Andrea Seydel Live Life Happy Unconventional Book Club
Introduction
Jen Sincero takes us through a how-to guide that help us identify and change our self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviours that stop us from getting what we want. She teaches us How to create a life we totally love- and create it now. AND How to make some money already! The kind we never made before!
Do you ever get that feeling that you have a great life, you are pretty accomplished, but compared to what you know you are capable of, you are unimpressed? The way Jen Sincero puts it- like your living a lukewarm life.
Are you ready to go from WANTING to change your life to DECIDING to change your life?
How we got this way
You are a victim of the rules you live by.
We have a conscious mind and a subconscious mind. Most of us are only aware of our conscious minds, however, that's where we process all our information.
Our subconscious mind contains the blueprint for our lives. It runs the show on unfiltered information it has gathered over time. Also known as "beliefs". We are typically oblivious to these subconscious beliefs that run our lives.
We are all limitless power and energy. Universe is made up of Source Energy. All energy vibrates a certain frequency. Which means you are vibrating right now. Everything you want and every thing you don't want has a vibration. YOU NEED TO RAISE YOUR FREQUENCY TO MATCH THE VIBRATION OF WHAT YOU WANT TO TUNE INTO.
It is not that the things and opportunities that we want in life don't exist yet. It's that we're not yet aware of their existence. We haven't tuned into the frequency or our subconscious mind and beliefs are running the show.
We often hit the big snooze button on our life. When it comes to Self-Perception- it's just as easy to believe we're awesome as it is to believe we suck.
How to embrace your inner badass:
1. Truly love yourself: Appreciate how special you are, drown yourself with affirmations, do things you love, find a replacement for knee jerk reactions to ourselves, ditch the self-deprecating humour, accept compliments, don't compare yourself to others, don't be hard on yourself-forgive, love yourself
2. I know you are but what am I: (Don't waste your time giving a crap about what anybody else thinks of you. What people think about you has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them.) Ask yourself why you are about to do something. Is it to be liked? Always do your best, trust your intuition, find a temporary role model-what would me hero do? love yourself no matter what any one else thinks.
3. What are you doing? Get clear about what your unique purpose, take the first right step- most answers reveal themselves through doing not thinking, everything you do along your journey contributes to where you're going, don't reinvent the wheel-look around at what others are doing, who makes you totally jealous? What are some things people are doing that you think are really awesome? You calling has something in common with theirs. GET SPECIFIC about the things in life that make you feel alive. Follow your fantasies- our fantasies are our realizes in an excuse-free world.
Remember, it is better to be hated for what you are... than to be loved for what you are not. Love yourself no matter who you really are. EMBRACE YOUR INNER BADASS

How to get over your B.S. already:
It's so easy once you figure out it isn't hard! What you choose to focus on becomes your reality. 1. Become aware of what your stories are: I always... I never... I can't... I should... I suck at... I wish... I want... instead of I will... I am... Become aware of what you're gaining from your stories. Get rid of your stories by creating new real truth stories. 2.

PEOPLE ARE MIRRORS: People you surround yourself with are excellent mirrors of who you are and how much, or how little, you love yourself. Also, our reality is a mirror of our thoughts. 1.

Summary
We've discovered what we are the way we are, how to love the things we can't change, how to change what we don't love, and how to use THE FORCE to kick some serious Butt.
You are a Badass is about getting clear about what makes you happy and what makes you feel the most alive, and then, creating it instead of pretending you can't have it. Or that you don't deserve it.
Wanting can be done sitting on the couch. Deciding means jumping in all the way, doing what ever it takes, and going after your dreams with tenacity.
Ok so I hope this has helped you to show up as the brightest, happiest, badassiest version of you, whatever that looks like to you.
