People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. ~Mother Teresa

I went to a virtual Tony Robbins conference two weeks ago. For those of you don't know who Tony Robbins is, he is a master in all things personal development. If you want to be a better version of yourself, Tony Robbins is a good place to start.​At this conference I learned that our energy level determines the quality of life we have. This makes sense because everything we do takes energy. The more we have, the more we are able to accomplish in any given day. Anddd our energy is linked to our emotions aka how good we feel.​"Well shit, I'm screwed," I thought. I don't know if any of you can relate but I have energy in spurts. Sometimes life feels more exhausting than energizing. And since our energy is linked to our emotions I haven't always been as happy as I wish I were. Have you ever looked at people and they are just so happy and seem like they're floating and it is just irritating. It must be nice to be so happy!​Well...I learned that we all have an energetic and emotional "home." Think of it as a scale of 1-10. We all have moments of energy and happiness or fatigue and sadness but we all fall on the scale somewhere between 1-10 and that is our normal and what we fall back to. But get this....WE CAN CHANGE IT!!! #mindblown​All my life I have been accepting that I am a level 6 or so and perpetuating it by telling myself how exhausted I am all the time. I've been looking for outside sources like coffee or viatmins to give me energy when in reality I can change my energy level myself. Just like you can change yours! You don't have to except low energy and unhappiness! What a breath of fresh air that is!!​So how do you we do it? It's so simple it's almost laughable. But have you ever noticed the most simple things are almost always the most effective? It's super simple but it's not necessarily easy because it takes getting out of your comfort zone and being proactive.​Before I tell you, imagine a world where you have more energy and more happiness. What would you accomplish? How would you feel? How would you be a better version of yourself? A better wife, friend, sister, or parent?​✨How to Change Your Energy, Happiness, and Life✨​Okay here it is...when you feel down, tired, or depressed you say to yourself, "No thank you!" and you get up and dance, shake your booty, and smile. By moving your body, having fun, and smiling you change your physiology and stimulate more energy and happiness. I know it sounds super simple and almost stupid but it works! If you continue to do this every time you feel down - and truly have fun with it - you will eventually raise your energetic/emotional home!​Think of your energy as a muscle. How do you get bigger biceps? You put in more reps. How do you raise your energy? You put in more reps.​Like I said, it's simple but not easy because sometimes when we feel bad we want to stew in it and bathe in our negativity - I know because I've been there! That is when you need to show up for yourself the most! Think of your future self. Imagine a world where you can have more energy and be happier. Doesn't that sound amazing?! Then try it! And commit to it, even when you don't want to! **Also pay attention to your thoughts. Are you focusing on negativity or gratitude?**​I have been doing this for almost two weeks now and I truly feel more energetic and happier without coffee or supplements! The other night I only got an hour of sleep (long story) and this still worked. I couldn't believe it. Now that I know I hold the keys to my own energy and happiness I wont allow myself to be exhausted or miserable.​I. Truly. Feel. Amazing. And you can to! This is the most mind blowing, life changing information I've ever received. I hope it is able to change your life as well!​Keep showing up for yourself, regardless of how you feel, because if you do there is nowhere you can go but UP! For more free resources head over to www.showuptogoup.com

Asking for help can be challenging and scary. Sometimes it's hard to admit that we need help but we are so much better if we work together so don't be afraid to ask for help because there are so many people out there that want to help you! You just have to ask! Here are 5 keys to asking for help...1.) Ask specifically - Know exactly what it is you are asking for. Don't be vague.2.) Ask someone who can help you - Ask someone who has what you want so that you can model him or her.3.) Create value for that person - How can you give or serve the person whom you are asking for help?4.) Ask with total belief - You must believe in what you are asking or selling. If you don't believe, why should they?5.) Keep asking - Keep asking until you get what you want. If the person says no then ask someone else or make a better offer. Be relentless in your pursuit.For more free resources head over to www.showuptogoup.com

There is no such thing as being right vs wrong! We as individuals (and sometimes as society) determine right vs wrong by our perception which comes from how we were raised and our past experiences. Since no two people have the same background, what is right or true for one person is going to be different from what is right or true for another person.We like to prove people right because we want to look good or look smart which comes from our ego. Let go of the idea of being right and winning or being wrong and losing and see what you can learn from another person and their perspective.For more free resources head over to www.showuptogoup.com

I used to call myself lazy and unmotivated but the reality was that I was afraid. I was working hard but I was working hard on things I didn't care about to avoid doing the scary thing that was on my heart. And then I'd get down on myself and that only made things worse.I don't believe there is any such thing as lazy. I believe we avoid things we are fearful of. Calling yourself lazy is not only untrue but it is hurtful to your self confidence. If you have a dream on your heart but you find yourself unmotivated or not moving forward, here are 4 tips to break that vicious cycle.1.) Call it what it is - fear. Go deep and ask yourself what you are afraid of. Is it fear of what other people think? Fear of being good enough? Name is what it is. 2.) Take action! Take one small step that will get you out of your comfort zone and toward your goal. The first step is always the hardest but you can do it! If you don't know what to do, ask! You're not alone!3.) Small wins build confidence. Whatever you started in step 2, make sure you follow through and finish it because small wins add up and build self confidence and self worth. The hardest part is starting and the second hardest part is finishing. It doesn't have to be perfect! Let yourself be bad because that is how you learn and grow.4.) Enjoy the journey. As you pursue your goal there will always be ups and downs. Embrace all of it. Be grateful for the highs but also be grateful for the lows because if you pay attention, you will learn so much more from the lows.If you'd like to dive deeper with me you can head over to www.showuptogoup.com
