You Are a Badass®: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life

by Jen Sincero

DO NOT WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME GIVING ONE SINGLE CRAP ABOUT WHAT ANYBODY ELSE THINKS OF YOU.

1. Is this something I want to be, do, or have? 2. Is this going to take me in the direction I want to go (not should go)? 3. Is this going to screw over* anybody else in the process?

The trick is to not only deny the

criticism any power over you, but, even

more challenging, to not get caught up ...

Practice sharpening your intuition, take the time to strengthen your connection to Source Energy, and trust that you know what’s best for you.

FIND A TEMPORARY ROLE MODEL

LOVE YOURSELF No matter what anyone else thinks.

When we share what we were brought here to give, we are in alignment with our highest, most powerful selves.

So if you’re struggling or settling or completely confused about what you’re supposed to do with your life, know that the answer is already here. It exists and so does the life you can’t wait to create. You just need to get some clarity first.

we’re all trying to get to the same place—the place where we feel happiest, the most alive, and the most like ourselves.

Instead of wasting hours and days and years trying to figure out your perfect next move, just DO something already.

Most answers reveal themselves

Take the first step in the direction toward something that feels right and see where it leads you. And do it NOW.

DO YOUR BEST WHEREVER YOU’RE AT

you want to keep moving forward, appreciate wherever you’re at instead of feeling ashamed or grouchy or impatient about it.

This is where really being present in the moment comes in handy.

I think one of the most paralyzing misconceptions is that we’re all supposed to have one true calling

If you really want to get in touch with who you are and what you love to do, and who you love to do it with, dedicate some time to tuning in to your intuition.

Try meditating for five to ten minutes each day at first and add on time as you get less squirmy.

There’s no right way or wrong way

All that matters is that you do it if you want

when we meditate, we practice getting into The Vortex and connecting to Source Energy, which automatically: • Brings us into the present moment • Raises our frequency • Opens us up to receive unlimited information and ideas • Relaxes us • Relieves stress • Strengthens our intuition and ability to focus

Sit up straight and relax your entire face, especially your jaw and your forehead. • Close your eyes, or, if it helps you focus and not fall asleep, keep them open and gaze softly at a spot on the ground a couple feet in front of you. • Focus on your breathing. Notice it moving in and out of your body; you don’t have to breathe in any special way. Just focus on it. • Gently release any thoughts that come into your brain and refocus on your breathing. Keep your mind as clear and empty as possible and listen for intuitive hits that may or may not come through.

Set a timer.

I repeat a word or phrase in my mind like “love” or “thank you” or “yes, please” or “om”—something that makes me feel good and is fairly neutral,

showing up. Even if you’re only in The Zone for one

collective minute out of the thirty minutes you’ve been sitting there, it will eventually start making a notable difference in your life.

positive thinking is all the rage

why meditation, and learning to guide your thoughts and love yourself, can change your life.

Our thoughts are the most powerful to...

I can create awes...

The moment you have the audacity to start believing in the not-yet seen, your reality will begin to shift.

You have to change your thinking first, and then the evidence appears. Our big mistake is that we do it the other way around. We demand to see the evidence before we believe it to be true.

Remember, everything you desire is right here, right now. You just have to shift your perception in order to see it made manifest.

When you take the leap and believe in the not-yet seen, you aren’t supposed to know how to make it happen, because if you knew how, you probably would have done it already. This is about radically changing your reality, so the way to go about it is also most likely outside of your present awareness.

Keep your thoughts directed at your goal, do everything that you DO know

Tell yourself it’s happening. Act like it’s happening. Put yourself in situations where you will meet people who can make this happen. Stay wide open to opportunities that can lead you to your goal. Live, eat, sleep, and breathe your vision. You may feel absurd,

you’re actively visualizing this for yourself,

So even though you’re going to be thinking and imagining the change before it happens, do what you can to make some upgrades to where you’re at now.

Give the place a paint job and clean it up.

keep your frequency high, but it will alert The Universe that you’re not screwing around, that you’re doing everything you can and are waiting for further instruction on the how.

Feeding your mind full of images of the things and experiences that you want to manifest—

that waking up feeling excited about life is for the young, and once we’re older, we need to trade that in, settle down, and be more “realistic.” Yawn.

We’re still allowed to dream, and our dreams are still available to

think back: Was there ever a time where you felt totally in your groove? Where you created and did stuff just because it was fun without worrying about the outcome?
