Hi Friends,
What was your takeaway on the rising phoenix? I heard that some of you were truly inspired.
Sometimes inspiration isn't enough. You need action. And if you have followed me for a while, you know by now, that I am not preaching "burn your boat" or " jump now-the wings will come" or some kind of BIG action. I want you to find the next step. The next doable step.
A micro step in a macro goal.
I like that. That resonates with me.
It’s February and you might have written down some goals in January. How are you doing with those?
Did you write it down? Is it on your vision board? If I asked you now, could you tell it to me?
Sometimes we have too many goals. Can I just get your attention for a second? Take a deep breath, close your eyes and envision ONE goal you have.
Pick one. See it, feel it, taste it, hear it.
Let's pick a trip to Italy. I mean, who doesn't want to go there? This could be overwhelming and all the doubts and negative voices creep up and down your goal. And that's often when we give up.
Instead I want you think of a micro step toward that goal.
What do I mean?
You could look up what are you want to visit.
You could look up when flights are affordable.
You could think about traveling solo or with a friend.
You could look up facts about the region.
You check your passport to see if it's valid.
You get the idea. These steps are doable and in the right direction. It’s like coming around a bend and you can see the landscape unfolding in front of you.
Stay in motion my friend. Keep rising like the phoenix, or keep stepping forward like the turtle (for reference read this blog)
I know it seems early, but picture December 31,2024. What goal are you proud of to have accomplished? What area of your life will you have grown? What do you look like? And, how does it feel?
If doubts are popping up around what you can become by the end of the year, then we have some work to do. Yes, it's work. It's not a walk in the park. Why? Everything will come up; triggers, memories, doubts, old beliefs...
The good news?
That work happens to be my specialty. I'd be honored to walk beside you, see you move forward and rise. I will help you with all the gunk that comes up that no one wants to look at.
This week's affirmation:
I am taking a microstep toward my goal.
Isabelle
You are loved. Deeply loved. Loved beyond measure.
Until next time,
Isabelle
