Week 2 kicking off with a bang and wrap of week 1...the questions I have rolled around all week were
1. What are my values and do I practice them?
2. Do I take things for granted? What am I grateful for?
Well the values that kept coming up:
Authenticity, clarity, confidence, determination, gratitude, open-mindness, humility, diversity, acceptance, resilience, strength, positivity, and harmony.
Do I take things forgranted-in full transparency..Hells yeah I did!! I am a human being human (another Coach Tulinism). I got into a comfort zone and got fuzzy blankey with a cup of coffe on the couch comfortable in that zone. This week I really focused on what I am grateful for:
A bed to sleep in, a roof over my head, the ability to continue to pay for it, food on the table, a job to go to, stability for mini, music to get lost in, my outlet of writing, and friends/family who step up when I stumble.
This week I also looked around and realize that it time to make changes! I am afraid of change, there is a strong dislike of change, but it is necessary. That is where 100 days of brave is coming in. See I don't have to do it all at one time and I can do it anytime in the day. All I have to do is two things...hand over the reigns to my God of my understanding and intiate the change.
Let me explain this...I can hand off the reigns and say I am powerless and pray for the strength to take the responsibility for the actions needed for the change to happen. It is like praying I am thristy...God provides the water but if I don't pick it up and drink it...well that is me not taking the action.
In those actions this week there are some new changes coming in...first I want a disciplined life. Spiritually, financially, physically, and emotionally. This is where I have to start cutting away old growth and make room for new. I have made huge strides from day one of this blog but if I am going to grow anymore, some of the old needs to go.
I have discovered some older deep roots of childhood that are holding me back...time to pull out the shears. These deep deep roots are stunting some major much needed growth...more to come on those in a later installment!
For now I am going to spend this week working on small changes that are going to help me get my shit together (hey I love Jesus but I still cuss a little). Work on trusting my gut and cutting out these deep roots that truthfully at 41 years old I should not be allowing them to still stunt my growth!
Till next time!
