Negotiating what you're worth!

By Danielle Laporte
To increase your earnings…
You’ve got to believe that you’re worth it. It all starts there. You can hesitate and be doubtful, you can even worry that you won’t get what you want, but in your heart of hearts, you have to fully claim that you’re worthy — and amazing.
The world reflects back to you how much you value yourself.
If you’re uncomfortable negotiating…
Role play it out. Ask a friend to be tough on you. Their job is to play hardball and coach you to stand in your power. Act out the “part” of being a hard-hitter. The point of the exercise is to uncork your inner money ninja. Trumpet your praises, stamp your feet, “I’ll go for six-figures, a parking spot, an extra three weeks paid holidays — and nothing less.” Just try on righteousness for size.
And then… come back to center, back to what feels true in your bones.
And know this: If you are willing to give a gig your all — and you can back it with talent and skill — then you fully deserve to have your energy matched.

I practice Karma Yoga.

Concept
The word karma is derived from the Sanskrit kri, meaning 'to do'. In its most basic sense karma simply means action, and yoga translates to union. Thus karma yoga literally translates to the path of union through action. However, in Vedantic philosophy the word karma means both action and the effects of such action. Karma yoga is described as a way of acting, thinking and willing by which one orients oneself toward realization by acting in accordance with one's duty (dharma) without consideration of personal self-centered desires, likes or dislikes. One acts without being attached to the fruits of one's deeds.

Krishna explains that work done without selfish expectations purifies one's mind and gradually makes an individual fit to see the value of reason. He states that it is not necessary to remain in external solitude, or remain actionless, in order to practice a spiritual life, since the state of action or inaction is primarily determined in the mind.
