I'm joining you from the Phoenix airport on the way home from our Timeless Evolution Tour. (Yes, I am receiving a mud mask!)

Even though I'm in the middle of a big travel day, I wanted to show up for you. As women, we often time makes excuses for why we can't show up. This gets in the way of receiving our desires.

One of the things we do as women is that we say this to ourselves , "I can't do (blank) because I'm not (blank)" (organized enough, rich enough, powerful enough, thin enough -- you can fill in the blank).

How many times have you found yourself moving in the direction you want to go and then catch yourself saying "I'm not (blank) enough?" We let that stop us, and we use this as an excuse to not receive what we really want in life.

So today, I want you to choose the thing you really want. Maybe it's the relationship. Maybe it's a certain amount of money. Maybe it's a client.

1) Make a list of everything you are really desiring.

2) I want you to make a list of all the reasons why you're not (blank) enough. List all the excuses that come to mind (Example: I'm not rich enough, I'm not pretty enough).

3) Then, go back through it, and write down the exact opposite. Say what you really want is the relationship, but you find yourself saying I'm not pretty enough." Write down the opposite (Example: "I'm not ugly enough." or "I'm not poor enough)."

Again, write down the exact opposite of your excuse. You're going to start to change what you've been holding onto into your mind. This process will help clear the energy and help you realize you are ready.

You absolutely have everything you require to step into what you desire.

Leave me a comment: What are some of your excuses for not stepping into your desires? And what are you really ready to receive?

I'm going to go wash my face now!

I am at the top of a mountain in the French Alps. It feels amazing!

You know those days when you would rather just stay in bed? When my husband asked me if I wanted to go skiing this morning, I was still in my pajamas and to be honest, I sort of wanted to just go back to bed.

So how do we give ourselves permission to keep moving, get out of the house, or do something spontaneous? How to we give ourselves permission to experience how we want to feel?

This is what I do: I feel into what it will be like after I've created movement. How am I going to feel after I've spent a day skiing in the sun with my kids? How will I feel after I go an event? How will I feel after I go to yoga?

Focus on the feeling of how you will feel will experience when you have created movement and motivation. That will gift you the motivation to get out of the house and into the experience. Don't get stuck on how you're feeling trying to prepare for it.

I had also made a promise to my team (and myself) to get this video done in time for the newsletter!

I want to take this time to talk about commitments. Honoring them is one of the biggest things we can do for ourselves as women to move closer to our dreams and desires.

It's one thing to say YES to the outside world, and not follow through. It's a completely different thing when you say yes to yourself, and you don't follow through.

Follow through for me has become one of the most important pieces of building self-trust and self-confidence.

What have you recently committed to? Maybe it's following up with a client, or calling a friend, or taking a walk in the morning. It may seem like a small thing, but it's part of moving closer towards your bigger desires.

When you allow yourself to follow through on what you decide to do, you make a deeper promise to yourself. You will find yourself closer to your big dreams. You find yourself trusting yourself even more. It doesn't have to be perfect, by the way. It's the follow through that really matters.

What is the commitment you are going to make and keep for yourself? (It doesn't have to be a big, huge thing, in fact, you may want to start with something small).

I look forward to hearing from you in the comments below.

I know we talk about living a balanced life. But at the end of last year, I was not feeling balanced at all.

In fact, there were pieces of me that were feeling burnt out and wanted nothing more than go live on a little island somewhere and just chill....

It is the beginning of a new year or a new quarter. You are going on a trip, or it is simply Monday. It does not matter the specific reason. You have just got the urge to start planning.

So where do you start? Get the calendar out and go......

You know as a woman that when you step into your desires you become more visible.

When you receive your desires, you may also experience fear and doubt as well. But, this is where it gets beautiful -- this is you opening up even further into your truth and desires.

I have a personal message I want to share with you today, something really special that's been happening behind the scenes.

Before I get there, let me talk to you a little bit about dreams and desires. (Yes, you know how much I love this topic!)

Watch Video:

One of the main objections we have as women is that we think we can't step into our dreams and desires until everyone around us is OK and taken care of. We say, "Oh no... I have my kids, my husband, my job... I can't live my desires right now!" We put off our desires until everyone else is "OK."

But, guess what? That's not true. In my experience, when I step into my desire as a woman, I gift the people around me that I love the opportunity to step into their desires too.

One of the things I get asked a lot is, "Well, Tara, I know you're living your desires... But what about your husband Dave? I know you are stepping into your desires, living your life, but what about Dave's desires?"

So today, I have a surprise guest... and he has something very special to share with you today about his process of stepping into his own desires.

Yes, he's about to embark on his own incredible journey, and I'm going to let him share with you in this video what that is.

I'll let Dave tell you from himself how this opened up and came together and why this is so important for all of us.

I want you to know when you step into your desires as a woman, you don't stop those you love from stepping into theirs -- you inspire them to step into theirs.

I want you to discover with me how to do this for yourself how to live your desires to the fullest.

Good morning. I'm here with you from my ranch in New Mexico watching the sunrise. I wanted to talk to you about living your truth. As a woman, it is so important that you give yourself permission to live your truth.

Watch Video: How to Live Your Truth

It might seem simple, but when you live your truth you keep your commitment to yourself. When you keep your commitment to yourself -- that is when you live your truth without judging yourself or asking permission from others.

I said to myself last night that I really wanted to wake up early and watch the sunrise. Then this morning we set the clocks back. I wanted to sleep in, but I knew in my heart I wanted to honor my truth and wake up and watch this beauty unfold.

Sometimes when we think about living our truth we think about it as an enormous commitment, but I want to tell you that you can begin to live your truth, every day, by keeping even the small commitments you make to yourself.

That is why I got up this morning to watch the sunrise. This is part of living my truth and my beauty as a woman. Isn't it beautiful?

What small commitments can you keep today that will further help you live in your truth?
And enjoy the sunrise.

How are you going to choose to live your truth today? I look forward to your comment below.

Choosing a mentor is a critical part of stepping into the next level of your life. So how do you avoid the top three mistakes when choosing a mentor?

Watch video: Three Mistakes When Choosing A Mentor

Mentorship is an important step in growing into the next level of your life. When you have someone guiding you and holding you accountable towards stepping into your dreams, so much can happen for you. It's important to understand how to step into a mentor relationship.

Here are the top three mistakes women make when choosing a mentor.

1) You think your mentor can fix everything. A lot of people will want the mentor to fix everything and want them to make everything happen. When you start working with a mentor, you need to take responsibilities for your success and your results. This is an opportunity for you to increase your self-worth and self-confidence.

2) You choose a mentor based on the results but not how the results were achieved. Remember to ask the how. How did they achieve this result? How did they do it? Remember the lifestyle they also achieved. Did they get to where they are in a way that is congruent to the truth of where you also want to go?

3) You choose a mentor that feels overly comfortable. Yes, it's important that you choose a mentor that feels good and comfortable but you also want to work with someone that stretches and challenges you and assists you in growing. This also goes for the level of investment. Choosing a mentor that is really easy to afford, you're not stretching. If you're wanting new results this also might require you to grow your level of investment.

Choosing a mentor should feel a little uncomfortable. It should make you a little bit nervous. It should feel a little bit bigger than where you already are!

I want you to step into your mentor relationship that you require so you can have the results you have so been desiring.

I want you to leave a comment below. How has mentorship affected your life?

Have you ever been criticized? Here's what to do when it happens...

WATCH: How To Deal With Criticism

So I want you to know two things today:

1.) When you're dealing with criticism, know that it is part of the journey of success.

2.) When you support another woman's success out of freedom and love, you open up to a new level of success for yourself.

How To Deal With Criticism - Action step:

Think of a time in your life when you were criticized. Revisit the moment and instead of feeling the fear, feel compassion for the other person. See their desire to succeed and with a deep breath, let it go.

Think of something in your life that you really desire to experience -- maybe it is speaking on stage, writing a book or being in a television series -- and imagine yourself receiving wishes of success from all the women in your life.

If you really want to experience your desires, I invite you to email, call or write a woman that is having the success that you desire and offer her praise, tell her she is doing a wonderful job and that she is inspiring you to do the same.

This action step will help you to stop comparing yourself to others.

I trust you will now have confidence on how to deal with criticism.
