When someone shows you who they are, believe them - Maya Angelou

It's hard to believe that it's so close to the very end of the calendar year!

.. and what a year it has been.

2022 reminded me that I have a choice.

2023 will be about choosing more peace and love.

A question I get asked a lot is, "So, Sara, how do I cultivate what I want in life?"

Here are three steps:

1.) Look at the relationships in your life.

Are you happy with those you hang around?

Are you good with your team at work?

Do you like being with your friends??

There's a quote that I often sit with:

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them." - Maya Angelou

Actions will always speak louder than words.

In a social media world where we oftentimes gloss over what is happening underneath the perceptions of life, it's easy to allow in what we don't always see.

That said, believe how a person demonstrates themselves to be, regardless of how they claim themselves to be.

2.) Set better boundaries.

Have an intention every day to only allow in what is healthy and good.

Make this your daily practice, and pretty soon it will be your way of life.

Here is a five-part process to establish healthy boundaries, which will create more space for your needs, wants, and desires in life:

• Know your worth. When we know our worth, we are apt to keep our boundaries and not slide for the sake of others.?
• Breathe and protect your energy. Your energy is your force field, and there are many energy vampires that would love to take your energy. Don't give it to them. When people try to get into your space, take a breath and respond in a way that works for you. Many times, a response requires walking away. And that is perfectly ok, too.
• Set your expectations and agreements. An expectation is what you hope for or desire from the other person. But, hey, many times those we set boundaries with are already not meeting our expectations. So instead, have a healthy conversation (if you can) and set an agreement with a boundary that requires the other person's agreement. This shifts responsibility and creates more balance between the giver and the receiver.
• Detach from the outcome. You can only hold the boundary with another person, not force them to abide by your rules of engagement. Attempting to control how a boundary is received causes frustration, resentment, stress, and worry. It also doesn't hold the other person fully responsible for their actions.
• Be confident and follow through. A boundary only works if you're prepared to enforce it. If you set a boundary and fail to follow through, you're relinquishing control and agreements, as well as teaching the other person that your word doesn't matter.

3.) Live in faith, not fear.

When we live in fear, we constrict and live in anxiety. When we live in faith, we open ourselves to what is possible. Believe in yourself and remember that you are deserving of all that life has to offer.

Try those steps as you enter 2023, and I promise that peace, love, and joy will blossom in your year ahead!
