Your Daily Dose of motivation! A thought, question or idea to get you motivated to take action to create from what you have.
Procrastinating? STOP! …just go and do it already. Instead of fretting over how long you’ve been procrastinating on something and thus procrastinating even longer, just stop and go do it already! Whatever the hell it is—the dishes, your homework, the laundry, the phone call, the email, signing up for the class, breaking up with him, the first work out, buying the domain name—just start doing it! It’ll be done before you know it. And who knows what doing it will do to your mood, your energy, your outlook? It may revitalize you. It may motivate you. It may relax you. It may inspire you. You won’t know until you… STOP...
Read MoreWHAT ARE YOU DOING TO REACH YOUR GOALS? Do something! Everyone has a goal in their mind, probably right this second—big, small, meaningful, shallow. It could be as simple as, “don’t forget to floss.” It could be as colossal as, “change the world.” It could be as existential as, “beat cancer.” It could be as superficial as, “try Botox.” (Don’t judge it. If it matters to you, that’s all that matters!) Whatever your goal is, what are you actually doing—physically, mentally, emotionally, tangibly—to reach it? If your goal is to lose weight, have you asked for help, started a work out routine, implemented a nutrition plan? If...
Read MoreHow are you pursuing your dreams? Pursue them like your life depends on it! Whatever you’re dreaming to create, how are you pursuing it? Like a hobby? Like a job? Like a fire is lit under your feet? However you pursue your dreams will determine whether you reach them or not. Do you actually believe manifesting your dream is possible or do you just like fantasizing about the idea of it? Are you seriously pursuing your dream or simply playing at it? Are you pursuing your dream with love, joy, excitement, and commitment? Are you continually researching, learning, and educating yourself on the craft, skill, technique, and business...

Read MoreOut of flow? Make some space! As life expands and grows it can become overgrown with chaos and clutter and dysfunction until you can no longer see straight! Not only is your garage full of crap but also your relationships, your emotions, your body. It’s time to take inventory of everything in your life, your business, your relationships, your goals, your mental attitudes. Where are you out of flow? What’s cluttering up your life?

Read MoreAre you ready for a YES?! Give it to yourself. “No” is one of the toughest things to hear in life. No, I don’t love you. No, you didn’t get in. No, you didn’t get the job. No, you lost. No, you can’t have that, do that, be that. It takes away your power. The culture of “no” keeps the power in the hands of someone else. Waiting for a “yes” sucks but is a part of life that every human being on the planet has to deal with. “No” is a part of reality. But what if you stopped giving the no’s so much power—to crush you, to stop you, to keep you insecure and small? What if you...
Read MoreWhat are you going to do? Do it genuinely…as you! No matter what you set out to do this year—work, play, create, build, help, change—do it as you! Cut the crap. Cut the pretense. Cut the pretending. Cut the posturing. Step into all of who you are and love it! Don’t fall victim to fashion or trends or herd mentality or mean people who want to make you feel less than or put you down or tell you that you’ll never succeed because of who you are. Don’t fall victim to your own insecurities, fears, or doubts. Be loud and proud of your voice, your face, your body, your age, your ideas, your inventions, your work, and your creativity—they are your unique...
Read MoreWhat do you want? Fight for it! When all seems lost—you fail the test, you lose the investor, you eat the cake—don’t throw up your hands in despair and give up. Reassess, regroup and fight harder instead! Go back to what made you start in the first place. Why do you want to write? Why do you want to get healthy? Why do you want to run a marathon? Why do you want to build a business? Why do you want to go to school? Why do you want to learn how to fly a plane? Why do you want to get your masters degree? Why do you want to get the job? Why do you want to lose weight? Why do you want to make your movie? Why do you want to change? Remember your why and...
Read MoreWorry taking up too much space? Give thanks instead! When the worry monster takes over—about money, about relationships, about work, about holiday guests—acknowledge it, note it and then replace it with giving thanks instead! Replace worry by thinking about who and what you are actually grateful for and give thanks for it and for them. Replace worry by feeling thankful. Replace worry by saying thank you. Replace worry by taking action to assuage that worry and get to a place of thankfulness. Be aware when worry takes up too much space so you can shift and take action or release and let go. Let worry motivate you to be thankful and take action! Think thanks. Feel...
Read MoreAfraid you’ll fail? Do it anyway! Whatever it is, you can do it! The only way to succeed is to first fail. If we don’t fail, how will we ever figure anything out? How will we ever know what works or what doesn’t work? How will we ever know what matters enough to not give up? Success is the result of failure or more likely a long string of failures. Giving up is the only failure that is permanent. If you stop writing, you’ll never know if you could write an entire book. If you stop drawing, you’ll never know if you could paint your dreams. If you stop acting, you’ll never know if you could do a one-woman show. If you stop working towards whatever it is...
