“WHY?”
That was the question I asked myself one winter evening, while sitting on my bed with my head resting in my palms.
Personal development didn’t seem to be what people said it was. Where was the change? Where was the positivity?
All I saw was more of what I didn’t like.
My bookshelf was filled with books on spirituality, self-growth, productivity, and even out of body experiences, but none of them seemed to do any good, or did they?
You see, the counter-intuitive (and funny) thing about embarking on the path of personal growth is that it’s not going to be all cakes and cookies.
Some people give up when the going gets tough, but those that stick with it realize that it’s not about achieving the end result and becoming perfect—free from problems.
It’s about the journey of growth; of becoming more of who you already are.

Failure is the key to success.
The more mistakes you make and learn from, the wiser you become.
The people that embrace mistakes are usually the ones that rise to success and reach their goals the fastest.
A nice side-effect of this is that you are more relaxed and enjoy the present moment, because you aren’t trying to prevent “failure.”
When you’re starting out, you will probably feel the opposite. You have no experience, and you don’t know what you’re doing, so you want to be perfect.
It’s completely backwards.

What stops you from taking action?
Is it overwhelm, fear of failure, anxiety, and a host of of blocks, thoughts, and feelings?
How interested would you be in learning a way to effortlessly take action despite them?
When you implement what you are about to learn, you will dramatically reduce your “procrastination time.”
You won’t suddenly become a productivity machine, but you might, because you never know, right?
The simple secret to taking massive action is so simple that you may end up laughing when you discover what it is, but it truly works.
And you will discover exactly what I’m talking about when you use it in your own life.

Would you like to follow your heart, but your mind or something else is stopping you?
Does it feel uncomfortable, uncertain, and maybe even confusing to follow your heart?
What you are experiencing is very normal and very common when you are beginning to follow your heart.
It is just the sign that you are heading in the right direction, because your mind and body are making adjustments to a new way of being and living.
I’ve been bumping into this during coaching sessions with my clients over and over again. They want to follow their heart, but it’s hard and it doesn’t make “sense.”
Your mind wants proof that heart-centered living works. The only problem is that you won’t get proof until you start to follow your heart.
It will feel awkward and weird at first, like anything new, but once you see that your heart is leading you on exactly the path you need, your mind will automatically begin to trust.

Ever since I’ve been making a living online doing what I love, people have been curious about what a typical day in my life looks like.
At first I thought it was just one or two people who wanted to know, but as time has passed, more and more have asked.
I even had a coaching client ask me last week what a day in my life looks like, so I took that as a sign that I needed to address it in a post and let it all out.
The problem with writing about my typical day is that my schedule tends to change depending on what routine I feel good following, and what my mood is like, but I’ve gotten into a good groove the last few months that I’m going to spell out here.
Even though my schedule changes, the same parts are still there, though they may be in different places at different times of the year.
I do my best to keep my life simple, and relaxed, while still getting things done. I don’t worry about being amazingly productive. I focus on doing what I enjoy, going with the flow, and trusting the process.
