Abundance

Abundance

My vision of abundance is living a life permeated by vibrant good health.  Overflowing with fun, laughter and pleasure.  Filled with Love and friendship and meaningful relationships.  Where there is no lack, minimal stress, and absolute freedom and contentment.

How JUICY is that?!

And so this is my mission statement:

mission

I only arrived at this after many years of feeling like I was living in a perpetual state of lack…  a lack of money, a lack of time, a lack of feeling good – both physically and emotionally.  Feeling discontent, unfulfilled, and often times lonely.

Overall I just felt STUCK. Yet I kept plodding along, doing the same things year after year, somehow expecting that my circumstances would change. Silly me!  I was very clear on what I didn’t want any more of in my life, which eventually led me to start thinking about what I did want…

This clarity of vision that I had for my ideal life led to some BIG shifts in thinking and doing that launched me out of my rut and into a place of overwhelming abundance.  The important first step is getting clear on what you want your life to look like, then try applying some or all of these ideas to move you towards your vision.

Here is what worked for me:

Take control by taking responsibility – everything you have and do not have in your life is entirely up to you. Be the driver, not the passenger!

Commit to doing things different, even if you feel fear (especially then) – nothing can change if you continue to think & do everything exactly the same.

Get healthy – it gives you the energy to take on the world.

What you focus on expands – always give attention and gratitude to the positives and what is working, instead of dwelling on the frustrations.

Find your tribe – surround yourself with optimistic, like-minded people.  Spend less time around negative people who don’t support your dreams.

Go play outside!  Spend more time in nature and less time with technology.  Be inspired by how much beauty and abundance exists in nature. Move your body.

Stop comparing yourself to others – just be the very best version of you.

Find your purpose – when you’re living authentically and in alignment with your values, then abundance will flow effortlessly.  This isn’t just about work and may not involve being compensated…. at first 😉

 

It’s taken me quite some time to live into my vision of an ideal life.  And even now that I’ve achieved it, it takes constant nurturing to maintain. I’m the perpetual student, picking up offerings of wisdom along the way. I practice. I fail. I course correct. I fall asleep. I wake up. I grow, every day, I grow.

But there is one thing I know for certain:  the Universe is inherently abundant.
And there is PLENTY for everyone.

much love & gratitude,
~kristi

Healthy Mind-Set

Healthy Mind-Set

I have this quote from Kathy Coover (co-founder of Isagenix) on the pin board above my desk:

Productsdontfail

In the years I’ve been coaching people on the Isagenix products, I’ve definitely seen this to be true.  I know the products work. I hear feedback daily from people who are having overwhelming success.  I have my own good health as proof.  There is no deficiency when it comes to Isagenix products.  So why do some people succeed in reaching their health goals, while others fail?

This past year I’ve had the experience of coaching my husband, who has successfully lost over 100 pounds.  Living with the person I’m coaching gave me a whole new insight into the process.  What I witnessed with Mike is that getting the product into your body every day is the easy part.  It didn’t matter that he didn’t follow the 30 day protocol religiously.  What I discovered was that a positive mind-set is as big a part of transforming your health as improving your nutrition.

Here are a few of the qualities that I witnessed in Mike that I believe are key to his amazing success, beyond just consuming Isagenix products every day:

1.    Commitment – he is thoroughly committed to improving and maintaining good health.  He doesn’t waver. He doesn’t make excuses.  He’s playing at 100% ALL IN! He doesn’t just talk about it, he DOES it.  His motto: “suit up and show up”

2.    Vision – he has a vision for what he wants to achieve and he hasn’t lost sight of it.  When he is faced with temptation he is able to recognize what will and what will not lead him forward towards his goals.  His focus is on gaining health (positive), not losing weight (negative).  We don’t own a scale and weigh ins only took place periodically.

3.    Willingness to Change – he has an open mind and is receptive to coaching. He has accepted new ideas about healthy eating. He takes a more active role in food preparation and has learned how to snack healthy and try new recipes.  He is prepared with healthy options every time he leaves the house.  He is eating more consciously – recognizing when he’s full, eating when he’s truly hungry and not out of habit.

4.    Balance – he still eats the food he loves, just less of it. He doesn’t view this is a diet so nothing is off limits but this is where #2 comes into play.  He recognizes that the key is moderation, not deprivation.  He has created space in his life to make daily exercise a priority.

5.    Transparency – he has been totally open and honest about his circumstances.  He has shared his intentions and goals with friends and family.  Putting it all out there provides an aspect of accountability that helps stay on target.

6.    Gratitude – he expresses his gratitude out loud every single day.  He is thankful for the ability to move easily, to be free of discomfort.  He is thankful for restful sleep and abundant energy.  He is thankful for Isagenix, for plentiful healthy food and good meals shared.  He is grateful to be happy.

If you’re taking Isagenix and not getting the results you want, I urge you to consider taking a closer look at your mind-set and see where you can make some adjustments to move you towards success.

In good health,
~kristi
