Ready to Stretch?
It takes contrast to understand the edges. – Melanie Ezell
Happy Monday!
Well as predicted the Fall Equinox happened and guess what it’s Fall y’all! Okay sorry, I had to just say it once and get that out of my system.
Today I have a free Masterclass I want to share with you but first a little context on where I am coming from this morning.
The last few days proved once again how we can make all the plans in the world, and then life happens. For me, I caught the dreaded Covid somewhere along my journey in the last 14 days and it knocked me out for the count. Tested positive on Saturday morning. Ugh.
So, does that mean we shouldn’t plan since life will do what it wants anyway? Far from it, it means we need to have a plan to keep us focused. This will assist us to get back on track when life completely shoves us off our path. And boy do I feel shoved at the moment!
Today’s quote comes from a woman I have come to know on Instagram (@yogasurfmel) who has spent the last year fighting ovarian cancer and is currently in remission. She posted last night for her 40th birthday today some beautiful sentiments including the fact that her greatest reward through this turmoil with cancer has been the grace she has received.
Grace is a beautiful commodity that comes from living life with our eyes wide open to all the possibilities of what to do with what comes our way. Even in our darkest hours. Having acceptance for what is, while working towards a better outcome.
I got feedback from a number of you about the final Victory Circle that is happening in the months ahead. What was asked by some is if I might be doing a circle that wasn’t focused on business. More on goal setting and finding purpose for life in general. I am working on a program for those who have interest and will have something for you hopefully by next week’s letter.
In the meantime, with a new season in front of us I thought I would share a couple of tools to help guide you along your way. First is an idea around creating affirmations and stretch goals.
Affirmations like goals are those words we repeat to ourselves that hopefully keep a smile on our face and bring us back to center focus. To take the good, the bad, and the ugly and see the positive side of what we can in life by the words we say to ourselves outloud everyday.
What are stretch goals you ask…you did ask, right? Let me explain with one of my acronyms:
Stepping into actions with a smile
Time priorities realized to bring goals to life.
Reasonable solutions for the unreasonable.
Everything finds a place and balance.
Tenacity to push through when the going gets tough.
Challenge yourself in new ways that excite you.
Happiness that comes together for each step of the journey.
To help with feeling the flow of fall (say that fast 5 times!) I would create a free Masterclass that is based on the element of getting the most out of your time. It is called the Time Mastery Masterclass.
In about an hour you can take one thought or idea that you have and take it through the Victory Goals Map. I will assist you the seven step video recordings to see what it will actually take in time and resources to bring your number one goal/dream to life.
I created this to assist you in making Fall 2023 one that serves you well in the area of your life that matters most right now.
For me, I am going to continue taking it easy and resting for the next couple of days to get my health back in order to get on my own path again.
Wishing you a beautiful fall season ahead.
To Your Success and Victories,
