Goal Setting Made Easy!

Whether you are a CEO in training, an aspiring dancer, or an up and coming artist; you want to work at a steady progressively inclined pace towards your bigger picture. By now, we all should know that "Progress is indeed a Process" and "Patience is a Virtue". I'm sure have no desire to  rush to get nowhere fast - So fast that you miss the substantial work that's required behind this "busyness" everyone wants to somehow portray.  And I am also pretty sure we all know at least one person who is always so busy - busy - busy doing this, busy doing that but lacks productivity. 

When we think about setting goals we tend to have these huge, lavish, extraordinary goals in mind. Indeed, we should definitely "think big" but it's going to be those smaller goal-oriented accomplishments that will foster us into that bigger extraordinary thought! It's a very simple technique to set goals and it works - so here it goes:

• Write down your major long-term goal(the extraordinary one)
• Under your long-term goal, write down what it will take to fully accomplish this goal.(These are your secondary long-term goals) Ask yourself questions such as: "Do I need some type of skill, trade, certification, or degree for this goal?
• Directly following under your secondary goal, write out what it will take to get that goal accomplished. For example, if your secondary goal is to invest in a vehicle to open your own Mobile Pet Grooming Service (the extraordinary goal) then, you would write out what it will take to purchase a car or van. (down payment, co-signer, credit check, etc) You can't be mobile without some sort of vehicle right?

Do you see the pattern?

Once you have identified your goal, all you are then doing is breaking down what it will take to fulfill that goal. By the time you are done, you will have a ladder full of goals (short-term & long-term) 

• Create a feasible timeline and organize your goals by dates. 
• Hang your timeline somewhere visible where you are engaging daily. (office, closet door, back of bathroom door, mirror, etc)  

Is it becoming clearer to you? The key is to (mentally) START at the top and visualize that it's already done. The only thing you are doing is navigating your way through the physical work.  

Now it's time to manifest! ;)   

Working your way up to larger sized goals is an important process. It is also a process that is over-looked often because this is where the true grind lies - in the work. 

As always, i encourage and implement these teachings to my clients and with much practice, they not only become goal setters but more importantly they become goal accomplishers!

Peace Be Still Business Woman

As a professional woman, I know first hand the struggles of maintaining a sense of peace and serenity within the temple which is of sacred divineness - all the while tackling a chaotic world from a business standpoint. It's true, no matter how big our S is on our chest or how "super womanish" we have convinced ourselves to be, We are just as vulnerable in receiving emotional attacks just as the next woman however for the professional woman, business must go on. Correct? Professional women has made it apart of her curriculum to cover up her baggage just a tad bit better and a little bit more strategic than others and in doing so, the oh so savvy, tailored suit wearing woman begins to collect extra baggage on the way up the ladder of success only to come to a point of mental deterioration once her breaking point is reached. 

Let it Go

Because we are in this competitive, must meet deadlines, superficial game of societal views, peace of mind has some how crawled its way to the very dark corners of our reality  Why is this woman?

Here are just a few questions to confront yourself with when seeking mental stability or balance:

1.  Am I competing for something? If so, what is it that I am competing for? What is the prize? Is it worth putting my mental health in jeopardy? 
2.  Do I have to force myself to take a break from work?
3. I love what I do but does my work put my emotional health at risk?
4. Do I work so much to bury myself and hide from a specific pain within myself?
5. If I need someone  to help me sort out internal issues, do I have resources to tap into? Do I have a support team set up for the greater of my good? 
6. Am I neglecting some aspect of taking care of myself? Whether it's committing to a hair appointment every 2 weeks or a good clean Brazilian wax; self care is extremely essential to the busy business woman.

Those are just a few questions that you would want to ask yourself. Once you reflect on your answers, be very truthful with yourself, and then proceed to pinpoint the areas in which you need help to maintain balance from a spiritual point of view.

For the business woman we understand that losing ourselves in our work can easily happen. That's the known part, but what can you do when you find yourself popping Tylenol after Ibuprofen after another? (or other synthetic pharmaceutical drugs) The first step is to identify that you are reaching a point of mental exhaustion. It's not a good thing to wait until you have reached that point - the name of the game is prevention thus becoming aware that you are traveling in that direction but before you fully arrive, your body will give you all the warnings you need, it is up to you to watch for the red flags.

A great starting place will be to reach out to a Life Coach that specializes in the areas in which you will benefit from the most.  I understand the value of investing in yourself and as a life coach, I want you to get the best out of your experience which includes your internal successes and peace of mind.
