In order to get to your correct switch we need to adventure through some doors first. Once we’ve made it through, that switch will be ready for you and you will also be ready to turn on your most confident, full self to the world. You can do this step by step or jump around, just don’t forget to recognize the switch when it shows up.

Bring your dreams to reality.

Before you make your next move, breathe in what is right in front of you. This is a more fluid reality than we think.

It’s time.

Zoom out. See your character from above. See the building. See the city. See the world.

Zoom in.

Feel your role. You are the only one who can do this right now.

Breathe.

Focus inward to the core, to your belly.

Breathe from below.

Smile because you’re already doing it.

Yup! You’re already rockin it!

Create your space,

And set your pace.

Don’t take cues from the audience, yet.

Remember you bring out the light in them, not the other way around.

Groove with yourself.

Groove with the band.

Then groove with audience. They are looking to you.

If you’re not in your full power starting out, know that you will be soon.

You are bold and you will be encouraged.

Start by encouraging yourself.

Breathe.

Flip the Switch.
