Bored on the playground…

“Here I am… sitting at the playground with my kids again.”

Someone I ran into who is friends with me on FB said this to me the other day. She was telling me how inspiring my pics are of all the adventures and fun we have are, while she sits bored on the playground.

And it got me thinking today…

I’m no different to you. I have bucketloads of responsibilities and “stuff”.

I am a mother of two rambunctious, loud, screaming kids who love and fight each other all day long.

I am a wife to a hard working, fitness addicted, food anal hubby that needs looking after.

I am an entrepreneur who has to overcome my own fears, challenges, limitations every day to show up and be real, vulnerable and fully authentically ME online.

I have a house that runs 2 businesses from it and has kids home all day long right now over the summer.

I am a woman who faces the same adversities that other women face…

I am a daughter.

I am a person who is overcoming a lifetime battle with emotional and binge eating.

I am a person who has fallen in love with my gymnastics based training. It pushes me out of my comfort zone EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I am a person who yells and gets cranky with those closest to me. YES… I have a don’t fu#k with me face.

I am a person who loves my kids to the ends of the galaxies… and wishes and prays for quiet time alone most days.

I am a person who feels sad and anxious sometimes.

I am a person who feels so overjoyed, grateful, and ecstatic that I just can’t contain it.

I fight with my hubby. AND I love him SO dearly.

The list goes on and on…

But I’m sure you get what I’m saying.

I’M HUMAN.

We are all humans with the same 24 hours in a day. The same blood, heart, brain, etc… keeping us alive.

What we do in this body and with this gift of time we have been given is up to us.

I KNOW… I have spent countless hours at playgrounds with my kids. It’s part of the joys of parenthood, really.

Every day, my life isn’t spent on some adventurous place… but I treat it as if it is.

I can do the most mundane thing… and make it like an epic adventure.

I can spend my time dreaming up adventures and so it feels like i’m living it already.

I CHOOSE to spend time playing with my kids, crafting, handstands, bike riding… They aren’t the only ones that get to PLAY and have FUN!

As adults, so many people forget their creative spark. They watch their kids have fun and don’t allow themselves to PLAY HARD too.

I used to watch jealous of my kids and hubby having this spark. I wanted to play, but I MADE myself believe that I had to WORK. I had to CLEAN. i had to DO THE THINGS, whatever those stupid things are. Don’t get me wrong… those things have to get done, still, but not at the expense of never having fun and letting my creative spark die. NO WAY. Not anymore.

It’s all a CHOICE.

Choose that you want more then being bored at the park.

Choose that you want to engage in life and make it the most EPIC adventure.

Choose that you want to dream wild dreams and make them come true. AND no… these dreams don’t have to be as wild as mine. Whatever it is for you, is perfect.

The first time I painted in my shamanic training about 3 years ago… I nearly cried. In my training, we created a chakra map. So we would journey to see a clear and healthy chakra centre and come back and paint it.

I was so upset and scared that I would RUIN IT. I would RUIN what I was crafting. It stopped me dead in my tracks and my teacher had to coach me into being ok to paint. Being ok to allow it to flow and I COULDN’T fu#k it up. It took probably a year of LOTS of creative expression before I stopped giving my teacher the evil eye for MAKING ME paint, draw, collage, whatever it was that I was going to RUIN. This continued into my CREATIVE EXPRESSION and leadership DIPLOMA. I mean my teacher would laugh at me saying… you do know what you signed up for, right?

Of course I did… cause I knew in my soul that I had to overcome this stuff around my whole creative spark being DEAD and afraid to RUIN my expression. I mean looking back… and what I NOW can teach to others is… it’s just not possible to ruin your creative expression.

Eventually… I just surrendered to the process.

I may make this “look easy”. I may take life by the horns and charge… I may create big dreams and DARE to make them happen.

But it is because I choose it.
I choose to wake up every day and become an even better version of myself.
I choose to wake up and work on my mindset.
I choose to wake up and dare to dream big dreams.
i choose to believe that EVERYTHING I DESIRE is 100% possible to create.

I CHOOSE THIS.

It’s not by coincidence that amazing things show up in my world. I work on myself. And I choose it.

I take responsibility for my life and for my actions.

And if you want an epic life on your terms… you too can have it.

But first it starts in the mind.

And in doing the things you do EVERY SINGLE DAY. And making that an epic adventure.

Some of our family adventures and most fun happen in our backyard or laughing riding around the lake across the street or in the basement doing gymnastics…

Start by taking even the mundane moments in life and creating FUN and EPIC moments in that. Find laughter, joy, bliss, fun, excitement, wonder, innocence in the every day moments. And from there… create the more EPIC ones.

Because the more that you FEEL your life being an EPIC life on your terms… The more you will bring in and create that. Cause how could you not?

With love and a taste of adventure for your epic life…

Remember… follow your heart and create your dreams.

PS- Are you ready to SHINE?

Do you KNOW you are born for more?

Are you feeling slightly off course?

You KNOW… you are SO CLOSE to the life you desire. You have left the job, started the business and you are working it, but something just doesn’t feel right.

It’s like you can taste it, but not put your finger on it.

It’s just not 100% aligned.

Let’s change that.

So often people start their business because it seems like the right things at the time… you talk to a coach who teaches you some system that worked for them and you go off and running with it. And it does ok. You even make money from it, but in your soul… you know it’s not the right way. THe right thing for you.

And you keep going because that’s what the successful person you are following TOLD YOU to do.

But you know there is more to this. You know it can be “easier”. You know… you know… you know.

And so that’s where this “4 weeks to shine” comes in.

Our first week is actually taking a deep dive into you… and bringing back what you need to know from your heart.

It’s not my job to tell you what is right for you. It’s your job to echoic in with your own heart and soul and find it for yourself.

And it’s my PLEASURE…. my absolute JOY to guide you there.

From there we look at how this all comes together in your mindset, your lifestyle, your business.

You CANNOT separate yourself out of your business. And please for the love of YOURSELF… don’t let anyone tell you that you have to work so hard you burn out. You have to put your health aside to be successful… because that alley… that path… plain and simply SUCKS.

The more you look after YOU, the better YOU are and the more your business will grow. YES. it gets to work that way. YES!

So… if you want to play… if you want to create a business and lifestyle totally aligned to YOU…

Then be in touch, please.

There are a few hours left to join this amazing program and get a BONUS 30 minute session with ME, yours truly. That alone is worth the cost of the training, if you ask me. 🙂

This special is done at 9a CST Thursday 6 July.

Hit reply to email back for more info.

Don’t be afraid to step into your dreams, to create the EPIC LIFESTYLE you have always dreamed of.

Allow yourself to surrender into what you know to be true.

You are BORN TO SHINE.
