Many years ago, I was walking back to my apartment and was feeling kind of blah not for any reason, I was just in a rut. The thought occurred to me “Walk down a different street,” and so I did. No idea why, but easy enough. Halfway through the block, I spotted this shabby chic red spotted chair that someone was getting rid of. It was so perfect for my Grecian-style entryway. I was looking for a chair that fits in. I was stunned. I smiled, divine intervention doing its magic again!

Years later I was writing my book Courage to SPARKLE, and I was fighting with my inner critic. I pulled that chair next to my desk. Every time my inner critic/editor chimed in, I smiled and patted the chair and said ‘I get it, you’re playing editor, that’s fine, but we’re not ready yet for you. But soon my friend.’ It calmed me down. Yes, I have a very rich inner life.

When I feel in a rut or just blah about my day or my life, I remind myself of the power of walking down another street, both physically and mentally. And out of that need, I created a simple and easy-to-apply technique to do that. I called it my 7 Sassy Simple Words that can change your thoughts and change your life.

Clients and groups report back that by applying this technique, they are able to address and replace old non-productive thoughts that lead you to a dead end and replace them with taking a new route mentally as well.

As a motivational, resiliency, and mindfulness speaker in NYC, I’m often coaching a client on how to take their business or career to the next level, nurture a develop a loving relationship, or boost their confidence. I’m brought into groups to provide powerful tools to enhance, engagement, productivity, and basically the Courage to SPARKLE. I often find it’s the simplest day-to-day actions that can make the most difference.

I’d welcome hearing from you, what are the ways you walk down a different street when you need to reboot or move through a rut! I’d love to hear from you.

If you’re a heart-centered go-getter who craves greater meaning, success, and fulfillment in your life both personally and professionally, and you are ready to make those shifts, feel free to book a Discovery Call with me.

Hey, thanks for tuning in and not tuning out, what the world needs are people who are tuned in and not tuned out!
