There’s no magic pill, daily ritual, or any amount of money that will bring true, sustained inner bliss. Listen in and learn the art of present moment living so you can tap into your innate sense of happiness. It’s waiting for you! How happy are you, really? Take one walk through the bestseller section of the bookstore, and it’s easy to see that the pursuit of happiness is a popular topic!  It’s true - happiness and inner peace is something that all of us want, but it seems to be elusive to many.  There seems to be no “secret” to achieving true happiness - there’s no magic pill, no daily ritual, no amount of money, or anything else that will guarantee a fulfilling experience here on earth. But what if someone told you, that you could be happy no matter what?  Regardless of what we are led to believe, our experience of life is largely dependent upon our interpretation of life’s events. That means, that no matter what happens, it is how we choose to see the ins and outs of our life journey.  It is through the practice of present moment living that we begin to slow down our knee-jerk reactions to what life brings our way. It is in the heart of mindfulness that we reach clarity, and are finally able to choose how we experience our walk here on the planet.  If you’d like to be mentored by Kristine Carlson, check out her reinvention and renewal program where you take a deep dive into who you are now (and where you are going): What Now?

Finding our way through change isn’t about adopting a new persona. Rather, it’s about learning to inhabit your true self and stepping into your new chapter, healed and fully whole. As our former life dies, so do we. You may be familiar with the term “identity crisis”, which refers to when one’s sense of self is challenged.  Although the expression has been minimized through mainstream media, the truth is that many of us will experience reincarnations or rebirths of our sense of self throughout our lives. And it’s not bad. It’s not wrong. It’s growth. Undergoing massive change or trauma can all cause us to question our sense of self-identity. For example: following the loss of a partner, an individual may question who they are without their loved one.   Once we recognize that we are actually the creators of our self-identity empowers us to embrace the pause between places - so we can dive deep and reclaim our new sense of self. So how do you find out who you truly are, now?  It’s not about adopting a new persona and playing a role. Reclaiming your self-identity is about dropping all assumptions about who you were and who you should be now and aligning with your truest self in its divine form. Listen in to today’s episode of the Reinvent Your Life series to learn: How to feel whole again  How to challenge self-imposed labels on who you are  How to step confidently into your new chapter of life as YOU   Although the process of reclaiming your self-identity requires mindful attention, it’s always a worthy pursuit. Because when you are in the expression of your truest self, you begin to live whole; fully healed.    As Ralph Ellison so wisely said, “When I discover who I am, I’ll be free.”    To help you ride this Covid-coaster of change, Kristine Carlson has created a guided meditation that she’s offering for absolutely FREE. You can go claim yours today by going here: https://kristinecarlson.com/goldenpause This meditation will help you create an intentional golden pause whenever you’re feeling overwhelmed.

Kristine Carlson shares her own personal experience of how her greatest loss caused her to wake up to live more fully. It’s normal to fear our own death or losing a loved one. Kristine Carlson shares how this fear is actually calling us to live more greatly while we are alive.    The COVID-19 pandemic has brought up many fears about dying.   Losing our own life. Losing someone we love. The loss of our personal freedom and life as we once knew it...   The will to survive is innate in all of us. And the resistance to change; our desire for things to remain status quo is certainly part of what it means to be human.    However, we can reframe the way we think about death and change in general. And once we change the way we think, we’ll change the way we feel.    Kristine Carlson shares how our fear of death (and change in general) is actually calling us to live more greatly while we are alive.    As Norman Cousins so wisely said, “Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. The tragedy of life is not death but what we let die inside of us while we live.”   There’s no time like the present moment to learn how to live your life fully with greater meaning and purpose. Listen in and learn how to heal your fear and come alive again!   To learn more about Kristine Carlson’s signature 6-week online mentorship program, What Now? go here.

In the wake of what has been the most intense presidential election in our lifetime - if not in history - half of our nation is celebrating the new president-elect, while the other sits in grief. We must remember that we ARE one country; united. Indivisible.   The voice of America has revealed what is in the hearts of many, but not all.   So as Americans, we must overcome these incredibly divisive times - from the election to the pandemic, and civil unrest - to come together as one unified nation. How do we do this? It begins by holding space for opinions that differ from our own, by finding it within our hearts to respect and honor the values and beliefs of all of our brothers and sisters across the country, and ultimately, to every corner of our tiny blue planet.    Regardless of who you voted for, it’s likely that we now share the SAME wish - that President-Elect Biden will keep his word, and will help to restore the soul of our nation and unify the American people.  

All we have is the present moment. In this age of dramatic change and upheaval, many of us are living anywhere BUT the present. We worry and fret about the future and what it holds. So how do we live in the present moment - and find happiness -amid uncertainty?   In an age of dramatic change and upheaval, many of us are living anywhere BUT the present.    It’s all too easy to get lost “future-tripping” - wondering if we’ll contract the virus with every excursion outside of our home, fretting about our financial futures, or wondering what’s going to happen with our political affairs.    While it can be helpful to think ahead so we can detect threats and make pivots and changes accordingly, the truth is that we cannot find happiness anywhere except the present moment.    So how do we live in the present moment amid uncertainty?   In this podcast episode, I explain how fitness, mindfulness, and breathwork have contributed to my ability to live FULLY in the present moment.   Calm down and arrive back in your body. Reclaim the mental clarity you need to choose your next steps. Find what excites you - to ignite you! Be HERE... now.

Have your daily wellness practices fallen by the wayside in these tough times? Please, don’t beat yourself up! This is not the time or season to be hard on yourself. However, please know that there’s no better time than NOW to make better choices that will help you feel (and look) your best. So starting today, make a list of the ways you could make better choices to nurture your mind, body, and spirit. I suggest you designate a special journal or planner you can use just for this purpose. Intention is powerful! And by making a list, you’ll hold yourself accountable for these wiser choices.    Here are a few examples of the choices you may wish to improve upon:   Could you reduce your sugar intake?  Spend more time in your meditation practice?  Take that nature walk every day after work? Turn off your cell phone after 8 PM? Cook fresh, healthy meals at home instead of takeout? Say “no” to one unnecessary errand or chore?   And as you begin to reintegrate those daily practices that help you calm down and feel better, you’ll begin to reclaim your inner power and your sense of vitality. When you calm down, you DO come alive.    If this episode was valuable to you, be sure to check out our popular Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff Happiness Course You Can Be Mindful! by going here.

Our expectations determine how we experience our reality. Learn how to engage in present moment thinking so you can release your preconceived ideas of how life “should” be, so you can embrace and fully wake up to what it is.    Expectation is one of the root causes of our suffering.    Our experience in life is colored by our expectations - expectations of others, of society, and of ourselves. And then, there are also the expectations others have of us.    But, we can let go of our expectations through the power of awareness and present moment thinking.   How so, you might ask?    Consider this story of the Thai Buddhist master and the broken goblet:   “You see this goblet?” — asks Achaan Chaa, the Thai Buddhist master.   “For me, this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns.
