Happy Friday & Happy New Year!!
I know we are a week into the year and this is the first time you’ve heard from me and for very good reason! I was pretty sick over the last few weeks and am just finally getting back on track with all the things. Luckily I also have a lot of fun things to share with you today so let’s dive right in.
Before we get to today’s Friday 5, I want to make sure you know about a couple of things…
1. If you haven’t grabbed the 2019 Year-end Masterclass you can do so HERE.
2. Monday I will be sharing all the details about the NEW group program that will set you up for success in 2020. So if you’ve been looking for some guidance, support and accountability to get you excited for a new year and a new decade make sure you open your email Monday because I’ll have some fun bonus info there for you too! I am so excited!!!
With that said let’s get into this week’s Friday 5…
_____________________________________________________________________________
1. Be easy. This is the time of year when we are all setting big visions for what we want to create in the new year and all the changes we are going to make. And to be honest, most of us try to do too much, too fast and we end up failing at most of it. (I’m talking to myself too.) As I was thinking about this in my own life, I thought…why not be a bit easy on myself? Instead of diving in to do “all the things” at once, why not layer the new habits in bit-by-bit in order to give them a better chance of sticking?
As it turns out this is what I’ve done with my business, mindset practice and my workout regime so I know it works! If this is something you’re struggling with this is your invitation to be easy with yourself. Choose one or two things to focus on first and be easy about it all. And if you want specific details on how to layer it in so you can be successful make sure you check out (and sign up for) the program I’m dropping on Monday. I’m going to walk you through how do to that with new habits AND your mindset.
2. “It’s just you against you.” I wish I could say this is my own quote, but it’s not. Over the holidays I ended up watching the movie Creed and this was one of the quotes that hit me to my core because it’s so true.
In whatever we are doing in life…it’s truly only US against US. Meaning it’s us agains our mindset, beliefs, habits, actions, thoughts, etc. So when you think about what you want to be, have and do…it really only boils down to YOU. That is both an empowering and maybe scary thing to consider depending on how you see it. I choose to see it as empowering because I know that it’s up to ME to do the things I want to do in this life and it’s all within my control if I’m focused on my mindset and beliefs and the same is true for you. (And yes, if you need help with this, check out the info that drops on Monday because we are going to address this too!)
3. Love it all. One of the messages that came up multiple times in December was that everything that happens to us and around us is for a reason and the more we resist it, the longer it lingers. The message “love it all” kept popping up in various readings, videos, and messages I was receiving about all kinds of things in my life including being sick.
What I’ve learned is that when you “love it all” you’re no longer in resistance. Instead, you are allowing and accepting “what is” and when that is combined with a focus and belief in what you desire to come it tends to speed things up. The momentum of the “problem” slows down and the “solution” is able to emerge. And if you are loving the good stuff already, well more good stuff comes. It’s a win/win!
4. Write new rules for your life. This message came up in two client calls this week and so I’m sharing it with you. Most of us have some unwritten “rules” that we live by in our lives that have likely been passed down by society, family members or experiences we’ve had in our lives. Over time these rules become so ingrained we don’t even realize how they may limit our lives.
This is your reminder that you get to write new rules for your life. You get to be a successful mother/wife/entrepreneur if you choose. You also get to be a first time published author at the age of 65 if you choose. You GET TO choose what you want and you can have it too. I invite you to spend some time thinking about the unwritten rules you’ve been living by that are no longer serving you and rewrite them. You get to choose!
5. Ask, receive, follow. This week has been full of a lot of “stuff” to say the least and one of the big messages I got was a three part process to move forward in our lives. It’s pretty simple and you may have heard it before, but Thursday I experienced a massive message in just how powerful (and quick) this process is.
–> Ask. Ask for help, support, guidance and solutions. You can ask the Universe, guides, angels etc. It doesn’t matter what you call it as long as you are clear that it’s for your highest good, simply use something that works best for you and ask for support.
–> Receive. Once you ask, you must be open to the guidance you receive because you will receive it. The key here is not to discount anything. Songs, messages, repeating numbers, phone calls, books, quotes etc. Be open to the message and receive it.
–> Follow. Follow the guidance you’ve been given. Sometimes there isn’t a specific action to take when you receive guidance, and in those cases you can simply say thank you and recognize that you’ve received confirmation of your ask. When you do receive a message to act…follow it as soon as you can.
The truth is we are always being guided in this life and we have so many opportunities to receive guidance, support and love that we need. All we have to do is ask, be open to receive it and take action as we feel called to. That’s how miracles are born friends.
So there you have it friends! Your first Friday 5 of 2020!
Remember to check your emails on Monday because I’ve got something BIG coming your way.
