ON FEAR AND LOVE
The universe doesn’t reward us for living in fear. The universe is always guiding us towards the recognition that not only are we loved, we ARE love. Always.
It’s frightening to make decisions from a place of love—as strange as that sounds. It feels easier to make choices that listen to the fear in our heads, that honor our inner lizard—the amygdala—and ignore our soul. It feels easier to decide that the anxiety or stress response in our body is something we need to try to eliminate through routine, security, and always knowing what comes next: exactly what we’d planned. It feels right to depend on certainty, predictability and staying where we’ve been before as solutions to easing the fear.
THE PAIN OF REMAINING THE SAME
Except when, eventually, it doesn’t. Eventually,
“the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing.” (Dr. John Townsend)
We realize that nothing is certain, especially not our own plans and in fact, to paraphrase the immortal words of John Lennon, life is what happens we’re busy making them. In fact, the universe will never reward us for choosing to live in fear. Never. Health issues will rise.
Insomnia will creep in. Money issues and concerns will crop up. We’ll start to find it harder to be happy—and will realize
the impact of our unhappy shock waves are indescribably catastrophic. Life will not be the same.
LIFE AND LOVE
Life will be waiting patiently, lovingly, gently shining a light so that we can choose to walk towards it. The universe will be waiting eagerly, beaming, ecstatic that we are FINALLY starting to see. Finally, we are moving away from fear and into love. Finally, we are taking tiny steps along the moonbeam path towards our own shining star. We all have one. “Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers grow, grow.” (Talmud). You have one. And so do I.
And when we take our hesitant, heart-pounding, achingly raw steps toward it, the star grows stronger. The path gets brighter, wider. We can’t see the whole thing. We don’t know what’s around the corner. But with love in our hearts and our outstretched palms, we walk no longer blind towards our destiny. We embrace it.

The program is a once a week, one-on-one, one-hour life coaching call with me, for four weeks. For each client, we identify the top 3 stressors or happenings that are causing stress, distress and lack of sleep. Then we pull from a variety of tools from Martha Beck’s training (she’s the life coach Oprah goes to a lot), and my own teachings and coaching developed over the years of working with the corporate set, academics and working moms. We begin to clear what’s causing the stress and create peace and ease—and gather a range of powerful, practical tools that each client can use on their own whenever they might need them, to clear their top 3 stressors and find more peace and strength.

Create your dream life
Life Coach Susan Hyatt
practical, grounded yet radical tips on everything from creating luck to losing weight.
Life Coach Martha Beck rocks my world—and thousands of others’ too. When she realized “I’m not just a writer, I have something to write,” the world began to receive the wise-cracking wisdom of a teacher who describes herself in six words as “Stumbling into everything. Falling into grace.”
Eat well, Live well
Foodie Julie Beyer’s
vegan and raw recipes are deceptively delicious—especially if you’re unfamiliar with this type of cuisine. What? This is vegan? It’s divine!
Have amazing sex—and lots of it
Kim Anami lives her teachings in such a way that those who seek her out are nearly instantly transformed. Her teachings on “gourmet sex”, “The Come Diet,” and “How to spice up your love life, even if you don’t have one” might at first sound kinky—but definitely come from the heart. And a divinely-tuned one at that.
This happiness workshop was so life-affirmingly inspiring when I did it at SAP Labs Canada that I couldn’t help but offer it again. This time, though, I wanted it to be a gift. I receive so much from doing this kind of work (or play, as Martha Beck would call it), that I simply wanted…
