Weekly message about creating your new normal

Dear Creators,

Today I am remembering that balancing is an ongoing process. We learn, we can get better at it (here’s the big but) Yet (ha!) we drift, things change, something new crops up, we want something else, things get old, we get old(er), we learn something else that takes adjusting to….on and on it goes.

So be with that. That’s the game we’re in and we can shift, re-focus, change, grow and learn.

We can also choose our perspective around that. We can resist; we can be curious, patient, impatient, sad, and excited to name a few.

How balanced are you feeling at the moment? Planted firmly? Kind of tippy?

Ready to pivot,

Judy

Dear Creators,

What propels you forward? Often the motivation for change, growth, movement comes from a sense of dissatisfaction with what is, or a restlessness, a feeling of discomfort, dissatisfaction, wanting more of something. Be OK with that. Allow that. Be curious about that. What do you notice?

I love hearing from and coaching people who want more of something…more depth, learning, connection, sense of purpose, feeling of health, wellness - more, better, simpler. These are great areas for coaching - to explore what wants to be noticed, and find actions to move forward to create that. How do you reflect on what you are experiencing and consciously use that insight? What difference does it make? What actions do you take, what patterns do you modify, and what habits do you change?

Last week’s message reminded us that change is a constant. We are always in process. Today’s question is: Who do you want to be….in one year….five years….10 years? And, what will put you on that path and keep you on that path?

Better & Better,

Judy

Dear Creators,

It’s still summer, and yet the days are slipping by and we are gradually moving along to the next season. Change is a constant; just as we are always somewhere on a continuum of transition. We could say that we are constantly in some phase of growing, becoming, and evolving. As long as we are alive – we are shifting, letting go, taking on new; learning – growing – shrinking. We are dynamic, alive, ever changing.

You have seen those images from cameras that capture flowers blooming, the sun moving in the sky, movements of the stars? Those images show us what we miss with our senses. There is progress we aren’t sensitive enough to perceive. So too it may be that we are not always aware of our growth, change, blossoming. It can be subtle and hard to detect. We may feel stuck when actually there is aliveness.

Being aware of transition as an ongoing process might help us to be more conscious of our choices and to appreciate all the phases. There is no “stuck”....wherever you are you have ways to think about the situation from a more powerful perspective. Your thoughts and actions today can bear fruit in the days, months, and years ahead.

What seed do you want to plant? What do you want to move toward, have more of? What is the action that will move you in that direction? What environment sets the stage?

Grow in the direction you want,

Judy

Create a New Normal

Dear Creators,

On a beautiful summer day it seems easy to appreciate very simple things….the sound of waves on the beach….the glint of sunlight on the water….the feel of the breeze….the colors of the trees, grass, flowers growing so abundantly. On vacation so much is reduced to simplicity…eating, walking, and being outside.

What’s the lesson here? These simple pleasures found in nature are always available to us (in different forms from season to season!) What gets in the way from appreciating, enjoying, taking in these in? What gets in your way? What’s the clutter? What’s the distraction?

The reflection to sit with is this: Where can I simplify, de-clutter? What will that give me and where do I start? What do I love and what can I let go of?

Keeping only the best,

Judy
