How “Comfortable” Are You, Really?

How “Comfortable” Are You, Really?

by Gladys Diaz

This past week has been one of those lesson-learning not-so-comfortable weeks

 

You know… the kind of week that pretty much changes

 

Not only was my oldest son was a way at summer camp, several states away from me, for a whole week, but I also could not communicate with him to make sure that he was

 

As I’ve mentioned before, my son has Autism, so I really had to surrender and have faith that he would be able to deal all of the things that were so far outside of his comfort zone (and mine!), like not knowing what was going to be served for meals, sleeping in a tent during the thunderstorms that came through at night, and facing his fear of spiders and

 

When I saw my son step out of the bus on Saturday night, it took everything in the world for me not to lose it!  I felt so much joy and relief!  He was in one piece, smiling, looked like he’d matured 5 years, and all he wanted to do was hug

 

Yes, there were “horror stories” of spiders and bugs and rain and mud, but, overall, he had a good time, he asked for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches when he didn’t like the food being served, tried to keep the bugs away from him with repellent, and he said he was so tired he slept through the

 

As uncomfortable and unfamiliar as it all felt for him, he got through it (and so did

 

What this week taught me is that, even though things may be scary and uncomfortable – and way out of your comfort zone – it’s only when you step outside of our comfort zone that you can

 

 

Think about it.

The results that you have today are the results you’ve been able to produce from inside of your comfort zone.

 

The relationships you’ve had (or not had) the experiences you’ve created, and the current state of your love life were all produced inside of your comfort zone.

The comfort zone keeps you feeling “safe.”  It has you make predictable choices.  It doesn’t ask you to risk too much, because that would feel uncomfortable.

 

The truth is, however that the results you really want can’t be produced inside of your comfort zone. 

 

If you want to change your current situation, you’re going to have to be willing to step beyond what feels safe and comfortable and take a risk.

You’re going to have to be willing to let go of the familiar patterns and behaviors that have been keeping you stuck and feeling hopeless and alone.

You’re going to need to make a change.

 

And, yes, it’s going to feel scary. 

And, no, there are no guarantees.

 

On the other hand, the only guarantee inside of your comfort zone is that you’ll continue making the same choices, getting the same results, and having the same painful experiences you’ve been having.

 

Imagine for a second what you’d be able to do if you stepped outside of your comfort?

What would be possible for you?

On this call I promise to help you create a plan for stepping outside of this comfort zone so that you can begin to move past whatever has been stopping you in having the kind of loving relationship you want!

 

No more “being comfortable,” but not getting what you want. 

No more pretending you’re okay with the status quo when you know you want more!

It’s time to step outside your comfort zone and get the love you want!

No matter where you are right now, if it’s not where you want to be in terms of being in the loving relationship your heart desires, then I’m going to encourage you to take a step outside of your comfort zone, and click on the link below!

Another Relationship Dream Come True!

Another Relationship Dream Come True!

by Gladys Diaz

 When Jeanie first came to work with us, she was an incredibly successful woman in a high-powered, high-paying job that allowed her to live a life of luxury – traveling and vacationing wherever she wanted, dining in fine restaurants, living in her dream apartment. 

She was “living the dream.”

Except for one thing. She didn’t have someone to share this wonderful amazing life with, and she wanted that, too! 

Jeanie took the steps to figure out what was standing in the way of her attracting and experiencing the love her heart desired! She worked with us in our programs, received and applied the coaching, and believed that it could and would happen for her!

Fast forward to last month…

Jeanie Hernandez_Jeanie & Jim Engagement Pic

 

 

We received the great news that she was getting married to an amazing, wonderful man who, in her own words, makes her feel loved and adored in ways she’s never known before!

 

 

 

Then, a few weeks ago, we received a beautiful invitation to their engagement party, and just Jeanie Hernandez_It's a boyyesterday we learned that she and her fiancé are having a baby boy!

 

 

 

 

Talk about a year of dreams coming true!

 

When she spoke on our Success Panel last month, at The Irresistible Woman Seminar, Jeanie shared how it was the coaching that she received through working with us that had her attract such an amazing man into her life. She learned the keys to loving and honoring herself so that she could attract a man who lives for doing the same for her!

Do you trust yourself when it comes to love?

Do you trust yourself when it comes to love?

by Gladys Diaz

Last night was rough.  We dropped my older son off at Church and I watched him leave on a big white bus without me – for a week!

Now, I know that there are millions of parents out there doing the same thing this summer. And I know he’ll have fun. And I know that it’s normal to miss him.

Knowing all of that simply didn’t lessen the pain and sadness of missing him last night.  It also didn’t lessen the fear I felt.

See, the truth is that, aside from missing him, I’m afraid.

Nico and me

My son has Asperger’s Syndrome – a mild form of autism that affects his social skills – so it takes a lot of courage and faith for me to be able to let go and trust that he will be okay when I’m not there at his side.I’m afraid of not being there with him while he’s thousands of miles away.  I don’t like knowing that I won’t be there to protect and reassure him if something goes wrong or he makes a mistake. I won’t be there to buy him something I may have forgotten to pack.  I won’t be there if he needs or misses me.So, I cried myself to sleep last night, and I prayed a lot

As I prayed, I reminded myself that I trust myself enough to know that I made a good choice in letting him go on the trip. 

I reminded myself to trust the leaders who reassured me time and again that they would be looking out for him, would make sure he’s okay, and would keep me posted as to how he’s doing.

I reminded myself that this kid is extraordinary and never ceases to amaze me in how he does not let autism stop him – ever!  

 

His courage and willingness to try and move beyond his fears inspire me every day to trust myself and break through my own fears!

I reminded myself that I want my son to have these experiences because I want him to learn to trust himself, too. I want him to see that he is able to get through difficult times, that he’s capable of solving problems and making good choices, and that he can have fun, even if everything does not go exactly according to plan.  

So, in the end, I chose to trust!

So, what about you?

Where are you not trusting yourself or others?

Where are you allowing your fears to stop you and get in the way of experiencing the love and happiness you want and deserve?

Where are you not letting go and allowing yourself to take a risk when it comes to love?

I want to invite you to trust yourself. You may have made mistakes before, and maybe you made some choices that didn’t turn out exactly the way you thought they would, but you can learn to trust yourself again.

If you want to learn to trust yourself again but have questions about how to do that, I want to invite you to join us for a very special “Love Breakthrough” Live Q&A Call Michelle and I are hosting on Tuesday night at 9:00pm Eastern!

On this call we will be answering your questions about love, dating, and relationships.

No questions are off the table and we have a special gift for those who attend the call, so make sure you are there!

<<Click here to join us on this special call!>>

Listen, I know you’re scared.  I know that it can be scary to trust yourself enough to open your heart to someone enough to let them in.

Helping you have the love you want is what we live for, so join us on Tuesday night!

Stop Ignoring the Signs That Your Relationship is in Trouble

by Gladys Diaz

This week my heart has been heavy.  I’ve heard from three different women who have reached out to tell me that their marriages are ending. 
 
It’s heartbreaking for me to hear news like this.  Marriage is such a sacred, precious union.  When two people choose to join their lives because they love each other, they do it fully expecting the love that they feel for one another to grow stronger over the years.  They do not get married hoping to hurt, disrespect, and kill the love they once felt for one another. 
 
I’m the first one to admit that having a wonderful marriage takes work. It’s a daily commitment to being my best self so that I can have the love, happiness, and peace in my marriage that envisioned when we first got married. It wasn’t always like this for us. We went through rough patches, just like every other couple.  There were times when I wondered if we’d make it. 
 
I remember noticing that things were changing between us. I remember asking myself where the love, passion and fun we used to share had gone.  We were arguing more often, rarely having fun together, and I carried my resentment like a badge of honor.  We were not hugging, kissing, or sleeping together as often and there were many nights when I cried myself to sleep. 
 
Our marriage didn’t get to that point over night.  There were signs along the way.  Things had been getting bad for a while.  And I silently prayed and hoped that things would change. 
 
One day I decided I couldn’t ignore what was happening any longer. I couldn’t just keep hoping and praying that things would get better.  I knew I had to do something in order to transform who I was being so that I could help turn my marriage around. 
 
I began doing my inner work, sought out mentors and coaches who would help and hold me accountable, and began experiencing the inner shift that began having a very real effect on my marriage. 
 
It took some work and it didn’t happen overnight, but soon the constant arguing stopped.  We were holding hands and smiling at each other again.  We began laughing and kissing and making love again.  My transformation helped transform my relationship and I began to see the man I’d fallen in love with in a whole new light! 
 
If you’re going through a difficult time in your marriage (or you know someone who is), don’t ignore the signs. Don’t pretend you don’t see them, and certainly don’t think that things are just magically going to get better on their own.  They won’t.

In today’s video I do something I rarely do because of how protective I am of the time I have with my family on the weekends.  However, I’m really committed to making a difference, so I’m offering to talk with a few of you who are ready to begin turning your marriage around this weekend.

Now, here’s the deal.

There are thousands of women reading this email right now and I’m only opening a few spots, because I still want to spend time with my husband and kids. I also only have two spots available in my private coaching program. So, I’m asking that you reach out to me only if you are serious about investing in and doing the work you’ll need to do to turn your marriage around before it’s too late.

I’m not giving you the link to my calendar. If you want to speak with me this weekend, send me an email. It will be a first-come-first serve basis and I will let you know the times I have available, which will be mid-morning/early afternoon Eastern time.

I know in my heart that you don’t have to suffer and that by applying certain skills and practices you can transform your marriage. I’ve helped hundreds of women do this and I want to help you, too.

The signs are there and the time is now. If you’re ready to turn things around, hit reply and let’s talk!

Don’t let your reasons stop you!

Don’t let your reasons stop you!

by Gladys Diaz

I’ve been preparing and practicing my presentations for The Irresistible Woman Seminar today and I’ve been thinking of you non-stop!  So I decided to cut a quick video for you and then right back to my work!

I can’t help that you keep coming to mind! Every time that I read a really powerful point or one of the heart-shifting exercises we are going to be doing this weekend, it makes me sad to think that may not be there!
 

I don’t know what has had you not sign up until now, but I do know one thing about you. The fact that you took the time to open the email and even read this far means that you know how committed Michelle and I are to providing you with the information that we know is going to make a difference in your love life and relationships!

How do I know that? Because you wouldn’t be a part of this community if you weren’t!

So, whatever has been stopping you from attending, I just want you to ask yourself if it really is something insurmountable, “unfixable,” or life-threatening.

If it’s not, then I’m going to ask you to do something I consistently invite my clients to do.

I invite you to be UN-reasonable!

That means I’m inviting you to stop letting your “reasons” stand in the way of having what you want!

Here’s the thing, when you really want something – a nice car or outfit, a vacation, or to reach a goal, you figure out a way to make it happen.

Family members might tell you not to do it.

Your friends may tell you you’re crazy to do it.

You may even question your own sanity.

But you do it. Because it matters to you.

If your love life matters to you, if you truly want to be in a relationship where you feel adored, and you know that you know that you are love, then I’m inviting you to put those reasons that are stopping you aside and join us for The Irresistible Woman Seminar.

It’s going to be at least a year until we have this event again.

Do you really want to keep putting your happiness, your dreams, and the love that you want on hold?

I hope not!

So, push past your excuses, be UN-reasonable and join us for a weekend that is going to have you put an end to the loneliness, frustration, and “suffering” you’ve been experiencing in love and relationships.
