You are a Badass - Jen Sincero

Partial Excerpts (antilibrary)

INTRODUCTION

I always felt like, Come ON, this is the best I can do? Really?

This is about getting mighty clear about what makes you happy and what makes you feel the most alive, and then creating it instead of pretending you can’t have it. Or that you don’t deserve it. Or that you’re a greedy egomaniacal fathead for wanting more than you already have.

It’s about having the cojones to show up as the brightest, happiest, badassiest version of yourself, whatever that looks like to you.

You need to go from wanting to change your life to deciding to change your life

guess what? Your life does depend on it. As challenging as this may sound, it’s nowhere near as brutal as waking up in the middle of the night feeling like someone parked a car on your chest, crushed under the realization that your life is zooming by and you have yet to start living it in a way that has any real meaning to you

My main focus when I started working on myself was how to make money

hired my first coach. Within the first six months, I tripled my income with an online business that I created around coaching writers

CHAPTER 1: My Subconscious Made Me Do It

You are a victim of the rules you live by.
—Jenny Holzer

I realize I’m making it sound like we’re all crazy, but that’s because we kind of are.

Most people are living in an illusion based on someone else’s beliefs

We as humans have a conscious mind and a subconscious mind

The subconscious mind believes everything because it has no filter, it doesn’t know the difference between what’s true and what’s not true

Our conscious mind thinks it’s in control, but it isn’t. Our subconscious mind doesn’t think about anything, but is in control.

The first key to ridding yourself of limiting subconscious beliefs is to become aware of them.

Take a minute to look at some of the less-than-impressive areas of your life and think about the underlying beliefs that could have created them.

write down the first five things that come to your mind when you think about

CHAPTER 2: The G-Word

This is sort of the same way the God thing happened for me

Personally, I find the God word to be a tad too loaded, I prefer Source Energy, The Universe, The Vortex, Spirit, The Mother Lode

When I’m connected with Source Energy and in the flow, I am so much more powerful, so much more in tune to my physical world and the world beyond, and just so much happier in general.

Vibration attracts like vibration

The Universe will match whatever vibration you put out. And you can’t fool The Universe

CHAPTER 6: Love the One You Is

Self-love, the simplest yet most powerful thing ever, flies right out the window when we start taking in outside information. I’m not talking about conceit or narcissism, because those things also come from fear and a lack of self-love. I’m talking about a deep connection with our highest selves, and an unshakable ability to forgive our lowest. I’m talking about loving ourselves enough to let go of guilt, resentment, and criticism and embrace compassion, joy, and gratitude.

When we’re happy and all in love with ourselves, we can’t be bothered with the bullshit (our own or other people’s).

here are some of the best ways to win yourself over again:

1. APPRECIATE HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE

2. DROWN YOURSELF IN AFFIRMATIONS

Here are some affirmations specific to self-love. Pick one or two that work for you and pummel yourself with them:
