It's that time of year...it's the holiday season! The fun has begun. The to-do list is getting checked off. The socializing is in full swing. The holidays can be a ton of fun but they can also be stressful which is why it is so important to create a peaceful and nourishing energy in your home during the holidays! When you begin to add in decorations, the energy in your home shifts and not always i...

I was listening to Ed Mylett's podcast with Matthew Hussey this morning while I was finishing my workout at the gym and near the very end, Matthew got even more animated about something he was talking about and Ed pointed out that he was really passionate about that particular topic.  It was true. You could hear it in his voice. You could feel his energy shift even in the audio, you didn't need to...

There have been many times in my life where I don't totally know how I'm going to get to where I want to be. I'm clear on the end goal but I'm not certain of the path to reach it. I know that you've likely felt the same at some point in your life. Maybe life has thrown you a curveball. Maybe because of something that you've learned or experienced, what you want has changed. Perhaps what was once s...

We wait.  We wait to celebrate and to enjoy the moment when we've hit the goal, accomplished the desire and attained the dream but that moment is fleeting when you compare it to the journey to get there.  This is why you must celebrate it along the way. Find joy in the good parts and gifts in the harder ones. The journey is the real lesson, where your true power comes from and what life is about....

I am always looking for ways to increase my personal energy: mentally, physically and spiritually. That is why I Feng Shui my home, do yoga, walk, am back at the gym, meditate, read and use Ho'oponopono every single day.  I have also found though that there is ONE THING that you can do consistently that aligns with the call of your soul, makes you mentally stronger because it boosts your confidenc...

I have worked very hard over the last few years to stay intentionally present while taking action to create more of what I want.  But, the other day, a feeling of frustration just wouldn't go away.  There was a lot of things that I was frustrated about (listen in to find out what they were) but it wasn't until the next day that I realized what I was truly feeling frustration about.  It wasn't abou...

This will change how you live, how you view things and how you see things.  What you give power has power.  Nothing has power over you. You choose for it to have power or not.  What you focus on most is so important. You will either gain power or leak power. So, what are you giving power to in your life? Is it the stuff you want or don't want?  If you aren't happy with something in your life, you...

You need a plan.  If you want to create something new, something different or change something in your life, you need a plan. It's not enough to dream it. It's not enough to write it down. It's not enough to repeat it daily as an affirmation.  You need a plan to make it happen. This goes for anything in your life. Listen in to find out how I made a plan for my business for the next couple of month...

  Why is this happening to me? Why did I create this in my life?  When you are focused on personal development, you feel the need to assess and analyze every situation you find yourself in and find a reason for why you are experiencing it.  The two questions above tend to hold you back more than they move you forward though. They bring fear, judgement, blame and unnecessary grief into your psyche....

You have to ask.  It can be hard to ask. You don't want to look like you don't know, you don't want to offend someone and you don't want to be turned down.  It's hard to ask.  But, it is actually harder not too.  If you don't ask, you will never know. If you don't ask, you won't be able to move forward. If you don't ask, the next opportunity may not show up.  In this episode, I share how I got ver...

  Right now. This is the time. This is the only time you have. And it is the right time. It is very rarely the wrong time. We make it the wrong time because of our thoughts and emotions about trying something new, stepping outside of our comfort zone or doing something hard.  The fear, the resistance and the discomfort will not go away when it is the "right time". They will go away because you tak...

Something has happened in your life. It might be the loss of someone you love, your job, your health or your relationship. You are grieving, questioning everything and wondering how you will continue on.  You need to choose.  You need to choose to live. You need to choose to keep going. You need to choose to create meaning again.  In this episode, Jill share's her story of loss when her baby died,...

You need to believe... You need to believe that good things will happen.  You have to believe that good will come to you.  And you need to do this when life is hard, when things don't seem to be working and when nothing seems to be right.  If you expect good things to happen, they will.  I share a personal story of how I did this and what happened. Listen in to find out how to do this more in your...

Keep the simple things simple.  Lots of things in life are complicated enough and so when something is simple, be sure to not waste your time, energy and effort on it. Save that energy for something that really requires it.  Listen in for more on why we need to keep simple things simple and not to overcomplicate it. Be sure to subscribe so that you can always hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episo...

  I know that sometimes, I look around and I'm like "If I just had a sign then I'd know what to do next or what to choose or how to move through this or....". You get the picture. I'm sure you've experienced this too. We do have a sign. Always. Our emotions, how we feel at any given moment, is our sign.   They are an internal guidance signal that reveals to us where our thoughts are actually at. O...

When life is crazy, chaotic, tough, draining...you know, all the things.... This gets me through. It gives me hope. It renews my energy. It reminds me not to be too serious. It keeps me grounded. It fuels me mentally, physically and spiritually. What is it?  The reminder that every day is a new day. That when I get up in the morning, the past doesn't need to define how today goes and that with eac...

Are you really clear on what matters most?  If you are, it should be easy to say no to something that doesn't fulfill your purpose, make one of your dreams or goals come true or align with the call of your soul.  When you are clear, you become super focused, you achieve more and you have more energy because your actions are feeding you not draining you.  So, are you crystal clear on what you want...

STOP scrolling...this is so important. It will change your life. Are you doing this? If you are (and to some degree most of are), it's time to change it.  Are you so busy watching someone else's dreams come true that you don't have time to work on your own?  Are you?  You are if you are scrolling Facebook, watching YouTube videos, can't get enough of Instastories, etc etc.  We are watching other p...

We have ALL done this... We've had something happen in our life that wasn't pleasant, we didn't want it too or we just didn't expect it.  And then we think about it, we obsess over it, we talk about it over and over with anyone who will listen.  Every time we do this, we make the story bigger.  And when we make the story bigger, we continue to make it our current reality, bring it into the present...

Everything is changeable.  No matter how dire the situation, no matter how stuck you feel, no matter how deep you are in it...you CAN change it.  All you have to do is choose.  Choose to change how you look at it. Choose to change what you are doing and what your next step is. Choose to take back control of your life and create what it is you want most.  You can change it. You just have to be will...

This is such an important reminder if you are going through something hard in your life right now like a health crisis, a financial issue, a relationship problem or things just aren't flowing your way. Broken things heal stronger. In this episode, I share an ancient art that the Japanese use to make things that are broken more valuable. You may not be able to see it right now but when you look bac...

  We are trained to look at what isn't working in our lives. This could be what we don't like about our body, what we don't love about our work, what our partner is or isn't doing. Our brain is wired to look for the "bad" stuff.  We HAVE TO CHANGE this. When you make the shift from looking for the "bad" stuff in a situation to finding the good, the way you experience life changes.  How you feel sh...

It all matters. Every single step. The big leaps. The smallest movement forward. Every step counts.  It is the way towards creating more of what you want in your life. Every step gets you closer to your dreams, desires and goals. Sometimes you will side step or take a few steps back but the only way to achieve the life you desire most is to keep moving forward one small (or big step) at a time. Th...

There is so much focus on finding yourself right now in the personal development space but I heard something the other day that is so much more true for me. And while it's something that I always talk about, I hadn't really heard it in this way before and I wanted to share it with you. The thought stuck with because it is so very true. It was... Life isn't about finding yourself, it is about creat...

How does the thought of the dream unfulfilled make you feel?  Your answer to this question matters in a big way. It affects what you are going to choose to do next in your life.  Depending on how you feel when you think about a dream of yours not coming true will impact whether you need to reevaluate what your dream is or if you need to take the next steps to make it happen.  Listen in for more ab...
