How to Create Your Own Luck

 
 

As a singer-songwriter, I know firsthand the importance of being in tune with the universe and tapping into the power of positive energy. That's why I was so excited to stumble upon "Conscious Luck" by Gay Hendricks and Carol Kline in my audiobook app (s/o Hoopla!). This book offers game-changing exercises and perspectives for anyone looking to create a more fulfilling and successful life.

The authors lay out a step-by-step guide for harnessing the power of luck, and it all starts with understanding the concept of "conscious luck." This means being aware of the opportunities and possibilities that are always present in our lives, and being open to receiving them. The book then goes on to offer 8 specific steps for tapping into this power, and I want to share them with you so that you can start creating your own luck today!

  1. Commit to being a VLP (very lucky person)

    1. Make the DECISION/ have the intention to be lucky.

  2. Release your personal barriers 

    1. “That was then, this is now” - consciously break from your past

  3. Become a magnet for abundance 

    1. Turn every shame in your life into your treasure

    2. Most often, this involves helping others

  4. Have luck worthy goals

    1. It’s gotta excite you!

  5. Take consistent, bold action.

    1. This is the hard part, but you’re lucky now you can do it!!

    2. The more steps you take towards your dreams, the more steps they take towards you.

  6. Find your lucky tribe

    1. Hang out with your luckiest friends. Who do YOU consider lucky? It’s subjective.

  7. Learn the right place and the right time. 

    1. This step is all about calming your nervous system and tuning into your intuition- and following it!

  8. Practice radical gratitude

    1. We’re all lucky to be alive, after all! 

    2. The more luck you feel, the more magnetizing you’ll be for luck.

The Power of Playlists: How to Create the Perfect Soundtrack for Your Wedding

 
 

Brides, listen up! Your wedding day is a day that you'll never forget and the soundtrack to it is a big part of that memory. But, let's be real, making a playlist for your big day can feel overwhelming. So, I'm here to share with you my tips on how to create the perfect soundtrack for your wedding and make it a day to remember!

First things first, think about the VIBE you want to set. Do you want a romantic, cozy atmosphere? Do you want a party that will get everyone dancing? Think about the different moments in your day and what kind of music will set the tone.

Next, think about your guests. You want to make sure everyone has a great time, so choose a mix of music that appeals to all ages and tastes. You can't go wrong with a few classic love songs, upbeat party tracks, and maybe even a few surprises thrown in there.

Now, it's time to get creative. I love to use music to tell a story and you can too! Think about special moments in your relationship and find songs that capture those feelings. Use songs to introduce your bridal party, or to mark special moments in your ceremony. You can even make a playlist for your first dance as a married couple!

Finally, don't forget about your own personal favorites. This is your day, after all! Choose songs that have special meaning to you and your partner and make sure they're included in your playlist.

Creating the perfect soundtrack for your wedding takes time and thought, but it's worth it. Trust me, your guests will thank you and you'll have a soundtrack to your love story that you'll cherish forever.

It can be easy to get lost in the world of playlists, especially for such an important day! If you’d like a guide where it’s all mapped out for you, grab my Playlist Power Hour PDF!

Happy wedding planning, loves!
