Last week, I went on vacation with my husband and three adult daughters. We spent time resting well, having fun together and connecting. I’m intentionally applying all I am teaching in my summer series to my personal life, and I’m dragging my family along for the ride. So far it’s working really well!
For example, I took many pictures of the flowers that were blooming. I’m in a season of focusing on the word “flourishing” - in my life, in my business, and in my relationships. I noticed the flourishing that was evident in every garden I walked past.
Did you know that once our brain has a thought, it often finds evidence that the thought is true? If you buy a red Kia, you may notice all the red Kia’s on the road. Because the word “flourishing” is at the forefront of my thoughts currently, I couldn’t help but notice the flourishing in nature around me. And it brought me great joy.
I think that being the best version of yourself is another type of flourishing, and is extremely important.
However, it doesn’t happen automatically. And It’s not easy. We must take ownership and be intentional or it simply won’t happen.
And flourishing doesn’t mean always feeling happy or ONLY having good things happen.
In other words, I encourage you to resist “Toxic Positivity”, which is “the belief that no matter how dire or difficult a situation is, people should maintain a positive mindset” (https://www.verywellmind.com/).
Life is actually 50/50, and pretending otherwise is not healthy.
Living with a healthy soul means it is essential to care for our soul and to live in reality & not pretend “everything is awesome”.
Having a healthy soul does NOT mean pretending you are happy when you are not, or producing positive social media posts to make it seem that way. The coaching I have invested in has helped me learn this skill and I want to help you.
I am so proud of the community I have been cultivating.
I would love to have you join us in July & August for sessions 4-6 of Soul Care & Sunshine.
In the meantime, I am offering a workshop on Wednesday, July 6th at noon and again at 7 pm.
It is only $29.00 and is a great first step for anyone who is ready to flourish. Want to hear more about it? Click here to join us at noon on July 6th, or the second option of Juny 6th 7pm and I will send the details :)
If my summer workshop and SoulCare series are not for you, but you have a friend in mind, I encourage you to invite them to join my FB group-I’ll have all the details there!
Cheering for you,
Kelly
