2020?? I'm not mad at you at all.
YES, in many ways, you slapped me in the face and took away my freedom. ????
You've compelled me to pivot; to change strategy; to make a paradigmatic shift in way I operate. I've truly learned the power of adaptability.
But goodness me! I'm COMPLETELY blown away by what I've accomplished in just 6 months.
I've made some GIANT STEPS, huge leaps and taken some major risks - all as the world stopped spinning?? and lay flat, and we all felt as if we were about to fall over the edge.
Some of it makes me feel fearful, nervous and unstable (that's what growth feels like). Yet I also feel hopeful, optimistic and alive:
? LESSONS LEARNED:
1. Maintain a good attitude and emotional agility (especially in crisis) vs a personal stance of rigidity and negative energy. The latter is unattractive and will not serve you.
2. Build positive relationships with others. Relationships, when they work, are your biggest asset. Your relationships (romantic, professional, personal) should be uplifting and freeing, not toxic and debilitating.
3. Go after what you want. Opportunities won't come and land in your lap. Don't procrastinate. Do it NOW. No time will be ideal. Get out of your comfort zone and feel the discomfort of growing. Progress sometimes mean changing priorities and places.
4. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Every new step will feel unnerving and uncomfortable. That's growth happening. Embrace it.
Remember a ship in harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are built for... and my own personal gem " it's never too late to reinvent yourself and unleash your personal power".
5. Be well. Look after yourself - your physical health and your mental health. We experience our lives through our bodies. So take care of it.
One love ??????
