Yes, it’s that time of the year. The hustle the bustle, oh did I mention the endless shopping too.
This isn’t another “let’s start thinking about our resolutions” NOPE, it’s more about what are ready to let go of?
Make sure you read the whole email for a surprise!!
What are you willing to let go of?
What are you ready to close the doors on?
These questions are the prelude for your resolutions for the new year.
Why not approach the new year reflecting back on this past year and what we are willing to let go of moving into 2019
Letting go of something is a decision that you make. What is it that we can let go of? I have asked this question repeatedly to my coaching clients this last month.
Here are some of the answers I received. (PERMISSION to post with no identity)
Stay tuned to the end of this blog post, where I share mine.
- I will let not let my limiting beliefs stop me from overeating.
- I will learn to say NO when I need to take care of me, even if it means babysitting for my grandchildern
- I will let go of negative thoughts around my health
- I am going to let go of my past and move positively towards a new chapter
- I will let go of my anger for my daughter in law.
These are real desires from some of the fabulous and courageous women I get to coach.
At the end of the year, you should decide what you are willing to “let go of” before you ring in the new year.
For me, this year as I reflected back I saw a reoccurring pattern. I was overwhelmed and frustrated a lot. Yes, understandable since my life has changed in many ways. Taking care of parents and their needs. The paperwork, the bills etc. Plus trying to maintain my own life and give time to my new business venture. The days spent in frustration and overwhelm were becoming a new norm for me. It started to take a toll on me. Working with my coach helped, who helped me realize that I am choosing to be in a state of overwhelm and frustration. I realized that I could set up my business to fit my lifestyle, in a way that felt congruent to me. I realized that I was starting to make overwhelm and frustration my friend, my theme.
This is what I am letting go of for 2018.I declare that I am letting go of overwhelm and frustration. I am letting go of judgment for those expectations I placed on myself. I am letting go of the thought that taking on more in my career will come with overwhelm and frustration. I am letting go of the thought that aging is
I usually theme my years, for instance this year was the year of Magic. It most certainly was a year of magic. My coach is magical and her whole branding is around the magic she creates. Let me tell you, together we have created magic.
I actually decide what each month will look like. I have this all on my phone as a way to keep me accountable to myself. Another practical but important MLcoachingprinciple.
As you may imagine my new theme for 2019 is “Ease and Flow”
I hope you enjoyed this post and if you did, please share it.
Happy Holidays
I am wishing you all a magical ending to a beautiful easy flowing New Year 2019
