Summer of Self Improvement
Legacy signals
Legacy popularity: 780 legacy views
I say we focus on really enjoying the next two months and getting ourselves ready for weather what’s coming in the fall. Are you with me?
What does this type of getting ready mean for you? For me it means:
- Maintaining and upleveling my Self-Care Practice for great health, wellness, fitness, and vitalityrn- Clearing the decks of minutiae and distracting miscellaneous noise
- Wrapping up any unfinished lingering tasks and current projectsrn- Putting in place and/or upleveling whatever support I need…
- Nurturing and further developing myself for Alignment, and increased inspiration, motivation, strength, stamina, bandwidth, courage, creativity… (Our Summer 2020 #BestLifeChallenge is great for this if you are interested in up-leveling your life, just saying!)
- Dreaming, brainstorming and planning for what’s next…r
I use Summers as major regroup points and as inspiration time… This is when I usually set up the next big project for the year… There is less grind, more sun and fun during this season. The perfect recipe for innovating and creating…
I get that this Summer is different than our usual and that we are in really tough times… But, remember what we focus on grows, what we resist persists, and we create what we think… So, let’s use these concepts to our advantage…
Let’s not focus on what’s wrong, let’s focus on the opportunities.
Let’s focus on what you need to do and how you need to Be to create your amazing new normal, your New World… If you are tired don’t quit, just rest… It’s Summer after all!
At the beginning of the year, I wrote about change being in the air and about starting a New Era… And, boy, what a New Era we are starting… The thing here is how do we want to instrumentally be part of something new, and not be mere passive bystanders. How can we be progressive in our own lives so that collectively we catapult into the Reconstruction…?
What does that mean for you? How have you been doing your life? What would a progressive approach to it mean for you?
This could take on the form of:
- Establishing radical new health and wellness habitsrn- Enriching your self-care practicern- Decluttering your whole lifern- Upleveling your Mindsetrn- Addressing your negativity bias and limiting beliefsrn- Increasing your personal ownershiprn- Setting effective boundariesrn- Having a voicern- Really meeting your needsrn- Having the difficult conversation(s)
- Making amendsrn- Showering your loved ones with lovern- Rocking consistent Date Nightsrn- Treating your partner as the most important person in your
lifern- Increasing your physical intimacy and your repertoirern- Automating the minutia tasks in your lifern- Outsourcing tasks that are a waste of your geniusrn- Actually putting your genius and Gift to workrn- Taking on your mission, living by your purposern- Influencing through love and connection…
Note, we can’t be progressive with our actions if we are not progressive with our thoughts…
How do you need to wake yourself up and step it up? Now is the time to set up your foundation and lay down the groundwork.
We are creating history, make sure your's rocks!

THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE…
As I’ve written before, one of the reasons some couples’ relationships deteriorate over time is because the partners get lured by life away from their partner… Partners work hard at their jobs and become involved in their careers, children absorb much of their attention and a multitude of life maintenance tasks drain their energy. Compound this with “poor relationship skill” and the fact that most relationships get stuck in the “power struggle” stage of relationships, and we have a formula for disaster!

Which comes first passive men or controlling women?
Which comes first passive men or controlling women? © Evelyn Leite Why do they always seem to team up? This is a question asked of me recently by a reader. Possibly because two passive people would end up on the streets and two overtly controlling people would end up killing each other? Do they feed on each other? Do they each select the other out of some sense of familiarity from childhood?
