TGIF friends…
It’s been a heavy couple of weeks/months in the world and as I’ve been trying to wrap my head around it all and move forward with life changes in general, I thought I’d bring back the Friday 5 emails with things I’m thinking, feeling and learning from the past week. So, let’s get into it…
Friday 5: All the things…
1. Moving forward..
I truly believe 2020 is a year of massive change and moving forward. While none of us likely imagined the first half to be what it has been, I can’t help but think that it’s all part of a Divine plan to move us forward individually and collectively. You and I aren’t going back to anything that “was” before. We are here to move forward, build anew and to create a life and world that we came here to live. One that is bigger and better than we ever thought possible in our lifetimes and believe it or not we all play a role in building that…together. So, something I’ve been asking myself a lot lately is whether the actions I am taking and the thoughts I am thinking are actually moving me forward into what I wish to create and it’s something I encourage you to think about too. If we aren’t moving forward then we are simply creating the same story and life we are currently living and that’s not what we are here to do.
2. Breaking through the ceiling.
Something else that has been coming up a lot lately is this idea of breaking through the ceiling as we move to the next level. Many of my clients have been sharing some challenging moments they’ve had over the last few days as they lean into the next level. The more I thought about it, the more I connected with the idea that what’s happening is they/we are simply breaking through the ceiling. When you decide you are going to go to the next level, you are bound to hit some level of resistance (aka your ceiling) as you transform your mindset, actions and begin to lean into that next space. It’s normal. It’s part of the process and it’s why I have always said that life upheavals lead to life up-levels. Embrace the challenge and know that you are moving to the next level. It’s done.
3. Decide, commit, repeat.
The power to change anything in your life begins with a decision. The moment you DECIDE you are going to make a change in your life in order to be/have/do something different is a powerful moment that begins the process. But, it doesn’t stop there. You must also make a daily commitment to becoming that change and doing what you feel called to do from moment to moment. In a way it’s a daily decision to show up and BE that version of yourself that creates the change, speaks her truth, shows up as a leader etc. Whatever you have intentionally set out to change or create remember decide, commit, repeat…daily.
4. Leaning into learning.
As I continue to find my way forward in doing this work, evolvingg my business and consistently using my voice and this platform to create change with the Black Lives Matter movement and beyond, I’m leaning heavily on my desire to learn. I have so much to learn and as with anything, my desire to learn also comes with a desire to share. So, as I continue to lean into learning more about my white privilege, my biases and how to use my privilege effectively, I will continue to share ways you too can learn and contribute to creating lasting change. I also encourage you to take more time to listen, learn, and ask yourself how you can take action to create change in the world. I assure you, you have a purpose in this work too.
5. Loveland Foundation Fundraiser
As I announced earlier this week, I am hosting a Next-Level Mindset Masterclass on Thursday, June 18th at 7:30pm EST. Originally this was meant to be a bonus masterclass for the participants of the Leveled-Up Life Program, but I have decided to open it up as a paid masterclass with 100% of the proceeds donated to the Loveland Foundation Therapy Fund. In this masterclass, I will be sharing specific, practical tips on moving to the next-level in your life through mindset and energy work. I’ll also be discussing how to overcome the resistance that often arises as we move to the next level. Every participant will also receive a digital journal with prompts you can use after the masterclass to keep your next-level mindset growing. I will also be answering your questions at the end of the call, so I highly encourage you to sign up and be sure to make it live if possible. (P.S. If you prefer to make a donation to Loveland Foundation directly, please feel free to do so and email me your confirmation and I’ll get you added to the masterclass.)
So that’s it for this week! I hope that by sharing my weekly updates with things I’ve learned, causes I’m contributing to etc. that it inspires you to create your own shifts in your life and beyond.
I also hope you will join us for the Next-Level Mindset Masterclass and help me in raising at least $500 for the Loveland Foundation Therapy Fund.
