Spending too much time thinking about the past boomer women?
Too much thought spent on the past keeps you from enjoying the NOW. Being in the now is most important when you choose to live an exuberant fulfilled life. Boomer women think of it like a two year old. Watching a two year old exploring her world is a beautiful thing; she embraces every minute with absolute joy.
Wouldn’t it be great to feel joy again and know that you caused it. Focusing on the now, this minute is the key to recapturing your joy. Choosing the life you live empower you to relish each moment as it unfolds.

Boomer women, what is your backstory?
Boomer women, what is your backstory? You know the story you tell yourself every time you fall short of your own expectations. The story you tell yourself when you start to feel resentful because you said yes to something you really wanted to say no to. The story you tell yourself when no one else is around and you think no one is looking.
I watched a movie last night, Love Happens, about a motivational speaker and author who was very good at helping others but had not faced his own backstory. Not to give the plot away, the whole movie revolves around a dog in the road and a rainy night.
What is your dog in the road, the story that you so freely tell about your rainy night experiences, boomer women? The story that everyone can relate to and offer you the sympathy you seek. BUT are you admitting and telling the backstory to the dog in the road, the story that keeps you up at night that makes you your own caricature.
You know the story I’m talking about, the one that’s keeping you stuck, boomer women, holding you from your bliss, having the life you dream about and deserve. The story, boomer women, that you’ve held on to for far too long, that causes you to feel shame and guilt, the feelings that you so abhor and want to release.
You can and must release the backstory, boomer women, if you desire to have a fulfilled, joyful, happy life. Releasing the backstory requires being willing to do some in depth work on the inside. Release those emotions that you’ve covered over, the beliefs that no longer serve you and the attitudes that keep you stuck.
I’m reminded of a poem by Langston Hughes:
Dream Deferred
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore–
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over–
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
You have choices boomer women, you don’t have to explode! You can choose to begin the journey to self discovery and healing to live the life you desire and deserve. Contact Inez@InezBracy.com to schedule a strategy session to begin the journey of uncovering and releasing your backstory to authentically create the life you dream about, the life desire and deserve.
Day 38 of 45 Day Challenge: Merry Christmas
Are you caught up in perfectionism today? All the food must be perfect, table beautifully set, Christmas music playing as you sit down for dinner. It really doesn’t matter if everything is prefect. The only thing that matters is sharing, giving, receiving and loving. Give thanks and enjoy this day.
Merry Christmas.
Day 38 Today give joyfully, laugh loudly and love fully.
Day 36 of 45 Day Challenge: Seeing Joy in All Things!
The family and friends that you’ve been waiting to see all year are finally arriving with a loud clatter of holiday cheer! You still have much to do and are beginning to feel some frustration instead of the joy you desire. Your challenge for today is to release the frustration and fully enjoy your family and friends.
One of the ways I release frustration is to think of a time of ecstatic engagement, a time when all was going “my way” and I felt on top of the world. A time of ecstatic engagement for me was wining an award for arbitration against a very formidable law firm. When I received the award, I was ecstatic, I felt like I would burst wide open with joy.
Your time of ecstatic engagement might be a wedding, birth of a child, receiving a degree, returning to school… You decide and remember the feeling you got at that time. Now, why am I asking you to remember a time of ecstatic engagement? Because you get to create this feeling as often as you like any time you like.
Day 36 So, today when things seem to be getting out of hand, challenges are cropping up everywhere and the joy you desire seems elusive. Remember that on ‘top of the world’ feeling, feel joy in the moment and see the challenge as an opportunity.
Day 26 of 45 Day Challenge: Joy Cometh in the Moment
Have you ever heard “joy cometh in the morning?” If you’re worrying and in pain right now, the secret is you don’t have to wait until morning! You can decide to experience joy this minute, right now. Changing your attitude and thought patterns can bring joy instantly. 
The choice is yours; you get to decide when joy comes, how long it stays and when it leaves.
Just in case you’re wondering, is this really up to me? YES!
Joy is a level of consciousness you choose as your natural state. It doesn’t matter what’s going on in your environment, even in this economy, you choose. Joy is always present, waiting to be acknowledged. Looking to your spiritual strength is one of the ways to have joy. The song Again I Say Rejoice in the Lord Always, is one of my favorites for uplifting my spirits. I sing at the top of my voice with feeling the title over and over again and realize that “joy cometh in the moment!”
Day 26 Guard your thoughts. Thoughts of lack, envy, guilt, shame, discouragement, gossip and jealousy are fertile ground for despair and steal your joy. Immediately stop those thoughts and focus on abundance, honor, courage, positive conversation, and joy.
