I was thinking of Winnie the Pooh again today, and I wanted to share this with you..

✨ “Don’t underestimate the value of doing nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.” – Pooh

✨ “If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” – Christopher Robin

✨ “You can’t stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.” – Pooh

This is a reminder today that it’s okay to slow down. It’s even better to do what feels good to you, and to take care of yourself. It does not all have to be done today, and guess what it’s okay to ask for help! (Asking for help is actually a superpower!)

Sending you a ton of love, light and high vibes today!

I am working on a new keynote around an idea that I have been getting about in my life for years and I have been coaching on it as well… and I need your help today!

Here are the basic idea:

Rushing is the enemy of presence.
It is incompatible with inner peace.
Many of us live with low-grade chronic fatigue and anxiety.
Love, joy, and true, meaningful connections are all impossible in a life of speed.

Would you hit reply and answer these questions below? I would really appreciate it and I am excited to bring you this keynote IN PERSON this year!!

1. Does this idea resonate with you and do you want to hear more? (Comment: YES or NO)

2. What is your favorite title for this keynote talk? (Comment: a, b, c, or d)
a. Relentless Removal of Rushing
b. Ruthless Removal of Rushing
c. Unwavering Elimination of Hurry
d. Uncompromising Eradication of Rushing

I appreciate your help this week and look forward to your feedback! Also, if you’re in need of a few tips to get curious about reducing rushing in your life let me know that too when you comment, and I will send some your way!

Here’s to deep presence and openheartedness daily,

Carmen

Here is an idea I’d like to share with you today. One that has been transformational in my life and one we talk about in Flow Academy endlessly….

Here is your open invitation to curiosity!
Curiosity: An eager desire to know or learn, without judgement or reservation.
Curiosity is playful.
Curiosity is powerful.
Curiosity is courageous.
Curiosity is the key to breakthroughs and creativity.
Curiosity is a catalyst to deeper more meaningful human connections.

4 Steps to Step Into Curiosity in Your Life:
1. Ask more questions
2. Admit you don’t know something
3. Openly explore your interests and desires
4. Begin to actively learn from others- even if your ego says “you already know”
5. Diversity your interests- try something new

This does not happen by accident; we have to be an active designer of our lives!!

I will leave you with this quote that I love from F. Scott Fitzgerald:
“For what it’s worth… it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you see the things that startle you. I hope you feel the things you’ve never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start over again.”

(One more BTW- Do you want more in-person pop-up events this year? If so, where? Let me know that too!)

Sending you so much light and love,
