Episode 261: 33 Lessons in 33 Years (Part 1)
On January 19th I turned 33 and it was admittedly an interesting one.
Did I allow myself a moment at the beginning of the day to mourn the life I thought I’d have by 33 - the house, the husband, the kids? Sure did.
But then I decided the theme of the day was to follow the joy.
The joy brought me to my favorite coffee shop with a fantastic book.
The joy brought me to a reflexology massage and True Food lunch with my friend Brooke.
The joy brought 6 wonderful women over to my home for a pajama party. These women didn’t know each other, some I haven’t even spent much time with yet. But there was something about this particular group of women and I wanted to bring us all together. Lo and behold, we ended up talking about life, love, and business as if we’d been in each other's lives for years.
And it got me thinking about how much comparison is the thief of joy. It’s a phrase you’ve probably heard a million times. But I could have easily allowed my disappointment in my perceived shortcomings to overtake the day, to overshadow the amazing life I do have.
So in keeping with celebrating this life I’ve lived, with all its twists and turns, I decided to write down 33 lessons I’ve learned that have made me who I am and that hopefully help you bypass some of the challenges I’ve had to face to learn said lessons.
- For the love of God, trust your gut.
- Working hard is great for creating more success. But so is making time for joy.
- If not this then better. Allow what’s not meant for you to exit left.
- Stop fighting the ups and downs. Throw your hands up and enjoy the ride.
- No emotions are bad. Feel them all.
- Your conscious thoughts have far less impact than your subconscious beliefs. Heal your trauma if you want to make real change.
- When you learn how to calm your central nervous system, life becomes a LOT easier.
- The quick fix never works. Not in health, not in business, not in love. Do the work.
- People are in your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Whatever the situation, it’s ok.
- It really is the little things.
- The thing you’re scared to do is probably exactly what you need to do.
