Invite the Magic with Annie: Recent Episodes
Annie Cowden
Annie Cowden is that madly enthusiastic optimistic life cheerleader that you wonder if is actually real. Your heart will crack open as her contagious belief makes you remember your childlike wonder. She also will share wisdom on how to listen to your body when you need to make a decision. Just 23 years old, Annie has worked at Walt Disney World, lived in Hawaii, studied in Queens, NY, and is now studying abroad in Thailand. Besides singing, songwriting, musical theatre, dancing, and the Backstreet Boys, her passion and gifts are helping dreamers and adventurers get lit on fire with creating a wild long term vision for their own life. This is a podcast covering mindset success tips, traveling as a student, Disney, and some occasional zen chat. Don't listen regularly if you don't want to accidentally really instill a self belief in you that what you want CAN be possible.
What if you have access to way more wisdom then you have been giving yourself credit for? Don't listen to what the drill sargent wants to do, or what the rebel wants to do. What feels like the peaceful integrity choice? I feel like enough is enough with assuming somebody knows what's best for us, in a way. This only applies reallly if you are like me and love learning and doing what's right and love the idea of potential and growth- because then there feels like an implication that one choice is right one is wrong.Yes I do believe that decisions can lead us closer to our dream and others farther; but now I'm playing with this new idea and it is going to be like a game, and I love it.
First of all I feel anwers in my body, and that has been very validating and healing for me.
You can literally feel what you want to feel, for free. As long as basic needs are met- that was the answer that came to me. That was the sense I got- is that I literally don't need to go anywhere or buy anything, I can just create it here.
What is the move? Give yourself two options Option A and B Pick one option and just ask- do I want to do this? Is this a yes? Pay attetion to how you feel! Something has to be non negotiable in your day! Morning and nightitme- something small. But this is how you show up for yourself. Please head over to. http://www.anniecowden.com/ and connect with me!

How do you not run faster then you have strength? Annie shares about the topic of why it is hard to rest, and shares some quotes from All Things In Wisdom and Order-https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/2010/08/all-things-in-wisdom-and-order?lang=eng "an honest assessment of our strengths and weaknesses—is critical. Then righteous living, thoughtful meditation, and heartfelt prayer place us in the path of heavenly inspiration as we make daily decisions."
"Inappropriate or irrational concern for how our efforts compare to the accomplishments of others will result in unnecessary frustration and spiritual decline. Diligent attention to our duties, our inspired choices, and recognition of our limits will enable us to “win the prize.”
“And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order” (Mosiah 4:27). "There is nothing, however, in the revelations to suggest that modest results from heartfelt effort are less valued in the economy of heaven than greater or more impressive results."

Only robots can be exactly the same all hours of the day. Why is it so hard to go with our body and why do we always resist and fight it's needs? This episode is hoping to give you encouragement to one- say no when you need to. 2- plan rest times and days in advance. Your calendar doens't need to be full from top to bottom! Not just rest- but what you want to do. You know that saying " I didn't get any time to myself". Well what if you treated "time to yourself" like you got paid double what you do at your job to get it. What if it WAS essential? Well it is!

Note- the audio on this one is not good, and every episod after will be good. I just needed to get this episode up here for my pown forward movement. For better quality- check it out on Youtube. What we are going to dive into is mind-body healing.
If you don't acknowledge your own emotions, it will continue to be supressed. All emotions deserve to be seen. Quoted a book from Kim D'Ramo about recieving your symptoms with grace.
"What if I just recieve it instead of a silent resistance"
This is a fire episode!!!! TURN IT UP! You need this in your life, this is the truth. Everyone has it within them. No excuses, you must just tune into it, create it, and find it. Stop belieivng in self doubt energy. Stop believing you won't heal, stop believing you should go half way, stop believing you are not worthy.
You are worthy, you can have the health, success, and freedom. If your voice and body start going lower and quieter, you are not in your true self energy.
From where do you want to be leading your life from? It's a memorized feeling state and you have to do it more often and it will become more regular. You need. 1. Gentle Loving Discipline 2. A loving uplifting voice within vs mean boss energy 3. Physical movement is REUIRED to change your biochemistry and therefore change. 4. You must think thoughts that create feeling of hope. 5. You must be willing to feel uncomfortable feelings.

Annie recaps her show at Orlando Fringe Festival, and how she views energy and the body when it comes to performing.
Reflecting on the love of being on stage and how important it is to commit to your vision!! Trust life!
Making Decisions from your higher self, eternal perspective. How to just start making decisions and trusting yourself. All of the "yeah but" voices is the monkey mind, the scared part of us. That part of the brain will SPIN and spin until a decision is made. That's why we can't rely just on what we think. We have to start SEEING the monkey mind for what it is. Just tell it to relax. If you couldn't mess it up what would you do? How do you want it to be? You can see the voice, you are not the thought.
At the end of the day, you will one day be 85. You will. You have to take care of yourself. You have to live your life. You have to live your passion.
"People who believe in themselves listen to themselves about things that count". (https://www.amazon.com/What-Love-Money-Will-Follow/dp/0440501601) Why should the thing that lights you up the very most, be the absolute last thing on your list? It should be in the top 3, no matter what. Because anybody else you have to take care of or be around, is going to benefit from you being engaged in that activity. Because you deserve it.
Because you love it.
That's it. That's all that's the only reason. That reason is ENOUGH. And even so there are other reasons.
Closed Minded vs Open Minded. Closed minded is fixed mindset, unwilling to change. Remember when everyone believed the earth was flat? Well it's not. So if you treat this belief of "I don't have time or my hobbies aren't worth it" as the earth is flat, maybe just maybe the quality of your life will improve.
"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”― Howard Thurman"

Practice Priming Your Brain For Your Goals
The way to stop believing in limiting beliefs. You must put the thought in front of you and look at it, and step a way from it. Know that whatever you believe is a choice. Believing you aren't capable creates certain feelings. Do you want to CHOOSE to believe that? Do you choose to believe you can't get healthier? It's a choice you have, not a circumstance out there.
- What is the limiting belief? 2. Do I know for sure it is true? Is there any other possibility? 3. What is the REAL truth? 4. What would I do differently if I believed this? What you think about matters. Make it easier for yourself to set your thoughts upon your goals and uplifting pictures, content, quotes and movies.

YOU are the one who has a lower vibration frequency when you gossip. YOU suffer.
Subpoints:
- It's just rude and the other person doesn't deserve their reputation being talked about
- Try having compassion and not judging them
- Write it out in a journal before spreading the negative energy

Who is the one who decided the new habit would be a good idea? It's about why did you DECIDE that this was a worthwhile habit to commit to? Why? You will face feelings of discomfort to overcome cravings and urges. You have to plan in advance new enviornments to think differently. We are not meant to do things by ourself alone. True nobody is going to come save you, you are the problem and you are the solution-AND you can have heavenly help to help you. Facing the crossroads of an old choice and a new choice, it will feel not fun. Do it anyway.

The scriptures talk about bondage and captivity. Bondage and captivity aren't necessarily just external. Bondage and captivity in the mind.
“Dear God, Thank you for this new day, its beauty and its light. Thank You for my chance to begin again. Free me from the limitations of yesterday. Today may I be reborn. May I become more fully a reflection of Your radiance. Give me strength and compassion and courage and wisdom. Show me the light in myself and others. May I recognize the good that is available everywhere.” Marianne Williamson .
Acts 8: 23 says 23 "For I perceive that thou art in the agall of bitterness, and in the bbond of iniquity."
Moses 4: 4 And he became aSatan, yea, even the bdevil, the father of all clies, to ddeceive and to blind men, and to lead them ecaptive at his will, even as many as would not fhearken unto my voice.
What a hardened heart has to do with a blind mind."he that will cnot harden his heart, to him is dgiven the greater portion of the word, until it is given unto him to know the mysteries of God until he know them in full.
And they that will harden their hearts, to them is given the lesser aportion of the word until they bknow nothing concerning his mysteries; and then they are taken captive by the devil, and led by his will down to destruction. Now this is what is meant by the cchains of dhell.
Alma 12: 14 14 For our awords will condemn us, yea, all our works will condemn us; we shall not be found spotless; and our thoughts will also condemn us; and in this awful state we shall not dare to look up to our God; and we would fain be glad if we could command the rocks and the bmountains to fall upon us to chide us from his presence.
“Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin” (John 8:34).
Annie's new song comes out March 2024! She wants you to remember you are never stuck and the more you are aware of your internal reward system, the more power you have in making decisions that will lead to habits that will lead to what you want. You can be rewarded for staying in the hard thing instead of giving into instant gratification.

Are you a Dream Waterer or Destroyer? The challenge: For the next 7 days, LISTEN for people sharing their desires, dreams, and wants and see if you can respond to that with an attitude of possibility. That's it!
I firmly believe as humans we have no right to be telling younger people what is and isn't possible. That just is ridiculous. There is no one right order to do things and every human being has the gift of intuition. Let's let people's intuition grow instead of dimming it. Be the person who opens a a new door in someone's brain where there was only a wall.

What is the difference of coming from "yolo" instant gratification, and creating joy in this life. Discipline creates freedom for your future. The goal is not to have free time so you don't have to do anything. Whenever I have prioritized meditating, then I somehow get more time back. Meditating has exponential benefits. She also talks about outcomes and results and what energy is driving the pursuit? Giving Up and Surrendering Are Not The Same Thing. Force vs love.
Here are a few guided meditations Annie likes.

Does Christmas bring up stress? All the decorations, all the parties, all the gifts, all the stuff to do. You can just decide to unsubscribe from the hustle and bustle. You can opt out of the gift frenzy. January will come soon enough. The best gift you can give is your presence. How do you know the balance of not being a scrooge and sending it? Allow yourself to say no to something this year. The BEST gift you can give someone this season!

You don't have to DO anything to recieve guidance. Just ask and listen. In an instant you can know. In this episode, Annie reminds us that we are always being guided and we don't have to earn guidance. What does it feel like to know? Just feel that feeling now. You know.
Live a richer life NOW! A series on experiencing more richness in your day to day. This episode talks about what if the joy you feel is enough? What if you don't have to do anything with it, what if appreciating IS the gift? Tune in for more!
Reinvention, opportunities to see things differently. We are all blessed to have moments where we get a gift of a new perspective.
How to observe the emotional roller coaster rather than being on the emotional roller coaster. Watch the emotions go on the coaster instead of thinking you are the emotion.
Trade expectation for appreciation and your whole life changes in that moment! Blaming the enviornment, others or yourself doesn't change anything. You can change your bluebrint or change something, but don't blame. If you can't be happy in the every day you won't be happy in the majestic. Tony Robbins and oprah quote!

Annie talks about an underutilized power we all have that we don't use deliberately. Visual rehearsal!! Visualy rehearse yourself feeling the way you want to feel, living the way you want to live. This life changing tool is your mind! Annie refers to the book "Your Mind The Magicigian by Allen Rosenthal".
Sick of your own excuses? Try this kinder approach to navigate excuses!!
In my mind there is a few stages of awareness when it comes to excuses. There is first of all straight sincerely believing your excuse, so much so that in no way shape or form do you see it as an excuse. Then something happens or you are forced to face something or you get called out or you hear a story that shifts perspective and you at least own you are making excuses. And then sometimes the stage is not tolerating the excuse and getting mad at it. That is I think the way a lot of “quote disciplined people run. This energy of such hardness .
I once heard someone say they preferred the word devoted to disciplined, but to be used in the same context. For example instead of being so disciplined about writing your novel every day, the you are devoted to the deeper why of why you started.
Then there is this new idea, it’s like a new idea for me. What if instead of a mean coach, it was like the most supportive cheerleader?
Annie talks about
-Celebrating your past victories
- How to know what content to consume
- Intention does not always equal Intention
- How to tap back into childlike Fun
-What does trusting yourself feel like?
-How to navigate your inner critic!

ANNIE'S COURSE: How To Create Your Dream Life https://annie-cowden.mastermind.com/masterminds/26515
"Doubt is an enemy of faith and joy. Just as warm ocean water is the breeding ground for hurricanes, doubt is the breeding ground for spiritual hurricanes. Just as belief is a choice, so is doubt. When we choose to doubt, we choose to be acted upon, yielding power to the adversary, thereby leaving us weak and vulnerable."
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2021/10/55douglas?lang=eng
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AnniesVizion
The first step to anything is awareness. Today Annie leads you through an exercise to become aware of the energy of belief vs the energy of doubt. Think about what you feel like in your. body when doubtful thoughts enter your mind. Now pay attention to how you feel when you believe in yourself! How are you different? This is vital so you can stop letting patterns run your life! SAY: I AM GOING TO CHOOSE TO BELIEVE TODAY!
Faith & Trust and Pixie Dust you guys. What are you putting your trust in? Where are you giving your faith to? The truth is when you feel like you know what you were meant to do, that is from God. Nobody needs to understand of what you felt in your heart to be true for you! You already know!
Do what you need to do to reconnect to your belief!
Results are invisible in the beginning! When you are doing anything different to your normal go to- you are going to feel uncomfortable. Annie talks about planting, cultivating, and harvesting. Time is your best friend or your enemy. The compound affect is always at play whether you ignore it or not.
Annie talks about her thought process of "Annie's common sense mechanism". The way you do one thing is the way you do anything. Annie explains the same thought process she uses for recording her podcast, auditioning, moving, making a music video, deciding what voice teacher to work with, deciding what to invest in, etc.
IF IT COULD BE DONE ANY WAY, HOW WOULD YOU DO IT
Takeaways:
1. Your desires are your safe guidance.
2. Less forcing
3. Stop trying to make your way look like someone else's way.
4. Do what YOU want.
5. Continue to follow the magic- the magic is what is fun.

-What environments and places make you feel the most happy?-How were you feeling, what were you thinking, why did you feel that way?
-What are the things that after you do those things you feel happy, refreshed, clear brain, hopeful and believing?

When you tell yourself you should start going on walks, what are you really saying? What one kind behavior can you do for yourself? How long will you continue to say you 'should' do something?
Inviting the Magic 101! It's fun to talk about magic and stuff, but there are some essential foundational habits that are non negotiable that we need to be on the same page about before we can go any deeper.

This episode in the Disney Desk series is all about my favorite resort...THE POLYNESIAN at Walt Disney World! I can't say enough love about this resort...tune in and enjoy! Aloha!
You have a divine dream from God, and that desire IS your answer. You don't need to ask other people what they think. You originally wanted to trust yourself, so trust yourself.
You feel stuck ?Do you feel like your affirmations don't really work? Maybe you aren't being consistent enough about it? Here are the 7 tips I expand on in this episode:
- Be obsessive about them
- Be in a peak physical state when you do them
- Say them in the mirror
- Say it loud
- Repeat it every time you are in your car alone
- Write a counter acting statement
- Make the negative thought look stupid
What is your 100% heart filled truth moment? What makes you say THAT'S IT THAT IS MY CALLING"! This is what we are going to decide to go all in on!! Decide that you are the type of person who goes 100%.
Are you a worrier? It IS possible to change! Listen to this true/false assessment to see if you are a worry wart! Worrying is driven by "what if thinking". Concern is fact based. How can you change from worry to concern? Here is a question to ask yourself when you feel anxiety- "Is this thought serving me or hurting me?"

Who told you you were better for keeping things simple? YOU are the creator of your life!! You have permission to SAY what you want. What would you do if you loved yourself more? What would you do if you had 3 months to achieve a goal? What would you do if you believed the purpose of your life was to enjoy?
REPEAT: I am willing to try a new way of being!
Stop saying you are not a lucky person.
You don't have to get permission from ANYONE. You are literally the only you- you DON'T have to copy anyone else. Don't not put your work out there because you don't think it's good enough!
-Just say yes. If you get an opportunity to learn from someone, say yes. NO EXCUSES.
-Ask yourself what's the worst that can happen!
-You can't ever have a second painting if you don't have a first.
The POWERFUL lesson the quarantine has taught me...feeling thankful I always had this deep knowing- that NOW IS ALL THERE REALLY IS. We think we have control but there is very little we have control over...I am sure glad I went to Asia last year even though it was a "bad time"!
Get ready to meet YOURSELF!! and am surprised at how little people are able to answer! No shame though, just means you need to take some time to answer them. Don't skip any, answer them!! You will feel very enlightened if you do so.
What triggers you? Who are you jealous of? What do you day dream about? What websites

Today Matters
This is the thought that will determine your progression and success in any area.
“Once doesn’t hurt”. You can use it to be on your side o against you.
If you believe that reading for 10 minutes a day isn’t going make a difference, why would you do it.
If you constantly justify behavior, you are not going to reach the level you want.
The person ahead of you is where they are because they DID practice.
The basketball player didn’t not go to practice because it was snowing and he deserved staying inside.
Cause there will always be an excuse.
If you are diligent, you are planting seeds. Each time you go, you are watering the seed.
Each time you don't you are killing it.
Not going to dance class is starving my dream.
Ignoring my intuition is killing my dream.
Staying in your comfort zone is killing your dream.
Always waiting for the right time is MURDERING your dream.
You see, it isn't even about grinding as much as it is diligence and consistency.
Its not about 2 hours of studying every morning, maybe its cobtinuos 20 minuyres intentional reading.
Over a few months you will see benefits.
Diligence and Consistency is the actual ingredient to fulfillment and success.
Same with relationships- keeping in touch every day no excuses even when things are boring, is how you will develop depth.
Little things make big things
Doing my voice excesses every day is why i am where i am.
Doing 20 pushups every

Biggest lessons in 2019!
In this episode-learn how to ask your heart what it wants. Listening to your soul is a daily practice!
-You are meant to manifest your dreams easily
-Ask your heart before you ask google or someone else for advice
-Embrace and LOVE the unknown-you're not supposed to know what everything looks like!
Feel awakened and refreshed with a new spin on the word FAILURE. Failure isn't something you can bypass, but how you look at failure can change your life.
- My hope is to change the way you feel when you hear the word “failure”
- Constantly be learning
- The more that something doesn’t go the way you planned it, the faster you are
- I want you to know that everything in your reality right now, your work, your school, your campus, you apartment complex or your home, your car or your train are in your life because SOMEBODY had a vision, an idea, and then they created it.
- I want you to know that you get to run in that race because somebody wanted to put on a community event and they worked hard at it, and spent a lot of time and energy making it come to existence
- “If Walt Disney could not envision something that wasn’t there physically, if he couldn’t see that, if he never wrote it down, I wouldn’t be interning at Disney World”.
- I want you to know this. Because silly KNOWING this will give you power. If you know right now, that when you get close to doing something, there is a part inside of you that will do EVERYTHING IT CAN to get you to procrastinate or not do it.
- The closer something is, the more “fear” will pay you a visit. But what is that fear? It’s a thought that enters your mind!!
- So if application season comes up, if you know right now that the closer it gets to the deadline, be watchful of how you resist taking action. Practicing. Writing the essays. Whatever it is.
- Think of somebody you admire, who is in a relationship you admire.
- Now maybe think of someone running a business the way you want to run a business.
- Now think of someone who has a personal goal that you would, maybe it is there confidence, or their athletic habit, or their job, or the way they show up.
- Are they on a pedestal in your mind?
- Are you letting yourself off the hook by giving them special powers?
The Number One Thing To Start Doing to Change Your Life
-It’s About Intentionality.
-It’s About recognizing that what you have seen isn’t the way things have to be
-The Habits I’m About to Tell You About Are the Ingredients to Changing Your Life
-I Know That You Know “Greatness is just a bunch of little things done over and over”
-If you are looking at social media, texting, or your email right when you wake up, please see how this is not helping you. Please see why it matters.
-If you spend 10 minutes scrolling in the morning, that’s 70 minutes a week.
-You can already imagine how much further you could be in a book if you read for an extra hour a week. (10 min a morning)
-More importantly though, how is that taking care of yourself, energetically?
-Guys, if you don’t understand the concept of spiritual nourishment, imagine if you just fed yourself and drank water like 1-3 times a week! Your organs, hormones, muscles, would be getting NOT WHAT THEY NEED TO OPERATE.
-This might sound like a physical analogy, but it applies to your spirit. If you poured orange juice into your car, would it work? To be perfectly honest I don’t know the answer. I don’t know if it would work until it ran out, or if it would break on the spot, or run for a mile and then break…I don’t know! But I know if you put orange juice in the tank every time you became empty, it eventually would stop working.
-“BUT YOU WERE FILLING IT UP!” Right, but that’s not the nourishment it needs.
-You can be full, and die of starvation.
-What this means spiritually is that you must start saying no. You must start saying, no I am not going to go there, do that, watch that, listen to that, because my mind has been racing non stop and I am craving stillness.
-Pro Tip- Seek stillness before you think you need stillness.
-Your body, your intuition, God, your concious, jimmy cricket, angels-are ALWAYS TALKING TO YOU. Call it a burning in the heart, a gut knowingness, a prompting, a still small voice…these are all quiet whispering. And so I think nothing should be more of a priority than quiet time.
-Connecting time.
-It’s all that really matters guys! We are going to live FOREVER. But we are only on earth for a short time in the scheme of things. We must remember
what we came here to do.
-The only thing that is really true, is love and peace. Anything that isn’t love is a worry of the world.
-Jesus Christ promises peace, and it can be more simple than we make it. But it’s up to you to invite the peace.
-That is why the way you start your morning is vital.
-What would your life look like in 5 months, if every morning you had just 10 minutes of journaling about the kind of person you wanted to be that day, about your priorities, about what relationships you wanted to focus on that day, about sitting in silence and listening to empowering music or meditating or reading the scriptures.
-Why wouldn’t you connect, when God is literally waiting to talk to you and bless you? He is always reaching out, but we have to pause.
-What if however you were brought up, or whatever you see around you, is just a repeating lifestyle because of habit?
-You can change a habit. Nobody is setting your alarm clock but you. :)
I want you to take time for connecting in the morning because you will begin to see the things you worry about do not matter as much as you thought, and you will begin to remember what is important in life.
Do you realize that when you say “I don’t know” you are reinforcing in your brain, it’s okay to not try something?
You are essentially giving yourself permission to act from fear. But here’s the thing you’re always either acting from an expansive feeling of possibility or an unknown cloud of doubt.
Tell Me What you DON’T want.
What if I said to you, what if I showed you a vision of the future, and you succeeded in what you wanted, and BIGGER.
I woke up and made a decision I was going to make a new music video. You have so much power within you, all you have to do is decide! You have an insane amount of power with your decisions. You can either make excuses or you can make art!In this episode, you get to hear Annie's new recording of a pop remix of Beauty and the Beast! Also learn about
"infinite possibilities can bring out the outcome that is intended! Being attached freezes your desires from infinite possibility." loses Which choice is "sending it"? I ask myself this when I am feeling like backing out of an opportunity. What does send it even mean?
Sending it is about taking the opportunity, living your best life.
When you are open and not attached to the timing and solution you want, you are letting the best outcome occur.
The state of possibility! The unknown is a GOOD THING!

If you are not seeking for the resources you won't find them. Your heart will tell you the next step. Annie reminds you that if you don't seek, you will not find.
Answer these questions when you are paralyzed by fear:
-
What is the worst case scenario?
-
If that scenario happened, what would you do to resolve it?
-
Is it Preventable?
4.When you are an old person, looking back at this moment what would you tell yourself to do?
For more details on this, Watch Tim Ferris explain it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J6jAC6XxAI
Not everybody in the whole world even has dreams as big as yours. Because many people are trying to just survive. They're not trying to sell necklaces on Etsy, they're trying to get a few dollars for 14 hours of work that day. In this episode, wake up to the truth that you have SO MUCH OPPORTUNITY.
My friend in Bali didn't grow up in a country with the belief "you can be whatever you want to be" So why are we sitting here making excuses when we have opportunity all around us.
Do these to Get Better at Hearing Your Intuition
- Write down and pay attention to how you feel after hanging around certain people and consuming media.
- Answer "If I did know, then I would____"
- Answer "What would excite me?
- Nature Therapy
- Mind/Body practices (yoga and tai chi)
More moments of stillness=Key to hearing your heart!
- Auditions are not competition they look out to be
- Your only job is to show up and connect to yourself and the song
- It's not really all about your talent, There are so many uncontrollable factors
- They want to see you as if you were in a show
5.DO NOT LOOK AT THE CASTING TABLE'S EYES while auditioning - Be prepared, but be a human not a robot
- You don't need to be big headed, but be confident
Does it make sense and feel right to you? Do you feel peace and good about it? NOBODY KNOWS HOW YOU FEEL
You know what the pixie dust feels like
You know what you're excited about, and who you can help
It doesn't have to make sense to anybody else.
Think of your favorite things, every thing once didn't exist. Everything was a risk. You are going to choose if you're gonna think it's gonna be extraordinarily hard or if you're gonna do it.
You have the right to say this is the only thing I am accepting! WRITE IT! You have the right to say this is the only way I will accept it. If it takes you three years to get your Etsy shop running...it's gonna happen. You can not not grow if you keep going.
In three years, what would I LOOVVE to be doing. If I was 26 doing that thing, then what would I have done at age 23? I would want to say, man I am so glad I followed my heart! I am so glad I took care of myself, I am so glad they took this trip, I am so glad they did all these things so I could have experience and have contrast so I could know with even more clarity on what I do want.
You don't get two rounds of life!
In this episode, Annie shoots some fire! Hot motivation for your life!

In this episode, Annie talks about being deliberate with your time to connect to your magic!
What makes you come alive? What is it that makes you feel connected-do more of THAT. Don't let social media steal your time.
What do you do if you are multipassioante? She talks about how the bad guy doesn't want the hero to have what they want!
In this episode, Annie talks about being free from bondage. Remember who Made you! GOD MADE YOU! Satan is smart and he knows what will make you be more connected to God. He doesn't want you to do those things. You are the star of your movie, God is the director.
Faith and hope are the opposite of fear! Be deliberate in how you are going to connect with your source, and how you will show up in the day.
You have the answers in the compass of your heart. The way that you feel is the truth of who you are. You have wisdom within you.
You have to be prepared that obstacles are going to come when you try to do something good!!!
You don't get time back! NOBODY IS READY!

-Massage is not a luxury
-it is massively beneficial for you mind, body and spirit
-You are nicer after a regular massage
-Affects on your nervous system
-Do you NEED one
-Stop saying you can't afford it
Preparing as if the opportunity is coming is faith. Pure faith. If you're not willing to change your habits and actions now, what makes you think you will change it when the opportunity arises?
Friend, you have to prepare for the opportunity before it is given to you. IT IS FAITH. And it's gonna raise your vibes and make you a match. Don't wait for the competition to start practicing. Practice as if your competition is next month. Train as if your dream role is auditioning next month. What if you KNEW you would make the team, how would you live differently? God's timing is better than your timing. I have never regretted preparing for anything even if I don't make it.
Listen to this episode to get some perspective! In this episode Annie teaches the term "google earth it"! We take things too seriously- Annie makes you re think your fear of "looking stupid" when it comes to being a beginner. Afraid to start a new class because you don't want to look stupid? This episode is for you!
