Excellence Starts Here: Advice for Living In Your Highest

Excellence isn’t hustle. It’s not perfection. It’s not something you chase. It's something you remember. It’s the truest part of you, the you that already exists beneath the noise, the proving, and the programming. This is an invitation to come home to that version of you. The one who’s done performing and ready to embody.

Let’s begin. Grab a journal, go on a walk, or stare into your coffee, do whatever works best for you.

Define Your Version of Excellence

Get radically honest with yourself: What does excellence actually look like in your life, not what you’ve been taught to believe, not what you see online, but your soul’s definition.

If you were to fully live into your unique vision of excellence, what would shift? How would you act, speak, move through the world? Would your boundaries tighten or soften? Would your pace slow down, your joy become non-negotiable?

Excellence isn’t about doing more—it’s about being more you.

Identify What’s Holding You Back

Time to get radically honest (I mean, that’s what we do here). Ask yourself, “Why does excellence feel like a stretch?" Is it fear of being too much? Fear of being not enough? Maybe it’s old programming, people-pleasing, or imposter syndrome. Name it, claim it, and bring it out into the light. Sometimes just acknowledging it makes it way less scary.

Commit to Making Excellence Your New Baseline

Let excellence be where you begin, not what you scrape together when the stars align. This is not about grinding or proving.

This is about standing rooted in your gifts. Taking your voice seriously. Respecting your own time, your creativity, your knowing. Excellence doesn’t mean being the best. It means being in alignment. From now on, that’s your floor, not your ceiling.

Practice Full Expression

Living in your excellence is going to feel uncomfortable. You’ll want to shrink. You’ll want to dim. Do it anyway. Let yourself be fully seen. Not the polished version, the present one.

Keep showing up in your work, your relationships, your creativity, as your whole self. The more you express your truth, the more you clear the path for others to do the same.
