How to Have an Awesome Life by CHOOSING Fully Alive

Yes, you can have an awesome Fully Alive life. You may have doubted it up to this point, but trust me, you can have it! In fact, anyone can!

There’s just one teensy-weeny little catch… you have to choose it.

choose, fully alive, awesome, life, fulfilled, satisfied, self-help

It gets back to my whole Signýficant Living framework: Be, Choose, Live.

At a Crossroads

You know on a Monday morning when that alarm clock goes off and you’re forced to be awake when that is the absolute last thing that you want to do? So you roll over, hit the snooze once, twice… You squeeze all that you can from those last moments of sleep, getting in as many extra zzz’s as you possibly can.

Well, sometimes life is a bit like that too. Things happen that push us to the awake stage right when we least want it. Health concerns, a relationship ending, difficulties at work, a friend pointing out your flaws or maybe a death of someone in your circle. These are all life’s little wake up calls. But then once we’re awake, we have a choice to make: just press snooze again or jump out of bed? Read More >>>

How to CHOOSE Your Battles

The theme this month is resilience. Resiliency is that elasticity that allows us to bounce back after a trying time. By experiencing our emotions more intensely, we have the ability to recover faster.

After reading that last post, you may have found yourself thinking, “If I’m working through the emotions of every problem that comes my way, I won’t have time for anything else!” Fair enough! (Not to mention that it would be exhausting!)

Choose wisely. Pick the things that will make the most difference. Read More >>>

Choose Fully Alive

Tonight (or Oct 21st, if you read this on a different day than I wrote it), I am speaking at Living Extraordinary. I am totally excited to be with a group of amazing speakers, sold out house and the magic that Kate and Conscious Divas creates.

AND.

I am nervous. Which is funny to me, because I love this stuff, and it’s not like I haven’t worked to groups this size, frequently. And it is only 7 minutes … hell, I could fill that just by introducing myself. And still nervous.

Here is what I think is going on. It represents something bigger for me. This night, this act, represents me stepping out into my bigger life. And so the fear is bigger than just speaking (which is fun for me). It is about being seen, it is about letting myself shine, it is about being fully me for all to see. It’s vulnerable and it’s scary shit no matter what. As humans we are wired to not do that, except that doing that is what makes us feel fully alive. It is what reminds us about who we really are, and what makes our hearts pound.

I, for one, have been craving that. As an expert in my chosen field it is so easy to go to sleep at the wheel. To be the sage on the stage, doing what I know. But that is not what I am up to in this life. Like many of you, I am here to stretch myself and grow and try new things. Even when they make me feel like I might barf.

So today, in celebration of breast cancer awareness month, and of being alive, I am choosing FULLY alive. I am choosing to do something that scares me, I am choosing to stretch, and I am choosing to cross the threshold into a new life and a new way of being.

Who wants to join me?

And what does that look like for you?

Please inspire us all by sharing that thing that stretches you, scares you and you know is your next powerful step!!

What do you need to Choose Differently?

Today we’re talking about Choosing Differently.

Every single minute of every single day, you are choosing. What are some of the choices you need to slow down on?

I’m hoping to inspire you with my stories on choosing differently… from dating to not getting a job!

What are you CHOOSING?

Last week I promised some thinking on this, the next element of Signýficant Living, CHOOSE.

Choose seems pretty simple. It’s defined as: to select by preference, the best or most appropriate, from a number of possibilities.

In this definition what I dig the most is that it’s about preference. What you most prefer. Picking what works best for YOU. Because that’s what choosing should be all about.

What I’m talking about, in Signýficant Living (which you will recall is to consciously and fearlessly choose to live a life of meaning, passion and purpose) is both the way you choose and what you choose. I am talking about the decision to choose IN, to choose life, to choose to be wide-awake and as present as you can be, to choose to live every moment of your life FULLY.

Clearly, that is a radical act.
