Number 1. Being yourself

Don’t ever tone down who you are to fit in with other people, or to fit in with what you think society wants to see from you. This world rewards those who are unapologetically themselves.

There’s something amazing about an individual who is freely themselves. Strip off the masks and release the role playing.
There’s no need to fit in when you were born to stand out.

If there is anyone who doesn’t love you for who you are… those people aren’t meant to be in your life anyway – so you can use this as a good filtering process to discover the best people for you. The real you.

Number 2. Following your dreams.

You should never have to apologize for following your biggest dreams and goals in life.
If there is anyone that tries to discourage you on this journey, maybe they aren’t for you at this stage in your life.

Negativity is a virus and a dream killer.

You should never be made to feel that living the life of your dreams is wrong or selfish. Going after, and living the life of your dreams is an amazing example to the world and everyone that gets to witness it in your life.

Settling for a life you don’t want is the ultimate act of selfishness because you are virtually sentencing everyone that is witness to it, to carry on that legacy.
Be the inspiration you want to see in your own life.

Number 3. Taking time for yourself.

The main reason you should never apologize for taking time for yourself is because it will benefit all those around you.

You can not give from an empty cup. Carving out some time for yourself is essential for a happy, vibrant and giving life.

Carve out some time first thing each morning as a PRIORITY.
Time you can spend clearing your mind, time you can spend in gratitude, time you can spend meditating. If you do these things first thing each morning it will ensure you have even MORE to give to others.

So take some time, make it a priority, so you can give more of your best self to the world.

NUMBER 4. Ending toxic relationships

Toxic is toxic. It doesn’t matter if they are family, lifelong friends or your husband or wife. If the relationship is eroding your being, it’s time to end or limit that relationship.

If they really cared for you more than their own needs they wouldn’t be making you feel that way.
Set an example that it is NOT ok for anyone to invade your positive energy or anyone else for that matter

Make it clear that you will only accept positivity in your space, love, joy and those who lift you higher.
And don’t forget to BE THAT PERSON to others. Be able to look at yourself honestly and ask if you can do better as well.

NUMBER 5. Living In Your Truth

Those who live in their truth will be led to a quality of life others can only imagine.

Living in your truth means standing for things that may be uncomfortable but things you know are RIGHT.
It means being honest, even when you know the outcome might not be what you want in the moment.
The TRUTH ALWAYS leads to the best destination in the end.

NUMBER 6. You should never apologize for your imperfections.

No one on this earth is perfect. We all have imperfections and you should NEVER feel like you need to hide them or apologize for having them.

You SHOULD always be committed to improving yourself, FOR YOURSELF, but don’t do it because of other people’s demands or expectations.

Those who belong with you will accept you for who you are and by their own example they will inspire you to become the greatest version of yourself.

If you find someone like this. Hold onto them and return the favor.

NUMBER 7. Saying no when you need to.

Most people take on too many tasks because they simply don’t know how to say no when they need to.

Taking on too much can lead to stress and overwhelm, which takes you straight toward a life less than the quality you deserve.

Learn to say NO firmly but without any negativity. Learn to say YES only to those things you love and must do. Learn the difference and it will contribute to your ultimate happiness
