The energy you seek to create the life you want.
Three weeks ago I co-hosted our Warrior Within Retreat with these amazing women. You know when you have an idea and then the EXPERIENCE is 10x better than the idea? Wow. Just wow. I'm still feeling giddy in my heart and the texts are still pouring it as each women is implementing the tools into their daily lives!
Their experience and transformation was palpable. What is a transformation exactly? A shift in a positive direction? A movement forward with clarity and a light heart? A beautiful opportunity to lean into the parts of our life that bring us the most joy? You get to decide what that would like like for you. Yet, what I know for sure? We are ALL more alike than we are different.
There were some common themes in what the women gained during the workshops. Here are some of the biggest take-a-way's and concepts shared that I think everyone can benefit from. You decide.
First and foremost, Life is life. 50% good/great/happy/joyful and 50% hard/challenging/rough/sorrow! TO LIVE A FULL LIFE you need both. I believe that wholeheartedly. As much as we find ourselves trying to avoid the 50% we don't want. I'm here to tell you it's not about living a life FREE of struggle, pain or heartache. It's about cultivating a deep rooted sense of peace that extends BEYOND the circumstances of our life. Where do you find your inner peace?
Secondly, WE are the creator of our next right step. OUR THOUGHTS are so powerful. We are fierce creators! We are constantly in creation mode with our thoughts; knowingly or unknowingly. To own your day; there are two paradigms to choose from. 1) being a victim or 2) being an agent of our life. Choosing a victim mindset is waiting for someone else to come save you, give AWAY your personal power and choosing captivity. Choosing an agent mindset YOU hold the power and begin a path of expansion and personal freedom.
Fun fact: 8 out of 10 middle aged adults are not where they thought life would lead them in at least two areas. So give yourself some grace and release expectations and old thought patterns. Stand in curiosity and see what unfolds.
Lastly, learn to OBSERVE not ABSORB the world around you. As leaders, parents, and all the many titles we possess you're not doing anyone any favors by trying to “hold it” for others. I know you mean well. I encourage you to PAUSE. Pause, and perhaps you simply allow it to be, or maybe you put it down. Let it breathe. This isn't always easy, especially if neuropathways are developed. Don't fret, I know you. I feel you. I know you want to be your best self for those you love and lead. However, ask yourself is it wanting to be your best self so much so, that you are leaving NOTHING for yourself WHEN you're working hard to fix all the brokenness around you. If you exercise the power of the PAUSE, maybe you'll find it's not yours to fix? Or perhaps, it's not broken at all?
If you are seeking ALIVENESS my friends, I encourage you to lighten your load. Letting go of things that are not meant for you could offer you THE ENERGY you seek to create the life you want.
