Time, Money and Energy

What do time, money, and energy have in common? They are all protected by healthy boundaries.

Here are some examples:

    • PROTECTING MONEY: If you buy a charging cable from Amazon and it doesn’t work, return it.
    • PROTECTING TIME: If a friend asks you to meet for lunch Friday and you have a super busy week already, postpone it to another week.
    • PROTECTING ENERGY: Take the time to find a movie both you and your partner or friend want to watch. Don’t be willing to watch a scary movie that’s going to keep you up or give you bad dreams.

So if you don’t have enough time, money or energy, it’s probably because there’s some area of your life where you could use healthier boundaries.

And OF COURSE, I wanted to have high self esteem.

So whenever I had negative self talk or critical thoughts, I thought OH NO! I have LOW SELF ESTEEM! This is bad!! I must stop the negative thinking!!

I don’t want you to have to do a big expensive training program to learn about this so I wanted to share signs of invisible trauma, so you can see if this is you. I’ll start with the definition.

I Hated Selling (and Why You Hate Sales Too)

Selling has been the hardest part of building my business.

I’ve never worked in sales, I didn’t come from a family of entrepreneurs and I never studied business in school.

I didn’t grow up with the “entrepreneurial spirit.” I never ran a lemonade stand, I didn’t sell pop out of my locker or start my first business at age 14.

What is Core Energetics? (And Why Should You Care!)

Core Energetics literally changed my life. Before I discovered it, I was anxious 90% of the time. It’d take me over a week to write and send one short email because I’d be editing and re-editing, worried about getting something wrong.
