Happy YOU Year!

As the day after Mother’s Day, it’s perfect timing to celebrate the start of something new, the Happy You Year!

When’s the last time you tried something new?

Does your life feel boring? Like a lot of the same old, same old, struggling through pandemic life and wishing for things to return to ‘normal’? I’m guessing that ‘normal’ life wasn’t actually all that exciting, it was comfortable. And that’s okay. We need that bit of known security.

But maybe you’re craving a bit more of an amazing, fulfilling life.

Each day has its own set of struggles and yet we figure out how to get sh*t done every day.

Some days our capacity and skill set align and others it feels like a dumpster fire. This week has started off with a stuck sort of feeling and not a lot of enthusiasm for doing the things. But I show up, and things get done.

Come home to yourself.

Sometimes starting something completely new feels like a lot, too much to add to our plate when we already feel like we aren’t managing our chaos well.

Everyone loves magic. We all wait for a moment to suspend belief and just be amazed by the magic. But magic doesn’t just show up at magic shows or with special effects. It shows up every time you begin.

Where were you when the world stopped last year? Could you have imagined the year we’ve been through?

We all have our stories that we’ll retell years in the future from this time. But that’s the thing, what will you be saying when you retell these stories?

How much do you really know about yourself? How often do you do a deep dive into your soul or have a moment of pause to receive a flash of knowing? In the often self-imposed chaos of life, of motherhood, we don’t take the time for uncovering insights into our most precious souvenir of this life- ourselves.

In order to live the life you’ve dreamed of (or never dared to), you need to make some shifts with your mindset and a well defined goal.

When was the last time you took yourself on a play date? Spent at least 15 minutes doing something purely for fun or the enjoyment of it?

I’m getting better at deliberately setting time aside for fun, and being open to when fun finds me.

Life is sweeter when we celebrate. Big things, small things. All the things!

I challenge you this week to celebrate with me. Celebrate all the things! Live a life that truly makes you glow. It’s the best way to honor those that have loved us and be a role model for those we love and interact with.

Mindset Monday

What I’m really craving is a different kind of warmth. Warmth of spirit, a warm smile and hug, warmth coming from inner glow.
