Who we decorate our lives with has a profound impact on many areas of our lives. Ask just about any "successful" person you know; chances are, they have a mentor. Look to people who hold wisdom, expertise, character, charisma, and integrity, and be like them.

Sometimes we need to just step away so that we can come back to ourselves. Brene Brown says, "Where perfectionism exists, shame is always lurking." Perfection gets in the way of our success. Perfectionism kills curiosity.

Practicing Contentment is all about already having what you already need. It's not about the things that we typically "chase" in the West. They call that the "hedonic treadmill." It's that "never enoughness." Happiness has nothing to do with running after anything.

Allow your light to reflect back to you. Hang out with people who love you, who hold the light for you, who have good manners, and who cheer for you and your purpose. Prioritize pleasure. Prioritize joy. Reward yourself for trying.

Carl Jung said, "Only the paradox comes anywhere near comprehending the fullness of life." Brene Brown shared that "during these challenging moments of dissonance, we need to stay curious and resist choosing comfort over being courageous." I'm going to add to these ideas.

On those mornings that you struggle with getting up - think about this - are you awakening to the work of being a human being? The things you were put on earth to do are the very things that help you rise and shine and get after it.

Think about the one, two, three things, that are your non-negotiables. What gives you hope?What balances out your life? What rituals help you keep your lights on and fortify your journey?

I hope you go all in - to life, to dancing, to loving. When we add dance to our daily life, we actually light up our brains, improve heart health, and brain health, and support us metabolically. Increase your joy, increase your longevity, and keep on dancing!.

Today I'm talking about the benefits of: Meditation, movement, life satisfaction, creativity, decorate your life with people who build you up, putting forth long-range goals, having non-negotiables that help you push your boundaries, selfless service.

It's time to live up to ourselves. Our life's work is already inside of us. We need to step into ourselves. There are personal practices that will help us get there. Fuel your mind, body, and service and give yourself permission to step into the purpose of your highest knowing.
