To begin 2012, I have a simple question for you: Who do you want to be this year?
You, like everyone else I have met through my life coaching practice, have many different selves inside. You might have a worried self that tends to agonize about money and a jaded self that feels skeptical about getting too close to people and a hopeful self that wants to have an impact on the world…and many other selves that have conflicting feelings.
The themes might be different for each of us, but the truth is clear: moment to moment, we can choose who to be.
Every action you take and attitude you hold comes from some version of your self. So, change who you are being…and you truly change your life.
The very first step is to be mindful (pay compassionate attention) to who you are being. You might ask yourself: How do I feel right now? What does this version of myself believe? What else feels true?
If you would like to explore this more, I invite you to join my next Self Nurture Women’s Group. We will practice important skills like: mindfulness, self-compassion, connecting to inner knowing and more!
