Are you feeling overwhelmed and would you like to have more peace in your life? Overwhelm simply means the feeling of not having enough time to accomplish what we would like to achieve.

This is what you can do. First, pause for a moment and take a deep breathe. Get your mind calmed down so you can think more clearly.

When you are in a more relaxed mental state you ask yourself, “What is the most important thing for me to do next?” When your intuition tells you the answer, you give that 100% of your attention.

We overwhelm ourselves by holding in our minds the ten things we need to get done. Don’t overwhelm yourself with EVERYTHING just focus on the next step. You can’t develop your entire website in a day, but you can simply create the domain name. Take baby steps and get there bit by bit. The greatest things are created one step at a time.

Make your to-do list, but decide the top item to focus on and let the others go until that specific item is complete.  I also highly recommend putting your phone on airplane mode and only check it between each completed task.

Keep taking those little-bitty steps each day. Focusing on one thing at a time. You will find peace, get rid of that overwhelm and your life will be much better.

There is an answer to every question and a solution to every problem.

The key is asking those empowering questions to find out what the Universe can bring to you.

This is what I suggest to my clients:

Get a three by five card and write down the question you would like to have answered. Be specific and clear.

"What's the next step in the direction of my dream?"

"Where is my workout CD?"

I use this second example because I had a client who wanted to improve her health. She wanted to find her workout CD because it had been effective before and she was going to do it again. So that was her question - Where is my workout CD?

Well, a couple days later, her daughter and her husband came up to her and suggested they all join a gym and hold each other accountable. She shrugged it off because it wasn't her CD.

The second tap on her shoulder was from her pastor. She went to church. And he actually said, "When you're working out, it's so important to find somebody that can keep you accountable."

At that point in her husband looked at her and said, "Maybe that's your sign!" But still, she was stubborn and said, I want to find my CD!

When we met that week, she said, "My question was not answered."

So, we broke it down.

What were you trying to accomplish?

Well, I want to get healthier.

Great! Were there any clues that you came into your life this past week?

She told me about the gym membership, the pastor and her husband.

I helped her to realize that doing the gym with her daughter and her husband not only affected her health (that she wanted to improve), but it also affected her relationship with her teenage daughter who was pulling away. Part of her vision was to reconnect with her.

You think your way is the only way...but the Universe has better ideas.

Keep your hand open to the answers to the questions that you are seeking. Because something even better can come.

Stay aware to those answers and those ideas.

Peace & blessings,

Martin Luther King Jr. said, "I have a dream."

We all have a dream—that vision of a life that we would love to be living. I want to encourage you to step into that dream to give it energy to make it come alive.

What's a step that you can do?

Write your vision statement.

There are four areas to envision:

• Health
• Relationships
• Vocation or creative endeavor
• Time and money freedom.

Dive into these and write your vision for each. Think about what you would truly love because you don't know how to get there if you don't start writing it down.

That's a step that you can take today.

If you have not written a vision of the life you would love to live, write it today!

If you already have your vision, read it often.

If you want some help completing or expanding your vision, I would love to help. Sign up for a free strategy session using SEPTFREE coupon code. Or you can reach out to me by email. I'm glad to assist you in anyway I can.

Always remember...ANYTHING is POSSIBLE. Think big. Dream bigger. Start creating a life you love living today.

How do you tell the universe that you mean business?

You make a decision.

It doesn't matter how small or large it is. The point is you're giving energy to it. You're telling the universe, "I mean business."

Make that phone call that will take 30 seconds (especially if it feels scary!)

Invest in yourself, if that's what you're supposed to do.

You know the next step, but you have to reach out of your comfort zone because that is where the magic happens.

Ingrid Did It

My client Ingrid reached out of her comfort zone.

She signed up for coaching. And the next day she got a book deal.

What was her dream? She wanted to have a business being a professional translator. When she made that decision, she gave energy to her dream. 

Here's what she said about her experience: 

You Can Do It, Too

Tell the universe you mean business.

Make a decision today and get one step closer to a life that you love living.
