What’s your WHY?

Knowing WHY you want something different in any area of your life (in your relationships, with your work, for your health and in your personal growth) is the ONE THING that will keep you going when you want to quit.

And you will want to quit at some point.

At some point, the work won’t be fun, there will be so many things to overcome that it will feel hard to continue and the way won’t always be totally clear.

Your reason WHY, the deep reason WHY you want to shift your life will keep you going, keep you focused and create the pull needed to not stop.

Want to know how to figure out your reason WHY?

Listen in to Episode 136: Choosing your WHY of Ninja Jill KNOWS.

Your reason why is the vital component in fulfilling your purpose, following the call of your soul and creating more of the life that you want.

Do you KNOW yours?

Is it clear?

If not listen in and share this with anyone you know that needs to figure theirs out too and if you need a little extra help, check out this worksheet to help you determine your why. Click here for the free worksheet.

“Stop talking”

This was one of the best pieces of advice that I got from my Functional Medicine doctor when I was at my sickest with adrenal fatigue.

“Only speak when absolutely necessary. And say so little that people notice that you aren’t talking.”

I’m not a big ‘talker’ anyways. I don’t do idle chitchat, I don’t give lengthy speeches to my kids when they are in trouble and I don’t love talking on the phone or to people I don’t know well.

I do like conversations full of value, inspired thoughts and ones that are funny though.

I stopped talking. So much that people asked me why I wasn’t saying anything.

Here’s what I learned:

1. We talk way to much. We fill silences with words that don’t need to said and spaces that don’t need to be filled.

2. We justify our decisions with too many words.

3. Talking expends a lot of energy. Be careful how much of it you are wasting with too many words.

4. Silence is golden and very powerful. I found that I was heard MORE by my kids, my husband, and my clients when I said less.

Try it.
Go a little silent.
See how much more importance you put on the words you select when you speak less.

When you speak less, you hear more.

You hear all of the words but more importantly, you hear what isn’t said, you feel the emotions and you understand on a deeper level.

Get quiet. Your conversations will get deeper when you do.

What are you choosing to focus on?

When something happens (because stuff always happens), what are you looking at?

Do you focus on all the negative stuff?
Do you go straight to problem solving?
Do you look for the lesson?

How do you react?

Are you dramatic?
Are you complacent?
Are you accepting of what is?

All of this matters.

Why?

Well, stuff is always going to happen in our lives. Things that we don’t want to happen will still happen and how you CHOOSE TO LOOK AT IT defines how you will REACT TO IT and take the action needed to CHANGE IT.

So, how do you choose to look at things? The sooner that you can accept what is, make a plan and see the lesson, the faster you will move through the situation and continue to create what you most in your life.

I dive into this even more in one my latest podcast episodes. Take a listen to Episode 117: Choose to look at it that way to learn more about the importance of how you look at things at what you can do to shift how you see things. If this message resonates with you, please share it, rate and review it on iTunes for me or sign up to never miss an episode on iTunes here and PASS IT ON. I’d really appreciate it.

You are in charge of how you choose to look at things and ultimately your reaction and the action you take to try to change it. It’s always your choice.

Live your life with purpose, do YOU.

What do you NEED to finish?

I came across this wisdom yesterday and it is something I needed to help me make a final push on a project that I’m working on…

“When you don’t finish what you start, you simply lose parts of your being; of who you really are…” ~ T. Harv Eker

So, what do YOU need to FINISH?

It’s time.

(And sometimes, some things aren’t worth completing because the situation has changed but you still must ‘complete’ them by deciding not to finish and wrapping up any loose ends.)

Would love to hear what you are going to finish in the comments below.

Stop leaving your energy out there and scattered. You will create momentum and strengthen your mindset when you finish those unfinished things.

It will be a load off your shoulders, it will free up the energy and it will compel you to create more.

So, make a list and make a commitment to FINISH.

Live your life with purpose, do YOU!

Your energy matters. How are you showing up…

In your relationships with your partner, kids, family and friends? In your business and career? In your health and wellbeing? In your personal growth and self-discovery?

Are you showing up vibrant, excited and ready to work OR are you showing up begrudgingly, with a bad attitude and annoyed you have to do the work?

Are you showing up with nervous excitement or with fear?

Are you showing up hopeful or doubtful?

Are you showing up with a smile on your face or a scowl?

How you SHOW UP for it ALL matters. It is key to your success. Look at each area of your life and look at how you are showing up. SHIFT your mood and attitude where you need too.

Your Personal Energy and how you show up matters. Your life is a direct reflection of how you show up!

Live your life with Purpose, do YOU!
