Happy Fall Beautiful,

I'm a little sad to see summer end. Do you have some regrets like I do? I didn't go to the beach as much as I would have liked to, didn't spend much time out in our backyard (lots of annoying mosquitoes), didn't get together with friends who usually have us over to swim, blah blah blah.

As much as I love a good Pumpkin Spice Latte and warm, cozy sweaters, I'm still going through my summer wardrobe and realizing there were so many pieces I did not wear! 
(I should have added that to my complaint list above, lol).

If you're new here, we start with our "negative thought" or "limited belief thinking" by acknowledging how we are feeling (we don't want to suppress or bury our feelings). Then we turn it around to begin to feel better, and sometimes it takes a few reads to get us on the right path to calm & joy!

Read it out loud with me!

I'm feeling a little sad about the end of summer
I love the warm summer days and the blue skies...

Good glorious morning!

Do you like to read? When I was young, I would read romance novels, and then I went on to read mysteries. I used to read for entertainment. Now, I read to learn and to improve my life, and I hope to improve the lives of others around me.

"Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement." ~ James Clear

In the book "Atomic Habits," James Clear points out that to make our lives better, much of it depends on the habits we have formed.

Often, you don't need to make massive changes in your habits, but it could take as little as a 1% improvement to create a more significant difference over time. (Remember last week I shared that my word for September is Simplify?) 

Let's dive right into this Week's Dose of JOY with a

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

I like knowing that I have total control over my thoughts.
I like knowing I'm in charge of my thoughts.
I know sometimes a negative thought comes through.
I like how quickly I can catch it before it grabs hold...

Hi there, beautiful soul!

Each month, I pick a word to focus on. September is Simplify! 

Each year, I choose a word to cultivate and grow with, and I already know that in 2024, I will continue to use Simplify! 

I teach this concept of choosing a word as a mindset goal 

for my clients to focus on and live with this intention for a year. They have all shared that this simple concept of how to be a receiver of more goodness, flow, ease & joy in their business, and life has allowed them to have an awareness that has fundamentally 

helped them to grow! 

You know I am also a student of this~ consistently applying what I learn and teach. After all, if you ingest information and not put it into action, it's merely entertainment.

Let's get into the flow with this week's 

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

Sometimes, I feel so confused
There is so much information coming at me
Emails, text messages, events, social media, OH MY!
When I get confused, I shut down
When...

Hello, Beautiful!

Abundance flows effortlessly into my life in multiple ways!

I used to be a “do-er”. (OK, I still am!) Always having to be doing something! My mother used to say to me as a kid, “Can’t you just sit still?” I admit, I’m OK with it! I like to feel productive, AND I like to relax!  

(If you’re new to [JJJ], Julie’s Joyful Jolt~ JOLT is an acronym for 

Joyfully Overcoming Limited Thinking)

This JOLT is for YOU if you’re like me!!  

I know I should be taking today to relax
I know that most people love to have a day off from work
I know that many people are enjoying their day with friends
I know that it’s okay to take time off and unwind
I know that I don’t have to be “doing” to be abundant
I like saying, “Abundance flows effortlessly into my life in multiple ways!”
I like that I don’t have to be “making things happen” to be in the flow
I...

Good morning my soulful friend!

Was that a squirrel? If you are like most people, our days are full of distractions. Notifications of emails, text alerts, people popping into your office to ask a question. How do we get anything done, let alone concentrate and focus?

Just in time, your Weekly Dose of Joy appears in your inbox!

Let's take time to refresh our souls. You can meditate quickly, grab your Bible, read some scripture, and quietly ask your Inner Guidance to give you patience and peace. 

Start with a few deep, cleansing breaths…

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

Some days are so stressful
I have so much to do
I keep getting interrupted
I have so many distractions
How will I get anything done
I'll never finish this project
Take a deep breath
Take a few deep breaths
Maybe I should walk away for a bit
Close my computer and turn off my phone
YES! That is what I will do!
Just for 15 minutes
I know it will be refreshing
I know when I come back to it, I will feel more relaxed
Everything...

Hi there beautiful soul!

Is summer winding down? Well, if you have school-age kids, it is! I remember being a little sad when my kids went back to school. Summer went by so fast, never getting in all we wanted to do!

Have you been watching my short videos of the  "Empowered Entrepreneurial Masterclass Series" in my private Facebook Group? I am sharing ways to set up your day, create a life you love and slow down to speed up your results. This week I share Tools to Overcome Overwhelm. Tune in tomorrow at 12 PST live or watch the recording. 

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

This week's JOLT is about slowing down to speed up your results. We do this by acknowledging your feelings (not bypassing them) and creating a positive shift in your thoughts & your actions.

Let's go!!

Some days I feel exhausted.

Some days I just want to wave a magic wand to get my results.

Some days just drag on, and I don't see any progress.

I could take a nap (but I just...

Good morning, beautiful!

One of my core values is "FUN." It's a must in my life! What values do you operate your life and business around? 

This week I will deliver you a JOLT keeping FUN in mind when you set out to tackle your "to-do" list, make a phone call that may be a little intimidating, or take action when you’re not feeling it!

Here you go!

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

What would make this task fun?
What could I do to set myself up for success?
What would feel easy and more enjoyable?
Why don't I call someone who lifts me up?
Why don't I play some upbeat music and dance?
Why don't I go outside and take a *joybreak
That's what I'm going to do!
I'm going to go outside for a quick walk, then work.
I'm going to get some good energy flowing, then make those calls.
I know I will have better results when I put my feelings first. 
I'm glad I took time out to set up my energy flow.
I'm glad I took a moment to feel good first and then took action.
I'm glad I didn't give myself a...

Hi Soulful friend!

Are you playing not to lose or are you playing to win?

Here is Google’s definition of this:  

Playing to win means giving it your all to make things happen including taking risks. Playing not to lose is about making sure that you don't fail irrespective of whether you move ahead or not.

August is all about taking Intentional Action! Taking imperfect action is better than perfect procrastination. Let’s WIN in August!

Let’s jump into this week’s JOLT!

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

Rewritten from Dana Wilde’s Rant

I love the concept of Intentional Action.
Feel good first,
then take action.
Feel good first,
then take action.
Feel good first,
then take action.
I'm open to feeling good.
I'm open to shifting my energy.
I'm ready to feel good.
I'm ready to shift my energy.
I like that shifting my energy is easy.
It's as easy as saying,
"I feel great."
"I'm ready to be productive."
"Today is going to be a great day."
"I'm feeling good and ready to...

Hey there beautiful soul,

As you read this, I am settling into my hotel room at the luxurious Omni Las Colinas Hotel in Irving, Texas. I will spend the next 6 Days with some incredible, powerful women at our eWomennetwork's International Conference (ICON23).

Although we will be networking, learning, and collaborating, this is my vacation. Yes, I know~ Julie. Shouldn't a vacation be no work at all??? Well, you know what they say,

"When you love what you do, you never work a day of your life."

This week is a time to fill my cup, increase my wisdom, learn from those who are where I desire to be, and have some downtime to process it all! 

Let's dive into this week's JOLT

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

I used to worry when I took too much time off of work

I used to think I had to always be "doing, doing, doing."

The idea of taking time off was stressful (the opposite of rest)

I then learned that I was telling myself a lie

I learned that I could still generate income without working

Good morning soulful friend!

If you’re one of my clients, you know that I love diving into how the mind works.
One of my favorite people to study is Neville Goddard. 
He references the imagination as how we impress our 
Desires on our Inner Being. 

One of the ways is to use the Law of Assumption. I thought I would take a week off from a JOLT &
share a short excerpt from my course, The Joyful CEO Life Program adapted from 
Neville Goddard’s Law of Assumption

The Law of Assumption states that whatever you assume to be true in your imagination or mind, if persisted, will eventually manifest in your physical reality.

• Your assumptions shape your reality, influencing your thoughts, feelings, and actions and attracting corresponding experiences.
• Assumptions are beliefs or thoughts you hold to be accurate, regardless of the current external circumstances.
• Your dominant assumptions, especially those fueled by intense emotions and held with...

Hello beautiful soul!!!

I chose to share an older Weekly Dose of Joy & JOLT this week.

It was one of my most "loved," and if you haven't been with me for a while, it will be fresh and new ~ if you have been with me from the beginning, we all need to practice this frequently! (That's how we master deepening our faith & beliefs).

Reflecting on the last 2 years, I'm proud of the imperfect action I have been taking! Until now, I had difficulty making significant decisions without asking everyone their opinion. 

I found that when you ask five people their opinion, they give you their opinion based on their past experiences, current mood, or beliefs.

Having the confidence to sit quietly, ask yourself the questions, and then be prepared to receive the answers. Your Inner Being, Universal Intelligence (for me, it's God), is happy to give you your heart's desire. 

We need to be better receivers!!

This week's [JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

Will assist you in confidently...

Hi Soulful Friend,

How familiar are you with the Law of Attraction? I've heard people say it doesn't work for them. They have been saying affirmations every day, but nothing has changed. The exciting thing is, it does work whether you believe it or not! 

You can manifest what you desire in 5 years, 5 months, or 5 weeks!

Let me help you start manifesting today! How, you ask?

Read this week’s JOLT out loud and with feeling!

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

I feel like I’ve been at this forever

I feel like I’m doing something wrong

I say my affirmations every day

Why is it not working? 

I know when I'm crystal clear with my desires, it matters

I know when I hold a vivid mental picture of my dreams, it works

I know I must put feeling into my affirmations, not only say them

If I can see myself as my future desire now, it becomes visible

I create my reality by yesterday's thoughts

I'm aware of what I have been doing

I acknowledge I have the ability to change my...
