Since I’m not a “girlie “ I don’t know if I’m supposed to be reading this but this is so true it’s harder than it sounds you really have to change your mindset it doesn’t happen fast but I do agree with everything you said except for princess parking won’t catch me saying that lol

lololol if my writing resonates then I’m happy you’re here, and thank you for reading!! You’re right, it does take time, which is why I like to start small. I can convince myself over time 🥰 And hahaha, if princess parking doesn’t vibe, that’s cool! I will say though that my husband now says princess parking too and we always have a little laugh when he does 😂

It definitely resonates once I get past this for the girlies lol but I see you converted someone to princess parking smart man lol

That’s a great mantra and it clearly resonates with you. My current one is “let it go,” which helps me to put little things into perspective. Also “it costs nothing to be kind.” Well done.💕

100% I've noticed that the "luckiest" people are the ones who already think of themselves as lucky. Thank you for the reminder :)

Yes!! Growing up, my parents used to say that the only lucky one in our family was my grandma, but I swear it was just because she said so 😂 A total vibe! 💓

Love this, Kristen!! I had a very similar experience in my 20s, just swap yoga for Pilates. I totally believe in bringing the vibes/making your own vibes and loved your tips! 🩷

YES!! This helps me so much too! I used to constantly tell myself I was bad at my job until one day I started flipping it the other way and saying "I am SO good at my job, nobody can do what I can do" and using really hyperbolic language with a hint of sarcasm until it actually became the truth and now not only am I a lot better at my job but I enjoy it so much more. The way we speak to ourselves is crucial. Loved this Kristen 💕

Yeees, I love this! Being delulu can certainly be the solulu sometimes 😂💕 I catch myself sometimes being so self critical and I work so hard to switch up how I speak to myself. You’re right, it’s so important!

Thank you Alison!! And wow, life coaching life! I did a leadership intensive in Costa Rica, which led to an online coaching curriculum and lots of practice hours before I started officially coaching clients. It was an incredible chapter of my life! I ultimately learned that coaching just isn’t for me, but I still utilize so many of the tools I learned everyday! 🤍

Love the cutie take. Its the line, "Once I stepped away from it all, I remembered that my confidence shows up as calm, grounded energy. Sure footed." for me <3

Yeees, thank you Marianna!! It’s so hard sometimes finding what works for you when lots of people have lots of opinions. I gotta quiet the noise and let go of all the “should’s” every once in a while! 😂🙉
