Grab your coffee (black please, no sugar) -
This week I realised it's:
TWO YEARS since that first Lockdown in 2020.
TWO YEARS since the world hit a collective PAUSE.
TWO YEARS since life as we knew it was forever changed.
Never have our RESILIENCE and RESOLVE been more tested.
I looked up the dictionary definition of the words - and there are 3 types of definition of RESOLVE:
1. DETERMINATION
determination to do something / strength of will / strength of character /
perseverance / bravery / boldness / courage / guts / grit / determination
2. The VISUAL kind of resolve -
“when something that was blurred comes into focus… " which totally plays into a quote I recently shared on Instagram:
WHEN EVERYTHING IS UNCERTAIN
EVERYTHING THAT'S IMPORTANT BECOMES CLEAR!
3. To decide firmly on a COURSE OF ACTION!
TWO YEARS ON?
There's no doubt with Number 1.
These years have shown our resolve, determination, strength of character.
But - how are you getting on with 2 and 3?
* What was blurred that came into focus and - crucially -
* WHAT COURSE OF ACTION HAVE YOU TAKEN?
>>>>>CUE TUMBLEWEED >>>>>>
Yup - I see you! Shifting awkwardly in your seat - like that moment at a panto when they come into the audience looking for a volunteer! (IS there a more awkward moment? No, there is NOT!)
But - DON'T feel bad. This - as always - comes to SUPPORT you.
Even coaching friends of mine who are 100% committed to their own personal development and fully equipped with tools for growth, have seemingly parked everything they learnt in
Lockdown. Why?
Because it's easier to go back to WHAT'S FAMILIAR.
Change requires you to get vulnerable.
But as I said many times during the pandemic and still now with everything that's going on in the world, we're ALREADY vulnerable.
And - as a reminder... in the words of ARIANNA HUFFINGTON:
That blank canvas for you to design and DARE TO LIVE a life that's true to WHO YOU ARE...
The clarity you got on what you DO and DON'T want in life?
And now?
Same old, same old?
NOT ON MY WATCH!
When I deliver my Limitless Keynote, the question “If you had 1 year to live - are you living the life you’d want to”? poses the biggest challenge. Because, let’s face it, we all live as if we’ll be here forever.
We all know families who have lost during this time - possibly bringing our OWN mortality even more in focus. I’m more than aware of the epic impact this season has had on our world but whilst being mindful of the realities, I’m trying to find the positives for forward momentum.
Seasons of hardship can be a real opportunity for personal and professional growth SO write out:
3 things you DIDN'T miss in the 2020 lockdown?
What ACTION can you take to DECREASE the volume on them?
3 things you DID miss in the 2020 Lockdown?
What ACTION can you take to INCREASE the volume on them?
Meanwhile - how does this question make you feel?
If it's "OMG - THAT'S ME" - I've GOT YOU!
If it's slightly teary? - I've GOT YOU!
If it's "yes - but WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?" - I've GOT YOU!
I'm launching something BIG and super exciting where I'll be able to better:
Support You!
Cheerlead You!
Challenge You (in the best way!)
Let you feel like someone is ON YOUR SIDE!
Encourage you to DREAM, DESIGN and DARE TO LIVE your LIMITLESS LIFE.
Walk you through TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES to EQUIP and EMPOWER you to do so!
And it STARTS HERE!
LADIES - If you want to be living a BIGGER, BOLDER life - I've created something JUST FOR YOU!
I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS!
