In Order To Live A Fulfilling, Joyful Life, And Build A Personal Brand, You Must Embrace Your Whole Self. Your Highest And Best Self, Including Your Imperfections. The New Golden Rule

The old golden rule says to treat others the way you want to be treated. Emily says, treat yourself the way you want others to treat you. The new golden rule is a guide to help you embrace your whole self.

The way the new golden rule came about was that Emily was doing so much doing for other people seeking validation and acceptance. She was getting to the goal, but wasn’t satisfied and kept wanting more. Throughout this journey, she was never good enough.

Like many of us, Emily had a lot of noise under the service which seeped out in different ways like overworking, being distracted, her relationship with food.

Being Kind Is Not A One Way Street

Upon this realization, Emily began to ask herself, if we are not kind to ourselves, how can we truly be kind to others?

As Emily began to do the work on herself, her life began to transform. Her relationships became more whole-hearted, she developed friendships with people that she could really see, her relationship with her career became more clear. She discovered that she was really meant to be an entrepreneur. Even her relationship with her partner shifted seismically.

Criticism – You Can’t Embrace Your Whole Self If You Are Constantly Criticizing

When we are critical of ourselves, how can we not be critical of others? Emily admitted she was critical of her husband. The natural next step is to do that to your kids. She began to feel so much shame because the narrative in her head about how and who they should be was weighing her down.

The shift in her life from treating herself the way she wanted others to treat her, inspired her to write The New Golden Rule. She had hit rock bottom to take this work on, and she doesn’t want others to have to experience that.

Do You Have a Story To Share But Don't Know Where to Begin to Write and Publish a Book? How to Begin Writing a Book

Saying that you want to write a book someday is being a waiter, not a writer. The only thing it takes to become a writer is to write. There is not a magic super sauce to writing.

People use many excuses not to write but they all come down to fear. When you face your fear and you just do it and begin writing, you will become a writer. It is about setting an intention, ditching perfectionism, not editing while writing, let it be information bulimia, don't worry about punctuation or grammar. As you go through the process of writing you grow your confidence and become a writer.

Even Stephen King and Jodi Picoult struggle when writing. Imposter syndrome is real for everyone.

Writing a Book is Like Creating a Sculpture

Debby likens the first draft of a book to a sculpture and the way Michaelangelo created it. He started with a block of marble. You begin writing and then your editor will relate to you and your story and be able to help you create a beautiful and impactful book. An editor relationship is a lot like a beloved and trusted mentor or doctor. They are all up in your business and have to approach your book with so much love and tenderness that you are comfortable opening up and sharing with them. One editor may not be right for everyone because of sensibilities, etc.
