We’re in the home stretch and I am sure if you are like me there is so much to do. What do I do in times like these when stress starts to override? GRATITUDE. The perspective of gratitude is a gift. Every day I choose to be grateful beyond the obvious mental and physical benefits. Being thankful can improve larger setbacks I hear from my clients like your positivity, mood, it can help with sleep, decrease chronic pain, risk for disease, anxiety and depression and build immunity! If there was a pill that could cover these symptoms everyone would take it. I suppose not unlike tapping and tuning into our breath. It’s all within you. Heck, so if we know why aren’t more people doing it!
Gratefulness can also help you achieve more success. People like positive people and are more apt to help them. Speaking of success. We have a lot to celebrate with the Opportunity Knocks podcast. We achieved 95 episodes and released 20 this year! I have had the honor to interview so many inspiring men and women in both the business and wellness segments from storytellers, actors, to an acquisitions expert in hospitality real estate, to leading Fintech entrepreneurs, to celebrity mediums and the Founder of Mendocino Farms the highest grossing sales per square for restaurants. I am grateful for the time I shared with each of them and the gift they have given to the world. Their success stories and their astonishing accomplishments motivate people to move forward and know that they too can take a risk to realize their dream. You realize many times to create their success they had to relinquish control. Read that again. Yes, they had to let go. I’m honored to bring their personal stories forward. One thing I am told time and time by both the guests as well as my listeners is that I am able to tap into and help capture parts of them that so few people know. It’s the coach in me that can hear things beneath the surface that is not afraid to draw it out in them.
So what are you waiting for Get Down{loaded} and tune in to the Opportunity Knocks podcast this holiday season. While you start to wrap those presents or sit on the couch to regroup before your next family event. Bring this inspiration not only to yourself but do it for all those that surround you. My goal in any experience or interaction is to always walk away with one nugget of information and I am certain my guests will do this for you!
Cheers to a beautiful holiday season. 2024 is going to be another transformative year and cause for soul celebration. May the light within you shine out to the world. Keep your heart open and radiate love to all.
Be well. Do well.
All my Best,
