Monday Motivation - I am exactly where I need to be.
|
Happy Monday Reader! Well, last week kicked my butt! I'm still adjusting to my new schedule, and it's been more of a struggle than I expected! I didn't write out my week in my planner like I usually do, and that came back to bite me in the ass. I managed my time pretty poorly...which feels like a shameful thing to admit as your time creation coach! But as I encourage my clients to give themselves grace when they mess up, and to look at it as information, I can do the same for myself. "I am exactly where I need to be." If I had a client in this situation, first I'd recommend taking a look at what habits fell off this past week and re-implementing the ones that helped in the past. For me, that's gonna be making sure I plan out the upcoming week on Friday. (Forgive me, Kelsey, for taking our weekly Power Hour for granted! Now I see the error of my ways.) I will make sure I allow buffer time in between commitments, so I don't feel as stressed and rushed when things inevitably take longer than I expect. I will block out prep time on my calendar, instead of hoping it will magically appear. And I will plan in some self-care / rest time over the weekend so I don't find myself out of resilience by Tuesday! It can be hard to feel like we backslide on things we had down pat. But as I like to say, we have to fall off the wagon to see how the wagon (aka our habits) was helping us. So even though this is an uncomfortable place to be, it is the right place for me right now. And if you also find yourself in an uncomfortable spot in any area right now, embrace it as much as you can by repeating 21x/day: "I am exactly where I need to be." As always, affirmations work best when you truly believe them. They need to resonate with you and feel achievable. So feel free to modify any I suggest, or develop entirely new ones! Say them as long as you want. I'm sharing a new affirmation each week, but that doesn't mean you have to switch it up each week unless it feels right. You can add new ones as often as you want and have as many as you want. You can say a different affirmation every day, or at different times of the day. You choose! I'd love to hear the impact it has! (But if you decide affirmations are not for you, click here to be removed from this weekly email.) I hope this affirmation sets you up for a kick ass week and I'll see you next Monday for a new one to try! I always have time for you. ❤️ -- Jen |

Hello Reader, Today is the winter solstice in the norther hemisphere, and so after this, the days will start getting longer again! Hooray!! Of course, it will be hard to tell at first. But that's the eternal tale of all change and progress, isn't it? You have to just keep going for weeks or months until you can look back and see how much is different. In honor of the darkest day of the year I wanted to offer you a couple free opportunities for learning & growth with me! If you missed my first...
Hello Reader! When we allow ourselves to slow down, we create breathing room, time, and space to evaluate our lives and work. Along those lines, I've been thinking a lot about how I want my business to look in 2025. I'm considering a pivot in my services & offerings, and I've decided to change things up here as well! I'll still be in your inbox every Monday morning with a positive message to empower your week. But there will be new surprises and treats too! It's increasingly important to me...
Hello Reader, It's the countdown to the end of the year. In my social feeds I am bombarded with two conflicting messages: the entrepreneurship crowd is pushing for finishing 2024 strong and knocking our goals out of the park. While the more spiritual or self help accounts are usually pointing out that nature slows down in the winter, so we can too, and not feel guilty about hustling less. This year, I am definitely in that latter camp! I'm heavily affected by the shorter days & colder...
