As some of you know, this year’s Close To My Heart Convention will play off of the Disney movie Inside Out, which tells the story of an 11-year-old girl moving to San Francisco through her emotions: characters named Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust.
In the spirit of Inside Out, we thought it’d be fun to talk about the many emotions YOU’LL get to experience at Convention!
Ready to board this emotional rollercoaster? 🙂
1. Anticipation
You’re probably already well acquainted with this emotion. After all, you’ve been waiting ALL YEAR for this event and now it’s ALMOST HERE!
Once you get to Convention, the anticipation will continue! For one thing, you’re going to find a Sticky Boy. It just has to happen. You NEED him! Just try not to feel too much anger or envy if someone else snatches him before you! 😉
2. Wonder
Just a head’s up—this is one emotion that you’re going to be experiencing A LOT. From getting your own copy of the brand new Annual Inspirations idea book…
…to seeing new products in person—and don’t even get us started on how wonderful it will be to create artwork with these new products!
3. Fear
That momentary feeling you’ll get after seeing all the new products you want to buy, and then thinking about your husband’s response…or your bank account. But don’t worry, this feeling doesn’t stick around too long! 😉
4. Joy
You’ll feel this emotion for all sorts of reasons. Maybe because you get to see dear friends you haven’t seen since last Convention, or maybe because you get to experience the magic of Convention with your best friends in the world.
Then there’s the fact that Convention is basically a three-day party.
5. Pride
One of our favorite parts of Convention is getting to reward our Consultants for their hard work, diligence, character, and loyalty.
If you get called onstage, prepare for the waterworks—and enjoy the pride you feel in yourself. You deserve this!
You’ll also feel pride in your team…
…and because you’re part of a company that helps women around the world run their own businesses.
6. Sadness
When it’s time to pack your suitcase and kiss your friends goodbye, you’ll feel a little bit of this emotion.
7. Gratitude
But mostly, you’ll feel overwhelming gratitude. Gratitude for the friends you’ve made, gratitude for the opportunity to attend Convention, and gratitude for being able to turn your passion into a means of providing for yourself and your family.
We feel all these emotions at Convention, too. 🙂 And we’re so looking forward to sharing Convention with our fabulous Consultants. If you can’t make it this year, be sure to follow us on Facebook, and search the hashtags #makeitfromyourheart and #ctmhconv2016 on social medial to see even more posts. We can’t wait!
Love Convention – always have such a good time. Also love all the friends I make that continue to grow every year. Such gratitude for all of the amazing friendships I make and that continue to grow every year! Looking forward to getting to Orlando tomorrow and getting started!
Loved going to Comvention for the first time. It was an awesome experience and I loved every minute.
