I know in the midst of the holidays, life can get busy. Between family, friends, parties, presents, there’s a lot that goes on and usually our self-care regimen is the first thing to be put on the back burner until January. It’s just so much more snuggly to stay cozy in bed than to go for that morning run, right?
You’re normally on your game with your self-care routine.
Maybe you’re not 100% every week perfect. But you get in your stretching, your workouts, your regular manicures, and occasionally indulge in a massage or a facial when you feel you need it bad enough.Â
The thing is, while practicing that self-care routine is great, it’s all external.
You can do the tasks. You can hit your workouts. You can get your mani-pedis on the reg, but if you’re missing the internal self-care those tasks are just a brief boost of endorphins. Kind of like watching a motivational video on Facebook. You feel good for a minute, maybe even an hour, but after that initial endorphin rush drops, you’re left b...
One Sunday morning I rolled over in bed and did something unusual, I started scrolling through Facebook. A gut instinct told me to do it. I stumbled across a video that changed me. Picture this…
Combine the gloriousness of all that is Justin Timberlake and a man in a speedo with some serious moves groovin’ gloriously, and I got a killer confidence booster. If he was bold enough to not give a flyin’ leap what anybody thought, I shouldn’t either.Â
We all have moments where our confidence dips and dwindles. A mean comment. A nasty text. A failing grade. A bad relationship. Some moments last longer than others. After I was bought out of my first online business, I spent two years licking my wounds in my own little corner of surrender and defeat. I questioned my ability to do anything, even the stuff I knew I was good at.
With every new idea, with every new possibility and opportunity, I questioned whether I could do it. Fear o...
A while back, my inbox was a black hole of "important" info and urgency.
I was an executive in a national online startup and we were hustling to get the business off the ground. 4 AM urgent emails filled my inbox, dripping with panic about the website not being perfect or the latest email having copy editing errors. 11 PM emails about new strategies to implement, new marketing tactics to try, where our sales conversions were, and our sales projections. I felt like a madwoman subscribing to every marketing and business building webinar imaginable. I would wake up shaking in the middle of the night wondering if I'd missed something if I'd set the latest sales to funnel up correctly, if I had a typo in tomorrow's social media posts.
Your inbox is a precious space of your energy. It is a direct reflection of what's going on inside you.
And what was going on inside of me was nothing good. I was filled with negative emotions - fear, doubt, frustration. My hair started falling out from stress ...
To create anything takes a bold leap of faith into the unknown, trusting that wherever you land will be right where you need to be, to grow, learn, and thrive.
Over the past two years, Crown Yourself has been brimming, brewing, and percolating in the French press of workshops, personal coaching, group coaching programs, and live events. We’ve been testing, exploring, figuring it and ourselves out.
It’s not been an easy road. No creative journey ever is.
But that’s all life is. One long journey in creativity. Only you have the power to make your life freaking rule, with the passion, power, and freedom you desire. Only you have the ability to change your life. You must make the changes. You must take action. And while you’re on this amazing journey, sure, blockades will pop up along the way. Fear sometimes seems insurmountable. Some problems seemed un-figureoutable. Sometimes we get lost in translation between dream and reality. Software gets glitches. Brain farts happen.
