Holy heatwave  !

 

I’m back in NYC after 3 whirlwind weeks…

In the last 3 weeks, I’ve done some seriously cool sh*t:

  • Moved into my new house [soooo pretty]
  • Trapeze lessons –> video
  • Spent a relaxing weekend at Lake Tahoe
  • A trip to Medellín + Guatape, Colombia
  • Money empowerment workshop with Monica Shah
  • Met the Mythbusters guys [!!!]
  • ‘Saw’ my clients from this gorgeous ‘office’
  • Dinner at Alice Waters’ restaurant, Chez Panisse [OMG]
  • Fab lunch dates with fab friends Sarah + LiYana
  • *WON* at a bachelor auction [sent $6750 to charity]

 

Honestly, there is no freaking way I could have done all this cool stuff a year ago.  I was too BUSY being married to my business.

I WAS ALWAYS, ALWAYS BUSY.

Seriously, ask my friends…I was a terrible friend.

 

I had to fix it, and fast.  I felt like my life was getting distinctly un-fabulous.  I was living to work.  I had fallen out of love with my most precious gift – ME.

 

After all…

My clients want a coach who LOVES her life.

I want my friends and family to know I’m available.

I became an entrepreneur for MORE freedom, not less.

Life is happening NOW, not after 6 figures.

 

So I decided, regardless of my resources (money + time),

I would get fabulous, and fast.

I figured that all the rest would work itself out (and it did).

Check out my 4 fave strategies for feeling more fabulous NOW:

Book a trip.

Seriously, go somewhere.  Even if you have kids, bills to pay, clients to see, zero dollars in the bank.  When is life happening? Right. Now. Be creative, find a way to go somewhere FUN that works within your resources.  Now, put it in your calendar.  You’ll be surprised how the rest works itself out (and how excited you’ll feel to break up the routine).

Dress up.

Everyday.  Or almost every day.  Wear things that you enjoy wearing, that enjoy wearing you.  Accessorize until you feel ‘put together’.  Do not wear those horrible sweatpants with the writing on the butt that you got in college and would not be caught dead in.  You deserve to feel good at the grocery store, too.  You deserve to walk a little taller and swing those hips a little wider and get your flirt on, just because it’s Tuesday.

Phone a friend.

Why, oh why, do we torture ourselves in silence when we’re feeling stuck or sad?  Put down the merlot, turn off Alanis Morissette, and pick up the damn phone.  Call someone who will tell you how awesome you are and how great you’re doing, then will tell it to you straight.  If after a few minutes you start breathing from a deeper place in your lungs, you’ve called the right person.

Date yourself.

Once a week, take yourself on a date.  Make it everything a good date is – flirty, sexy, romantic, sweet and connected.  Pamper your date (you). Be good to her.  Compliment her on her fabulous choice of outfit.  Think about how hot she looks, even if she would protest at the mention of it.

Good Morning + Happy Wednesday!
…except that [as I write this] it’s the afternoon, and it’s Tuesday.

So now the secret’s out:
I wrote + scheduled this email in advance.
And it *absolutely* has not always been this way…

Over the past 5 years, there have been MANY LONG NIGHTS of newsletter writing + website tweaking + Facebook procrastinating + client emailing + nutrition researching + almond butter eating.

In other words, I was busting my ass + not always taking the very BEST care of myself.  I thought this is what it took to be an entrepreneur, to be a good person.  Then one day I woke up and realized that, in the wake of my unwieldy workload…
I owned a JOB, not a BUSINESS.

For all of you head-nodders, I offer this…

A Making-it-Happen Manifesto

You do not have to kill yourself to save them.

They will be happy with your happiness, after all.
You will be of greater service if you are served, after all.
The fuller your cup, the more will flow.
After all.

Your capacity to love + give + advise
is directly connected to the elegance
and gentleness you offer her, the one
you are most fully entrusted with [YOU].

You only have to love the healer, the helper,
the giver, the artist, more fiercely + deeply
than she has ever been loved [YOU].

Look at your intentions for others.
Are they love-filled?  Honest?  Empowering?

And now what of your intentions for yourself?

Wake each day, fiercely committed to doing that
which will propel your ship towards the sun.
Do that thing first.

For them, for you.
For all of humankind.

Discover what fuels your ship + sail it forth.
