The energy this week has been weird. Normally I have a lot to say or write about, but this week I've been coming up empty. A rarity for me!

​

So instead, I want to share a tip from a client. She's been working with a few coaches to gain control of her health and stress levels. One of them (shout out to Anke Johnson, a functional nutritionist) gave her the tool of the "brain dump." Since my brain is empty and in apparent need of a brain dump, I thought I'd share it with you!

​

The idea is, if you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or whatever, just sit down and write whatever comes to mind.

​

✖️ It doesn't have to make sense.

✖️ It doesn't have to be profound.

✖️ It doesn't even have to be legible.

​

Just write without judging it.

​

This works because you're not stressed because of what's happening in the outside world. You're stressed because of what's going on in your head and your body. The thoughts racing around, trying to get your attention. Like a bunch of birds flying stuck in a bird cage.

​

Writing them gives them a release. Like opening the cage and letting the birds fly away.

​

Once written, you don't have to do anything with the words. You can throw away the paper if you want. But the process of writing gives them an outlet.

​

If you end up doing this exercise, reply back and let me know how you felt!

​

PS: This is another kind of lesson for me, because this is exactly what I mean when I tell people to journal. I'm learning that "journaling" means different things to different people. This client (and others I've had) have resisted journaling, but took to the brain dump idea easily. So note to anyone this may be helpful for - the words you use may mean different things to others, and perhaps going beyond the word and explaining the activity itself may be helpful!

Upcoming Events

📅 Unshakeable - a week-long experience where you learn how to master your mind. I believe the best thing you can do for yourself is learn how to take back control of your dominant thought and emotional patterns. Your thoughts and emotions dictate how you feel, how well you're able to manifest, and how easy it is to access your intuition. This skill has been foundational for me in going after the life I want for myself and understanding how to partner with the Universe to create it. This email tips + live (Zoom) event starts March 3 - save your spot here!

"My experience with Andrea surpassed my expectations! She took the time to understand where I was at, what I was struggling with, and where I wanted to be. Through our coaching sessions she was able to tap into different thought patterns and beliefs that were holding me back and not allowing me to move forward. She gave me tactical and actionable tools to use as these thought patterns come up so I can move through them. Working with Andrea gave me the confidence to go after the life I want to be living and show up in this world the way I was meant to!" Monica
