“D” in D.I.V.A.

by Myra on March 29, 2013

Be DARING!! What does that mean? Simply stated, be a risk taker! Where in your life are you taking risk? Where are you not risking? To be daring is willing to stretch yourself to that uncomfortable place.

Granted our comfort zone is warm and fuzzy but warm and fuzzy doesn’t get you your desires. It doesn’t stretch you to grow. We’ve all heard a hundred times, “If you’re not growing you’re dying.”  It’s much like a plant; it’s either growing or dying. The four areas of growth are: Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, and Physical.

                            “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”  Neale Donald Walsh

For example, your goal is to lose weight. Your actions is work out 3 times a week in the morning. So you begin and the first week is great.  The second week begins and after a long week of work it’s more challenging to get up early three times to workout, not to mention being sore. What do you tell yourself? I’m too tired and can I really wake up this early.  Then you make a decision you know what I will start again in a month when things settle down. That was the uncomfortable feeling! That feeling makes it easy to lose sight of what your initial desires: to lose weight and workout 3 times a week.

Start being DARING!

  1. Be Clear with your desires
  2. Listen to your inner voice
  3. Change your relationship with the uncomfortable feeling
  4. Embrace the uncomfortable feeling
  5. Enjoy the benefits of achieving your desires and creating a larger comfort zone.

My mental stretch is owning who I am. I initially started this online coaching website as Viva La Diva Coaching.  That was my comfort zone. For some reason my intuition was telling me Myra Grefaldia, start owning who you are! Why are you hiding behind Viva La Diva Coaching? I was in such resistance and it made me terribly uncomfortable.  I would get a lump in my throat! That’s when I knew I had to do it! So I decided to go with Myra Grefaldia, Lifestyle Enthusiast. I pushed throught he uneasiness . I pushed throught the thoughts of “I’m not good enough.”

Here I am on the other side writing blogs and sharing my voice to the world, while helping others. I created a larger comfort zone for myself. Now I am enjoying what I do!

What’s your next Daring experience?

La Dolce Vita Project

by Myra on March 24, 2013

I’ve been a busy bee, creating a project for women to partake this September.  It incorporates everything I love, my Fab4 and travel! For those who don’t know my Fab4, here it is: my Faith, my Family, my Friends, and great Food.  As I mentioned on my last blog, I am one who enjoys experiences in life, so I figured I might as well create an experience based on the things I love.

Why La Dolce Vita? An Italian saying meaning The Sweet Life! Tell me who doesn’t want to be living The Sweet Life.  This is why I am taking a dozen women to enjoy a week of experiences.  When I say experiences I mean adventure! This is an adventure to own your inner D.I.V.A. and help those who might not know their sweet spot.

I am so excited to share it all with you but not just yet!! I am still making the final arrangements. Once it’s all set I’ll share it all with you.  What I will do, is share my experience in creating this week long adventure. Cuz I know following my dreams doesn’t mean peaches and roses, it means going through thru some challenges to see my dream come true.  

What I’ve noticed so far that what I truly want is within arm’s reach. When I feel the uncomfortable feeling it means I’m on the right track! It means I’m on the verge of a breakthrough!  So I ask you, what dreams have you put aside because it became challenging? Next time when it gets challenging remember going thru the uncomfortable stage is part of getting what you desire.  So, accept the fact its part of the process and soon you’ll have your desires.

So stay tuned for all the details on La Dolce Vita 2013 Project and my journey in creating it!

It just came to me and when I wrote it for the first time, it felt oh so perfect!  Every [...]

Clarity in My Life!

October 31, 2012

Clarity………What does that mean? The word itself is obvious but when used to reference my life, I was clueless. My computer, which is my brain, said, “Does Not Compute! WARNING! Does Not Compute!” How do I gain clarity when it comes to my life? This question would leave me even more confused with so many [...]

Missed Possibilities!!

October 25, 2012

The other morning, I thought of Missed Possibilities while walking my dog Mojo. There was a woman on a mission. Her mission to find plastic bottles and cans to recycle. As I passed her and the trash, I noticed 3 feet away from her, were several empty plastic bottles thrown on the ground. She could have easily [...]
