I'm actually recording this from François. I am currently in Paris. I took a little trip to Pelley just to have a little eat-pray love moment, and I have been thinking about y'all, and I literally was like, "I'm not working. This is my time off. I am relaxing, and my only intention for this was just to relax and to embody the next version of myself to celebrate where I've come, how far I've come, all of the lessons that I've learned over this last year, and really just to celebrate myself. And so to do that, I've just really been pouring into myself, and whether that looks like waking up and doing a meditation, and walking and getting a cappuccino, or a croissant, doing a little bit of window shopping, if you will. But really just really trying to trust my flow, and trust my creative intuition. And it's led me to so much creative inspiration, even just one day in, and so I was like, "Okay, I'm going to create a 10-day challenge. This is literally the most spur of the moment, but it just feels so inspired, because I was thinking, I mean, again, it just came from inspiration, but also just from thinking back to the times that I used to, you know, visit home for the holidays, and how triggering that can be. And I've coached so many of my clients on this as well, because when you go home for the holidays, here's what happens, is that everyone in your world, they have a version of you in their minds. And it's based on the past, and it's based on their projections, but it's not you, right? It's no longer who you actually are. And sometimes when their energy is like extremely profound, then it will pull you back, right? You might find yourself engaging in old habits or old dynamics that you've tried to heal from, or you've tried to move on from. You might find yourself second-guessing yourself a lot. I remember being at so many like family reunions when I would, it felt like what everyone really wanted to ask me was, "When are you going to get a real job?" Right? And it just felt so triggering. I felt like I was a kid again, you know, I'm the youngest child, and just going back and being in my childhood bedroom, it's just hard, right? And what's so challenging about that is that when you are creating celebrity, you are creating a aura, an energy, a magnetism, and an identity that doesn't exist yet. Your job as a celebrity is to be an example of limitless potential. And so when you go like, when like in order to do that, you have to be betting on this future version of yourself. And when you go back home and you're around people from your past, they're seeing past versions of you. And, you know, again, their projections, of course, but they don't see the future version of you yet, right? Maybe your results haven't caught up in time, in real time yet. Maybe, you know, you're betting on when you want to be famous and whatever that level, that next level is for you. You know, I've worked with clients all the way from college students to award winning celebrities and, you know, everyone in between, and everyone is creating that next level of fame and the inclination can always be to focus on how far you want to go, right? The difference between where you're at right now and where you want to go, instead of focusing on where how far you've come, right? And the reason that this is so important is that celebrities are celebrated. Okay? And so if you want to be a celebrity, you need to be celebrated. That starts though within. And I know I'm kind of like dancing around this topic a little bit. But the point of this is that when you are creating celebrity, you are creating a future version of yourself and you are stepping into that. You're creating that energy and your energy is becoming so profound because it is in a state without any fear. And when people are hanging onto the past, like your family or whatever, they're even just looking, maybe it's like completely benign, but they're just seeing past versions of you. Again, they're looking at the past. And if their power, if their energy is stronger than yours, then this new idea that you have in this new identity that you're stepping into, that can be kind of like, you know, it's like a little baby, right? It's like this new, this newborn identity that you're stepping into. And if it's not as strong, then you can be pulled back in, right? And pulled back into those past identities. And then I feel like so often, you know, then we're like, okay, new year, new me. But really, we're just trying to get back to like the version of you before the holidays, really. Like before you turn to all your devices or turn to bad patterns or, you know, it talks like thought patterns, things like that. And so I really wanted to create this challenge to use so that you can use this time to really step into that next level and to make your energy and to make your future and that celebrity energy that you're developing even stronger. Because when you are again, when you are around your family, you are going to be extra triggered. And so that is essentially like the strongest place for you to make growth from and the strongest place for you to work on these tools and to continue betting on this new identity of who you are and of where you are going and to maintain that energy even when the people around you don't see it. So that's the reason for this challenge. And what we're going to be doing, if for the next 10 days is I'm going to have these little mini podcast episodes and they're going to have a little bit of inspiration and also an exercise. So today's exercise, what we're going to do is focus on again celebrations. So again, a celebrity is celebrated and so that has to start with you. Your brain is not wired to focus on celebration. Your brain is wired for survival, which means all it wants to do is look for threats of danger and to look at the past, to look at what you've done in the past to determine what's possible for you in the future. And the problem with that is that again, to create celebrity, you have to be using your vision and using that future focused momentum. And so what I want you to do for today's challenge and you can go to the show notes. I have a little worksheet for you if you are following along here is to write down 35 celebrations from this past year. So the reason that I pick 35, it's kind of a random number, but it is going to really push you to stretch. My guess is if I said five, maybe for some of you, that would even be hard, but I want you to come up with 35 ways that you like crushed at this year. And to really embody this new self concept and all that you've done. And maybe this is what you will overcome, how close you've been, how much further you are now to your goals than you were a year ago. And again, our brain, when we are forward thinking, we want to look at the gap. We want to be focused on the pieces that we're missing, no matter how, you know, this is why we're always growing and evolving as we want to step into these future versions of ourselves. But the inclination can be to get focused on the gap between where you're at and where you want to go. And that energy, if you're leading with that energy, it's only going to push you like further away from your goals. If you think about it, the energy with which you show up to things is kind of like the gas that you're putting in the car. So if you're putting in the car, quote unquote, this gas that's like, you know, focused on old energy or even just looking at your present reality, then you're never going to be able to move forward. And so what we want to do is rewrite these past narratives and turn them into and like, alchemize these into wins. So I want you to look at over the last year, what are 35 things that you have done that you are really fucking proud of? When you step into this energy of celebration, it brings your level of your self-concept up And it makes it easier and it makes it feel safer for you to then go on and to look ahead to the future So that's my challenge for you again I have a worksheet in the show notes if you want to go ahead and do this and if you're alone for the holidays And you're not being triggered by your family. Don't worry. I'm alone for the holidays too I will be your accountability buddy. You can DM me. Let me know that you've done the exercise But if you want to take this challenge even deeper I have two additional options So the first thing is that I have listed the celebrity energy hypnosis in the link to my bio If you really want to supercharge this I encourage you to download and to purchase that meditation and to supplement that as you're going along These next 10 days these 10 days are when most people are taking off again Most people are going into their past. They're going into their past habits. They're going into their vices They're going into the old narratives that their family saw them as and if you use this time to Rewire your subconscious brain so that you feel safer being seen That is going to make all of the difference and set the foundation for you for 2024 to create the next level of fame That you're ready for. So that's the first thing is that I'm inviting you to that challenge And the second one is I want you to stay tuned. I don't have the exact time or date yet But I'm going to be going live both in my book club And also on TikTok Towards the end of the challenge again. I'm not exactly sure what they were going to do this But keep an eye on this if you're listening to this in real time. Don't worry. I will have it in a future episode before it comes But I just want to make sure with jet lag with travel with all of that that it really is at a time That I'll be able to give my most energy to you all so I'm so excited that you're here I'm celebrating you for joining this if you struggle with coming up with 35 things one of them on there It can be that you are participating in this challenge and that you are showing up for it And if you miss a day, it's totally fine. You can come back these episodes are short I know that we all have extra time right now that we're using to scroll and to watch movies and Do that kind of thing so instead I encourage you to just take a few extra minutes and Just participate in these exercises and you can double up on a day if you're you know coming to this late or If you fall off track.
