In last week's blog I said this:
I've learned strategies to keep the focus on me and play my game so perfection and control don't take away my magic.
Let's talk about perfectionism.
I want you to have a better understanding of what it is so you can spot it and work with it and come home to...
Do you try to wrestle joy out of your life?
Are you a person that holds your breath?
Are you worrying about what people think about you?
Yeah, me too. And, I've learned strategies to keep the focus on me and play my game so perfection and control don't take away my magic.
I'm grateful to share an opportunity to be of service this holiday season.
For the second year in a row we are going to support the Columbus-based non-profit, Celebrating One, by making and decorating cards for their Send A Card program.
Send A Card sends hand-written cards in the mail to people...
Why do I insist on worrying about something that is going to happen one week from now?
In other words, why am I living in Sunday when today is Tuesday?
Why do I insist on robbing myself of the serenity this moment has to offer?
Why am I not enjoying the show I am watching now and worrying about ...
Did you know that joy is the most vulnerable emotion we feel? Those who are able to be vulnerable rather than staving it off, do so because they practice gratitude.
I was reminded of this fact when re-watching a short Brene Brown video that I sent to my client.
This piece of data kept rumbling...
I have felt worried about all of my upcoming speaking events.
Getting what I want doesn't mean it's easy.
In my journal, I asked myself, What is the worst thing that could happen? What am I most worried about?
Here was my answer...
That I would finish speaking and nobody would say, "Wow, Sara...
Your privilege is a treasure.
Did you know that 60% of our global population doesn't have a flushing toilet that properly manages human waste in the home?
This statistic blows my mind.
Largely speaking, we get to worry about things that are blessings.
Use your worry wisely.
Beyond your pri...
Today I asked a client, why not you?
She has a desire to start a community youth program and she thinks it's a dream for ten years down the road.
Maybe it is.
With so much self awareness she said, "I don't let myself think about starting that program because I have too many doubts."
We explored ...
I recently heard these words by Rory Vaden at The Summit of Greatness:
Success is never OWNED;
Success is only RENTED -
And the rent is Due Every day.
What do you think you own that you're actually renting?
I now believe I'm renting everything.
I rent my body for this lifetime.
I ...
The waves of sadness keep rolling in, and I'm crying from my gut.
I don't know why.
I'd like to know why. I'm not sure the why is as important as letting my body guide me through the process.
I'm listening to her.
I told you a couple of weeks ago that I discovered that the lie I believe about m...
I'm obsessed with the difference between knowledge v. knowing.
I don't know something until it lives in my bones.
If I know forgiveness only in my head, I don't know forgiveness at all.
Forgiveness, in this case, is nothing more than words.
When I forgive, I know forgiveness.
We spent this wee...
We forget that we are the most powerful person in our lives.
We forget that our opinion about ourselves is the one that matters most.
We give so much power to our bosses trying to please them and bend to them, because *we think* they are responsible for our future. *We think* that our promotion re...
