What happens when you stop trying to be perfect…

And instead be perfectly you? What do you say and do? How do you show up in the world? What happens when you decide that you aren’t going to try to match what you think that other people want from you and instead act on and from your intuition? What does it look like toContinue reading “What happens when you stop trying to be perfect…”

Make a list of all the ways that you want to feel. Do you want to feel confident? Smart? Alluring? Abundant? Come up with as many things as you can. Now, we’re going to do a little exercise.

In what areas of your life are you fighting yourself?

In other words, where do you have conflicting desires or stories? Do you want more money but also believe that it is evil? Do you want to be pretty but hate all the pretty girls? Do you desire to change careers but feel that you’re too old? If you truly desire something but are holdingContinue reading “In what areas of your life are you fighting yourself?”

If you didn’t have any stories about what is possible, what would you do?

Do you remember being a child? The possibilities for what you could do were endless… until we learned to “be realistic”. Back then, you were going to be a doctor-ballerina-firefighter-cowgirl or some other “crazy” combination of careers that only a child could dream of. Maybe you always dreamed of being a doctor. It’s never tooContinue reading “If you didn’t have any stories about what is possible, what would you do?”

Why are you so amazing?

The world can be cruel. People can be very quick to point out our faults. (Not that we need them to.) If that weren’t enough, we tend to be our own harshest critics. Today’s prompt is to go the other way. List all the ways you are amazing. Remember, this is your journal, so noContinue reading “Why are you so amazing?”

What is your numberContinue reading “If you could snap your fingers and change one thing in your life, what would it be?”

How would it feel if there were nothing wrong with you?

The only thing wrong with you is that you think there is something wrong with who you are. How’s that for a controversial statement? But what if it were true? What if the only areas of your life that truly need work are the ones where you’re trying to or pretending to be someone else?Continue reading “How would it feel if there were nothing wrong with you?”

What are your top three priorities?

Have you ever sat down and thought about your priorities? I recommend that you do. Pick your top three. Figure out what the three most important things are that you want to work on. Then base your decisions about what you do and don’t do based on whether it moves the needle on these. OnceContinue reading “What are your top three priorities?”

What are you exceptional at doing?

I’m sure you could come up with a laundry list of things you’re good at doing. You can probably even list a number of things that you’re great at doing (your talents). But the question is – what are you EXCEPTIONAL at? What can you do better than anyone else you know? What can youContinue reading “What are you exceptional at doing?”
