2:19
some well let's see we've got a happy
2:23
happy Thursday to you Roy and again we
2:25
want to encourage you to comment in
2:26
there because I'm going to throw your
2:27
comments up here so let's just just jump
2:31
right in the question is how do you want
2:33
to design your life from this day forth
2:35
so it's a question just big for me to
2:37
ask can we actually design our life
2:40
absolutely one of the things that I
2:42
think that happens well most people
2:44
don't even give much thought about
2:47
designing or even lifestyle that was a
2:50
big question for me it's like I didn't
2:53
even think about having a lot of certain
2:55
lifestyle I was just living my life and
2:57
the way it was and then I had a couple
2:59
of big events that happened to me and I
3:02
had to make some new choices and it's
3:05
like what am I going to do and one of
3:07
the things that really had an impact on
3:09
me with which book that was has been out
3:11
for quite a while is before our work
3:14
week with Tim Ferriss oh and love that
3:16
book and I was like oh my gosh what what
3:19
am I have I been doing all this year and
3:21
I've been working or you know raising a
3:23
family just whatever it was and not
3:25
giving any thought to what I wanted to
3:29
do you know and but until I was thrown
3:32
into I had to make some big decisions
3:34
because I got a divorce and in my 50s
3:38
and all of a sudden without a parachute
3:41
having to design a life and and so we
3:46
can we can't design a life I'm proof of
3:49
designing a great lifestyle and not just
3:53
settle not settling for the norm I love
3:56
that so I mean what are some of the
3:58
roadblocks that you think we get hit at
4:00
as as we get older and what do we do
4:03
when we hit the roadblocks
4:04
well the biggest roadblock is our mind
4:09
right 100% is some the way we think and
4:13
what we've been taught and especially
4:15
when you get older and I had to deal
4:16
with the same things like well now on
4:18
too old to get a job or I'm too old for
4:21
somebody to want my services and and
4:24
things like that but you know what
4:26
it's all in our mindset so one of the
4:28
things I have people do is actually
4:30
think about it's kind of like doing any
4:32
motions take the temperature of your
4:35
emotions where are you with your
4:37
emotions what could possibly be stopping
4:39
you from doing the things that you want
4:41
to do and the main five emotions that
4:44
people have that they can maneuver their
4:47
lives around because they don't want to
4:48
deal with them or it lets them affect
4:51
their businesses and what it is that
4:52
they want to do if you don't fear there
4:55
are all sorts of all kinds of fear anger
4:57
hurt sadness sorrow guilt those things
4:59
and limiting and the big one is limiting
5:02
belief about our age and frankly when we
5:06
have the right mindset there's really H
5:09
really doesn't even isn't a faster
5:12
anymore right now it doesn't it's not a
5:14
factor I think that's that's such an
5:16
important important fact that you're
5:18
stating and Nancy Ferrari says amazing
5:20
how big decisions can push us out of our
5:22
comfort zone and then not setting for
5:25
the normal thank you for sharing we are
5:27
never too old and I'm good yeah I'm
5:31
going to put one more comment up because
5:32
they're great it's called thinking
5:34
thinking and jump in the trunk I love it
5:36
I love the trunk in the trunk no
5:39
absolutely and the thinking thinking and
5:43
and the feeling that we're too old you
5:45
know those are so common for people but
5:49
the good news is is that we can we can
5:53
change our mindset it's pretty easy and
5:56
it's and then it's just believing that
5:58
you can have the life that you want
6:00
maybe and I know that for myself I don't
6:03
have the same wants that I wanted 20
6:06
years ago are the same values that I had
6:08
20 years ago might as we get older just
6:11
certain things are more important than
6:13
they used to be so and the key is not to
6:16
beat yourself up and just start actually
6:18
just thinking about it what what kind of
6:20
lifestyle would you like I don't want to
6:22
go skydiving anymore but I would love to
6:24
go to a tea I would go to a trip to
6:26
Italy and right now to where the
6:28
vineyards for Mexico go ahead Mexico
6:31
that's coming up this week for me so
6:34
yeah so if there's kids there if there
6:37
some trick that you can just share with
6:40
now something that right now they can do
6:41
in terms of their mindset in designing
6:45
their life well one of the things is
6:47
actually just even what I mentioned is
6:49
to kind of take a temperature or I just
6:55
kind of be mindful and think about what
6:58
how do you feel about things it's like
7:00
what what are you telling yourself that
7:02
you can or can't do so if you if you're
7:05
saying well you know I'm in my 50s
7:09
online my 50s and I want to take a
7:11
holiday but I don't know how I can do it
7:13
you know I can't do it when you start
7:15
telling yourself you can't that's where
7:17
just start taking note of your self-talk
7:20
because that's what that's the beginning
7:23
of being able to change and being able
7:27
to design a life that you want and and
7:30
just like don't settle for being just
7:33
the way things are if you have a passion
7:35
or if there's something that you want to
7:36
do start doing it just you can just
7:39
taking steps one step at a time and
7:41
start doing it and it's amazing what can
7:44
happen when we you know and I don't
7:48
actually think that affirmations really
7:50
help too well so if you've got something
7:53
a fear that's been with you or something
7:55
that's been with you for a really long
7:57
time and some people say go ahead and
8:00
push yourself through it we use that
8:01
fear to push I don't like to use
8:04
anything negative to push me I want to
8:06
have my picture out there in front that
8:09
I'm going after and then it happens but
8:12
when we let think- push us it's pretty
8:15
temporary you know so that's but being
8:19
mindful about how we're thinking and
8:21
just getting to know yourself a lot of
8:24
people just go through life and they
8:25
really don't they believe everything
8:27
they think and question questions your
8:30
limiting beliefs that you have so let's
8:33
ask our viewers even it either on replay
8:36
or later on work that is later on right
8:39
replay is later on is now or replay what
8:43
are you settling for what are you having
8:45
limiting belief that maybe you were
8:48
stopping yourself from moving forward go
8:50
ahead and put them in the comments over
8:52
there because I'd love to hear
8:53
and I'm sure that Darla would love to
8:54
hear it as well so I know you have a
8:57
program that's that you have coming up
8:58
right yes well I'm actually in the
9:02
process of writing up doing an online
9:05
program it's my first one and there's
9:08
just like the the limiting beliefs that
9:10
we have now two years ago or a year even
9:13
a year ago I would not have believed
9:15
that I could do it right yeah you know
9:18
it's like we know what I think I'm
9:20
pretty sure I can do it so I'm working
9:21
on an online program it's called
9:23
it's my signature program is called The
9:27
Saboteur muse project and what it does
9:30
it takes that negative self-talk that we
9:33
have and we turn it so it's not it stops
9:37
there's no negative self-talk anymore we
9:39
and then we end up then with the news
9:44
going after what we want so it's a it's
9:47
it's a project but really basically it's
9:49
a life skills and and that's the one I
9:51
do with teenage girls as well too
9:53
boy would have been nice if I would have
9:55
known how to I got the negative
9:57
self-talk when I was you know you have
9:58
much younger so that's what I'm doing
10:00
and I'm also in the process of writing
10:02
the book saboteur music project I love I
10:04
love it and they can find out more about
10:05
that on your website Darla - Claire comm
10:09
and they can follow you on twitter at I
10:12
love this I can just throw these things
10:13
up they can follow you on twitter at
10:15
committed living and also on facebook at
10:19
your lifestyle architect so tell me a
10:21
little bit out of these the architects
10:22
the word architect come into play on
10:25
your brand I love that oh well this is a
10:28
story from when I was a little girl my
10:30
my father was a custom home builder and
10:34
I would sit on in his lap when he was
10:36
drawing plans it not only helped me to
10:39
visualize but it also he taught me a
10:43
little bit about life and so when we're
10:45
going I was sitting on his lap while
10:47
he's making these plans as an architect
10:50
would I wanted to skip through the
10:52
foundation right I thought was boring to
10:54
me I wanted to get right to the pretty
10:56
house and he made it really clear to me
10:57
that the foundation was the most
10:59
important part and so when I was coming
11:03
up with what I wanted to call myself
11:07
it was like architect we need to have a
11:08
strong foundation in our minds you know
11:13
otherwise it's going to crumble it's not
11:14
going to we're not going to be able to
11:15
get to where we want to go so and I'm
11:18
became all about lifestyle once I
11:20
realized so I could have a lifestyle
11:22
right and create my own so lifestyle
11:25
architect that's where it came from
11:26
my dad and you know your students as
11:29
yourself you actually are your own
11:31
student which is which is pretty amazing
11:33
because how many people have you run
11:35
into that talk the talk but don't I know
11:37
that's the problem a lot of people don't
11:39
actually walk the walk right and break
11:43
grass their talk so till that part of it
11:48
um and Alison's letter says affirmations
11:50
don't work unless or until you align
11:52
your inner vibration inner vibration can
11:55
be witnessed via your active emotional
11:58
state what do you think absolutely
12:01
absolutely I'm all about our emotions
12:05
and our emotions all come out the our
12:09
energy vibes that we're putting out and
12:11
so one of the things that I had to do I
12:13
had to tap into a time in my life that I
12:18
had a fabulous fabulous winds and I was
12:22
on fire so I got into that memory but
12:25
what I did was then I went to how was I
12:27
feeling cuz I know where emotions we are
12:30
like these little energy batteries or
12:32
whatever we're emitting right our
12:34
emotions and then we get that back so
12:36
whatever we're emitting if we're in
12:38
Munich emitting negative stuff or that
12:40
we think we can't do that's what we get
12:42
back that's what get reflects back to us
12:44
so I practice everyday or mindful every
12:48
day throughout the day how my body is
12:51
feeling you know what oh yeah how my
12:55
physical emotions are coming out so and
12:59
it makes a big difference on what you
13:01
attract and what you can do yeah so
13:03
again we ask our viewers and whether
13:06
it's now or later on how do you want to
13:08
design your life from this day on go
13:10
