Monday Motivation - My courage to take a stand sets me apart.
|
Happy Monday Reader! You may remember I grew up listening to a lot of country music, and there are a few songs I think of often because their lyrics continue to be relevant. One of those songs is "You've Got to Stand for Something" by Aaron Tippin, and it's what loops in my mind along with this week's affirmation: "My courage to take a stand sets me apart." This week we're reminding ourselves that we have the courage to stand for something, so that, as Tippin sings, we don't fall for anything. Here in the USA, we're gearing up for an election year. Stay with me here...this is an apolitical post! Our elections get...pretty heated. And the theatrics start really early. By the time the actual election rolls around, I'm always exhausted from all the think pieces, panic, and attempts at reading the future. The presidential election in particular can be quite divisive. Taking a side or stance can seem like putting a target on your forehead. But showing up online for causes, or people, or values you believe in can set you apart. There are thousands, maybe millions, of people out there who believe the same things you do. But the only way they'll know you have the same values is if you take a stand for them. If you plant your flag in the ground and say, "This is what I believe in. These are non-negotiable for me." You will attract your people. The people it is easy to have conversations with, who will be raving fans of your business and you. Build the confidence to take your stand by repeating 21x/day this week: "My courage to take a stand sets me apart." ❤️ P.S. This was an apolitical post unless you're a Nazi. What I wrote is still true--there are plenty of Neo-Nazis out there who will support you! But not me. People spouting hate and intolerance have no place here. Yeah, I know this isn't a new or particularly novel stance, but it's always best to leave no doubts on this front, IMO. Be kind and treat others how they want to be treated, or GTFO.

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! Ready to make time for great things in 2024?

Hello Reader, Our affirmation stays the same this week: Today I bid farewell to old habits and welcome positive change to my life. But today you can listen to and/or watch me say our affirmation 21 times! While I am not a huge video or podcast fan--I find it hard to focus on audio only, and I'm a super fast reader so I always prefer text--there are a lot of others out there who are. And since my goal this year is to experiment with different ways to practice our affirmation, an audio version...
Hello Reader, Ahhhhhh, there's nothing like the new year for...procrastination?? Procrastination is totally normal and human, and it happens to all of us. I just happen to have a lot more of it lately than I'm used to. I'm currently writing this at the last minute, on Sunday afternoon while in the midwest we are in the middle of Snow-Pocalypse 2024! We got a lovely layer of ice yesterday, and we're expected to get almost a foot of snow on top of that. Hooray. My husband's in-service day has...
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...
