Let's gooooooo! Newsletter Week 4

How do we make this a good morning, everyone?

How do we take yet another Monday and start it with a “Let’s gooooo!” attitude?

The real answer is we can’t always do this right away. We are human. That said, we can find meaning in the day and reframe. 

Adjust. Reframe. Allow. 

Yesterday, I was hit suddenly with an overwhelming sense of loneliness. It was so strong it nearly knocked me over. 

But for the first time in my life, I did something different. I sat in it. I realized it was merely an emotion and just sat with the feeling. 

It was uncomfortable. 

But I didn’t beat myself up. I didn’t get angry. I felt it. I just allowed. 

And it passed. 

So, I wake up on this Monday morning with fresh energy and a loving, compassionate perspective about life. 

Think about this today when you have a feeling you don’t like. When it hurts, even. When it feels uncomfortable, and you want to run from it— don’t. 

These life experiences and lessons help me put meaning to what I do and why I do it every day. They help me lead with empathy and resilience. 

I’m so keyed into all my feelings, I could absolutely see this as a negative or a hindrance. But I refuse to do that. Not anymore. 

My emotions - my intensity, my ability to feel at the depths I do - make me...me. They give my life richness and meaning. They remind me of the impact I’m here to make daily. They remind me of my purpose and my essence. 

And I share all this with you today for this reason. To be vulnerable and show you I’m the sensitive human soul you’ve come to know me to be. That even I don’t wake up every Monday morning raring to go. That life isn’t always so easy. 

But I will practice resilience. I will reframe and I will make today a good one. I will let uncomfortable feelings pass and I will allow.

I will bring myself back to my company’s and my core values. 

Love. 

Freedom. 

Perseverance. 

Trust. 

Truth. 

I will close my eyes and think about my clients and companies we are helping to find their authentic selves today. They need me and I need them. They are my meaning and my purpose. I must lean in. 

Adjust. Reframe. Allow. 

And just like that, “Let’s gooooooo!”
