5 Habits that will Sky Rocket your Life to a Higher Level
Reaching your next level of success is no easy task. Maybe you want a promotion or a better job, a bigger house, nicer car or maybe you want to open your own business. Regardless what your goal is, you need to be an extremely focused individual, determined to succeed AND you need to be willing and open to changing your life.
When pushing yourself to the next level, you'll undoubtedly be faced with limiting beliefs, fear, insecurity and failure. It's during these times that we need to be extra strong and motivated to push through and keep moving ahead.
"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." - George Bernard Shaw
To help you stay on track, I've come up with :
5 habits that will help catapult you to the next level
1.) Wake Up Early
You know what they say, "The early bird gets the worm". Starting your day off early gives you the gift of time. And lets be realistic, we could all use more time. Waking up at least 1 hour before you normally do gives you the luxury of relaxing, thinking, meditating, gives you time to exercise, eat a healthy breakfast and get a head start on your tasks for the day.
Instead of waking up and hitting the snooze button, then panicking all the way out the door cause you might be late, give yourself more time. Ultimately, you'll feel much less stressed and instead, you'll feel more accomplished and productive throughout the day.
2.) Limit Social Media Time
I know, I know...it seems impossible right? Don't worry it's not. Most of us don't even realize how many hours a day we waste on social media. We are constantly getting pinged and a few minutes here and there add up to quite a few hours by the end of the day. Not to mention, every time someone pings you, you lose concentration on the task you were working on.
Nowadays you can actually set certain times where you can block specific apps on your smartphone. For example, I set my social media apps like Instagram and Facebook to only be available from 9am-11am and then from 7pm-9pm. Doing this keeps me focused on my task without interruptions and still gives me 4 hours a day of social media in the day. I know what you're thinking: "my job depends on social media". Sure it does, so does mine and there's no reason why you can't post, respond, comment, share etc on your social media during your specified "allowed" time. The whole point of doing this is so you stay motivated and focused so you can reach your next level of success.
3.) Diet and Exercise
This plays a massive role in your success. Let's face it, if you don't have your health, you don't have anything. Block out a time each day (try for the same time) for some movement. Honestly, it doesn't matter what kind of movement, walking, yoga, running, aerobics, biking, stretching, it's up to you. But movement is key. It's crucial you get your body moving, your blood and oxygen pumping through your veins and your heart rate up. Exercise not only gives you mental alertness and energy, it also sharpens your memory and boosts your self-confidence and cognitive ability.
Exercise and a healthy diet is proven to prevent disease and reduces stress. When it comes to food, plan out your meals to stay on track. Even plan out the days you want to eat out. This will prevent you from making spur-of-the-moment bad food choices. And don't be afraid to cut corners if you need to save time, buy pre-washed spinach and pre-cut fruit and veggies to help you stay on track.
4.) Consistency
If you look at the most wealthiest and successful people on Earth, you'll notice they all have one major strength in common, and that's consistency. They create success habits that propel them forward in life and business, and they stick with it.
They have a 'no-excuse' policy and day in and day out, year after year they keep their momentum going and show up. When things go side-ways and everything gets turned upside down, they keep fighting, keep plugging away and they keep their eye on the prize. Giving up is not an option for them, they stay consistent with their success habits. If you want to reach your next level of success, be consistent.
5.) Check in with yourself
Many of us forget to check in with ourselves, which seems silly. We let each day pass and before we can blink an eye, weeks, months and years have passed and we haven't accomplished what we wanted.
I have a rule to check in every Monday. I look at my tasks /to-do list and I figure out what keeps getting pushed back, what was completed and what still needs to be done. I go over all my successes and failures if any. I reflect on the things that need improvement and I make those changes and plan my week. Get into the habit to check in with yourself so you stay on course so you can hit your goal.
Keep this list on hand to remind yourself daily and I recommend implementing these habits starting today.
I'd love to hear if you have any success habits that you use consistently that have helped sky rocket your life to a higher level?

12 LIFE-CHANGING Reasons WHY YOU NEED a Life Coach
"Let today be the day you LOVE YOURSELF enough to no longer just DREAM of a better life; let it be the day you act upon it."
As you read each reason, imagine as though you’ve already achieved the benefit. Ask yourself, “Is this something I want more of in my life?”
1. Design your life for maximum fulfillment. The sky really IS the limit!
Most people go through life thinking that they have no control or no choices. But as a professional life coach, I will show and teach you that this is complete B.S. We actually have to choose, otherwise life will choose for us. We all have choices and you will quickly realize that you'll have many options to choose from regardless of your circumstances.
Throughout our coaching relationship, we'll explore the 10 Keys to Fulfillment. We'll identify what true fulfillment means to you. With outstanding coaching and your commitment to the process, you'll create a more fulfilling life and you'll experience the following:
* Doing what you love...
* Sharing and connecting in meaningful relationships...
* Fully enjoying and appreciating each and every moment...
* Realizing what your goals and dreams are...
* Living in abundance, happiness and joy...
* Living your life with purpose...
Creating a fulfilling and meaningful life isn't always easy, however it's well worth the effort.
And you deserve it!
2. Get CLEAR on “What YOU really WANT in your life”
Most people go through life settling for mediocrity. They never take the time to figure out what lights up their life. Sometimes this is the toughest step of all. Often times, simply 'deciding' what's important creates a chain reaction that magnetically pulls you toward it. Become clear on what's most important to you, what your purpose and passion is and who you want to become. Clarity is POWER and when you figure out what's most important to you, enormous energy is freed up. Ask yourself:
* What's most important to you in life?
* What's most important to you in your relationships?
* What's most important to you in your career?
* What do you want more of?
* What do you want less of?
* What things are you tolerating in your life?
As your coach, we'll delve into different options, we'll focus on what you truly love to do and then we'll redesign your life around the 'what's most important', setting obtainable goals and creating an action plan.
3. Conquer fear, limiting beliefs, obstacles, problems, and insecurities
Instead of running from your fears like most people do, you'll learn how to recognize and tackle them head-on, and use them to push you towards achieving your goals. Through coaching you will get to the root of the problem and create solutions. It's always amazing how fast a problem can be solved with focused attention and two committed beings. (client & coach) With problems resolved, you'll have more energy to invest into your life.
"It is our choices...that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - J.K. Rowling
4. Implementation - "Walk vs. Talk"
Who says you have to work harder to create more results? As your coach, I will help you bridge the gap between where you are right now and where you want to be. I have an extensive toolkit full of useful methods that will get you to start taking ACTION right now.
When people get clear about what they want, often times, they quickly forget. They talk the talk, but they don't always walk the walk. It's not that their goals and dreams are no longer important, it's because they get busy, they get caught up in everyday life and everyday challenges take their attention away. Together, we will focus on an effective plan-of-action and I will consistently direct you toward your desired target.
My role as your coach is to keep your vision alive, help you hold this focus and gently nudge you in the direction of your dreams so you never venture too far off track.
5. Accountability - Do what you say...
Have you ever broken a commitment you made to yourself? Yup, me too. As simple as it sounds, the power of your 'word' to an unbiased coach can be pure magic. It can be really hard to find people in our lives that motivate us, cheer us on and keep us accountable throughout the entire process all at the same time.
Having a professional life coach to check in with weekly is like having a best friend. Often times, you'll identify action steps through coaching that you never would have thought of.
How can you implement an idea you never had? My entire purpose is to help you succeed and hit whatever target you set for yourself. So whether you consider yourself disciplined or not, motivated or not, creative or not, never underestimate the power of your word within the coaching relationship.
6. To Create more BALANCE in your life
Is balance really possible? Of course it is. When life is out of balance, we're depleting our energy. Each area of our life is connected to the other. In coaching, we look at your life as a whole. We focus on everything from relationships to career, from health to recreation, from spiritual and personal growth to fun and finances.
Balance gives you energy, peace of mind and a deeper sense of fulfillment. It's something we can all use more of. And yes, it is very possible.
7. Improve Confidence
Seeing yourself as someone who deserves the best out of life, knowing your worth and raising you standards will empower and motivate you to reach your greatest desires, dreams and goals. Having a degree high of self confidence is essential to succeed in life, in relationships, health and business.
8. To challenge you to stretch and grow in new and exciting ways
Of all the reasons individuals come to coaching, the bottom line is CHANGE. Change means growth. I'm a huge believer in 'life-long learning'. I pride myself in being an insatiable student of life, reading 30+ books a year, expanding my professional career through ongoing training and certifications, attending seminars and workshops and learning from life through personal experience and through people.
Those who have stopped learning and growing in life are usually dead inside. Or I like to call them the 'walking dead'. One of the most satisfying and fulfilling experiences available to us is when we learn and grow. I attract clients that love to learn. They want to take themselves to the next level, they want to learn and are looking to be challenged to grow in new ways through our coaching relationship
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt
9. Start ATTRACTING into your life, rather than struggling
Imagine a life without struggle. Wow, it sounds good, doesn't it?! Law of Attraction is defined as the belief that thinking about something attracts it and causes it to manifest in your life. It's the magnetic power of the Universe that draws similar energies together. It attracts people, thoughts, situations and ideas. Attraction happens through shifting your attitude, habits, life, home, and career.
Through the power of attraction you have an abundance of energy, time, love and power. Through our coaching, you’ll discover where in your life you are already “attracting” and what can make you even more “attractive”. Attraction happens through strengthening your personal foundation. Attraction becomes a way of being.
10. Get results FASTER!
Most people live day-to-day, with the same routine, like the movie "Groundhog Day".
They don't have a mission, a vision or a clear idea of what they want. All this changes with a professional life coach.
11. Have YOUR successes fully acknowledged and celebrated
Have you ever had a personal breakthrough that your family and friends just didn't seem to appreciate? Or have you ever worked long and hard to accomplish something and when you finally did achieve it, no one was there to fully celebrate with you? It can be quite the let down to work hard at something and not receive any acknowledgment. We are often times our worst critics and forget to even acknowledge ourselves sometimes.
Feeling celebrating and acknowledging our successes can be the single most important element in empowering you and creating momentum. What if you had someone in your life that acknowledged, celebrated and championed all of your breakthroughs and successes? As you take your life to the next level, I will do just that. Why? Because you deserve it!
12. Give yourself an EDGE in your career and in your life.
Maybe you feel like “you can do all this by yourself” and that you don’t really need a coach. Nobody really needs a coach, however, everyone can greatly benefit from a coach. Having a coach gives you an edge over someone without a coach – in your career, in your business, in your relationships and in your life.
Having a coach means having an edge. An edge that has you three to four strides ahead of others. An edge that gives you strength, confidence, and empowerment to handle anything in your business and in your life. An edge that will propel you forward into life maximizing your fulfillment along the way.
A Few Final Words…
The reason you hire a coach, will likely NOT be the only reason you hired a coach. I can absolutely assure you that we’ll FOCUS on the primary reason you hire me. And there may be areas you have handled that can be taken to the next level. There may be areas you don't think are important that become your greatest source of strength and enjoyment. When you make a commitment to yourself by hiring a coach, a whole world of benefits falls to your feet. A coach gives you an edge, enabling you to go from being great to being extraordinary.
Perhaps you now have a greater understanding of why hiring a professional life coach can be one of the most impactful decisions of your life.

Happy Motivation Monday!
How many Monday's have come and gone since you said "I'll start this week"? Take action and start today!
Since moving to the beach, I feel like I've gained something back that I've been missing. My creativity and motivation. Living in the jungle gave me other strengths like greater respect for nature and learning to live as natural as possible but I had a hard time reaching my personal goals due to lack of self-motivation.
The environment around you plays a significant role on your day-to-day life. It's important to be happy where you spend most of your time as this can greatly affect the outcome of your goals. Over the years, I've learned how to reach my goals and that's with change. Now I'm not saying that if you change you'll always be successful at reaching your goals, but if you don't try you'll 100% never reach them, guaranteed.
What are your goals? Maybe you want to travel, or lose weight, or work at the beach, or live in Japan or run that marathon, or climb everest...what ever it is, you CAN achieve it if you put your mind to it and try. Change your life so that you are happy and create the life you want to live. At different points in life, opportunities come up that you ponder about and some of them you pass up. I'm a huge believer in taking risks and making yourself uncomfortable if it brings you closer to your goal...you can always go back to the way things were before, but there's a good chance you won't because life will start becoming increasingly better.
Love yourself. You only have one life to live and it goes by fast. Do whatever makes you happy. Surround yourself with people that motivate and inspire you. Follow your goals and dreams. Live a life you love.

Feeling Lost, Stuck or Confused and you don’t know what to do? Read THIS.
Do you ever feel like you're going through a stage in your life, where you feel lost, stuck or maybe confused?
Is there something in your life you want to change or is there something you've been wanting to do?
Maybe you want to reach your next level of success? Maybe you want to change your body image and lose 30lbs? Maybe you want to start a business or quit your job that you hate going to every day? Maybe you want to go back to school, or quit smoking or drinking or end a relationship or maybe you want to start a new one?
Whatever it is, how long have you been wanting this change? What have you been doing to make it happen? How is it going for you?
So many of us want change but for one reason or another we get stuck. We don't follow through, we have a fear of failure. We are afraid to step outside of comfort zone. We feel judged by the decisions we make by those around us and we are deeply afraid of the results we might get based on experiences from the past.
You see, when we have something we want to achieve, we immediately look through our brain to a time when this was wanted in the past, whether or not it's our own experience doesn't matter. You still reflect on a time when you or someone you know went through something similar.
If it didn't go well the first time, immediately we flood our brains with self-doubt and limiting beliefs that if it didn't work the first time it probably wont work the second time. This is a dangerous spot to be in because you are immediately creating failure before you have even given yourself a chance. And most of the time we don't even realize that this IS the reason why we can't move forward. We just feel stuck, trapped and lost.
The past is in the past for a reason. Learn from it and let it go. Upgrade your skills if necessary and leap towards your goals and take ACTION now! Don't look back! Don't allow those limiting beliefs to creep back in. Keep your eye on the prize and you will succeed.
And the next time you feel stuck, lost or confused...ask yourself if it's stemming from another time that you remember from your past.

By changing nothing, nothing changes
Tony Robbins
Do You Need to Change?
When I finally made the decision to just 'Do-It', it was December 2013. I had an entire apartment full of stuff and a bakery filled with every cake decorating tool, cake pan and equipment available to man-kind. I decided that I can sell and donate most, if not all my belongings and purge some of the things I thought were sentimental but useless. I thought May 1st would be sufficient amount of time to unload all of my things.
As time passed, I became increasingly eager to move to Costa Rica. May 1st became April 15th, April 15th became April 1st, April 1st became March 21st, then March 15th and my final moving date was March 6th.
Let's back up a little bit to my 'Let's Do-it' moment. In order to turn talk into reality, I needed to change, drastically.
Here are 4 changes that I made to make it happen:
1.) Change your thoughts. The mind needs to shift and prepare to try something completely different. Thoughts need to be focused on what YOU truly want. You can't change your past, but you can change your future.
2.) Change your attitude. Your attitude has to stay positive and optimistic that you are making the right decision, even when some people might think differently.
3.) Change your friends. This doesn't mean I gave up my friends, however, I had to be open to start all over again. I knew no one and no one knew me. You might have to do something similar. This also goes with removing toxic people from your life. If you know someone in your circle that keeps poo-pooing on your goals and dreams, it's time to cut them off.
4.) Change my Life. You must leave behind everyone and everything you find comfortable. It's about taking risks, seeking adventure and going with the flow.
If you want change, no matter what kind, you must change. If you're thinking you want a completely new life, start by down-sizing, (a simple life is a better life - more on this topic later) purge any negativity in your life, take chances and focus your thoughts, dreams and desires.

Hi! I’m Lisa Lyttle!
Hi! I'm Lisa Lyttle! I'm a Certified Life & Business Coach. I studied an intensive program certified through the International Coach Federation. I'm also a Podcast Host for my podcast called "The Reviving Lives Show", a soon-to-be-Author, a dog-mom to a beautiful Chihuahua names Zeus and a serial entrepreneur.
I'm from the cold, wintery North...way up in Canada. This is my blog...my Life Coaching Blog.
I lived in a big bustling city most of my life. Like the majority of us, I saw the sun and felt the warm weather on my skin only a few short weeks a year...and year after year, I waited and longed for my vacation to some sunny destination to escape it all.
Before owning my first business, I had a successful, lucrative career as a Corporate Currency Broker. After nearly 10 years, I quit my job and opened up a successful online cake business in downtown Vancouver, Canada. I've always loved working for myself and being my own boss. Creating my own working hours, figuring out how to make it all work and learning from all the trials and tribulations that came along with it. After running the business for 5 years, I sold the business and followed my dreams and moved to Costa Rica.I moved to Costa Rica in early 2014, tired of the cold, rain and snow.
I worked hard towards one major goal...to move somewhere warm and to create a simple life I didn't need a vacation from. I lived in Costa Rica for 6 years and started a business in the video production sector. From there I moved to Prague, Czech Republic and travelled around the world to 29 different countries including Sweden, Egypt, Spain, Panama, Italy, Germany, Nicaragua, Austria and so many more. I currently reside in the south of Spain.
Throughout my journey, I'm faced with endless adventures. I'm always learning new ways to become more self-sufficient and lead a happy, healthy, meaningful and stress-free life.
I got into coaching to help other professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs close the gap from where they are right now to where they want to be. I have years of experience and spent hundreds of hours coaching and helping individuals just like you, build authentic, fulfilling and financially rewarding careers and lives they love. I studied an intensive program for both life and business coaching and have been fully certified by the International Coach Federation (ICF). I specialize in entrepreneurship, relocation, personal growth, career development, self esteem, life purpose, change and fear.
In this blog, I will share with you tips and tricks to vanish doubt and disbelief. I'll teach you how to get rid of the most common fear, 'Fear of Failure' and I'll teach you how to get past your hurdles and obstacles so that you can start chasing after your dreams and truly start living the life you really want.
It's a pleasure to meet you and I hope to one day work with you!
