Grow A Pair

by Kimberly on May 16, 2013

I’m reading the most fantastic book. It’s probably one of the best reads I’ve picked up in a long time.

WHY?

Because it’s funny, and I don’t have to read it from cover to cover to truly receive all its value.

Because it offers the truth.  Each page gives me some insightful food for thought AND it makes me want to take action in some of the most interesting ways.

Because on each page, there is a fun, simple diagram or graph that says it all. And I secretly love picture books.

How to Be Interesting by Jessica Hagy is a book that should be on every person’s nightstand.

One of my favorite excerpts…

How to Be Interesting

Set Your Own Boundaries

On time. On attention.

On money. On love.

And defend your territory from those who want to knock down the walls that keep you sane.
 

My Interpretation:

What makes you interestingEssentially, grow a pair and do NOT let anyone derail your adventure. EVER!

Because what you can offer the world is F*CKING FANTASTIC.

And whether you impact 1 or 1000s is up to you.  And completely your CHOICE.

Never apologize for being YOU!

What makes you interesting? Let me know in the comments below. Feel free to make your own diagram or graph.

Change Your Beliefs, Change Your Life

by Kimberly on May 6, 2013

Gandhi QuoteI have always loved this quote by Gandhi.

I used to have it hanging on my bulletin board in my office. When I moved, I took it down and honestly forgot about it.

Today, I woke up thinking about this quote and how essential it is to really take these words to heart.

Your beliefs become your thoughts…

How many of your beliefs are actually true? Have you ever stopped long enough to recognize your beliefs?

I used to have beliefs that were actually keeping me stuck. Can you imagine believing…that you’re not good enough, that no one could possibly love you for being yourself or that you didn’t deserve to make a substantial amount of money (at least not without a struggle).

Hmmm…those beliefs sucked. And those beliefs were on the top of my mind…all day long.

Your thoughts become your words…

I wish I could say this wasn’t true but your words certainly derive from your thoughts. If you feel less than, it’s no surprise that negative statements come pouring out of your mouth.

  • “I can’t [insert any goal].”
  • “No one will ever [love/respect/want] me because I am too [insert derogatory word].”

I’m guessing you’ve said something similar, yes? Do you think it’s time to shift your thoughts?

Your words become your actions…

Or become your inactions in some cases. When you’re degrading yourself, do you think you take positive actions?

I know I didn’t.

What would happen if you shifted your words from negative ones to positive ones? What if you kicked your old eff’d up beliefs to the curb and created new ones? Do you think your actions would change? You bet your ass they would.

Your actions become your habits…

What you do consistently becomes second nature. Be aware of your actions. Are they serving you? If the answer is no, it’s time to change them.

Your habits become your values…

Are your beliefs, thoughts, actions and habits in alignment with your true values? Do you even know what you value? I’ve talked to far too many women who have no idea what they value anymore. Don’t you think it’s time you sat down and assessed what’s important to you?

Your values become your destiny…

If you’re not in alignment with your values, you’re going to find yourself in a vicious cycle of always getting what you don’t want.  Is that what you envisioned for your life?

I didn’t think so.

Change your beliefs. And change your life. (tweet, tweet)

So, I want to hear from you. In the comments below, share with me one your beliefs–one that you are ready to shift. Ready. Set. Go.

April 24, 2013

Buffer Hi there. I wanted to reach out to you today because there have been a lot of questions about what I’m up to. Honestly, I adore when that happens. It means I’ve stirred the pot and that, in my book, is a good thing. It also means amazing shifts are around the corner—for me [...]

How Do You Define BEAUTY?

April 19, 2013

Buffer Everyone is up in arms about the new Dove campaign for beauty. What are your thoughts around this topic? My take is Dove’s attempts are honest. I don’t believe that they did anything malicious…their point was to show the world that women are their own worst beauty critics.   So, okay, they may have [...]

Choose Love, Not Fear

April 16, 2013

Buffer Have you ever felt stuck, lost or unsafe? How about misunderstood, worthless or troubled? I know I have. But what I’ve come to recognize is—this is part of our human condition. We have been taught to live from FEAR, rather than LOVE. There have been numerous times I have allowed fear to steal my [...]

Assumptions Suck

April 8, 2013

Buffer Have you ever made an assumption or judgment about someone or something without gathering all of the information or facts first? As much as I hate to admit it, I’ve done it. More times than I can count. I often assume I know what people are thinking, how they are feeling and why they [...]

Shout it From the Mountains

March 28, 2013

Buffer I’ve met far too many women who have no idea what they want out of their life. Instead, they continue to suffer quietly…thinking, “Is this really all there is?” Believe me, I know how it feels. I’ve been there. It feels like a weight is on your chest. You have trouble breathing. You toss [...]

What is Your Truth?

March 19, 2013

Buffer I don’t know about you but I used to bury my head in the sand. I used to pretend that my life was a bed full of roses. I walked around letting other people believe that I had my shit together. The reality was I was a hot fucking mess. Most of my relationships [...]
