Monday Motivation - I focus on what I can control & release the rest.

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." |

Hello Reader, Do you remember learning about "opportunity cost" in school? Opportunity cost is the potential forgone profit from a missed opportunity. In simpler terms, the result of choosing one thing over another. Literally every decision we make comes with opportunity cost, including how we spend our time. I release guilt and negative thoughts around how I spend my time. Instead of feeling guilty or beating yourself up for making a certain choice about how you spent your time yesterday or...

Hello Reader, Our affirmation stays the same this week: I am eager. I am energized. I am open. I am ready. Do you believe in manifesting? That you can think or will something into being? It sounds like total woo-woo BS, right?! I was a complete skeptic until my coach had me try it years ago. It worked in a few unexpected ways then, and now it's happened again! After I wrote last week's email, I received an email asking about my coaching services for a business team. This is not an opportunity...
