The gift of perspective - it’s time to celebrate ourselves! (August 2023)
I attended a memorial service for a family friend on Friday.
As I drove with my husband to the service, we talked about who he was in our lives.
While I met him 20 years ago, I usually only saw him at bigger life events where there were a lot of people present. My experience of him was that he was quiet and gentle and when he spoke to you, he was truly present.
As I sat in a church full of people, I was touched by what a big impact he made on those close to him. They celebrated his ability to be fully present, his big heart and giving nature that was a glue for his family and his community. His quiet, gentle, grounded presence is deeply missed in their lives.
So as I drove home from the service, I reflected on the gift of this friend’s life to help shift my perspective.
On my worst days, my perspective and thought patterns are self-judgmental.
For example, after being laid off, I have not quickly found a new job in my field and I have, at times, judged that as a failure.
While I have been given the gift of time and I have been inspired to build the coaching programs I have dreamed about, I have been judgmental that it has taken me so long and that I should have launched them already.
What if I shifted my perspective to celebrate the things that make me me and light me up?
So to honor the life of my friend, I come back to this present moment and celebrate where I am from a different perspective…
I celebrate my unique values
I celebrate my life vision
I celebrate how lit up I am when I live each moment in alignment with my values and vision
I celebrate how much I have grown in this life so far and how brave I am to keep saying yes to growth
I celebrate the deep and authentic connections that I have cultivated
I celebrate that I let myself feel all my feelings, sometimes sadness and laughter at the same time
I celebrate how much capacity I have for fun
I celebrate how much I LOVE helping people attract their brightest life
I celebrate the magic and beauty that are always present in my life when I am able to see it
Each of our lives has more impact on this world than we can imagine.
On October 11th, I launch my Values2Vision group coaching program that I have been dreaming about for years.
I celebrate my work, life experience and creativity that allowed me to design a program that supports individuals so that they thrive throughout their transition as they move from uncertainty and fear to clarity and optimism.
I know that when each of us deeply knows our values and align with a life vision that lights us up - that we attract it.
The more of us willing to live the lives that light us up, the lighter the world becomes.
Are you intrigued to go on this journey with me?
If so, I cannot wait to support you to celebrate yourself!
