What Comes First – Energy or Mindset?
They aren’t the same thing.
Mindset is just that – working to change your thoughts, which is turns out is pretty difficult. Your mind is powerful. And yes, you can use your mind to think different thoughts and change your outcome. But at its core, your mind is wired to keep you safe, which it equates to same. So any attempt to change is met with a decent dose of resistance.
You can read books, say affirmations and work to shift your mindset, but it’s just that – a whole lot of work.
What if there was an easier way?
A way that takes time and intention, but not nearly as much work and struggle?
That’s where energy comes in.
Your energy is your vibe, otherwise known as your frequency. It’s the ‘how’ in how you show up.
Consider these two scenarios:
You wake up tired, drained and overwhelmed with a long to do list. Do you focus on your mindset and keep telling yourself to be grateful and muscle through it, forcing yourself to dutifully check each item off the list? Perhaps you get it all done, but it was drudgery in every sense of the word. On a scale of 1-10 your energy is about 2.5 and the end of the day.
Or
Do you take a few minutes to shift your energy before starting on the list? Maybe you crank some music and dance around the house while getting ready? I don’t know about you, but music is one of the quickest ways to shift my energy into a more positive and open state. From there the list looks a little less daunting, maybe you even realize some things don’t need to be done, or there are others you can call on to help. You finish the day feeling happy, fulfilled and with enough energy left to enjoy dinner with your family.
Doesn’t that sound better?
Shifting your energy doesn’t have to be difficult and it doesn’t have to become a big ritual that adds a lot of time to your already overbooked day. But the results are huge.
Feeling like your energy could use a boost? Join us for Everyday Energy – a powerful 4 week course that starts next Wednesday April 10th. I’ll be sharing simple and powerful tools that shift your energy to help you sell more homes.

It’s Not Just Your Story – It’s Everyone Else’s Too
I’ve spent years working on my own limiting beliefs — but I discovered one at the Abraham Hicks workshop last weekend that I had completely missed. Esther, aka Abraham Hicks, has been a leader in mindset, energy, and attraction for decades. My mom actually took my sister and me to a workshop 30 years ago,…
Bet On Yourself VS The Market
Last week I shared how the end of August is a weird time – wanting to savor summer, while also shifting back into work mode. Turns out I’m not the only one this happens to! Thank you for all of the notes and feedback. I’ve found that when I’m not taking action, I spend WAY…
I Used To Dread The Last 2 Weeks Of August
Thirty years in real estate has taught me a lot of things. One of the best is this: I can finally see my own patterns. Like the one where I get twitchy every year mid-August. Part of me wants summer to stretch on forever. Part of me is itching for routine, order, and the satisfaction…
Beliefs = Actions = Results – It Matters Where You Start
August is an interesting month for me. I’m savoring the relaxed pace of summer, while also starting to think about Fall and shifting back into work mode. With a shift in focus I naturally start wondering what will happen. Will I be busy? Where will my clients come from? Will they be buyers or sellers?…
What Do You LOVE About Your Business?
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?
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…
You’re Not Behind, There Are Infinite Options
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
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
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
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…
