Do you have a Clarity Deficiency?

Let’s face it, it’s so easy to get caught up in the everyday hustle and lose sight of the big picture. When we’re not clear on what we want, it’s like trying to hit a target blindfolded, right?

Not knowing our true north can really throw us into a loop of second-guessing, putting things off, and, let’s be honest, feeling a bit lost. You deserve to be living on purpose and reaching for what lights you up inside. So, watch out for these common traps that could sneak up when you’re not looking:

  • Confusion and Chaos — When you don’t have a clear understanding of what you want or need, it’s difficult to make decisions and feel confident in your choices. Life may feel disorganized and overwhelming, leading to increased stress and anxiety.
  • Conflict and Compromise — You may find yourself unsure of how to respond to situations or whether to compromise your values, leading to inner turmoil and strained relationships.
  • Lack of Satisfaction — Without a clear vision for your life, it’s challenging to feel content with your current circumstances or appreciate your accomplishments, as you may not see how they fit into your broader goals.
  • Indecision and Analysis Paralysis — Unclear goals and external influences can cloud your judgment, leaving you stuck in a state of uncertainty and unable to move forward.
  • Procrastination and Lack of Motivation — If you’re unsure of your “why” or the steps to take, you may find yourself constantly putting things off and struggling to stay motivated.
  • Self-Doubt and Undervaluing Your Abilities — Without a clear sense of your strengths and weaknesses, it’s easy to doubt yourself and your capabilities.
  • Wasted Time and Resources — You may end up spending your valuable time and energy on activities or pursuits that don’t align with your values or goals, leading to dissatisfaction.
  • Regret and Missed Opportunities — You may look back and realize that you spent significant time and resources on pursuits that didn’t bring you joy, causing feelings of remorse and a sense of missed opportunities.
  • Lack of Fulfillment — Without taking the time to identify and pursue the things that truly matter to you, you may find yourself living an unfulfilling or unsatisfying life.

The path to clarity involves patience, self-reflection and being willing to step outside your comfort zone. Get real with yourself about your core values and what ignites your passion. Don’t be afraid to lean on friends, family or professionals for a new perspective along the way.

Once you gain that beautiful clarity, you’ll be empowered to curate a life that feels authentic and fulfilling to the real you. No more going through the motions – just unapologetic living! Sound good?

If those pitfalls are hitting a little too close to home, let’s join forces this summer and get you back in the clarity zone.

Sunflower Strategy: Face the Sunshine

Sunflower Strategy: Face the Sunshine

‘Hope you’re soaking up some beautiful vibes today! I’ve been hanging out in sunny California for a few weeks, spending some precious time with my granddaughters and lending a hand while my sweet daughter-in-law goes through some medical treatments.

While life may throw curveballs our way, even the most ordinary moments can become extraordinary when we embrace them with a grateful heart. Take the vibrant sunflowers I picked up for my d-i-l, for instance. These bright, cheerful beauties remind me of a quote from James Clear that really hit home:

“Some people get addicted to chain-smoking their problems.
They spend all day going from sorrow to sorrow. It doesn’t have
to be that way. You can live each day going from joy to joy—
like a sunflower that turns to face the sun as it moves
across the sky. It’s not about having a problem-free life,
but about focusing on the light. Sunflowers still
have shadows, but they are always behind them.”

It’s a reminder that no matter what, we can choose to face the sunshine and make the most of every moment. That’s exactly what my son’s little family is doing—setting a beautiful example of living joyfully and focusing on the bright side.

So, my friend, I encourage you to keep your eyes peeled for those small, delightful moments that add a touch of magic to your day. They might be as simple as a child’s infectious giggle, getting a heartfelt compliment, or the gentleness of a cool breeze on a sunny afternoon.

This week pay a little more attention, embrace the small things, and be like a sunflower -focus on the light so the shadows stay behind you!

Speak Your Truth with Confidence

Try these 10 Affirmations to Speak Your Truth With More Confidence

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Try these 10 Affirmations to Speak Your Truth With More Confidence

Have you ever caught yourself not saying what you really think, maybe because it felt too uncomfortable? Or found yourself hinting at what you mean, but not really being direct, and it just ends up causing confusion? It’s something we’ve all faced at some point. Let’s explore how we can move past that and communicate with confidence.

How often do you find yourself holding back your true thoughts or feelings out of fear or discomfort?

Or maybe expressing yourself in an indirect or passive-aggressive way that creates more tension than clarity?

Many people struggle with communicating assertively in certain situations. Stating our needs, opinions and boundaries directly yet respectfully, may not be something we were taught growing up.

The good news is that just like any skill, assertive communication can be developed through intentional practice. Here are three ways you can get started:

1) A powerful lesson about communication comes from a friend whose family runs a global business empire. He shared that his father’s success was based on four simple words: “What do you think?” His dad made a practice of genuinely asking others for their perspective before sharing his own. This invites open dialogue, helps others feel truly heard, and increases the likelihood they’ll be receptive to your thoughts when shared.

2) This idea is echoed by leadership expert Simon Sinek, who talks about the quiet power of being the last to speak in a discussion. By allowing others to fully voice their views first, you earn respect and your words carry more weight when it’s your turn.

Imagine how different workplace meetings, family disagreements or personal partnerships could be if we all approached them with curiosity about others’ perspectives and asserted our own with confidence yet compassion.

3) Another effective tool is the use of positive affirmations – You know how much I love using affirmations; declarations we repeat to ourselves to rewire unhelpful thought patterns and instill new positive beliefs. Think of it as telling the truth in advance!

Here are 10 affirmations designed to cultivate more open, honest and assertive communication:

  1. I communicate my needs and feelings openly and honestly, respecting myself and others.
  2. I have the courage to express my thoughts directly and respectfully.
  3. I choose clear and constructive communication over indirect methods.
  4. I am confident in my ability to address issues directly and seek resolutions.
  5. I respect the viewpoints of others and listen actively when they speak.
  6. I express my disagreements with kindness and seek understanding.
  7. I am worthy of expressing my needs and having them met.
  8. I approach conflicts with a positive attitude, looking for common ground.
  9. I am responsible for my own emotions and communicate them without blame.
  10. I foster relationships based on honesty, respect, and mutual understanding.

By repeating these affirmations regularly, we reinforce beliefs that allow us to communicate with clarity, confidence and consideration for others.

So to become a more confident and compassionate communicator:

  • get in the practice of sincerely asking for others’ views with, “What do you think?”
  • allow the quiet power of truly listening first before speaking, and
  • choose a few affirmations from this list to repeat regularly as your new self-talk.

It may feel uncomfortable at first, but stick with it – you’ll quickly become an assertive communication pro – you got this!

A Wee Bit O’ Irish Wisdom to Kick Off March

A Wee Bit O’ Irish Wisdom to Kick Off March

Whew, just got back from ‘the happiest place on earth’ with my two favorite little princesses in tow! We went on LEAP day, and I’ve been to Disneyland a lot, but have never seen it THAT crowded! But watching our granddaughter’s little faces light up as they met the Disney Princesses and rode the tea cups, etc. was so worth it – real-life fairytale moments!

Irish Wisdom-Disneyland

Now, switching gears from fairy dust to four-leaf clovers, let’s talk about the magic of March and a little Irish cheer I’m excited to share with you…

Ahh, March, the month where everything starts to feel a wee bit greener, doesn’t it? Though I don’t do corned beef and beer myself, I do have Irish ancestors that I love honoring by wearing green and embracing the festive vibes this month brings.

Speaking of Irish spirit, let me share a little wisdom from the Emerald Isle that you’ve probably heard before, but I think we could all be reminded of as we move into the month ahead:

“May the road rise up to meet you,

May the wind always be at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

And the rains fall soft upon your fields.”

Isn’t that so simple and lovely? It’s essentially wishing you all the ideal companions and conditions to make your path a little easier. The imagery of the road, wind, sun, and rain evokes a sense of being supported, nurtured, and cared for by the world around you. Almost like having nature itself as your sidekick through life’s journey.

But how can we actually apply that to our daily life? Great question my friend, here are three ways:

1) Even on the toughest days, try to find at least three small things to be grateful for. It could be as simple as the warm sun coming through the window while you eat breakfast, or noticing the first flowers of the season popping through the soil, or a smile from a kind stranger you pass on your walk. Those tiny bright spots have a way of lifting our spirits and keeping us going.

2) Give yourself grace during the stormy spells. If you find yourself caught in a downpour of hardship or strife, don’t be afraid to seek someplace dry and warm to wait it out for a bit. The Irish blessing comforts us by saying the “rains fall soft upon your fields” – not a destructive force, but part of life’s nurturing rhythms.

3) Use this month to spread a little more joy and cheer. The world could definitely use more of that Irish optimism! So let’s embrace the lucky vibes of March, shall we? Whether you’re rocking green from head to toe or just sporting a festive pin, find creative ways to infuse your daily routine with positivity and laughter. It could be as simple as starting your day with an uplifting playlist or sending funny memes to your friends.

Let’s channel all those lucky leprechaun vibes this month and treat March as our green light to have more fun, take things a little less seriously, and sprinkle a bit of that magical Irish cheer into our everyday hustle. That’s a fun challenge, eh?

Much Love,
Carolyn

Making Wiser Decisions: How to Balance Intuition and Analysis

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Making Wiser Decisions: How to Balance Intuition and Analysis

Last week I posted a short quiz about how you use intuition vs. analysis in your life. If you missed it you’ll find it here on my blog.

Let’s be real: with so much going on these days, making choices can sometimes feel overwhelming. The constant back-and-forth in your head, the overanalyzing and second-guessing can really slow the process, am I right?

Here’s the good news: there’s a simpler way that saves you time and stress. It’s called intuitive decision making.

At the core of intuitive decision making lies two crucial modes of thinking: intuitive and deliberative. While deliberative thinking involves deep analysis, often leading to a prolonged process of indecision and stress, intuitive thinking offers a swift, effortless path to decision-making.

Imagine being in a flow state, where your prefrontal cortex quiets down, and the brain’s lower regions take the lead, making rapid choices based on pattern recognition. Sounds liberating, right? You already have this, you just need to allow it to happen.

By blending your inner wisdom with practical facts, you can make clear-headed choices without all the agony. Trust yourself to tap into your gut instinct and then balance it with logic. Avoid getting hung up on every little detail—go with what feels aligned.

According to researchers at the Flow Research Collective, there are four simple steps to harness this effortless intuition in your everyday life. To make it even easier I’ve added some examples:

  1. Identify the True Problem: Often, we fixate on surface issues rather than the root cause. Take a moment to ask yourself, “What is the real problem here?” This isn’t just about treating symptoms; it’s about uncovering the underlying issue.
    • Example: You’re feeling overwhelmed and stretched thin. Instead of simply vowing to “do less,” ask yourself what’s truly driving your feelings. Is it the lack of meaningful activities, or perhaps the desire for more quality time with your family?
  2. Turn it into a Question: To engage your subconscious turn your problem into a question. Asking an open ended question taps into your rapid intuition, automatically leveraging patterns from your lifetime experience.
    • Example: If you’re deciding to quit your part time job to build an online business because you want more time at home with family. Ask your ‘inner advisor’ what are the potential benefits and challenges of starting my online business now, and how does this align with my long-term career and personal goals?
  3. Let Your Mind Incubate: Write down your question and then, let it be. Engage in relaxing activities, allowing your subconscious to work its magic in the background -and it will.
    • Example: Spend some time in your garden, take a walk through your neighborhood, drive to your errands with no radio or podcasts playing – just the quiet. These moments of calm give your intuition space to breathe and bring insights to the surface.
  4. Extract Insights: Aha moments often arrive when least expected. Make sure you capture them by writing them down right away. This affirms their value and also offers you a point of reflection and reassurance if you question your choices later on when doubt creeps in (as it likes to do).
    • Example: While preparing a family recipe, you’re inspired by the thought of hosting regular family dinners or potluck gatherings with close friends. This intuitive solution speaks directly to your desire for quality time with loved ones, fostering deeper connections and creating fulfilling moments together. Write down the insight and schedule it on your calendar.

By embracing this intuitive process, you’ll find that decisions come faster, and the path forward becomes clearer. You move from agonizing over every choice to trusting your inner guide to bring you the right answers right on cue.

With practice, your inner voice will fill you with calm direction. Its whisperings lead you to growth and contentment.

If you’re ready to dive deeper and truly embrace your intuitive potential, my online course, “Your Intuitive Gifts,” is designed just for you. It explores the different types of intuition and helps you discover your personal intuitive style. Click here to learn more.

Much Love,
Carolyn

QUIZ – Intuition or Logic: Which Guides You?

QUIZ – Intuition or Logic: Which Guides You?

Ever wonder how much your intuition plays a role in the decisions you make every day?

Here’s a quick, insightful quiz to get a glimpse into your intuitive decision-making process!

  1. When faced with a difficult decision, do you:
    • A) List pros and cons in a detailed analysis.
    • B) Feel the right choice in your gut and go with it.
  2. After making a decision that goes against the grain, do you feel:
    • A) Doubtful until you see proven results.
    • B) Confident in your choice, trusting your inner guidance.
  3. How do you approach problem-solving?
    • A) By immediately diving into logical solutions and research.
    • B) Allowing the problem to simmer in your subconscious, waiting for insights to bubble up.
  4. When you think back on your best decisions, were they more often based on:
    • A) Extensive research and advice from others.
    • B) A strong, inexplicable knowing that you were making the right choice.
  5. How do you feel when you go against your initial gut feeling?
    • A) Usually, it doesn’t bother me; I trust logic more.
    • B) Often regret it; my first instinct tends to be correct.

What Your Answers Say About You:

  • Mostly A’s: You lean towards analytical thinking. While thorough, giving your intuition more room could lead to faster, more satisfying decisions.
  • Mostly B’s: You’re intuitively driven, and trusting your gut serves you well. Fine-tuning this ability can make your decision-making even smoother.

Unlocking Your Decision-Making Power

Making decisions doesn’t have to be a stressful, drawn-out process. By balancing intuitive and analytical thinking, you can make quick, effective choices without the headache. The secret lies in harnessing your intuition—listening to that inner voice that often knows what’s best even before you’ve had time to think it through.

Stay tuned for PART TWO coming next week, where I’ll share specific tips on leveraging intuition for smooth, confident decisions!

Share Valentine’s Vibes with this Simple Heart Shift

Share Valentine’s Vibes with this Simple Heart Shift

Happy Valentine’s month!

In the spirit of love and light, I want to share a simple, yet powerful tool with you. It’s perfect for those moments when you’re feeling a bit down or frustrated with someone or something. The best part? You can do it anywhere, anytime.

As you read this keep in mind, love is the highest vibration and you definitely have the ability to feel and send love.

Let’s face it, we all have those moments where someone or something really tests our patience. It could be a friend, a family member, or even just a stressful situation.

Here’s a quick and simple way to turn things around for yourself, the other person, and the energy of the situation.

  1. Pause and Breathe: When you feel upset, take a moment to pause. Breathe in deeply, then slowly breathe out. This helps calm your mind.
  2. Heart Focus: Shift your focus to your heart.
  3. Visualize Love: Imagine a warm, glowing light of love in your heart. Feel it growing and becoming brighter.
  4. Send the Love: Now, with intention send this loving light from your heart to whoever or whatever is bothering you.

What’s great about this simple heart shift is it can diffuse a situation with no one else consciously knowing you are doing it. (I’ve even done this with strangers in the grocery store.) The hardest part is remembering to use this tool in the heat of the moment when those negative feelings bubble up.

Believe it or not, this small step can have a huge impact on your emotional well-being and how you interact with others. It’s choosing to embrace love and stay positive, even in sticky situations.

So, let’s radiate some warmth and love from our hearts this week. And remember, the trick is to catch yourself in those not-so-great moments and remember to pause and bring your awareness to your heart. Give it a try next time you’re in a situation that could use a ‘higher vibe’.

And, if you feel like you’re at a crossroads with any of your relationships, let’s energetically explore it together. I’ve got a handful of openings in my February schedule for private sessions. Reach out if you’re ready to dive deep.

Sending you lots of love and positive energy for the week ahead!

Here’s another fun Valentine’s suggestion – This little video nugget is from 4 years ago, so it’s an oldie but a goodie but it’s still a thoughtful idea to implement for yourself or your family. Give it a watch, spread the love, and let me know how it goes!

Lemon Sauce: 3 Helpful Tips to Turn Snags into Success

Lemon Sauce: 3 Helpful Tips to Turn Snags into Success

Have you ever had an unexpected obstacle pop up just as you’re gaining momentum toward a goal? I know I have! And while it’s sooo frustrating, it doesn’t have to derail your progress.

Remember my GreenSmoothieGirl 26-day detox journey? Well, I’m on my 11th round (yes, really!) and something interesting happened.

Last year, while I was on this detox, I wanted to use Millet for one of the breakfast recipes. But, as luck would have it, I couldn’t find any at my local stores. That’s when I stumbled upon Amaranth – a grain I had never tried before and instantly fell in love with. Talk about a happy accident!

Fast forward to last week, there I was, back on the detox trail, ready to whip up a delightful orange-coconut milk sauce for my now-favorite Amaranth, and guess what? No oranges in sight, argh.

Did I let that dampen my culinary spirit? Nope! I got creative and substituted with a lemon instead. And here’s the thing – I ended up loving the lemon sauce even more than the orange sauce!

This got me thinking about how life’s little snags, much like my missing oranges, are often blessings in disguise. They can lead us to things we would have never tried if circumstances had worked out how we thought they should.

And even though my examples are minor inconveniences, the lesson holds true for big or small circumstances. Here are three tips to turn unexpected hiccups into opportunities:

  1. Get Curious: When plans go awry, instead of throwing in the towel, ask yourself, “How can this moment help me innovate?” It’s about turning a challenge into a chance for creativity.
  2. Find the Hidden Gift: Often, the best discoveries are hidden in the least expected places. What if the very obstacle you’re facing is hiding a potential breakthrough? I like to ask myself, “How is this situation awesome?”
  3. Uplevel Your Thinking: As Einstein wisely said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Each new challenge is an invitation to expand our thinking and explore new possibilities.

So, next time life decides to switch up your recipe, remember, it might just be leading you to your next best discovery.

Here’s to new flavors, new adventures, and embracing the unexpected!

Shine on,

Carolyn Cooper

Transform Your New Year with Our Special Tradition

Transform Your New Year with Our Special Tradition

Season’s greetings!

Amidst the holiday cheer, I’m excited to share with you a personal tradition that Dean-the-dream and I have implemented since 2018. It’s different from the usual festive fun, but trust me, the rewards are immense! We’ve been kickstarting each year with a special detox – a tradition that’s not just another holiday activity, but a true game-changer for our health.

This isn’t about quick detox drinks or intense fasts. We’re talking about a detox that truly respects and rejuvenates your body, and that’s important because not all detox methods are equally beneficial.

The truth is we’re all being exposed to historic levels of new toxins. (As if our air, water, food, pharma, and products aren’t already clogging up our organs of elimination.)

Yes, our bodies have miraculous systems of detoxification – but they’re overwhelmed! This is exactly why Dean and I chose to start our detox tradition, and why it might just be the perfect time for you to also join this journey towards rejuvenation.

My colleague Robyn Openshaw, the GreenSmoothieGirl, has studied human detoxification for 29 years for 10,000 hours (more time than she spent studying for her advanced degrees combined), including the time she spent studying with holistic doctors and professionals around the world.

Her GreenSmoothieGirl Detox has influenced over 19,000 lives, over the past 11 years, including mine!

Robyn believes that all her time and work is paying off, because, in 2024, EVERYONE needs to do a dedicated, science-based detoxification program more than ever! Everyone she talks to seems to be stressed, lacking energy, and dealing with health challenges.

She wants to help as many people as possible. Your first step is to watch her Detox Secrets Video Series.

She’s distilled all her knowledge, giving people a chance to learn the EASY way. And she’s opening it to my community — for FREE! — for this month only. Join today to discover the truth about detoxification.

Because what you learn could lead to unbelievable results (for you and for the people you care about).

Like dropping weight where you need to? Yes, participants see this, but also much, much more–where weight loss is just a byproduct of truly cleaning up your temple. She sent me a bunch of testimonials, and I’m blown away!

“I feel great. I have lost not only 12.5 pounds —

but fat, too. My love handles/muffin top are gone.

I feel like this program has benefited all aspects of my life.”

— Chantel H., Idaho Falls, Idaho

One thing is for sure:

The body wasn’t meant to deal with the level of highly processed foods and harmful chemicals it’s exposed to these days.

Yes, the body was meant to protect you. But the crazy-high levels of stuff your body must deal with daily is just too much.

Toxins — and the leftovers from unhealthy choices — build up in the body.

And then, they deplete your IMMUNE system. And it all just gets worse from there.

I learned a ton from Robyn’s videos. And I want you to discover these Detox Secrets.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • The 7 types of toxicity — and how to eliminate them, for good
  • Why detoxing (the right way) could finally give you the permanent weight loss you’re seeking
  • The 8 most detoxifying foods — and the 11 most toxic foods (some of these might surprise you)
  • Why detoxing the right way is about MORE than the physical results you’ll experience

>> Join Robyn’s Detox Secrets Video Series. Because it’s only open for my community until the end of the month!

I’m cheering you on!

P.S. Robyn runs her GreenSmoothieGirl Detox online with a group of thousands every January. Here are just a few of the hundreds of glowing testimonials people send her about her science-based Detox program:

“I have done other ‘cleanses,’ but this is by far the best. Thank you, Robyn, for putting in the time, effort, and love to research the ‘best of the best’ programs and put together a useful, DOABLE detox/cleanse for us ‘average’ people, and continually being a source of inspiration, education and, above all, support!” — Karen H., Las Vegas, Nevada

“I absolutely loved the GSG detox program! It was well thought out, comprehensive, informative, and practical. I would highly recommend participating in the full-support option because the additional videos, pre-recorded talks with experts, and the live Q&A calls were invaluable to my success.” — Holly V., Gig Harbor, Washington
