Ep 26: Give Yourself Permission
Like this episode? Buy me a coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/5min.awesome
Giving yourself permission is about allowing yourself to take control of your own actions. It has nothing to do with the result or the outcome of what you choose to do. It does mean that you can get out there and give it a try and see what happens. It’s about remembering the things that you have always wanted to do and allowing yourself to do them for any reason.

Ep 25: Make a Plan
Like this episode? Buy me a coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/5min.awesome
Your action step today is to make a plan. Whatever you have in front of you, for your week or your month or your quarter, take an extra 5 minutes to make a plan for yourself. You can make any kind of plan you want. I personally like to write out my “I get to” list, and look at my calendar. You can get out sticky notes and color code your plan. You could brain dump everything out onto a napkin and leave it on your kitchen table to review at breakfast tomorrow. Get a little creative and remember to evaluate your plan to make sure that it is continuing to work for you. The most helpful thing that I have found when it comes to creating a plan is to write it down first. Any further organization after that is much easier once you have it all visible and in front of you.

Ep 23: Slow Down
Like this episode? Buy me a coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/5min.awesome
Time for a simple message today. Breath. Slow down. And breathe again. Yes, most of the time during a 5 minute fuck yeah I am talking about getting excited and inspired, which are often high energy things! And normally I am rearing to get you pumped up to get out and crush it!
Today I want to go in a different direction. I know that I regularly find myself going too fast. This comes in the form of racing thoughts, or too many ideas or wanting to do everything right now and not knowing where to start. I am here to say that the act of slowing down can add good things to your life. Listen and enjoy!

Ep 22: Confidence Part 3 of 3
Like this episode? Buy me a coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/5min.awesome
So we are on part 3 of 3 of our conversation about confidence. It is time to start looking at some more action steps that you can take to build and cultivate your confidence. Before we get into these action steps I want to make a specific distinction between confidence and arrogance. I have heard this many times, and honestly I’ve said this to myself as well. And that is, “I don’t want to be cocky” or “I don’t want to be arrogant.” Fair enough and now that we know what we don’t want, let’s get more specific and define what you do want to be.

Ep 21: Confidence Part 2 of 3
Like this episode? Buy me a coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/5min.awesome
What is in the way of you finding your own confidence? Let’s start here. First of all, one way to look at confidence is your ability to see yourself clearly or to believe in yourself and your capabilities.
On that note my question to you is… Can you see yourself clearly? At some point in time, did you stop seeing the qualities and characteristics in yourself that you are proud of? Or maybe you could see the awesome things that you were doing, but other people couldn’t see them. This, of course, is not a reflection on what you are doing, but an example of how others weren't ready to see your awesomeness. BUT then you started to believe that because someone else couldn’t see your awesomeness, that meant that your awesomeness didn’t exist.
Well I’m here to tell you, your awesomeness does exist and it’s up to you to find it, see it and acknowledge it!
