Happy New Year from World Tree Coaching! As I find myself today coming out from the isolation of having been home with my kids for almost three weeks, I realize I’ve got a bit of catching up to do.
Actually, I was realizing that all along. Only now that I sit down in front of my computer and take the steps to get organized do I realize what all that entails.
While I’ve been pretty quiet on the blogging front these past couple of weeks, I have been thinking a lot about the New Year and what this time of year means to most of us. Even if you’re not a resolution-maker, there’s something about the New Year that forces us to examine the past and look ahead to the future.
Right now all over the internet you’re going to see post after post telling you exactly how to create your resolutions, keep your resolutions, fine-tune your resolutions, pick the best resolutions….and even some that will tell you to ditch resolutions all together. So much telling!
In light of so much telling, I’m going to try not to get too tell-y or preach-y here. But, I would love the opportunity to remind you that genuinely reflecting on who and where you are is a good thing. In fact, whether you’re really a resolution-maker or not, probably one of the best things you can do for yourself in 2015 is take a nice long look in the mirror and get up close and personal with the person looking back at you.
So in the spirit of curiosity and inquiry (not telling), I’m just gonna’ pose a few questions…
Is it possible that all you really need to get started on 2015 is to love yourself a bit more?
What would happen if you were to stop putting yourself down, comparing yourself to others and wishing things were different than the way they really are?
What if, even though there are things you’d like to do differently, you told yourself that you’re really enough just as you are?
Imagine confronting life’s challenges (spoiler alert: there’s no escaping the hard times) knowing that yes, you are really doing all you can.
And, what if, after taking more time to know and be yourself, all that other stuff you’re adding to the resolution list seemed so much clearer?
And what if all this wasn’t just silly, cheesy, random fluff?
It’d be pretty amazing, wouldn’t it?
Throughout 2015, my goal will be to continue helping people rediscover that they’re enough…more than enough really. I want my clients, my friends and my family members to know that their challenges and their strengths work in tandem to create a fully capable and loving person. Confession: I even want to keep reminding myself of that.
So, Happy New Year from World Tree Coaching. May your year be filled with plenty of time to be you. And, in being you, may you find the clarity, hope, love and fun you’ve been searching for.
I’m currently scheduling clients for February and March. If you’d like to work with me in 2015 – click here to learn more.
