What are you holding today that you need permission to let go? We all hold so much from day to day. We don't often tell others the details of what we are holding.
Maybe we should. Maybe we should give ourselves permission to share with others in our life what we are holding that we need help to let go. Maybe someone else is holding something equally big, and they needed permission from you. Maybe someone else is holding something that they too don't know how to let go and is looking to you for support. Maybe you are needing someone to walk with you in your letting go. Maybe you need the push to ask for help. Maybe you need a voice as much as the person next to you. So, today, pay attention. Look around you. Be a presence for others as much as they are presence to you.

We all get stuck in this mindset or thought pattern at one time or another. It is hard to escape when you are walking in your own struggles, pain, and challenges. Though that much more important to remind ourselves that we don't know anyone else's journey but our own. What is simple to you could be moving mountains for another. The smile you see on someone's face could be their greatest acting performance ever. Remember this when you approach people this time of year. Walk into humility and kindness. Be a light in someone's path.
This is one of my most favorite Greek words! It is so simple, but we take it for granted often. We have but one life to live. How are you living it? There is room for your passions among the responsibilities of life. You have to make the time and honor the presence of what makes your soul happy. And whatever your work may be whether it is your passion or your day to day, you still have the ability to leave a bit of you within it. You are valuable. What you have to offer others needs to be seen, heard, felt and embraced! Meraki!
Note to self...
Sounds easy enough. If you are anything like me or most people, you have post-it notes all around your desk and house with things to remember or do in the coming days. And I won't rub in the truth that we often can't even read our own writing for the constant barrage of reminders comes at us faster than we can take in. Where are you in that equation of reminders? Do you take time to remember yourself? Sometimes we need to take a moment and write a note ourselves. Life is busy and constant, not always will those around us stop to check in with you on your journey, but the reality is that we still need and want someone to do so. How about checking in with yourself? How about owning your journey and valuable time enough to check in with you? Today, write a note to yourself. Whether you need to remind yourself that you are going to be ok or if you need to remind yourself to pause, rest and take that moment to have a cup of tea; remember to leave notes around that you will find in the busy of your day to day. Trust me, it is one of my most favorite parts of the day when I find a note I wrote to myself, and it is even more wonderful as I give myself permission to follow through with it. What will you write? This is not a new topic. It is a topic that we need to continue coming back to often. Words are powerful. We know this. If you asked anyone around you right now, I could promise that they will tell you a story where someone's poor use of words wounded or changed the course of their life. They could likely tell you how their own use of words in their mind self-sabotaged a positive direction they were heading. Words can be uplifting, but in their worst moments can be damaging. How are you being conscious of what you speak to others, to yourself and to the world? Yes, words can focus us to live the road we choose, or they can get inside our mind and allow us to fall into every single pothole. It isn't always as easy we would hope, but we must continue to challenge any word that comes at us and any word that we present to ourselves. Take back your mind; take back your self-worth and embrace the words that you need to live fully in your life!
