Stress – it’s actually pretty simple


“STRESS is caused by judging the distance between
what is and what you wish would be.

Jennifer Hough


I have a lot to do, and I wish it was all done … but do I? Don’t I love creating? Did I forget that?

As I took a look at my Tedx talk, my slide deck for Tedx, prepping for the amazing workshop we’re running around completing 2023 and embodying our vision for 2024, seeing my parents, having Christmas with my stepdaughters and with three people in TWA sick right now … ahhhhhhh!

But is it all innately stressful? Or was I just judging the distance between what I could see was possible and what currently exists and that it might not get done? The implications of it not getting done? In reality, we could make our circumstances very dramatic, or step into flow.

Here are the choices if you want to step into flow:

1. Change what is by resolving it, taking action, finding playmates to help, and playing music the whole time, just for the fun of it.

2. Change what I wish for so that it’s easier, more pleasant, more do-able. I could also change the timing.

3. Reduce the amount of importance I am placing on this issue (as it is not the issue), and relax a little leaving space for answers to appear by going for a walk.

And then, whichever solution I choose, do it with reverence, gratitude and a pep in my step, knowing that making the decision with confidence already has the universe leaping to contribute to the flow.

Coming up this Saturday, December 30, 2023 and Saturday, January 6, 2024 we’ll be hosting a a powerful new program: RESET AND RENEW FOR 2024 ~ CLEAR THE DECKS AND FUTURE ACTIVATE YOUR YEAR WITH CONFIDENCE as a way of completing the year, clearing the decks and truly being able to celebrate 2024 so you experience flow and confidence moving into a solution-rich year. Let’s live the dream that’s dreaming us together!

I’d love to hear your thoughts about stress, about your past year and the year to come!

With all my love,
Jennifer

My two favorite words…

My two favorite words…

When our actions resonate with our purpose and we’re aligned with the Universe’s potential for us, it’s such an expansive feeling.

The feeling of expansiveness validates you are in flow.

The alignment with greater wisdom is translated through our body as feelings of ‘woo hoo’, ‘yes!’, goosebumps, or fun! It’s confirmation that we’re acting and thinking in line with our ‘highest and best’ life, using our skills and personality, creating in the most aligned way.

Being Happy 101

Being Happy 101

Being Happy 101 – With the next Flight School (our nine-month program) about to start, I’m aware of some pretty powerful insights about my own life, ten of them in fact!

One: Reacting to circumstances definitely leads to drama. Drama always takes me out of my knowing, distracting me from my connection with Innate Wisdom.

Two: My happiness absolutely cannot come from circumstances changing. My happiness must be accessible, regardless of circumstances. It cannot be dependent on how the world is, how the people in my life behave, or an expectation that everything should be perfect. Everything is becoming which, by definition, means it isn’t perfect.

Three: It’s not my job to carry the weight of the world. My job is to show up in love and compassion. It’s not my job to make other people happy but rather to learn to be grounded in my heart. It’s not my job to protect my heart but to emanate from the heart.

What if all the beliefs that you adhere to aren’t even yours?

What if all the beliefs that you adhere to aren’t even yours?

Something happened this week that was such a great reminder to remain humble, and know that we are all human. It also reminded me that we are all human and any beliefs that anyone is better than you or I, are simply old beliefs.

This week I was on a beautiful cheer-fest for Money and You with my dear friend Doria Cordova with well-known thought leaders from all over the world. It was a privilege to be included.

The leaders that have taken Money and You are all incredibly humble and so smart…..and you probably know their names; Jack Canfield, Ken Honda just to name a few.

And, there was a leader who was there that behaved a little differently than the others. He also did not exude the humility of the rest. And I realized that he had stuck beliefs and was being righteous, and that I had beliefs about how he should be.
