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.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

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. Link in bio.⁣⁣⁣
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.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
