I met with my coach (I don’t love this title) Thursday, and as we reflected on some recent decisions, some of which I’ve shared in a previous note, he said something that really stood out to me. He explained how I had said a big yes to my Self earlier this week. By saying no/not now to an opportunity, I was saying yes to maintaining my desire to do what I want, when I want, and how I want. By saying no/not now, I was saying yes to being able to finally move forward along the path that was calling me. By saying no/not now, I was saying yes to ideas that will come in the future and that could not be achieved without complete independence. Saying no is hard. It’s especially hard for me because saying yes has been so good to me throughout my life. As a visual person, I often see great possibilities in most opportunities and get excited about what I believe could be. But every yes to an opportunity that is not aligned with my authentic life is a no to a future opportunity that is. JC |

When you are aligned, connected with your Self, and moving in the direction of your authentic life doors magically open,...
Every once in a while a Daily Note needs to be a little self-promotional–after all, if I’m not going to promote my work, who will? And truthfully, this self-promotion is less about me and more about my friend Breanna Rae Blaney; Bre was my guest on the latest LifeDesign+ podcast last week. I’d love for you to check out this episode to hear about Bre’s journey from the world of finance to launching her own company, The Anya Institute For Human Evolution, to help more people align their...
I had a simple idea last night. To live your authentic life, you just need to be your authentic Self. While it is exciting to think about a more authentic life and all of the good that will come with it, there is no way of knowing if the details of the authentic life you envision are what you will actually experience. There’s a chance that by fixating your attention on the details of the life you are pursuing, you may miss paths to a life more true to your authentic Self. But if you focus on...
