For many years I did choose a word to have in the forefront of my mind for the entire year. In 2022, my last chosen word was intention. It aligns with what I do as professional and who I am as a woman.
This year, I have decided to have a clear declaration.
I’m levelling up from a word and getting to the foundation of ‘why’ we choose a word — mindset.
My 2023 is a mindset reset. A clearing of 2022 and a renewal and a revisit of my goals and dreams.
A mindset that comes from the feelings, emotions and thoughts of being strong, healthy and vital. These words encompass a feeling we all want to have in our daily lives.
Our mind likes so many words and a mindset is truly many words accompanied by our behaviour (the action) of achieving what is sitting in our heart.
We are 5 days into 2023 and I’ve already had conversations with many people saying, “I want a change”, “I need a change”.
Change starts within us.
We don’t have to have everything figured out.
If we start with a mindset reset that is a great place to start.
In meditation, we often choose an activity called flow writing. Grab a pen and a piece of paper. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Write without stopping and see what your heart is yearning for. It’s a great activity and I’ve used it with many leaders from all levels.
In a time where you think you lack clarity, are feeling overwhelmed, are still reeling from the last two years, the answer you are searching for is inside you.
Heart-Centered Leadership comes from an aligned heart and mind. If the mind is racing and lacks clarity, motivation or desire, the lack of equanimity will interfere with alignment and then leaves an open space for ego to be present.
Words are words unless they have direction, intent and inner meaning.
Deeds are demonstrated through our behaviour.
Deeds over words.
Honour yourself.
You are worth it. 💜
