My mind was blown away last night. Seriously. Poof. ?
I fell into the internet vortex b/c sleep eluded me.
I was peacefully scrolling through reels when I saw this woman folding a fitted sheet.
So PERFECTLY. Her skill made me click WATCH AGAIN. I was dumbfounded at how easily and precisely she did it. I watched it AGAIN.
And I thought: “Damn! There IS a solution. Why at 50 am I’m just seeing this now?!”
Aside: I CAN fold fitted sheets… if you don’t mind lumpy, bumpy and wrinkly.
She then preceded to fold it into a neat, super tight square.
At that point I knew she was just toyin’ with my emotions. 😉
I mean, is that EVEN possible? A neat little square? From a FITTED sheet?
Marie Kondo is probably her bestie or her competitor. 😉
But it all got me thinking… what’s my sheet folding skill?
What am I a ninja at doing that I make it look so easy, even though it takes LOTS of practice?
Hmmmm… opening a bottle of wine on Friday nights?!
More seriously… what’s a practice I’ve honed that makes others think I was born with this skill?
Communicating confidently.
I definitely wasn’t born with this skill! But now, I’m good at it. 10,000 [more like 100,000] hours of practicing, refining, and turning it into a perfectly neat, tidy and profitable conversation.
And this helps me help other people feel like ROCKSTARS as they bravely and courageously create the life they want… one conversation at a time.
Instead of that wicked fold she used to turn a rounded edge into a straight one, I use Magical Phrases to turn a tough conversation into a connected one.
Not everyone knows the easy way to navigate tough conversations.
But I’ve learned a few techniques over the years. And it’s an awesome, AWESOME Self-leadership skill, especially when we have those tough conversations at 3am with ourselves.
I’d love to give you the same kinda “Ah-ha” moment I experienced last night.
Watch this quick video to get one of my favorite Magical Phrases when you need to start a tough conversation.
To easier sheet folding and easier conversations.
