I can’t tell you how many times I have had to pivot.
Sometimes change is forced upon us and sometimes we choose it.
Whether it was a total reinvention, rebrand or glow up era there have been seasons when looking at the circumstances
forced the thought -
Do I like the way things are ?
Honestly mine are usually multifaceted and focus on feelings, relationships, purpose, career, aesthetics, lifestyle, etc …
Sometimes it’s spurred by thoughts like “did I lose myself”. Meaning - am I living a life that feels authentic or to
be blatantly cliche-
“am I living my best life”?
I’ve implemented overhauls periodically.
Changed careers, been divorced, changed my physical appearance, my physique, my surroundings, pastimes, spiritual pursuits and so much more.
What helped each time - allowing myself to create a vision. Even if it was from a picture in a magazine that embodied the direction (yes, magazine).
Keeping my mind trained on the vibe I was trying to create / embody/ step into was anchored on that vision.
Like picking a spot on the horizon to move towards or maybe like
my Northern Star.
It guided my steps as I moved in the direction I wanted to be.
Losing ourselves can almost start to feel comfortable. Like we don’t even notice it happening.
It’s like - life gets so busy we start
drifting or becoming complacent.
It’s not a judgment—it’s just true. We can become so busy and distracted that we lose sight of our own goals, growth, mission, and passions.
Redirecting ourselves takes reflection and taking stock in what we are doing and without harshness - nurturing ourselves to become who and what we want
to be from the core
to the outside.
If you’re reading this - the dash is still happening .
Embrace the opportunities you want to embrace.
Be exactly who you feel you are meant to be now.
Spirituality adds a layer of discernment for me in that I also want to honor the gifts and direction God provides me.
That often means me needing to spend time being a lot quieter than I typically am.
Reflection.
Then - more importantly ….action.
Stepping into that…
If I had to summarize:
—Reflect / pray
—Hone the vision
—Step forward
—Repeat ♥️
