Expose those thoughts - get 'em out of your head!

Writing down your thoughts, dreams & goals is the first step to getting them out of your head & making them actionable. Even if you don’t think there’s anything special up there, try spending 15 minutes each day for a week, writing whatever comes into your mind… no judgments or criticisms. It’ll be interesting to see what pops up.

When was the last time you did something really delicious just for you and didn’t feel an ounce of guilt? Hopefully, it was recently, but the sad truth is that many of us are socialized to take care of everyone else first – and we’re called “selfish” if we object.

The reality, though, is that if we don’t place ourselves at the center of our lives, we become increasingly scattered, ungrounded, and miserable. If we don’t create space for our self care, we won’t be whole enough to take care of all those we love or who depend on us.

If our inner core of wholeness – what I call our “Circle of One” – is weak, we can’t support our families, communities, and ultimately our larger visions for the world in the most empowered way possible.

Everything else becomes a little easier, a little less stressful, maybe even more fun, when we carve out time and space for ourselves in the midst of the whirlwind of life.

So, how do we start to create an ongoing self care habit? One simple way is to break it down into the four-sided model of mind/body/heart/spirit.

What can you do every day to support and nurture yourself in each of those areas: to stimulate your mind, nurture your body, honor your feelings and important relationships, and reconnect with spirit?  Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing  tips with you daily so that you can begin to build your own 4-legged throne of “Sacred SELF-Centeredness”.  Enjoy!

Compass in hand.

Feet first.

With head and heart fully engaged.

I’m jumping into the world of blogging, tweeting and other online activities to get better connected to friends old and new, to help grow my business, and to learn from so many of you every single day.

As a spirited life/career transition coach, relationship coach, creatrix of fun, magical women’s circles and life ceremonies, I’m an expert at what I do. But I don’t have the social media skills, savvy or confidence to blog and tweet on my own just yet.

So I’ve enlisted a social media coach, someone non-judgmental, 100% supportive, and very familiar with the digital landscape, to help me navigate the waters. In some cases we’re navigating them together!

Sound familiar?? Aren’t there things in your life you’d like to do differently, but you need your own catalyst, someone to just ‘be there’ to guide you, helping you to expose that SELF-centered inner spirit that knows what you want, and streamlining your path to getting there??

I’d be thrilled to know you’re out there with me – we can watch, cheer, support each other as we learn and grow!

Are you with me??
