You are here because you want to thrive and become the best version of yourself possible (and the BEST version of yourself IS possible – I know sometimes it is hard to see that).

During Fresh Start February, we have been walking through the 10 steps to thriving. 10 ways that you can push yourself towards that path to thriving.

Remember, thriving is a journey not a destination. Taking one step forward is one step on that path. You don’t have to “already be thriving.” You can be on your journey. Accept where you are on your journey and that will allow you to keep moving forward (accepting where you are does not mean that you are ok with where you are and you will stay there).

Today, we discussed self love. Because self love is the FOUNDATION to every single one of the steps that we are talking about during this event. Self love

We talked about the steps you can be taking to be more connected to your self love, to put the work into your awareness when it comes to loving yourself, and creating a plan to make sure you are tapped into your love on the daily.

For reference, here are the steps here (we jump into them in more detail in the video):

1. Explore what self love FEELS like.
2. Explore what self love LOOKS like.
3. Identify the experiences that get in the way of loving yourself.
4. Identify the thoughts that get in the way of loving yourself.
5. Create a self love plan that gives you the space you need to practice self love
6. Execute it daily. Even if it is just a small moment, 5 minutes, 1 minute. Be intentional about it.
7. Do a self love monthly check-in. How are you doing?
8. Make necessary tweaks in your self love plan. What is getting in your way? What is working?

A big piece of thriving and moving forward in your life is creating goals that you actually are going to reach. Goals that push you, but that are manageable. Goals that don’t intimidate you or feel TOO BIG so they end up paralyzing you and you don’t make ANY progress.

 

I am going to walk you through the 9 steps to creating goals that will ensure that you CRUSH any goal you set and keeps you coming back for more.

 

Here are the steps that I cover in today’s video:

 

1. Choose a desire off of your list – the one that you most want to work towards
2. Think about what could be accomplished in 90 days
3. Choose 2 separate “projects” that will lead you to your 90-day goal
4. Choose a SPRINT for 2 weeks
5. Choose specific smaller sprint activities for each of your sprints
6. Execute your sprint activities DAILY
7. Repeat steps 4-6 every 2 weeks
8. After the 90 days, check in with your goals
9. Set a new 90-day goal based on the progress you have made

When you are out of alignment with your values aka not staying true to them, not infusing them into your life, and not LIVING life by your CORE values, then you are NOT thriving.

And you know I’m all about thriving. I’ve said it time and time again.

So when you are out of alignment, how the heck do you get back into it.

 

Today’s video is all about how to infuse your values into daily life so that you can get back into alignment with your values.

 

Here are the 7 steps (I go into greater detail in the video of course):

1.  Connect to your VALUES – journal about what is important to you, what is essential in your life.

2. Make a MASTER CORE VALUES list.

3. Each night before you go to bed choose 3 that you want in your day the next day

4. Choose 1 action for each – how are you going to make sure you are connecting to that value during the day

5. Make a plan WHEN you are going to do this action

6. Do it. Seriously. Just do it. EXECUTE.

7. Repeat. (seeing a pattern here?)

In order to thrive, you need to be connected to what you desire most in your life.

And this can be a huge laundry list of things. And it can be one thing (although I push you to think of a LOT of desires because I believe that you deserve all that you want in your life).

 

Here I am going to walk you through my SEVEN steps to becoming wholly connected to your desires so that you may actually achieve them and move a huge LEAP towards thriving (not just a step in these parts!).

 

I walk you through each of them in the video, but here is the list for reference:

 

1. Do a brain dump of everything that you want in your life.
2. Choose 25.
3. Write them as though they have already happened.
4. Visualize yourself achieving those desires.
5. Write what it feels like to have those desires.
6. Take action.
7. Repeat.

You’re here because you want to change something in your life. There is an area in your life that you are not satisfied with. An area of your life where you are not thriving and you are ready to thrive.

 

You’ve said, “I want to change.” But now it’s the actual work that you’ve got to put in to ensure that you’re going to make that change.

 

I am going to walk you through 10 steps to thrive (actually there are a lot more, but to make it simple, I’m just focusing on 10 for the purpose of this video series).

 

The first: PREPARE.

 

I am going to walk you through three aspects of preparing for change (the first is REAL obvious).
