How do you push your edges?? Doing something I never imagined I could/would do makes me feel extremely powerful. It reminds me that there’s a world of possibility out there.

Yesterday I spoke about the importance of acknowledging where our attention has been so we can direct it towards the things that we’d like to be cultivating in our lives.

What do you give your power away to?? I’m gonna be honest here. I’m guilty of sometimes willingly giving my power away to something or someone else.

I was watching a video recently which spoke about “incompletes.” It mentioned that anytime we have something we’ve been meaning to do, but haven’t yet, that this unfinished to-do list item pulls on our energy.

Just as the butterfly goes into the cocoon and completely liquefies before re-emerging as the new self, I’ve been stripping away many layers of my “perceived” self in service of finding the real me buried somewhere underneath.
