Your work is what you do, not who you are. ✨ Instead of saying, “I am a coach or I am a Salesforce Consultant,” I get to say “I support my clients as a coach/consultant.” There’s a significant difference in the details. Being able to separate my identity as my work was one of the biggest challenges for me years ago, but so worth it to have my mental health and harmony as my priority now over my job, which allows me to show up even better these days. 💕 #mindset #success #boundaries #empowerment

👉1-Minute Tip: Stop what you're doing, take a deep breath, and remember one experience outside of work that makes you feel good. #mindfulnessatwork #personaldevelopment #motivation #mindfulness #inspiration #selfhelp

When identity is tied to a specific job or profession and that changes, which is so much more common now, it can feel like our identity has been stripped away and the uncertainty that comes with that can feel so heavy. After being in the same field for 17 years and then changing careers three times in the last 3 years, I've learned (the hard way, of course) that no job, title, or organization, is what creates my worth and value - that's an inside job. From this point forward, that is, and will be, the bedrock from which I live. My goal is to continuously evolve as I move through this life, and that should be no different in the professional arena. #change #identity #evolution #keepitmoving

🌿 Happy Wellness Wednesday, lovely souls! 🌿 Today, let's talk about the beautiful art of embracing your whole self, wherever life takes you. In a world where we often feel defined by our professions or our past traumas, it's crucial to remember that these are just facets of who we are, not the entirety of our being. Your job title doesn't encapsulate your essence. Whether you're a doctor, a teacher, an artist, or a stay-at-home parent, your worth extends far beyond the tasks you perform. Your true essence lies in the unique blend of experiences, passions, quirks, and dreams that make you YOU. Similarly, your traumas, though they may have shaped parts of your journey, don't define your entirety. They are chapters in your story, not the conclusion. Each scar, each struggle, each moment of adversity has contributed to the tapestry of your life, but they don't overshadow the beauty of your spirit. What truly sets you aglow is your authenticity. It's the courage to show up as your genuine self, unapologetically and wholeheartedly, in every aspect of your life. It's embracing your imperfections, honoring your vulnerabilities, and celebrating your strengths without reservation. So, as you navigate through the myriad roles and responsibilities that life presents, remember this: you are not limited by any single label or experience. You are an ever-evolving masterpiece, a symphony of laughter and tears, of victories and defeats, of hopes and fears. Today, let's make a conscious effort to bring our whole selves wherever we go. Let's infuse our interactions with kindness, our endeavors with passion, and our moments with presence. Because what truly makes you YOU is simply the beautiful, authentic, and irreplaceable essence of your being. Embrace it, cherish it, and let it shine brightly for the world to see. 🌟 #WellnessWednesday #Authenticity #EmbraceYourself

When you work in corporate you arrange with Facilities Management for a replacement chair. Entrepreneurs buy and assemble their own. Talk of wearing many hats 🤭 #entrepreneurship

If all of these types of people end up being “wrong” — meaning their approaches don’t lead to positive outcomes or align with reality — it would be a tough but valuable lesson. Sometimes, people who are inspired, passionate, motivated, grateful, and open-minded can be misguided, or their qualities may blind them to critical flaws in their thinking or actions. Here’s what could happen and how to learn from it: 1. The Inspired Inspiration can sometimes become tunnel vision. People may become so captivated by their ideas that they overlook practical limitations or feedback. You might witness them taking on impractical goals, risking burnout or even failure. From this, you could learn the importance of balancing inspiration with critical thinking and grounded realism. 2. The Passionate Passion without focus or flexibility can turn into stubbornness. You may have seen cases where passionate individuals push for ideas despite signs they aren’t viable. While passion fuels perseverance, it’s valuable to temper it with the willingness to pivot when things aren’t working. This would highlight for you the importance of balancing passion with adaptability and reflection. 3. The Motivated Motivation is powerful, but if it’s not directed by clear values or purpose, it can lead to actions that are more about achievement for achievement’s sake. Seeing motivated individuals pursue goals without understanding the “why” behind them can remind you to stay connected to meaningful objectives and not just outcomes. 4. The Grateful Gratitude is crucial, but if it turns into complacency or acceptance of negative conditions, it can become limiting. If grateful people settle or tolerate less-than-ideal situations, it could be a reminder that gratitude is best combined with a sense of agency and aspiration to improve circumstances, rather than simply accepting them. 5. The Open-Minded Open-mindedness without discernment can lead to a lack of conviction or direction. If these people keep experimenting without sticking to any decision, it could create chaos and dilute progress. This would illustrate that open-mindedness should be balanced with a clear sense of principles and a willingness to commit. In short, if all of these people are “wrong,” it would emphasize that qualities we value are best when balanced with critical thinking, adaptability, purpose, agency, and discernment.
