Health and Life Coach for Maximizing Happiness

2020 is coming to an end. To create some real positive change for the next year, it's time to really think about, and write about all the wins, and loses from last year and set your intentions for 2021. 

My parent's house burned to the ground last Novembere. It was a tragedy. And an amazing learning opportunity on how having too much stuff weighs us down, and how buying, and keeping less stuff means more happiness. 

It's easy to be inspired to make big lifestyle changes short term, but how do you make them last and give you the happier life you deserve?

These relatively easy exercises will change your mindset and allow more lasting happiness no matter what's happening in your life or where you're starting from. 

Technology has both a strong positive and negative affect on our lives. This recording helps you learn how to figure out and take action on when your phone, laptop, tablet, social media and more are serving and not serving your life.

It's easy to get caught up in hacks and trendy wellness stuff, but you must have a solid foundation of health to feel the true vitality and happiness that you deserve. This is a reminder of those four necessary pillars of health. 

Getting healthy often takes more than changing just one aspect in your life. I overview all the most important aspects of getting healthy. 

It's easy to get overwhelmed by anxiety. But understanding the underlying causes - our fight or flight mechanism, and how to manage it, can release us from anxiety and bring us a happier, calmer existence. 

It's hard to believe, but the biggest thing holding us back in our lives is ourselves. And the best way to stop getting in the way of our own happiness is through positive affirmations and reprogramming our thinking. 

The Ancient Stoic Philosophy is gaining new popularity as it's ancient wisdom shines the light on ways for people in today's world to experience less unhappiness and more happiness. 

Money may not be the key to happiness, but it can be the cause of endless stress. Understand your current relationship with money and changing it to a more positive one can lead to a much more stress-free life financially. 

It's easy to forget one incredibly essential aspect of good health: positive relationships. Learn how they affect your wellness and how to get more out of your relationships! 

It can be very difficult to find compassion sometimes when you're at odds with someone. But taking the time to understand their point of view can create a better, happier world for you, them, and everyone! 

Sleep is absolutely essential for your health and well being. It's time to start taking your sleep more seriously. 

In order to really accelerate our self-growth journey, maximize our potential, minimize our flaws and experience true radical self-acceptance, we need to get what I call, 'self-woke.' This recording helps you learn how. 

To truly experience long term growth and happiness, we need to reach a deeper level of self-awareness, or the term I recently starting to use, being 'Self Woke.' 

It's been a hell of a year. But the best way to move forward, learn from our mistakes and set ourselves up for our best year ever is to get down all the positives and negatives from last year and plan how we want our next year to go. This is about more than some superficial resolutions!
