“Breathe darling. This is just a chapter. It’s not your whole story.”
Change is not easy. Change is the new norm. I’ve used variations of these sentiments in countless corporate communications I’ve written on behalf of executives trying to explain why they make certain decisions. When it comes to making changes in your life – whether you choose to make them – it’s wholly different.
It’s different because life changes depend on mindset. Is it an opportunity to transform? To grow? To break through limiting beliefs that have been part of an identity? To rediscover and love self? In sum, life change takes courage. It also takes a good dose of self-care and kindness.
I’ve gone through deep transformation. There were times I wasn’t sure I’d make it through the coming days, let alone months. I had to spend time with myself, getting to know me again and what makes me magic and unique. It happened in fits and starts. The kind of physical, spiritual and emotional change I went through wasn’t linear at all and took time, a lot of time. Now that I’m on the other side of my initial major transformation, not only did I rediscover the goddess I am, but I’ve decided to own it and rock the fuck out of who I am.
So, not only am I super comfortable in my own skin, I’ve got amped up energy and full-on excitement about life and all the possibilities that are mine for the taking. Oh, the difference a year makes! I now know what magic and happiness I’m calling into my life. That clarity is what’s enabling me to manifest so much abundance in every area of my life.
Remember there will be times when change and transformation takes all the courage you can muster. The key to all this? Life is too short to be someone you’re not. Be real. Be honest. Be You. And be proud AF about who you’ve emerged from the flames to become!
