TLC #022: Building a Stronger You: Three Key Steps to Unleashing Your Best Self

Hey there,

Ever feel like you're going through life, but not really living? Like you're on the outside looking in? We get it. Life's a journey, and sometimes it feels like we're just trying to keep up. But what if we told you there's a way to not just survive, but thrive? To not just go through the motions, but to really make a difference?

It's all about tapping into something deeper, something powerful within you. Let's break it down into three key steps you can start applying today to unleash your best self:

1. Connect with Your Power Source

Imagine your life as a smartphone. Without power, it can't function. You are like that phone, and your power source? It's your spirit, your inner drive. Just like a phone connects to a charger, connecting with your inner spirit powers you up. It brings out qualities like love, joy, peace, patience, and strength. Think of these as your life's apps, making you more effective and fulfilled.

Actionable Takeaway: Each morning, take five minutes to just be still. In that quietness, think about the qualities you want to see in your life that day. Picture yourself living them out. This is how you "plug in" and get powered up for the day.

2. Trim the Excess

Ever notice how a phone runs slower with too many apps open? Life's like that, too. Sometimes, we carry things we don't need—bad habits, negative thoughts, or even toxic relationships. These slow us down. Imagine if you could hit a "refresh" button and close those extra apps. Well, you can. It's about letting go of what doesn't help you grow.

Actionable Takeaway: Write down one thing you want to let go of this week. It could be something like "stop doubting myself." Each time you notice this "app" running, remind yourself to close it. You'll feel lighter and more focused.

3. Share Your Connection

Your phone's got some awesome features, right? But they're not just for you. They're for connecting with others, sharing moments, and making memories. The good qualities you're developing? They're not just for you, either. They're to share with the world around you. When you show love, patience, and strength, you're not just bettering yourself; you're lifting up those around you, too.

Actionable Takeaway: Find one way this week to share a positive part of you with someone else. It could be as simple as a smile, a kind word, or offering a hand. Notice how it not only changes their day but yours, too.

Remember, you've got this. Each day is a new opportunity to power up, trim the excess, and share your best self with the world. It's not always easy, but it's worth it. Because when you're living your best life, you light up the world around you.
