Facts / Strategy learnings:

we need to give ourselves self-love first before we expect Love from others
start to prioritize yourself instead of giving everyone but yourself
discover the best version of yourself
especially women try to prove that we are already enough by taking care of other people
you cannot always give without running empty
the case is not having no time, but we often have habits that are not serving us
find and eliminate the energy drains, often we are draining our energy without even knowing it
learn what's been zapping your energy and what you can do to turn it all around so that you have sustainable energy
so often we are running on remote control and empty which makes it impossible to make a difference to ourselves or other people in our life
are you just surviving and going through the motions instead of living fully aligned
we often try to boost our energy with drinks, food, exercise and sleep

Tips & Tricks / Secrets:

discover who you are and the best version of yourself and enrich yourself first
find the ignition for your life and follow your intuition
make courageous decisions for yourself
give to yourself what you want from others, so you´re not needy
learn to be in alignment of the energy ‘time’ and discover what´s sucking up your time but don´t fight against time
become aware and present and listen
reconnect to your body
open your heart and express your vulnerability and true self without judgment
put time for yourself in your calendar
take time to relax, my dog Joli is my best teacher for stretching and relaxation
come from a place of overflow and happiness rather than from a place of emptiness and bitterness
do not spend time on things you do not like, that is lifetime that is lost
everything is energy
pay attention to yourself and your energy level and create a structure for your life honoring your circle of energy
honor the low energy circles and do not try to push through
you do not need to do it all on your own, delegate and outsource
asking for help is a sign of strength
practise self-care and let it become part of who you are, make it a habit
learn how to be happy without being perfect
change what does not serve you no longer, do not fear the unknown
find out what you are capable of, do not keep your gifts hidden
we are built to overcome challenges, the growth and development is outside your comfort zone
if you are not changing something and keep going on the same old story every day something life-threatening is likely to occur anyway to kick your butt and out of your ‘comfort zone’
better call it familiarity zone, everything is predictable and known
honor the wake up calls (symptoms) and change things before they need to grow into severe diseases such as cancer

Takeaways:

you can liberate yourself from a hectic, unfulfilling life by creating and then deepening quality connections with your body, your True Self and others in your life and with Spirit.
there is always benefit of working with someone who can see beyond what we can see, we went through all that and just realized our common mentor Marci Shimoff
watch out for a mentor who has gone through similar challenges
if you get diagnosed with the c-word, call it cancer, somebody who has faced all the struggles that come along with it can feel and understand much better what you´re going through (e.g. facing cancer myself 4 times and not only surviving but being healed from it I know exactly what you´re going through and how to skip fear around it)
everything involves community
