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!

13 Ways to style your kitchen with color and charm

Craving a little color? Here’s how to update your kitchen with color.

Just the other day, I woke up with my kitchen in disarray. Everything was washed and cleaned from my dinner party the night before, but it was all over the counters. Instead of feeling stressed and overwhelmed from the clutter, I found myself feeling that Marie Kondo ‘spark of joy’ because everything just looked so pretty.

Typically, I looooove a clean kitchen with nothing on the counters but these days, I love to display all of my pretty kitchen things that are easy on the eyes. Entertaining has become such a joy for my home and I love how it plays out in the kitchen. When the beautiful pink wine glasses and blue and white bowls begin to pile up, it's almost like a colorful display of beautiful memories.

This is exactly why plates must be pretty, glasses must be chic and all the little things that you use in the kitchen should at least be fun to look at.

In my kitchen, everything is black, white and gold. But the accessories are colorful and vibrant. From lemon yellow dishes to pink glasses, it feels bright and cheerful.

Anthropologie is one of my favorite places to visit because they display all the kitchen ware so beautifully.

Today, I am sharing some images to inspire you to stock up your kitchen with pretty things. So that when you're having Summertime fun, you can display everything with style.

13 ideas for styling your kitchen WITH COLOR

01 | Display your collections on kitchen shelves

via @liefhuisjegroningen

Go thrifting for gorgeous dinnerware and see what calls you. I always keep a specific color theme in mind so that I don’t end up purchasing a bunch of things that don’t work together. Opt for one of a kind pieces with charm and character, like the Strawberry vase.

02 | Hang coffee mugs on a rack

03 | Add a few hanging plants

06 | Hang copper pots along a bare wall

I adore the look of copper in the kitchen, especially when mixed with other metallics. Get a really gorgeous gold rod to hang your copper pots in the kitchen. It creates a sense of European charm to your home, especially when you add bowls of fruit to the countertop decor.

It wouldn’t be Summer if you didn’t have a colorful cocktail or coffee station set up and ready to go in your kitchen. The first thing you need to do, get yourself a Pink Smeg water kettle. This will change the entire feel of your kitchen.

13 | Add a cheeky pink neon sign
