Meet your hosts Cindy Bush, Executive Managing Director of eWomenNetwork and Linda Wisler Luft of Fireball Coaching and Consulting:

     Are you living a life filled with PASSION?  I’m not talking about sex!  I’m talking about having a life filled with things you love to do—things that bring you joy.  Are you excited to get out of bed each day to live your life?  If you answered YES, that’s great.  If you answered NO, if not now, when would be the time to create the life you desire?  Wouldn’t it be fantastic to be ‘fired up’ about your life? 

If you are just going through the motions of everyday living and the years are flying by, I challenge you to create a VISION of how you would like your life to be. 

• What would your ideal day be like? 
• How about your ideal week? 
• Can you imagine your ideal year? 

I’m sure you heard the story of how the actor, Jim Carey wrote himself a check for $10 million.  Not long after that, he got paid $10 million for the Mask 2.  He certainly got fired up about making money and it worked.  He certainly knew what he wanted.Jack Canfield of Chicken Soup for the Soul fame, had a list of 15 initial passions—most of which have happened for him.  This is someone who knows who he is and what he loves.  He also had no problem with thinking BIG.

•  How long is your list of PASSIONS? 
•  Do you know what brings you JOY? 
•  Do you know what FIRES YOU UP and makes you FEEL MOST ALIVE? 
•  Are you able to THINK BIG and create your life the way you want it? 
•  Do you have a CLEAR VISION for your life?

When I attended my first Central Ohio Coaches meeting, I discovered the wonderful career of coaching.  My life had been very successful up to that time.  I had been a sales person—winning contests, gaining achievement club status and making great money.  At this meeting, however, I discovered my PASSION for coaching.  Upon hiring a coach for myself, I was able to make my own list of passions, get a clear idea of a vision for how I wanted my life to be, learn how to walk through fears, set goals for myself, be accountable and continue to take action steps.  For the first time in a while, I got really fired up about my life and I still am!  My husband jokes about how I don’t sleep anymore.  It is so true that if you love what you do, it isn’t work.

One of the biggest lessons I have learned by teaming up with my coach is that I get to choose how I want my life to be. I get to choose how I spend my time.  I get to choose what I want to manifest in my life. It is great to have a partner who supports, encourages and also calls me forth to be the best I can be. She doesn’t tell me what to do….she helps me to uncover  what I already know.  She helped me to add so many other tools to my toolbox for life.

In living my vision, I am creating a life filled with fun, joy, fulfillment, connection and passion.  I am spending more time with my passions and I’m not talking just about coaching.  My husband and I are taking the time to go to dinner, to the movies or go biking.  When one of my daughters wants to spend time with me, I do it.  They give me so much joy.  I walk my dog, Buddy, just about every day.  I also spend time with my two cats, Willie and Serena. I am working out again (finally!). I planted a vegetable garden.  I am taking pictures.  I am scheduling time with friends.  I am coaching and conducting workshops. I am attending network meetings.  I am attending leadership retreats.  I am following those things that MAKE ME FEEL MOST ALIVE.

What are your passions?  Do you know what gives you joy?  What makes you feel most alive?  Are you moving towards this aliveness?  I challenge you to get fired up about your life.  Woohoo!!

 Ideas for getting fired up:  (When you are clear, what you want will show up in your life.)

*         Make a list of your passions—pick the top five and move towards them—what you put your attention on, grows.

*         Schedule things on your calendar that bring you joy—if you put it on your calendar, you are making it a priority.

*         Journal about your ideal day in the present tense and be excited as if it is already happening—visualization really works.  Try it!

*         Be accountable to someone in your life—in this way, it is more likely to happen.

*         Make a dream board or vision board—you are creating a visual for attracting what you want in your life.

“I had always wanted an adventurous life.  It took a long time to realize that I was the only one who was going to make an adventurous life happen to me.”  Richard Bach

Creating a morning ritual is something I learned about in this last year at my Life Coach Leadership Retreats through the Coaches Training Institute.

I am happy to say that these retreats were held at The Mother Tree Retreat Center in Sebastopol, California.  Each morning, our leadership group would go out in the field and breath and stretch and greet the morning.  As you can see, every morning even the turkeys had a morning ritual!

It was so beautiful because we overlooked a valley that looked different each time I was there in all of the seasons.  After stretching, we then did a process called Shintido.  We saluted the east- for the spring season–new birth, babies, flowers blooming, new learnings, beginnings.  We saluted the south for the summer season-cookouts and barbecues, the teenage years, living fearlessly, everything in full bloom.  We saluted the west for the fall season-colors changing, adult life, cool crisp air, football games.  We saluted the north for the winter season-snow and ice, maturity in life, surrender, acceptance, reflection, end of life.  We also then saluted Mother Sky, the earth, the center and each other.

What I loved most about having this morning ritual is that by going outside first thing in the morning and turning different directions to look around me, made me feel appreciation for everything I saw-the trees, the sky, the fog, the birds, the hills, my leadership tribe.  It also made me feel tremendous gratitude for all of the phases of my life.  Also, stretching and breathing at the beginning made me be present, to slow down and experience the ‘NOW.’

Here are my coaching questions for today:

What can you do each morning that will make you look around and feel gratitude? How might your day be different if you felt appreciation right at the start of your day?

Might taking time to breath and stretch when you awake cause you to be calmer and more present all day?
How about taking 15 minutes to read, journal, meditate?  How might that help you by starting out this way?
One of the things I have also enjoyed during morning ritual at The Mother Tree, is observing and listening to all of the animals in the morning-mostly the birds and the turkeys.  When I looked at my pictures, I laughed because I saw that the turkeys have a morning ritual also.  It looked like they were breathing, stretching and doing Shintido just like us!

I hope you will think about creating a morning ritual.  It just might change your life!

Here are a few ideas for creating a morning ritual:

• Writing in a gratitude journal-list three things for which you are grateful
• Sitting in quiet for 15 minutes-they say any mediation is better than none at all
• Reading from inspirational books-just open to a page and read-it might be just what you need to hear
• Visualizing your life—picture in your mind how it feels and what it looks like to live the life you want
• Play a song that you absolutely love and that gets you fired up-instead of watching television

As Eckhart Tolle says in The Power of Now, the whole essence of Zen consists in walking along the razor’s edge of Now—to be so utterly, so completely present that no problem, no suffering, nothing that is not who you are in your essence, can survive in you.  In the Now, in the absence of time, all your problems dissolve.

Suffering needs time; it cannot survive in the Now.
