Michelle is feeling fab and fine today, even though it’s Monday! Both Nicole and Michelle can still remember the days when they used to really dread Mondays. Nicole used to even start dreading Mondays on Sundays sometimes- a real bummer, putting her in the shitter right from the get go! Since she’s been working from home though, things have changed, perhaps because she doesn’t have to worry about things like getting dressed, or packing lunch anymore…  Michelle really likes the idea of Monday Funday, because it really is all about how you see it and what your perspective is. She has realized that even if you have a ton of shit lined up for the day, you can still flip that script and make it fun!  Monday is the day that you can use to set the tone for the whole week, so the choice is ultimately yours!

Sometimes however, even when you’re doing your very best and you’re stepping up and living in the intention of shining, the dreaded Saboteur still shows up. What then? Well, when you’ve been doing your work around this issue, he really does start to seem more like Little Sabby, rather than this big, dark, evil thing that shows up and tries to take you out.  So it’s worth taking the time and really getting to know it. It is well worth doing the work that’s necessary to partner with it, so that you can get to understand it fully- all the while, remembering that you cannot have the light without the shadow.

The cool thing is that when you focus on paying attention to it, you can not only keep it from taking you out, but you can catch it and learn something from it too! This is something that happened to Nicole recently, so she wants to talk about it today and she uses her own experience as an example of how those things tend to show up in our lives. So, listen in, while we sparkle some of that shit out!
