Lately I’ve been making an effort to be very mindful about protecting my energy. So I thought I’d share a few thoughts about how you can tap into higher levels of protecting your energy. This is especially important when you have a lot happening and have to be careful not to become depleted (which is so me right now). It takes practice, but learning to gracefully say no to things in advance that you know will drain you or that you know you can’t give 100% to is an art that is so worth the effort. Raise your standards. Be highly selective with where you spend your precious energy. Edit…

Here are a few little thoughts to consider when moving forward into 2021 to help you create your very best year: 1) The best to create positive change is through deliberate action taken consistently.

Three P’s You Need to Create a Magical Life
There’s a word that most people would very much like to use when describing their life – magical. Something about that word just seems to say so much. For me, it’s a word that sparks so much feeling and vision. What exactly is a magical life and how do we begin creating one? I like to think of a magical life as a life filled with wonder, intention, love, compassion, and amazing experiences. A life filled with beauty and adventure on your own terms – that you create no matter your budget – whether that’s camping (or glamping!) in the woods, spending ample quality time with friends, or enjoying the…

That’s when you know you need a few handy tools to boost the positive energy in your life. You may occasionally find your usually positive self feeling a little grouchy or negative.

How to Take Your Power Back When You’re Feeling Overwhelmed
When you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or just out of sorts in general – here is the secret to taking your power back and creating a massive shift fast… Radical Self-Care. I’m not talking about your basic day-to-day self care and bare minimum maintenance, but an actual full-scale mission to self-care and self-love yourself back into a good place again…back to YOU. This mission, should you choose to accept it (please do!), may take anywhere from a day or two to a few weeks, and your soul will tell you when it’s complete. Willingness to put your self care at the top of your list is truly the magic formula…

A Tip for When You Feel Invisible
We can all feel a bit invisible sometimes. As humans, some of our core desires are to feel seen and heard. With all I do, it may be hard to believe that sometimes I feel invisible. But I do now and then. Sometimes we just don’t feel seen or like we’re making a difference (no matter how untrue that may be), and that can be disheartening. Funny, though, how we receive little reminders from the Universe that everything is okay. That we do matter. Yesterday, that came in the form of a letter from a reader of my book Operation Happiness telling me that listening to the audio version has…

Love Yourself More
Love yourself MORE. Love yourself more than any job. Love yourself more than anything and everything that drains you. Walk away. Love yourself more. Love yourself more than any romantic partner, so you can be at your best for that amazing person person who deserves the best version of you. Or, so you can be strong enough to let go – no matter how fun or charismatic – of any person who would dare disrespect you or treat you as anything less than the beautiful soul that you are. Love yourself more. Love yourself more than anything you may find yourself addicted to. Say to yourself, “I love myself more…
