Top 3 Lessons on the Journey for September

 I Integrate all the lessons learned from this past month. Through this process my soul is nourished, my mind is stretched and the Chi flows freely through my body.  Seven Sones Leadership




September has been a month of lessons for me. let me tell you my friends!. I have had to draw on so many of the tools and lessons learnt on this Journey. As I reflect, I now know that I feel grateful for the exposure to those past lessons. They certainly came in handy this month. I think we tend to forget that we have tools, affirmations, lessons and experience when we are in the middle of life and its challenges. This is where a pause comes in. If we just continue to go and go, remaining busy we are not giving ourselves time to feel, to deal and to heal. This approach has consequences, the biggest of them all is we continue to remain stuck and in a cycle of pain.

These are my top 3 lessons on the Journey for September: 

Forgiving myself first as a pathway to forgiving others must be the biggest one. Forgiving and judging others became easier once I did that.

Recognizing that love is what I am rather than something out there that I have to go looking for was another huge lesson during this month.

Fear shows up in so many ways, when making decisions from fear, there are always consequences and our bodies keep score. Fear  also shows up in our bodies 

Add some fun and joy into life - another major lesson - joy is our birthright, we more than deserve it.

Do something that brings you joy - daily! Life is much more than struggle and challenges


Peace

What is being of service? Looking upon another human being with kindness and compassion and not judgement is a profound act of service and though such a form of service lacks for whistles and bells, this expression of “service” comes from truly understanding the power of your soul and what it means to “look upon another with eyes of grace.” Carolyn Myss 1.

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
