Slow that space down and you have room for change

It's been one week since New Years. How's that resolution going? If you've followed the growing number of people who adopt a "One Word" of the Year instead, what is your word?

Did you know that motivation is really just a feeling? Often we wait for it to strike, when ironically if we remain consistent and do small things, we actually can create the same feeling.

Don't wait to feel motivated. Make your own feeling with consistent little steps

As we look forward to 2024....

Value yourself!

Have you noticed you're less patient?

Good things take time

Instead of feeling trapped by negative ones, use them to propel you forward

Try practicing the pause

Feel the feeling, but don't become the emotion.

Forget New Year's Resolutions... it's our habits that we need to alter. Instead of committing BIG in the beginning for a year, start small. Commit for the week, with the intention for longer. Then reflect on your success. One week at a time. If you stumble, continue. When we change our habits, we change our lives.

It's ok to not be ok.

You can be both!

With the holidays approaching, it's important to manage that artful place of being civil, even warm, but maintain your boundaries.

Strive for progress, not perfection.

You can walk beside them, but this journey is theirs.

Keep being you!
