READY

2019 was a hard year in many ways for everyone. It was a year of challenges, heartache, new beginnings, rapid changes, and just a bumpy ride all around. This is not just a new year though, it’s a new decade. The shift is energy in real. This is your chance to reflect on the past year and figure out how to do it differently this time around. It's time to get honest with yourself...

What did you not do that you wished you had?

What did you run from that you need to face?

What have you blocked out that you need to allow in?

What have you allowed in your space that should not be there?

What opportunities did you miss that you will say yes when it comes around again (‘cause it will)?

What experiences did you miss because you were afraid that you will now take?

2020 is the year to make it happen. It’s the year to stop playing victim and start taking ownership of your life, your choices, your friendships, your environment, and well just everything. No more excuses. No more waiting. Time is up on just “being”. It's time to live a life full of meaning and purpose. So ready, set, let's go!

Awareness

Awareness

It’s usually not until something hits close to home for us do we become more aware.  Not just of the situation, issue, or diagnosis at hand, but we become more aware in general. The things that annoyed us, well know we don’t even notice them anymore. How we spend our time and who we spend it with becomes much more meaningful. We have no time for petty arguments, toxic situation or people, and certainly we are hyper focused on surrounding ourselves with hope and positivity. Slowing down becomes something you cherish since you are present in more moments than you were before. Connections become deeper and even in what could be a very stressful or painful time, your life purpose could start to emerge in an entire new way.  Life happens to us to bring us more awareness of not just each other, but ourselves, our connections, and what we bring to this world as well as what lessons we need to continue to learn and grow from. The more aware you become, no matter the circumstance, the more you understand your connection to the bigger picture and that will give you hope and steady you for what’s to come. Sometimes when life breaks you down, it’s to rebuild you even stronger than before.

Pause

Pause
It's always good now and again to pause. We are usually on the go from the time our feet hit the floor in the morning until we pass out in our beds at night. In between can be such a blur as most of it we do without even a real thought to it whether it's cooking, getting our kids to the next game, school work, job duties, you name it and we just plow through our days. Before you allow this day to get away from you, take the time to pause. Reflect on where you were a year ago. What were you able to accomplish and how has your life changed in the process? Pausing and reflecting on our lives allows us to see the bigger picture. It also allows us to connect with the present and get a deeper understanding of how much we have grown. It also gives us the space to breath and that we all deserve. For today find several moments that you can pause, reflect, sit in gratitude and awe over this entire experience you are having. It's amazing how our focus and attitude can change once we give ourselves time to just stop ... and be...
