We’ve all been there – making half-hearted resolutions that fizzle out faster than a New Year’s gym membership.

It’s like that scene in “The Matrix” where Morpheus offers Neo the choice between the blue pill and the red pill. The blue pill represents blissful ignorance, while the red pill symbolizes the bold decision to embrace the truth.

I’ve had my fair share of these “I decided” moments that have completely transformed my life — leaving nursing, starting my own business, and leaving a relationship because my soul whispered, “It’s time.”

But the most impactful decisions? The ones I made about my identity.

The day I decided to love myself (instead of constantly criticizing my reflection like a fashion critic on a sugar crash).

The day I slammed the door on people-pleasing (because guess what? You can’t pour from an empty cup, and mine was practically a thimble!).

The day I evicted my money worries (okay, they haven’t completely moved out, but at least they’re paying rent now!).

These decisions weren’t easy. But by flipping the switch, I cleared the mental clutter and made space for a whole new me.

 So, what about you, Test? What half-hearted resolutions have you been clinging to? Is it the promise to prioritize self-care? Or maybe it’s the desire to chase your dreams?

Here’s your challenge: Find that “I decided” moment. Declare it with the conviction of Mel Gibson in “Braveheart” (minus the face paint and kilt, unless that’s your thing). Then, get to work owning that decision.

Because when you flip the switch on your self-image, you transform your life. It’s that simple (well, not that simple, but you get the idea!).

Remember, your decisions have the power to change your life. So choose wisely, and choose boldly.

Much love,

A Powerful YES

The next time you feel stuck in a rut, making decisions on autopilot, try this… a powerful YES!

Forget “maybe” or “one day” – those halfhearted commitments are filled with escape routes. But a full-on YES draws a line in the sand, leaving no room for worry or self-doubt.

Think about it: one strong YES can change your whole life. That job application you’ve been eyeing? The solo trip you’ve been dreaming of? The novel gathering dust in your head?

A powerful YES can make it happen!

Your decisions are your story. Every YES takes you down a new path.

What’s your next YES going to be?
