Day 38: Let My Love Open the Door

Hello beautiful people!

Let’s do some super simple, straightforward self-talk reinforcement.

Today is technically a rest day because tomorrow is going to knock your socks off. I want you well-rested and prepped for the intensity of brand work we’re going to do in Day 39, so that means today you get to treat yourself to one of my favorite fun next-tier supports.

Updating your passwords.

So you know you’re encouraged to update your passwords periodically to make your online life a safer place. Of course, the conspiracy theorist in me says it really doesn’t matter as much as they may wanna make you feel that it does, because bots are constantly running to hack any combination of intricate password letters, numbers, and symbols, caps lock on or off, and it’s all just a formality… zzzzzzzzz. But, where it’s fun for me is that there are these places where I am prompted to put my username and password in all over the place — everything from my iPhone’s passcode to my ATM PIN code as well as all of the various websites that need my login — that are opportunities for me to affirm things that are important to me.

I have passwords that contain variations on root values like “blissful” and “goddess” and “RUP” (that’s “Ridiculous Unapologetic Prosperity”). Our home office wi-fi is username TheEnvelopePlease and the password is SMFAninjasFTW. So, when the envelope is opened revealing the winner, it’s always a ninja for the win! Yay! It’s so much fun answering the, “What’s your wi-fi info?” question when a new coaching client comes in for a session! Hee!

Talk about glee-inducing simplicity! This reinforcement of our focus words for the year, our next-tier goals, or just how we want to feel as we navigate through life is a fun little way to stay in touch with some of that energy that feels so dang good to be aligned with. Nothin’ wrong with that!

You can also do this with target show goals, your overarching brand reinforcement, names of creatives with whom you want to collaborate — anything you want to provide a little extra oomph for in your life — you’ve got a great opportunity to do just that with this simple trick. When you sign up for mailing lists, pop your name in as Bountiful Bon or Kickass Keith rather than just your name, so when you receive messages, you’re reminded that you are phenomenal. Because you are!

Here’s another little goodie for today’s rest focus!Today’s work: Take a breath. Relax. Engage in some overdue self-care (Day 36). Revisit a day that overwhelmed you the first (or second) time through. Do some good playing (Day 30). Journal a bit about how this is all feeling for you. Reset some passwords. Create some whimsy in your world.

Extra credit: Write up a journal entry about Brand You, knowing that tomorrow we’re going to do a deep-dive on what fascinates others about your very youness. It’s okay if what you write up today is filled with “I don’t knows.” Tomorrow will bring a lot of a-ha moments if you’re ready. And if you’re not ready, no biggie! You’ll bookmark the day and come back around for more!

We’re just getting started, gorgeous!

Give yourself lots of breathing room for the growth to come.

’til tomorrow… stay ninja!

Bon Sig
