Transform exhaustion into energy! 

Happy Monday!

Mostly, women are the ones who question themselves the most. Have you heard a man say, “I don’t know what to do?” “What do you think I should do?” “I’m so confused, and I keep going back and forth.” a BIG NO! 

This week’s JOLT - (my method of Joyfully Overcoming Limited Thinking) focuses on when you have a vision for where you are going; even if it’s just a feeling or a nudge, do not question it. Just keep with it long enough for it to be revealed to you.

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

I often ask myself what it is I truly desire
Do I really even know
What would I really love to do
What is it that I am here on Earth to do
What is my real heart’s desire
What would I love
What brings me the most JOY
I love being (insert) of service
I love (insert yours) sharing what I have learned
I love guiding people to their true calling
I love knowing that I DO have a purpose
I love...

Good morning beautiful,

We are halfway through the first month of the year! Time flies, as they say!
So let this weekly dose of joy be your sign to take some BOLD action. 

Do you know what is holding you back from living the life that you would genuinely love? Fear? (False Evidence Appearing Real) Judgment from others (Does other people’s opinions of you really matter?) 

Playing the “B-U-S-Y” card? (This is what Warren Buffet thinks about that: ‘Busy is the new stupid.’) YIKES! That doesn’t feel good.

2024 - The Year of More - The Year to Soar - The Year I will strengthen my core.
What if we focus on the number “24”? The day - not the year. Would that remove worry, anxiety, and fear of what tomorrow will bring and can I get it all done?

Let’s bust the “I don’t have time; I’m too busy” myth with

First, acknowledge how you feel, then use this below to...

Do you have a trust issue?

After conducting some recent market research, I discovered that a common obstacle was women needing to be more trusting and trusting themselves.

Does this resonate with you?

Several women wanted change in their lives but didn’t seek support because they didn’t trust themselves to do the work.  

This time of year, many set intentions, New Year’s resolutions, and promises to themselves. Several weeks in, the feeling wanes, and we slip back into the old routine and way of doing things.

You want to believe you can change.
You want to trust yourself to follow through.
You want to know you are going to do it this time.

But do you believe it? Will it stick this time?

I’d love to offer some reframing of this limited belief so you can live a life full of JOY, ease & abundance. You don’t have to do this entrepreneurial journey alone. Try this below.

I know I’ve said I was going to do...

Happy 2024!

WoW! This last year flew by so fast; did it for you, too? 

Please share your most significant successes with me so I can celebrate with you.
I promise to respond to each one of you!

I pick a word or phrase to kick off each year. Earlier this year, I said I was already using Simplify to Amplify and would use it in 2024. I will keep that in mind as I apply the less is more philosophy and focus on what is most important.

Taking time to reflect these last few weeks has also helped me to be more intentional. I am adding FOCUS (Follow One Course Until Successful) and CONSISTENCY to my mantra as this will create a new habit that I can rinse and repeat ~~

I like how it feels to create a Consistent FLOW~  

We are starting the year without a JOLT, but I am sharing some of my favorite affirmations.  

If you are new to my community, I designed the JOLT (Joyfully Overcoming Limited Thinking) to JOLT myself into a more positive mindset.

Enjoy these...

Merriest of Christmases to You

Peaceful morning to you!

As I am preparing this little note of JOY, I’m thinking of the magic of this time of year. The weather is changing a bit here in California, so we can make a fire inside and spend more time with family & friends. 

One of my mentors said, “You need to slow down to speed up.”  Taking time to be in the present moment takes work because we are wired into the hustle culture of doing something.

So today, I am giving you permission to slow down, be present with those you spend time with this week, and breathe!

Let’s do this!

I’m working on being present more 
I’m learning to be more aware of the person I’m talking with
I’m slowing down to listen to learn, not to speak next
It is taking some practice
I like the feeling of not rushing
I like the feel of slowing down
I like knowing that slowing down doesn’t stop abundance from flowing
I like knowing I’m not the one...

Happy Holidays, Soulful Friend,

A recent email I subscribed to pointed out how dangerous it is to "just be grateful" for what you have. (Mary Morrissey~my mentor's mentor).

I resonated when she said she would complain about the outdated cabinets and countertops to her parents and how they would remind her to be grateful she had a kitchen and not to compare theirs to others. 

(If you are close to me, you know I often do this, too. 

My dream kitchen has been on my vision board/document for some time. 

YOU will see me have this…one day!)

Bob Proctor said, "Always be grateful, and never be satisfied.”

Do you ever say to yourself, "It must be nice" or "One day I'll have that" when you see:

Someone you know buy a new outfit without looking at the price tag?

Someone you know always vacationing at beautiful destinations?

Someone you know seems to have everything drop in their lap?

Being grateful for everything: the trees, the flowers, our friends, our car,...

Hi, Beautiful Soul,

As we are in the season of Hanukkah and Christmas, I always appreciate reminders that the holidays        do not have to be stressful.

Let’s remember the true meaning ~ not reaching year-end goals and hitting our numbers—
Joy, Peace & Love. 

Forget the hustle, the shopping lists, and the events we are hosting or attending, and escape with me for a few moments. 

Take your Joy Break now……

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

I’m taking a break 
I deserve a break
I know it’s ok to slow down
I know I’ll be ok when I pause
The Universe, My Source, God, has my back
The world won’t stop if I take some time for myself 
When I take a break, I’m in the flow
When I have peace, calm, and Joy, more energy flows
I like the peace I feel when I take breaks
It feels good to create space
It feels good not to be rushed
It feels good to be in the moment
I’m closing eyes and taking a few deep...

Good, glorious morning, my friend,

Habits start with a tiny move. Or, as my last week’s newsletter talked about, the power of a decision. Google says “habit” is a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up.

“They” say it takes 66 days, to be exact, to have a new habit stick. So, by Feb. 8, you can expect to see your results forming and taking shape if you start today. Of course, for some, it will be sooner if you work on keeping it in front of you several times during the day.

Let me help you get started.

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

I am ready to make a change
I am really ready this time
I am really serious
I know in the past I’ve said this and didn’t stick with it
I know it’s hard to create a new habit or get rid of an old one
I know I can do it with a commitment
I know I can do it with a system
I know I can set timers to remind me to be aware
I know I can create an affirmation and say it 3 x a day...

Happy Monday, Soulful Friend,

Did you know that the energy of indecision carries its own unique frequency? It's a fascinating aspect of the universe's intricate dance. When positive affirmations lack alignment with purpose and action, it's like sending a letter without a clear address—our dreams might not reach their intended destination.

Let's take a moment to harmonize our intentions and actions, 
creating a symphony that resonates with the universe, 
bringing our dreams to life! 

The secret lies in making a conscious decision. Picture this: 
"I would LOVE this!" Set your intentions free, 
detached from the 'how,' and watch the magical unfoldings 
orchestrated by the universe.

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

If I know that the power of decision is so important…
What will I decide for today?
I will decide to state with clarity what I truly desire.
I will decide to select images of what that would look like.
I will decide to keep the images close by...

Greetings, beautiful soul,

Happy Thanksgiving Week

I'm deeply grateful for your presence in my journey and am bathed in the
radiant joy you bring to my life. 

My intention in crafting these Weekly Dose of JOY newsletters has always been to keep them brief, crystal clear, and centered around the pure essence of joy and the mental shifts needed to break through.

In the embrace of this week, as we gather in heartfelt appreciation for our families (and friends, who, for some, are the cherished extensions of their family), let's also open our hearts in gratitude for the simple beauty of being fully present in this moment. May the energy of thankfulness ripple through every breath, filling our souls with the divine abundance of joy.

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

It’s not always easy to take a break
It’s not always easy to be totally present 
It’s not always easy to relax and know that all is well
I’m choosing this holiday week to practice 
...

Good morning my soulful friend,

Some dreams and goals take forever to manifest in our world, and others manifest "out of the blue."

That happened when I started dreaming about having a house on the beach and envisioning what that would look and feel like.

Tomorrow, I am hosting 12 lovely ladies at a house on the beach. What we dream about and envision sometimes manifests differently than we pictured, but WOW, it's always as it should be! 

Sometimes, it is even better than you could have imagined. So go ahead….start imagining…and let the magic unfold!

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

What if it was easy?
What if I could expand my imagination?
What if I could have whatever I desired?
What if I took the time to let it flow on paper?
What if I took the time to feel how it would be?
What would I dream of?
What would my life be like?
What would be possible?
Hard work would be replaced with ease
I would wake up and jump out of bed
I would feel healthy and full of energy
I would...

Hello my soulful friend,

Many years ago, I learned about our Reticular Activating System (RAS). Stay with me here! This part of our brains keeps us from going crazy. It's a sifter, a sorter, and a built-in matchmaker that lives in your head and matches your thoughts.

We have about 70,000 thoughts a day, and 90% of them are negative! Whoa!! That means 60,000 thoughts per day are the opposite of all those mantras you have been saying once a day!

When you spend most of your day thinking, "I want…" 
you're telling your brain you don't have it.
So, how do we shift our brain into believing we already have what we want?
You become a proactive thinker.

Most of us think by default. Our brain loves to solve problems, so let's use this week's Dose of JOY and our JOLT to ask proactive questions.

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

I want more money
I want to feel healthy
I want more energy
I want all my bills paid in full
I want more clients
I want, I want, I want (you fill in the blank)
Ugh, that...
