Happy Friday,

It’s time for the last message of this year. Though we know we can always start anew, determine a different course, set our sights on something we want to achieve – and move toward it; there is something about being in this place at the turning of the year that seems full of promise. So, the reminder today is to be in this place of opportunity.

Take some time to acknowledge the lessons and achievements of 2011.

What have you learned?

What has worked?

What has grown in you?

What qualities rose up and served you?

What connections have you made?

What was fun?

What are you proud of?

What are your grateful for?

What do you want to take with you into the New Year?

As you turn your thoughts to the New Year, notice what you want to bring to it.

Who do you want to be?

What is calling for your attention?

What do you want to create?

How good could it be, how big?

Who do you want to play with?

Where do you want to go?

Be expansive, and then focus!

Judy

And, if something you want is greater clarity and support on this journey – I can help with that.

Let Go

Happy Friday,

Have you noticed what is created when you let go of stuff, habits, thoughts that are weighing you down? Have you experienced that sense of freedom, freshness, and flexibility that occurs when old baggage is released?

There’s a weight associated with holding on to things - physical things, all those clothes, the books, the papers, the do-dads. There’s a weight of obligation with the overcrowded calendar, the busy schedule, the commitments that may be maintained out of habit or a sense of “should.” There are some thoughts that can also weigh us down. There can be an assumption that we have to continue with a role that no longer suites us. It may be that we are stuck with a belief around how others are supposed to be, or act.

This is a perfect time to reflect on some assumptions and beliefs that may no longer serve you. If you experience a weightiness of thought, of worry, consider the thought, the belief, and the assumption behind it. Is it true? Could it be different? What would change if you could hold another thought? Be curious. This year is ending. New beginnings are right around the corner. What do you want to carry into the New Year (pack light) and, what do you want to leave behind?

Grateful for the lessons,

Judy

what do you want?

Happy Friday,

We are approaching the end of the year and the question, “What do you want?” can be in the air….on our minds. What do you want? If you are facing a time of change, a time of transition you may be dealing with many choices, big and small. This can be a good time to reflect on what you want to keep, what you want to let go of, and what you want to move towards.

Some suggestions for your list, as you move ahead into the next year, include….

- Something that brings you joy

- Something that offers you comfort

- Something that challenges you

- Something worthwhile

- Something to look forward to

- Something that uses your creativity

- Something that connects you to others

Funny – the list starts out with “something” yet, what you find to satisfy that item probably is not a “thing.” Hope you give yourself the chance to consider where you want to go from here. What else belongs on your list?

Know what you want,

Judy

Good Morning,

So much of what we struggle with is about balance. It requires a lot of flexibility to maintain a sense of balance; because, often things don’t go the way we thought they would. Simple things, things we take for granted can tip us off balance, calling for a quick pivot, change of thought, different actions.

Today reflect upon your ability to be flexible – and persistent. What is the balancing point in following through, being determined and knowing when to let go, not overly tied to a certain thing, way, or outcome? How do you react when faced with a roadblock? What have you learned here? Where does resourcefulness fit in? What is worth hanging on to and what is not worth worrying about?

We don’t have control of everything, and sometimes the surprises bring unexpected gifts. Keep moving in the direction of what you want and take notice of the journey.

Dance with the music,

Judy
