Be A Willow


BE A WILLOW

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed or wobbly right now?  

If you can, take a moment and close your eyes. Imagine you’re in a beautiful field filled with sunshine, blue sky, fluffy clouds, and a light warm summer breeze on your skin. Imagine the sound of rustling leaves as you come back to yourself. Come back to the place of inner stillness and peace. Listen to the wind blowing lightly around you as you feel into your centre. The sturdy and untouchable place that exists no matter what is going on around you!

Today I am invite you to embody the Willow. Allow the winds of life to blow through you rather than knock you off your center. Feel into the sturdiness of the earth as you move with life. Feel the sun on your face as you reach toward the light. 

Wishing you peace and inner sunshine!⠀

Xj, Jillian

LImitless Opportunities

As a multi-passionate entrepreneur with a loooooong list of creative career & life experiences, I’m here to tell you that no matter where you are, it’s never too late to follow your heart. 

I started University at 21.

I became a hairstylist at 27.

I went to design school at 33.

I started my coaching career when I was 40.

Who knows where I’ll  be at 50, 60, 70…90…

Wherever I am, I guarantee I’ll be learning something new. Because what are we even doing if not shifting, growing and expanding? Each new day is an opportunity to bring something new to the world.

The sky is the limit! 

Every moment is a new opportunity to show up more fully you, and live (and share) your Joy. You are limitless potential! Just a short and sweet reminder that you are not behind. You are exactly on time with limitless opportunities ahead of you. 

If you could release the expectations of time and allow your heart to speak to you, what would it say? Where would it take you? 

Now is the time to listen!

INvite in Love & Compassion

I thought perhaps you could use a reminder to send loving kindness to yourself today. 

You are doing the best you can. Whether or not you want to be better at whatever it is your should-ing yourself for…

Can you give yourself the room to be today? To be wherever you are, doing whatever you are doing with out judgement or criticism. Treat yourself with tenderness. Place hand to heart and breathe love into your heart. For yourself. 

No matter what you have or haven’t done, you deserve it. 

Have a beautiful day inviting it all in.

Xj, Jillian

Surrender To Life


SURRENDER TO LIFE

Yesterday I admitted defeat. A group call I was on crashed for the second time this week. I recorded it again to find out it didn’t save anywhere. I was going to re-record it but I knew, based on my energy, that as much as I wanted to show up for others, I needed to show up for myself. And so instead of recording again, I told the truth, honoured my heart and body and got some much-needed rest. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣Sometimes showing up means being honest about not showing up!⁣⁣

If you feel like you’re falling apart while trying to keep everything together, can you take some time (even just 5 mins) to objectively look at your plate and everything on it? Ask yourself how you feel about each task, commitment, agreement. ⁣If you are feeling anxious, stressed out or overwhelmed, it’s typically a sign that you are out of alignment. Our emotions are our guides!⁣⁣

⁣⁣No one expects you to do it all. No one expects you to be perfect. No one needs you to prove anything. 

The world wants you to feel as good as possible.⁣

If you are doing things at the expense of yourself, your loved ones or the things that truly matter to you, this is a sign. You don’t have to live like this. The world won’t end if you admit you can’t do it all. In fact, quite the opposite!⁣ Holding yourself hostage with “shoulds” and overwhelming to-do’s allows the ego to keep its fear-based claws in us. We’ve all been there and will likely be there again. Because Joy is a practice.⁣⁣ Feeling good takes practice!

⁣My question to you is, are you ready to start practicing? Are you ready to start honouring yourself and move toward how you want to feel and what you actually want to experience? If so, ask yourself honestly what you can gracefully release, decline, or renegotiate today. Take inspired action and make the call or send the email. Let me know how you feel after! ⁣⁣

⁣Surrendering to life on life’s terms is an incredibly freeing thing. The more honest and genuine we are about where we’re at and how we’re feeling, the more we give others permission to do the same. Isn’t that a wonderful motivator? Giving each other permission to honour ourselves? Have the best day being beautiful you.

So much love to you beautiful friend,

Xj, Jillian

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM JILLIAN SCHECHER-JSS_2406 copy

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


As we near the end of 2019, may we take the time to reflect on the good, the bad and the OFG's (Opportunities For Growth) ...


I don't know about you but I LOVE the time between Christmas and New Year's when you lose track of time and have the space to reflect and dream...


For the past several years I have been making lists of lessons in order to set future Jillian up for success.


With my Joy-coaching clients and in all of my programs I encourage doing an OFG review regularly.

Journaling the takeaways from life's lessons is helpful for feeling like you're walking away with golden nuggets rather than just bumps + bruises. 

Journaling the takeaways from life's lessons is helpful for feeling like you're walking away with golden nuggets rather than just bumps + bruises. 


This year I thought it would be nice to share my lessons should they be helpful anyone who needs to hear them. Below are the best ones I'm taking from 2019:


  • Put your own energy first. This goes along with the whole oxygen mask/airplane metaphor which never gets old. For me at least.
  • Plan + schedule everything. Every single thing on your plate. Including non-negotiable Joy time!
  • Always use agreements + follow systems. They are there for a reason. Every time anything has gone sideways it has been when I sidestep systems that I've implemented for a reason.
  • Know and understand your numbers. I'm over experiencing feast + famine in my business. It's time for energized + Joyful inner and outer wealth!
  • Nurture your people. Quit looking ahead and focus on all of the people currently in your life. Pay attention to them. Hear them. See them. Give them as much as you can.
  • Schedule based on energy rather than time. ( A lesson I continue to relearn.)
  • Be more like Lily. For so many reasons! Live. Love. Play. Cuddle. On repeat.
  • Mind your own alignment. I  believe this is all we truly need to focus on. In alignment we have the ability to show up in love with love. 
  • Use Sacred Discipline. I came up with this term in my 6 month EXPANSION program. This is how we take inspired action and stay in alignment!
  • Joyful morning and evening routines are non-negotiable. See Sacred Discipline.
  • Joy is my currency. Dream more + get excited! 
  • Stop having sales. Share the value in your offerings instead. You are worth every penny + more!
  • Learn the programs that stress you out so you feel empowered. I'm talking about you Infusionsoft. 
  • Remember your why. Review it daily!
  • Schedule in celebrations. 
  • Schedule in stillness after celebrations;)
  • Block off 2 days a week for inspired work. No meetings. No outings. Pants + showers are optional. Hello entrepreneurial perk!
  • Ask for help silly! You don't have to do it all alone. There are people who are happy to support you.
  • Surrender! Let go of the illusion that you know best. Trust you are being supported and guided. You don't always need to know what this looks like.  
  • Have FUN! It's always best to choose the fun thing. Particularly when feeling blocked or negative. 
  • Get excited about contrast. It gives you the opportunity to re-desire!
JILLIAN SCHECHER JOY + MINDFULNESS COACH
  • Always start with boundaries. Set them right away and things will be better for everyone.
  • Protect your energy by honouring and cleansing it.
  • Book moon-time in your schedule. Honour it. 
  • Let go of perfection. We are human for a reason. Learn baby learn!
  • When you know it, do it. Don't put off the conversation, email or phone call. Tackle uncomfortable things head on. Also, tell others the nice things you're thinking about them. 
  • Avoid drama + gossip and encourage people to speak to the source. We are all just doing our best.
  • What you notice in others is a reflection of you, whether "good" or "bad". 
  • You are nature. Spend more time in it for goodness sake!
  • Believe the best in people. You will feel less like an asshole later. 
  • Don't take things personally! It's very rarely about you.
  • Don't rush the process. If it compromises Joy, don't do it.
  • Purposefully place your f*cks. 

Last but not least, you don't need to be, do or have anything else to matter and make an incredible impact on the world. You simply need to show up and shine your light in the way that only you can. 


Remember who you really are. Light, peace, love, JOY.


There you have it, the best lessons I'm taking from 2019. I can't wait to see what 2020 brings.


I encourage you to take some time to review your OFG's from 2019 and make note of the lessons. Your future self will thank you! 


If you're feeling ready to become the deliberate designer of a life you're excited about, check out my Joy-based services + offerings. I'd love to support you in befriending yourself, aligning with Joy and living your best friggin' life! 


Wishing you an abundant +  Joyful New Year! 

Xj, Jillian

More BE-ing.

Hi!
I’m Jillian

I would love to support you in reclaiming Joy in your work, life and play so you can wake up to a life you freaking love!

MORE BE-ING


Do you ever feel like this?


How good would it feel to create space for ourselves to be wherever we are?


Whether you’re tired, happy, restful, sad, lonely, angry, hopeful, annoyed, frustrated, content, playful, anxious, or just feeling meh....can you give yourself permission to feel any and all of it? 


With self compassion and care, can you allow yourself to breathe more fully so that you can move through life with less resistance and more ease?

Sometimes I pause and realize that I’m pushing. Hard.


That I’m constantly reaching to know better, be better, do better. Like I’m always striving.


I’ve been feeling frustrated with myself lately, but I know this is not helpful for anyone, especially me.  Rather than forcing myself to be somewhere else, I’ve been trying to let myself be where I am.

By allowing ourselves to flow with life we begin to deepen our relationship with it.text here...

 To embrace whatever season I’m in. To embrace a slower pace and allow the possibilities to show themselves. More creativity and opportunity.

 Feel Better Now


If you’re also feeling frustrated with where you are, or what you’re feeling, remember that the seasons change, and by allowing ourselves to flow with life we can begin to deepen our relationship with it. 

 

​​Have the best day being right where you are!

Joyfully,

,Jillian

You are a work of art

Hi!
I’m Jillian

I would love to support you in reclaiming Joy in your work, life and play so you can wake up to a life you freaking love!

YOU ARE A WORK OF ART!


This Week I Was Inspired By You.


By the idea that so many of us believe that we have to be, do, or have something before we can feel good. That somehow everything needs to be perfect for us to appreciate ourselves and our lives.

The truth is that there is magic in every single moment. That magic is you my friend.

Grab this free guide + learn 7 ways to get back into alignment and feel better now!

 Feel Better Now


Today I want to remind you that you are a work of art in creation. I want to remind you that your magic exists in every moment. With every breathe there is the opportunity to embrace the possibility that is life. To move with it. To Flow.


What if all you needed to do today was breathe? I invite you to embody this today. To embrace the creative uniqueness that is you. To courageously show up in the magic of each moment with breath.


This is what I wish for you today.


Xj, Jillian

Choose Stillness

Choose Stillness-Jillian Schecher-
Hi!
I’m Jillian

I would love to support you in reclaiming Joy in your work, life and play so you can wake up to a life you freaking love!

CHOOSE STILLNESS


Do you ever find yourself caught up in a web  of drama that you know deep down you could have avoided? Honestly, it happens to the best of us! 


When I feel triggered, I know I have two choices:


1.Choose stillness. Sit with my feelings, do some internal inquiry, feel them and move on.
2.React from a hurt, angry or triggered place.


Which response is the most common for you?
If you’re anything like me, you choose the second option more than you’d care to admit.


I've been trying to slow down my response times and thought it might be helpful to share.


Here's how it works: I evaluate the outcome I want. I ask myself how I am feeling and how I want to feel. I shift my thoughts to better feeling ones. Then I figure out what action will get me closer to how I want to feel.

After many years of getting caught up in Karpman's Triangle of Drama, I can almost guarantee that biting the hook and reacting from a triggered place is not going to get me to where I want to be. The key for me has been action, instead of reaction.


According to Pema Chodron, a feeling only lasts 90 seconds. Our denial, avoidance or attachment to the feeling is what makes it persist and intensify.

Ask the feeling what it’s here to teach or show you. I know this sounds wild you guys, but this sh*t really works!

Grab this free guide + learn 7 ways to get back into alignment and feel better now!

 Feel Better Now


Choose stillness. From this place of non-reaction lives so much opportunity for self-awareness and expansion. I often look to nature for inspiration. What a beautiful example of stillness and surrendering to what is. 

 

​Why not give it a whirl and see how if feels?

Joyfully,

,Jillian
