#changebychoice

*Remember the promise you made to your spouse, God and family, and yourself. *If it’s rough now, think of it like business. *Just before something big and wonderful, it looks a mess. *Will you breakthrough or breakdown? *Everything in your life is a choice. #choosewisely #changebychoice @thekhaoskreed @1stphorm #thehumblehusband #neverquit #itshouldnthurttobeloved #befaithfultoyourword

Hey everyone! The third episode of my podcast is live this morning! It is titled, "If not now, when? No really, when are you going to do it?" I talk about the times we say we are going to make changes and the times we don’t take the leap to make them--and how we can change that approach! You can access the podcast here: http://bit.ly/CHANGEbyCHOICEpodcast *For Android, download the "Podcast Addict" app* Thank you all for tuning in! xo, Charlotte . . . . . #CHANGEbyCHOICE #theBOLDlife #theLEGACYlife #theEMPOWEREDlife #trusttheprocess

Learning how to say "no" to things is a huge game changer. I hear from so many people that they just don't have enough time...and the only way to generate more time in your life is to eliminate things that are taking up your time. Start saying no to the things that don't feel right for your life. Say no to the things that hold you back from moving towards your goals and your dreams. Say no to the things that aren't moving you towards the life that you actually want to create for yourself. Not everyone is going to like hearing "no" - especially if you're usually a yes person. People might get upset, angry, frustrated.....but in case you've forgotten, your freedom is more important than someone else's anger. Say no with kindness and grace, but also with confidence. "No, thank you" can be a complete sentence. You don't need to explain yourself, you don't need a thousand excuses or reasons or justifications for your choice. It takes practice....but the rewards are so worth it. Get your life and your time back....start saying no. ~ Charlotte xx #CHANGEbyCHOICE #theEMPOWEREDlife #theLEGACYlife #leadwithlove #trusttheprocess #theBOLDlife

Hey everyone! Today is a huge day!! I’m launching my NEW podcast- a goal I've had for the last 2 years! I am beyond excited to bring you guys, CHANGE by CHOICE! SUBSCRIBE HERE > http://apple.co/2dNfes4 I have been wanting to create a podcast to share my high performance coaching, leadership, and thrive Consulting roles with you all and I FINALLY have it up and running! It is so special to me to bring all of my worlds together for you. I have so much I want to share with you; life experiences, high performance coaching, entrepreneurial insight, and leadership consulting. We are all faced with constant choices in our everyday life and it is up to us to make the best choice for ourselves, our families, and our livelihood.

As a leader and a business consultant, I have faced many situations in which I had to make difficult choices and each one of those choices led me to learn more about myself and more about how I want to serve and lead others.

Some of the greatest lessons in my life have been taught by these two. Determination Creativity Courage Imagination Strong-will Honesty Self-love Children truly live their lives without apology. This isn't always a good (or enjoyable) thing, especially for the parents...but it certainly IS something to admire. They say what they want, they wear what they want, they do what they want and they wear their hearts on their sleeves. They are bold...not yet restricted by the social norms, not yet living in fear of judgment, ridicule or embarrassment. They are FREE. Kids don't have to think about being all of these things. It's effortless. They come naturally and are just part of being a kid. Unfortunately, it tends to fade as we get older....but seeing these qualities reflected in my children on a daily basis provides a constant reminder to myself to practice these same qualities. I'm not saying we should all go back to living like 4 year olds, but perhaps we can take a few pages from their book and learn a few lessons from the little ones in our lives. ~ Charlotte xx . . . . . . #CHANGEbyCHOICE #theEMPOWEREDlife #theLEGACYlife #leadwithlove #trusttheprocess #theBOLDlife

If you are not absolutely, head over heels, in love with your life - then you are doing something wrong. Let me explain - I'm not saying there won't be hardships and bumps along the way, but you should love all the pieces you have chosen to have in your life. Think about the things that make you feel most alive and make them a priority. Figure out what is dragging you down and cut it from your life. Make some tough decisions and some difficult changes if you must - but you deserve to be in love with your life. Every part of it. ~Charlotte xx #CHANGEbyCHOICE #theEMPOWEREDlife #theLEGACYlife #leadwithlove #trusttheprocess #theBOLDlife

There is no "I'll start tomorrow" when it comes to exercise and fueling your body. Tomorrow is disease. That's a pretty powerful statement. And it should be. When you're young, treating your body right isn't usually on the top of the priority list. But as you get older, the body doesn't quite bounce back the same way. The metabolism has slowed down, our cells just aren't quite as efficient as they used to be, and our bodies thrive on exercise and proper nutrition to simply function and stay healthy. Disease is just waiting, lurking in the shadows, to rear its devastating head, and everyday that you aren't doing well by your body - it's just coming closer and closer. If you're an adult, and you still are not taking your physical fitness and nutrition seriously - you need to stop and give your head a shake. Stop and consider exactly what you are doing to your body. Stop and consider what kind of quality of life you want when you're 50? 60? 70 years old? Do you want to be active and healthy, playing with your grandkids and traveling the world? Or do you want to be ill, living in a nursing home? If this sounds harsh - good. It's meant to. Because you might feel fine today, but when you start to not feel so fine, it might be too late. ~ Charlotte xx #CHANGEbyCHOICE #theEMPOWEREDlife #theLEGACYlife #leadwithlove #trusttheprocess #theBOLDlife

"Freedom means you are living your life as you choose. Anything else is a form of slavery" ~Wayne Dyer Vito La Fata, my mentor☺️, my boss🙄 and friend🤗 always shares the 5 freedoms in life that we can create based on the choices we are making each day. He challenges us the think beyond the reactive day-to-day choices, and look at the bigger picture. I've always connected to them, but in the last year, I focused every decision into creating them. 👉🏻The financial freedom 👉🏻The location freedom 👉🏻The purpose freedom 👉🏻The time freedom 👉🏻The people freedom There is one thing for sure, I want to be in the drivers seat of my life and my future. There wont be a ceiling to my success, and I won't be stuck in a box of limitations. I will, and have been making the sacrifices to reach these freedoms! Most of all, I won't look back in life regretting. I refuse to live the status quo and "hope" that life will hand me greatness. As my future self, I want to be a woman that has meaning and purpose and who is a great mother. Yes-you don't have to give up one to be the other. And the best part is, it's never too late to start❤️ Too much empty time without individual purpose, creates an insecure mindset. We must protect our futures selves! It starts now👊🏻 ~C xx . . . . . . . #theBOLDlife #theEMPOWEREDlife #theLEGACYlife #choosefreedom #trusttheprocess #CHANGEbyCHOICE
