November 1, 2022.
The month of self. Realignment, Refuel, Refocus. The month to look in the mirror and reflect, but how to do this in the healthiest way possible?
Let’s Chat…
It’s kind of wild when you think about it, but one of the hardest things to do is put yourself first. If you are a parent, in a relationship, have a demanding job, have family members who need you, have friendships to maintain, “you first” seems impossible. Like some fantasy version of reality. There are all these things that take up a piece of you and leaving you with only a piece of yourself.
Whelp, this month we are putting ourselves first. Don’t worry, we are in this together, so hold my hand (virtually), and let’s implement some things…starting today.
First things first, we are waking up and asking ourselves two things; “what do I need to do today” and “what do I want to do today”. Now the trick is to stick with it. The times you would normally say yes to everyone else, must become a hard no. And remember “No” is a complete sentence, in other words, you can provide an explanation, but it’s not required.
Next, we need to write out our big goals and see what we can reasonably accomplish this month that make those big goals more obtainable. Ask yourself, “what can make me one step closer to my goals”. This will allow you to realign anything that has fallen out place, remove things or people that keep you off track, and of course hold you accountable in achieving your goals. This also allows you a chance to celebrate at the end of the month, remember every accomplishment is STILL an accomplishment.
And lastly, focus on what brings you peace. When you are at a point of reflection and realigning staying centered and happy will be your biggest motivator. Some people have never had true happiness so they are easily distracted, but once you taste your true peace, you will protect it all cost. Your goals will be devoted to that peace and will give you a drive that even you didn’t know existed.
A word of advice don’t let anything be an excuse. Having children, a sick parent, school, work…nothing is an excuse. And if you make it an excuse hold yourself accountable. Say, “I don’t live for myself, I live for…and I ok with that because I don’t know how to exist peacefully within myself.” I bet that will make you do and see things differently.
November is all about you, and as your life coach…I am here to make sure you stick to it.
