4 strategic morning power moves for women entrepreneurs {Podcast episode 316}

If you find yourself burnt out or overwhelmed on your entrepreneurial journey, this post is for you. I am sharing 4 rituals I do every single morning that have helped me thrive!

ALIGNMENT BEFORE HUSTLE is my business mantra.

It’s one of the core principles that I teach inside the House of Bliss (my spiritual development membership for ambitious women) , we prioritize getting in the vibration of inner calm, ease & flow.

Because if you are a woman with a purpose or a deep burning passion inside of your heart, your intuition will always be the BEST guide that leads to your success. (there’s no other strategy that beats it).

So today, I am sharing how to keep yourself in your personal Bliss, a grounded, centered vibration of ease & flow. Listen to episode 316 of the Blissfully Ambitious podcast.

MOrning POWER MOVE #1: MY 4 STEP METHOD FOR GETTING IN ALIGNMENT

💛BREATHE. take deep breaths every hour & look around you. Put your hand on your heart and feel your way to what’s next for you. See what calls to you. Let your desire awaken you and guide you to what it is that you need to do. The next right step will feel easy, it will resonate, the doors will open.

💛BELIEVE. Trust yourself. Believe what your heart tells you. The truth = the things that make you feel good are the way to your calling. If you doubt that you are doing it wrong or you aren’t enough, that will take you out of alignment every time. If the universe is always working FOR you then you can NEVER get it wrong. Trust that you will always be guided to the next right thing for you.. .

💛RELEASE. Try to let go of any thoughts that pull you away from belief in yourself, your dreams, your interests or the fact that you are worthy of receiving them. Let go of doubt, shame, worry (it’s all just a waste of time and a block to the path of what you want) .

💛RECEIVE. When you do the above. You align with your feminine (receptive) energy. Instead of forcing things to happen that may not quite fit, you go within, choose what feels good, decide it’s already yours. This puts you in the perfect place to receive it (and not sabotage it or subconsciously reject it). . . . Now you can sit back and just receive what is meant for you!

Morning POWER MOVE #2: LIGHT A CANDLE TO SET YOUR INTENTION

Here is another POWER MOVE practice I like to do in the morning. . .

I light a candle & speak my intention into the flame. The flame is the Fire element in Feng Shui & fire represents the energy of manifestations realized so as you light the candle, you are activating your intention with that energy.

When you light the candle, connect with what it feels like to have actually received that manifestation. Practice the feeling of having your “manifestation realized”. This is one of my absolute favorite morning manifestation tricks, ever.

Just last week, I personally set the intention of helping women learn more about crystals and how to use them in the home. I wanted to get my MANIFESTING WITH CRYSTALS e-book in as many hands as I possibly can so that other women can experience the magic that I have!

And every morning last week, I set the intention of seeing that realized. And by the end of the week, I received so many emails & messages from my readers who read the e-book, loved it and they were noticing their own personal manifestations….It was things like receiving more followers, more clients, random checks in the mail, a new romantic date, money increases and more!

It is so exciting when you see a small high vibe habit actually work for you, so easily! Practice this one every single day and report back to me what happens!

Morning POWER MOVE #3: LOOK YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR AND BUILD UP YOUR WORTH

Your self worth determines your net worth. I can’t emphasize this enough, its key if you are trying to manifest the things you want in this life. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately and checked in with how you feel about yourself?

I try to do this with myself as I am getting ready in the morning, it helps me to remember to bring my best to every single day! If you struggle with worthiness, read this.

What do you think about who you are and what you stand for?

What do you think about your body/face/hair? Are you taking pride in the way you look?

What do you think about your ability to create the life you want?

Are you fully self expressed?

Morning POWER MOVE #4: HONOR YOUR TRUTH & GET VISIBLE

Today, I led a live training in the Shine Online Society, talking all about the importance of getting visible in order to serve your purpose in this world. .

You can’t find your calling if you’re calling can’t find you. 

.So, my girls are working on getting themselves aligned and in vibration with the woman they want to be by implementing some these new practices into their days.

The best way to quantum leap your way to your own personal success is by speaking your truth and getting visible. Showing up when it feels uncomfortable, putting yourself out there, sharing more of you no matter how hard it is.  .

Here's what it looks like to honor your truth....

🖤 Ask yourself, am I honoring my feelings and instincts? Am I standing up for myself? Have I gone against myself in some way today?

🖤 If so, decide to be your own bff. What would your very best, most supportive friend say to you in that situation? Tell yourself more of that. .

🖤 If you have dishonored yourself and your truth...stop what you are doing right now and find a new way to treat yourself to something special. Whether it's flowers, a manicure, a book or a bottle of perfume...do something to treat yourself and show yourself that you commit to honoring your truth, your needs and your happiness. .

🖤 It's from this place that you step into your power and your worth! Declare that it’s your time to be visible, to come out from hiding & isolation and share the purpose in your heart!

15 Tips For A Memorable & Mindful Summer {Podcast Ep. 315}

This post is your ultimate guide to a mindful and memorable Summer.

If you find yourself already feeling exhausted and overwhelmed with Summer plans and things to do, you’re not alone. As a mom, the pressure to fill the Summer up with camps, events, trips, etc can be incredibly overbearing. There is one question in particular that I have more this year than ever before…“got any big plans this Summer?”.

Ugh. I can’t stand this question.

Even though my days are already absolutely full, I can’t help but feel the nagging thought in my mind “am I doing enough?”

Then by divine intervention, I came across an old post I had written about the art of truly savoring the Summertime. I was reminded that Summer is meant to be savored, to be relished, used as a time to relax and to reconnect with your inner child for nourishment and joy.

So, I grabbed my Summer journal and began writing a list of the ways that I intend to make the most of my Summer this year. To resist the temptation to fill my days and to make an intentional list of how and what I want to experience this beautiful season.

15 tips for a memorable and mindful Summer:

1. Lower your cortisol. Your main priority this Summer should be on getting rid of the stress your body is holding on to. Prioritize a massage over a party.

   Tip: Be less available. Instead of booking yourself a vacation, book a chunk of time where you simply relax at home without guilt, without a to do list. Resist the urge to fill the void with travel and summer plans and just allow yourself to be.

2. Focus on slowing down and savoring the moment. Make each little moment of your day much more intentional. One place to begin is making your morning coffee routine a full on production. Why not create a gorgeous coffee corner that makes you feel like having coffee at home is a luxurious experience.

3. Put down the phone. - Instead of constantly keeping up with what everybody else is doing, its important to intentionally build your own life. You can download my free guide to building your personal brand, step-by-step. Focus on cultivating your own style, direction and fill your life with things that keep you present versus following others on social media.

4. Start a summer journal. I like to fill my journal with lists of things that I am manifesting, things I want to do to my home, things I need to do. I love my Paperblanks floral journal. It’s very light, flexible and easy to carry around in my Summer tote.

5. Create an outdoor oasis. This year I created a little corner garden in my backyard. There is nothing more exciting that having an outdoor area that comforts you. I love to step outside in the early morning and water my plants and my beautiful herb garden. You can truly calm your mind when you connect with nature in this way.

6. Invest in a straw summer hat and summer tote. Do I need to say more?

7. Be a tourist in your own town.  Pick up the summer guide for your city. Spend some time cultivating a list of places you have never been and things you have never done in your city versus planning a big out of town getaway. I think you will find there is so much more to do in your city than you think.

8. Try something new.

   Some things you might try: write a book, paint a portrait, visit a pottery class, try yoga, join a run club in your city. The important thing here is to step outside the box.

9. Host a rose soirée. Have friends bring a dish. Play around with decor and dishes. 

10. Curate a cozy home nook for reading. Why not try adding a new chair in your bedroom or getting a new pillow and table for a corner of your sofa that you love.

11. Make a book reading list. There is nothing better than getting lost in a really delicious book during the Summertime. I like to grab my pool floatie and head to the pool for a little book reading so I can really just relax. You can see my complete book library list here.

12. Make a show / movie watch list.

    I’ve become obsessed with the entire Bridgerton series on Netflix, next on my list is Queen Charlotte. Find a type of show that you adore that has several seasons to binge and allow yourself to relish in the beautiful stories.

13. Buy a new cookbook and try a new recipe. 

14. Declutter your kitchen. Areas you will want to look at are the pantry, kitchen utensils drawer, tupperware, spices and the fridge. Throw old old, unused or expired things and replace them with fresh things that make your kitchen feel happier.

15. Let yourself get bored. Boredom can motivate you to break out of your routine, learn new skills, or improve your life. It can also push you to seek new challenges and experiences. Boredom may also make you more empathetic and charitable. For example, one study found that people were more likely to donate to charity when they were bored. There are countless benefits to getting bored that I am fully excited to experience this Summer.
