July is the Journey to Courage

 

Courage – being loyal to yourself, your intuition, your heart, honoring yourself and your guidance over pleasing others and fear, It is not about overcoming fear, it is about honouring the loyalty.



For July, the intention is to view courage more than the absence of fear, but the presence of faith.


For July, the intention is to view courage as a test of character - can I tap into that space inside of me to do the thing that would make me proud, that thing that I chose intentionally with integrity, faith, trust and authenticity especially when it is uncomfortable, goes beyond the habits that I have cultivated and when no one is looking.


So many times we chose what feels good in the moment, or we chose to avoid the difficult or uncomfortable conversations and situations. There are times we chose unconsciously out of habit and familiarity and justify it in many ways. The consequences of these actions reflect in our lives with little or large messes to clean up which we could have avoided if we tapped into that well of courage that we are all born with.


In July, the journey is to move away from unconscious, inauthentic decisions and choices, to remember who we are and bring all of the other lessons into play such as acceptance, self respect and authenticity,

Here is to having the:

Courage to speak the truth.

Courage to live the truth.

Courage to take a stand.

Courage to trust Self.

Courage to Show Up…Real

Courage to Listen.

Courage to Empathize.

Courage to Learn New Things.

Courage to Share.

Courage to Love.

Let's do this. I am ready

Peace and Blessings

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

  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...
