Yada. Yada. Yada.
[image error]
Hey Sensational Soul!
I’m here to remind you that despite the downs that sometimes happen in life, do not give up on your dreams! Last night I found out that I am “not the right fit” for an online publication. They published 2 of my blog articles, but they are not using me any longer because my “content and style” are not what they are looking for with regards to their publication.
Sure, it was a slap in the face…for about 20 minutes
…and then I realized: they are RIGHT. I am NOT the right fit for them. Sure I was bummed because it’s a BIG publication; however, I am surrendering to the Universe and putting my faith into it because there must be something even GREATER for me in store.
So I have decided to continue going after my dreams of writing, publishing more books, and creating more Mastering Your Mindset programs for all of you out there who want help in mastering the law of attraction and in cognitive mindset belief shifting.
Just because this publication doesn’t find me to be a “right fit” doesn’t mean I still can’t conquer all of my dreams. There are over 7 billion people on this planet…surely my blogs and articles are helping SOME SOULS out there in Internet and book land.
This Is What I’m Trying To Say To You
My point? Don’t give up on life and just “yada yada yada” your way through it. KEEP GOING! Sometimes the Universe has even BETTER and more amazing things in store for you than you realize in the present!
I look at it this way: I have never done anything for a publication before this one, so it was good practice. And I’m so thankful for the 2 articles that ARE published! It’s a BIG publication, so this was GREAT practice for me. I’m ON MY WAY and so are YOU with your dreams.
Think about last year and this year: what are some things that have changed for you in a positive way? Celebrate each and every growth you have! And remember: everything in life is temporary. You could be in a totally different place 6 months from now, so…
Keep going! You’ve got this!
Carpe Diem!

Obstacles Are Opportunities
[image error]
Hi Sensational Soul!
Today I was thinking about how a lot of people feel “stuck” in their lives when it comes to receiving blessings and achieving life goals.
Dr. Wayne Dyer explains it like this:
Look at every obstacle as an opportunity.
SO many of us focus on the obstacles, the negativity, the downfalls, etc. The truth is, there IS an opportunity in every obstacle in life. Whenever you are going through something that is not happening as quickly as you’d like, ask yourself, “What is the Universe trying to tell/teach me?” You may not realize it right away, but EVERYTHING happens for a reason!
Your Soul’s Journey
What I’m referring to is the journey of your manifestation. For example, if you want a dream job; but, it’s not happening after so many interviews you go to and participate in (the obstacle). Instead of focusing on thoughts such as, “Will they like me? Am I good enough?”, start focusing on, “Do I like this company? Do I like these people I would be working around 8 hours per day?”
Interview THEM! This is the taking opportunity!
You ARE good enough, but will they fit what you REALLY want? What if not getting the job is a blessing in disguise? Just because the company is “glamorous” or the job pays a lot of money doesn’t mean it holds up to its hype. The Universe wants you to have your dream job, so relax and have faith! Trust the process!
There Is An Opportunity In Every Obstacle
We may not realize it right away, but there is an opportunity. When something isn’t coming as quickly as you’d like, stop and examine the situation. The Universe is most likely trying to make sure you actually want what you want!
Also, it has to rearrange things in order to bring the manifestation to life. But, don’t blindly go down your path. Pay attention to what is happening and think about how you can turn events into opportunities. What is the Universe trying to teach you?
Have faith, relax, and trust the process!
Carpe Diem!

You Have To Be Yourself First and Foremost
[image error]
Hey Sensational Soul!
I often get asked, “How do you sell so many books?” My answer is ALWAYS the same:
You Have To Be Yourself First & Foremost
Whether you are growing your own business, selling products, mentoring, teaching, coaching, finding your soulmate, interviewing for your dream job, losing weight, and anything and everything else…you have to be yourself first and foremost- ALWAYS!
Otherwise, you are not being 100% honest with…YOU. How does this equal TRUE happiness? You know the rule of karma? What goes around comes around. If you are not honest with yourself, it comes back to you. Law of attraction states “like attracts like”, so if you are dishonest with yourself, you’ll get more of dishonesty coming into your physical realm.
Do you just want “anything” to come your way? HELL NO! You want what is BEST FOR YOU! And what is BEST FOR YOUR HAPPINESS! Right??
Your Soul Vibe Attracts Your Soul Tribe
You don’t want to feel desperate because the Universe will bring MORE of the same: feelings of desperation. Also, you’ll attract the WRONG kind of souls who are not a match to you. You WANT your soul-based, soulmate souls to come into your life and STAY in your life. And if you are selling products, you WANT your soul-based souls to purchase from you, too. It creates a much bigger loyalty in the long-run because you are being honest with yourself in the process of selling to others.
And this is the truth. Even if you are manifesting some L-Bs (pounds) to fall off of you, my tip is to ALWAYS be honest with YOURSELF! Are you more likely to quit the sweets cold turkey? Or, are you more likely to introduce a healthier eating lifestyle little bits at a time? Either way is completely, 100% OKAY to do so as long as you are being honest with yourself.
Think Long-Term Results
Us homo sapiens are creatures of habit. The more we practice at something, the longer we stick to it. Besides, instant results don’t always guarantee CONCRETE results. Everything in life is temporary, the only constant is really change in itself. By being able to focus on your long-term results, and by being able to be 100% honest with yourself, you are able to handle life’s twists and turns much more easily because you are on a life-long soulful journey of authenticity. And I don’t know about you, but being authentic is MUCH MORE pleasing in life than not being authentic to ourselves!
It doesn’t mean your manifestations can’t come quickly- of course they CAN! I just mean you’re likely to STICK to YOUR long-term plan when you take steps each day to move towards your manifestations. In addition, by practicing at manifesting each and every day through your Mastering Your Mindset work, it gets easier over time and your brain accepts it as second-nature. In other words, your brain goes on auto-pilot in your habitual cognitive behaviors. This opens up the portal for your manifestations to come into your physical realm! YES!!!!
Marry & Stay Faithful To Your Soul
Stay true and honest to yourself and your soul’s truest needs because this is what you’re likely to STAY COMMITTED TO while vibrating your thoughts, feelings, and actions to SHOW the Universe what you are seriously wanting to come into your physical realm. Think of manifesting as a long-term marriage with your soul. Why would anyone want to BE and STAY in a marriage that isn’t happy?
Have faith in your soul and in the manifestation process: you either get EXACTLY what you want; or, something MUCH BETTER comes FOR YOU!
“To thy own self be true” – William Shakespeare
Ol’ Billy Shakespeare has a point! Success and manifestations DO happen when you are honest and true to yourself. I’m rooting for you, Sensational Soul, you’ve totally got this!
Carpe Diem!

What If…
[image error]
Are you following what your soul is calling you to do EACH DAY?
Why not?
What are your fears that are keeping you feeling stuck in your life?
Why do you have your fears that are keeping you feeling stuck in your life?
What would happen if you were to release your fears for just ONE day?
What COULD happen if you were to release your fears for just ONE day?
What COULD happen if you were to follow your soul’s wants, needs, and cravings for just a few days?
What is the worst-case scenario in releasing ALL of your fears and unleashing your inner badass?
What is the BEST-case scenario in releasing ALL of your fears and unleashing your inner superhero?
Where do you WANT to be and WHO do you WANT to be 3 years from now?
How can you get to this place?
What all is needed in order to get to this place in your life?
What are you ALLOWING yourself to feel regret over 3 years from now?
What CAN you do NOW to help propel yourself forward to the place and stage in your life that you WANT to be and WHO you WANT to be 3 years from now?
And, again, what is the worst that could happen if you go forth and propel yourself?
And again, what is the BEST that could happen if you go forth and propel yourself?
Aren’t you tired of feeling stuck in life?
Aren’t you tired of merely existing in life?
Isn’t your soul CRAVING and ACHING to unleash into the world and SHARE its gifts of FUN, ABUNDANCE, BLESSINGS, and ANYTHING ELSE it TRULY is being called to live and do in the Universe?
Law of attraction states: like attracts like. What are you FOCUSING on the majority of the time each day? What are you FOCUSING on the majority of the time each day in your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions?
It’s time to unleash your inner badass and superhero!
It’s time to LIVE life by your OWN reign!
It’s time to be, allow in, and start Manifesting Your Soul’s New Reality! It’s time to be, allow in, and start gaining an EMPOWERING EDGE in the Law of Attraction!
I did it…and if I can do it, the most stubborn person I know, anyone can SHIFT and start living by their soul’s TRUEST calling!
You’ve got this!
Carpe Diem!

Calling It ALL In!
[image error]
Hey Sensational Soul!
When you wake up each morning, what are your habitual thoughts? Be honest with yourself, now. What are your typical, habitual thoughts while brushing your teeth and turning on the coffee machine? If you’ve answered to yourself something along the lines of producing limiting and scarcity thoughts, it’s okay! We are going to change this starting NOW!
Take a Post-It Note or An Index Card and Write On It: Positive Affirmations!
Set it next to your alarm clock on your nightstand. Each morning when you wake up you are training your brain to start thinking and BEING in a positive state. While you are getting ready in the morning literally start stating positive affirmations, or turn on a YouTube video of a motivational speaker, so that when you are finished getting ready you have set your intentions for your day!
And…you guessed it…every evening when you are climbing into bed, your note is there to remind you to state your positive affirmations and go over the highlights of your day before you fall asleep. Think and state to yourself some of your favorite moments in your day. Mesh them with your positive affirmations when you talk to yourself.
Practice Makes For the Progression & Progression Makes For the Manifestation
You want to train your mindset and routine, consistency, and practice makes for the progression…and progression brings the manifestation! In addition, when you mesh your affirmations with your favorite moments of your day or even your favorite moments of the week (you can do this in the morning or at night), your brain is accepting what IS with what you ARE calling into your physical realm. So call it all in, call in anything and everything your soul craves because you ARE worthy of it!
Set an alarm in your phone to go off 3 or 4 times per day so that you can mentally continue training your mindset with positive affirmations- the calling INTO your physical realm. Train your brain, train your mindset, and train yourself to start listening to what your SOUL is calling into your life.
The Material Will Follow
When you live by your soul’s purpose, your true meaning for your life, the Universe is responding favorably! Yes, the material items are wonderful to have, but what I’m talking about is your soul’s TRUEST happiness. The material items will follow when you live by your soul’s truest PURPOSE.
And SURRENDER to the Universe’s timing and its “how” because it truly knows what makes your soul utterly happy! Don’t worry about the “when”, just relax and have FUN with your life, your journey is supposed to be happy and FUN. So start training your mindset to focus on the POSITIVE in life!
You’ve totally got this!

Everything Connects Together: Science AND Faith
[image error]
I’ve always been a spiritual being. You know, “Pisces” this and “Aquarius” that. As a child my intuition was so strong that I could literally predict the future before it happened. It wasn’t 100% of the time, but it was pretty often. I had mental pictures that would pop into my head and then it literally played out in front me within a few days. When I was a pre-teen I would have dreams at night and they would actually happen in my waking hours the very next day. This happened about 30 or 40 times within a year. It was SO SURREAL. I couldn’t explain it.
Everything Connects Together
Then I went through some real bad emotional and mental trauma. From that point forward I shut down my intuitive soul. I did anything and everything to survive because I was so traumatized by what had happened. My innocence was stolen. My youth was taken from me. I was fast-forwarded into adult stress and worry despite being 3 years away from legally being considered an adult.
Now I understand it all so much better.
While we are quick to claim that the Universe isn’t on our side because we experience something terrible in life, I realize now as an adult that if it wasn’t for the trauma I had experienced I wouldn’t be WHO I AM today. Does this mean I want to go back and re-live it all again? HELL NO! I wish it upon no one. However, I am thankful for the lessons I had learned.
I never want to spend the rest of my life in anger, resentment, cynic, and anything else that keeps me feeling stuck in life.
Everything works together in this Universe. Everything happens FOR you. If it wasn’t for my past trauma, I wouldn’t have realized my soul purpose in this world. If it wasn’t for my past trauma, I wouldn’t have been able to tap into my old-soul wisdom as intricately as I do now in the present. If it wasn’t for my past trauma, I wouldn’t have been able to help THOUSANDS of souls all around this world every single day.
And this right here, right now, IS my purpose, my passion, my true soul’s calling.
I truly feel everything connects TOGETHER:
Science AND faith.
My favorite subject growing up was ALWAYS science. I wanted to be an astronaut or teach science while growing up. And I have always been spiritual; I do believe everything exists for a reason. There is no “right” or “wrong” when it comes to how you CHOOSE to live your life. If it works for you, then it works!
I AM Here To Remind You of Your Power
You get a choice- always. You get to choose how you want to live your life. While life has events and circumstances that ARE out of our control sometimes, try to approach it in a way of curiosity. What is the Universe teaching us? What is the Universe trying to convey to us about ourselves as individuals and as a humanity? What are the reasons and the purpose on a grander scale? And in the long-run?
Everything is temporary, even our own thoughts and feelings. What you focus on gives power to your mindset beliefs. And your mindset beliefs create your physical reality because the neural signals in your brain emit POWERFUL vibrations of matter within the Universe.
The Universe IS responding to you, FOR you.
[image error]
You Get a Choice: React, Or Respond
A reaction is an immediate action to an external stimuli. Reaction is usually SO immediate that there isn’t a processing of evidence before it takes place with regards to a mental state. It’s just so instantaneous that it often has a mental counter-action, almost like the opposite action.
A response, on the other hand, is usually through a processing of evidence beforehand to an external stimuli. A mental response is usually given after one has time to decide on their course of action. It’s a response because it’s a choice of action through mental processing, whether that choice is of supportive or unsupportive action.
Of course, these are my interpretations of these two nouns. You get to CHOOSE how you want to interpret them! Just like you get to CHOOSE how you want to live your life in the present and going forward. You get to CHOOSE how you want to live by your soul’s purpose, or if you want to be in tune with your soul at all. We all have free-will, and this is so powerful because we get to CHOOSE how we want to RESPOND to anything and everything in life.
How do you make your choices when it comes to following your soul’s calling? Are you reacting or responding? Are you following your fears, or are you following your passions? Are you loving yourself and empowering yourself, or are you ignoring your POWERFUL CONNECTION with your soul (thus, the Universe)? Everything works together SIMULTANEOUSLY.
Carpe Diem!

You Change Your Underwear, So Why Not Make Changes In Your Life, Too?
[image error]
Hey Sensational Soul!
When I was a teenager I absolutely loathed change. I feared it to the point of emotional and mental shut-down. I literally went through my days trying to “keep” all of my surroundings within my environment the same. How exhausting! Honestly, though, this is what I truly attempted.
I went through something extremely traumatic (something I had NO control over) and so my teenage mind felt the only way I could “survive/function”was to try and control my environment and keep everything around me “the same” in order to remain in my comfort zone.
Did it work? HELL NO! Change still came out ahead.
While I wasn’t able to embrace change in my younger years because I literally FEARED it so much, I realize now (as an adult) change is something that brings WONDERFUL blessings into our lives.
Let’s Be Honest, Nothing Lasts Forever
Can you remember a time when something lasted forever? While the unknown can produce anxiety, the unknown can also produce BLESSINGS that are completely beyond anything you can comprehend. Really?
REALLY.
Last year when I did my mindset journaling every single day, literally 99% of everything I wanted to manifest actually DID manifest in the SAME year. And you know how I did it? I surrendered to the Universe’s timing and its “how”. I made the choice to TRUST and BELIEVE that the Universe is ALWAYS working FOR me, and I took a HUGE leap of faith in doing this. Yes, it was scary- at first.
Up until last year I still allowed my fears and anxiety to take hold of my life. Was I happy? No. Was I exhausted? Yes. In addition, I was cranky, doubtful, and just plain desperate. So I “gave up” in that I COMPLETELY surrendered to the Universe and put my full trust into it.
My Realization
What I didn’t realize is that this IS the key for your manifestations to appear into the physical realm! Holy CRAP did I have a Eureka moment!
So I journaled every single day with complete CONVICTION. I journaled out my new reality as IS in the present and how THANKFUL I was to already have it, be it, and living in it. I did this DAILY with complete conviction, no matter what happened in my day. I COMMITTED to at least 10 minutes in my day, per day, to shifting my mindset and my emotions.
Through repetition, ALL but 1 thing manifested IN the SAME year! No joke!
You Change Your Underwear, So Why Not Make Changes In Your Life, Too?
Embrace change, the Universe IS working FOR you and it DOES have your back! I promise you this! Release, surrender, have complete faith, take the chance, STOP TRYING TO CONTROL everything around you, and practice, practice, practice your mindset work on a DAILY basis because you DO shift your mindset into a more trusting, positive, open, allowing, and peaceful place. The Universe WILL follow and blessings WILL start coming into your physical realm- and sooner than you realize!
In addition, your fears and anxieties start to pass through you because you realize YOU are in control of your thoughts and your feelings. It’s SO EMPOWERING! I am telling you, this stuff totally works!
Change IS a good thing, it may have taken me many years to come to this realization; but, it’s NEVER “too late” to take your life back, take back your power, and start ALLOWING blessings beyond your comprehension to manifest into your physical realm FOR you!
You End Up Empowering YOUrself
I’ve had many souls already leave testimonial messages and reviews on my Facebook page and Amazon page expressing how their lives ARE changing for the better now. I’m SO happy for everyone!
Don’t allow your fears and anxieties keep you locked up in your life. YOU have the power, YOU have the keys, YOU have the ability to CHANGE your life for the better by learning how to work WITH the Universe. I believe in you! You can do this!
PS- I took everything I did through my mindset work last year and put these methods and prompts into THIS JOURNAL WORKBOOK so that I can spread the knowledge, share the wealth, and help YOU to embrace change, too.
Carpe Diem!
