Secrets to a Fantabulous Life!!

Ok, so Fantabulous is not a word you'll find in the dictionary, but that is kind of the point here! In order to live a Fantabulous life, you have to stop doing the things you think you are SUPPOSED to do and do the things you really LOVE to do. Life is short. Stop messing around and seriously start having some fun!!

Secret #1: First you actually need to know what it is you really LOVE to do. I bet you've forgotten. Maybe you used to bike, paint, hike, read, write, do yoga, swim, knit...whatever those things you "used to do" before doing what you "have to do" got in the way. Carve out time for them again. Yes, you do have the time, you've just filled that space with "stuff." Of course I understand you have responsibilities, but you CAN make time for things you love. In fact, the people in your life will probably thank you for it. They'll find you happier, less stressed, and you'll probably encourage others to do the same. Life is fun, exciting, adventurous...don't let it pass you by!!!

Secret #2: Stop apologizing for who you are! Be that person that lives inside that desperately wants to come out!! Raw, vulnerable, authentic!! That's who I want to know. I don't want to be friends with people who are acting out role of a person they think they are supposed to be. I want the truth!! I have friends like this in my life and I love that they are free and that they trust me enough to be genuine around me. This is where true beauty and friendship is. Surface relationships suck and they don't last! Let us see who you truly are!! You were born on purpose! Who you are is important to the world. If you hide that or alter it, we're all losing out!! If you've lost her(him), spend some time finding that person again. Spend time alone, in nature, or whatever your place of peace is, meditate, talk with a counselor, but dig deep and pull out that awesome badass that lives inside!!

Secret # 3: Once you discover what you want and who you are....let go of the shit in your life that doesn't fit with your desired life!!! This could be baggage from the past that needs to be forgiven and healed. This could be behaviors or activities that you need to add or stop. For Ex: If you really want to be fit and healthy but you smoke 3 packs a day, eat donuts and drink soda everyday, you will need to give that stuff up!!! Yes, all of it...asap!!

If you have people in your life that do not treat you fairly, good friends that have your back, do some de-cluttering and let them go. I realize this is no easy or overnight task, but start to move away from those that belittle you or don't believe in you. Eventually, when you become the new you, people that resonate with you and treasure you, will show up and replace those that you had to let go of. I promise!!

Secret #4: Share the Love! Now that you are free and living your most authentic life...spread it around like there is no tomorrow! Live. Love. Laugh. Be Awesome. Teach Others. Make new friends. Be adventurous. Take Trips. Talk to strangers. Take up Yoga. Learn a New Language. Life is ours to live. We are here to help others. The world needs more people to be on FIRE and less people complaining about not being on FIRE.

Secret #5: This secret is definitely not meant to be at the end because it is actually the most important aspect of living a Fantabulous life!!

Have Gratitude!! Be thankful for what you have and who you are....right at this very moment. Be thankful for your past, your failures, your health, the $5.00 in your wallet...all of it. It does not matter how you got here. It does not matter how much money you have. It does not matter that you've made mistakes in your life. You are not that person anymore. You are different now. You are aware that you messed up. Now you will choose differently. Today, you will not eat the donut or drink the soda. Today you will eat healthy. Tomorrow you will do the same; and the day after that and the day after that. Now your life is different. You are happy. You are thankful. You are mindful of your new direction. You are on your way to your Fantabulous Life!!

Secret #6: Do not compare your Fantabulous Life to anyone else!! Your Life is Unique to you and it does NOT matter if it matches what anyone else is doing. Your life is the BEST LIFE FOR YOU. Period. End of Story. Don't design a life that looks like someone else. Now, if you know someone that is happy, and they tell it's because they eat healthy and exercise every day and you DECIDE to do those things as well, that is fine. But do not compare your results with anyone else. You are on YOUR own journey. Be happy and grateful in that!!

Please share your journey with us! Most importantly, reach out if you need help digging into all that you have hidden inside!! Love and friendship is searching for you!!
