AM Happy Start Questions

For quite some time now I have set up a morning routine that involves me creating my own little bliss bubble.

Over many years of coaching and being coached I have learned very well the incredible importance of how we start our day. Not only is it important to eat breakfast to signal the end of a fast to the body's metabolism, it is vitally important to set up, or simply reinforce the "mental framework" and consciousness with which enter the world each new morning.

To wake up in a fog and not consciously clear the air is like getting into your motor vehicle and driving with an iced up windscreen; incredibly suicidle- and ultimately, won't get you far.

If you sometimes feel like you are in your own groundhog day, in other words- stuck, stagnant, going through the motions, living the same dull life day after day, lacking motivation, energy and passion- then perhaps there is some fog in need of clearing?

I have an easy technique that I myself use each and every morning, and that I teach to all of my clients. Without exception, I can tell you that it creates an incredible shift in the lives of those who practice it daily AND it is a practice that people come to LOVE!

Many wise people say that the quality of our questions determines the quality of our lives. Here are some powerful questions to start your day that can clear any fog, and set up a positive framework and present consciousness with which to enter the world each and every day.

The idea is to do them FIRST thing upon awakening so that you can create a "bliss bubble" around yourself which can "bounce off" negative energy, disempowering perspectives and protect you in a "buffer" of positive and present awareness.

Start every morning with the following 3 or 4 Happy Start Questions and see what changes for you:

1) What am I happy and grateful for today?

2) What do I love/like/admire/appreciate about myself more than I did yesterday?

3) What do I love/like/admire/appreciate about (partner) more than I did yesterday?

4) Knowing that my goals are a reality, what 3 actions will I take today to manifest them into my life?

Allow yourself TIME to answer these genuinely and to really pay attention and find answers that FEEL TRUE for you.

It can take some practice to get this, as any new habit, rolling in a momentus fashion. That is fine. Be patient and simply keep practicing each day. Soon enough, you will find yourself on a roll and things will begin to change.

The key however is truth, as for these positive vibrations to ripple far and wide they must be supported with emotion. Emotions are the turbo charges to creating the reality you experience around you- think about that.

Take responsibility to ensure that the thoughts you are turbo charging everyday are the ones you want to shape your life.

Are you creating what you want?

Practice asking the right questions, planting the right seeds (answers/thoughts) and adding the right fertiliser (emotions) and just see how your garden grows :)

What are you grateful for today?

I LOVE to start my day thinking about what I am grateful for and what things I will do in my day to create the life I love.

It is one thing that has completely changed the way I see everything- plenty of practice I do admit :)

Imagine the energy we can create by sharing with each other what we are grateful for :)


Ok, so me :

Today I am SO happy and grateful that I had a brilliant run into Noosa National park, that the sun is glorious and shining, that I have had a great morning writing, that I have eaten a MASSIVE and YUMMY breakky of salmon, fruit, egg and vegies (hehe) AND a delicious Rainforest Organic plunger coffee :) Seriously! Life is BLISS!!! mmmmm mmmm :)

What about you guys? Cannot wait to hear! :)

Mwah! xoxo

Are you BUT-ting out your gratitude?

Having been on a journey of self-discovery for quite some time now, (one I plan to continue forever! :) ), I have developed a true appreciation for how differently we can feel about life, ourselves, others and any situation or moment, simply by changing our focus.

We hear over and over that what we focus on is what shows up in our lives.

People say "yeah, yeah, I know that and I'm so grateful, I really am BUT..."

OOPS!!! I have learnt that that word, "but", effectively DELETES EVERYTHING you say before it!

Think about that..

"Babe, does my butt look big in these jeans?"

"No baby, not at all BUT...."

At that point you tune out and whatever is said next, despite how complimentary, recovering, or pleasing it may be...we are gone...all we hear and process in our mind is, "my bum looks fat in these jeans"!

See where I am going? :)

If you cannot relate to this example, think of others...

"Do you like dinner?"
"Oh yes its great BUT...." Again instant zone out! Focus is completely on the idea they DON'T like dinner

There are plenty of others to consider

So....really think about that word....pay attention to how often you say it and notice what you are effectively DELETING when you are being "grateful"...

Are you REALLY in full appreciation....or are you allowing BUT's to send a completely opposing message out to the universe...?

TRUE appreciation and gratitude has no BUTS...anywhere! Not spoken, not thought, not even in existence in our sub-conscious…

There is simply COMPLETE acceptance of ALL that is...

The good, the bad, the ugly...

After all, those things become so only after we define them as such…

Essentially nothing is anything...it just is…

Until next time...have fun with your BUTs ;p

Cheers! xoxo
