Watch your language

Image
Do you ever notice the language that people choose.....I've started to notice my own language. Even though I'm a fun happy person(deal with it), my language isn't always congruent with my feelings inside. maybe I find it easier to start conversations with people when we talk about something that is wrong and not working. I think the words we choose and the conversations we engage in can really have an impact on us. Our language can either empower or disempower us. I know when I'm talking to a positive person because they don't complain, they don't engage in pity parties and they aren't bored. If you don't want to be bored, don't be boring (or is it the other way around). I personally find myself complaining just out of habit because someone is there to listen to me although I know how draining it can be. Here are 3 tips that you can use to help you get out of the habit of using disempowering language. Observe others language - don't

What are your Passions?

I visited my sister-in-law the other day and she was showing my daughters and I all her spectacular gardens. She is a very creative and gifted gardener and it was a real pleasure to tour the gardens and listen to her tips and knowledge that she shared with us about all the planting she had done. As we were strolling around I immediately felt wonderful inside knowing that this was her passion. It comes easily and naturally to her. This is her creative outlet. Lots of people paint, some people golf, many read books, Some love to bake. There is an 86 year old woman in our church. She loves to bake and cook. She shares her recipes and her food is delicious. Her energy is outstanding when she is talking about it. I know there are still so many people out there who have no clue what their passions are. Here are some of my clues about finding your passion. Your passion is generally something you are good at. We always enjoy things we do well. What do you do really well? What come

Life Lessons

Usually the lessons we've learned are mistakes we've made over and over again until it finally sinks in one day. That's what happens with me. Once you learn the lesson then you never repeat it again and if you do you are able to recognize it right away. Here are 10 Lessons I want to share with you. Perhaps you can learn from them as well. Lesson #1 The truth will set you free. Honesty, as scary and uncomfortable as it can be at times is always the best way to go. Even if you think the person can't handle it. Even if you think you are protecting them by not telling them the truth. People want the truth. Lesson #2 Never try and tell someone how they should feel. I believe this is what causes many arguments in relationships. The other day I had a silly argument with my sister who I adore. It escalated because she tried to tell me how I should feel. This has happened to me so many times before and I have done the same thing. I have finally learned the lesson. P

Joy Journey

My purpose is to inspire and encourage people to live happier lives by connecting to the power within themselves to create more joy, abundance and love. I have transformed the dsyfunction of my past. Do you see struggle? I do-everywhere! If people could stand in their power and realize they have the ability to change their circumstances this world would literally be transformed. To recognize that what is holding us back is just a limiting belief we've bought in to. It's all about the 90/10 rule. Happiness is 10 percent of what happens to you and 90 percent how you respond to it. I really needed a kick in the butt myself. I struggled for many years. I still have days, although very rare where I feel overwhelmed. I knew my life wasn't suppose to be struggle struggle. What I didn't realize for many years was that I had the power to create a different reality. My ego and feelings of inadequacy kept me paralyzed from doing anything I wanted to do. I had a "monkey m

Selling is really quite simple and not nearly as scary as some people think. You get a list together of why your service or product is of value to your prospect and be willing to promote it. What’s in it for them? How are you going to make their life wonderful? Many people think about telemarketing and all those annoying calls you get at home when they think about selling products or services. It can be lawn maintenance, newspapers or carpet cleaning or just about anything else that you might find annoying to talk about after a full day of work. Usually the calls happen on your way out the door or when your in middle of something like making or eating dinner. Someone could be visiting or you could be relaxing for 5 minutes. I had a telemarketer call me the other day to sell me some magazines from McLeans. He was offering such and such and this and that and blah blah blah and I finally I had to interrupt him, "I’m sorry I’m not interested." what he said next sur
