Welcome to the In My Skin. I’m David Cohen founder of In My Skin, your host, moderator, guide and mentor if you’d like. Please allow me to share a bit about myself. I was raised in a very dysfunctional home. At 13 I got caught up in alcohol & drugs and can’t really account for 15 years of my life. After getting clean in 1992, I was guided by many mentors and taught that all my challenges were due to a lack of spiritual connection, and that success in all areas of life were based on that. They taught me that if I wanted to live free and happy, I had to change how I thought, felt and acted. This had nothing to do with drugs of booze. Since that time I’ve enjoyed a phenomenal life. I’ve built many successful businesses, I have a great family, and am excited in the morning to have another day.
Though I must admit it’s not always easy, sometimes I’m thrown a curve and strike out. In the last few years I’ve had many challenges as I was in Real Estate development, and we’ll we all know how that’s going. And actually as I write this I my credit score is crashing and filing BK might still be a necessary option, absolutely the last option but an option. “Update” Despite continued efforts I did in fact file bankruptcy. This is not where I thought I’d find myself at 46. Once my pride and ego recovered from the initial blow, I was able to look at what all this has taught me. “WOW” I sure learned some things I won’t do over.
But it’s not who I am, I’m so much more than the external things that arise in my life. See, over the last 16 years I’ve learned certain principles that allow me to live free, happy and fulfilled regardless of what’s going around me. And these are things I’ll share with you. Take what you relate with and what will work for you and toss the rest. But please be honest with yourself, open and willing to explore new ideas and ways of thinking. Life isn’t always easy. But, it doesn’t have to be hard. New answers will come just don’t quit before the miracle happens.
I am really excited to be able to share these same principles with you, share my thoughts and the hard personal life lessons I’ve learned of how to be wealthy, healthy, content and successful “In My Skin”. Life’s a journey!!!! Sometimes it’s about baby steps. We’ll never cross the finish line because it’s always moving and changing. We need to constantly be working on the six critical areas of life that matter in order to feel complete and be comfortable In Your Skin.
- Emotional Well Being (Being excited about life even when challenging, personal success)
- Physical Health (Being energized, good health, stamina)
- Spiritual Connection (Feeling a part of the world around you)
- Financial Security (No Debt, Money saved, Adequate retirement, freedom)
- Relational Completeness ( Feeling, receiving and giving love)
- Social Acceptance ( Able to just be YOU, everywhere all the time)
These are the areas we’re going to explore with you. Mastery in them all would be great but let’s be realistic, if we try to achieve success in all these at the same time we’d most likely fail, become overwhelmed, discouraged and ultimately achieve no growth in any. Also there’s no magic pill. We need to start with just one area and dig deep. But you have to want to change it or make it better. “Do You Want Change In Your Life?” In a quote from my friend Kristen Moeller, author of “Waiting for Jack” ” This is not your practice life”…… It’s the real deal.
