As the title suggests I'm learning life lessons, everyday. Today Sept 9th. I'm taking back my life. Yes, even I don't have all the answers and control over my life. I've been pushed into a box and am emerging. I guess that's why I like butterflies so much and use them in my business. Out of the cocoon emerges something different, not quite the same, but different.
I've been furthering my education and of course with that comes restraints. This is the proper way to do this or that. well after much thought and a little guidance. Things around here are going to be taking on a bit of a different tone and focus. I spend time with my clients, helping them get to this point, and yet I am not there myself. Kinda hypocritical, right? It's always a process to get where you want to be and we have all traveled that road at some point in ours lives. Your future self doesn't happen over night. All though I will say, I've been struggling with some marketing materials for quite a while now, so in reality it just isn't happening. I wouldn't call it procrastination, I just cant work out the details. I don't want to spend money on cute little white bags, when I really need something different. I am attempting (I said attempting...) to curb my spending and really focus on intentional purchases. Apparently my brain has come to accept this and the other night I dreamed it. I told my husband it was like magic it all just was plain as day what I needed and wanted for my vendor event. He says it's gonna take more than magic. Well duh, I am just saying I can see it more clearly now. I'm not doing it the way someone else wants me too. How it should look, I'm doing it my way. My future did become clearer over night. It was many over nights, but I did see the ending. Which is why I am saying some things are just going change around me, here, there, everywhere. Or maybe I'm just going to see things a bit differently now. I always ask people about the dreams they have as it's always fascinated me. I often felt I was dreaming wrong. Yes I know. Silly thoughts take over me at times. I try to bring it up in just everyday conversations, not like sessions where the client will pause and think about the answer they should give. I just want an answer, if you had a dream last night, were you in the past, present or future? Simple. I wonder what one can do to help the subconscious to dream about the future? I hate to say it but how can we have more "enlightened" dreams? ya I said it. My inquiring mind wants to know. I'd love to discuss it. Or even just post past, present, future in the comments. That would be cool too.

I'm enjoying a cup of coffee in my favorite mug. (Yes it has a chip, but I still use and love it). Just thinking about stuff. Wondering how am I'm going to get everything done. I can't do everything. I need to start making time for the things I want to do. This needs to be my priority today. I think I will have another cup and re-evaluate. This is a list I've used for a few years. I don't know who the source is (sorry) But it seems to keep my anxiety over projects and commitments in somewhat order.
I think I struggle the most with number 6. "know when to cut" Or mostly, when to say No. I am a bit of a people pleaser. Saying that simple word no, adds on a ton of guilt, does it not? I took a course a few years ago about objections. I always follow up my no with a .. because, I have to ______________. excuse. Sorry no I cannot help with your project because I am______________. which normally follows up with, I guess I could squeeze it in. I have learned to just say No. the end. No, No thank you. No can do. Just no. It is not an easy process. Try it. You do not have to explain your reasons. I think that I have just discovered that my "Me time" has become a necessity, I lived far too long without it. Prioritize. Prioritize, Prioritize what is important to you. I'd love to hear your tips and tricks too. #itsallaboutpriorities Oh happy day. I finally received all my certifications from SWIHA (South West Institute of Healing Arts) It's been a long journey packed into a very intense program. I completed Transitional Life Coaching, last winter, Holistic Nutrition in the spring and Urban Farming & Sustainability the summer. A Diploma Program of 600+ hours. You know that feeling when it's done ... and then you see another certification you want. Right now I'm busy re-forming my business Green Soul Wellness, Changing my licenses and permits, and working with new clients, Teaching healing arts at Howe's Art Studio and a line of products. So I may just wait till things calm down a tad bit. I am continuing my education everyday I get up. There is so much to learn, if you just slow down. Chasing your dream doesn't have to be a sprint, it's a marathon. (reposted from 7/24/2016)
