Emily Clement, Life Coach

It’s Monday, the first of the month, the second half of the year, and here in Southwest Florida it’s the beginning of hurricane season.

That's some serious fresh-start energy, eh?

Chances are good you're interested in making shifts and changes. Chances are also good that YOU are your biggest obstacle. You know it!

It's not lack of knowledge that keeps us stuck, it's ex*****on.

Do the thing!

Thinking about it isn't enough. Action is always rewarded.

Make the call, take the walk, clean the closet, start or finish the task. Get out of your own way, friend.

Need some hand-holding and arse-kicking support? I've got a 5-week workshop that starts in Wednesday.

Do you have a go-to task when you're avoiding work?

I've got a bunch, though today it's dusting the blades of my ceiling fans. Apparently, this cannot wait. Must. Do. Right. Now.

Tell me yours. What random, suddenly-urgent task do you become wildly committed to when there’s real work to do?

You do not face reality. You create it.

Every thought, feeling, and behavior influences your here and now while quietly pre-paving your future.

Life does not happen TO you. It happens THROUGH you.

Whether you realize it or not, you are choosing your life every single day through your focus, emotional state, patterns, habits, and decisions.

Are your choices aligned with the life you actually desire or simply rehearsing what’s familiar?

Need a loving swift kick and a fresh perspective?

Join me for my 5-week workshop: Life by Design starting Wednesday, June 3.

This is for you if:

✅ You’re tired of living on autopilot and want to live with intention
✅ You’re ready to dream again instead of defaulting to what’s familiar
✅ You’re open to learning how your thoughts, emotions, and choices shape your reality
✅ You want to consciously design, align, and manifest the next chapter of your life

No more sleepwalking through your own story. Let’s make shift happen.

I bought a new shirt and wore it yesterday only to realize it is basically identical to my bath mat. Hahaha! Oh, Emily.

How you do one thing is often how you do everything.

We’re drawn to the same themes, patterns, people, and experiences over and over again. Creatures of habit, if you will.

More often than not, we choose familiar over aligned. We select the same things repeatedly, allowing our familiar past to become our predictable future.

Pay attention to what you naturally gravitate toward, then ask yourself: does this align with the person I am becoming?

If yes, full steam ahead.

If not, make new choices.

Integrity is dead sexy. Do what you say and say what you do.

I see these signs every morning and wonder how the "judgement-free zone" can contradict itself with such confidence.

We do this to ourselves, too.

We desire inner peace, then hear the itty-bitty-sh*tty committee running its gums in our mind.

Instead of judging yourself, notice what you’re noticing.

Then make it right within.

"Oh, a wise guy, eh? Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk."

Shelling on Sanibel Island is full of delight and surprise! The Three Stooges were up to their usual antics this morning.

We all have an emotional home, and it becomes the lens through which we view ourselves and the world around us.

Some people emotionally live in gratitude. Some live in stress, frustration, or overwhelm.

Maybe you've trained yourself to expect joy, connection, and possibility. (This is what I choose!)

Others unknowingly rehearse worry, disappointment, or resentment.

Your emotional state is your point of attraction and shapes what you notice, what you believe, and ultimately, the life you create.

Personally, I love to be entertained so it's easy to focus upon and find things that make me nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

Life gets so much lighter when you train yourself to notice magic hiding in plain sight.

Yes! Tonight I spoke at the Fort Myers Beach Woman’s Club meeting, and it was energizing with a twist of sass.

Afterward, women came up to me and said: “That was exactly what I needed to hear.” “Everything you said makes so much sense.” “That really hit me.”

And the one-liner I hear all the time: "You need to work with my husband!" 😂

Shift from living life by default to creating a life by design.

If what you're thinking, feeling, or doing isn't moving you forward, make a new decision.

We’ve been gifted with free will and choice. You are responsible for you.

That’s the good news and the hard truth.

Hey, hey! If you're near Fort Myers Beach tonight, I'll be speaking at our Woman’s Club meeting. Lemme show you How to Create a Life by Design.

This is a perfect example of dreams made manifest! Thoughts become things, friend.

So many highlights in one weekend!

Wizard of Oz at Sphere (wowza!), Matt and Deanna tied the knot, lounged about the pool with family, ate a ridiculous brunch buffet at Bellagio, and walked a million miles. I burned though $10 at the penny slots- the house always wins, I know better.

One of my favorite moments in The Wizard of Oz is when Glinda the Good Witch tells Dorothy, "You've always had the power, my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself."

Vegas is Vegas, but that line is the real jackpot. It's a little reminder:

✨️ You’re not waiting for the magic, you are the magic.

So the only question is, what are you going to do with it?

Today I tried something new and technically became a professional model. $40 makes it official!

I sat for a drawing class at a retirement community. Sitting quietly and holding a gaze was a little awkward at first.

There were four 20-minute poses; it only took me a few minutes to get in the groove.

Stillness is where ideas, solutions, and missing pieces bubble up. Your still, small voice has lots to share.

You'll never hear it in the overscheduled, overwhelmed rush. It’s waiting for you in the pause.

Try the new thing. Even if it feels uncomfortable. You might find exactly what you didn’t know you needed.

Also, if you are local to Laconia NH, they are always looking for models. You can be a naked model, too. I'm busy that day.
