Sacred Leadership’s Post

Happy Fri-YAY!!! As we begin the weekend, here’s some food for thought to consider! Many use the phrase “What if…” to justify inaction, stagnation and complacency, “What if I fail?”, “What if nobody buys my product?”, “What if I take that job and it is overwhelming?”, and so on. What if is not in itself a bad question to ask, IF you put a positive spin on it, a pragmatic approach to what you could do to actually achieve your goals, dreams and vision. “What if I read a book a month on leadership? What if I actually worked out 4 times a week consistently? What if I ate healthy for the next month? What if I took that course on effective communication?  Using what if to ask yourself to ponder a scenario where the outcome would be positive is much more productive and proactive approach to achievements you desire! Remember your 4 R’s for the weekend, reflect, refresh, rejuvenate and relax! Hope your week has been filled with positivity and happiness! Keep it real! #warriorleadership #leadership #warrior #lead #leader #leading #kerrybrown #positivity #optimism #gratitude #thankful #grateful #perspective #mind #body #spirit #blackbelt #blackbeltmentality #brucelee #jeetkunedo #jkd #health #mindset #blackbeltmindset #optimism #wellness #mentalhealth #joy #happiness #love #live #life #greatness #great #iconic #zen #wisdom #adapt #evolve #adpatability #flow #grow #change #learn #Fiday #Friyay #happyfriday #happyfriyay #weekend #Fridaythought #present #presentmoment #happy #keepitreal #growth #zen #wisdom #worth #selfworth #weekendvibes #whatif

Thoughtful Friday: A Moment to Reflect Welcome to Thoughtful Friday, a space for reflection, growth, and inspiration as you head into the weekend. Each Friday, we’ll share something meaningful to help you reflect on your personal journey—whether it’s about life, leadership, balance, or connection. We believe that taking time to pause and think deeply can spark personal growth and foster a stronger sense of purpose. This week’s reflection comes from Brené Brown’s “The Gifts of Imperfection”. We often strive for perfection, but it’s in embracing our flaws and vulnerabilities that we find our most authentic selves. Courage comes from owning our imperfections. Compassion grows when we extend the kindness we need to ourselves and others. And connection thrives when we allow ourselves to be seen as we truly are—not perfect, but real. As you head into the weekend, think about the gifts that come from your own imperfections. How can embracing them help you grow, connect, and live more authentically? #WeareLunaCap #Connection #Courage #Compassion #EmbraceImperfection

"The Quiet Power of Showing Up" Imagine this: Your team has just wrapped up a challenging project. The pressure has been immense, deadlines looming like storm clouds. Yet, amidst the whirlwind, you quietly show up — not with grand speeches, but with presence. You notice the junior team member struggling with self-doubt. You sit with them, ask a simple, “How are you holding up?” and listen. No big gestures, no buzzwords — just listening. Later, when the results are celebrated, the loud applause is for the numbers. But what your team remembers most? The quiet moments when you stood by them. Leadership isn’t always loud. It’s in the waiting, the noticing, and the small acts that say, “I’m here, and you matter.” This idea inspired my latest blog: The Quiet Power of Showing Up. It’s a reflection on how small, meaningful actions — in life and leadership — create the biggest impact. ✨ Dive into the full story here: https://lnkd.in/gpawqByn What’s one quiet act of leadership that’s inspired you? Let’s hear your story! #LeadershipStories #ShowUp #EmpathyInLeadership #QuietPower #LeadershipMatters #Resilience #Teamwork #Storytelling #neelimabushpala

Leadership isn’t always about serious meetings and tough decisions—it’s about creating moments of joy too. Today’s challenge: Find yourself a laugh. That deep, belly-shaking, tear-streaming kind of laugh that reminds you why life is worth celebrating. Better yet, throw on your favorite song and dance like nobody’s watching (because chances are, no one is—or if they are, they’ll join in). Why? Because when you lead with joy, you inspire others to do the same. Laughter and energy are contagious—bring that mindset to your team, your family, your life. Let loose today. Laugh. Dance. Repeat. Tag someone who could use a reminder to shake off the stress and feel alive. #VisionFuel #LeadershipWithJoy #DanceLikeNoOnesWatching #FindYourLaugh #ElevateEveryday

Happy Friday! I'm choosing joy and ease today. What would you like to choose? To choose means to decide. Deciding means that, even in the face of unforeseen challenges, you stay grounded in that choice. Ease meant taking a long, slow run with the sunrise this morning. Ease means packing a bigger bag for an upcoming trip rather than stressing over cramming it into a carry on. Joy means playing music I like while my kids complain about picking up after themselves. Joy means asking myself "what is the good in this situation?" before I allow my mind to default to the negative. So much of how our day feels can be swayed by what we choose. Have your choices been aligned with how you want to feel? If not, try it out today. Set your intention, make the decision to live from that place today, and each time you make a choice about how to feel, how to respond, or who to be, make the choice based on your intention. If making intentional choices is a struggle for you, know that I am here if you want help. Comment below and let me know how it goes! #leadership #mindset #burnoutprevention

Have you ever felt like your schedule is just too packed to add anything else, even if it’s for your own well-being? 🕒 I’m here to tell you that it can be simpler than you think. Starting with just 10 minutes a day for a gratitude practice helped transform my life from the inside out. At first, I was skeptical. But now, writing down five things I’m grateful for every morning has become a non-negotiable ritual. 📝✨ This small daily habit didn’t just change my outlook—it revolutionized the way I lead and love. It’s about setting the tone for your day, focusing your mind on what’s positive, and grounding your actions in gratitude. 👉 What’s one small thing you could start doing today to live more intentionally? Maybe it’s jotting down your own list of gratitudes, taking a short walk to clear your mind, or just sitting quietly with your coffee before diving into your emails. Share in the comments how you can introduce a slice of intentionality into your life. Let’s inspire each other to make meaningful changes, one small step at a time! 💬🌱 #TheJoyCEO #IntentionalLiving #GratitudePractice #Leadership #MindsetShift

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗜𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝘂𝗽? Imagine you’re holding a cup of coffee, and someone bumps into you, spilling it everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? Most of us would say, “𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗅” But the truth is, you spilt the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. If there had been tea, you’d have spilt tea. The same goes for life. When challenges shake us (and they WILL), whatever is inside us spills out. It’s easy to pretend until life rattles us. 𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝗽? When things get tough, does joy, peace, forgiveness and gratitude flow out? Or do anger, bitterness, and frustration take over? 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗽, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝘁. Today, let’s focus on filling our cups with resilience, kindness, gratitude, positivity and forgiveness because that’s what will spill out when life bumps us. 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Let’s spread positivity! Happy New Week! ______________ If this spoke to you, ♻️ Repost to share with others.

I'll never forget the day I realized I was just going through the motions. I was stuck in a rut, feeling unfulfilled and disconnected from my purpose. I was so focused on checking tasks off my to-do list that I forgot to take care of myself and align my actions with my values. But then something shifted. I started taking a few minutes each morning to reflect on what's truly important to me. I asked myself: "What kind of person do I want to be today?" I thought about my values, my goals, and my relationships. And slowly but surely, things started to change. I became more intentional with my time and energy. I prioritized self-care and self-reflection. I started showing up with purpose and kindness, and it made all the difference. Now, I want to share this lesson with you. Before diving into your busy day, take a moment to prepare your mind and heart. Ask yourself: "What kind of person do I want to be today?" Reflect on your values, goals, and relationships. Be intentional with your time and energy. Remember, it's not just about getting things done; it's about living a life that aligns with who you are and what you stand for. Let's show up with purpose, integrity, and kindness, and make today count. #mindfulness #intentional living #valuesbased leadership #purpose driven #kindnessmatters"

Be Your Own Sunshine! Why Inner Cheerleading Matters Most. Let's talk about the naysayers. We all have them – those voices, internal or external, that whisper doubt and discouragement. Here's the truth, friends: you can't control them, but you absolutely control your reaction. "Inner strength is the quiet courage that emerges even when the world seems to be falling apart around you." This strength fuels your self-encouragement. Consider this: ➟ Who are your biggest cheerleaders? Are you on the list? ➟ What story are you telling yourself? Is it empowering, or riddled with negativity? ➟ How often do you let others' opinions affect you? Can you remain positive despite their negativity? "Your self-worth is not a reflection of others' opinions but a testament to your resilience and strength." "Rejection is redirection. It might not be the path you envisioned, but it could lead you exactly where you need to be." Reframe setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow. We must be our own encouragement, our own source of positivity. This does not mean disregarding the opinions of others, but rather understanding that our self-worth is not dependent on their validation. "When others aim to diminish you, rise above and become your own source of positivity." Here's the magic: When you become your own source of unwavering positivity, it becomes contagious. "Shine so brightly that negativity simply can't keep up." Focus On This Today! "Be the beacon of positive energy you wish to see in the world." Ready to drown out the noise and embrace your inner cheerleader? Share your tips and experiences in the comments below! Let's inspire each other to rise above. #selfencouragement #positivity #selfbelief #growthmindset #leadership

Are you willing to do the hard things that set you free to fully and authentically show up as your true self? Do I think this is an appropriate post for LinkedIn? Absolutely! The daily and weekly practices that I have chose to lean into, continue to help me in all areas of my life. My journey of embracing my true self at work has profoundly impacted me. It's not just about me- it's about the ripple effect it has had on those around me. By sharing my experiences, I've inspired others to do the same. This approach to leadership, rooted in authenticity, has opened up new possibilities for me and those I work with. As I continue my journey to truly living in my truth in all areas of my life, I can still get stuck in those 6 inches between my ears where I battle myself.  That battle comes from how I have been conditioned throughout my 40-plus years of living. These thoughts, shaped by my past experiences, used to serve me, but most of these thoughts today keep me small and are not aligned with who I am. It is mind-blowing what WE keep ourselves from in this world. One of the best practices that I have been using to work through this is breathwork. I had walked into my class last week with a busy and ugly mind around a challenge I had been facing at work. I had set an intention for this class to help me see this situation differently. I had such a profound experience in this class that reminded me of my truth and what I have to offer those around me. It was the reminder to keep showing up, to be willing to adjust and to be flexible, and people sometimes go through things we know nothing about. I left free of that challenge and a new perspective on how I can be of service or a guiding light to others. Don't dim your light; stay in your truth, and be willing to rethink and be flexible. I would love to hear what you are doing to allow yourself to be your authentic self at work. What are those daily practices you are doing? What are you struggling with today? #breathwork #authenticity #authenticleadership
