I’m so grateful to have found coaching and to love what I do.

In the process of doing what I do, I have the immense opportunity to learn more and more about myself. Here are the things I’m staying focused on right now:

Every day I can choose to be calm, relaxed, and naturally myself.

Every day I chose to believe in myself 100% and to honor the commitments I make to myself.

Every day I choose to show up for myself and for the people in my life.

I accept the 50/50 of life. The contrast between positive and negative, the necessity of experiencing both. I understand I will not be any happier in the future than I choose to be now.

I can make a conscious decision not to worry. I understand that I fear uncertainty and the unknown and this awareness helps me overcome my anxiety.

I can do hard things. I can continue to lose weight (25 pounds so far, yay!), to be an entrepreneur and coach, and to build my business.

I embrace discomfort. I’ll feel discomfort no matter what, so I choose to feel the discomfort of reaching my goals rather than the discomfort of not.

The worst that can happen to me is a feeling (like feeling humiliation, shame, grief), and I have the self-confidence to handle any situation and any emotion.

I no longer need or desire perfection as a way to control situations in my life.

I’m aware of my habits and patterns. When I worry, blame, judge, and buffer I’m trying to avoid and resist my emotions and I choose not to do that any longer.

I allow myself to just feel it. However I feel, it’s okay, I’m learning not to judge myself. I’m becoming more aware of why I feel it. I don’t indulge in my emotions by telling myself I don’t know what I’m feeling, I don’t have control, or by not taking responsibility for myself.

It’s my life purpose to understand myself, my intentions, what’s getting in my way. The secrets to me and unlocking my best life.

I choose not to be in a rush, or to hurry through my life.

I practice love and compassion for myself and others every day.

Every day I choose to feel joy and gratitude.

Wishing all the best to you!

It was life-changing.

I’ve learned so many lessons along the way…

The big one…

Asking for help when you need it

I held the belief that asking for help was a sign of weakness. “I’m smart and motivated and should be able to figure out stuff on my own, right?” I couldn’t have been further from the truth.

Asking for help, hiring a coach, and finding a community of like-minded designers who are interested in exploring new perspectives has been the start of a whole new journey for me.

A second insight…

Self-awareness is key

Before I asked for help, I thought I needed coaching on leadership, or how to take more action. I thought I didn’t know what action to take.

That wasn’t really it at all.

I didn’t have an understanding of my thoughts and feelings and what was really going on for me. I didn’t know what my intentions were. I had so many stories and drama in my head about what was happening to me. (And, I was thinking some pretty disempowering thoughts!)

My first big a-ha moment was when I was complaining about something I needed to do for my job and my coach offered the suggestion that I didn’t have to do it. We all have free will and can choose what we want to do. “But I have to,” I said to her. What would happen if you didn’t? she asked. (I admit, my head exploded at the thought of not doing it!)

What’s the worse that could happen? Would I lose my job? No, probably not. I started to understand I often did what I thought other people wanted me to do. I was thinking one thing and doing another, I did things I didn’t want to do and then I acted like a victim.

The huge insight…

Taking responsibility for yourself

When I started setting healthy boundaries and taking care of myself rather than people pleasing, I created entirely new situations and experiences for myself. You can show up being the person you want to be rather than playing a victim and blaming others.

Three big lessons I learned during the very beginning of my journey were: asking for help when you need it, self-awareness is key, and taking responsibility for yourself. All three created dramatic changes in my life.
