- 2 Questions -

• “In what ways have I given my power away to the past or future?”

Coach nudge: When you are in resistance to or commiserating over what has already happened, you open the door to suffering. Similarly, when you worry about possible “negative” outcomes, you save little energetic space for triumph.

• “What do I need to believe in order to let go of what happened and what could happen?” What will bring ease and relief to right here, right now?

- 2 Affirmations -

• I release the expectations of the past and future.

• I choose to take back my power and play full out in the present moment.
