Curiosity

Curiosity

We are naturally curious. That's who we are but that might have been stifled as you got older due to fear. Curiosity continues to propel us in a forward motion though. To be curious about our passions, interests, where we spend our time, all continues to lead us along our path to our life purpose. Never let your curiosity be replaced by fear, that's' when you stop learning and growing and feeling disconnected from who you are. Be inquisitive about all aspects of your life. Read more. Take classes. Learn a new skill. Make a hobby into a passion. Be curios about everything around you, including you! That's how you tap into your endless potential.

Fear

Fear

What would you do if you weren't afraid? This is a loaded question but can break you open at your core. Fear stops most of us from taking risks, from reaching greater heights, and from taking those chances on ourselves that could lead to a life that we could only dream of... but what if it doesn't have to be a dream? What if the only thing stopping you from reaching your full potential was this underlying fear of failure, rejection, not being worthy enough, or maybe even feeling not smart enough? So you keep yourself small even though there is this constant knowing that you are meant to do more. It's time to start silencing the voice in your head that is telling you to lead with fear and start listening to that inner knowing that you were meant to give more, be more, and do more in this lifetime. Lead with love and watch how your life unfolds in miraculous ways.

Reflection

Reflection
Your life is a reflection of your choices, what you spend your time on, and who you spend your time with. If your life is not reflecting who you truly are, it's time to change the scenery. Why waste one more minute lending your time and attention to anything that doesn't feed your soul? Why give your energy into anything that depletes you, makes your feel tired and unsettled? Why allow yourself to be used, taken advantage of, or compromised in any way? Your life is a reflection of who you are. Make sure you love what you see looking back at you.

Forgive

Forgive
The most powerful tool you can give yourself is the act of forgiveness. Forgiving doesn't mean condoning the behavior, it means you will no longer allow that anger and upset to live inside of you. It also means letting go that the situation could have been different.  The most important person to forgive though is the hardest and that person is yourself. You were only doing the best you could at that time. Now that you know differently, you can choose differently the next time. Forgive yourself for missing that opportunity, for not leaving the relationship earlier, for not speaking your mind, for not walking away from any harmful situation, for staying at that job too long, for everything you berate yourself about - it's time to forgive. 

Stop Waiting

Stop Waiting

So much of our lives are wasted away on waiting. We wait for the right moment for everything. We think that happiness is something we can only experience come the weekend, or if we are on vacation, or if we have the "right" job, or if we are healthy enough, or even better - if we are with the right person...and so on. As we wait to live life, we completely miss the incredible moments and opportunities that greet us every single day.

So stop it.  Stop waiting for tomorrow. Stop waiting for the right moment. That moment is NOW. Embrace the fact that should be living for today. Laugh more, love hard, eat that piece of cake, go give that shelter pup a home, clean that closet, purchase that shoe, enroll in that class, apply for that job, go on that date, say hi to that neighbor, read that book, and take every moment in ... for that's when you stop waiting and really start living.

Detox

Detox

Your body needs time to decompress from everything that you've put it through over the past year or more.  It can only take so much and so can your spirit. As the flowers are starting to bloom through the soil, it's time for you to detox your life. Whether it's a physical or emotional detox, you can't afford to delay it any longer. It's time to get yourself centered, peaceful, and whole again. It's time to shed the pounds that have been weighing you down. It's time to let go of people who are not uplifting to your life or soul. It's time to look for career changes if you are no longer happy with the work that you do. Nothing is holding you back from making these life altering shifts but you. Detoxing is hard, it's painful, it's uncomfortable, but so is staying exactly where you are now. As you lighten your load you also lesson your burdens and stress. Here is your loving nudge to begin.
