9 Tips for How to Own Pink

Happy One Month Anniversary, new OwningPink.com!  Now let's get back to the basics...

  1. OWN, truly own, all the facets of what makes you whole: your creativity, your spirituality, your relationships, your career, your sexuality, your physical health, and how you interact with the planet.
  2. Be ALL YOU, ALL THE TIME and let the chips fall where they may. Strip off the masks you wear and be authentic in every aspect of your life, regardless of what others think.
  3. Don’t let your quest for balance and your to-do list overwhelm you. While it may be impossible to have a balanced day, you can have a balanced week. Meditate on Monday. Take your daughter to the park on Tuesday. Write in your journal on Wednesday. Have great sex with your husband on Thursday. Cook a healthy organic meal and juice your greens on Friday. Enjoy a long hike on Saturday. And hang with your spiritual community on Sunday.
  4. Find and follow your calling in life. Why are you here? What’s your life purpose? What would you speak about if you have 10 minutes and 10 million people watching? Discover it. Do it. Watch your dreams come true. 
  5. Let your freak flag fly. Embrace joy, silliness, and all the kooky idiosyncrasies that make you even more lovable. Don’t forget to have fun. Laugh out loud and others will too.
  6. You can’t truly love others until you love yourself. Practice radical self-care and remember that your body is the foundation upon which all else is built. Remember that you’re never alone in your quest to reclaim YOU. Seek out like-minded individuals to guide your path and hold your hand. You don’t have to Own Pink by yourself.
  7. Surrender to the Universe. You don’t have to be in charge. The Universe has it handled. Set goals but release attachment to outcomes. Trust that the timing of what happens in life is perfect and that it’s all part of the Master Plan. Just let go…
  8. Stop struggling and go with the flow. We’re taught to fight for what we want, which rarely works. Learning to receive what we desire is much more effective and so much more relaxing! When you’re on the right path, you attract what you need.
  9. Express yourself creatively. We are all creators, giving birth over and over to babies, books, ideas, businesses, relationships. Embrace and nurture the creator within you.
