SH Note #5 : I'm Only Sharing This With YOU
Aug 21, 2018Hi friend,
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for reading my newsletter! I am grateful for your time. If you have any feedback, suggestions, or requests, please don't hesitate to hit reply and let me know!
I want to make this as strategic, insightful, and useful for you as possible, so you can live your best life and take steps everyday to turn your dreams into your reality. Mercury finally went direct again this week (AKA is out of retrograde) and the lighter energy is such a relief, so let's make the most out of it!
Something personal I'm going through right now is teaching me (once again) that it is NEVER too late, and you are NEVER too old to make a change in your life or face your true self. We will change the world by focusing on changing ourselves first. The universe needs you to be YOU.
I'm constantly consuming and creating content across all channels; below is my latest list of recommended links to help you build your best life:
WHERE I'M TRAVELING
- I'll be heading home to New York City this Friday for 11 days — my first time going back since I moved to London this April (the longest I've ever lived outside of the USA)!
- Although London is my main home base now, I still consider NYC home too, because I lived and worked there for 10 years, my family lives close by, and it's my favorite city in the world. I'll be spending the weekends with my family, and at work in Taboola's NYC office during the week.
- I'm finally getting my Moscow, Russia trip photos up on Facebook, so please like my page for travel + fence jumping updates ;)
WHAT I'M WRITING
- One thing I constantly struggle with is just being my true self. I often find my perfectionist self acting certain ways because of what I think others expect of me. This has led me down the wrong path so many times, and something I've been very conscious of lately. So take a moment to remember with me that the world needs us to be our unique selves, and that we should never trade authenticity for other's approval. I believe in you and treasure you for the rare and extraordinary human being that you are.
WHAT OTHERS ARE WRITING
- I'm always seeking out how to be more efficient with my time, and this article has some great insights: 23 Things That Will Help You Create a Powerful Morning Routine.
BOOKS I'M READING
- I published my Judgement Detox (by Gabrielle Bernstein) book review last week. I highly recommend it if you are ready to release beliefs that are holding you back from living out the incredible life you've always imagined. There is no clearer guide than this book in releasing the fears that hold you back and help you learn how to fully love and accept yourself.
- How to Release Beliefs Holding You Back from Living A Better Life
- Gabby's guide to Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping, is so powerful — if you're looking for immediate relief from emotional blocks in your life, you should give this a try. This technique helped me heal more than anything from my divorce a few years ago, and continues to help me release fears to this day.
PODCASTS I'M LISTENING TO
- Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire — here's a spark to help light that blaze — Mashup: Finding Your Motivation & Passion from The GaryVee Audio Experience.
TRIPS I'M PLANNING
- My (32nd!) birthday is coming up in three weeks on September 10th! It's on a Monday this year, so I couldn't resist using that as an excuse to plan a long weekend away.
- I'll be headed to Belgium — I'll be fitting in a few cities, plus an exciting day trip to Luxembourg to make it a 4 day / 3 city / 2 country weekend :)
- I've decided to exclusively share the google doc I'm actively using to plan and budget for this trip with ONLY YOU, because you're the fucking best for subscribing!
- You can check out my tips on how to plan a bad ass trip on a budget here, and of course you always have access to copying my trip planning template google doc to plan an adventure of your own.
COURSES TO TAKE
- The coupon code for the The Medium Mastery Academy that I shared the other week is ORIOLES if you're still interested in taking advantage of it :) ~ Email me if you sign up so I can support you on Medium!
- I went through this course in the beginning of this year ― it changed the trajectory of my side hustle and gave me the tools I needed to move forward and start making money from my writing.
- This would be a wise investment if you're looking to kick off a writing side hustle, make money from your posts, and build a following. It's usually $397, but Tom hooked us up with a special discount, so you can get it for $297.
JOB OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU
- The (incredible / challenging / fun) company I work full time for — Taboola — is actively hiring right now in all our global offices! Now is the time to apply. Check out the open positions and email your resume (+ links to the jobs you're interested in) to [email protected], I will refer you for an interview. ~ Share this with anyone that would interested.
Now go forth and get shit done! I HAVE NO DOUBT YOU CAN DO IT!
PLEASE forward this link to a friend that would find this helpful too!
