YOU Are in Control

by Leave a Comment

Happy ‘I am in Control’ Day!  I’m sending you a quick message of encouragement and empowerment!

When we live life knowing we are in control, we are putting our crowns back on our head, standing tall and stepping into our power.

You are so very powerful!

 

How to Build Positivity Resilience

by Leave a Comment

A positive mindset seems like a pony ride sometimes.  You know, the carousel ride. We have our ups and downs and around and arounds.

Sometimes we even fall off the horse, and that is okay!

Maurey: “So what do we do when we fall off the horse?”
Zoolander: ” I don’t know Maurey, I’m not a gymnast!”

Ha!  It doesn’t matter if you’ve seen that scene in Zoolander before, we all know the answer… we get back on!  That is building resilience!

Our brains are hardwired from birth to lean towards the negative, BUT we can retrain or rewire our brain with intentional exercises.

Here’s a strategy or exercise I use for myself, clients and even my kiddos to pivot towards the positive aspects around any situation!

In any situation that provokes negative thoughts or heavy emotions, Ask yourself, “What is the opportunity right now?” “How can I take advantage of this situation and make something good of it?”

 

This helps shift your mindset from negative to positive.  You move from focusing on what you don’t have to what you have available to you.

Opportunities surround you, every moment of every day! Get intentional about looking for them. Like a game of hide and seek!

I AM STATEMENTS:
“I AM SURROUNDED BY OPPORTUNITY.
“I AM OPEN TO EXPLORING WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO ME. “

Here are some examples:

  • When my Dad was in an accident 15 years ago and we didn’t know if he was going to life or die, we had the opportunity to find joy in the little things.
  • What if your weight loss goals are not going as fast as you would like.  Take the opportunity to turn around and look back to see how far you’ve come!
  • Any personal or professional relationships not so hot right now?  That’s a great opportunity for you to discover some hidden limiting beliefs!

I hope your week is plentiful with opportunities both big and tiny! Both are equally important.

Positively Resilient,
Erika

Day 2 – Off Set Distractions

by Leave a Comment

Welcome to Day 2 of your 5 Day FOCUS Challenge!

As you can imagine, there are many different ways to offset distractions to increase focus.  But I have one in particular that is simple and gives us power with a pause.

Are you ready?  This one may make you gasp, but hey, you are here to be a little challenged right?

Remove all but 3 of your most important apps from the home screen on your phone.

Whoa… you okay?  Did you pass out?

  • This will give you a moment to pause as you swipe.  That pause if POWERFUL because it gives you time to refocus and question yourself on the intention of heading to the app you are lookin for.
  • You’ll eventually stop looking at your phone so much!
  • This will also remove clutter!  Why remove clutter… because external clutter will clutter the mind.  A cluttered mind is a huge distraction.

So are you ready?  I know this is a big leap of faith and trust in me and yourself.

You got this!  Tomorrow I will lead you through a powerful and quick exercise to help you find clarity in any moment and task!
