Spring into Action

 

Coach Carla

Wishing you a Happy Spring.  Choose a fresh start on all of your goals and dreams as the bulbs are pushing through the ground and the buds are popping off of branches.  I have written my intentions as if they are a letter to a dear friend sharing the wonderful updates in my life.  I invite you to do the same.  Write a story as if it has already happened. Share your joy and passion and watch how you future unfolds in kind.

Delegate to the Universe

I called a friend yesterday, that I have not spoken to in several months, but think of her often.  She told me, reluctantly, (so as not to offend me) that I was on her "to-do" list to call that day. 
That was awesome!  We are all connected.  She wanted to reach out to me, I wanted to reach out to her and it happened effortlessly for her, and joyfully for me.  Keep putting your intentions out into the Universe and watch as they manifest before you.

Imagine it Unfolding

What do you want to do, be, or have?
Can you feel what it would feel like?
Can you see it in your mind's eye?
Imagine it unfolding.
It will come to you.

The Present is Perfect

It may not always seem that way, but all you have is now.  You cannot un-do the past.  When it comes to your future, you can influence it with your thoughts, feelings, and visualizations.  Often fear interrupts the beauty of that process of creating your future. 
So for today, be present.  Accept what is as perfect.  It is part of your life's journey.
It's Now O'Clock.  Be here.

Synchronicity and Perfect Moments

I notice synchronistic moments on a regular basis.  You can too.  Keep your eyes open and notice that something you just thought of has appeared in front of you.  Or someone you were just wondering about is brought up in conversation by a friend.  

Yesterday, I watched "Date Night" with my daughter.  Will.I.Am was in the movie and there was a funny scene discussing him.  Then I opened an "Allure"  magazine that comes to me without my having subscribed.  In the back is a picture of Will.I.Am.
(No offense Will, but I had never heard of you before.  That's about me being un-cool, not you.)
Then I see you twice in 12 hours.  
This speaks to what we are aware of, grows. Like attracts Like.
Also, it's synchronistic.  And synchronicity means, to me, that I am in the right place at the right time.  
You are too!

Make a Vision Board

When you see images of what you want to have and experience, your brain responds in an effort to find those things for you.

First take time to truly identify what it is you want to achieve and how you will feel when you have done so.  What new things would you like?  What types of relationships?  Career changes? Home and lifestyle?
 
Take time this weekend to cut out from catalogs or browse the web and identify and gather images of people, places and things.
Put these together on a foam board.  Add inspiring words if you like.  You have got your Vision Board.  Keep it Simple.   Just Do It.

See it, Feel it, Be it

When you can see yourself having what you want, and feel the feelings of having "it,"you are on your way to BEING it!
See it.
Feel it.
Couple these with action.
Be it.

Step Forward

Take baby steps toward your desired outcome.  Step forward into your life.  Allow yourself to shine!  The world needs your light.

Raise your energy to Joy

The official "season of joy" has come to a close.  But there is still time for daily snippets of joy in your life.  Depending upon how nature appears to you, examine a sparkling snowflake, or inhale the fragrance of a flower.  Gaze at your child, hug your pet. There are endless opportunities to notice joy in your day, as long as you take the action step to have the experience.  Find joy with baby-steps.

Goals Vs. Intentions

Goals are good for some people.  

For others they feel like a trap and a constant reminder that they are failing.  

An intention is powered by choice and lacks the "should" component of a goal.

What to you intend to achieve this year?  How will you feel when you have achieved it?

Wishing You a Serene 2015!

According to Merriam Webster, serene is defined as:

a :  clear and free of storms or unpleasant change <serene skies>

b :  shining bright and steady <the moon, serene in glory — Alexander Pope>

How does this definition resonate with you?

 Being Shiny and Bright is who I want to be!

Giving and Accepting

It is the season for gift giving.  How gracious are you at receiving?  Can you get comfortable accepting a gift without having a gift in return for the giver?  Can you feel that the gifts you give are good enough?
Look at giving and accepting as if you are looking at yourself in the mirror.  How can you be different and feel even better?

Stay In Action

Reach.  As if for a light switch in the dark.

You just cannot see it now.  

Stay connected to your intuition and stay in action and you will see your dream come true.  It may not arrive just as you imagined, but you will recognize the feeling that you have been longing to experience.

Nothing more needs to be said.  Enjoy it!

Happiness is a Choice

Choosing happiness requires being aware of your emotions and your thoughts.  There is always a way to ratchet your happiness factor up a notch.
Use a 0-10 scale and evaluate how happy you are in this moment.
Now grab a thought - it can be a memory, it can be something you observe in your present moment, or it can be a visualization of your future.  Fill yourself up with that thought and take your happiness level up a notch.  You can do it!

Release the Shoulds and Choose

Freedom of choice.  It's a global concept.  I'd like you to internalize the concept of freedom of choice today.  Pay attention to your thoughts and decisions.
When do you decide to take an action becasue you think you "should?"
What if chose to another action?  One that was in alignment with your core values?
Choose to please you today and release the burden of "shoulds."

Giving Tuesday

Tuesday, December 2nd is Giving Tuesday.  Rather than consume, how can you give back on this day?

• Do you owe an old friend a phone call?
• Can you extend a kindness to a stranger?
• Can you assume an attitude of gratitude for all that you already have?

Let’s create a global shift in energy together – from consuming, to giving.  We can do it!

“It’s your mind that creates this world.”  The Buddha
