Imagine a life and business that moves with ease. No second-guessing yourself— just your badass super powers showing up when you need them. You start getting the clients of your dreams. Your family starts to do things to make your life less stressful. Your creative super powers are just on fire.

Here’s 4 Easy Steps to get your GUTSY GO TO GAL Super Powers on HIGH:

1. Listen to your GUT! Gut reactions are usually spot on. Don’t question yourself. It’s usually just FEAR trying to divert you. Step into your POWER

2. Negative Nelly showing up. You know, those little voices that tell you can’t, shouldn’t, it won’t work, what will people think. Step back, sit down, and start writing a PRO/CON list. It will make things more clear. Unless someone is going to catch on fire or die---then forge on!

3. Wait a minute!!!! Don’t get in such a hurry tiger. Step back from the situation. Take a walk. Clear your head. Meditate. Eat some chocolate. Breathe. You’ll come back with a different perspective

4. BFF. When the going gets tough---call your BFF. What are friends for? In business and life, the people that know you best will be your biggest cheerleaders. And they’ll shoot it to your straight---you know the one. They’re the one that knows your deepest secrets---and wouldn’t tell a sole where the body is buried So put on your cape and shiny gold cuffs! You’ve got this one! The world is waiting for someone just like you.

We are all so busy these days. Our To Do List seems to be overflowing: home, work, family, life and everything in between. When will we get a 36-hour day? I’d probably fill that up too.

It’s exhausting and stressful; At least it is in my world. I suspect that many of you are also in the middle of a juggling act. With all of the stress going on, it can be challenging to take a step back and just BREATHE. RELAX. BE ALONE.

Well, these 3 APPS have become my IPHONE favorites to help me step back and Breathe---even if for only a moment.

1| Happify: Even the name makes me feel good. “Elevate your happiness and feel good about yourself.” It’s been featured in the NY Times, and made CNN.com’s Top 10 to train your brain.

2| Stop, Breathe, Think: This one gets used a lot on my phone. Even if you don’t like to meditate, I think this one will get you going. You can Check-In with yourself daily, track your progress and create a little more peace in your life.

3| Joel Osteen: Even if you’re not the religious kinda gal, I think that you’ll appreciate his messages. Love the Daily Inspirational Messages and Motivation. Keeps me inspired to Thrive, not just Survive.

I hope that you find these as useful as I have. It’s great to have them right on your phone when you have those — 911 moments to keep the CALM!

COCKTAIL HOUR: HEALTHY SWEET & SMOKEY PECANS

Time to go NUTS! Let’s get the party started with a healthy snack. Pecans to be exact….but you can test out any of your favorite nuts in this recipe. I love the “bacon-y” flavor of the pecans and mesquite….who doesn’t love bacon?! But this one doesn’t have bad fat…only good. Let’s give you the scoop on these bad boys!

Pecans: The are loaded with good fats that help lower your bad cholesterol (LDL), while raising the good (HDL). Rich in Vitamin E (bye bye free radicals). And charged up with minerals like magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc.

Maple Syrup–Grade B: Grade B maple syrup has more minerals and is darker and richer in taste than Grade A. (there is a debate on this, but my research leans towards Grade B) Maganese and zinc rich to support your immune system. 

Mesquite Powder: Hello Superfood! It’s just not for BBQ. Sweet and Smoky flavor + full of protein, helps stabilize blood sugar and has calcium, iron, zinc and potassium too!

Coconut Oil: I could go on and on with the list of benefits from coconut oil. A healthy fat that revs up your metabolism. Helps boost the immune system due to anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.

Sweet & Smoky Pecans

Ingredients:
2 Cups Raw Organic Pecans
2 Tsp Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil (measure solid, then melt)
3 Tbsp Grade B Maple Syrup
1 1/2 Tbsp Organic Mesquite Powder

Directions:
• Pre-heat Oven to 350° F
• Line a baking sheet with either parchment paper or a Silpat liner
• In a large bowl, put the Pecans, Maple Syrup, Mesquite Powder and melted Coconut Oil
• Now, mix like you mean it until the nuts are completely coated
• Spread on your baking sheet in a single layer
• Pop the tray in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned
• Cool and store in an airtight container

Enjoy!! TIP: you can use any nuts of choice or try adding some chili powder or cayenne to kick it up a notch. If you add more seasoning—increase the maple syrup by 1 tbsp and/or 1 tsp of coconut oil.
