What's your favorite breakfast?
Healthy thought management can transform your whole life.
Do you have a favorite easy-to-make breakfast?
I love overnight oats. Most days it is oat milk, oats and berries.
My go-to flavor in the fall is pumpkin pie.
Bob’s Red Mill steel-cut oats, chia seeds, oat milk, and a swirl of pumpkin butter from Trader Joe’s. I mix it on Sunday, (no cooking needed!!!) and leave it in my fridge in mason jars. I top it with yogurt on the day I eat it. Sometimes I add fruit or nuts. Oh my- it is so good and makes me want to get up and start my day just to get to breakfast time.
However, one thing I have noticed is that every year around Christmas time, I no longer want pumpkin anything. Nothing changes, except my thoughts.
Pumpkin, in January? Nope.
If you spend time with me you know I am always talking about the power of thoughts. It is why I am a life coach. I think that one of the fundamental ingredients to living a brave, creative, purpose-filled life is thought management.
Healthy thought management can transform your whole life.
Did you know that you have complete authority over your own thoughts, feelings, and actions? You GET to decide to think about things that are true and life-giving.
The only way to claim this authority is to learn how to vigilantly supervise your own brain.
This is NOT EASY. Even for me.
Last night I had a few thoughts passing through my brain and I did not notice them until I recognized the feelings they create- terror.
My brain could easily write a season of any crime show.
It is why I have invested weekly in coaching for over 18 months. It takes work to manage my brain. Currently, I am in a coaching program that meets more than once a week.
My work this fall has been to discern what thoughts I want to keep. As the other thoughts are noticed, I am learning how to show up with compassion for myself. I have a human brain. I am doing the work that allows me to stop judging myself for feeling terror. I have heard it said, what we resist, persists.
So I am learning to notice, allow and practice new thoughts. I am trying things like speaking to my stomach- can you relax a little and breathe the stress out?
Learning and applying these tools has helped so many of the people in my coaching circles.
I know they can help you become brave, creative, and purpose-filled. Join us!
