Happy Monday Reader! Last week's affirmation opened our minds to opportunities to create or discover abundance. This week's affirmation takes the next step in our efforts to cultivate an abundance mindset--believing we deserve abundance. "I am worthy of all the success and abundance coming my way." I'm still a work in progress at cultivating my abundance mindset. But when I keep it top of mind, I see results! Here's how this has showed up in my life since last week: I'm partnering with a grants writing specialist, and my first task was going through the list of potential grant opportunities she compiled for me. Most of these grants have been around for a while, so they have testimonials and success stories from prior winners displayed prominently on their websites. And boy did reading those amazing stories turn my imposter syndrome, inner critic voice up to 11! "Wow she's amazing. I'm not doing anything that meaningful." "Who cares about my little for-profit business that made less than $10,000 last year?" And the worst, most insidious thought: "Maybe I shouldn't even bother." When our brains tell us these thoughts they feel 100% true. But it's actually your brain trying to protect you from the new, the unknown, the scary, and the risky. Because thousands of years ago, the unknown meant bears! Lions! Possible sudden death! Nowadays, most of what I'm risking is my pride. Looking or feeling foolish. Being embarrassed. And my oh-so-helpful brain wants to protect me from potentially experiencing unpleasant feelings too. But you know and I know that stepping out of our comfort zone is vital to growing our business. To creating that abundance we crave. So this week we take the next step in convincing our brains that new, unknown success and abundance is a good thing. It's not a fluke, and we deserve all the good things we are working so damn hard to create. Join me in repeating 21x every day: "I am worthy of all the success and abundance coming my way." ❤️ P.S. Brain still telling you that you're unworthy? Getting an outside, objective opinion is a great cure!

Hello Reader, Our affirmation stays the same this week: I have all the time I need. Remember: If you don't have all the time you need, there are only 2 ways to create it: Delete items from your to-do list or Delegate items from your to-do list I've been thinking a lot over the past week about having all the time I need for my hobbies. As a working adult, I don't always have time for my hobbies! And my hobbies are seasonal to an extent too. I don't need nearly as much time for gardening in the...
