When you see other people succeed, your mind may want to trick you into beating yourself up and engaging in endless comparison. Remember:

​

• What others are doing says nothing about you

 

• Someone succeeding doesn't mean you're failing

 

• Everyone is on a different journey and having struggles & challenges that we aren’t witness to

 

• Let others' success inspire you, not defeat you 

​

• Focus on your goals and responsibilities

When you feel like you’re using an old map to navigate a new terrain, you know you’re called to grow and evolve. This is how we feel when as adults we move through the world with old beliefs that no longer represent who we are.
 
Instead of feeling like leaders of our life, we feel like passive observers, as if life happens to us and there’s nothing we can do about it but react, survive, or hide.
 
From place of fear the only thing we can create is more of what we don’t want. It’s conditioned, old you against intentional, true you.
 
When you identify and shift your beliefs to reflect a truer, more authentic version of who you are now, your life will change to reflect this internal shift.


​If you:

• Feel ready to leave the past where it belongs
• Want to be intentional of your thoughts and actions
• Want to stand in your authenticity, self-trust, and confidence
• Want to create and sustain habits that support who you want to be

I’d love to support you!
 
As your coach or a therapist, my role is to help you identify what keeps you stuck in recreating what you say you don’t want, to support your self-trust and authenticity so you can feel like a leader of your life, not just a passive observer.

Always treat yourself in the same way you’re asking others to treat you. If you want others to behave a certain way towards you, be honest with yourself first:

Are you treating yourself in the same way?
Are you asking others to fulfill needs that even you’re not sure how to fulfill?

In honor of my 37th birthday (and totally inspired by Kevin Kelly’s unsolicited advice he offered on his birthday), I decided to share 37 pieces of insights, practical wisdom, and reflections that I (do my best to) live by or that helped me sometimes throughout my life.
​Some of these are personal observations through my own experiences and others are lessons I collected from others.
 
Take any that may serve you and let go of the ones that don’t. Here are the first 5!
 
1. When frustrated or impatient, zoom out of the present moment and focus on the big picture. If it is not a life-changing decision, do your best with what you have and move on. 

2. Stop rushing, *there* is not better than *here*. It’s about the journey, so learn how to enjoy the process of getting there.

3. If you need to force something, maybe it’s not meant for you in this moment.

4. Facts don’t hurt, only painful stories we tell ourselves hurt. If you’re willing to let go of the painful story and focus on the facts, your pain will diminish.
​
5. Most things we stress about, turn out to be completely irrelevant and they don’t make any dent in our lives.
