Life Coaching Tips to Make Happiness Automatic
My clients are generally the biggest of the big in their respective industries. Each of them has created massive success. Yet the process they used to get there often seems inapplicable to the other aspects of life like happiness or peace. The process is the same. You must create structures, systems, disciplines and processes that make your happiness automatic. Here are three tips that will start you on this process. 1. Gratitude. The Drunk Monkey (my nickname for the mind) is designed to look for what is wrong and try to fix it, kill it or avoid it.

Life Coaching Training - 3 Aspects of Inspired Action
People who are inspired seem to take action effortlessly while those who are not have to figure out a way motivate themselves into action. If things come easy you are inspired. If things are difficult you are not. If things are not coming easily, it’s probably because you are not inspired by what you are doing. Consider, if you are not inspired to do something it’s because you are not really interested in it. I often discover in the coaching process that people who have to force something to happen are trying to prove something to other people by taking the action.

Life Coaching - Be Outrageous This Week
I’ve got a group of people working with me in my Transforming Fear into Action Class. Their assignment is to think of four outrageous actions that would catapult their life forward.

So, here are some ideas on outrageous things you could do this week that would terrify The Drunk Monkey and give yourself an opportunity to see your machine in action.

The Importance of a Past You Regret
As a Life Coach, this is where I find people. Great lives born out of negative pasts. If your past sucked, then you benefited and your life is better today because of it. Having a negative childhood is almost always the best thing that ever happens to someone. The contrast you experience gives you new desires, new ideas, and the energy you need to create the life you want. The negative past is a catalyst for profound change. In that way, it is great!! But your unwillingness to accept it and appreciate it becomes a barrier to the next level of happiness and peace.

WHY DO MANY SPIRITUAL TYPES HAVE SUCKY LIVES? – Life Coaching
Because of the nature of my training and coaching programs, many of my clients come to me with a very spiritual perspective on things. The promise of a spiritual perspective is that you will feel more connected, more loved, more joyous, and feel a sense of oneness. Yet, many spiritual people DO NOT have an abundance of these experiences. In fact, most of the spiritual people I meet have pretty sucky lives. And guess what, I’ve been there too.

The Danger of Complaining
Complaints are normal. Everyone complains. If you listen to the random thoughts in your head, which I call The Drunk Monkey, you will hear thousands of complaints a day. It’s natural. Complaints are aspects of your experience that The Drunk Monkey disagrees with. Life happens, people do things and your brain says, “That should not be that way!” The truth is, that complaining is a survival mechanism. Since complaints describe that which you believe is not good, complaints are a way of identifying potential threats and avoiding them.

Do You Have To Many Goals?
I just finished creating my goals and intentions for the Second Quarter of 2010. I started by assessing my Q1. In doing so I realized that I wasn’t living my over arching intention for 2010. I have two signs in front of my computer screens… 1. Simplicity 2. My time is valuable In the first quarter I set 74 intentions and goals. Hello!!! That is not simple at all. Didn’t realize this until I went through and checked off what I completed. I only completed 44%. Second thing I realized is that The Drunk Monkey snuck into my goal setting process at the beginning of this year.

Is your focus making you a victim of the economy? – Life Coaching
The Drunk Monkey (your mind) is a survival machine. It’s job is to protect you from possible destruction. Therefore, it is totally addicted to the news. The news organizations have realized that sensationalized news hooks their viewers Drunk Monkeys. The news has no commitment to truth. It has a commitment to making money which means “selling advertising”. The more viewers the news organizations have, the more money these companies make. Clearly, there is a natural pull towards the sensational verses the truth.

Does an obsession for success kill the passion for life?- Life Coaching Training
Deluxe. Several times I was moved, elated, bouncing and feeling so happy being right here, right now. In the last month I read all four Twilight books and I was so blown away by how it made me feel. I’m sitting here thinking. Where have I been? What have I been doing? What have I been waiting for? When was I going to start appreciating art, beauty and artistry again? After I achieved what? What does achieving have to do with appreciation? I remember being a teenager and I was moved, touched, inspired, sparked, enraged and validated by song, art, film and theater.
