When you release the pressure, let the expectations go, change can be an enjoyable experience. When you strip your image of opinion and labels, you allow the energy of discovery to take up space in your life. Give your schedule and your mind room to breathe as you figure out what that means for you. Dig in. Take your time. In the meantime, may these affirmations inspire you to embrace the unknown and move closer to that which you love.

I think it’s important to fall in love with the world as it is before you set out to make a difference in it. One of the best ways to do that is through the language you use every day. These mantras can be part of your meditations, but more powerful than that — they can be part of your everyday life. They can help you think in new ways, can bring you back to your own heartbeat on a stressful day. It's a practice of honoring the world around you and within.

Every now and then, you need someone to tell you that they believe in you. You need to know you're in someone's thoughts, in their prayers and in their heart. It's the knowledge that you're not alone in your struggles and in your hopes, and sometimes that's all you need to keep going.

For some of us, we only have to go out into nature to find whatever it is our soul is missing. If you're like me and find everything you need in a walk in the woods, this poem is for you. It's a way of saying, "thank you, I love you" to the beauty still left all around you.

“Thank you” is one of the best prayers I can think of. But if you’re looking for another way to say “grace” at the table, here you go: 11 food blessings that’ll make your meals taste better and your heart, fuller. I mean, food: what a gift.

You don't have to wait to see what the outcome looks like to feel successful right here, where you are. Why wouldn't you start planting joy before you harvest it? To help you dig up a little more joy in the journey, play these affirmations for success on repeat in your head. They're from my new book, Morning Affirmations!

How amazing would it be to finish that thing you’ve been working on (or thinking about starting) for, what feels like, ever? To speak your mind and do what lights you up? You’ve got to know about my high performance coach! I mean it when I say she can help you change your career, health, relationships, life. I'd know.

The most meaningful work you'll ever do is the inner work of dismantling the walls of your own heart. Service that sprouts from compassion is the most beautiful work out there. Read these affirmative statements to guide your compassionate work, the love-driven work, the intrinsically-rewarding decisions you make.
