WITHOUT EVER APOLOGIZING

Ever think about who you need to become in order to have a life and business you love? I say it’s about authenticity and not about struggling, beating yourself up or, trying to fit into any lame cookie cutter molds. Sometimes going slow, working out the kinks and deciding to make choices that deeply support the ‘future you’ are way more beneficial than quick fixes and band-aid cover-ups.
Life Lovin’ Secret #1: What I’m experiencing is part of the plan.
So I want to get a little woo-woo on you here and remind you – you’re a soul who came here with a purpose that’s so unique and special – there will only ever be one you!
There will never be anyone like you again and that means your dreams and desires are unique too. It’s ok if what you see for yourself is different than what others are creating in their lives. Own your special talents and gifts because they make you who you are.
Put a hand on your heart and repeat these words:
I am incredible and beautiful because I was born.
I’m unique, talented, beautiful, kind, daring and passionate in all of the ways the Universe requires me to be to fulfill my purpose.
When I feel I’m off track I will remind myself I’m exactly where I need to be.
Nothing I experience is a mistake.
It’s safe for me to be seen and to love myself completely.
Life Lovin’ Secret #2: Get crystal clear on what you want and don’t apologize for it.
The biggest mistake I often see women making is choosing a life based upon what their friends have, what their parents expect or what they see celebrities or idols doing. It’s out of alignment with you and what you deeply, truly want for yourself and that’s why it isn’t flowing like you wish it were!
The key is to pay close attention to what you really want. I mean, what you actually, deeply, passionately want for yourself and for your life.
Take some time out of your day each and every morning to center into what you deeply and truly want for your life. Once you have your visual of what your life can look like, you can ask your intuition for steps to take you there. It can be exciting to see this dream and want to leap into it but small actionable steps are better than huge leaps that can bring up resistance or pain.
I want to remind you that taking these small steps in leaning into who you are and what you truly and deeply want for your life is brave. Trust yourself in knowing that having a life you love is about cultivating pure love for yourself by honoring your boundaries and tapping into what you really want for your life.
