What 2015 shifted within me... and what 2016 has in store!

Day 365… just putting the finishing touches to another chapter. Anticipating the blank fresh page arriving tomorrow.

What has 2015 meant for you? What has it taught you in your life?

For me, it has been a journey of intense inner growth. It wasn’t necessarily planned or anticipated, but I was open to the lessons life had in store. A willing student.

2015 has seen me lean into my edge as never before, step so far of my comfort zone that at times I was overwhelmed with anxiety and could not see a path beyond. For the first time I pushed through those feelings, victorious and hugely proud of my retreat creation. Hugely proud of my first solo trip aboard, hugely proud of my new found friendships and teachers that showed up just when I needed them most, when my heart was ready for them.

Most of all this year has been about magic. Opening up my heart to the possibilities and letting go of the voice of safety in my head. Serving others so powerfully and through them ultimately serving myself. 

Where your focus goes the energy flows, and I have witnessed magic as a snowball… growing ever more powerful as it builds momentum. No longer do I shrug off events as mere coincidences but instead I appreciate and awe at the universe aligning with my intentions, putting me on a path so perfect yet so previously unknown. Intention is everything.

It has be a year of massive spiritual shift for me. I came out from behind my computer screen and began to create physical space for others to experience the power of mind-body connection. I recognised that I was not perfect, but nor did I need to be. I got curious and learnt to question everything and enjoy the journey without needing to understand the destination. I embraced the power of vulnerability and it’s deep connection with allowing others to reveal their vulnerability too. 

This year has clarified and strengthened my offering as a coach. This year has led me to people I would love to work with more and given me a greater understanding for seeing in clients those who are ‘a 10 for me’. Seeing the potential within. That curious spark. I will work with no-one less.

What will 2016 bring? Where will my intentions rest this coming year?

I want to create more magic- magic come from ‘being’ so much more than ‘doing'- being happens much more powerfully when surrounding by others creating a container for that experience.

I now deeply understand the power of ‘experiences’ and will strive to create more of those in as many ways as possible for as many people as possible throughout 2016. I have a few ideas but there is still so much unknown and I trust the universe that what will be is exactly what needs to be.

Above all else, I appreciate your continued support on this journey. It's a journey that is truly never ending and if I have helped serve you in any way at all this year, I would love for you to get in touch and let me know. Let me know how I could better serve you, or if you would like to have a conversation.  When I say I am there for you to help you shift perspective, get curious and live your optimum life, I truly mean it from the bottom of my heart. It is my deep wish that my own journey may, in some small way, resonate with and help inspire yours.

My wish for you in 2016 is that you question everything and always be curious.

Your 2015 'Dream Sheet'

Reflection and gratitude was a big part of this previous post as I looked back on my first year in business, but let's not simply reflect but also look ahead to our dreams for the coming year!

The biggest takeaway for me this last year? The importance of self care! As life ramps up and gets a little crazy, your self care practices need to follow the same tangent! You simply cannot live a life of optimal health otherwise.

I learnt this the hard way as I have suffered some digestive issues (low stomach acid through stress) and adrenal fatigue. It was a slow process and I wasn't aware of the extent of the impact until it was too late. BUT awareness is the key to change, and I am intent on re-structuring my life to allow for the self care I know I deserve- body and mind. I know it won't happen over night, but I am intent on exploring this over coming weeks and moths and hope that you will also share my journey.

2015 looks set to be equally and exciting and scary for me as both aspects of my business... coaching and Wholeplus take even bigger steps into the unknown. But i'll be ready!

Dreams are the essence of life, but it is only action that powers them forward into a reality. It is the action part that is often so scary and overwhelming. 

I wanted to create you a 'Dream Sheet' where you could document your goals and dreams and remind yourself throughout the year of your goals and keep yourself acceptable.  I was just about to design you one from scratch then I came across this beautiful version created by Emma Paxton. She has provided the graphic to be shared freely so I decided to share it with you all here.
