Here's the thing, you may be feeling stuck right now. It happens. Truth is we all feel "stuck" from time to time. If you are stuck in a pattern and frustrated, it can feel like nothing you do is gonna matter. I'm gonna share something pretty simple yet pretty powerful with you. Something that holds true whether you .....

• want to feel less stress in your family
• desire to loose weight
• want to cook and eat healthier
• tired of having clutter around you
• want a new job

You have to simply START!

Seriously, I know it sounds silly but stay with me and I'm going to teach you an acronym you can pull out every time you just want to pull inward, crawl up and wait til' tomorrow.

S.T.A.R.T. - Step Toward Actualizing Real Transformation

• Are you tired of your house a mess - clean out one drawer.
• Do you want to loose weight? Track how much water you drink in a day.
• Do you want to cook and eat healthier? No more eating out this week.
• Do you want to fee less stress? Choose to not engage.
• Do you desire a new job? Work on your resume.

What do all of these desired transformations have in common? - you take one small achievable action. This is important. Choose a small action you know you can achieve and then do it. This builds momentum AND brings movement forward.

Until you just start trying something different, you won't feel different.

It can be scary to try something new if you fear it may fail and then you might feel even worse. And guess what? You might. You feel bad now anyway. Why not try something new and test whether it works or not and go from there?

Failing ISN'T bad. It's weeding out what doesn't work so you are closer to what does.

How's that for a Reframe?

Think about where you are feeling stuck? Maybe it's related to your role of stepmom. Maybe it's something different. Whatever it is, I want you to commit to trying something. And I'd love to hear from you what step you are taking! Seriously, respond to this email and I'll personally write you back a note of encouragement and offer some guidance.
