See Ya January!
We’re in the final days of January – how did everyone do? For me personally, it was like a rollercoaster ride. Some days were slow, others were busy, throw in a few cancelled plans, kids schooling at home and no social life but… I count my blessings daily that I’m healthy and alive with 10 fingers, 10 toes, a sound mind (most days), people around me to experience life and love with and most of all I AM STILL IN BUSINESS. As much as I could complain about a schedule that wasn't as full as some weeks, the mere fact that my doors have remained open, is a blessing to me.
As many of you know, this year I branched off on my own and started "Elevate: The Podcast”. If you haven't listened yet, what are you waiting for?!? I share this because there is an episode coming out on Monday talking about ways we can ELEVATE ourselves - this year and every year. We get stuck in the routine of calling January a depressing month, but what is it around you and in your mindset that makes you view it that way? If we shift our perspectives around in certain situations, we can always find the light. When I create these episodes, I’m sometimes preaching to myself. You guys are all so close to my heart, you’re my community and elevate family so it’s important for me to share some encouraging thoughts with you.
Between the podcasts, these blog posts and having you in my chair, you have no idea how much of an outlet it is for me. I know January has been hard, people have lost loved ones, lost their identity, faced confusion, health scares, feel frustrated, hopeless, but in the words of Holly Firtick, “It is easier to stay stuck in that but if we choose the "simple" act of switching our perspective, it can be very rewarding.”
I know it’s easier said than done, it can be difficult to simply switch our perspective but the more we practice and manifest what we want to accomplish, the easier it’ll become. It’s much easier to remain in your comfort zone rather than try something new but with it comes great benefits long term.
There were three steps she gave that I found helpful…
Accept - don't feel ashamed for where you are and the decisions you made, today is the starting place for true change.
Ask for help - hiding and pretending you're okay is easy, but it’s simple to call a friend (or talk to your fav stylist).
Act - take the steps to get out of the old thinking patterns and truly create the change.
Again, this may not seem "easy", but it sure is simple.
I have laughed and cried with so many of you, I am here for you. I love you guys so much and you all have a special place in my heart.
