Negative thoughts are massive energy suckers. They recruit your creativity in service of overthinking, solving problems that don't exist, or attempting to control people and circumstances you have no control over.

Empowering self-talk has to be an intentional practice before it becomes a habit. If you commit to lifting yourself up daily, it will become your internal voice.
 
We become good at things we do (practice) each day.
 

Every thought that enters your mind is just as a suggestion.
 
Throughout the day you will receive thousands of thoughts (suggestions), but you don’t have to take each one seriously.

​In your present you give thought to your future so that when you get to that future time, your future has been prepaved, or prepared, for you by you.
 
And so, much that you are experiencing today is as a result of your thoughts about today that you thought yesterday and the day before and the year before and the year before.

​Personal growth, whether it’s trough self-healing, coaching, or therapy is about unlearning what no longer supports you, returning to your own knowing, and becoming more of your true self.

"It’s not your job to tell yourself no. It’s not your job to deny yourself opportunities. It’s not your job to prevent your own progress. There are enough people in the world who will do those things for you."
​-James Clear

We grow and change by overcoming our fears, not by avoiding them. 

Think of all the firsts that were uncomfortable and scary at the beginning, but now they come as a second nature.

Every new obstacles can either become an excuse or a new goal. 

When working towards a particular goal or result, there is a great possibility that you will come across an unexpected obstacle.

Each new day is bringing us a choice: to do the things we’ve always done (and if that works-keep doing more of that)… or to do something differently.

Don’t wait for others to change so you can be happy. If you do, you're letting others be in charge of your happiness or peace of mind. 

If you don’t practice receiving, envisioning, and embodying what you most desire, a part of you will keep resisting it, and it will always be something you’re chasing.

Don’t waste today’s opportunities by dwelling on yesterday’s regrets.

Today is the only time you can make a change.

Today you can start again and try something new.

What you tell yourself about yourself is a story, not a fact. It may feel like a fact because you’ve been attached to that story your whole life. You’ve kept that story alive with your thoughts and behaviors.

Always ask yourself first. Questions about your life are not for anyone but you to answer. Decisions are yours to make and if those decisions take you down the path you don’t like, you can always make another decision.

Comparison is a sneaky soul sucker.

​When you compare yourself to others, you zoom in on one single aspect of someone’s life that you believe is better than yours.

You will not always: know what to do, how to do it, be motivated, believe in yourself, feel confident, think you are capable, be a supportive partner, keep your cool, etc.

It's the first day of the new year.

A great time to decide what you'd like to leave behind and what you'd like to create more of. Here is my suggestion.

​Leave behind the heaviness of self-judgment, doubt, and pressure. You deserve more from yourself. 

Your past can’t show you what you’re capable of creating.
 
Most people turn towards their past to inform them what’s possible and what isn’t.

Before you determine that what you want is unrealistic or too damn big, remember that the only reason you think that is because it hasn’t happened in the time you thought it should happen.

What if you decided that:

• Fear of looking stupid won’t hold you back anymore?

• Potential failure isn’t a good reason not to try?

• Your greatest experiences are ahead of you?
