The Phrase That Pays: Part 2

I choose

I loved reading your responses to last week’s post! It’s amazing what a difference 2 little words can make.

What if statements are designed to dissolve resistance and open you up to possibilities. From that state it’s easier to see options that were hidden before.

This week it’s all about owning your ability to create.

Can you tell that I’m on a mindset kick right now? I believe that your mindset is the foundation for all action. It’s the part that we pay the least attention to, but has the greatest impact on what our actions produce.

This week’s phrase that pays is: I Choose…

It’s easy to slip into a reactionary mode with life. Feeling like external forces are responsible for our results, and that our ability to succeed or not is out of our control. It’s an easy rabbit hole to go down, but using the words I Choose can help to shift you out of it.

  • I Choose to believe that I can do this
  • I Choose to take action each day
  • I Choose to show up each day
  • I Choose to learn from others
  • I Choose to believe that everything works out in my favor

I Choose statements are the verbal equivalent of the Power Pose. They shift the energy, and help us remember that we can impact the world around us.

Play with I Choose statements this week. See if you notice a difference in how you show up.

Between these and What if statements, you can open a lot of doors to new adventures.

To your success!
Nicole

July 24, 2026

I’m back!!! There’s been a lot going on lately, (more on that in a later post) and it’s been a few weeks since I’ve sent you a note. Needless to say, I’ve missed you! I’ve been moving through a lot of ‘life’ lately, and there’s been a common thread in my business that has surprised…

How Do You Want Summer To Feel?

June 19, 2026

Summer is often a season of expectations not meeting reality. I used to think my perfect summer meant iced tea on the patio while reading every day. For the record, that’s never happened. And for a while, I felt bad about it — like I was missing out, like I was doing summer wrong. Until…

Your in box is about to fill up with emails about us being 1/2 through the year. You know – the ones that ask if you’re on track with your goals, and offer a solution to whip you into shape for the next 6 months. If you are having a great year – I celebrate…

Letting Go Of The Hustle Sounds Great, But You’ve Got a Business To Run

May 29, 2026

To be clear, I am 100% for less hustle, more flow, manifesting, receiving, regulating my nervous system, and letting things be easier. But somewhere between: “That sounds amazing” and “I’m a real estate agent – I need to generate clients and sell houses to earn an income” Things can get confusing. Because no matter how…

The Beauty of Not Doing It Alone

May 22, 2026

Thank you for being part of this community! I learned something beautiful and powerful last week. It was vulnerable to post about recalibrating, and being in the messy middle of grieving. Yet the conversations, emails, texts and notes have meant to much. To know that we are not alone is one of the greatest gifts…

Recalibrate In a Business That Runs 24/7

May 15, 2026

It happens to me every year about this time. The need to recalibrate. In a business that can run 24/7 – it’s easy to look up one day and realize, your batteries are drained and there’s no break in sight. Side note – It doesn’t have to be a 24/7 thing, but that’s a topic…

It’s Okay For Things To Be Different

May 1, 2026

I often find myself comparing things. I compare my business this year to years past.I compare my health and fitness to where I was 10 years ago.I compare how I show up and experience different life events. On the one hand – it makes perfect sense. Our brains crave predictability. It calms our nervous system.…

I Used To Be So Afraid Of This…

April 24, 2026

I used to dread client conversations. Especially pricing conversations with sellers in a softer market, like we are in right now. I was afraid of letting them down. It came up this week with a new listing. They bought at the height of the market in 2022. Today’s prices are lower than that. How do…

What If Your Income Didn’t Depend On The Market?

April 10, 2026

There are multiple markets occurring right now – in the same cities, on the same streets. Sellers are experiencing it one way. Buyers are experiencing it another. And agents? All over the board. Same market. Completely different results. So what’s the difference? What you believe. What you look for. And how you show up. Two…

Permission To Fall Apart: The Truth About Resetting Your Energy

April 3, 2026

What if your next breakthrough is on the other side of your next melt down? There’s a side to energy and mindset work that no one talks about. Most teachings only talk about being positive. As in – ignore whatever you truly feel and pretend everything is amazing in hopes that you eventually believe it.…
