Gratitude is a skill, not a feeling.

You don't have to feel happy to practice gratitude.

You don't have to like what's happening.

And you certainly don't have to pretend everything is wonderful.

That's why I teach gratitude as something you practice.

We start with three NEW gratitudes every day. And once the obvious ones run out, we learn to look a little closer.

The more you practice noticing what you can be grateful for, the easier it becomes to find those things, even when life is hard.

You can't always change what's happening.

But you can change how you experience some of it.

That's what we practice in By Design.

Gratitude is not pretending everything is wonderful.

It's acknowledging the good, the bad, and the ugly, and learning to notice what else is true.

I think gratitude is right up there with drinking water and walking as one of the best free things we can do to improve our lives.

But like most things, knowing it's good for you and actually practicing it are two different things.

That's why we start with 3-a-Day inside By Design.

And it's only the beginning.

My four-week program helps women practice changing how they think, how they speak, and how they act.

Not because their lives are perfect.

Because their lives are real.

I journal almost every day.

And before you decide that's one more thing you should be doing, let me explain.

My journal is four questions in the morning and two at night.

That's it.

The morning is about recognizing where I am, finding something to be grateful for, setting a goal for the day and choosing an affirmation.

Then at night, I come back and reflect on the day and celebrate.

The whole thing should take less than 10 minutes.

Because the point isn't to become really good at journaling.

The point is to be intentional about the day I'm actually living.

And this is a really good example of what I mean when I say I teach the HOW.

Small, practical tools that help you take all those things you already know and actually use them in your real life.

Without turning personal growth into another full-time job.

I don't think most women need more information about how to have a better life.

We have bookshelves full of it.

The problem is using any of it when it's Tuesday afternoon, you're tired, someone needs something from you and your brain has 47 tabs open.

That's why By Design is about the HOW.

Small, practical skills you can actually use inside the life you're already living.

Maybe the question isn't:

"What am I supposed to be doing?"

Maybe it's:

"What actually works for me?"

Human Design is one of the tools I use in my private coaching to help answer that question.

But the bigger idea goes through everything I teach:

Your life shouldn't be built around someone else's SHOULD list.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about how quickly we turn our lives into projects.

What do I need to fix?

What do I need to change?

What should I be doing better?

And pretty soon we're looking at a perfectly good life through the lens of everything that's wrong with it.

I'm not saying there aren't things we want to change. Of course there are.

But there's a difference between intentionally choosing something you want to change and constantly walking around believing you aren't doing your life well enough.

Sometimes the first thing that needs to change isn't your life.

It's the way you're experiencing it.

That's a big part of what I teach in By Design.

Not how to create some perfect life where nothing hard happens.

How to live the one you're actually in with more intention, choice and gratitude.

Even when parts of it suck.

The SHOULD list might be more exhausting than the actual to-do list.

Mine has definitely had some ridiculous things on it over the years.

You don't have to tell me yours. 😂

But if you have at least one thing you're officially taking off the should list today, give me a 🙋‍♀️.

We spend a lot of time asking ourselves what we should be doing.

Maybe a better question is:

What do I actually want?

Not someday.

Today.

I'd really love to know your answer.

Sometimes your life doesn't look bad.

It just doesn't feel like the life you thought you'd be living by now.

And somehow that turns into a whole lot of "I should be..." in your head.

That's one of the reasons I created By Design.

Not to give you more things you should be doing.

To help you actually use what you already know to live your life more intentionally.
