So that just happened!!!! I’m still pinching myself after giving my first TEDx talk. Thank goodness I joined this challenge when I did. I was able to tap into regulating my emotions and nerves throughout my journey to the reddot. I came to life while I was speaking and I remember everything about it. I was completely in the moment because, finally I got to express the main points about my life experiences that can help other gifted and talented students and their parents. In a nation where funding and attention is being shifted away from our fastest learners, I felt so fortunate and validated to get a moment to speak up for (believe it or not) an underserved and misunderstood group of students. I am really celebrating that release and freedom ✨

After my TEDx dress rehearsal I went to make a reservation and a restaurant. Next thing I know, I was given a full tour of the restaurant, a choice of seating and a complimentary glass of champagne and appetizer overlooking a golf course. Way to expand my container! I made sure to put away my phone in order to be fully present in the moment and feel the regulation throughout my body. I will hold this feeling and reflect on it each morning. ✨✨✨

I back up again. I had experienced some anger over the last day or so but I was able to work on it today after the live call. The community is so helpful in uplifting me by shedding light on how life plays out in similar patterns. Right now I am paying attention to my breath and practicing compassion for myself. Thank you all!

Hi all! I’m so happy to be participating in the Rich and Regulated challenge with you. As my title says, this is my second time around. I participated in the first 21 day challenge a few months ago. You have to scroll down to my daily shares from my first time. I want to comment during this second time when I have additional insights to share, or if there were ways things showed up differently. For today, day 10, I wanted to share a particular insight that I shared the first time around. Keep notes of which days/practices you felt and helped you the most, so that you can come back to them. The day 10 practice for me reminded me to feel my expansion. Sometimes we get so busy doing all the things in our attempt to hold it together, what we are really holding in is our expansive energy. I am very guilty of that. Because this particular practice was so impactful for me, what I started doing was putting myself in expansion before important business calls, before sending important emails. Yes in my morning meditation I touch my expansion, but it can diminish/fade a little bit with distraction or when fear and maybe a little limiting belief creeps in. Going back to feeling that expansive state puts me where I need to be. Without fail, things always seem to work out better. ❤️

Day 7. My Success Log 1. I do my exercises and meditations every day. 2. I do my daily task from the cleansing challenge. 3. I feel calmer. 4. Today, when I was thinking about working with a new client, I easily stated the fee that Oleg had suggested to me. I also easily said that I am not currently working with everyone. I realized that before agreeing to work with her, I want to choose this client myself. 5. I am rethinking introductory meetings with clients. I no longer see them as free work, but as an interview — an opportunity to take care of myself and see whether I want to work with this person. 6. I worry less about money. I spend less time thinking about upcoming expenses and I am less focused on scarcity. 7. Money comes to me every Monday. And in general, it is coming to me more frequently. 8. A client unexpectedly paid back a debt she owed me. 9. I have several potential clients who specifically want to work with me and are waiting for my decision. 10. I have looked at some of my memories about money in a new way. 11. I opened an envelope specifically for myself and my desires.
