Notice the bottom rung on this cool pyramid I found in a therapist's office
Welcome back everyone! I hope you had a wonderful break, however you celebrate and however you were able to rest.
I thought about a lot of things over the holidays. In no particular order: cults (nothing says Christmas like The Vow), meditation, and how to change the world. This might seem like a weird little list and in fact, there are threads: being human, vulnerability, choices, and the passion that I know you all share for making the world a better place.
So, for a few weeks, I will share my best thinking on the practices that in my 12 years as a coach, I've seen change the world for my clients.
Why not start 2023 with a BHAG (Big, Hairy, Audacious, Goal)?
As is well established, you are powerful. What you put into your workplace, family and community makes a difference every.single.day. It matters. You matter. The things you do, who you are, and the choices you make ripple out. So, here is the first one:
Reflect
Reflection is the first step toward self-awareness. Without reflection, you're driving in the dark with no map. When you see things >as they are - the good, the bad, the ugly, you are able to decide what to keep, what must go, and what you want to change. Reflection is the foundation for consciousness and intention.
So, in these dark days of winter (for those of you who are in the northern hemisphere), consider "reflect" this week.
And if you want to email me to tell me your thoughts about changing the world or stories of how you're doing it in your corner of the universe, email me here. I always love to hear from you.
Happy New Year!
