Use your everyday life to get wise now.

You have new experiences everyday. 

You watch others who inspire.

You watch others make mistakes.

Your world shows you what you need to learn..

A wise person uses what’s happening around them to gain more wisdom.

Stop thinking something should be different and start appreciating what you learn from all your experiences.

Here are a few more strategies to start becoming wiser today:
1.    Evaluate your day. Spend 30 minutes at the end of each day and see what you can learn from your day.
  • Did you spend your time well? 
  • What mistakes did you make?
  • What did you do well?
  • What could you have done better?
  • How can you have a better day tomorrow?


2.    Learn from the mistakes of others. You can also learn from the mistakes of others. Everyone around you is making mistakes. Feel free to examine the mistakes of other people and learn what you can from them. Everyone’s mistakes can be of benefit for you.


Think. Think before you speak, decide, or take action. When something out of the ordinary happens, think. Not enough people take the time to actually think. A little thinking can avoid a lot of challenges.


3.    Understand your subconscious mind and learn to rewire it for success.
People over 60 will often say, “I feel free now because I don’t care what other’s think of me.”

Don’t wait that long to feel truly free!

PSYCH-K® is a simple process that allows you to access your subconscious mind and rewire your limiting beliefs.  This results in a new sense of freedom and many tangible results.  It is painless and fun.

As my client Jenny exclaimed today, “I thought I could never change and I am changing!  I am actually excited about my finances.  It’s unbelievable.”

Get wise before you get old.

You might be pretty smart, but are you wise? 

A smart person knows facts, and a wise person knows truths. 

A smart person can find a solution to a problem. 

A wise person avoids the problem altogether.

They say that wisdom comes with age, but who wants to wait that long?

It would be better to become wise as soon as possible. While experience matters, there are other ways to boost your wisdom to King Solomon levels.

Over the next 3 weeks, I’ll give you some strategies to start becoming wiser today:

1. Read books. Books are perhaps the best way to gain wisdom quickly and at a young age. Smart people like to write books. Not-so-smart people like to write books, too. So, be picky about the books you choose.

  • ​​These smart people condense the information they think is most important into a few hundred pages that you can learn in a week or two. It took the author a lifetime to learn these things, and you can access it all in less than a month. What a deal!

Some examples from my life are:
  • “Get Out of My Life, but First Could You Drive Me & Cheryl to the Mall: A Parent's Guide to the New Teenager”, by Anthony E. Wolf - This book revolutionized who I was as the parent of a teenager.  It taught me how to be with my daughter in such a way that I could set limits but never drive a wedge between us.

  • “Dying to Be Me” by Anita Moorjani - This is a book about a woman’s near death experience that gave me a new sense of freedom about death.

  • “The Body Keeps the Score'' by Bessel Van Der Kolk - I am about to read this book and looking forward to learning how my body holds trauma and how to release that trauma.

You might think, I’ve read that before or I already know that or that won’t make a difference. 
 

You may tell yourself that you do not have time to read, but you do. A trick I use is to divide the number of pages in a book by the number of days I want to read it and surprisingly you can read a 500 page book by reading 16 pages a day.  Anyone can do that!

2. 
Find a mentor. A mentor is an expert in an area of interest to you. A mentor can help you with your relationships, fitness, career, or any other specialized facet of life. The right mentor has a lot to share and can greatly add to your wisdom.
Some examples from my life are:
  • When I was struggling as a teacher in my 20’s, I met a woman who taught me how to set up and run a successful program with teens and I received a written commendation from my school.

  • When I was in my 30’s and needed to learn to speak confidently in front of an audience, I hired a successful speaker who taught me everything she knew and I became one of the most effective speakers my company ever had.

  • When I opened my own business in my 40’s, I hired a successful coach who helped me generate 25 clients in my first year. You might think, I can’t afford a mentor or I can figure it out on my own or that won’t make a difference.

Using a coach, mentor or trainer is one of the fastest ways to gain wisdom now.  It will be well worth your investment.  You are worth it.

Older people know a lot. But you also frequently hear them say, “I wish I had known this when I was younger.”

Luckily, you can learn a lot of things while you’re still young enough to benefit from them. You can start becoming wiser today. You don’t have to spend a lifetime making mistakes to become a wise person.

If you’d like to learn from the wisdom of others, join a SAGE SUPPORT GROUP TODAY.   

Each week the members of the group support, encourage and teach one another.  

You get to try it for a month FREE and then decide if it could work for you.

Learn from your experiences and the experiences of others. Read good books. Get a mentor. A little work now can pay off for the rest of your life.

Self-Mastery is Possible

3/16/2021

What’s standing in the way of you reaching the level of success you desire, enjoying a great relationship, or seeing your abs for the first time? 

Is the problem that you don’t know enough? No. 

Is there too much competition? Not even close. The only obstacle is a lack of mastery over yourself. 

Don’t believe it?

You will.

Are you in great shape? Do you only eat healthy foods? Why not? 

Is it because you’re confused about which foods are healthy and which are not? 

Are you confused about whether it’s better to exercise by running down the block or by sitting on the couch?

Hardly.

You know enough to make significant changes in your life. 

Knowledge isn’t the challenge. The challenge is managing yourself and your behaviors.

Haven’t had a date in a year? Are you confused about how to get a date? 

The key to getting dates is to ask people out. How many people have you asked out in the last week?How many new people have you spoken to in the last week?

Are you able to say the things that need to be said? Are you able to be silent when you know you should? Can you make yourself go to the gym or eat an apple instead of a piece of apple pie?

Mastering yourself is the only goal you need to achieve. From that, you can achieve all your other goals!

Use these strategies to become the master of yourself:
  1. Make a list of the things you should do each day, but aren’t. This list might include things like exercising, playing the piano for 20 minutes, drinking eight glasses of water, paying your bills, flossing, and making social connections.

  2. Make a list of the things you do each day, but shouldn’t. Maybe you stay up too late, watch too much TV, waste time playing video games, smoke, and show up late to work. Think about all the things you do that sacrifice your health, career, finances, social life, and happiness.

  3. Begin by addressing one item from each list. Slowly eliminate one of the negative items and add one of the positive items. Habits are challenging to change, but you’ve developed habits without even trying. Imagine what you can accomplish intentionally.

  4. Have a long-term focus. Negative behaviors have short-term rewards. Eating ice cream or watching TV are rewarding immediately. They can be harmful in the long-term, but they pay off right now.
  • Adopt a long-term focus and consider the long-term implications of your behavior before you indulge in it. What will it cost you down the road if you don’t change?

  •  Realize that your body is the enemy. Why does a person eat a bag of potato chips instead of an    orange? He imagines himself eating chips. Then he imagines eating an orange. Then he chooses the one that feels better. But your body is deceiving you. It’s only concerned with safety and reproduction.

  • It cares little for your longevity or your long-term prospects. Humans seek pleasure, just like any other animal. The advantage humans have over animals is the ability to make decisions and not follow instinct. The disadvantage humans have is the ability to create pleasurable foods and activities that are detrimental to long-term success and survival.

Self-mastery is the key. If you can master yourself, everything else becomes easy. 

It’s easy to get ahead at work. It’s easy to be healthy. It’s easy to save money and maintain relationships. Can you master yourself? 

Keep your attention on the long-term impact of behaviors and avoid short-term pleasures that lead to long-term challenges.

Being aware is the first step, taking action is the next step and when you continue to struggle, resolving limiting beliefs on the subconscious level can make THE DIFFERENCE.

Goodbye to Winter

3/9/2021

Are you sick and tired of winter?
​

Are you sick and tired of COVID?

Winter and COVID seem connected.  They both cause us to stay inside and go inward, while spring and the vaccine encourages us to release what we were carrying and spread our wings to fly.

Are you carrying extra weight, unhealthy relationships, bad habits or anything else unnecessary?

I realized that in the past year, I had put on a few pounds.  I had even attempted to lose a few pounds but was discouraged at my slow progress.  I became comfortable with where I was at (not gaining anymore) but finally realized I wanted to be lighter and to have my clothing fit more comfortably.

I grappled for about 3 weeks with committing or not.  I didn’t want to do something from the place of “I should” and I realized I had developed several bad habits.  These included: eating chocolate several times a day, eating saltines with no awareness of the portion size, slathering toast with butter, etc.  These are habits I know would lead to more weight gain.

Finally I pulled the plug and signed up for a 6-month program on Weight Watchers.  The first 3 days were tough.  I was hungry.  However by the 4th day, I felt good.  I felt powerful and in control and my middle felt smaller.  

The 10 pounds I want to get rid of may take awhile but I know the focus on being in control will make a positive difference in many areas of my life.

What could you take on that would give you a sense of accomplishment, empowerment or pride?
  • Losing weight
  • Getting in shape
  • Releasing an unhealthy relationship
  • Making new friends
  • Reading more
  • Writing
  • Calendaring and sticking with it

If you come up with something, it’s something you want to do even if your next thoughts are:
  • “I don’t really want to do that.”
  • “It will take too much time or money.”
  • “I’ll probably fail again.”
  • “It’s too hard.”
  • “I’m no good at X,Y, or Z.”

The average person listens to those thoughts as though they were true.
The extraordinary person, hears those thoughts, thanks them for sharing, and makes a plan.

If you are ready to be extraordinary, or go beyond your average and you feel stuck, schedule your Free Psych-K® Session and we will dig  down and get you unstuck.

Are you ready to blossom?

3/2/2021

0 Comments

 
Springtime is coming - a time of new growth.
​

You’ve survived the crazy winter weather - or it’s nearly over.

You’re beginning to look forward to warmer, milder times.

The plants are beginning to blossom and the grass is getting greener.

How can you begin to grow and blossom, too?

What new projects are you dreaming of taking on as the weather gets warmer? 
  • Riding bikes
  • Walking
  • Hiking
  • Running
  • Writing
  • Organizing
  • New business endeavor

You might come up with a project but find there’s something holding you back.  You might think it’s time, money or energy but underneath it all, my guess is you’re struggling with one of these limiting thoughts:

“I don’t deserve to spend the time writing my book.”

“I know I can’t exercise because I’ll hurt my back again.”

“I can’t hike alone but I’m afraid of getting COVID.”

“I want to do X,Y, or Z with another but no one will be interested.”

“I’d like to write my book but I’m probably no good at it.”

“I don’t have time to write a book.”

“If I get everything organized, it will just get messed up again.”

“I’d like to try something new in my business, but I’ll probably be wasting my time.”

“I’ve tried to do X,Y or Z before and failed so why would this time be any different?”

“I’d like to do X, Y, or Z but I need help and I hate asking for help.”

Identifying what’s really holding you back will give you the power to address it.  Each of these limiting thoughts is keeping you from having what you’re dreaming of…

How can you shift your limiting thoughts & beliefs?

Follow my six step system:
  1. Choose something you’re committed to accomplishing.
  2. Write down any limiting beliefs you have related to getting that task done.
  3. For each limiting belief, write a counter belief. (i.e. I’m afraid of failing - I have all the resources and support I need to succeed.)
  4. Post these positive beliefs where you will see them each day.
  5. Make a step by step plan for achieving your goal.
  6. Find an accountability structure that will keep you moving. (a friend, group or coach you check in with each day or week.)

Sometimes your limiting beliefs are too strong for you to handle and transform on your own, through conscious thought.  

If you worry this is the case, you’re not the only one. Most people have had these limiting thoughts for so long that they can’t see the way out on their own.

Very normal. 

That’s why I invite you to schedule a FREE Psych-K session where we’ll work together to dislodge that limiting belief and get the alignment you need from your subconscious and super-conscious mind, 

So you can actually start taking steps forward and seeing RESULTS.

If you're married or in a committed, long term relationship....

2/23/2021

0 Comments

 
Have you started to notice that you and your partner go through the motions everyday?

You might even say the passion is gone and you want it back.

What happened?  Where did it go?  You were so in love when you first met!

You had hopes, dreams and expectations for your life together with this person.

Perhaps you are:
  • Disappointed
  • Bored
  • Feeling trapped (especially during COVID)
  • Feeling unappreciated

During the time you have been together, things have happened that you are stuck with.

Perhaps he:
  • Forgot a holiday
  • Didn’t give you what you hoped for
  • Blew up at you or the kids
  • ​​Said unkind things

You held a grudge and have not forgiven him.

How can you get that spark back?

In the last email I sent, you began to think about how to love yourself and the thing is, you will need to love him just as you love yourself if you want a renewed connection. 

Therefore, what you can do to create a closer relationship with your partner mirrors what you do to love yourself.

#1 Learn to forgive him for everything at all times.  
Everytime you want to make him wrong - just stop it.  Communicate what is not working, make requests and forgive.  We are all doing the best that we can.

#2  Write down everything that works about him and your life.
What do you love and appreciate about your life together?   What have you accomplished together?  What would your friends say works about your relationship?  What’s next?  What new adventures can you create?

#3  Ask yourself, what do I need from my partner and what does he need from me?

COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE  - This is the key to love in a relationship.
If you’re struggling to answer these questions - or you feel like you need support to generate a new spark of passion in your relationship on your own, 

...It’s time to schedule a Free Psych-K session.  

We’ll do a relationship balance with that person (he doesn’t have to be present - nor does he even need to know you’re thinking about this issue)...

which will leave both you and him in a balanced state with one another.
 

You’ll be shocked by how this process shifts your energy which often shifts the other’s energy, resulting in unexpected results.

You might have an experience like Christy.  We balanced her relationships with her mother and in the balance she wanted to hear her mother say, “I’m proud of the choices you’ve made in your life.”  Within days of this, her mother sent her a Valentine’s Day card with that exact sentiment written in it.  This is something her mother had never said before.  They talked on the phone later that week and had one of the best conversations ever!

What would you most like to hear from your partner?  What if you could hear it without him being present?  How might this change the energy between you?

How much time, money and heartache could you save?

You have issues in your life that you’ve been trying to resolve for years.

Perhaps you’ve spent a lot of time, on & off, in therapy to the tune of $3000 -$5000 per year.

Or maybe you’ve spent...

More than $5K in a couples program..

Invested in coaching programs that have cost you $6000 - $12000 a year.

Maybe you’ve even invested in an eating disorders clinic to the tune of $1100 per month.

Have you invested in personal self-development programs that cost $6000 or more?

The amazing thing about my work with PSYCH-K® is that it’s proven to me that many deep-seated issues can be resolved..

 In 8 sessions and at a fraction of the cost of these other programs.

The funny thing is, I don’t promise you any results, except that you will become “whole-brained” in relation to the issue you’re dealing with and that your subconscious and super-conscious mind will be aligned…

Making it SO MUCH EASIER to achieve your new goals.  

When this is achieved, resistance to your goal being manifested falls away.  This results in a shift in your thinking, feeling and perceiving which manifests in your ability to view things differently and be able to easily take new actions. 

For me this has resulted in:
Freedom - I am no longer limited by my age (68)
Power - I am generating more business than ever
Joy - I am present.  My past does not rear its head at all anymore
Satisfaction - I am present in each moment
Abundance - I have more than doubled my income, and it keeps growing!

My work with clients blows me away every day.
Eating disorders disappeared
Weight lost
Relationships renewed
Increases in income
Rape and incest issues released
Family restored
Anxiety released

I offer a FREE first session because I want you to get the experience of PSYCH-K® and then you decide if working with me seems like a good fit. 

We work in 8 session packages, and most people get what they want in that time frame.  
You will NEVER be pressured to buy anything because - simply - I only work with people who feel the fit.

It’s time for the things holding you back from your past to fall away.

​“Working with Patti has been one of the most transformative eight weeks of my life.  My 17-year-old daughter wanted to move out because she was so angry with me.  When I contacted Patti, she recommended we coach with her individually.  Before we could even get started, my boyfriend of 2-1/2 years moved out.  I was in a very vulnerable place.  Through my work with Patti and Psych-K®, I was able to release old patterns and learned to love myself at a new level.  My relationship with my daughter has improved greatly and she is happier and more outgoing.  She values her sessions with Patti as much as I do.  Even my 22-year-old daughter and I have a renewed relationship that is void of the past hurt.  I've created new patterns around exercise and well-being and let go of my toxic relationships.  I feel more balanced and in the flow than ever before. I highly recommend!!”

Loving.

2/9/2021

Love is something you want to feel and experience.

What is LOVE?

Love is strong affection, attraction, admiration, benevolence, warmth & devotion towards someone or something.

You crave love, yet the catch 22 is:  until you love yourself, you’ll never be able to fully love another or receive love from another.

You might not know exactly HOW to do that - it sounds great, but WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN? 

How can you love yourself? 

If you grew up in a difficult environment, it may seem like you’re just stuck with negative emotions toward yourself and others.

My client, Abby, had her mother living with her and she was not happy.  Her mother stirred up old wounds and memories from childhood that resulted in Abby being angry and resentful all the time. 

 Her mother always “shut her up” when she tried to express herself - what she wanted or needed- and told her to be grateful for what she had - how lucky she was.  

All her life, Abby’s had difficulty feeling like she’s heard by those in her life - her daughter, ex-husband, etc.

Abby does not have much compassion or love for herself.  She loves her mother AND resents her and has no patience with her.  She feels frenetic and unhinged being around her.

Abby is beginning to realize that loving herself is her first priority and unless she’s making herself heard and honoring her own magnificence, she is unable to see the people in her life in the present, not the past.  

Every time Abby looks at someone in her life, she sees how they were & how they treated her in the past. It makes her feel unlovable - and she wants to put an end to it...

She also sees that by holding onto the anger and resentment from the past, she’s unable to experience her life and the life of others in the present.  Everything is seen through a filter from the past. 

What does living in the past keep you from? 

How can you admire yourself, bring benevolence, warmth and devotion to yourself?  How can you be affectionate to yourself?

Some things that have helped me are:

#1 Learn to forgive yourself for everything at all times.  This will bring you to a spiritual place. You have to work at it and be dedicated to strengthening this muscle.  Everytime you want to beat yourself up - just stop it.  There is nothing you have done, or will do that you can’t be forgiven for.

#2  Write down everything that works about you.  Be bold, be proud, brag.  What do you like about your body?  What do you like about your personality or values?  What have you done right in your life?  What would your friends say works about you?  What are you proud of?  

#3  Ask yourself, What nurtures me or what makes me feel good or special - and fill your life with these things.  

Examples:  Who do you love to connect with? - create consistent times to be together (mostly on Zoom now), what do you love to do - reading, sewing, yoga, etc. - get it structured into your life., 

What do you love to eat? - make it or buy it.  

What else makes you feel loved? - massage, candle lit bath, sauna, etc. - get them scheduled.

If none of these things work, it’s not your fault.

You simply have some programming in your subconscious mind that keeps negative thinking and acting patterns in place.  This programming can be altered.

Literally I watch people every day melt away their past patterns and start to live the life they’re craving.

You can have this too. It’s not that these people are special - it’s that they’re willing to try a new option!

It’s time for you to learn more. To get past those patterns. Schedule a Free Psych-K session with me, and enjoy the immediate relief that most of my clients experience...

Wondering what PSYCH-K® is and how it works?

2/2/2021

0 Comments

 
PSYCH-K® is a process that allows you to access your subconscious and superconscious minds and create alignment around goals you have where there is resistance.  

According to Bruce Lipton, the author of The Biology of Belief, during the first seven years of your life, you are simply recording into your subconscious mind.  

This is a good thing because it allows you to learn many things that support you in your life.  

However, you are also recording the belief systems around you and the decision you make about yourself based on things happening to you and around you.  

The subconscious relates like everything it records is true and it’s job is to keep you safe.  

Therefore it will keep things in place you no longer need as you grow older.  Your subconscious beliefs are in play all the time and end up restricting your life -

IF we don’t deal with them?

Any area of your life where you keep “trying” to make a change and keep encountering “resistance” is an area where something is hidden in your subconscious and needs to be transformed.

In PSYCH-K®, we use a simple method of determining what you really want and balancing it so that all resistance falls away.

This can result in immediate results like the ones mentioned above or subtle results over time.  One client told me that she looked at her notes from 12 years ago and realized everything she had balanced had manifested in her life.

Results I have experience with my clients are:
Fear of flying and elevators disappeared
Fear of heights disappeared
Relationships transformed without having to ask the other for anything
Weight loss and increased health
Increased ability to earn money/ask for money
Finding the ideal job
Sexual trauma resolved
Letting go of the past and being present now
Increased self-love and self-esteem

Eight sessions of PSYCH-K® seems to resolve all immediate and important issues.  

I offer my first session FREE with no pressure to continue.  The first session alone can completely shift your experience of living.  Why not give it a try.

Do you need a miracle?

You have some area of your life where you’re stuck.

You’ve tried so many things to resolve this, yet nothing works.

You may have given up.

It’s not your fault and it doesn't have to be hard.

You just need the right tool which is what my new client, Abby, learned.

Abby only ate junk food.   Donuts and soda for breakfast, hamburger for lunch, candy for snacks, crackers for dinner, etc.  She couldn’t go out to dinner with others or have other’s to her home.
When she was near any fruits or vegetables, her palms would sweat and she felt ill.  This also occured if she simply read about these substances.

She had tried so many things, including attending a high cost eating disorders program to no avail.
She came to me as a last resort and after one session, she returned to say that her hands no longer sweat and her body felt fine when she touched a piece of fruit or read a menu. In fact, she ate an apple.

Together we realized that at age seven, she had declared she would never eat another fruit or vegetable.

Next, she realized she wanted to get closure around her parents, who were not nurturing and died when she was in her early 20’s.  This manifested in her feeling left out by her family all the time

The weekend after our session, she attended a funeral for her aunt and wrote to me, “Yesterday, at the funeral, was amazing!!!  I couldn’t wait to tell you!!  I don’t understand how this works and I don’t even care.  I’m just amazed!!!  I have never felt a part of the family and I was included in all conversions.  THANK YOU!!!"

Are there things in your life that you think CAN’T BE RESOLVED!  You don’t need to know how, you just need to trust the tools that make a difference for others

If you are sick and tired of being stuck and unable to change something about your life, schedule a COMPLIMENTARY session now.
