Creating my future in 2020 was made possible by an investment in personal growth in 2019.
2020 was the year I tenaciously launched a coaching business during one of the most difficult years in America’s history. From the beginning I saw the lockdowns and the “Corona Coaster” as a blessing, allowing me time to create my future.
What led up to 2020 was also a blessing in disguise.
When I closed my antique store Flown The Coop in November 2018, I sold everything, including all the fixtures, not knowing what the future held. I watched little pieces of my dream go to help build the big dreams of new shop owners. The whole process was bitter sweet.
It was pure determination to correct my course in 2019 that influenced me to attend two Tony Robbins events and enroll in the Life Coach School to become a certified life coach. Those brave steps forward healed my broken heart and allowed me to build something new.
As I look back, 2020 created a solid foundation for my new career as a life coach. I wrote 44 blog articles, coached several women through the storms of midlife and solidified my commitment to my future self.
Year in review
This week I will share some of my favorite blog articles from 2020. It was hard, but I narrowed it down to a blog article each day, with a bonus blog I think you need for 2021. I don’t normally toot my own horn, but I can’t help but be proud of myself as I look over a year of consistently creating content. I truly hope that I have inspired you this year and helped you believe your best years are ahead.
Monday – A Future Created From The Future
It may appear to be pointing out the obvious, but the future is in the future and not the past.
Life is just getting started for me. I’m currently writing the next chapter of my story with a future focus.
This past weekend my Grandma Maggie would have celebrated her 100th birthday. She missed the milestone by only 2 years. I turn 50 years young this March. By her standard, I have another 50 to live! {BTW: I turned 50 in March of 2020… that’s a whole other story}
You are either creating from your past or your future…
Tuesday – Busting Midlife Myths
Could it be possible that you have accepted common midlife myths as reality?
It occurred to me the other day that there are some common midlife myths accepted as truth. What if they were simply not true?
A few myths worth busting…
Wednesday – Get To Know Her
Do you ever wonder what your future self will look like and feel uncertain what she even wants, but on the other hand… you desperately want to believe the best years are ahead?
In this article I offer four ways to get to know your future self.
Thursday – What If Your Dream Was Measured In Miles?
What if your dreams are measured in miles? At what mile marker do you let the dream die?
I explain the determination of a weed and the grace you need for your dreams, then offer three ways to navigate the extra miles.
Friday – Reject Ageism
Have you heard the term ageism? You may not have experienced anything akin to discrimination, but you might have used it against yourself by buying into stereotypes. Have you ever limited yourself because of your age? It is a sneaky thing we do to ourselves when celebrating certain birthdays.
I prefer ageless. “To be ageless is to defy the rules of what it supposedly means to be this age or that,” Dr. Christiane Northrup.
I offer three ways to reject ageism.
Saturday – Four Things I Ditched For An Epic Midlife Pivot
A midlife pivot is another way of expressing a need to reboot & reclaim your life. Midlife women experience this urge to pivot as they face an empty nest, a COVID downsize, a recent divorce or the anticipation of retirement. Can you relate?
“There is nothing more powerful or radical or stunningly, radiantly beautiful than a woman who chooses to rebuild her life. Day after day, hour after hour, no matter how many mistakes she must now spin into gold.” ~ Cara Alwill Leyba
In this article I offer four things you should ditch for an epic midlife pivot.
Sunday – Unabashedly Love Your Life
Do you love your life? I mean unabashedly love life?
Do you want to?
I am a cockeyed optimist with uncommon energy. This is NOT my natural state, but one I am cultivating. I choose to BE.
In this article I share a project that had an impact on falling in love with my life. I knew this creative project would be easy for me. I journal everyday and am crystal clear on my dreams. What I didn’t realize was how my heart would be affected.
The Bonus
Next to my vision video, journaling has had the most impact on my growth from 2018 – 2020. I think it is so important for your journey too. I could not do a year in review without including my recent article, Four Journal Prompts That Will Propel You Past Your Resistance.
If you want to create lasting change in your life, it is important to understand the three w’s: what, where and why. Next to hiring a life coach, a daily journal habit is the best tool to help you get clear on what you want, where you currently are, and why you want the ideal life you envision. My four favorite journal prompts can help you past any resistance.
