Fear is one of those emotions that our minds use to protect....Yet we also know that our fears can be illogical at the worst of times and at the best of times.

Do you ever wish that you could be more outgoing? Do you experience a sense of panic just thinking about leaving your home? Do you undermine your progress with any goal that you wish to fulfill? Are you terrified at making mistakes?

Imagine what you would be able to do if you truly understood why you experience fear or panic and then deliberately changing that emotion to one of excitement!

Think about it....

A life that enables you to live with confidence, excitement for experiences with the unknown and a sense of renewed discovery.

RTT is all about helping you become your own advocate for whatever you can imagine life could be.

I want to talk a bit about grief. We've all experienced it at some point in our life.

Grief can come from all sorts of different types of loss. Job loss, losing someone we love, loss of a friendship, a marriage or relationship, loss of a pet, loss of a home etc. The list can go on.

The results can leave us debilitated if we cannot move through the five stages of grief. Denial, anger, bargaining (the what if's), depression and then finally acceptance.

In many cases when someone gets stuck along the process of grieving there is usually some other reason and it can be punishing. Guilt being a leading factor of not being able to move through the process.

Guilt is not grief. Guilt is holding a belief that somehow we are responsible or could have done something different.

I recently had a client who was experiencing deep grief over the loss of a relationship where they found themselves floundering, and in a lot of pain. The outcome of the session had nothing to do with the loss itself, only a tremendous sense of failure. When the session was completed they could speak of the loss without tears, yet before the session they could not. During the follow-up the client had communicated that they were experiencing a sense of peace (acceptance) and were now able to move on.

We will all experience loss in life. That is inevitable but no one needs to be punished over and over again because of it. Everyone has the right to move through the process of grief, to let go, remember and move on. Even though life will be different, each of us has the ability to heal, rebuild and feel peace again.

As humans we have the ability to make decisions based on the choices that are presented to us each and every day. According to Eva Krockow, a lecturer at the University of Leicester in the UK we make a whopping 35,000 decisions each day and with all of these of these decisions we will experience consequences that either support us or not.

As I work with clients I've discovered that the poor choices are made from an over arching decision made in our early years and supported in adulthood. It comes from a child's perspective of many issues such as: I am not loveable, what I want doesn't matter, I'm not good enough, I don't deserve to be here, it's a way to protect or punish plus so many others. The underlying and often invisible decision made in those early years will be of determent as we navigate through our lives in all areas. Job, career, health, proper nutrition.

Unless it is a side effect from medication, anyone who carries excess weight and cannot take it off with regular activity and healthy eating has made such a decision early on. Plus, we are bombarded by food commercials designed to tempt us. I often hear how demoralized a person is from the inability to eat healthy or get moving. I myself can be a binge eater. I do this when I am in a prolonged state of mental stress. I need comfort and I look to find it in the cupboards. I know food absolutely cannot comfort me but it didn't stop me from tasting everything that might be appealing.

I learned to ask myself why am I feeling the way I am feeling? What am I doing or not doing that supports what I want to feel? What am I needing? I discovered that I need to feel like I mattered and I didn't and the biggest perpetrator that made me feel like that was myself.

I needed to REALLY REALLY decide that I mattered, what I want matters, how I feel matters and what I do matters. I setup some new rules that made sure that I follow because ..... please see above.

So ask yourself what do you want. Decide that what you want matters. I'm not talking about just making a decision. I'm talking about MAKING a decision that nothing and no one is going to change your mind. Have you ever made such a decision? Did you ever waiver from that track no matter what the consequences are? If you answer yes, then you know what I'm talking about.

Do you want to change your weight, get a higher paying job, gain more confidence, find love, or peace or whatever else? Then you need to really decide what that is, and with that decision comes another... that what you want, what you do and how you feel really matters.

You will begin to make plans, set yourself some rules and an action plan and you will make traction. I guarantee it. If you derail from your plan and find yourself making a poor choice, ask yourself if this action or inaction is conducive to what I want? If the answer is no then repeat the phrase that you matter, what you want matters and what you do matters. That inner voice that tells you different will fade and you will stay the course.

Keep up the great work!
