Three Steps to Live Life on Your Own Terms
“The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.”

Wow. Can we talk about this quote from author Ben Stein? It’s nothing less than a road map to the perfect life . . . an action plan for a life filled with amazingness. And all you have to do is . . .
Decide what you want.

But how easy is that, really? The truth is, we live in some crazy times. In fact, while tons of new stressors drop into our lives, most people already had imbalances that kept stress at an all-time high. 
You know what I mean:
Fitness: Excess weight? Poor nutrition? Little exercise?
Finance: Crushing debt? No retirement plan? 
Family: Kids out of control? Marriage on life support?
Field: Career stress? Job loss? Low pay or no benefits?
Faith: No time for a daily relationship with God?
Friends: Toxic friends that create chaos? No mentors?
Fun: No vacations, adventures, parties, or fun in years?

If you’ve been following my posts, you know I’m big into getting what you want in the 7 major areas of your life. It’s something I learned from Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl—The Oola Guys—who teach how to find balance in our unbalanced world.

Now, as a Certified Oola Life Coach, I help clients address what’s not working in each of the 7 areas. Then we go to work correcting those stressors and bringing about the lifestyle, relationships and financial security they need to be happy, balanced and growing.

So what could living the Oola life look like for you?

I’ve got a list of tips that will give you some clarity. Message me  and I’ll get a copy out to you right away. 

Of course, I’d love to help you beyond just useful tips. In fact, lifestyle decisions and personal growth are two of the best reasons to work with a life coach. Without family pressure, opinions, or judgment, we can look at what YOU really want and how you might improve, grow, learn, or transition—safely and sensibly—into a situation that’s far better than the one you’re in now.

Message me to talk more about how coaching works. You were made for greatness. Let’s go get that outstanding life for you.

How I started to Live Differently

 
I was at a crossroad in my life when I learned to Live Differently.

It was several years ago that I was an investment advisor for a large regional bank.  I loved my position, my clients, the work. I was sure I was going to retire from this position.  Then one day the bank changed it's business model, didn't need as many investment advisors and my position was cut.  I was let go!

I did not have a plan B and felt like I was stuck in the muck.  What was I going to do now?  I knew that I didn't want to stay in the financial industry.  I didn't want to have my friends, income and career taken from me again.  I wanted to Live Differently.

For many years I was interested in natural products and how nature can help to support my bodily systems.  I completed a master herbalist certificate. I completed several master Reiki certificates and I knew that this was a direction I wanted to go in.

That's when I discover the essential oils of Young Living and their Seed to Seal promise.  Knowing about herbs and natural products I was thrilled to finally find a company that got it!  The products are only as good as the way the plants are grown, treated and processed to get the best results.  That is what Young Living does.  I also was very impressed with the way they combine essential oils into a wide variety of products for home, personal care, immune system, and event pets!  I had never discovered a company that does all of this and give you the opportunity to create an income simply by sharing the products.  I was hooked!

But that just started my journey to Live Differently.  I knew I wanted to get my Reiki practice started and there were so many internal stories I was telling myself about why this was not going to work!  I felt defeated until my good friend handed me the Aroma Freedom Technique book and asked me to join the certification class.  This technique blew me out of the water!  It helped me to turn around my internal narrative and self doubt I had to changing the way I saw myself and the world around me.  It showed me a way to use the essential oils I loved to improve my overall mental state.

So I was on my way.  Still I felt like I didn't have enough traction to really make a difference and that is when I found Oola.
Finding balance in an unbalanced world is exactly how I felt and that is what the Oola book talked about.  It showed me a simple framework to change the lifestyle I had to the life I really wanted to live.  It also is a whole community of like minded people that want to continually improve themselves and the world they live in. Now I had all the pieces that I needed to Live Differently.   

The best part is I get to share this with everyone who wants to Live Differently.
