How to Commit to Your Goals

I’m back! It’s been a few months since I posted on YouTube but one of my top June goals is to put out a YouTube video every single week, so here's my first one!

I also want to note that even though this video is FAR from perfect, it still took three different occasions on three separate days to film because people in my house kept coming home and needed to use the space I was in haha!

I'm saying that because I wish the content creators I watch talked about how long it took them/how many fails they had – I always just assume they are perfect from the get-go.

My new logo

Ahh! I’m absolutely delighted with how my logo turned out. I’ve been wanting to get a logo done for over two years and in May I decided to finally commit – I’m so glad I did because it turned out even better than I’d hoped.

I felt like it was time to take it seriously and get one done. Now I want to print some business cards, even though I hardly ever meet my clients in person, I just think it would be so fun.

A massive thank you to my designer, Brook from @saintstudio.co

How to Take Command of Your Life

This morning I spoke with the incredible Paul Gowin on a Facebook Livestream. Paul is a Mustang Marine Combat Veteran turned transformational specialist!

Peace & love aren’t just words to Paul – they’re a way of life. In 2013, as a junior officer in the United States Marine Corps, Paul saw a way to decrease the number of people in a combat zone. Today he shared with me his ‘ABCs’ of how to use words, thoughts and actions to create more peace and transformation in your own life.

Ready to Take Command of your life?

This is the livestream for you.

HOWEVER, you may notice that the video is SUPER stretched (we look like aliens!) but don’t be put off! Listening is just as good, the content is so epic and will truly transform your life.

Watch & listen here.

P.S. Connect with Paul on Instagram here. And work with him here.

Juicy

When I was a teenager I was obsessed with Juicy Couture. And I don’t even think I ever even bought anything from them.

I just loved the vibe of the brand.

Los Angeles. Girl power. Kick ass. Sweet. Sassy. Luxury.

Pam and Gela started the brand with just $200, and they turned it into a $1 billion brand. They also invented the modern fashion tracksuit.

If that’s not impossible goals, I don’t know what is.

I don’t really have amazing thoughts for you today. I just wanted to share that I love Juicy, I love Pam and Gela and I love their success story.

Keep going. Keep going.

Silence

Listening. Learning. Speaking up. Standing with you. #blackout2020

My June 2020 Goals

MY JUNE GOALS!

Who will I BE this month? Michael Jordan 🏀

Now that I am Michael Jordan, what do I do?

🔥Put out 1x YouTube video every week (4x videos in June)
I've been putting off making videos for a long time because I don't feel "ready". No more excuses.

🔥Get made up every morning in makeup & clothes I feel good in
This is so that I am READY for anything that I need to do (film a video, get on a coaching call, take a picture – no excuses!)

🔥Post mega value inside my Impossible Girls Facebook Group daily.
It's my dream to make the most incredible, thriving community of badass women all crushing impossible goals, so I’m here to serve daily.

🔥Get into 'morning vibes' every morning.
Instead of doing an elaborate morning routine, which ironically drains my energy, I want to do whatever feels good to get me in the right vibe for the day. This morning, I went for a walk with Daniel (my boyfriend), did affirmations in the shower, and I tried on new clothes that arrived in the mail. Put me in a great motivated mood!

🔥Hire a social media growth manager!
I'm sooo excited to be hiring someone to join #teamimpossible. Being able to make money doing what I love and THEN hire someone else to do what they love?! This is a dream coming true. I've been putting it off for ages but I'm ready to take the leap. Can't wait to meet you, whoever you are. Apply here.

What are your June Goals? Share them with me so I can get inspired!

May 2020 Goals Review

This is always my favourite time, reviewing my goals and setting new ones. I love the process of thinking about what went well, what didn’t and what I will do differently. It’s always so motivating to see how much I can accomplish in a month!

Here's what happened:

I will easily read 10 pages of a book a day in May. 

Completed. I didn't love doing this though. It became more of a chore and less fun. In the beginning, I was doing it as part of my morning routine, and then eventually it became something I just "had" to do before I went to sleep. I love reading, and I've actually just bought a new book, but I didn't enjoy having it become a daily task, so instead, from now on, I will read when it feels good (and opt for reading instead of Netflix as much as possible!).

I will easily grow my Facebook Group, Impossible Girls, to 2000 amazing members by 31st May. 

This was the only goal I didn't complete this month. I learned a lot from this process, and I don't regret setting my goal this high. In my first month, I hit 500 members. In my second month, we added 300 more members, so now we are at 800. I cherish every single one of you who is in the group, and it has been such an awesome, supportive space that I can't wait to grow. My plan for growth in May worked (I was inviting lots of people to join), but my energy for spending hours growing it every single day waned. I know that it was literally just me choosing not to put the effort in. This goal is coming back for June – and I've got a whole new plan to avoid the burnout I felt in May.

I will easily finish my Logo & Branding by 31st May. 
Can I say completed if it's done from my end? Now I'm just waiting on my designer to send me the files – I can't wait to share my new logo with you, I'm so happy with it!

I will easily eat a salad with every lunchtime in May. 
Completed! Sometimes this became dinner, but I always managed to eat something healthier than I would have if I wasn't thinking about it. Carrots, cucumber, lettuce, avocado, apple, banana – fresh fruit & vegetables make me feel so good.

I will easily do a full morning routine every morning in May. 
Completed! I started out with "mediation, visualization, affirmations, and journaling", and it transformed as the month went on. I've discovered that my favourite practice is to do a meditation in the morning, affirmations in the shower, and then some journaling throughout the day as my thoughts come up. I realised that having too many things on my morning routine feels like a to-do list, rather than a rejuvenating ritual. My challenge from here is to create a 'morning vibe' rather than a morning routine. I want to get into a mental, emotional and physical space that sets me up for an amazing day – whatever that looks like each morning. I know it definitely involves affirmations + intention setting + meditation.

BONUS goal this month: I will easily create a new publicity opportunity by 31st May.

Completed! I'm super excited that I will be featured on the SOS Podcast. It was so crazy because two days ago, after realizing I hadn't completed this goal and we were getting close to the end of the month, I set the intention that I would complete it that day. A couple of hours later, I got a DM from Liv from the SOS podcast inviting me to be on it. Bam. Just like that. Thanks, Liv!

Watch this space for my June Goals – coming tomorrow!

Messing Up

Ugh. You know that feeling when you mess up and it just can't be undone?

It's the worst.

That happened today. I missed a call with someone very important to me. For the third time in a row.

I cried.

I couldn't understand how it happened.

It just did.

I felt like beating myself up over it.

I googled searched what to do when you mess up.

The search results were not what I wanted to hear.

Complicated emotions can't be solved in a WikiHow 3 step process.

We have to feel the emotion. Allow ourselves to go through whatever we need to go through.

One of my favourite authors, Gabby Bernstein, talks about how until you feel the anger or sadness or whatever emotion it is, you can't actually move forward in the letting go process. Sometimes, you just have to yell and scream and get mad.

So this morning, instead of fighting the anger with myself, I let it in. I told myself off in the mirror. I cried in the shower.

And now, even though there is damage to repair and I don't know if the person will forgive me – I'm ready to accept it and love myself anyway.

Life Is a Spiral

One of my close friends and coach, Nicole Middleton, talks often talks about the ancient philosophy of spiraling.

She says that life is like a spiral.

You are constantly upleveling to the next layer of the spiral, and constantly revisiting the same truths. It's why we have the same "aha" moments all the time.

Some of my recurring truths. At each level of my spiral, I always come back to:

• "I should just not worry about what anyone else thinks!" 

• "It doesn't matter. Nothing matters. So just enjoy it and have fun."

• "It's all about who I am BEING, not what I am DOING."

At each level, I experience these realizations at an even deeper level.

I used to think that I was being silly for experiencing the same aha moments all the time. But now I know it is just a deeper knowing and deeper awakening every time.

Thank you Nicole <3
