

Life-Long Learner



I'm ringing in the New Year on a mission to help and impact as many lives as I can!  One of my strengths is teaching and leading others to become the best version of themselves. If one of your 2018 goals relates to health, wellness, or personal development I'm offering opportunities in Iowa for continuing education and learning by partnering with Iowa Lakes Community College.  I will be teaching a few classes each month starting in January.  Here is the link to their website where you will see the classes, descriptions, and registration information: (Be sure to look at both pages!) https://iowalakes.augusoft.net/index.cfm?method=ClassListing.ClassListingDisplay&int_category_id=3&int_sub_category_id=39&int_catalog_id=

The Power of Podcasts

Road trips are good for catching up on my podcasts!  Here are just a few I listen to. Each one has a unique purpose and message.  I prefer the ones that are only about 20-30 minutes in length and tend to listen to them when I am at the gym or in my car. They keep me focused, energized, motivated, and positive about the future!  Even a life coach needs a little pep talk every once in awhile!  What podcasts do you listen to? I'm always looking for new ones! Please share!

Words of Wisdom-Weekend Edition


 

Society can break us. So much negativity and bashing. It pains me to hear about a client's daughter being bullied at school, endless complaints on Facebook about anything and everything, bad attitudes, jealousy, and put-downs. If you want to feel bad about yourself log into any social media website. We tend to compare our lives, jobs, bodies, incomes, houses, cars, and gadgets to our neighbors. The world can be a tough, nasty place! What role do you play in all of this? Are you adding to it or leading people in another direction? Make it your mission to be the light for others. Set the example. Teach your kids to respect and love themselves and others. To do the right thing. Live life in a Godly way. Be honest. Genuine. Be happy for others. Give compliments freely. Be kind. Spread joy. Take a stand. Rise up and be bold-the world needs you!

I've Learned

One of my all time favorite quotes!!! I included an amazing picture I took when I was in San Diego also!


"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life."

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
