DAY 13 

MANTRA: “Follow your heart.”

Today is a new month.

I am on day 13 of 75 hard and I have officially been doing my writing challenge for a month. I am kicking butt on my New Year’s Resolutions and sticking with everything has me feeling unstoppable.

While it isn’t always easy – the breakthroughs have been more than worth it. 

I find more of myself in difficult places. 

It’s not always the version of myself that I want to see at the moment, but it’s always necessary. 

I am now aware of how deeply ingrained my desire to quit in the hard moments runs.

I hand myself excuses like I have an endless supply and it has been highlighted here. 

If I really wanted an excuse, I could give myself great ones. I could easily let myself off the hook.

I remind myself on those days that isn’t what I wanted here. 

That isn’t why I started. 

I started because I wanted the challenge, I wanted the push. 

Excuses weren’t going to give me what I needed. 

I am keeping this short because I am giving the majority of my time to editing book three and enjoying my day today. I want to soak in the rest of the weekend doing things that I love. 

But I’ll leave you with this. 

Following your heart is peaceful, kind and adventurous. 

It does not worry or wonder and in the hard times, it wraps you up in the warmest embrace and encourages you to keep going. 

Excuses don’t come from the heart. They come from the head. 

Deep in your soul you know the way, sometimes we just need a little reminder that we truly are all we need. 

Everything else is a beautiful bonus. 

Find gratitude for all of it.
