Finding Inner Harmony

Finding Inner Harmony
In this blog post, we explore two powerful modalities that can help us find inner harmony and regain control in today's stressful world: Reiki and the Aroma Freedom Techniques (AFT). 
Reiki is a gentle healing practice that channels life force energy to restore balance on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. It aims to calm the mind, release tension, and promote relaxation, ultimately shifting our thought patterns towards a more positive mindset. 
AFT, on the other hand, combines the potency of essential oils with focused intention to release negative emotions and limiting beliefs. By applying specific oils and following a protocol, AFT helps unlock our true potential and create lasting change. 
By incorporating Reiki and AFT into our self-care routines, we can reduce stress, embrace positive thought patterns, and live a more balanced life.

Learn to Live Differently with the Power of Discipline

Learn to Live Differently with the Power of Discipline
Today we explore the transformative power of discipline in unlocking your best life. Contrary to popular belief, discipline is not about punishment, but rather a tool that empowers you to make conscious choices aligned with your goals and values. By embracing discipline, you gain control over your life and become the captain of your ship, steering it towards success and fulfillment.

Discipline plays a crucial role in achieving goals, fueling personal growth, overcoming challenges, and managing time effectively. It helps you set clear objectives, develop healthy habits, and persist even when faced with obstacles. With discipline as your guiding force, setbacks become stepping stones towards success.

While it's important to strike a balance between discipline and flexibility, embracing discipline as an ally on your journey can turn dreams into reality. Start small, set achievable goals, and gradually expand your discipline "repertoire." Don't forget to lean on tools like accountability partners and positive affirmations to stay motivated and on track.

If you're ready to unlock your best life, reach out to me, your dedicated [Live Differently Coach and Consultant](https://livedifferently.club). Together, we'll navigate this exciting path towards your very own best life!

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.
