Welcome back to our new video series. Last week, we began to talk about how to Be Aware of Your Business. We talked about those obstacles that show up in your world without your permission or control, and we began to discuss how to overcome anything. 

You see, it is all up to you. How you exist in every moment is always in your control… when you’re paying attention. So we’ve touched on how you respond to distractions and disturbances. Now let’s talk about overcoming the obstacles that you create on your own. I know, I know – none of us ever mean to have an off day. It’s all about awareness! You have to be fully present to yourself, and you have to know how you show up. I invite you to watch this week’s video to begin doing just that right now.

It all starts with your intentionality. Let me ask you some questions. You may want to sit down with a pen and paper, and really dissect these. If you want to overcome your obstacles, you have to know exactly what they are.

  • How do you show up at work?
  • What’s working for you?
  • What makes a day great for you?
  • Where is your focus?
  • What is it that’s going to move you?
  • What is working for you at this moment in your life? 

Let’s talk about that last question. Was it hard to answer? It’s easier for all of us to see the negative most of the time. We know what we need, and we know what we do not have. We know what we wish we had. We have to push through the default negative thinking, and get to the beauty in our life. 

Find the goodness in this moment. See the butterfly. Find things to be grateful for, and focus in. Now, answer that question one more time. 

  • What is working for you at this moment in your life?
  • What else?
  • What else?

Look familiar? That’s right!

I need you to get your picture! When you focus your awareness on the things you’re grateful for, you’ll begin to see more and more of those things. Stack up your gratitude, and be in the abundance. Abundance brings clarity, and clarity shows you who you are at your best. Step into your best self with your list. Click here to see who you are at your best today

You need to be able to walk into every day knowing how good you are. If you’ve done the list before, I suggest trying again. As you grow, your list should too. Make your new list, and hang it up somewhere that you’ll see it every day. Sometimes you just have to remind yourself – say the words out loud, folks! I am amazing, I am charismatic, I am flexible, I am motivated, I am happy! When you know how beautiful you are, you’ll begin to see the butterflies everywhere!

In the comments below, tell us where you’ll hang your list so that you start your day in full awareness of how wonderful you are.
