The Wisdom of the Sticky Note
The Wisdom of the Sticky Note is a book of quotes and reflections designed to help you develop self trust by questioning the fear and negative thinking that’s keeping you stuck. Whether it’s the fear that arises when you’re deciding to make a change, or the negative thinking that creeps in when an obstacle comes up, your brain is made to "protect" you and keep you safe. It doesn’t want to be bothered by doing something new or different. Not very practical.
The purpose of this unique self-help book is to demonstrate how you can shift your mindset, one sticky note at a time. What if you challenged yourself to question the fear that comes up in life when you’re deciding to make a change? By challenging your fear and negative mindset, you can reawaken the inner voice that has always been there AND learn to trust it again.
“You’re Stuck...Now What”
When you’re feeling stuck, the last thing you want to do is read an entire book to get some movement. You can exhale now…this is not that type of book. Divided into four sections: Clarity, Fear, Habits, and Mindset, this book has thought-provoking messages that may be just enough to get you moving forward again.
This book was written to get you unstuck: in bite-sized pieces; with some quotes and notes to provoke your thinking.
Big or small… the magnitude of what’s keeping you stuck doesn’t really matter, the way to get moving is the same. You need to shift your attention elsewhere, get a change in perspective and then go back to that thing and notice what’s different… because it will be different. Once you have shifted your attention and added a new perspective you cannot see things the same way.
“The Confidence Recipe”
This book is an interactive tool that helps you to figure out your pain point. The thing that’s holding you back from being the most confident version of yourself. Whether it’s self-doubt, imposter syndrome, people pleasing or no boundaries…no matter what the “symptom” is…it’s the thing that’s keeping you from showing up with confidence. This book is an opportunity for self discovery, to explore and journal to uncover your current default settings, explore and reflect.
Bit by bit, with tiny steps and some practice, you will reconnect to your confidence. Yes…reconnect. You were born confident, everyone is. Through time, conditioning, influence, life…all of it…you’ve lost track of your confidence AND it’s there. Promise.
Commit to yourself…you deserve to feel confident.
“You wouldn’t be here if you hadn’t been there.”
This is Ann’s fourth “self-help” book where she invites the reader to take the time to explore and reflect. To process a life experience and get to the other side. To recognize that everything is a part of your path. Everything.
Tipping Points: How do you know when enough is enough? Learn to recognize the signs. When the cost is more than it’s worth. Making the choice to make a change. You’ll get familiar with recognizing the signs of when things are “off” before they escalate.
Perspectives and Insights: What the rearview mirror can teach you. There’s no point in going through a change if you don’t get the learning from it. This is a chance to reflect and learn.
The In-between: The sacred, uncomfortable, space between what was and what’s next. The threshold. It’s easy to brush this one off, to rush through it, and there’s so much value in spending the time you need here. To sit in the in-between before rushing to what’s next.
Moving forward: One slow, deliberate step at a time. Eventually you need to move forward. It’s recognizing that you don’t require a fully formed plan to do this. You need a good solid first step.
This pattern always seems to apply, regardless of the situation. This cycle never ends. It’s learning to recognize it earlier. Learn the lessons more quickly. Until the next time. Yes, next time, because life is about learning and growing.
