Important PSA!

I saw this salad on ‘s page a little bit ago and was like “hey that looks good I’ll try it.”

Ya’ll… I waited too long to have this salad in my life, it is the bomb dot com 🤤

If you’re reading this now, RUN to your grocery and get the ingredients and make it asap, you will not be disappointed!

You can search google for KaleJunkie ultimate kale salad and you’ll find the recipe easy peasy! I added chicken to mine because, protein 💪🏻🙃

Okay byeeeee ✌🏻

Actually, there are no inherent ‘good’ reasons or ‘bad’ reasons - it’s really just about *liking* your reasons.

But ask yourself, do you really *like* holding yourself back just because you’re scared or worried you might f**k it up?

I want to offer that most the time, the honest answer is no.

So what’s the solution in these instances?

Step 1 → acknowledge that fear and worry. They might not be anything you want to *act* on, but these emotions ARE valid and it’s important to see and acknowledge how you’re feeling.

And step 2 → find reasons you DO love for your decisions, and then let those guide you instead.

By the way, this ☝🏻in a nutshell, is my process for making powerful decisions. It’s simple, but not always easy. If you’d like support in making decisions aligned with the life you WANT to be living (instead of getting stuck telling yourself it’s too hard or you can’t do it and then living your life on default and feeling like life is happening *to* you and not in a good way), my coaching is for you.

What do I mean by this? I mean noticing when your brain wants to spin out focusing on the negatives, on the what ifs, on what’s not working and everything that is or could be going wrong.

Noticing all this…and then choosing to bring your brain back again and again to what you really want. To your vision for yourself and your future. To who you want to be and how you want to show up. To what’s going well and what you can do to continue to make things even better.

If your brain is like mine, this is not necessarily the easiest work.

But what we focus on grows.

It’s why coaching is so powerful. Because you have someone in your corner, to help you clean out and reset + refocus your brain each week, so you can really stay focused on what’s most important to you and working toward it in positive and productive ways.

If this sounds good to you, my coaching is for you. I’m currently taking new clients, message me to learn more 💛

Okay hang with me on this.

I know this sounds painfully obvious but, I think we’ve all been here.

You buy a program. Or hire a coach. Or even pick up a new book.

You go through it. You learn new things. Time passes. You think to yourself, “I should have results by now.”

And yet you don’t.

It’s frustrating AF.

You tell yourself the thing didn’t work. Because, you ‘did’ the thing, and time passed - time since you learned new information - so naturally things should have changed.

But they didn’t.

Here’s where we go wrong…

Consuming the content is not doing the work.

Just because time passes since you’ve learned new things - that also doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve done the work.

How do you know you’ve done the work?

You’re getting results. Results don’t lie.

I know this can be a tough pill to swallow.

I’ve spent YEARS of my life wondering why I didn’t have results yet when I was ‘working’ so hard - and I don’t want that for you.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

If you’re frustrated by your results, let me help you. Together we’ll peel back the layers, see how you’ve been spending your time so you can get really clear on WHY that’s created what it’s created for you so far, and what you can do differently to actually make the changes in your life that you’re after.

I see so many people get stuck because they aren’t willing to take baby steps.

They hold onto the story that the small steps aren’t worth it. That they don’t matter. That they won’t make a difference.

If this is you, I want to challenge you to let go of that story. To be willing to focus on the baby steps.

This will feel hard at first. Your brain won’t like it. It will keep offering you the story that it’s too little, too slow, not good enough.

But the baby steps are where the magic happens. That’s where you build trust and belief in yourself. That’s where you start to think, “hey I can DO this!” (instead of “ugh I tried and failed again” 😫) And the momentum just snowballs from there.

So again I say, be willing to focus on the baby steps. You just might blow your own mind as to how fast you actually progress when you’re willing to do so.

PS - this is the kind of thought work we do when we work together. We look at what stories you’re holding onto (like, “it’s not good enough, I have to go faster”) that aren’t actually serving you. We question them. We explore ways you can redirect your mind so you can actually get what you want instead of feeling stuck.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but whether or not you reach your goals has nothing to do with your value and worth as a person.

Goals are arbitrary.

We don’t set goals to hit them 100% of the time and prove to ourselves or others that we are ‘good enough’ or ‘successful.’

We set goals to stretch ourselves. We set them to give ourselves something to work toward which in turn creates a container for our growth.

And we set them because they are fun. And working towards them makes life more fun and interesting 😃

If you’re getting tripped up by your goals, feeling bad about yourself when you don’t reach them or guilty when you’re not actively working on them - I just want to offer that this is because you’re tying your worth to said goals. It’s time to knock that s**t off.

And if you want help - I’m your girl. When we coach together we clean allllll this up, so that you can get back to becoming the version of yourself you want to be in a way that feels joyful and delightful to YOU.

Are you basing your self-concept on where you are falling short, or where you are excelling?

This is a *really* powerful question to check in with yourself on.

Your self concept MATTERS.

I mean think about it. If you see yourself as someone who is crushing it, who is continually successful in following through on your plans and making progress with your goals, I guarantee you will feel more confident and more motivated to keep going.

Especially compared to if you see yourself as someone who is always struggling and who can never quite get your s**t together 100%. Talk about defeating!

The difference is, one self-concept is based on your wins, and one is based on where you feel like you’re falling short.

And here’s why it matters → because none of us are “winning” all the time. Failure, rejection, stumbles, they are all a part of life. It’s a CHOICE to allow the stumbles and short-comings to determine your self-concept, and equally as available to choose to root your self-concept in your strengths, resilience, grit, and success.

That’s the mindset I want you to have. This is the mindset that allows you to feel grounded, capable, enough. And you ARE enough 💛

It’s *so* tempting to want to whip yourself into changing. But shame and blame are not great motivators.

Just think about it. When you’re beating yourself up, you don’t want to suddenly do all the things you’re telling yourself you “should” be doing - you just want to sit on the couch and watch Netflix to forget about all of it.

But when you’re feeling *good* - about yourself, your capabilities, your progress so far - THAT is motivating as heck to keep going!

So how do you keep yourself feeling good?

1. Celebrate the heck out of your wins. ALL your wins. Even the tiniest little ones.

and

2. Reframe failure. We’re taught from a young age that failure is a bad thing. But instead of seeing it like something has gone wrong or there’s something wrong with YOU, choose to see it as a good thing because it’s literally information and feedback that’s only *helping* you to find what works and reach your goals!

What is one win or one failure you’ve had recently? Let me know in the comments and let’s celebrate it!

Micki

PS - If this feels hard to you to celebrate your wins or see your failures as feedback, that’s okay. It’s just a matter of rewiring your brain. That is the work we do together, so that reaching your goals not only becomes doable, it also feels FUN along the way! Message me to learn more about coaching and to get started ☺️

Once you start thought work you start to see that there are thoughts that really don’t serve you. You start to see that there are things your brain wants to focus on that are just really freaking unhelpful.

Sometimes it feels like just having this awareness should be enough. Like, once you know it’s not helpful to think certain things, you should just be able to stop thinking them.

And yet, your brain when left to its own devices is like an unsupervised toddler. It will get into s**t. It will make a mess. It will do the things you told it not to do 🤷‍♀️

When this happens, you can do two things. You can get mad at your brain and make it a problem that it’s not cooperating. You can throw a pity party for yourself and spend the evening on the couch eating oreos…

OR

You can commit to redirecting your brain as many times as it takes, until the new thoughts really start to take hold and become the default.

Yes, managing your brain in this way will feel tedious, frustrating, and annoying sometimes. But no more so than feeling stuck and not having what you want in life.

And I want you to have what you want in life.

If this post resonates with you, and you want to take this work deeper, my coaching is for you. When we coach together, I not only teach you how to manage your brain in this way, but each week on our call I help you clean out your brain and really sort through all the stories it’s telling you that are keeping you stuck. It’s the fastest way to change your thinking and therefore your life. Ready to get started? Message me and let’s schedule a consult 😊

This is 33 ✨

I’ll be honest, I feel weird as s**t posting about my birthday *after* my birthday. My brain is screaming at me like - that’s so conceited, so self-centered, so EXTRA.

Which is exactly why I decided to do it.

Because if you’re here, following me in my little corner of the internet, my guess is you *also* conflate celebrating yourself as being conceited, self-centered, and *extra* sometimes.

You don’t want to be “too much.” It feels *highly* uncomfortable to take up space in this way.

But you know what happens when you don’t think you’re worth celebrating? You don’t give anyone else the chance to either.

Let’s stop perpetuating the lie that there’s something wrong with taking up space. Let’s all take up much MORE space. Let’s celebrate ourselves, and one another. That’s the kind of big, bold world I want to live in, will you join me?
