the one thing that took my life from...hectic to peaceful (ahhh)
I started doing ONE thing that quite literally catapulted my life from hectic and frustrating to peaceful and fulfilled in one year.
And if you’re in the ‘self-development’ space, then read on, because you’ll learn some of my best tips for cultivating this one simple thing.
It acts as a catalyst for EVERY PART of your life. One that makes every big shift, LIGHTER and EASIER.
AND it’s interesting, because when I ask my clients if they’re doing this consistently, many say that they don’t have time or don’t know where to start.
And what’s more interesting, if you were to ask me if I was doing this back a few years ago, I would have said yes, but OMG was I OFF target.
In fact, I was humbled to my knees in 2023 after months and months of frustration at work, as a parent, and in all of my relationships. Everything seemed to start leaking and then exploded all at once.
I remember taking a walk in the woods with my dog Ace on New Years Day, 2023, and telling the universe to F-OFF.
Yup, I went there.
I had hundreds of tools, audio and video galore, heaps of notes on my phone, and I still felt stuck.
I had taken on so many roles that not only was I burned out but I was also bored AF at the same time.
So there I was - kind of like a leaky sink - that you just can’t find a tool to fix when you’re sitting there with a pretty awesome tool belt. I tried this and I tried that.
And it wasn’t that the tools were broken or that I was - you don’t yell at a wrench ‘you’re just not good enough dammit’ and it certainly doesn’t help to yell that at yourself ;).
Instead, you try a different angle, a different approach and a new perspective.
I was left with the sobering truth, that I had put myself on a hamster wheel to keep looking for what was wrong with me to eventually get free. That’s like a dog chasing its tail in hopes of finally getting some awesome reward that she doesn’t realize is ALREADY WITHIN.
And as you know, our ‘problems’ and not getting what we think we want provide the greatest wisdom and transformation.
This difficult time set me on a path to master a new skill - one that would land me a year later with more peace, potency and presence than ever before.
So what is the one thing I changed that shifted everything?
I prioritized 5 minutes a day for me and the things I truly value in life.
💫 You are powerful.
💫 So is your choice.
💫 So is your energy.
💫 And it’s how you USE those key elements that matters.
Like I mentioned before, I thought I had been doing this for years. But here’s the thing: it’s not the action you take, it’s the energy and perspective that you take it from that makes all the difference.
When you’re stuck in the rabbit hole of ‘what’s wrong with me?’ you get stuck in the POV of ‘fixing’ and constantly working backward to fix what’s wrong.
If you’re stuck in the past, or doing the same things over and over with no change, how are you supposed to move forward with your life?
The KEY I learned to approach these 5-minutes and choice for me was to be and do it from a different energy based on these questions below:
- what if I’m not wrong or messed up?
- what do I value most in my life?
- where am I already resourced?
- how can I use and apply those resources differently?
- what is true for ME that I have not YET discovered?
When you invest time in yourself from THAT energy, you can:
- clearly see what is useful for you and working and what isn’t
- move from stress to satisfaction
- start playing in your life rather than functioning from pressure
- move in flow not from force
- build your energy, not drain it
- have a perspective of abundance everywhere, not scarcity
If you really look at it, everything (and I mean everything in your life) comes down to energy. Your relationships, your job, your health, your well-being, even your social media content (and emails like this one ;)) are all ENERGY.
And frankly, most people out there don’t get that, and even if they do get it on a conscious level, they’re frustrated or not quite sure how to make the shifts in the underbelly - the subconscious and unconscious terrain beneath the surface - that truly make the lasting ease-filled shifts.
No matter where you find yourself, the fact still remains:
Energy is everything and EVERYTHING is energy.
Your energy is your most valuable resource.
And if you haven’t been using your energy and your time to create more freedom, how are you supposed to create that life and future you’ve been asking for?
When I started to let my energy, my body, my values, and my knowing lead - I ended up using those 5 minutes a day, then 10, then an hour, then a whole day - in a totally different way.
That exploration was new and deeper and different than ever before. And it just may also change for you, like it did for me, the way you look at your life and energy COMPLETELY.
So I’m going to be sending a couple more emails this weekend if that’s okay?
We’re going to continue this conversation and I’ll walk you even more through this reality-shifting, eye-opening process that CHANGED the game for me.
3 things to remember in the meantime:
- You are made to shine and when you integrate all the beautiful parts and pieces of you on the inside with the outside world - the whole planet gets brighter.
- We all hesitate at times before plunging into the unknown. It’s okay and you don’t have to do it all alone.
- The world will adjust itself around your transformation. You choose to change first, in a way that only you know how, everyone and the world gets greater as a result.

Sending you magic,
