You’ll naturally do the work consistently and with discipline when your motivation is love. ✨ Every year for the last 5 years I’ve chosen a “word of the year.” ✨ More powerful than any “resolution” I’ll ever set, it’s the #intention I return to always, no matter what‘s going on. ✨ (Last year it was “Grace” and those who watched my #paintopurpose series know exactly what had me clinging to that word for dear life!! #BuddhaTakeTheWheel 😩💔🧘🏾‍♀️) ✨ ✨ My word of 2019 is DEVOTION. ✨ ✨ I thought consistent...then I thought disciplined and both made me feel blah. 🙄 🤷🏾‍♀️ ✨ I chose devotion because it speaks to loving myself, my mission, my clients, and the world so much I’ll do whatever it takes and be fully committed. ✨ Share your word of the year below! Dying to know!! ✨ #2019 #devotion #findyourshine #entrepreneurlife #toolsofthetrade
I wanted to share a realization I recently had about #goals. Last year I promised myself that instead of doing all the doing for the holidays, I would make a concerted effort to be silent and introspective (read: lounge around in my pj’s all day with books Netflix and a journal nearby) or enjoy the #JoshuaTree shenanigans happening right before and after this pic. . I was so proud of myself for saying no to additional work so I could give myself the “gift of self-care” and all that jazz... here’s where things went wrong. . I started the year beating no myself up for being “behind” and by January 2nd I was in full-fledged anxiety mode. . Here’s the rub: in terms of my business, I’m doing better than I’ve ever been before. So who or what exactly was I “behind”? Proof my “high achiever” mind plays tricks on me. . I share this because maybe you’rea an achiever who's fallen into this societal/self-imposed trap of non-stop “doing” in order to feel valuable and worthy. . This 🍌s idea that time is running out and if it doesn’t happen THIS month - right NOW - because it’s the new year and everyone else is (fill in the blank) and and if you don’t (fill in the blank), then you’ve already failed. . Well, I’ve decided no more. On January 2nd I sat in meditation with the intention to breakthrough this BS story & I had this thought come through . “Success comes only from feeling good.” . When I force myself into action because I think I “have to” it feels like 💩 and things don’t go well. When I take action in my own time with confidence and decisiveness I have amazing results. . So, know this: your time is the right time. . There’s still plenty of time left to make 2019 your best year ever! . If your best year ever look like the launch or visibility of your business, hit the bio and schedule a strategy #coaching session with me. (There are only 15 slots available this month!) . . . . . #lets_get_vulnerable #findyourshine #startupwomen #mystory #shemeansbusiness #careersuccess #wearecreativeeconomy #entreprenuereducation #creativebusiness #smallbiz
Look... (that’s how I start a sentence when I’m about to drop the hammer), what’s keeping you from catapulting in your life and business is thinking you need to become MORE. More education, more skills, more practice, more degrees, which takes more TIME. “More” is the perfect recipe for procrastination, hesitation and dreams that die with you. . . No. . . My philosophy is a little different. . . You need only uncover and tap into what is already there - inside. . . Beneath your fear, your insecurity, and your self judgement you are already a diamond. . . No more waiting. #FindYourShine and share it now. The world is waiting for you to realize you’re already there. . . #mondaymotivation #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #businessstrategist
