Cassandra Cooper's Guide to Finding Your Calm

No matter who you are, or what you do, there will be times where life can get overwhelming.

I created this cheat sheet for myself, to help me find my calm in the midst of my own storm.

I hope these help you. I'd love to hear from you: cass@ovamediagroup.com

With love,

LEVEL 1 — INSTANT CALM (Easiest)

#1
"This too shall pass. I am just having a moment of doubt."
#2
I'm trusting my gut. It's trying to tell me something. Listen.
#3
Those butterflies in your stomach are trying to tell you something.
#4
When I feel anxious about a decision, I remind myself of my why.
#5
Tears are nature's gift to your nervous system. Don't be afraid to cry; let those tears wash away the angst and pain disturbing your peace. Let it go.
#6
Self-doubt and failure are normal occurrences. It's okay to have those moments — cry, pray, meditate.
#7
Look in the mirror daily and tell yourself how beautiful, smart, and amazing you are.
#8
Tell yourself how much you love yourself. This is harder than it seems, but it changes everything.

LEVEL 2 — GROUNDING + SELF-AWARENESS

#9
Discover your why. Disruption means you are going down an uncharted path. Know your why so you can stay on purpose.
#10
Don't ask for permission to be who you are meant to be. Do you. Are you a leader or a follower?
#11
Doing something that's never been done before takes willpower.
#12
Be your own advocate and cheerleader. Many friends and family lack vision — it's not personal.
#13
Look at your friends. Make a list and ask yourself what they bring to your life.
#14
What do you do in your free time that sharpens your skills?

LEVEL 3 — EMPOWERMENT + ACTION

#15
Wear the feeling of success. Go test-drive the car, tour the house, feel your future. Let that feeling motivate you.
#16
Best advice from a mentor: pitch your project like an entitled white man — fearless, deserving, asking for the outrageous with full intention of being told YES. Have the 'virtual balls.'
#17
Vision board: choose deeply specific items — the house address, the exact car, soulmate qualities, the full package.
#18
The HOW is none of your business. State your vision and let the universe deliver. When it happens, it will feel like déjà vu.
#19
Thank the universe daily for putting you exactly where you are and using you to change the world.

LEVEL 4 — SELF-LOVE + IDENTITY TRANSFORMATION

#20
Love the skin you're in. You are unique. Honor your uniqueness and take care of your temple.
#21
No perfect weight — just the best version of you. If you feel unhealthy, find YOUR regimen. Follow instinct, not a scale.
#22
Stand in the mirror and admire your badassery — you must be your own cheerleader. No one else can make you feel great about yourself.
#23
Help your mind/body connection align. No one else can do that work for you.

LEVEL 5 — LIFE PURPOSE + DESTINY WORK (Hardest)

#24
Create your life mission statement.

• List your talents, skills, desires.
• Describe your perfect world.
• Don't judge yourself.
• Write it with pen or pencil — it makes it real.
• Review and revise often.
• Keep it private; this is between you and destiny.
