You can assess your mistakes however you choose. But if you choose to look at them as courageous, as willing to try, as a lesson in waiting, you may also begin to feel differently about them. Of course, we also make mistakes out of haste, ignorance, and negativity….but there is something to gain there too.
Go!
While you have breath, you have potential.
No Blueprint
Life has got to be lived! Feel it out. Learn. Learn some more. Keep living. Keep learning.
Presenting Change
Making change. Experiencing change. Sustaining change.
Create. Don't Compare.
How others have done it or are doing it is their path - not yours. Trying to figure out how someone else did it or is doing it is an energy drain.
The Discovery
Open yourself up to learning. About yourself. About others. About life. Your curiosity can help keep you moving.
Work And Celebrate
Turn the page. Start fresh. Set intentions. Resolve. Learn. Heal. Grow. Love.
You In The New Year
As we approach the new year, perhaps we can pause and hold space for ourselves. To reflect on how we think, speak, and act towards ourselves and each other.
Self-worth
Why doubt? Why play down? Why minimize? Why undervalue?
Your life deserves and needs your belief in yourself. Your truth deserves and needs your acceptance.
Stuck?
What you choose to hide from or lament or avoid can hinder your healing, your growth, your ability to make decisions. Be sure you also look at the benefits, the possibilities, the magic.
Space For Wholeness
That junk drawer is overflowing. That closet is jam-packed. That backpack can just about be zipped.
For all that you desire, you need to make room for it.
Relief
What are you clinging to? What are you holding on to? What are you attached to? What are grasping at?
Authenticity
We often take cues from others when they are actually judgments from others. We often listen to comfort instead lean into uncertainty. We forget ourselves when we only remember the past.
Courage and Grace
We feel the need to pep-talk ourselves into living our truth. And yet, our truth is like our breath. It’s right there. To connect with. To witness. To love. Be courageous in self-love and self-acceptance. Be graceful as you learn and expand.
Preferences
We often force our beliefs and desires into the present moment. As a result, we miss the beauty of the moment, the potential in the moment, the newness of the moment.
Pain Is Not The Main Part
Pain is part of it. It’s not all of it. It’s not the main part of it. It’s how we bring awareness and action to it that influences [if] how we can move through it, learn from it, and heal.
Your Life Is Not A Math Problem
We go all in with trying to make sense of it all. To find the logic. And yet, when we are asked to talk about how we feel…we struggle to express ourselves. Though our emotions may not be facts to apply to the world, they can help us understand who we are and why we act as we do or don’t.
Flow
Something we forget to do or never even think to do is forgive ourselves. That self experience can be so powerful, so healing. It provides space within ourselves to forgive others, be grateful for who and what are in our lives, and love deeper.
Moving From Striving to Thriving
Your Past Is No Copilot
It happened. You still remember it. You still feel it. You still wonder what could have been different about it. You’re also not obligated to give it attention. You’re not required to carry it into new experiences. You do not need to include it in your plans.
