NEW YOU!! NO WAY!!

Hey it’s Jenn from Heart of Wellness Coaching!  Happy New Year!  I know a lot of us are making resolutions and promising to change our ways right now but I want to jump right in and challenge your way of thinking!  So, new year, new you is always the motto, right?  What if I told you, according to me, that is the WORST thing you can do to yourself right now?  Would you believe me?  You would say, “But, Jenn, I have so many things I want to change from last year!”  I know, you fell off the good nutrition wagon, you stopped exercising, you forgot to meditate these last couple of months, okay, I get it but what if I told you can make positive changes by loving yourself right where you are, right now?  What if I told you that just the thought of judging all over yourself, is the exact thought that is going to sabotage all your good intentions?  Do I have your attention?  Great!  So let’s start with “I love myself and accept myself for where I am in my journey!”  This IS your journey!  And maybe you have created the same exact trip around the sun day in and day out for years but that’s ok!!  Believe it or not, every step is progress! Everything that happens in life happens FOR you!  If you keep repeating the same patterns, it’s because you haven’t REALLY been ready to move and guess what, that’s ok!!  Maybe this is the time it will all stick and you’ll feel great about your progress or maybe you’ll backslide again but trust me when I say, it is NEVER starting over!!!  You always learn something from your journey.  There is always a tid bit here and there that sticks with you.  I know because these last couple of months have held a ton of personal challenges for me.  I have been shaking up where I am in life, education, self-love and acceptance.  I know I have been very quiet here while I continued to grow and change but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t learned so much in my hibernation!  I am learning all about me and where I am now!  It is a never-ending process.  I am not the same person who passed her International Coaching Boards a few years ago, I have grown, I have learned and yes, I have even slid what may seem as backwards at times but I never stopped growing!  You have never stopped growing!  So, I challenge you to look at the past year as happening FOR YOU, not to you and see where that takes you!  Sit with this thought and think, “what can I learn about my patterns?”  I think you’ll find it pretty powerful!  Change your thoughts and change your life!  No need for a new you!  You are wonderful just the way you are!
