Hello Reader, Hopefully you had a chance to process any big emotions you had after the election, and to make new plans if needed. (Although it was a full moon last week, so YMMV!) Election results can be a visible and visceral reminder of how little control we have, especially at a national or global level. We do our best by casting our own vote, by campaigning ahead of time, promoting or supporting the candidates and causes we believe in, and possibly attempting to change hearts and minds around us...but in the end we can't control the outcome. So if election results--or anything else in your life!--has you feeling despair or helplessness, you definitely need today's affirmation! "I focus on what I can control & release the rest." Neither you nor I were responsible for the election results. We aren't responsible for global warming, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, or systemic inequality. But these are the types of things that can keep us up at night or give us anxiety attacks. Because they certainly exist, they are certainly harmful, and there is a lot of messaging telling us we are responsible for fixing them. But trying to fix everything and everyone is a recipe for burnout. And working yourself into the ground isn't the answer. Instead, we must pick and choose our battles. And it's not cowardly, it's smart to be choosy! Being discerning about how we use our limited time, energy, and attention matters. Keeping us overwhelmed is one way toxic systems keep us powerless, and you and me? We're onto that trick. We aren't going to be distracted. We're going to stay laser focused this week by repeating 21x/day: "I focus on what I can control & release the rest." |
Time is the single most valuable thing we have. I help busy business owners get out of overwhelm to work fewer hours in their business (without sacrificing income!) so they can get back to enjoying their business and their life again.
Hello Reader, Our affirmation stays the same this week: I love the person I am and the person I am becoming. The person you are today is very different than who you were a year ago, and you will look different a year from now too! Do you love the person you are becoming?? The good news is: you can always change it! Changing & improving ourselves is simple, but not easy. It's straightforward and simple to know what to do, but the how is not always clear. How do we set ourselves up for success?...
Hello Reader, February is the season of love with Valentine’s Day halfway through the month. So what better time to practice a self love affirmation?? 😉 I love the person I am and the person I am becoming. One of the things I think about a lot is how many of my beliefs about myself—about my limitations in particular—were learned. I wasn’t born hating specific things about my body or my appearance. I wasn’t born thinking I needed to change certain aspects of my personality in order to be loved...
