5 Ways to Get Over Your BS and Start Being True to Yourself

It’s do or die gorgeous and the big hand on the clock? It’s pointing at now.

We are 5 weeks away from Christmas, which is freaking awesome (sun! holidays! fun!) but also freaking scary, right?

As with every year, it seems only the blink of an eye ago that you were planning out your awesome 2013 and telling yourself that this would be your best year ever.

And perhaps it was. I’m sure that there are so many things you can look back on from this year with pride and a well-earned sense of accomplishment. And you totally should celebrate and reward that stuff, especially as the year draws to an end – there’s no better time to do so, after all.

But also – there’s no better time really for a ‘sent with love and respect’ well-placed kick up the butt when it comes to becoming even MORE aligned with who you want to be, and how you want to live your life. And I’m more than happy to be the one giving you that push – I know I’m grateful to those who push ME and so I just wanna send on the love!

So. Let’s talk then, hmm? Let’s talk brutally fabulously honestly about what you DO want and WHY you’re not there yet. And let’s talk specifically about HOW you can get over all those excuses and reasons-you-haven’t-yet-done-what-you-swore-you-would-do and how you can finally start being completely true to yourself. After all – life is now, right?! Let’s press play – today!

1. Stop Pretending You’re Okay With Being Okay

It’s awesome to feel ‘good’ about your life and where you are at, how you’re progressing in your biz and other areas.

But are you really playing this game for a life of ‘good’ or ‘okay’? Or are you after freaking awesome? The truth is you CAN wake up every day feeling motivated, inspired and absolutely thrilled that you get to live YOUR life. And if that’s not the way you wake up right now? I have to say you’re missing out on something you definitely should and could have!

So get real about what you want beautiful – don’t build a business based on what you think would best sell, or based on what others are doing. And don’t build a life based on anything but exactly what your heart most desires. You’re going to put the effort in day after day anyway, right? So jump off that ledge and put it into something that MATTERS to you. You deserve nothing but your very best and if you don’t have it? You’re BSing yourself.

2. Procrastination is Your Saviour: Pay Attention to It!

I have something on my list at the moment that I’ve literally had on there for most of this year. I’m talking I’ve seen it every single day because every single day I do NOT do it and so I move it to the next day! It’s definitely something that would make me money, that’s the crazy thing! Or is it …?

You see, I have a theory about procrastination. It’s a survival mechanism – an inbuilt way of stopping you do stuff you’re not meant to be doing. The long and the short of it is that there is a lot of stuff you COULD do and that would certainly improve your finances/body/relationship/living environment/business etc, but just because you could and even just because it seems a smart thing to do? Doesn’t mean you have to and nor does it mean it IS. Smart, that is.

What do you really want to spend your time on? Don’t you believe within your heart of hearts that success can be yours ON YOUR TERMS? So why try to reach it any other way then, hmmm? I’m crossing that annoying task off my list NOW – I suggest you do the same with one of your niggling ‘should dos’. And comment below when you do!

3. One Day Never Comes – Unless You Make It

It’s very very simple gorgeous. ‘One day’ is today. There is no future. Absorb that knowledge and then freaking well do something about it no matter what your go-to excuse! Speaking of which –

4. Stop BSing Yourself About Why You Can’t

Here’s the thing.

Either your goal is more important, your DREAM is what matters most … or you prefer to give your power and potentially your entire life away to a bevvy of excuses. You can say whatever you like, but no matter WHAT the reason, if it stops you from doing what you really want to do and from being TRUE to the you who you KNOW you really are?

Then your excuse and your comfort zone matter more than your dream. Don’t be that person, please. Please!

5. You Can’t Figure it Out by Trying to Figure It Out

I LOVE to journal and brainstorm. I’m a thinking kind of gal, and if you’re a big dreamer like me then you probably can relate. But really – there’s only so much of your life you can live in your mind, yeah? And at the end of the day you cannot figure it out by trying to figure it out. At some point you gotta get out there and DO it, and figure it out as you go.

Comment below! What is ONE thing you’re going to stop BSing about, being scared to do, trying to figure out and JUST START DOING-  TODAY?
