Welcome to the Reimagining Blog
I welcome you all to this blog. I invite you to take what works for you and embrace your reactions, whatever they are and wherever they lead you. I hope to offer insights, inspiration and tools for your journey to reimagine yourself.
I invite you to embark on this path from where you are right now. Not from where you think you should be, or what you wish you were doing. You will look back on who you are today with compassion and kindness. You may see today as who you were, and you will know exactly why you were that person in that time. Bringing that self-kindness and self-compassion for yourself now is a powerful tool to help you forge your own path with clarity and alignment with what matters most to you.
You may find yourself itching for change. Ready for more and not sure what that looks like. Or, you may find it harder to find compassion, kindness and forgiveness for yourself right now. You may feel stuck or overwhelmed, unsure how to find your way out.
The fabulous news is that change comes from the best of places and also from deep despair. You make choices every day, some that help you move toward the future you want, and some that hold you back. The first step is practicing living more fully right where we are. Right now. To embrace each day, for better or for worse.
Here is some of the groundwork for this journey, to help you with your own practice:
To trust your intuition, you need to get to know those voices in your head. Which are on your side? Which drown out important but quieter voices?
Get to know your emotions–what do they tell you? Can you name them as they come? Can you perhaps make a little space for the uncomfortable feelings?
What is your body telling you? How often do you overrule those signals and what balance have you found for your physical needs?
What matters? What is most important to you and when can you align your actions with these values?
My calling is to help you find what grounds you. I have lived through times I could not find my own ground –unhealthy, overwhelmed, and steering with white knuckles and a lot of hope. These times challenged me, but they also led me to who I am today.
Your challenges may unmoor you at times, but they also can help you see what really matters. They can help you find wisdom, and see the imperative in letting go of what isn’t serving you, what is noise instead of signal.
I outlined some concepts above, but let me leave you with one thought for today, one step you can take right now. What would self-compassion look like for you today?
Would that be giving yourself grace for doing your best?
Would that mean finding a pause to reset?
Would that mean letting one thing go today?
Thank you for walking this journey with me, and please reach out if you want to talk–for a free conversation. I am at cynthia@focuscoaching.net, or you can book at time with me.
