re: THE BEST OF WHO YOU ARE

Have you realized this lately?  You deserve for the big and small moments of your life to reflect the best of who you are.  (And I know it's possible.)

Last week I ran into the store to get a few large storage bins. I was sure I could carry them out so I didn't take a cart. Turns out they were too bulky and heavy and since I didn't have time to walk all the way back to the front for a cart, I shrugged my shoulders and decided to pull them along behind me.

I was laughing at myself at how ridiculous I thought I looked - even though there weren't many people in the aisles and no one seemed to care- but even the pulling got kind of hard.

So I started to push them! That went a lot better and I thought it was a great idea, although I was still telling myself I was embarrassed. (Which made me feel embarrassed, by the way.)

By the time I got to the checkout line I realized I wasn't embarrassed- I was proud of myself for figuring it out. (Taking care of it to get the job done.)

I recorded all of this for a friend who called when it was in progress so she could later laugh with me. (You can watch it on my IG or FB.)  

But while watching the video myself I realized there was a bigger lesson to be learned.

YOUR TAKE ACTION FRAMEWORK:

1. The way you think about yourself and your abilities really matters. 

2. Get clear on what those beliefs are.  (I have a deeply rooted belief that if there's something I want to happen, there's a way it can work. More of that story is in the reel caption.)

3. Start to notice- in situations big and small- how those beliefs show up. (Get used to asking yourself throughout the day: What might this say about me?)

4. Be honest with yourself when the impact isn’t helpful. (Keep a journal or notes log on what happened and what you noticed. If you wish something had gone different, write that out too- it primes your brain to make a change moving forward.)

5. Acknowledge and celebrate when the way you believe and act makes things better. (Feeling proud and accomplished- even on small wins- helps us keep the momentum toward our bigger goals.)

YOUR REFLECTION QUESTION:

What might this (conversation, situation, outcome) say about me?

I'd love to hear what you know and notice about yourself- and how it plays out in the small and big moments of your life! Respond to this email and let me know. :)

We're in this together!

Warmly,

Your Coach Candace
