Inspired Musings
Many times in our daily life we can’t control what happens. This was one of those situations. There was nothing I could do but sit in the line up of cars. What I could control was how I reacted. I had a choice:
Get frustrated and mad
Or
Settling in and enjoy some tunes and the amazing landscape.
So I chose to be in the moment to what is.

Where, I am here to support high achieving midlife women and men rethink the Imposter ways of being that have and are ineffectively driving their careers, relationships and lives, to awaken to their inner leadership to redefine who they need to be and how they perform to birth rich inner fulfillment that meets their outer success.

Willing away time passively lost in your thoughts.
Your brain likes to make up a whole bunch of crap to keep you entangled.
Be focused, not idle
The idle mind lends to being stuck, defeated, unmotivated and full of fear.
Pay attention to your thoughts, notice that the judgements and justifications, particularly toward yourself, are dime a dozen.

But here is the other thing.
It's not the fear of the external event that has you stuck. And if left unaddressed, that fear will be knockin at the next level.
What has you stuck is the fear that the belief you have been championing in your mind is true.
I know many people who intuitively succeed. They seem to go from here to there seamlessly. How is that?
Have you ever wondered what the keys to YOUR success are?
The energy of abundance fuels and directs every breath you breathe into realizing your vision. When you embody abundance you open pathways to bringing your dreams to life.

Read MoreAs I laid my head on the pillow, I could feel the pull of sweet slumber. A few breaths, and then I felt a tinge, and then a niggle, of angst.
There was a time I would have settled into a few hours of mind-spinning, unhealthy thought-confirming mental acrobatics around this angst and the story I would create about it.
Through a practice of mindful presence, I now know that peace in life and fulfilled sleep will be elusive until I unpacked the issue and sit (in this case — lay) with the emotion underneath it.
With a few deep breaths, I asked the angst, “what is this about?” It took only a moment to surface. Earlier in the day, a colleague from a common group shared that the leadership was inviting them to explore a business opportunity. “Ok, there it is” I told myself, “their success is not your failure.” I rationalized, “I’m happy for them and the opportunity in front of them,” and I was.
