Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”

~Albert Einstein

Hey there beautiful,

Hope you’re enjoying this final day of winter {though if you’re here in Cali with me, ya know it’s pretty much been summer all year!}.

Nonetheless, this transition of seasons can be a powerful opportunity for us to reflect upon our path and take steps in the direction of our dreams.

I know sometimes this can be challenging because we can so easily get stuck in the “I’m not good enough” or “I’m not ready” or “What if ____?” {feel free to fill in the blank…there’s plenty of reasons not to move forward, that’s for sure!}.

But let’s get real for a minute, since you’re reading this, I know that you are ready for so much more. You are ready to live beyond those fears and doubts to truly create the life you desire.

So whether you’re hoping for a change in your career, your relationship, or in your own mind, here’s a simple practice to help you strengthen your confidence muscles.

{This inspiration is directly from Kate Northrup and her interview with Marie Forleo…check it out HERE, you’ll LOVE these ladies!}

Value YOU

Your assignment {if you’re up for it!}:

1. Set aside 10 minutes each day for personal reflection…you choose when works best for you.

2. Schedule this in…literally write it on your calendar! {Make YOU a priority and use your planner to hold yourself accountable.}

3. When the times comes, find a quiet place to be. Close your eyes, breathe deep and slow for a few moments. Place your hand over your heart and tune in.

4. Ask yourself: What do I value about ME? And what value do I add to the world?

5. Now, go to your journal {if you don’t have one yet, choose something lovely that invites you to write and play with your thoughts + feelings + desires + dreams}…write at least 3 things you value about yourself.

Simple, right?

Do this each day and I promise you will feel the shifts beginning in your mindset…you’ll start to notice and appreciate what you love about yourself + how you add value to the world around you.

Need some inspiration?

Here’s mine for today:

1. I value my optimism and ability to see the silver lining in every situation.

2. I value my open~mindedness and commitment to lifelong learning + growth.

3. I value my loving heart + the inspiring words I share with the people around me.

Let this be playful and fun…let your practice inspire you.

I’ll check in with you next week  and see how you’re doing…if you have any questions or insights or aha moments, I’d love to hear!

Looking forward to radical self love + transformation…and oh so much JOY in the journey!
