So I had a little meltdown a few weeks ago, hey?

The most important thing you can invest in is YOU.  And did you know that what's separating you from the top 15% of highly successful, happy, and healthy people is the normal looking-after-yourself kinda shit that always seems to be slipping through your fingers? I'm talking drinking enough water, exercising, saying nice things to yourself, practicing gratitude, having great relationships and spending enough time outdoors. Oh, and can't forget EATING YOUR VEGGIES. What if I told you that these things could be so much easier to get to if you decluttered your house first? We've got so much shit in our way, distracting us, calling us names, and reminding us of things we don't even want to feel obligated to. I can help you get rid of shit you don't want so that you can curate a space that helps you get so much closer to becoming the kind of person you want to be. The kind of person who actually does their yoga every day, and remembers to take their vitamins, and usually knows what's for dinner - even in the midst of all the regular life chaos like kids and jobs and home improvements.  You can have it all! But you gotta get rid of the shit you DON'T want first.

Vacation's over folks! Time to get on up and do whatever the fuck it is you've been telling yourself you'll do someday. Cuz someday is TODAY. This week on the podcast I rambled my face off trying to tell you the ONE thing I'm working on that's helping me reboot and get back on the train. Not sure which train yet, but we're moving FORWARD and that's all that matters. In this episode I'm sharing a lil exercise I do (pretty frequently) to help me start taking action when I really just don't fucking feel like it. Because even though I know it'll feel good, I still take a lot of convincing to get off my ass and start. If that sounds familiar, then this is definitely for YOU!

Something about a house plant and how it needs water? Oh right. Take care of yourself. The rest will follow.

These are some crazy times. Here's how I'm coping with this crazy ass virus shit. Maybe you'll find it helpful! Let me know. Let's hang out on IG. I'm @notorious.hil. Who are you?

Life is full of ups and downs. They're inevitable. So wouldn't it be better if you could choose which ones you were going to have? At least to a certain extent. If struggle is just a part of life, you may as well struggle with things that are worth it to YOU. Sometimes you need a pass day. Cut yourself some slack. Enjoy some damn leisure time. And then pick yourself up and do the very best you can tomorrow. 

I'm not actually sure that this is what abundance means. I actually really struggle with that word. I struggle with the self-help industry, and I'm troubled by my passion for it right now to be honest! But it seems to me like there a lot of people out there right now who are struggling to get through day. Due to a whole whack of reasons. But especially due to anxiety, insecurity, and depression. And we're all too afraid to talk about it.  SO....I think about this stuff a lot. Because I really don't want people to feel so hopeless so often.  So, here's my thoughts on a 4 step plan to the best life you've ever had! 1. Get rid of what you don't want! 2. Get grateful for what you do have 3. Start imagining what you want your life to look like 4. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Just navigating my way though life with small people, trying to learn how to be a better partner and mother and self-care giver. And hey, why not give affirmations and abundance and shit a chance....like where's the harm? In fact, I think I might JUST be on to something when it comes to visualizing. Even if it sounds like a bunch of hooha to say out loud...lol
