Dear Wonderful Woman,

I hope this email finds you doing well.

Take some time to consider the thoughts below.

I told myself today, I was going to do my best.

I told myself today, to give "fear, doubt and worry" a holiday from my thoughts.

I told myself today, that I would not "give into my perfectionist tendencies" and I would go ahead with imperfect action.

I told myself today, that "it was ok to ask for help", because I am stronger when I don't do it on my own.

Pause and Reflect.

You fill your mind with many thoughts. How about you make a conscience effort to police your thoughts to ones that help you to be kind to yourself.

Take a moment to acknowledge how you feel today about the thing on your mind. Then have the courage to take action, to change course or respond to the circumstance. Open your mind to solutions, opportunity and to the help that is available. When you shift your mindset to thinking that circumstances are "temporary" and not "long-term" you give yourself the opportunity to believe that things will get better.

I urge you to believe that things will get better and that you must move forward with your life, career, business and dreams as best you can. I'm sharing this great blog from the Harvard Business Review on, "Thriving in hard times".

Today, I ask, what positive action are you going to take today?
