What if I told you there's one major block standing between you and the happiness, love, and miracles you crave and deserve? And that today, we're about to uncover it?

Marci Shimoff is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, world renowned, transformational teacher, an expert on happiness, success, and unconditional love. Today, she is going to share with us how we too can live in our ‘Miracle Zone’ by creating a state of flow where our life is working for us and allowing us to feel more love, joy and ease. But first, we have to start off with identifying what is potentially blocking us from receiving these gifts.

It’s time to shift your mindset and energy to raise your deservability set point so you can start attracting more of what you truly want, paving the way for your best year yet!

Your Dare for the Week ❤️

Breathe and open yourself up to receive the following:  unconditional love for yourself, and what the universe is bringing you, big or small.

Breathe and ask yourself the following questions:

1. Do you have a hard time receiving compliments? 
2. Do you have a hard time receiving gifts?
3. Can you receive help?
4. Do you feel like you should work really hard in order to receive anything? 
5. Do you downplay the good that's coming your way?

Is less stress, less anxiety, and less reactivity on your wish list this holiday season? That used to be me for years, until I refused to let these emotions steal another holiday from me!

One special gift I want to give to you this year is the gift of joy and being present. So I’m sharing three strategies that I’ve been using for years that have allowed me to truly enjoy holiday gatherings, regardless of what obstacles come my way.

As we head into this festive, busy holiday season, remember, you are 100 percent responsible for your thoughts and reactions. With a little planning, a resilient mindset, you can create a more peaceful and enjoyable holiday experience for yourself, and as a result, others as well.


Your Dare for the Week ❤️

Dare to embrace these three tips and put them into practice so that you can fully enjoy yourself with the people that matter most.
