Your Next Clear Move

Just because you can pursue a goal, dream, or promotion, doesn't mean you should. Many well-meaning people give us advice on what we "should" do but it's not necessarily a good fit for us. The problem is, that only we know what we should pursue and how we should go about pursuing it, but we won't often give ourselves the space to figure it out. We don't tap into our own inner wisdom and answers. We just keep moving ahead toward the "next thing" or the next position because we think it's what we're supposed to do. But what if that strategy is actually taking you further away from who you are and what will truly fulfill you?

One of my favorite quotes is, "Energy flows, where the attention goes." Meaning, what we put our attention and focus on, grows and amplifies. Sounds simple, right? But it's not and here's why. We are a multitasking, striving to DO more, seeking productivity and efficiency to get ahead kind of society. We want to get immediate results to feel accomplished. We "should" ourselves by saying that we should be farther ahead in our careers or more successful in our lives. We compare and measure and judge ourselves every day. That is a harsh reality to endure for any length of time, and it needs to stop.

This time of year can be a two-sided coin. Exciting because of a new chapter, and overwhelming and stressful at the same time. But, it can also be an opportunity, one where you get to mine the triumphs and tragedies for wisdom—a time of year where you can leverage the past to uplevel your future. And here's what you need to do. Take a look back to move forward.So as you move into the new year, I'd like to plant a few seeds in your mind that you can consider as you get back into your work.

Tune in and discover where to start.
