Morning Mantra: “Focus on improving yourself, not on proving yourself.”

In this New Year it's time to stop worrying about other people understanding and accepting you and to start getting in touch with yourself instead. Focus on what makes YOU happy, what makes your soul feel at peace.

You are your biggest commitment, so start loving your flaws, your awkwardness, your weirdness, your intensity, your vulnerability, your everything. Whether other people do or not. This year is the year you let the need for their approval go.

Of course it's great to be self-aware of areas in your life that you want to improve to be the best version of yourself, but do it for YOU. Don't do anything because you think you need to keep others happy, or because you need to change WHO you are.

Life becomes so much more fulfilling when you just simply be and accept yourself. The world keeps spinning whether people understand and accept you or not, so why not make this next trip around the sun about YOU.

Morning Mantra: “Sometimes you don’t feel the weight of something you’ve been carrying until you feel the freedom of its release.”

This year, I will learn to step away from people in spaces where I don’t feel valued. I will stop over explaining, forcing connections, and seeking validation from others.
I will trust my intuition, set boundaries, and remove my energy without guilt.

I realize that protecting my peace is essential, and that choosing myself is the greatest act of self-love.

In the process of letting go you will lose many things, but you will find out what and who really matters.

Morning Mantra: “Be so completely yourself that everyone else feels safe to be themselves too.”

When you truly don’t care about what anyone else thinks of you, you’ve reached an awesome level of freedom. Freedom from judgement, freedom from criticism, freedom from opinion, freedom to be fully yourself, and freedom to offer others a safe place to be themselves.

It must be a safe space where other people can be who they really are. Where people are met with compassion and grace. Where everyone can just be who they were born to be for their journey here.

Morning Mantra: “If you don’t take the reins, it’s going to stay the same. Nothin’s gonna change if you don’t change it.”

This quote by Dolly Parton perfectly describes how WE must help ourselves, take action, and do something to move ourselves in a better direction.

I have known a few people that complain about their lives, jobs, relationship, fitness, health and so on, but they rarely DO anything to change it. They have a problem for every solution.

It’s helpful to recognize where things need to change, but that needs to be followed up with action. Start by writing down a goal. Then break it down into tiny actionable steps.

If you don’t know what the steps are, research, ask, or guess. These are even considered steps in the direction of your best self. Every time you get to cross something off that list towards your goal, you will gain the energy to do the next step, then the next.

Morning Mantra: “You are worthy of love, you are worthy of acceptance, you are worthy of happiness.”

Sometimes we question our worth based on societal standards. You feel less worthy if you don’t have a certain lifestyle, make a certain amount of money, didn’t plan for retirement, don’t drive a new car, aren’t fit or able bodied. The list is endless because there is always another standard to meet.

That’s all a bunch of b.s.

Worthiness is something you are born with. You are already worthy, and you are ALWAYS worthy. Not according to some imaginary standard, but according to God.

Don’t let anyone (including yourself) question your worth. You deserve every happiness, abundance and love in this life.
