Yes You Are Brave

Welcome to a brand New Year!! It is an exciting time when we often decide to make changes to improve our lives. It is also a time when many make resolutions that last a few weeks. But what if the reason those resolutions to change are failing is that we are trying to change habits without first adjusting our thinking? ----more----

Let's dive into this topic. One of the scariest and most difficult things to change can be your mind. To stop and realize that the thing in your way is you, and your set-in-stone thinking. ----more----

But if you are brave enough to take time and examine your thoughts, beliefs, and patterns then you can make an actual decision about if they are actually serving you or not. This can be done anytime, but since now is the beginning of a new year, the best time is now.

The Year is turning. And it is a perfect time to spend a few moments reflecting. To pause before barrelling into the new year and make some decisions about what you want it to be. That may mean looking back at this year and deciding what you want to take and what needs to stay. 

----more----

You can build the year of your dreams, but you need to plan it. You need to have a direction to take your awesome adventure. Because the adventure can and will be awesome if you are intentional about it. 

----more----

Let's pause and reflect on this past year and plan for the new one.

There is magic everywhere. Especially this time of year. All you have to do is take some time to slow down and see it. To embrace it when it comes. That is the way we capture the magic. 

----more----

It is a wonderful time of year, but it can quickly turn to the most stressful time too. So with all you have to do this season, decide what you are going to look for. And that is what you will find. 

----more----

Decide to embrace magic when it comes. Decide to live in those beautiful little moments. And that is what your season will be filled with this year. Merry Christmas!! (Or Happy whatever you celebrate!)

What is keeping you from being happy? Honest question. What is standing in the way of you feeling joy and finding your happy? 

----more----

As much as I hate to call you out here, it's probably you. I know I was the one keeping me from being happy. In so many ways and for no reason. So this season let's get out of our own way and allow ourselves to be happy. Because we can be if we will allow it. 

----more----

It is brave to be open, and let things in. But that is where we find the happy. That is where we find joy. By being open enough to big and small things that will make us happy. Stop fighting yourself and just be happy. 

----more----

Remember you are brave enough to do it. You are brave enough to open your heart up and let yourself be happy.

It's the holidays, the most wonderful time of the year. Except, for lots of people who just find it to be the most stressful time of year. Which makes sense. The expectations for this time of year have gotten completely out of control. 

----more----

That is why we need to be brave for our own sanity and make a few changes. One of those things we can do is take an honest look at our traditions and see if they are still serving us. Why are we doing them? Do we even know why? 

----more----

And if your holiday traditions are weighing you down, instead of bringing joy, change them. Be bold and let go of things that are making your life more difficult. Be brave and decide what traditions you want and what fits into the life you are building.

Where does your energy go? Let's think about it for a few minutes. What are you focused on? Is that what is coming into your life? 

----more----

I have always believed that you find what you look for, but it has been a long adjustment in my mindset to put that into practice. And I know that the word mindset gets thrown around a lot, but it really does make a huge difference. When we change from the inside those changes are more likely to last. 

----more----

Focusing on what you want and bringing that into your life aka manifesting is a fantastic tool. One that I would highly recommend! And if you need a place to start check out my friend Shannon's IG page to learn more.  She is amazing and will help you learn and start to take steps to change your life.

Shift your focus and change your life. There is no better time to start than now. Let's not waste any more time. Follow more of the journey on Instagram @findingpawnee

Why is it so hard to believe in yourself? Most of us are others' greatest cheerleaders, but we never cheer for ourselves. 

----more----

Believing in your own worth is a brave mindset. And it takes some serious effort and brave to listen to the right voices. But the braver you are the more you realize you deserve the time and effort. 

----more----

You are priceless! You are wonderful, amazing, and worth it! Please believe it. And let me be your cheerleader until you learn to be your own. We are all in this together and I love to cheer on other amazing people.

No one likes to be wrong. No one likes to have to start over. No one really likes mistakes. 

----more----

But mistakes, if looked at through the right lens are great learning opportunities. When we are brave enough to take action, and it is wrong, we then have the chance to come up with a solution. Because like it or not we learn more from our mistakes than when we happen to get it right out of the gate. 

----more----

Let's rethink how we think about mistakes. Embrace them as choices that may or may not turn out for our best good. Follow the journey @findingpawnee on Instagram. 

Honestly this one is for me. It was recorded on Dad's birthday because no matter how long he has been gone he is still important. Your people are still important no matter how long it has been or what other people say. 

----more----

So pause and take a minute. Let the day matter, because they matter. Let it hurt, even as you are celebrating the progress you have made. Sit with what is and process as it comes. Be brave enough to acknowledge that the loss will always be there. A part of you but not define you. ----more----

In the crazy hustle culture of today, it is easy to feel like you are not enough. But feelings are not truth. You are enough. And the way to feel that way is to do yourself a solid and lighten up. Stop putting so much pressure on you and take a break. 

----more----

Today we talk about taking a break. And how as a human, and not a machine, we are not made to be go, go, go all the time. We need time and space to relax and do nothing. Even if it is just for a little while. 

----more----

Be brave. Be the voice of reason that you need. Be brave enough to give yourself a break. You desire it.
