This feels like just the beginning...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After I self-published the Create Your Confidence Guided Journal, something was itching at me. Do I just say "hey I made this one thing - here it is, that's all, peace out" and let it be one awesome project that has run its course? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ OR⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do I give myself permission to dream up even more? Create other resources that can help people work through the crap in their heads and make meaningful changes in their lives?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ummm... yes please!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's scary to allow yourself to imagine the possibility of "more," but it's also thrilling. When I open myself up to the idea of creating more, I'm filled with excitement. There's so much I want to do and it finally feels like it's within the realm of possibility for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'll let you know as I get closer, but I can tell so much is going to happen with "The Self Set," just wait and see.
I'm capable of so much more than I give myself cre I'm capable of so much more than I give myself credit for.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This has been the affirmation I've been repeating to myself for months now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For a while it felt like a plea to myself- like "hey Laura, you should be doing more than this. What's going on?" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But now, considering everything I've been able to do this year, it feels like an unquestionable truth in my life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🗸 I've landed my clients valuable press and guest opportunities on a bunch of different podcasts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🗸 I've self-published a guided journal on Amazon- I took a psychology-process that had such a big impact on my life and made it into a practical guide that helps people work through their insecurities⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🗸 I've done IG Lives and have interviewed inspiring women both online and offline⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🗸 I've taken on new projects without thinking too much about what others might think⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That's a hell of a lot more than I thought I could do.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. Huge shoutout to @luckykphotography for this killer photo she took back in February. Such a talented photographer and wonderful woman. Can't wait to have another local meetup event with you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #personalgrowthjourney #personalgrowth #definingsuccess #affirmationoftheday #selfreflectiontime #sheconquers #winningmindset #mentalhealthblogger #denverblogger #capableofmore #domore #youareenough
What if the crappy things you tell yourself aren't What if the crappy things you tell yourself aren't true?⁣ ⁣ What if that crazy thing you've dreamed of isn't impossible?⁣ ⁣ I encourage you to take out a pen and write out this question - see what comes out.⁣ ⁣ This is a great way to uncover a few limiting beliefs you might be able to let go of.⁣ ⁣ It's given me a lot of clarity this week and I wanted to pass it along to you.⁣

Hey look ma, I made (this) ⁣⁣⁣ Ummm I self-p Hey look ma, I made (this) ⁣⁣⁣ Ummm I self-published a guided journal on Amazon... what?⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ The amount of support I've gotten around this has been overwhelming.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ As much as I absolutely love this journal, it still makes me a little nervous to know that it's out in the world right now.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ What are people gonna think? What if it doesnt meet their expectations?⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I need to take a step back and remember why I created this journal in the first place.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I didnt make this for everyone, I made this for the person I was 5 years ago.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I wanted to take the process that made such a big impact in my life and lay it out in practical way so that other people can work through their insecurities over time.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ As scary as it is to put it out for everyone to see, I'm really glad I made it.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ If you havent already, I encourage you to check out the Create Your Confidence Guided Journal.

You notice one day...⁣ ⁣ When you think of an You notice one day...⁣ ⁣ When you think of an idea and you jump in and do it before your inner-critic can tell you not to.⁣ ⁣ When you go to an event that you would have been too nervous to attend in the past.⁣ ⁣ When your smile feels more natural in photos, not as forced.⁣ ⁣ I've noticed subtle signs of my growth these past few months. Even if it seems insignificant, I think its important to appreciate the ways you've changed for the better.⁣ ⁣ Where have you noticed your growth?⁣ ⁣

Find the fun (even if you have to look really frea Find the fun (even if you have to look really freaking hard for it)⁣ ⁣ Throwback to when I hosted a photo meetup with local business owners. It was such a fun and memorable experience. Something I would have been too afraid to even consider doing a few years ago.⁣ ⁣ There are 3 things I 100% believe have helped me get to where I am now emotionally/mentally:⁣ ⁣ 🔷️ Actively doing things outside my comfort zone - like going to networking events, hosting meetups, or self-publishing a guided journal.⁣ ⁣ 🔷️ Surrounding myself with the right people (including all of you). Ambitious, caring people who aren't quick to judge and who give a crap about peoples' wellbeing.⁣ ⁣ 🔷️ Getting intentional with both my thoughts and my actions. Not being so hard on myself and not spending too much time playing the comparison game (although I admit I still fall victim to it occasionally) ⁣ What has helped you build confidence? What helped you get to where you are today?⁣ ⁣
Un-hate your body.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This gorgeous illustration is by @shhhn_john - a body-positive artist and advocate in Colorado.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm so honored to have her illustration on the cover of the "Create Your Confidence Guided Journal." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I asked her the other day what compelled her to want to collaborate with me on this project.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "When this project was first approached, I was excited to see my work in the hands of its truest audience - everyday folks with a bone to pick. People whose bodies were perfectly well and lovable, but for some reason, had lost sight of that," she said.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I can't tell you how grateful I am to have met so many amazing people like Shanna who care about these topics as much as I do and who understand my "why" behind my guided journal.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Get your copy on Amazon on May 11th.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #createyourconfidence #effyourbeautystandards #buildingconfidence #allbodiesaregoodbodies #standuptobeautystandards #learntoloveyourbody #overcomeinsecurities #bodyconfidence #bodyconfident #confidentwomen #lovetheskinyourein #badbodyimage #anxietyrelief
