Unlocking Courage

The Path to Brave Decisions and Authentic Living

11/4/2024

The sage is lit, and it’s time to write. Flip the timer and close your eyes.

Dear Spirit,
I know that the past several days have been clouded with doubt, and I do not want that to overshadow how incredibly bad I want this to work. The human in me took over, and I need to be redirected. Please help me. What do I need to do? What is it that I’m missing?
I overwhelm myself with human thoughts, trying to fix what I perceive is broken about me instead of letting it be. Nudge me, mold me. I will do what you tell me, and I will do it without question.

You need to tell more stories.
People need to know that you can help them.
You need more.
You can’t lose hope.
If you want to write, then write.

The first book you need to pump out is on brave decisions. Your time should be spent one hour in the morning on TikTok, and then the rest of the day writing. Start right now.

What does the book of brave decisions look like?
I want it to be a lighthearted and easy read that inspires the fuck out of people.
I want it to compare to Mel Robbins’ The 5 Second Rule.
100-150 pages or so.

What does it need to cover?

What are brave decisions, and how are they different from everyday decisions?

Why are they important, and how do they define us?
What do brave decisions demand from you?

Unsubscribing

This is where you stop caring what other people say and think. You have to deconstruct everything that you have ever learned to create your own opinions.
This is where you take what’s weighing on you and figure out why you’re struggling with it.
What have you subscribed to that YOU don’t actually believe in?

  • Monogamy

  • Beauty standards

  • Gender roles

  • Playing small

  • Obligations

  • Boundaries

Accountability

This is where you take ownership of who you are and the life you want. Acknowledge that every action you take has a reaction, and you are 100% in charge of that.
This is where we strip away all excuses. Can you own your mistakes and keep going?

Worth

Everything in your life hinges on understanding and knowing your worth. If you don’t believe you are worthy, how can you show up for yourself? If you can’t show up for yourself, how can you expect other people to show up for you?

Boundaries

Establishing and maintaining boundaries is crucial to making brave decisions and prioritizing your well-being.

The Five Steps of Making a Brave Decision

  1. Specific Decision: What decision are you facing?

  2. Where Are You Stuck?: Identify the obstacles and limiting beliefs.

  3. So the Fuck What?: Challenge the fears holding you back.

  4. List Out Your Choices: Weigh your options.

  5. Make Your Decision: Commit and follow through.
