Today’s Best Ever Daily Inspiration and Journal Prompt is about the The PERCOLATE Process. Whether you have read my book or not, Best Ever You Inspiration and Journal Prompts will help guide you and your lifestyle to be the very best they can be. Following a few of my thoughts you’ll find a journal prompt closer to the end of this blog. I hope you’ll follow with me, as I intend to give us all something to think about and/or write about through Best Ever You Daily. We’re here to talk about brewing your best life in 2018 and beyond. We’re here to learn to make some lasting changes in our lives.
For those of you I haven’t met before, I’ve been married to my husband Peter for around 19 years and we have four sons. I’m now an author with Hay House. I started The Best Ever You Network in 2008 one day at work. I sat behind a closed door and started writing a business plan called Best Ever You. Later that week, I quit my job and in a few moments had the support of my family. I had exited a 17 year career in the regulatory compliance/financial services industry and started to embrace my space and move myself in a direction to help others be the best they can be.
Here I am. Here we are. Yup. Right here. Let me take you back for a few moments to how I got here.
In 1998, I remember my dream to just be ok. I woke up from a near-death allergic reaction hooked up to kidney machines and other equipment helping me survive.
In 1999, I was rushed by ambulance in another near-death allergic reaction. Only this time there were two of us to try and save. I was six months pregnant. My son and I survived.
I spent many years hoping to just be ok, but what I really wanted was to be alive and thriving.
In 2008, I started Best Ever You. I was unsure of what I was doing and how it would be received. I featured my friend from grade school on the BestEverYou.com website. My first radio shows felt like they were reaching vapor and you could hear crickets chirping.
Four years later, I signed my book deal with Hay House. A dream and goal realized.
Today, The Best Ever You Show on Blogtalkradio has over to 2.5 million downloads and over a million are following me in social media platforms. A dream and goal realized.
The dream I share with my husband and kids is for us to live in gratitude. We are.
Those are my dreams and goals. What are yours?
Like I said, I spent many years just hoping to just be ok.
My goal is for us to be better than just ok. Be Better Than Ok. Be Your Best.
I’m here to get you percolating.
When we Percolate, we gradually improve ourselves and others as our message we share with the world expands. When we are our best self, we touch the lives and hearts of others in positive, compassionate and often enlightening ways.
To begin Percolating and be our best, we must first understand that our life opens up when we shift our energy into our passions and talents that tap into our soul. This, combined with developing and using your own set values, goals and a belief and behavior system, will support the lifestyle changes you wish to make to brew your best life. You go where you place your energy.
The 9 points which make up The PERCOLATE Process in my book will help you ultimately “Percolate Peace,” to profoundly shift your life – and – you’ll have some fun along the way.
