Lesson #13: Your intuition holds all the answers.⁠ ⁠ The more we pay attention to our intuition, the more magical our lives become.⁠ ⁠ Intuition is energy that's flowing through us all the time. Sometimes we hear it and pick it up, almost like a frequency. At other times, it's very distant and muffled. ⁠ ⁠ As deliberate creators and manifesters, our job is to give ourselves that quiet space where we're not consuming and just be with ourselves. Nothing else. No podcasts, courses, inspirational Instagram posts, or Clubhouse rooms. Just sitting with ourselves in silence.⁠ ⁠ I learned that it's in this quiet space, that we really begin to hear ourselves and tune in to that deep wisdom and knowing called intuition. ⁠ ⁠ That deep voice carries power. ⁠ ⁠ Follow that voice.⁠ ⁠ What’s your intuition telling you to do? Release it in the comments 👇⁠ ⁠ #30lessons30days⁠ Sparkly love💖,⁠ ⁠ Jenna
Lesson #12: Speaking your truth is one of the most Lesson #12: Speaking your truth is one of the most courageous things you can do. Standing up for yourself and speaking your truth, is one of the most courageous things you can do for yourself. It means saying the things that are weighing heavy on your heart. Or, speaking up when you feel like you've been crossed, hurt, or treated in a way you know you don't deserve. Speaking up for yourself in this way takes so much self-love. It’s that sweaty 10 minute conversation you know you don't want to have (but you do it anyways). That incredibly thick, almost intoxicating, overwhelming energy that starts to bubble and becomes so thick you can slice it with a knife. It’s the feeling of your heart racing, palms sweating and stomach-churning in anticipation right before you say 'the thing' you know you need to say (even though there are a million reasons why you don't want to say it). But you do it anyways, that's true bravery. Nobody's gonna hold you to it. They don't know how you feel, what wounds you have, what trauma or scarring you hold inside. Only you know that. Only you know when you need to speak up for yourself. Because, not speaking up, that's a true violation of who you are (and you love and appreciate yourself way too much to play at that level). When you have something to say, you say it. Even full of fear and trepidation. Even when there's uncertainty around how it's going to land and what others will think about this new information, they're not going to like it. How could they? It goes against your true character, or how you feel others perceive you. The nice girl, the good girl. The girl who doesn't speak up…….. When you tell people how you truly feel (even though they might not like it, or you risk offending them), it’s a true act of self-love. The truth is, it doesn't matter how they feel or how they receive it. The fact is, you stood up for yourself, and the only one who's going to do that for you, is you. It's beautiful. It's noble, and it's so, so necessary in making it happen. #30lessons30days⁠ Sparkly love 💖,⁠ Jenna
Lesson #11: Rest is best. In my 20s and most of m Lesson #11: Rest is best. In my 20s and most of my 30s I hustled hard for what I wanted. I put in the time, I put in the effort, and didn’t stop until I made it happen. This allowed for me to achieve a lot, but it also caused me to burn out more than I would like to admit. As someone who loves to create and bring ideas to life, I put a lot of pressure on myself to make things happen. What I’ve learned in the past year or so is the power of rest. It was when I was pregnant that I really needed to slow down and take care of my body more than I ever had in the past. I look a LOT of naps, and had to consciously put less on my plate. There were a couple times I did fall back to my old habit of hustling, but I definitely paid for it later. I’ve come to the realization that resting is often the best thing you can do to make it happen. When you’re feeling tired and depleted, instead of charging forward with reckless abandonment, it’s actually a lot more productive to stop and recharge your batteries. When you’re feeling rested you’re so much more productive, and also make way better decisions. Plus, life just feels so much easier. Our culture of doing all the time isn’t healthy. It’s also not how we were designed. Just like your phone or computer, you can only last for so long before you need to plug in and restore your energy. Sometimes you need to charge even longer to update your OS! How has more rest impacted your productively? Please share below because I would love to hear. #30lessons30days⁠ Sparkly love 💖,⁠ Jenna
Lesson #10: Smiling makes everything better! For Lesson #10: Smiling makes everything better! For as long as I can remember, people have commented on my smile. It’s always lovely to hear, but I actually use smiling as a way to trick myself into feeling better. As challenging as life can be, when I smile it makes me remember that I have so much to be grateful for. At first it doesn’t feel natural, but after a while what I was frustrated or worried about somehow doesn’t have the same energetic pull. You can smile at a lot of things when you become more present. The fact you have clothes on your body, air in your lungs, food in your fridge and technology at your finger tips that is allowing you to read this right now. Life can get kinda gnarly - especially this last year - but overall there are still so many good things we can appreciate. The next time you find yourself stressed, overwhelmed, or in a funk, just try smiling. You might be like WTF am I smiling about at first, but hold it for a little while and it might start to change your overall mood. If not, that’s cool too. I believe we do have the power to change our state if we chose to. Another cool thing about smiling is it attracts other people to you. Obviously when you smile wearing a mask people might not see your mouth, but they can still spot a smize from across the way! It feels good to share a moment with another person even if it’s only for a second. We are craving human connection right now, and just because you can’t get close to a stranger doesn’t mean you can’t share a smile. You have no idea how it might positively impact someone else’s day too. Human kindness if so powerful. Smiling has been one of my greatest tool for elevating myself and others. I’m actually doing it right now as I write this 😊. What are you smiling about lately? #30lessons30days⁠ Sparkly love 💖,⁠ Jenna
Lesson #9: No is more powerful than yes. When I Lesson #9: No is more powerful than yes. When I was in my 20s and early 30s I thought the opposite was true, and at that point in my life it was. When you’re young and starting out you say yes to opportunities and experiences hoping they lead you somewhere. It’s exciting to say YES and throw handfuls of spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks. I did this in all areas of my life from business, hair styles, meetings, dates, trips to exotic places and things I probably should have run the other direction from. I didn’t always get to the places I desired, but I always had a good story to tell! Then as I became older, I learned to say no more. At first it felt really uncomfortable because I have a strong desire to be liked by others and I hate disappointing people. I would have so much anxiety and fear around saying no, and would have to dig deep inside myself to muster up to courage to turn an opportunity down. The biggest things I said no to in my 30s was marrying my fiancé when I was 32, and deciding not to sell Make It to a large company when I was 35. These were both very tough decisions to make, but when I think back they would have led me to a whole different place where I’m certain I would have been unhappy. Those noes liberated me and led me to exactly where I am today which is a pretty beautiful place. I also say many small noes on a daily basis. No to the zoom call where someone clearly wants to pick my brain, no to doing that thing I really don’t want to do but feel socially obliged, no to beating myself up and feeling mom guilt. The list goes on. No is liberating! It creates space and room for what you really want to happen to start happening. Yes can be beautiful and expansive, but only when we say yes to what’s true in our heart when we follow our intuition. Otherwise it weighs us down and keeps us from rising up. What have you said no to lately? Please share in the comments. #30lessons30days⁠ Sparkly love 💖,⁠ Jenna
