Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Paddle-boating Your Way Through Life

I was talking about one of them with my client a few years ago… as she had gone on a paddle board outing. We both love how on a paddle board you have to be alert, strong and aware, yet you can’t be tight, in control or rigid or you fall off… it’s SUCH a metaphor for life and SUCH a great way to see how your partner reacts to life.

I just LOVE paddle boarding at my sister’s cabin at the lake in Canada, or near my friend’s place in Long Beach. I’ve boarded on reservoirs in Montana and with my friend down in Dana Point on Mother’s Day. My son and I just went one weekend in Marina Del Re and saw these sea lions adoring their new home on the back of a killer yacht!

You really have to let go to the waves, while staying open and alert… if you paddle board with a date, this makes you really sense how you and your date will navigate life’s mystery. AND once they’ve got the hang of it, it’s very similar to how they’ll be making love… will they tense up if things get choppy? Do they look down at their feet or the waves or up to the horizon? So much is revealed in whether we stay in our bodies and breathe, or leave our bodies and spin in our minds.

I used to have a coach that took me rollerblading or tightrope walking for this very same reason and it was wild to finally reach that sweet spot where you let go to the mystery and ride the wave of your knowing.

LIFE is so amazing!

HUGE love,

Allana

SMART Goals 101: Goal Setting Examples, Templates, and Tips - Brian Tracy

I think you’ll agree with me when I say: We’ve all heard that SMART goals are important . But a lot of people are left with questions about them, for example: What exactly are they? How do we use them correctly? Are they really contributing to your success? Here’s the deal: When it comes to achieving success, one of the most important steps that you can take is setting good goals. It is also important to recognize, though, that not all goals are created equal. In this article, we’ll take a look at a special class of goals called SMART goals and how you can use them to heighten your chances of success. FREE SUCCESS TOOL: Brian Tracy’s 14-Step-Goal-Setting Guide What is a Goal? A goal can be any objective that you set for yourself and push yourself to achieve. Sometimes that goal may be small (like waking up an hour earlier than you normally do) and sometimes it may be larger (like earning a promotion). But here’s the kicker: While having goals of all kinds is almost

bosanchez - The Bias of Fathers

One day, I was at a Christmas party. And parents were forcing their small kids to sing, bribing them with lollipops to banana splits to doll houses to Boracay vacations. One father — a friend of mine whose name I won’t divulge as it would be hazardous to my health — brought his little five-year-old daughter to the front. Because he even had a Minus One prepared, we thought, “She must really be a good singer.” So everyone clapped their hands and cheered as the music started. Then the five-year-old began to sing. Or at least made some kind of sharp noise.  But she didn’t get one key right. The cute little girl was absolutely tone deaf. From beginning to end, she sounded so awful, the experience was similar to having an endoscopy without the anesthesia. But the father was right beside me, still taking photos, still smiling from ear to ear, his eyes glued to his little daughter. He looked at me and smiled, “She may not sound right, but can you see how lovely she sways her hips?” Th
