Many people come to me for coaching when they are going through a huge change in their life or realize things aren’t working. After trying to hold the pieces together for too long, they can’t do it anymore.
When we go through a crisis and things fall apart – be it health, career, relationship, things in life no longer make sense.
This can be a painful and challenging time.
It can also be the biggest opportunity for change and growth if we have the courage to do the work. I know this has been true for me over the last several months.
It’s not easy. During times of crises, it can feel like you’re being swept up into a tornado; it’s touching everything around you and you’re just waiting for it to spit you back out.
What we don’t always realize in these moments, is that we have a choice.
We can focus on everything that’s spinning around outside of us, or we can turn inward and connect with the peace and love that is already there.
When we are aligned with the peace within us and are making choices from love, this is when things line up for us in our outer world with more ease and grace.
This is living life from the inside out rather than outside in.
It requires an interest and intention. A desire to learn, to be aware, and to cultivate something deeper. But it’s all there, it’s who you are.
I have had the privilege of witnessing such incredible transformations. It’s like magic when someone’s perception shifts, fear leaves, and there is an experience of who they REALLY are.
And most often they say that this crisis was a gift because it caused them to do the inner work and they feel more peace, joy and fulfillment than they ever have in their life.
They realize that the peace they were striving and working so hard for was within them all along. The search is over.
Three months ago, my life was turned upside down, and as challenging as it has been, I can honestly say a powerful transformation is occurring. I wouldn’t have chosen this way to grow spiritually - but the Universe had and has a plan for me. I surrender, and I am being loved, supported in every way possible. All is well.
We can’t control what happens on the outside. We can control how we respond.
This is mindfulness. This is empowering.
With love,
