A Gift is waiting for you...

As we approach Mother's day I want to talk about menopause. I know what you're thinking...why on earth would I want to remind every woman out there about menopause on Mother's Day?! Hear me out...

Menopause certainly gets a bad rap most of the time. Between hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, low libido, you name it...most everything we hear about this period of life is not positive. But I wanted to shine a beautiful light on one of the gifts that this moment of life brings to women. It's the "I don't give a crap" gift. There is a wonderful shift in hormones that occurs during perimenopause that enables women to stop worrying about what other people think. We finally get to put aside all those opinions, comparisons and worries and start listening to ourselves. What an empowering gift! It got me thinking, what would you do today if you didn't have to worry about anyone else's opinions, schedules or well-being? 

This doesn't mean you aren't a loving spouse, mother, daughter or friend. I'm just asking you to give yourself permission to put everyone else's baggage aside for a moment and find out what it is you really want.

Maybe you want...

• A new career?

• To lose weight?

• Meet new people?

• Learn a new hobby or skill?

• More alone time?

• A nap?

• More love (including self love)

  
  

It's that thing that's been sitting just below the surface, reluctant to come up for fear of current obligations or opinions. Maybe you're so wrapped up in taking care of others that you don't know what it is you really want. If that's you, start to pay attention to your daydreams, oftentimes they are your inner self trying to tell you something. 

We shouldn't need to wait until menopause to enjoy this gift. You can do this at any time. Maybe you dream of owning your own business one day. Maybe you're a recent empty nester who wants to get into better shape. Whatever your situation, you can start to change. What small thing can you do each day to move in that direction? What can you give up today in order to free up time, energy or finances to start working towards this dream?

Think you don't have the time or energy to do this? Ask yourself where your 24 hours go every day...and BE HONEST WITH YORUSELF. Could any of that time be redirected to align you more towards your goal? There are so many small choices we make every day that either move us towards our goals or away from them. Your job is to be present enough to notice these choices and choose the ones that are in alignment with your dreams. It takes getting out of our habitual patterns to notice most of these decisions, but once you pay attention, you'll see that everything is connected.

I'd love to hear what your dreams are! Sometimes it takes putting them out in the Universe for things to shift. Don't worry about anyone else - what is it you really want? Send me an email and start moving in that right direction! I'd love to hold space for your dream to come alive.

Your worth it,
