Message from Beast
WELCOME TO THIS MAGIC MONDAY MOMENT
Kicking off your week with some thoughts around a favorite Disney quote (because in my world - Disney is life!).

Happy Monday!
Much of the work I do with my coaching clients is around uncovering what is getting in the way of going after what they really want. There are quite a few common obstacles – one of which is the hesitation of putting it (the dream, goal, wish, desire) out into the world.
I really like the simplicity of this advice from Beast from Disney’s 2017 live action film, Beauty and the Beast:
We can sometimes be afraid to go after the things we really want. That financial goal. The promotion. An opportunity to step into the light. Having that difficult conversation. Making that move.
Let’s break down Beast’s advice in an effort to silence the fear:
….find it in your mind’s eye…
This is about getting clear about what you want. Being able to articulate it, describe it and own it without judging, second-guessing or minimizing.
I find that taking it from a thought in your mind and making it more ‘tangible’ is an important first step in moving toward achievement.
That might be simply journaling about it, putting it on a sticky note so you can see it every day, making a vision board or creating a background image for your phone. Something to bring it to a more visible and concrete form.
…feel it in your heart…
This is about believing.
It’s loving your why, leaning into the uncomfortable, and unapologetically having faith in your abilities – even when the how isn’t yet clear.
What the head and the heart focuses on is where our energy goes. That energy will spark and create the momentum needed to get what we most want.
Can’t you just feel it?
Identify one thing you most want right now. Ask yourself how you can create clarity and make it visible. Reflect on how much you believe in your ability to make it happen. What energy do you notice when you do this work? Is that energy serving you? What can you do to create a shift?
Wishing you a wonderful week. You've got this!
