I had a coaching session with my friend Lou today and as per usual she asked me what was showing up and what would I like to work on today. We have been in lock-down for over 200 days in my state of Victoria in the last year and I was feeling it today so I stated that I felt a little empty inside especially in my hands. We did some exercises and I noticed that I was forming fists of anger instead of contacting my heart to resolve the issue of what was having me feel this way.
When do we go in the direction of our heads ILO our hearts to resolve matters of the body. Often I do it when life has pushed me over, when really it’s time to stand up and push back even harder. Where there is a fork in the road and choices to make, make the ones your future self will thank you for. Today,start:
- Choosing you.
- Appreciating what you have.
- Believing in yourself and your dreams.
- Being positive.
- Taking action.
- Letting go.
- Picking yourself back up.
- Ignoring negative people.
- Staying in touch with close friends and family.
- Making time for fun.
- Spreading love and kindness.
- Being the change you want to see in the world.
