Life could be a game

What if we took life a little less seriously?

We could play ‘Chain Reaction’ – the game of seeing what thoughts and actions on our part cause what to happen. When we don’t like the results we get to just press reset and start again. Did you know we could hit reset?

We can also play ‘Classic Concentration’ – the goal is for each person to get to their announced dream. Each person gets to choose their own special dream. Now the fun begins - who can concentrate and stay focused on their dream goal while all kinds of obstacles, stuff and detours are put in their way? Fun for all - laughing allowed.

Life can be fun if we focus on having fun. What other games are you playing?

With great love, Suzanne

Happiness is . . . . . .

Do you remember that old cartoon happiness is . . . . . .?

How would you fill in the blank?
How many things can you list?
Start now. Happiness is . . . . . .

My list is very long and joyful. Just thinking about it makes my day.
Did you think of your happiness is things yet?

Enjoy one today. Go ahead and do it or create it.

Our dreams are lived with one happiness moment at a time.

With great love, Suzanne

Be yourself

There should be no one else you would rather be.

We are just wasting energy if we are trying to be something or someone other than ourselves. It is best to be ourselves and share that with the world. We are each unique. We can enjoy our uniqueness.

We shine brightest when we allow our true selves to show through.

Be yourself and others will find joy when they are with you. We gravitate to authentic people.
Be the best you that you can be and enjoy life from this standpoint. You will find there is much to enjoy including your dreams.

With great love, Suzanne

Living a life of ease

Not everyone may be interested in living a life of ease but I am into it. I love adventure but not the stressful kind, the joyous kind.

It is my belief that life should be easy and joyous. Needless to say, I have a very easy and joyous life. Why do you think that is? It is because we tend to receive in life whatever we are focused on. Did someone say Law of Attraction here?

What are you focused on? What is important to you in life? What do you desire to see? Best we focus on those things don’t you think?

Now back to living a life of ease ….. If we think life will be easy – it will be easy. This is not rocket science. Life can be much simpler than that. All we have to do is try not to complicate it.

Let life flow – the easy way. What dreams are you living in your life of ease? Focus on them now and think easy, easy, easy. Ahh ……..

With great love, Suzanne

Life coaching, compassion and love

Sometimes, when we listen to our inner guide, we receive very clearly insights on ourselves and life. This is what I heard a few days ago.

I share with love and compassion because that that is who I am. I am me and you are you and we are perfect. Can you see your perfection? When I coach you, I can see your perfection and in so doing I see my own. We are both teachers. We are both on a glorious journey and I see great things for you. Want to know a secret? I always see great things for everyone I meet. I hold the perfection and treasure it with great love until you can see it too. Go forth and treasure this marvelous life because you are perfection.

What guidance are you receiving? Are you listening? Are you aware that you are perfection?

With great love, Suzanne

The Power of our Thoughts

Think a sad thought – how do you feel?
Think a happy thought – how do you feel?

And the feeling is instant! Even our physiology changes in an instant. We can feel the instant reaction in our face, even in our chest and in our breath. That is the power of our thoughts. We can see and feel the results of our focus.

Want to feel happy more often? Focus on happy thoughts. Let’s look for the positive and the bright side in everything. The Law of Attraction will help us by responding to our focus and giving us even more things to be happy about.

This does not mean that we will not still have some sad moments or that life will always appear rosy (in fact it is the knowledge of those that makes us appreciate our happy thoughts and moments more) but when we are aware of what we are thinking and how it affects us – we have the perfect opportunity to choose our focus. It is always a question of which thoughts feel better.

Being happy or not is our choice. It is our decision and it’s all in the power of our thoughts.
I always find it’s easier to live my dreams from a feeling happy place. How about you?

With great love, Suzanne

Change vs. the rut

Are you in a rut?

Do you end up doing the same things all the time? Are you predictable? Do you eat in the same places? Do you get up and go to bed at the same times?

Sometimes we can be perfectly content with sameness and routines but there is always value in shaking it up a little. Try changing direction – try doing something wild for a change.

Thinking about something differently, learning something different, doing something differently – it’s all good for us!

We can shake up our life like a bottle of soda and let our new enthusiasm spray everywhere.

Oh this is going to be very, very fun. By shaking things up, we may see dreams we never even saw before. Here is a new visual (think of the bottle of soda) shake, shake, shake – fun!

With great love, Suzanne

Take a break

I took a break. I went away on a four day holiday with my family. No blog, no writing, no computer, no cell phone, no emails, no clients, no calls. I came back and guess what? Everything is okay with my home and my businesses.

What were the benefits of my four days away? I found more joy in life itself, I found more peace in my life, and I became more centered. I rediscovered that my life is me! It is not created by others but by me! My deadlines are self imposed. My life is self created. My challenges and joys are self created.

I affirmed that I love what I do, I love what I teach and share as a life coach. You know what I really teach?

I teach people how to allow themselves to enjoy life. I teach people to focus on what is important for them. When we focus on that – magic happens in our lives.

So I practice what I preach. I took my break with my family because it was something that I really wanted to do and my rewards are already showing up in my life.

So when is the last time you really took a break? Take one. You’ll like it.
It is how dreams are made.

With great love, Suzanne

Everything is good!

How do you think life would feel if you walked around always thinking about, looking for and telling people “everything is good”?

My sister in law, Cynthia, has been uttering these words a lot and I believe it is something I will adopt. There obviously is a positive benefit to believing and looking for the good in everything.

Everything does serve us. We may not see it right away through our possible frustration but the benefit is always there. Give it time and it will show up. So uttering the words “Everything is good” ahead of time is a positive affirmation of our belief. The Universe loves this focus and will hasten to deliver our good life.

Who cares what came first? Everything is good!

With great love, Suzanne

Stress is optional

We create our own stress. I have decided that stress is optional and I am choosing not to participate.

You see, we can cause ourselves stress in several ways.

1. Worry – Why worry about something we have no control over or something we fear in our future when it may not even happen? If we have control over something, we don’t have to worry we can just take action. Living in the now moment helps stop worry.

2. Piling too much work on ourselves or allowing others to do so – haven’t you heard it never all gets done?

3. Allowing ourselves or others to pile guilt on us – guilt is based on the past. We can do whatever we can to right what happened and then learn from the experience so it does not happen again. That is the best we can do. It is more important that we live in the present.

All our stresses fall into one of these three categories. All these things are choices we make. We choose to worry or not. We choose whether we stress over work and we choose whether we allow ourselves to feel guilt or not. Stress is totally optional. We always have control over our focus.

By the way, when we choose to not participate in creating stress for ourselves, we do not have to participate in others stress either. Hmm, that’s a great side benefit.

With great love, Suzanne

Spring is here! Clean out the old thoughts

Is it time for some new and empowering thoughts? What thoughts are not empowering and serving you? We can clean them out and change them just like we would the clothes in our closets.

Let’s look at thoughts that have become beliefs. A belief is nothing more than a thought that we have thought a lot and simply because we think a thought a lot, it does not mean that it is true. Sometimes we may also absorb others thoughts and beliefs and take them as our own but that does not make them true either.

It is time to examine our thoughts. We can keep the ones we like and that serve us but it is time to toss out the others. Sometimes we can banish them simply by realizing we have them and then changing our mind. Other times we may have to slowly change the old beliefs to ones that are more and more empowering for us.

Checking on our thoughts and cleaning out those that no longer serve us can be rewarding on many levels. If you need any help just let me know. I love this kind of spring cleaning!

Amuse yourself with life

When we think about it, there are many things we can choose to be upset about or amused about in a given day. Which serves you better?

It’s okay to be amused with life because we do have a pretty wild and wacky world with some very interesting people. Think about the things that amuse you. Look throughout the day for things that amuse you. Make a list if inspired. I amuse myself all the time.

When you allow yourself to be amused with life you walk around with a big smile on more of the time. It feels good. Allow yourself to feel amused today.

With great love, Suzanne

Do it in joy

How much more pleasurable would life be if we did all our actions in joy?
We can probably find the joy in anything if we place our focus on looking for it.

We can feel joy easily when we love doing the activity and we can even find joy when we love the person we are doing it for. We can find joy if we love the end result of our action too. There are many ways to find the joy in any activity including perhaps just being in the moment.

Imagine how much closer finding the joy in the things we do brings us to all our dreams.
Close? We will probably find ourselves living some joyful dreams right away!
Do everything in joy. It can make your day and change your world.

With great love, Suzanne

Pleasant thoughts

We always have control over our thoughts. No one can think for us right? Does it make sense that it is in our best interest to fill our minds with pleasant thoughts? Pleasant thoughts can lead us to a better life. It’s the Law of Attraction at work again.

We may not have control over everything that happens around us but we do have control of our focus and our thoughts about it all. Plus our focus really does play a role on what we see happening around us.

Maybe we could write ourselves a list of all the pleasant thoughts we have. Reading, rereading and adding constantly to this list will help us focus on pleasant and positive thoughts. It’s all about focus isn’t it?

May you enjoy focusing on all your pleasant thoughts because pleasant thoughts can make dreams come alive!

With great love, Suzanne

Let's dance with life

What if we treat life like it is a beautiful dance? We can weave in and out of each other’s lives touching for brief or extended moments.

What if we flow, twirl, boogie, spin, and float through life? Would that be fun?
Life is supposed to be fun you know.

Here we go - flowing, twirling, boogieing, spinning, and floating.
We can salsa, samba, waltz, jive . . . What is your pleasure at any given moment in time?
Go ahead and try the different movements.
I was just walking like an Egyptian (Oops did I just age myself?). Fun.

Our dreams may be easier to live if we can feel like we are dancing with life.

Every day may you enjoy the dance of your life.

With great love, Suzanne

Finding inner peace

Would finding some inner peace make a difference in your life right now?

Finding inner peace may seem tricky because we cannot find our inner peace from other people or outside sources and we have been taught to look outside of ourselves for many things. However to find our inner peace we must look within, so how do we go about that?

It’s all about our focus again. Let’s use an acronym for finding our inner peace that may help.

P = Perfection – Whatever is . . . is perfect. Trust it. That eases stress.
E = Expect Ease – Develop a knowing that there is ease in life and in how we do things.
A = Attitude – Keep a positive focus. There is an upside to everything.
C = Creating Calm – Breathing helps here.
E = Energy – is what we find with inner peace. Instead of being drained, we are revitalized.

Finding our inner peace can help us realize our dreams are closer than we may have thought.
Now that is another thought that brings peace. Hmm, is it another circle perhaps? Finding inner peace leads to more peace in our lives?

With great love, Suzanne

How do you dazzle yourself?

Maybe you want to dazzle other people but I think first it is important we dazzle ourselves.
What do you love about yourself? Is there something about your personality, your skill set or your looks that you love? Is there more than one thing about you that can dazzle you? Wow, now we are loving and dazzling ourselves!

How can you accentuate those things that you love about yourself and are proud of? How can you thoroughly enjoy them? Now how can you go forth and show these attributes to the world? Be true to yourself and dazzle yourself first and then you will dazzle the world.

PS. Spotlights, sparkly clothing and fan fare are optional.

Limiting beliefs can hit the road

Boy we really become attached to our beliefs don’t we? Whether they are good for us or not, whether we like them or not, we really seem to try to keep them. Maybe it is an ego thing to prove we must be right. Whatever it is we want to hold on to those suckers. They are our beliefs and we want to claim ownership. It is like they are our security. We will often even fight to keep them. Wow do they ever seem powerful.

But we are more powerful. We can choose to change those beliefs any time we feel like it. We just need to see that whatever we are thinking or saying is belief. If we really like it - good we can keep it. However, if we don’t like it and how it makes us feel - then we can consciously decide to replace it. We are always free to replace old beliefs with new ones anytime we choose. It is in our power.

Do you want to shake things up? Do you want to take back your power? Here is an idea - write down an old belief that no longer serves you (so it is very clear in black and white) and then write down the new belief that you choose to replace that old, non serving belief. Is what you have written for a new belief believable to you? If not, adjust it until it is. Now focus on your new belief and you will automatically end up looking for the proof that you are again right.

Go ahead shake off those limiting beliefs. Do you really want to fight to protect those? I’m reminded of the song: Hit the road jack and don’t you come back no more – no more. Like the suit of black goo in Spiderman 3. It has to come off so we can live a better life.

Bye, bye limiting beliefs – you serve me no longer. Now let’s focus on those dreams shall we?

With great love, Suzanne
