It’s a little scary to think how quickly technology has improved and proved itself indispensable to our day-to-day living. But, all this remembering has led me to think about the possible upsides of not being so connected all the time.

In our fast-paced, hyper-connected world, if we don’t take control of our summer, it will pass by unused and unenjoyed. Here are 3 simple ways for you to slow down the pace and enjoy the season fully.

Adults like you and me may have lost sight of our joy amidst juggling our responsibilities. Or, what we used to enjoy no longer floats our boat, and not sure where it lies anymore. This takes reimagining the current structures and routines in your life.

We'd like to introduce a simple tool to you called The Inactive Box which we learned from Abraham Hicks. It is, in essence, a symbolic gesture to render inactive any concern, worry, negative belief, or judgment.

You know we are always eager to share any tips, tricks, or life hacks to get you through the day. We gotcha, Girl! This time, we're sharing an affirmation which I also like to refer to as my favorite prayer…

I can be so hard on myself, but I’ll do just about anything for my kids. That little girl, my younger self… she still lives within me. She’s my kid too.

What is that one thing you really want but haven’t gotten or achieved yet? Maybe it's a change of career or a new relationship. Perhaps it's a bestselling novel that lives only as a dream inside your head.

Whatever it is, it's important. And you should GO GET IT.

It may be if you are dissatisfied with your job, considering a career change, have been displaced, or are thinking about turning a hobby into an entrepreneurial hustle. Unfortunately, fear can derail you by keeping you safe and stuck right where you are.

I recently came across a quote asking: “What if fear is just suppressed excitement?”

Bottled-up anticipation, if you will. You know I love a good reframe! This got me thinking: Can I reframe fear to represent that I am about to grow and expand?

Don't ask, "What's wrong?". Instead, ask, "What's possible?" Asking this way takes your focus off the negative or the problem and gets you thinking about the solution. Because, as we all know, for every problem, there IS a solution.

As a symbol of truth and clarity, mirrors are one of the simplest and most direct ways to self-actualization. So grab a mirror, look into those gorgeous peepers of yours, and say:…

A breakthrough changes the course of your life going forward, ensuring that things will never again be the same. While the word indicates some kind of sudden realization, it’s more like having reached the tipping point.

I am sure I am not the only one. Finding one little word that embodies how you want to move forward (or perhaps slow down) in the new year can be overwhelming. So, I took my time with it.

We are fans of choosing a word of the year because it creates a theme for our journey. No deadlines. No sacrifices or harsh commitments. Just a reminder of how you want your year to be. Think of it as a Discovery Process.
