Pretty juicy right? So, if you tend to say “everything’s fine” when describing aspects of your life, I’m sharing 7 fabulous and easy ways to improve your life as a whole starting today! It’s all about activating your FEMININE POWER – let’s dive in.

7 Ways To Immediately Improve Your Life

1. Trust Your Gut: Your feminine intuition is the most powerful resource you have. Did you know that following your intuition is the foundation for consciously designing your life? Intuition is that hunch you get… a gut feeling or as I refer to it… my “ inner knowing.” Connecting and listening to your intuition is a skill to hone and master. For some women, trusting their intuition is really hard to do, they experience excessive mind chatter, second guess themselves and find themselves in a state of overwhelm when faced with decisions. Overwhelm leads to inertia, aka – doing nothing. To get your intuition chops sharpened I recommend you start by choosing to simply listen to your intuition. Yup, it’s a choice. Even if you’re unsure, listen to your inner knowing and simply go with it. Believe it or not, you already have your best life or business answer inside of you… so check in with yourself!
2. Show Up In Your Life: Do you expend boatloads of energy avoiding your life rather than showing up for it? Do you procrastinate, put crap off until tomorrow, scroll on Facebook or pin on Pinterest, yap on the phone about really insignificant shit or watch hours of TV instead of being fully present and taking aligned action towards your life’s big vision? That really needs to change. Begin showing up in your life … in small or big ways … it really doesn’t matter; the point is to show up. When you show up in your life, you build a deep sense of self-confidence and which allows you to play a bigger role in your life, your biz and in the world.
3. Allow Yourself To Receive: Women are awesome at giving but suck at receiving. As a matter of fact, I was recently corrected about this very thing at a business retreat. I kept diverting a compliment about how beautiful my website was by saying “I have an amazing designers”. My goddess posse called me out on that crap in two seconds flat. They told me “ Lisa, you had tons of input on the website too, so … say “Thank you, my designers and I worked very hard on it together”. *oops – it happens to the best of us sometimes* Open yourself to fully accept what others offer to you, in all ways; you deserve it. Accept compliments, gifts, and help when others extend those gifts to you. All you have to do is simply say, “Thank you.” When you begin to receive you experience life and people in a more meaningful way.
4. Get Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable: Stepping out of your comfort zone can be unpleasant and scary, but staying in a place where you feel cozy and at ease doesn’t help you make the changes you desire or take your life to the next level. Decide to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Today, do one thing you’ve wanted to do but haven’t because you feel uncomfortable doing so. Through the process of continuously putting yourself into a position of pushing through fear and dealing with discomfort you’ll discover that it becomes easier and easier and you will have much more to offer yourself, your community and the world.
5. Ditch Limiting Beliefs: Say “NO” to tired, old stories, thoughts and fears that held you back and create new ones; new stories, new thoughts, new affirmations. Let go of your outdated self-image, toxic thought processes and limiting beliefs that no longer serve you and the present day goddess you desire to be. Stop worrying about what everyone else will think, turn off your inner critic and follow your bliss.
6. Take Aligned Action: Inaction does not result in fulfillment. Intentions are glorified wishes unless you get moving towards your desires! Get out of your head and into your life by taking action. Instead of waiting for some big push, cosmic sign or inspiration to hit, choose to take action right now. If you have a sense your life would benefit from taking a class or working with a coach, sign up. If you’ve been thinking about writing a book, beginning to paint or getting back to an exercise regimen, stop thinking and take action. Write your outline, enroll in a class, get your art supplies, put your sneakers on and take that walk. Take action. Beware – doing busy work is not aligned action. Aligned action is when engage and complete a task that moves you closer to your goal.
7. Embrace Life’s Lessons: Don’t despair about past or potential mistakes. When you become consumed with thoughts of failure, you won’t attempt anything! Worrying about how you might not succeed keeps you from taking action to move forward. The more you worry about making mistakes the more inertia kicks in. Begin to trust that every mistake you make is the perfect opportunity to learn and grow. If something doesn’t work out as you’d hoped, ask yourself “What’s the lesson”? Embrace the lessons you’ll learn from the blunders and errors you might make, they’re golden nuggets and can be our greatest teacher (if you allow it). Don’t beat yourself up about how you might not be perfect; celebrate the fact that you are taking charge of your life, your destiny and taking action toward your goals and heartfelt desires! Imperfect action is better than inaction any day! Why? Because… everything is figure-out-able!

In closing, the best thing about your life is YOU get to decide. You get to decide how you want it to look. Putting one or all of these tips into practice will get you moving and I guarantee you’ll find that you are more self-confident and feel more in control of your life and your destiny.

With so much love,
