This is a little birthday thoughts wrap-up and lessons learned
podcast episode.
I would argue that it’s easier to celebrate other people
than celebrating yourself but I think it’s super important
and something I got a little better at this time
around.
I’m sharing lots of ideas of how to celebrate yourself -
whether it’s your birthday or an accomplishment or a milestone or
something you’re proud of - we should lean into celebrating
ourselves, not feel weird about it.
Just like how we should talk to ourselves really nicely like
we would talk to our favorite person - same thing- it’s important
to prioritize celebrating YOU. And making the plan yourself,
not relying on anyone else. It’s empowering and fun!
Also in this episode, 21 other gems of wisdom that I think
you’ll love and take with you!
What I know for sure at 42…
First off…
CELEBRATING YOURSELF

small

day

Tell people what you want / expect
There’s
nothing more important than love. Make sure your people how much
much you really love them and then do anything for them,
always. Most
stress comes from the way we respond, not the way life is. Adjust
how you see things, look for the good, learn the lessons and change
your response. Be
very intentional about your priorities and spend your time and
money accordingly. You
never realize how strong you are, until being strong is the only
choice you have. (Bob Marley quote- love) Good
or bad, this moment won’t last forever. Breathe in and really
enjoy those highs and buckle down and get through the lows. Better
days are on the way. Just.
Keep. Going. Most people give up way too soon. It wasn’t a bad
idea, you just didn’t do it long enough. You
can go down the wrong path and end up in the right place. Sometimes
that’s the process- losing your way can be the best way to find
what truly sets your soul on fire. Work
hard to get in a happy headspace then keep working hard to stay
there. Avoid
everything negative and complaining, no good comes from
it. Take
massive action… no amount of planning or intention actually moves
you toward your goals. Make
yourself uncomfortable as often as you can. It’s good to be nervous
before a big speech and miserable in a cold plunge- it means you’re
putting yourself out there and you’re growing and learning and
becoming tougher & more confident in yourself. Go to
bed without crumbs. Be a good human and you’ll never have to worry
about something coming back around. Being
able to be vulnerable is actually a superpower. So much growth and
confidence comes from owning where you’re at. Choose your pain- the pain of growth or the pain of
staying the same. Prioritize your health everyday, not when you get
sick. When
you truly don’t worry about the judgement of others, you’ll see a
world of opportunities that you didn’t see before. Make
sure you’re running your own race. That you’re intentional about
what success means to you and stop at nothing to get there. The
best way to make good decisions- don’t put yourself in bad
situations. You
cannot lose if you do not quit. (Alex Hormozi quote- love) Saying nothing sometimes says the most. Spend
as much time as possible doing the things you love with the people
you love. Prioritize laughter, fun and celebrations. Celebrate the
people you love - and yourself- as often as you
can
