Episode 14 - Creativity & Higher Consciousness w/ Special Guest Author Robert T. Norton

How are you doing with your New Year's Resolutions?  Are you getting wear you want to be, or are you getting stuck and need some help?

Resistance is a natural part of getting stuck and getting unstuck. On one hand, we get stuck because we create emotional resistance to things that are new, scary, or just plain out of our comfort zone.  On the other hand, like a bike chain that connects the front gears to the back gears on a bike, we have to have positive resistance in order to move ourselves forward.  You don't get very far when the chain slips off the sprokets because you lose your energy and forward momentum.

But what if you could shift your mindset AND get out of your own way?

WHAT IF you could make one simple change to get yourself back on track and reach the goals you set for yourself?

"You may not know what lies in the future when you opt for change, but trust your instincts when they tell you that you cannot stay where you are."

So you know something needs to shift or change in order for you to be happier, healthier, and live the life you dream of living but you don't know how to get there.   Tune in this week as authors from the soon to be released book "Healhty Thinking, Happy Life- Master Your Mindset To Get $#it done give you easy to do strategies to get back on track!

It's about creating options and opportunity. In this episode of healthy thinking happy life we'll talk about why mindset matters and how using your voice to make an impact.

Holiday Food- Holiday Stress- Holiday Burnout

Is it possible to get through this busy time of the year without the pressure of eating, saying or doing the right  or wrong thing? Absolutely!

We bring you another look at Happy Thinking, Healthy Life with simple and easy steps to pace yourself through the holidays in a way that puts you in control of you and how you respond to old triggers.  Oddly, we don't hear this enough:  you have more choice in your life than you are taught or led to believe.   If you can control your breath, you can control (AND CHANGE) your thoughts to live a happier and more positive life.

Who doesn't want a less stressful visit home for the holidays?  

Thoughts Become Things- says author Matthew Luccetti.  What you think about you bring about.  If you focus on the negative at the holidays, you'll only be able to see the negative. If you choose to shift your perspective and look through the positive and non-judgemental lens, you'll start to see your relatives, and situations in a different way.

You can guide and direct your personal wellness with the 3 steps of the Steiner Self Reflection model: observation, preparation and Recovery.   My guest Dr. Kate Steiner is confident she can help you create your own recovery formula when you start with observing how you feel when you are in stressful situations.

Gratitude for what we have is a beautiful and powerful way to create the life we want to have. As David George Brooke says, " Gratitude turns what you have into enough"

But giving to others in addition to being grateful can literally change the life of someone with less than you

Writing checks or giving cash is easy but giving your time and talent is often needed more.

This week we highlight  local food bank volunteers to help convey the ongoing need for donations and support.

Hear stories of how perspectives can shift when the scarcity of food no longer becomes a concern

This show is for you if you never worried about your next meal. It's for you if your situation makes food scarcity a thing you deal with on a daily basis.

You aren't alone.  Everyone can give a little to make our communities stronger and healthier.

Where is your energy and where are your thoughts right now? 

Right this minute, if you listed your top 10 priorities, how likely is it that YOU are on that list?

When was the last time you made yourself the number one priority and made time for YOU? 

If you can't remember, lets talk! (503) 317-8072!

Think about it. 

Everything for the kids goes on the calendar almost as immediately as you learn about them:  PTA, sporting events, swim and music lessons, fund raisers, practices, tutoring, and teacher conferences.

After the kids, work and spouse probably take precedent. Then come the house choresand family obligations.  I'll bet the dog, cat or hamster are probably higher on the list of things to care for than you are.

My friend Trish Campbell mentioned her work place shifted to a 4-day work week and that Friday's are now called "This Is Trish Day".   What an amazing concept:  dedicating one day a week to our own personal self care! 

It's true that a whole day of self care sounds luxurious. But how many of us actually block out any quantifiable time on the calendar at all?  It shouldn't be either or, and it doesn't have to be all or nothing.

We can't stop the the external demands on our time and energy, but we can choose how we reorganize the priority list and build in in some ways to pur ourselves first with soul feeding "ME TIME".  Squeezing in a bubble bath at the end of the day helps, but that method of self care often comes at the days' end when it's abut surviving for the next day.  Planning and protecting "ME TIME" on the calendar is a method to thrive not just survive.  We owe it to ourselves to make ourselves the highest priority, or at least as equitable in value to our jobs, spouses kids, and pets!

Don't wait for burnout or fatique to slow you down and pay attention to yourself! 

Today's show highlights easy to implement practices and methods to guiltlessly put yourself first so that you can serve others at a higher, more energized, engaged and purposeful way. 

Author Trish M. Campbell talks about her "Love Me" journey, that includes stepping away from trying to check all the boxes and putting others first.   We'll talk about her poetry that came from that journey that continues to feed her "LOVE ME" mission that empowers others to live, work and play with a sense of self and freedom.

Tune in to hear the inspiring words of a woman who chose to be her own advocate and live the authentic life she was meant to live.

As the leaves and temperature fall, nature intuitively turns inward and prepares to sustain itself through winter. Bears hibernate. Trees return energy and food to their underground root storage system.   Seeds and nuts are stored in the ground and birds migrate to a place where they can sustain life.

Energetically, it is a natural time for humans to follow nature's intuition and turn inward to create our own level of care and sustenance. 

The book trilogy Love Me, Love Me- Mediations, and Love - Poetry deepen the human experience and covers the topics of "unlearning"  and rediscovering.   Fall is a time to come back to the true nature of who we are and who we are meant to be and let go of the things that social structure has told us we need to be. 

Life, Careers, Family, School,  and all the systems that surround us often push us away from the truest and most authentic parts of our souls.   It's time to RETHINK and REFRAME who you really are. 

Are you living your life to the fullest?

Do You feel like something is missing?

What if it was as easy as creating a daily practice to awaken, discover and reconnect to your most vibrant and knowledgable self?

Today's show features authors T.M Campbell (Trish) and Robert T. Norton who share insights and techniques to connect to your inner you.   Your authentic inner most self has a message for you.  Are you listening?

We'll help you hear that voice, nurture that voice and leverage that knowledge so that you can living a happier, more balanced life- for the holidays, the new, year, and the rest of your life.

 Let Go of who you think you should be.  Start being who you are designed to be.

Let's face it- we ALL run into things that knock us down or off of our pathway to joy and happiness. 

It doesn't matter how prepared you think you are, $**t happens and sometimes it takes the wind out of our sails and keeps us from living the live we want to live.

So how do you make your way back to happy when feel depleted, numb and knocked down?

How do you break off relationships that don't move you forward?

Believe it or not, we have  more choice than we are lead to believe and more choice than we actually use.  

You have the ability to be the hero of your own story.  YOU have the ability to create options, and step back into your own power.  Your story is the root of your power.  It is the way to shift your dream into reality. 

Come join the conversation.  Learn how to shift relationships, perspectives and outcomes

“Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.”
― Nora Ephron

Are you caught up in the stuckery of life? 

Has your motivation taken a summer vacation and forgot to buy a return ticket?

It can be easy to lose our spark, our inspiration, or motivation, but it's even easier to get it back and light things up with your very own sparkle.   You have something very special and unique to you that the world needs!

We are all designed to shine in our own unique way,  but sometimes life events, our surroundings, and even family can dim out our light and our talents.  Getting L.I.T is about reconnecting to the ever present, internal spark we hold inside.  Our well being and sense of balance comes from that spark.  We need to shine for ourselves first, in order to shine outwardly for others.

How you shine and how you express yourself is so different than how everyone else shows up in their shine.  It's critical that we don't hide our light or let others diminish it or extinguish it. 

Tune in for a light hearted conversation about applying your shine so that you can feel joy, happiness, and live more freely the way you are meant to live, When you feel L.I.T.  others will too.
