Show Up for 2021
/
It’s time to talk 2021. What the heck will it look like for each of us?! There are steps to pave the way sooooo get your car out of park and move to your destination. This pandemic should NOT stop the dreaming, planning, the positive thoughts, healthy eating, reading and learning. Here are some of my ideas for you:
CLEAR A PLACE FOR YOU.
Start with organizing and cleaning your office, studio, dining table, nook or where ever you do your daily jive.
FIND DAILY INSPIRATION
Mine is Tut.com. It is filled with humor and fun. Here is today’s example from my email inbox:
“Practice, Erin. Study. Prepare yourself. Think. Act. Face your beasts. Do the dance, walk the fire, wait in line. Plant the seeds, hoe the field, go to market. Pay the piper whatever dues you think you have to pay. Because on the day you become all that you now dream of becoming... Oh my gosh, there is simply no price that would seem too great. It's going to be that good, you're going to be that happy, and it's going to last forever, Erin.”
Guaranteed, The Universe”
Who can't smile after reading that?
Perhaps it is 10 minute Meditations as my friend Jo does each morning. You know what feels good and what works for you so sign up.
MINDFUL EATING and DRINKING
You most likely know what is good for your body and mind. Make some notes on your Vision Board or your daily list of how you want that to look. And know that tomorrow is another fresh welcoming day so you can start anew if yesterday was not a healthy day. Leave the guilt in the trash can…
BE OF SERVICE
I will always always toss this in your direction. The world is not only about me, myself & I. The giving and donating of time, talents and money fills your heart instantly. Little things like, help a college grad or job seeker with their resume, “Zoom” with someone who is interested in what you do for a living, deliver 3 books to anyone and write what you like about each of them, pop a card in the mail reminding someone that you are thinking of them. Or go big and join a team that feeds people, say yes to being on a board, you get the idea.
GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
This is one way to get growing and learning. My friend of 30 years signed up for Spanish online-that’s scary if you ask me! Walk with a close friend and brainstorm how each of you can get out of your comfort zone. Again, it brings a great feeling of bravery and accomplishment.
BEGIN A VISION BOARD
I do this every year with my daughter’s friends, my friends, my sister. This year some will be via Zoom and some will be 2 people at a time and 100% masks. I am not a pro but my peeps know I guide others in this process because I love it, believe in it and it works.
It works! It really does work. I just evaluated my 2020 board, made comments on what I accomplished, was surprised one of my goals was accomplished on 12/31! It slid in right at the deadline. I really did not know how I was going to make it happen but I put it on my Vision Board anyway and it did happen. It’s not by magic but by trusting the universe, God, the Divine Mind, AND creating action steps.
Mine looks more like this but they can come in different ways.
PRAY
A prayer has never hurt anyone. It’s simple, can be quick and can help direct your thoughts to others rather than self. It’s great for thankfulness, it’s healthy for the heart, it can draw you to a quiet moment, calm your road rage and take the edge off. I feel so chill just writing this. It works!!
Head on out into this great big world with your goals, dreams and your daily walks. I will be here if you need me. Really, I will! Make it a great year. Isn’t it weird to think that you have that kind of power?!
