Being a unicorn is about unleashing your imaginative, creative, fun and silly side that may be tucked away and in hiding. See, we all have unique gifts, which I call your awesome sauce, that we were born with.

Unfortunately, we have been conditioned and raised in a way that really has kept us restricted and forced that side to go into hiding. Well, I say, fuck that shit!!! It’s time to unleash your inner Unicorn.

Not About Being Your Authentic Self

Now let me get this clear. This is not another way of saying “Be your authentic self”…blah blah blah. We are always being our real self!!

We are always operating from a place of doing our best at that time, whether it is fear, ego, vulnerability, pain or joy! That is totally real and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

It is always changing…and that’s a good thing!

Shine bright! Being a unicorn is all about letting your personality shine.🦄 #unicorn

Being a unicorn is all about letting your personality shine. It’s about being clear on the essence of who you are and what you were born to do.

“Always be yourself, unless you can be a unicorn. Then, always be a unicorn.” - Jaime Murray

Now some of you already are badasses and have kick ass personality and kudos to you for that. But let me ask you this,

  • Is it a mirror of what you think people want you to be?
  • Are you using all your talents?
  • Have you found a way to combine your real gifts with your fun side to show up in the world?

What’s my Superpower?

Well, the reality is, most of the world isn’t and I am on a mission to change that.

Two Big Reasons You’re Not Being a Unicorn

The reason why I am so passionate about this is bthatI spent over 10 years training, coaching and developing people and there are 2 things that kept coming up for me. One is that most people hate what they are doing. Second, is that most people have no clue what it is that they actually want to do!

So they stay where they are, trying to fix their weaknesses and wonder why they keep living on autopilot. Well, let me tell you, that sucks! When I spent time with my associates, client, and teams, it became obvious to me.

Very few had a handle on what their true gifts were. So many had amazing talents that were not being utilized. Worst of all, they were in places where they were forced to fix their weaknesses. How sad!

All these unicorns are hidden away doing shit that they hate. Unicorns know that the more time they spend working on their weakness, the more it takes away from them honing in on what they are meant to do. Your soul call. What you were designed to do and do easily!

Unicorns fart rainbows for Pete’s sake!! They are colourful, majestic, magical and most of all, they stand tall in their greatness. The key thing is, they own their magic, their awesome sauce, and their greatness. They know how to shine. They know that in a world of unicorns, that there are other unicorns that shine in ways they don’t and together they stand tall and lift each other up! That is what it means to be a unicorn.

Stop trying to fit in! Be the unicorn you were meant to be. Fart rainbows already!🦄🌈

5 Ways to Discover Your Inner Unicorn

So how does one start to discover your inner unicorn? Here are a few ways.

#1 Unicorns Love to Play

They are not afraid to be silly, have fun and laugh at themselves. A lot of us are so damn serious all the time. Chill the eff out!!! When you allow playfulness into your life, you can start to relax.

Being in a place of play, can really bring forth some clarity. You can start to see things differently. New ideas start to arise and most of all, it takes away some of the fears we have that limit us from taking action! Here are some ways to start adding play into your life.

I want to be a unicorn!

  1. Be a kid again. Pick your favourite board game from when you were young and have a games night!
  2. Watch your fav cartoon or rediscover a past time that you may have totally forgot about. You may start laughing in ways that you forget even existed
  3. If that is too far out of your realm right now, try doodling, drawing, painting and watching funny movies. As long as you can laugh, you are having fun

 

#2 Create Goals that Set Your Soul on Fire

I lived an unconscious lie for years of my life working on goals that I thought I wanted. They were stable, I liked the company, moved me up the ranks, allowed me to buy my first home and my bad ass jeep…JEEP LIFE!

Unfortunately, while on my journey to discovering my inner unicorn, I realized that I was playing it safe. It led me to one of the worst places anyone can be, which is complacency. BLLEHHHH!! Ask yourself this:

  1. On a scale from 1-10, how excited do you get when you think about your goals?
  2. How long have you had it for?

Setting the right goals starts with alignment. They connect to who you really are. Creating aligned goals can be tricky but once you get real honest with yourself, the process is easy! Get your FREE Align Your Goals Workbook here: Aligned Goal Setting Sheet.

#3 Show Up in the World as You Really Want to be Seen

There are many of us that are showing up in a way that we think others want us to behave and don’t even know we are doing it! Yes, we are sometimes blind to it. I know because I have been there. Here are a few steps you for you to connect with.

  1. Write out how you want to be seen or known
  2. Make a list of what your values are
  3. Set one tiny action that you can take to work towards what you wrote in step 1
  4. Don’t beat yourself up over the fact that you may have been pretending is some way. One of the traits of being a badass unicorn is to not make yourself wrong!

It can take some soul searching to really dig deep to get honest with yourself but trust me, it is worth it!

#4 Connect with Your Unique Awesome Sauce

This is your true gifts and talents. This stems from your passions most of the time.  Here are a few things to consider when discovering your gifts.

  1. What do you always gravitate to?
  2. What could you talk about for hours and can’t seem to shut up about?
  3. Ask others what they think you are good at? You may be surprised at what you find out!

I didn’t realize that one of my gifts was coaching and helping others recognize their gifts until my associates kept telling me that I should start charging for my time when I was just helping them out! You all have hidden gifts, trust me. Once you know them, it can help you own your greatness.

#5 Let Your Weirdness Out

We are all weirdos…some secretly and some openly. I will let you in on a little secret…your weirdness is only weird because everyone is hiding it!!

The sad part about this is that most of us were born sharing our gifts and being weird and it stopped when we were young. BOO!!! Why? Well because good old society and our unknowing parents had us conform to being quiet, not be curious and ask questions and most, not all, were made to be wrong when we were just expressing ourselves.

We’re all weirdos! Don’t be afraid to be you. Unicorns don’t apologize for being themselves.

Now before we get into a frenzy about society and blaming our upbringing, let’s focus on the now.

  1. Embrace your uniqueness. Think about the things that make you different whether it be in relationships, business, parenting or just you! Express it in a way that feels good to you such as writing, drawing or speaking
  2. Take a picture of you acting silly….yup, start with some silly filters of you need. Then you can move to a video and then when you are ready… share it on social media! When you do…please tag me as I love to see your unicorns unleashed!

“So you’re a real person! I always thought you were a legendary figure, like unicorns...” - Lemony Snicket

Let’s be honest. Stop acting as you don’t dance around the house to songs that you don’t want to admit that you like, that you need to be serious all the time because you are a parent, that liking unicorns at the age of 35 makes you less competent. As long as it is not destructive to you, other people and your health, LET YOUR WEIRDNESS OUT.

Being a Unicorn Changes Your Life and Business

For those who are still wondering why this matters, well consider this. If you are in any relationship, romantic, friendship, business etc, isn’t it exhausting to have to hold back? Isn’t it tiring to have people in your life that don’t really vibe with you?

Show me my superpower!

When you embrace and unleash your gifts and talents, you will also attract the people who just get you!

Embrace and unleash your gifts and talents and start attracting the people who get you! #unicorn

For those who are entrepreneurs or building a business, this is crucial as this is a mirror of our culture. It is what helps you stay grounded in your ideas. You will never have to second guess your ideas, as you will know who you are at what you stand for. It becomes the vibration of your business and your ideal clients will flock to it.

  1. This- “See, we all have unique gifts, which I call your awesome sauce, that we were born with.’ Was AWESOME. haha. Loved it.

    I am totally tracking here: Getting yourself fired up with goals that light a burning passion inside of you is just about the only thing we can do to improve weaknesses, and to ultimately do the right thing for ourselves and thus the world in general. We cannot give back if we resign ourselves to settling or to always chasing our weaknesses around in circles.

    And being weird in front of people is a new one for me, but my wife and I have named and dedicated our Podcast over being weird and saying goodbye to normal.

    Let’s be unicorns and not some people with flashy cars or rolodexes.

  4. This is sooo fun! Unicorns are all the rage right now, but I like to see it taking on more of a look inside yourself and change your life view, than just another pretty treat. Don’t get me wrong, I like pretty treats, but I’m all about the self work and shining as much as possible. Thanks for a little inspiration today.

  6. I love this! I have locked up my unicorn, but it is time to unleash the unicorn. Lol. I try not to be the weirdo, but you make me feel like it is ok to be weird. Definitely going to go make some silly videos now.

  7. How awesome is this post!!!! I’ve recently started to discover my inner unicorn or my “bold” as like to call it. It’s so freeing!

    P.S. Love the bit about being a kid again. I watch cartoons every Saturday, I am the first in line to see animated movies, and I’m the hypest person at Disney parks or Universal Studios. No shame in my game!!

  8. Jeep wave back! I hate when people don’t Jeep wave. I’m a big fan of laughter. I used to take myself way too seriously. Now as a comedian I’m just the opposite. Everyone needs to laugh. I’m also a fan of rocking your weirdness. Once you let your guard down and stopping hiding what you think is weird about you, you’ll see that others have the same weirdness.

  9. I LOVE this post for so many reasons. Unicorn everything in our house right now, my daughters birthday party is on Saturday and we are doing a Rainbow Unicorn party. I love that my daughter loves unicorns because as your post shows there are so many great ways to be magical and powerful – be a unicorn!!!!

  11. Unicorns are very popular right now. And I think it is because of all the things that you have mentioned and that they represent. My daughter did a lovely unicorn painting and has it hanging in her room to remind her of creativity.

  15. We get caught up in the seriousness of our daily lives and forget to live a little. After all, nobody goes back and says “I wish I was more uptight” lol. I’m all for letting out our fun imaginative sides.

  17. I totally LOVE this! At first I didn’t know what to expect – after reading it, couldn’t agree more! Setting and achieving goals that fire you up – there’s nothing like it. Really loved this – such a great read!

  21. I love everything about this post. Thanks for sharing lots of practical tips instead of just endorsing authenticity. I really appreciate it.

    I work in an industry filled with difficult feelings. It’s hard sometimes to lighten up and be the voice I truly want to be. I want to bring hope, joy, and fun back to the lives of people that have been struggling with body images issues and feeling crazy around food. Your post has encouraged me to bring this side of me to the light of my business 🙂

  25. I really love this. I need to work on showing up in the world the way I want to be perceived. I am so used to showing up as the person others assume I am, and then I feel undervalued and misunderstood. Thanks for these great tips!

    • Hey Danielle,

      I think that’s something I need to work on too. Sometimes people in our lives need to meet us again, they get so used to thinking of who we were or who they think we are.

      Reply

  26. If living with authenticity is what you are talking about then I have always strived to do so. Unwittingly I used to mirror to people what they expected me to be. All that changed and as you said I embraced my serious side and my quirky imaginative side. It sometimes confuses people who cannot reconcile to the fact that both aspects reside in the same person

    Reply

    • Hey Ingrid,

      Authenticity is EVERYTHING and letting go of who others think you are can be difficult. That’s a good point – I’d push it farther to say that sometimes we can’t reconcile it with ourselves either.

  28. I really like my job…most of the time. I spend all Sunday dreading going back to work on the Monday. I know what I would love to do, and I am slowly taking steps towards that goal.
    For so many years, I would make sure that no one would see who I really was, as I didn’t want to be perceived as ‘uncool’. It wasn’t until I started working, and also when I moved overseas, that I really became me!

    Reply

    • Hey Kat,

      I’m right there with you on this one, but I think most of us are. We love what we do most of the time but even still dread Sunday nights having to wake up to go back.

      Wishing you the best of luck in doing more of what you love all the time.

      That’s amazing, you must have had amazing parents. It’s such a liberty or freedom to just be allowed to be yourself. I’m sure your daughters will!

  34. Great advice! Sometimes I am too serious at my paying job. I am so blessed though that I am also blogging now. I love to write and your post just confirms for me that is what I should continue striving to do. However, some of the best times that I have had at my current paying job is when I was, in fact, being silly and having fun.

    • Hey Patricia,

      Isn’t blogging the PERFECT outlet for being yourself? I love the freedom to just write as I am, to show the world who I really am. I also find it easier to just be you without fear of rejection with my blog. And of course, you can have loads of fun blogging too!
