Spring cleaning can mean a lot of things:
▪ going through closets to let go of things you don’t need or use
▪ deep cleaning around your house
▪ deep cleaning around your life!

Clean up your life? What does that mean?

Seems like this is my theme of the year: STOP doing what doesn’t work for you and START doing what does!

I have the great honor of participating in at least 3 GGN Track meetings each month. And I mentor a group of entrepreneurs 4 times a month. Plus I coach people. What is patently obvious in all of those encounters is how much energy we all spend getting in our own way!!!

This comes from belief systems, habits of thought that we are pretty much unconscious of, that drive us to keep repeating behavior that, instead of helping us move forward actually holds us back. I keep writing about these things:

▪ pleasing others so we fit in;
▪ putting other people’s needs ahead of our own;
▪ being quiet even when we don’t agree;
▪ cooperating so we stay safe;
▪ making up stories about what others think without even asking them!
▪ not asking for what we want;
▪ filling up our schedules without considering a break, a breather, a respite;
▪ not being clear about our value proposition: what is valuable about us!
▪ saying things like, “this is just the way I am” instead of continuing to grow!

I started writing this note thinking about my grandmother and how she did spring cleaning. She lived on a farm, with no inside plumbing until I was 16; grew her food (both plant and animal); did an amazing amount of work everyday because she had to or there would be no home life. She had very few choices and no time to really think about what she might have wanted for herself. Spring cleaning for her was mainly physical labor. Her greatest joy was going to church where she was respected and admired. At home she mainly cooperated and made sure everyone else had what they needed.

Our lives are completely different! We do have choices; we have time to think, we have a variety of ways we can express ourselves.

So, here’s my call to action: Think about how you want your life to be!

Live the life you’d love to live!

GGN Member Dr. Elizabeth Naylor offers a story:

I really thought our little family might die in that NYC apartment 20 years ago. My husband and 11 month old daughter had pneumonia and my 3 year old son and I had high fevers and bronchitis. We made it, with some help from mom, but that was a turning point in my life.

I didn’t really understand that my husband and I had grown up with a belief system, a mindset around health that wasn’t working for us. We were believing the lie that it was normal to be sick several times/year and that the only way to get better was to see the doctor and get a prescription. We didn’t see that the overuse of these medications were actually part of the problem. And we didn’t understand our unwitting role in the poor health that we were experiencing.

Fast forward 20 years later and we’re a super healthy family. I created this 7 day free course to take you through the journey of how to get there yourself.

Great Girls Network is our way of being the opposite of the Good Ol’ Boys Network (which is still very much alive and well!). Even if you don’t go to Track meetings, your membership gives you a way to support our existence and be a part of a growing group of women who really appreciate each other. And the Semi-Annual Gatherings are unlike any other “networking” event! We know women don’t network like men. We want to build relationships, we want deeper, more meaningful connections. That is exactly what GGN provides.

We created a digital card that helps people understand what they can get from joining GGN so click here to see the card.

Your membership helps give us that foundation, the strength to grow and have an impact on the lives of so many more women.
