My word for 2025 is possibilities. I thought only of my life coaching business when I chose this word. Since I earned my life coaching certification in 2021, I’ve been focused on supporting people as they navigate life’s challenges. I do it in many ways: this blog, inspirational (I hope – haha!) social media posts, hosting Moments for Me, book clubs, and both one-on-one and group coaching.
Those of you who are close to me, know it hasn’t grown how I would like it to. Hence, I went back to work part-time.
And then in mid-February, it hit me. There’s so much more to my life than my coaching business. Why am I thinking of “possibilities” only entrepreneurially?!
Duh!
I have many roles: wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, friend, 4K education assistant, and coworker. I’m also a student of life. I’m always trying to learn more to be a better person through reading and attending events. I am creative – I enjoy writing (I’ve even written some poetry in my journal this past year!), dot painting, and baking/cooking. I like to move my body: walking, especially in nature, yoga, Hydrow rowing, urban poling, and even playing a little pickleball.
“Possibilities” has widened for me. I’ve made changes to my daily routine that allow for more time for me to listen to what I need from moment to moment and try to honor that more. I’ve made some changes in my business thinking. When receiving information about world events I intentionally get cozy and utilize breathing techniques to keep my nervous system more grounded. I’m being more intentional about connecting with others.
I was in the trees, focused only on growing my business, not seeing the bigger picture of the forest, all aspects of my life.
When I shared this with my spiritual coach she reminded me that the Kingdom of God cannot be threatened. And neither can we. Love always wins. Nothing – no thing!- can stop Love and Light.
We know from history all too well how horrible things can get.
AND.
And we know how strong and resilient humans are when we get still, get aligned, and take action.
Why do we often get caught in the trees instead of seeing the forest?
Because we’re human.
It’s both that simple and that complicated.
I now feel like my internal GPS has re-routed me. My new route allows me more freedom to listen to my inner wisdom and do what’s best on any given day.
