It doesn't have to be complicated


It doesn't have to be complicated.

It really doesn't.

A lot of what we do to complicate really simple things is just that. Our thoughts, feelings, and stories we create in our heads that don't help us cut through the noise to see things clearly.

As an overthinking, over-anxious, chronic worrier and miss-worst-case scenario, I'm an expert at making up elaborate stories in my head until I get myself worked up into a frenzy over nothing.

It's happened enough times that when I catch myself doing this now, I tell myself I'm making stories up.

Besides, what's the worst thing that can happen? Even if my worst-case scenarios come true, which they often haven't, I will either survive it or I won't. If I do survive it, I'll learn something. If I don't, well, I don't.

I don't mean to sound morbid or fatalistic, but sometimes it helps to just see it for what it is.

In case you're wondering how I manage to see things clearly like that, it's been through a combination of daily practice of meditation, journaling, and using the MAP Method so I don't let feelings like fear, worry, or stress about things I have no control over distract me from achieving my goals and creating the life I want.

I'm sharing my journaling practice next week.

Journaling is such a simple and powerful method you can use anytime, anywhere to gain clarity, insight, release, and relief from fears and anxiety.

Reader, What's your first reaction when you don't get what you want, when you want it? Self-doubt? Frustration? Disappointment? It's easy to make up a story about why you're not where you want to be. And our brains love defaulting to the negative version. What if you could turn any 'difficult' or 'challenging' situation into an opportunity? Imagine how much more empowering that'd be. In this week's episode, I share how I see disappointments and frustrations as opportunities and how I use them...

Reader, I never wanted to be a mom. Until I became one. That's how many of my most rewarding accomplishments in life and career have been. So now I've learned never to say never. Instead, I stay open to what life offers me, embracing the challenges as an opportunities to discover why and how it will turn out to be the best thing for me. Like: reluctantly becoming our family's sole/primary earner. getting into a 6-figure business debt from a failed business. delaying my dream of quitting my...
