...clearing clutter from your mind, body and space
On this 4th of July holiday, I reflect on the abundance available to us along with the freedom of choice.
If we are not where we want to be with our life, we are free to choose a different direction or actions.
When we align our mindset to our vision, we can experience happiness, success and abundance.
Happy Independence Day!
It is easy to react to situations. In fact, our days are full of reacting…. An unscheduled meeting, an urgent phone call, or a change in plans. We also react to the emotions of others and our own that we experience because of these things.
What if we decided to switch and respond versus react?
I recently attended a webinar where I was reminded of this tool that exists in my toolbelt. And I started to use it and it has made a positive impact and I wanted to share that tool. So, instead of reacting with emotions when faced with a change, respond to it. Here are some tips to help you use the tool.
One of the challenges we face is realizing that we do have the power to respond versus react. The next time your are presented with a change or situation, try those steps. This could be another tool for creating calmness in the chaos.
Life gets choppy. Life today is uncertain. Focusing on your vision and values can help you calm the storm.
In uncertain times, use your vision and values to move you forward. Take one step today to do something to support your goals. By taking one step forward today, you can build confidence and begin to eliminate some of the chaos that is in your control.
We are be being directed to social distance to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus. I prefer the phrase physical distancing. But that is another topic of discussion.
Social distancing should not equal social isolation. Yet social isolation could result during this challenging time. Let’s acknowledge that social isolation does exist and is increasing in this challenging time and that is compounded by many social determinants of health and health conditions.
We…you and I… have an opportunity to make a difference and truly connect with others as we stay at home.
For me, being at home…pausing my life outside of work a little bit…has provided the opportunity to intentionally connect more with friends and family. So, for that I am grateful. I have made the choice to purposefully reach out on a regular basis to relatives and friends that I may not have done so with in in my previous everyday life.
This time has helped me realize some of the more important things to me…. personal connections.
Who can you reach out to today and connect with?
If you are feeling isolated, there are resources available to assist. You can also contact me for resources.
“There is always something to be grateful for.” Being grateful in the present can be enough. It can provide calm in the storm. It can create a sense of appreciation for the things we do have. It can lead to an abundant life.
There is a lot of stress, worry and uncertainty these days…maybe now more than ever. Yet by choosing to be grateful each day, we can create our own happiness with what we have now.
Start today. What are you grateful for?
