Start Anew

June 11, 2022 by Michaeline

You can use to choose to start new anytime. In any moment we can decide that a difficult day or a challenging relationship or decision that’s gotten off on the wrong foot can be started again. It is a mental shift that allows us to clean the slate and approach anything with fresh eyes, and we can make that choice at any time.

Starting new is most powerful when we focus our attention to what we are choosing to create. Giving all our attention to the unwanted aspects of our lives allows what we resist to persist. We need to remember to leave enough room in the process of new beginnings to be kind to ourselves because it takes time to become accustomed to anything new, no matter how much we like it. There is no need to get down on ourselves if we don’t reach our new goals instantly. Instead, we should acknowledge the forward motion and choose to reset and start again (and again), knowing that with each choice we learn, grow, and move forward.

Life coaching can assist with a restart. Contact me for more information.

Trying Our Best

February 19, 2022 by Michaeline

“Life doesn’t require that we be the best, only that we try our best.” `H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

As I wrap my arms around my word for the year, I am feeling challenged. I am so used to being task oriented that I have even created a to do list for those things I want to incorporate into just being such as meditation, journaling, yoga, and contemplation.

The quote reminds me that my best approach is to take it day by day and do my best for that day and then let it go.

As I said in my last post, life is a journey and not a sprint. So, let’s take it a step at a time and strive to do our best each day.

Be Thankful

February 5, 2022 by Michaeline

As I shift into being, I have realized that gratitude is an important anchor for me in the daily practice of being present, mindful and in the moment. To just be.

In my recent posts, I have shared about how challenging my word selection is for this year and yet it is vital for me to pivot and embrace that space of being. Gratitude and a gratitude journal help.

I am sharing this reflection on gratitude and being grateful for all things in hopes that it helps us all see the importance of gratitude for all things. [Read more…]

Be the Word

January 8, 2022 by Michaeline

A New Year, a new word. This year’s focus word is “be.”

Every year instead of selecting a New Year’s resolution, I select a focus word for the year.

For me, aligning to a word provides direction all year long versus focusing on a goal that you meet (or not) and then move beyond.

I usually start with the definition of the word, but I found that difficult this year. So, instead I am sharing a quote from mindful.org that “defines” what “be” or “being” means to me:

‘In being mode, the mind has “nothing to do, nowhere to go” and can focus fully on moment-by-moment experience, allowing us to be fully present and aware of whatever is here, right now.’

My goal for this year, this new chapter in my life, is to be present in the moment. I selected this focus word because I have been “doing” all my adult life. Lists, obligations, deadlines, and people pleasing have kept me doing. Doing to the point where my well has run dry. This year, I am looking at self-care and with that “allowing” myself to be in the moment versus in the space of what has happened or what will happen.

So this year I intend to start being instead of doing by:

  • Deciding what is most important to me.
  • Choosing to be happy in each moment.
  • Honoring my strengths.
  • Residing in the present moment with an open heart.
  • Taking inspired action.

Consider joining me in selecting a word for 2022. What will it be? Or will you join me in “being?”

The Importance of Integrity

July 31, 2021 by Michaeline

I am more than halfway through my year with integrity as my focus word.

I wish I could say that I have been working on this daily or even weekly, but if I did, I would be lying.  Life gets in my way, yet I keep recommitting to this because not only is the idea/goal of my annual word focus something that I believe in there is also the reality of life and that we need to keep trying.

There are so many reasons why integrity is important for us and in life in general. While integrity does still exist today, it is not as prevalent as it was in times gone by. Integrity could be defined by saying it is the type of person you are in your inner self when no one else is looking. It is the essence of who you choose to be when hard choices press you and there are some choices that may not be as moral. Let’s talk about some reasons why it is important. [Read more…]
