No Gossip!

This is week 1 of the Inner Mean Girl Cleanse and our challenge this week is to give up gossip.  Wow!  This is tougher than I imagined.  I’m not happy to say that.  I pride myself on not speaking badly about other people.  What this has taught me is that I don’t necessarily have to be the one who is starting the gossip.  If I participate at all, I am still gossiping.  Yuk!!!

Do you have an inner mean girl?

You know the one; she tells you you’re not good enough or that you haven’t done enough or you’re not successful enough.  This girl has to go!

Enter the Inner Mean Girl 40-Day cleanse.  Lets kick that inner mean girl to the curb!

I am participating in the Inner Mean Girl 40-Day cleanse as a self-love ambassador.  I will be blogging about 6 toxic habits…a new one every week for 6 weeks, starting August 25th!

  • Comparison
  • Judgment
  • Gossip
  • Expectations
  • Obligations
  • Fear-based Media

Please join me if you would like to kick your inner mean girl to the curb!  Men, if you know women who could use this great information, please pass this on.  You may benefit from it too.
This brilliant idea was not mine (darn it!).  You can meet the genius ladies behind this idea and get more information HERE.

Feelings are just feelings.  They have no bearing on your ability to achieve [...]
