Mindfulness takes consistency and effort........... Kate Penwarn Thompson

Recently I was thinking about how I could explain to my clients about mindfulness, and mindset, in a way that made more sense and that was also a visual tool. I originally came up with the three "C's" and then it expanded into Five "C's".

So what are these five things that can help you begin to change your mindset around the things you don't want and believe that you can create the things that you do want. The first "C" stands for Cancel. Let me tell you a little more about that.

Here are 5 tips on canceling a negative thought

Acknowledge the thought and remind yourself that it is only a thought, not a fact.
Acknowledge your feeling and let it pass through.
Take a few deep breaths and focus on the present moment.
Practice gratitude daily to help shift your mindset to a more positive one.
Talk to a friend or family member about the thought and get their perspective.

So let's take the first step. To acknowledge the thought you have be aware of it, which is being mindful. So many thoughts come through your brain every day and are generally very familiar therefore making it difficult to acknowledge if you're not practicing mindfulness.

Here’s 5 tips to practice mindfulness

Focus on your breath: Take a few moments to simply focus on your breath and the sensation of inhaling and exhaling.
Take a mindful walk: When you take a walk, pay attention to the sights, smells, and sounds around you. Notice how your body moves and shifts with each step.
Enjoy the present moment: Take a few moments to appreciate the little things in life. Notice the beauty around you, the taste of your food, the warmth of the sun.
Practice acceptance: Allow yourself to feel whatever emotions come up, and observe them without judgement.
Set aside time for yourself: Dedicate some time each day to practice mindfulness. This could be as short as 10 minutes or as long as an hour.

Practicing these tips can help you to begin to CANCEL unwanted thoughts causing negative feelings that stop you from creating the things you desire. Learning to disrupt negative thoughts also increases your belief that you can achieve the desires of your heart.

Some essential Oils that help to increase awareness, lock in belief, and cancel negative thoughts are: Clarity, Believe, Transformation, Inner Child, and my new favorite Inner Child. You can go HERE to check out these oils from Young Living.

I have a whole online program that goes hand in hand with these principles. You can get a free guide HERE!

Or you can jump to the program and check it out HERE!

I also have a few free consults available. If you struggle with moving forward, negative thoughts, or any combination, you can set up a free consult with me HERE!

10 Tips About the Law of Polarity

A winner is a dreamer who never gave up..........Nelson Mandela

Today we're going to talk about the 7the Law, the Law of Polarity. This law simply states that one is really two.

What does the Law of Polarity mean?

The Law of Polarity states that everything in life has an opposite. This law can be applied to many different areas of life, from physical objects to feelings and emotions. It is a fundamental concept in many spiritual and metaphysical disciplines, and it suggests that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

It also suggests that for every force, there is an opposing force, and for every expression of energy, there is an equal and opposite expression of energy. This law can help us to better understand the world around us and the interactions between people.

What are five things that tell us we are not practicing the law of polarity?

Not taking responsibility for our actions and their consequences.
Not recognizing the positive potential in every situation.
Not recognizing that we have the power to create our own reality.
Not understanding that we are all connected and have an effect on each other.
Not understanding that we can create a better world by choosing kindness and understanding over hatred and judgment.

When we are not taking care of thoughts that create actions we don't desire we are operating in 'lack' and therefore cannot reach our full potential. When we are mindful of our thoughts and feelings our outcomes are way more successful.

We have the potential and power to create what we desire, not what we don't.

When we understand we are all connected and we do have an effect on each other and ourselves when we are choosing kindness instead of hatred or judgment. Judgment has no place in our lives as it prevents us from moving into what God and the Universe have planned for us. "Judgment is mine, says the Lord." Romans 12: 19-21.

What are 5 tips to practice the Law of Polarity?

Identify your polarity - Be aware of the two sides of any issue or situation and accept them both.
Develop your understanding - Take time to explore and understand the two sides of any polarity.
Practice non-judgment - Refrain from judging either side of the polarity.
Act with intention - Make conscious decisions in how you interact with the two sides of the polarity.
Find balance - Aim to bring balance to the two sides of the polarity and create harmony.

Here are a few opposites that can and will affect your life if you choose the negative side.

Balance vs insecurity. If you are not balanced you are not grounded and this will cause extremes in thinking, feeling, acting, and outcome.

Joy vs Sadness. Choosing joyfulness and encouraging positive energy in times of restlessness and feeling uneasy.

Hopeful vs Hopeless. When you lose hope you lose sight of your visions, goals, and dreams. Choosing hope will help you to reconnect with a feeling of strength and grounding, restoring hope for tomorrow.

Mindful vs Oblivious. Being mindful, and practicing mindfulness, creates awareness of your thinking and helps to change patterns of not heeding thoughts that lead to unwelcome outcomes. Choosing to be mindful leads you to manifest your desires and uplifts your belief that you can achieve them.

Clarity vs Vagueness. Having clarity around where you desire to be in your life will always give you insight, instead of feeling like you are in a fog unable to make clear and precise decisions.

Some of the essential oils I recommend here are a blend of Frankincense, Lavender, and Stress Away. The components in these three oils can bring balance and grounding which stops us from going to extremes. It will also increase spiritual awareness, promote prayer and meditation, improve attitude, and uplift spirits. Another oil here is Peace and Calming, which helps with emotions like fear of losing control.

Other oils you might like to try are Joy, which speaks for itself, and Into the Future which inspires determination and a pioneering spirit to create a strong emotional feeling of being able to reach one's potential. Hope can be used to move forward, and Transformation reaches into the deepest recesses of memories as it empowers and upholds changes you desire to make in your belief system.

That's it for today have an awesome week!

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results................. Willie Nelson.

Everyone can have negative thoughts and do them on a regular basis, though dwelling on them can lead to becoming stuck in them and causing us to be frustrated, overwhelmed, and derailed in our goals and dreams. Changing thoughts can be challenging if you have a tendency to focus on where you've been instead of where you want to go.

Here are a few tips on how you can change your thoughts.

Five tips for changing negative thoughts.

Take a few moments to acknowledge the thoughts and feelings that come up. Recognizing them as valid can help you take a step back and let the thoughts pass.
When you start to have negative thoughts, challenge them with positive statements. For example, if your thought is “I’m not good enough,” you can challenge it by saying “I am capable and strong.”
Stop comparing yourself to others. Everyone has their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and comparing yourself to someone else’s successes or failures won’t help you.
Find a distraction. Doing something that requires all your focus, such as a puzzle or a new
hobby can help you forget about negative thoughts and replace them with something positive.
Talk to someone you trust. Talking about your negative thoughts can help you gain perspective and feel supported. A friend or a Life Coach can help you look at the situation differently and find a healthier way of thinking.

Getting stuck generally means we are focused on what we don't want. The Universal Law of Attraction states that what you focus on expands, whether that be negative or positive. This law is at work whether you are aware of it or not and may be the reason you are beating yourself up over not achieving your desire, and not believing you can.

How do I focus on what I want instead of what I don't want?

Focusing on what you want instead of what you don't want is a great way to manifest the life you desire. Here are a few tips to get you started:

Identify what you want: Spend some time writing down or visualizing the specific things you want to experience in life.
Visualize your goals: Spend a few minutes each day visualizing those goals and how achieving them would make you feel.
Take action: Take small steps every day to move closer to achieving your goals.
Stay positive: When you find yourself focusing on what you don't want, take a deep
breath and refocus on what you do want.
Celebrate successes: Celebrate the small successes along the way, as they will help keep
your focus on the positive.

By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to manifesting the life of your dreams!

Why the heck is it so hard to change?

Change is inevitable.

Even if you resist change, it will still happen.

So why wait, or fret about changes that happen in your life?

Over the last couple of years, a lot has changed in my life. Some changes for the better, some not so good.

For instance, once upon a time, I was naive enough to think that there were some things that would never change. Things like, I would move in the same circle of friends, I would continue down the same path in my career, I would never think of moving or selling my home, and I was staying in my church forever.

If you relate to any of that then you know that change happens whether you like it or not. Friends suddenly move on, that career becomes not what you envisioned, and the Universe has a different plan that is not in a direction you can even imagine.

The most important thing to realize about change is its growth! It's learning to flow with the stream instead of fighting against the tide.

It's understanding that you may grow in a different direction from friends and colleagues and when that happens it's OK to make new friends and new contacts.

Moving and changing to grow and expand is part of fulfilling your purpose.

So, why the heck is it so hard to change?

There are a couple of things:

1. Old habits are hard to shake.

2. You have an enormous desire, though you don't know how to make it happen so you don't make a move.

3. You don't believe that your dreams and goals can really happen.

4. You are afraid of failure and the repercussions that you perceive come with that.

5. You think you need to be perfect before you can achieve your goals and dreams.

All of these reasons are just thoughts coming from feelings that are preventing you from moving forward, changing your present, to achieve your future.

If this sounds like you, I can help you.

How do I get unstuck?

How do you feel when you get stuck?

Do you feel overwhelmed, burned out, or just lose your motivation and inspiration?

I'm here to tell you don't beat yourself up because everyone at some point in their journey gets stuck.

There are ways to get unstuck and out of overwhelm and they're not as difficult as you might think.

These past couple of months have been a little tough in my household. When you have a large family something is always going on, and when it's two or more then it can get a little hairy. By that I mean, challenging!

So, how do I cope? I'm going to give you some very easy things that I do that can get you back on track with your goals, dreams, relationships, and your life!

1. The first thing is don't beat yourself up. It's OK to pause! By pause I mean take a breath. Get off social media, or get on and have fun whichever one is less stressful. SM can get overwhelming if you are using it for your biz, and not seeing the results you want. Then again, it can be fun to do some silly reels and also watch some!

2. Don't hustle all the time. Consistency is what pays off. That's in all areas of your life. After cooking meals for my family for decades, I have to remind myself it's ok to let them cook. They are all adults and CAN fend for themselves. If you are cooking, enjoy it! Take the time to enjoy making that new recipe and take in all the wonderful smells of the seasonings and veggies you are chopping and dicing.

3. Do take time to meditate and/or pray. I get stuck mainly because my mind gets cluttered and I don't have clarity. When I recognize that, I immediately get out my Young Living Essential Oils and grab one that appeals to me as well as one I know will help clear my thoughts. Using Essential Oils will help you get unstuck much faster than if you don't use them.

Remember feeling stuck or overwhelmed comes from your thoughts. Changing your thoughts and clearing your mind will immediately get you going in the direction you want to again.

One thing to remember here is our thoughts attract similar thoughts. So, if I am having low vibrating thoughts then that's where my mind is going to continue going unless I stop it.

Here's a link to a freebie S.T.O.P. that will help you from getting stuck in the first place!

Have an awesome week!

And, you really want to get out of this rut, move forward, and make positive changes in your life.

I help women who are unhappy juggling life and family get back on track in one hour a week with my proven plan of success of using essential oils.

You don’t have to wait……………you can have it all.

My Story:

I've been through many life-changing moves in my life. It started with getting a divorce more than a couple of decades ago which changed the whole path to my future. I left my marriage and got divorced when I was twenty-eight years old with two small children.

I didn't have a job, I was a stay-at-home mum. I hadn't been employed in the workplace for nearly five years and the small allowance given by Social Services was not even close to being able to support me or my kids. In fact, I was pretty broke!

The only other income I had was literally singing for my supper. I was a well-known Singer/Actress in a very popular group at the time and if not for a couple of jobs I managed to get every week singing, I'm not sure how we would have survived.

But, instead of getting bogged down wondering how I was going to support myself and my kids, I used my genius talent and left that divorce behind me. It turned out my divorce made me incredibly strong and independent again. I got moving and doing on to the life I always wanted to create.

I kicked my ex out and started my new life!

I started my new life feeling free even though finances were a bit of a struggle. But, because I believed I could make it all work, it did. Money was not as much as I would have liked, but it was there when I needed it and I was happy. I missed a meal or two, or three or four, but the kids were fed and I needed to lose a few pounds anyway!

After that came lots of changes. I attracted my soul mate, got married, and became pregnant almost immediately. When I was seven months along, my amazing hubby left his cushy Public Service job and started a business. Never regretted it!

A new path began again!

Suddenly, we were generating our own income which should have been a little scary, but once again I always believed we would succeed, and guess what? We did!

The business was booming and all was well when our worst nightmare came true. Our business manager spent every penny of the company's money and left the country. We were back to square one with a huge debt, and now four kids.

Well, with income being very scarce, I decided I needed to earn some income. I'd only worked as a professional entertainer for years and had let that lapse a bit having had two extra children in the first two years we were married. I had to work around them, and leave room for amazing hubby to start again as well.

You won't believe my next move!

I decided to become an Avon Lady. You know, ding dong, door to door, selling out of that little book that came out every three weeks! I think my hubby rolled on the floor laughing, but not for long. You see, I believed I would succeed and succeed I did. I put my genius talent to work again, and in three months I was one of the top three sales representatives in the State.

Within six months, I was asked to be a Stand-In Manager and manage an Avon District for a Manager on leave. About twelve months into my little adventure, I was hired by Corporate Avon in Australia as a Manager with my own District, salary, expense account, and my own car. I wasn't bringing home two bob anymore, I was a contributor to the family income.

That was the good part. The hard part was my new District was #Thirty out of Thirty-three in the state. I had my work cut out for me. Well, I'm here to tell you that in six months my District was #Three and nobody was laughing anymore!

My hubby built another Consulting business while I worked at Avon and we were once again back to being abundant in all areas of our life. The Law of Attraction and Deliberate Creation in action! We didn't even know these Laws of the Universe were at work in our lives, we just believed in our genius talent!

The surprise move that came next!

Over the next few years, we were financially stable again and I resigned from what had become a grueling time-sucking job at Avon and moved back into the entertainment industry. During this time amazing brilliant hubby had come up with the idea to write one of the first Anti-Virus programs for computers in the world.

Well, life got pretty sweet, and we were rolling along on the golf course in Brisbane most days when he asked me about a big surprise move! How did I feel about moving to America? I never hesitated. Woo Hoo! I was totally in.

We began to pack up what we could take with us, our clothes, furniture, my piano and called the movers. We rented the house, said good-bye and hubby, myself and four kids with half a suitcase each, boarded a plane one Saturday morning in January to start our new adventure.

Everyone thought we were crazy but I knew this was one of the most amazing kick-butt moves I'd ever made in my life.

Then reality set in and I found another new path!

When I actually moved countries, I had become very successful as both a songwriter and performer in my hometown. It never occurred to me that I would not continue my professional music and acting career, but the struggle to re-establish myself was real and after few years I realized that I had to change paths yet again.

I took a year to just find myself and then a whisper came to my ear about adopting a child that needed a home from foster care. It moved very quickly from a thought to an actuality. Within a couple of days, we were in a ten-week course for foster/adoptive parents. We found pure potential when we had no clue that the ability or desire to do this lay deep inside of us. This became one of the most rewarding and fulfilling journeys in my life.

At the end of that ten weeks, I got a phone call and our new family began. Twin boys, twenty-months old came for the weekend and stayed forever. They were the first of about fifty foster children and the beginning of adopting eight children, which includes three sets of twins!

I loved my journey of being a foster/adoptive parent, but our house got full to overflowing, and even though most of our children are grown now, I am still an advocate and resource for Foster/Adoptive Parents.

How I decided to become a Law of Attraction Life Coach.

Many of our new children had been born drug and alcohol addicted, so I dealt with many different physical and mental issues that emerged in them as they began to grow up. I spent hours with our children in therapies of all kinds.

While dealing with Physical, Occupational, Speech Therapy, and a few psychiatrists along the way, I learned coping skills for managing different disabilities, and mental illnesses. I also learned how to have a good relationship with birth families in difficult circumstances.

I also had an older family who was going through teenage years and found myself the local mom and counselor. Many a teenager came into our home crying and left feeling better about themselves and their situation. Although I was technically being a Life Coach to those kids, I didn't officially gain my certifications until much later

In the last couple of decades, I've been constantly changing the path of my life and being successful at doing so. I've also realized that change for some is not easy and making a major move in life can leave you overwhelmed, and exhausted, unable to deal with the feelings around it.

I've also worked with foster and adoptive parents for the last twenty years, who also have to move on when a child is moved to a different placement, and their feelings are very similar to the emotions surrounding any life change.

As well, I've since been touched by divorce in my older adult children's lives. The biggest stumbling block they've had is moving on to their new life after divorce.

As I 've been there supporting them through their pain, I realized that I wanted to help others find their genius talent to get doing and moving and get their emotional energy flowing again. Through coaching, especially Seven + Seven Essentials, I love seeing them find their new life of joy and happiness. I love working as a coach alongside essential oils, as the breakthroughs come so much faster when the power of oils is added.

As a certified Aroma Freedom Technique Practioner, I have not only found the power of healing the mind with oils, but also healing the body.

I'm a certified Life Coach in Causal Coaching, Law Of Attraction, Money, Health, and Essential Oils. I find that most women who have left marriage not only have emotions surrounding it but quite often now battle with their health and their finances. I triumphed over all of these issues, I moved on and never looked back. I can help you.

Where I am today.

Today, I am a confident mother of twelve children, a partner to an amazing man, and stepping out into everything the Universe and God have for me. I value myself as a businesswoman, a wife, a mother, and no longer fear a change in direction. I embrace all parts of me, creative, physical, mental, spiritual, and nourish each part of myself, with self-coaching, nutrition, and the power of essential oils.
