So many of my students and coaching clients tell me that it is so hard to reach their goals because they can't stay motivated, or that they lack the discipline to see them through. Here's a video on why 100% motivation and discipline aren't really the keys to your success.

Your Monday Motivation is here, with why we DON’T all have the same 24 hours, why that’s a good thing, and why your unique journey is worth celebrating.
Have a great day, a great week, and if you’d like to add a bit of fun to your wellness, feel free to join me Tuesday and...

Happy Labour Day! To some, this is a holiday, to others a work day, and to still others, a day to get ready for back-to-school, if it already hasn't happened. yet.

But what's the big deal, anyway? What does Labour day even mean? 

Labour Day was started in the 1800's as a way for the "working...

Falling.

Failing.

It hurts.

It sucks.

We avoid it at all costs - after all, we were taught that in school, if we fail a test, or fall off the monkey bars, we're not going to pass our classes, we're going to be laughed at, we aren't going to be "cool", or "rich" or, "successful".

Here's the thing:

It's ok to let it out.

It's ok to cry, howl,...

Welcome to a new month, new week and new Monday!

This week will go the way you want it to - you have a choice to follow the flow or create your own reality.

What I mean is this: whatever happens, you have the choice in how you react to it. You can take any event - positive or negative - and look...

Today, take a moment to connect to the Earth.

You know, that big, blue ball that floats through space?

The one we live on, but don't always give a second thought to?

Sit for a moment, finding your comfortable seat, so that you are sturdy and grounded.

Relax your shoulders away from your ears.

We've all been there. 

We know what we *have* to do.

Maybe we even *want* to do it.

But we get caught up in the "how's", "why's", "what-if's", "when's".
