Week 1 is all about gratitude and learning about yourself. We are going to start with Gratitude Week using the ACE Method. Master the ACE Method to become the authentic you! Awareness: Become aware of what triggers your energy, emotions, and reactions. Choice: Choose among possible positive things to learn from the incident. Embrace: Embrace your True Self and imagine yourself acting from a new perspective. Each day, I will present you with brief exercises to use with this method. I hope you can take 10 minutes or more of your day to complete the exercises and and take notes. Taking the time to reflect and let judgments go will help to create a safe space for you to explore your emotions, feelings, and gifts in situations that you face each day of your amazing life. Connecting to yourself, becoming more aware of what triggers your emotions, and knowing that you have a choice in how you respond will transform your life! This first week is focused on finding ways to be grateful for everything in your life and beginning to notice triggers.  Future weeks will build on these skills and will help you create new, powerful choices and habits. I encourage you to print your 7-Week Chart of Skills and reflect every day how did you do? Give yourself a mark every time you use the skill. If you used the skill more times than once during the day, give yourself marks for each one. Remember:  your journey and transformation start here.  It is your choice, your work. Being present with yourself and letting go of all the judgments while embracing your True Self requires noticing and overcoming your barriers and stepping out of your comfort zone. What we love about I-journey, is, that this is our KINDNESS zone. No judgments. Pure love and deep connection. Welcome on your way to the new you!

Congratulations on starting Week 2!  Take a moment to acknowledge your effort and reflect on the power of Gratitude.  I encourage you to continue writing down what you are grateful for every day. Some have found it useful to think about what they are grateful for before going to sleep and then write them down in the morning when they wake up. Find a method that works for you and practice it. Also, please print the Week 2 tracking sheet It's important to note on the tracking sheet when you do any of the Seven skills we will practice during this seven-week program. This week we will focus on Noticing:  To become aware of your triggers and the negative voices in your head. To get started, please stop now and take this five-minute Positive Intelligence Saboteur Assessment: https://www.positiveintelligence.com/assessments/ Master the ACE Method to become your authentic self! Awareness: Become aware of what triggers your negative energy, emotions, and reactions. Choice: choose among possible positive things to learn from the incident. Embrace: embrace your True Self and imagine yourself acting from a new perspective. You will receive daily exercises using the ACE Method. I encourage you to find at least 10 minutes of your day to sit down and reflect on the questions. Please respond to the questions in writing on paper, in email, or journal. Writing down and saving your answers will allow you to see how you have grown over time. Taking the time to reflect with no self-judgment will create a safe space to explore your emotions, feelings, and gifts. Connecting to yourself, becoming more aware of what triggers your emotions, and knowing that you have a choice in how you respond will transform your life! This second week is about noticing those triggers and reflecting on how you would like to react.  Future weeks will build on this ability to notice and will help you create new, powerful choices and habits. Remember:  your journey and transformation start here.  It is your choice, your work. Being present with yourself and letting go of all the judgments while embracing your True Self requires noticing and overcoming your barriers and stepping out of your comfort zone. What we love about I-journey, is, that this is our KINDNESS zone. No judgments. Pure love and deep connection. Welcome on your way to the new you!

Week 3: Listening Congratulations on starting Week 3!  Take a moment to acknowledge your effort and reflect on the power of Noticing your voices in your head. I encourage you to reflect on week 2. What are your impressions? How do you feel after two intense weeks of digging deeper and messing with your habits!? We are aware that the second week was very intense and not the easiest. Reach out to us or let us help you with your saboteurs in coaching sessions or through our Mental Fitness Program so you can spend more time with the methodology that focuses on self-sabotage and our critical voices. We are thrilled to introduce the third important topic in your transformation journey: Listening. Listening is based on curiosity and non-judgment. Listening allows you to build deeper connections with yourself and others. Think of the following three levels* of listening: Level 1: Focused on yourself, your reactions, and your next comment/question. This level is all about ME! Level 2: Focused wholeheartedly on the person you are listening to. Being present and mindful and curious about what they are saying. There is no judgment at this level. Think about a time you were in love and listened to your partner with every ounce of being you had. That's Level 2. Level 3: Focused wholeheartedly on the person you are listening to and aware of everything else that is going on. Think about a time when you were in Level 2, and you could also notice body language and anything else happening around your conversation. The deep connection doesn't take place in Level 1 listening. Level 1 listening is about your ego, not about connection!  Deep connection and growth happen in Levels 2 and 3. This week I ask you to dive in: Notice when you are in Level 1. Notice the judgment and energy here. Are you connecting or disconnecting from the person you are listening to? What Saboteurs are present? Notice when you are in Level 2. Notice the power of curiosity. Notice that you don't have to think of questions in Level 2 - they just pop up. What is the energy in Level 2 listening? How are you connecting with the person you are listening to? Notice when you are in Level 3. (Don't judge if you don't experience Live 3 this week. Most of us have forgotten how to do this, but the more you are in Level 2, the more likely you will also experience Level 3.) What do you experience when you are listening in Level 3? Let's start Day 1 and daily practice. Your 10 minutes commitment a day is all you need to feel the change. I-journey is all about the safe space for you to embrace your True Self. Remember to be kind to yourself! It is okay if you skipped a day or two. It's okay if you don't like noticing the judge. Let us know how can we improve to make you feel better connected to yourself? The world is giving you answers each day. Learn to listen.

Congratulations on starting Week 4!  Take a moment to acknowledge your effort and reflect on the power of Gratitude, the insights you learned from Noticing, and the impact that true listening has on yourself and others. It's important to note on the PDF when you do week 4. because you will work with them closely each day of the week. This week we will focus on Living My Values:  Embracing my True Self by living wholeheartedly and authentically in all areas of my life. To get started, please stop now and take Brené Brown's Wholehearted Inventory at https://brenebrown.com/wholeheartedinventory/ Master the ACE Method to become your truest self! Awareness: Become aware of what triggers your negative energy, emotions, and reactions. Choice: choose among possible positive things to learn from the incident. Embrace: embrace your True Self and imagine yourself acting from a new perspective. You will receive daily exercises using the ACE Method. I encourage you to find at least 10 minutes of your day to sit down and reflect on the questions. Please, respond to the questions in writing on a paper, in email, or post your answers in the activity feed. Writing down and saving your answers will allow you to see how you have grown over time. Taking the time and reflect with no self-judgment will create a safe space to explore your emotions, feelings, and gifts flowing from stressful situations that you face each day of your mom's life. We believe that being connected to yourself and aware of your emotions - triggers, then stepping into the possibility - being grateful for what happened, and changing the perspective while reflecting on it again - will ideally help you create a new habit and will make yourself more self-aware and evoke transformation. Remember, this is where your journey and transformation start, it is your choice, your work. Being present with you and letting go of all the judgments while embracing your True Self requires overcoming your barriers and stepping out of your comfort zone. What we love about I-journey, is, that this is our KINDNESS zone. No judgments. Pure love and deep connection.

Skill to learn: How the current mindset limits you. Balance exercise. Congratulations! You’re more than two-thirds of the way through our program. Just two more weeks remain to build the foundation on that journey toward better self.

Our next week is both exciting and challenging. We begin to dive into the Mental Fitness -- we will learn lot about ourselves! You will experience what are your biggest saboteurs. Is it a Pleaser? Controller? or Hyper-Achiever? Empathy towards yourself is a great counter to that lie -- putting the oxygen mask on yourself first, and charging yourself up, so you have even more to give.
