How to Change Your Life and Why It Feels Hard Podcast is at the bottom of this page for your listening pleasure or find it on iTunes under Millennials and Money Cafe  Or you can read below: I thought you'd like the notes on the tapping I take you through. To start, I'd like you to Think About: What would you love to have all the time in your life? You can do this by taking a piece of paper and drawing a line down the middle of it. On the top write familiar for one column and unfamiliar for the other. On one the familiar side put what you want to change and on the other side list what you want. See below for examples. You can PAUSE the video now for 1 min. and make the list and then listen as I will have many more examples you can fill in later. We are creatures of comfort. We do what comes easy even if it’s not good for us (an addiction) and we want something else because our comfort is in what is familiar. So what is familiar? It is something that you’ve done many times that now doesn’t feel new, hard or awkward to you. A lot of your familiar characteristics and habits are formed in childhood. So unless you change have applied new practices of ways of being and believing and made them your new familiar you are still living your childhood programming (your home, school, culture, education, political, social economics … environments) Your self-esteem, wealth issues, social comfort, relationships, well-being…are all a result of your past experiences and influences. If you are trying to become more successful in any area of your life, accomplish a goal that is out of your familiar comfort zone, you will NOT achieve it unless you choose unfamiliar thoughts/feelings/actions and practice them long enough so they become familiar. You don’t know what you don’t know! Making the unfamiliar familiar requires daily choices, awareness, repetition, persistence and commitment. Example: I stopped eating dairy because it made my psoriasis flare up and it was hard to not eat it when it was everywhere around me...but my vanity was more important than my addiction to dairy and I wanted healthy skin so I would feel good about myself. Your brain wants what is familiar, it goes with habit or what is easiest unless you give it directions. You do what you know until you learn something new and apply it to living your life. That is what I am teaching you now and giving you an opportunity to reprogram with the tapping session coming up. I am going to show you the new unfamiliar you might KNOW you can have and become. We each need people in our life who show us what is possible, give us permission in a way to become what feels more true and aligned with our soul-self than the programming we are living that was taught to us at a young age and we live out as being who we are as adults. It can feel hard to break habits/patterns because they are familiar. The hard part is putting your attention on the good, inspiring, praising, uplifting, successful – unfamiliar focus and take your focus off your old limiting familiar stuff that is holding you back from creating what you want. EX: Believing in yourself instead of beating yourself up with negative self-talk  such as I don’t matter or I'm never enough. What would you like to be more familiar with in your life? Believe in yourself Feeling Love Friends that value you for you Feel safe being you Having your own successful business Having a partner that loves and respects you Feeling vibrant, happy and healthy Peace and harmony It’s not arrogant to think you’re the best or good thoughts about yourself-you’re not saying you’re the best in everything. You’re rewiring your brain to the experience of pleasure, wealth, co0nfidence, well-being and love… that were not familiar to you as a child, so you can create them in your life NOW. Ask Yourself how can my life get, feel, be better? What would I have to think, feel and do? Inspired, Whole Amazing

How to Change Your Life and Why It feels Hard

Do you have a fear of rejection? (I'm alone, worthless, unlovable, misunderstood...) Do you have a fear of inadequacy? (I'm not good, smart, rich, sexy, skinny, perfect, fast...enough) Do you have a fear of powerlessness? (I can't trust, be heard, be seen, do what I want...I have no control...) Well you're not alone if you do.  These 3 fears are deeply seated and are formed early in childhood. This is why you don't feel safe! This is why you are triggered in your relationships and in social media. The fears can be buried  in your subconscious mind and play out through your thoughts, feelings and actions without your awareness. These fears keep you from being successful and willing to change your life for the better. I've created an EFT tapping session for you to release the mind/body energy around these fears to help you start to feel safer to make changes that serve you in your life and business. Watch the video or listen to the iTunes podcast below. The fears are explained, as well as, instructions for the tapping session. Let me know how it worked for you and what you discovered about yourself in the comments below or email me. If you want to discuss fears more deeply, call me for a discovery session.   iTunes Podcast below Please share this video or blog, so we can support raising the vibration to love and above for the good of ALL!

Tapping to Release the Fears of Rejection, Inadequacy and Powerlessness

This week I share a meditation with you that will help you change how you feel. You'll be guided to raise your vibration and expand your emotional experiences so that you override the negative emotions that have been habitually and unconsciously limiting you. If you don't like your current reality you have to do something new to create a new one. Just like I have been doing. You create your world through your thoughts, feelings and actions. So let's change how you feel about yourself and the world around you in order to create a better world for you to live and thrive in. How are you feeling right now? Close your eyes and listen what's going on in your head. Notice what emotions and thoughts are running in the background of your mind. You might try it for a day. Are they expansive and supportive of where you want to be or are they beating you down and abusive? And are you believing that this internal abuse will make you better? It won't, ever!   Beating yourself up will never make you better at anything, it just keeps you mind, body and spirit living in fear/stress. (It's killing you!!!!) When I did listened to myself I found out how abusive and disempowering I was to myself without my awareness. I learned this voice was not who I was and that I could become the Marilyn I imagined I'd like to be. So I started using a variety of tools and myself as a guinea pig to transform my life. Today I'm a successful work in progress, what I call a Brilliant Juicy Mess. I love myself, my life and I'm thriving in the moment. I still catch moments of the old programming playing in the background, but they don't run me any more. I want this for you---because you are so much more than you can imagine and the negative voice is limiting your ability to fully express what you came into your body to create at this time in history. You are a brilliant juicy mess that we want to see and hear and play with. There is no reason that you should have to suffer needlessly.   You are the creator of your world, Yes YOU Are! Through your  feelings, memories, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions (all connected) you produce the results of your life. You don't "see" the world through your eyes, you "produce it"  it through you beliefs and perceptions. Allowing yourself to feel more elevated emotions for longer periods than what your currently experiencing  is like editing your role as supporting actor to lead role.  This shift in presence and soon belief about what is possible changes how you "see and experience" yourself and your world. There are Instructions in the beginning of the podcast, but I've also written them out here for your convenience. The meditation starts at 9 minutes. I'd recommend that you introduce this meditation into a daily practice for at least 3 weeks to reprogram your old vibration into a higher and more vital energy for creating the life you deserve. Until the new emotions become natural to you. Exercise: This is not an easy exercise because most of us don't want to become conscious of the thoughts and feelings we're currently running our lives because we believe them to be true and it's painful.  The truth is a lot of what you believe and perceive of yourself and world is programmed during childhood and it is not who you authentically are. You can change your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and perceptions by practicing new ways of being, by allowing yourself to experience new and higher vibrational feelings and thoughts. Change your emotional habits, change your life! Write down, What your worst day feelings are? What do you feel regularly negative about yourself and your world? Here is help: A Feelings worksheet link Use these 3 fears to help you pin down the thoughts that are driving you daily feelings... Fear of not being enough (Smart, skinny, wealthy, sexy, pretty, good, perfect...) Fear of Rejection (I'm alone, I'm worthless, I'm not loveable,

Meditation: Raise Your Vibe, Change Your Life

It’s the Holiday stress time when life can feel overwhelming with added social events and longer to do lists. The stress, anxiety and overwhelm can be minimalized if you take good care of yourself. With strategic planning and conscious monitoring of your energy and emotions, you will have a holiday that fulfills you instead of depletes you. To help you navigate I’m sharing 5 Powerful Steps for Highly Sensitives to Kick Holiday Stress with tools to help you.   Here is what is causes highly sensitives holiday stress: overwhelmed - there are too much to do and too many places to be empathy -  you’re feeling other people’s stress and anxiety as your own overstimulation - travel challenges, parties, too many people, not enough alone time,  … run away creative mind - feeling disconnected or not safe around family or friends depleted energy - you dropped your self-care money worries Boot holiday stress out of your life and fill you up with more joy, love, and connection. Practice these 5 steps to kick stress this holiday season. 1. Don’t take things personally When other people do, say or react remember, It’s not about you! People who cut you off in traffic, bump into you and say stupid thoughtless things are stressed out and dealing with their own stuff even if they are intimate with you. Realizing this can relieve you of a tremendous amount of anxiety and stress. When someone reacts or acts out, say to yourself, “It’s not about me!” You are not the center of their universe, they are. How people react and feel is the result of the “meaning” they put on an event. It has to do with what they believe about themselves and the world. People’s reactions are their responsibility and are a result of their beliefs, habits and childhood conditioning. (Abuse is not to be tolerated, which is another matter that I'm not discussing here) 2. Take responsibly for your thoughts, emotions, and actions You create how you feel. So choose the emotions you want to experience this holiday season and then think the thoughts that help to create those feelings. Create emotional intentions for your holiday season and plan out how to manifest them. Let's pretend you want a peaceful and fun holiday season. What thoughts and actions lead you to peaceful feelings?  Do the same for feeling fun. Make a list of the thoughts and actions and start implementing them. Remember all of this creation starts with you first and then overflows into your world Peaceful:  Meditate and ground daily, attend Xmas-eve midnight mass and/or  winter solstice gathering, spend time in nature, give myself plenty of time, only go to events that are meaningful to me, have clear boundaries, plan and structure for ease, know your limits, ask for and allow support, remove clutter from your environment and mind, don't listen to news, spa day, aromatherapy bath...  "I am peaceful, my life is filled with peace, what makes my life so peaceful?, I am so grateful for all the peace in my life,..." Fun:  Join a caroling group, attend only fun holiday parties, bake with your family/friends, make fun handmade gifts for friends, dance, dress up, give to people who don't expect it, create new traditions, intimate dinner parties, decorate and celebrate... "My life is filled with fun, I am fun, I love having fun, Fun opportunities abound, what is making my life feel so fun, I am surrounded with fun and peaceful people, I will have fun this holiday..." You have to choose what you'd love to experience and then create it through your thoughts, feelings, and actions!     3. Take care of yourself energetically, mind, body, and spirit. We are made of energy and we are receiving and projecting energy all day long. As energy beings, we are like radio towers tuning in on other people’s frequencies around us. We can pick up and own a lot of energetic information that is not ours. As HSPs you can pick up on other people’s feelings and moo...

5 Powerful Steps to Kick Holiday Stress, Highly Sensitives

I created this guided meditation to feel better in mind, body, and spirit. With all the chaos and stress in our lives, it can be challenging to feel positive and have elevated energy about our future throughout the day. We are easily influenced by the drama and challenges of the day to not be inspired, grateful, or compassionate. This short but powerful meditation will help you up-level your daily emotions and focus and therefore change your life. In this guided meditation you will change your energy from those emotions that drain or stress you into those that will elevate and inspire you.   Examples of Draining and Limiting Emotions: worry fear resentment jealousy frustration disappointment doubt helpless poor hatred disempowered Examples of Elevated Emotions: joy inspiration love gratitude compassion freedom abundance happy appreciation empowered magnificence in love with life Creating a daily practice with this type of meditation will change your life.   Try this meditation for 7 days in a row and see what happens and then keep going for 30 days and then let the elevated energies become part of your state of being every day. Notice what happens to your state of mind, health, and well-being, opportunities showing up, and how you feel more connected to everything. Remember your energy is a magnet and you've got to change your addiction to your stress hormones so you can attract new opportunities and people into your life. It all starts with you feeling whole and connected. I'd love to hear your comments, so please email me (coachmarilyn1@gmail.com) or leave comments here about your experience with this meditation.  

20 min. Meditation to Feel Better in Mind, Body & Spirit

I have created an energy healing for you that is a combination of inner child work and Ho'oponopono prayer that I have found to be a very powerful healing process. Ho'oponopono is a Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness.  Inner Child work is imaging yourself giving your inner child what s/he didn't receive as a child. You are to compassionately and lovingly observe your inner child as the adult, creating a SAFE place for them to express themselves, so they don't have to hide out or feel abandoned any longer. The healing through this process can happen on many levels; emotionally, physically, mentally, financially, spiritually... It is a very personal journey of letting go, forgiving and healing. Your experience will vary every time you listen to this audio guide. Make a practice of listening to this audio to connect with your inner child until it becomes a habit and you do it daily on your own. You will be guided through this healing in this audio which is 18 minutes long. 18 minutes can change your life!

The best Advice for twentysomethings with Samantha Matt

How finding your zone of genius will help you create better relationships. For years I've recommended the book Conscious Loving that Kathlyn (Katie) Hendricks co-authored with her husband Gay Hendricks to my clients and followers. Katie is an inspiration when it comes to finding loving relationships. Now it is with great pleasure that I interviewed Katie Hendricks for my Millennials and Money Cafe Podcast. I know so many millennials suffering from the lack of deep connection with significant others and in the interview Katie shared key solutions to resolve these personal challenges and so much more. Katie shares valuable relationship advice for Millennials about how to create loving relationships, upper limiting in relationships, what your zone of genius is and why it's key to finding the right partner and awesome resources for overcoming relationship fears. An important message you can take away from this conversation is how important YOU are to the relationship instead of putting everything on the other person. We cover a lot of key points to creating a loving relationships from conscious loving, fears, personal power, commitment, relationships, self-love, self worth, to the importance of becoming authentically you. We even discussed how people are addicted to adrenaline and how it is draining them and their personal power to create instead of being turned on to life and feeling full and fulfilled.  Enjoy and In Joy, Marilyn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGS2byt4kZ8 http://www.hendricks.com/appendices/ You can find the Secrets to "what really makes love last"  on Katie's website for Hearts In Harmony.
