A quick, empowering way to reclaim your time
Hey Beloved,
You want to know one of the most powerful ways to be more intentional with your precious time and energy? (It’s actually right up there with the #1 Method to Become More Intentional with Your Time!)
Taking positive proactive action.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time worrying about SO. MANY. THINGS. While you’re busy percolating about what already happened or what might happen, you’re…
- Distracted
- Easily annoyed
- Not taking care of your body
- Feeling yucky emotionally
Awesome, right?! 🙄
… and that brings us right to back how essential taking positive proactive action is to be more intentional with our lives.
In a nutshell, positive proactive action all about taking positive proactive steps toward addressing things that are bugging you.
You consciously choose to do ONE thing (or more if you please) that is positive and proactive to respond to your circumstances. Maybe you decide to…
- Talk about it with God – always a winner!
- Journal your thoughts
- Move your body
- Turn off your dang phone
- … and a whole lot more options!
That’s it!
In another post, I’ll share with some really awesome, not-hours-worth-of-work positive proactive action suggestions to help you get unstuck.
In the meantime, I encourage you to think of ONE thing going on in your life that’s stressing you out. What’s ONE positive proactive action you can take to respond? Then do it.
Live intentionally with passion and purpose as God’s beloved!

I’m Cortney, a recovering over-achiever and God’s beloved who loves helping fellow Christian women like you embrace your God-given gifts so you have the confidence to live authentically.
I’m also a full-time mama to two sweet little boys, wife to my best friend, motivational speaker, and part-time Christian life coach. Chai lattes, strong coffee, podcasts, yoga, dance, and fairy tales nourish my soul and add sweetness to life.
Discovering the joy of embracing my God-given gifts and who He created me to be was a game-changer—a journey that brought freedom, unexpected delights, and relief from guilt. Finally, I felt free to be myself and ditch the pressure of being someone I wasn’t.
Incorporating those gifts into my day—from weekly planning to deciding on commitments, nurturing my marriage, and parenting—transformed everything. Now, I can’t imagine life without the perspective of fully embracing who God created me to be. I was missing so much without it!
