✨ Recently I have been thinking about approaching different aspects of my life as ✨ Meditations in Generosity ✨.

✨ To be clear, I am not much of a proper meditation person, so maybe I’m using the phrase to sound cool to myself, but it’s a way of changing a loathed activity from one of tension into openness.

✨ Take this photo for instance… Do I want to play rummikub with my Alzheimer’s mom for the 148th day in a row? Absolutely not.

✨ But when I sit down with her with the purpose of trying on generosity, I have the chance to watch myself become the version of myself that I most aspire to be. (I am an only child and generosity is not native to my character, so this is my evolutionary edge).

✨ This is the same when I do things for my partner or children that I am not excited to do. (Picture drying snow gear for the 5th day in a row).

✨ This isn’t me virtue signaling, or gratitude spackling, or toxic positivity. This is me coming to terms with the fact that within the realm of my own life decisions, I have the choice to be resentful about caring for my mom as I am raising my own kids, or to see this as a further flexing of the muscle of generosity.

✨ And these Meditations in Generosity have become their own gift over time…

✨ Where are your meditations?

✨ Fall brings a new chapter! Expanded hours for coaching now that the kids are back to school. ✏️

✨ Curious about how to expand your internal capacity for facing tricky life situations? Let’s chat!

✨ Often we get locked into our narratives about a certain situation that feels negative, and we stop being able to see that our story is just one of many possible angles.

✨ In those moments when we feel stuck, consider trying out this line of inquiry: “What if it’s possible that this is FOR me? For my learning, for my growth, and for my ultimate benefit?”

✨ I’m not saying we should swing into toxic positivity land, but rather, try to bend our brains a little bit, keep them supple, and less attached to our version of our painful story.

✨ The goal is not for us to bypass and skip over the tricky parts of our life, but sometimes loosening up on our story gives us just a bit of relief from the intense emotional hold it has on us.

✨ Here are my kids, celebrating my mom’s birthday this weekend! She still lives on her own, but she has Alzheimer’s, and increasingly she is needing support.

✨ One of the things that has helps me to navigate this trickiness is deciding years ago that I am a very Good Daughter. This is something I coach on a lot, and I think it is worth talking about.

✨ We are raised in families, faiths, and cultures that sometimes explicitly, and sometimes implicitly, tell us what it looks like to be a Good Daughter (or a Good Son), by enumerating the many things we “should” do, say and think.

✨ But do you know that there is actually no universal agreement for what that looks like? At some point, somebody just MADE THAT SH*T UP.

✨ And if we are not careful, we end up using our cultural messaging as a weapon against ourselves, by being mean to ourselves if we don’t check those invisible boxes.

✨ So I have decided to scrap it, and decide that I am already a really Good Daughter. I am mindful, and I love my mother. I don’t know everything, and I will make mistakes, but I am going to trust that at each juncture I will make decisions with the best information I can get, and from a good place in my heart.

✨ And I’ve decided that’s enough for me.

✨ Ever had an aha! realization that you just know could make some mega changes in your life, but it doesn’t? Time creeps on, and you feel like you’re slipping back into old patterns and you just can’t honor the aha! moment?

✨ Welcome to the club. I think it’s super relatable! Neutral superhighways of thought and behavior that were laid decades ago, and have been practiced regularly, are not easily budged.

✨ Do you want to know where to start shifting? Just learn to be an observer. Observe yourself in that situation, without judgment, and see where that gets you. Just the act of being more aware of how the pattern plays out will give you some crucial insight.

✨ Be curious. Ask yourself: why is this thing so triggering for me? Where is the point at which I feel like I’m giving up my power and can’t step out of this pattern? What is the meaning I’m giving to the situation, that makes my practiced response feel so necessary?

✨ Sometimes I get down on myself about having a small business. I wonder if it’s adding much to the world.

✨ But this week on a coaching call I used the final page of a legal pad, and as I brought out a fresh one, I realized that over the short lifespan of my business, I have filled four legal pads.

✨ Four legal pads filled with notes, teaching, thought models, insights, my client’s beliefs and their own wisdom.

✨ Four legal pads that reflect a lot of truth telling, and aha moments, and healing.

✨ Whew! Okay. This is giving me life this week!

✨ If your worthiness is already complete, and you are 100% lovable exactly as you are, who do you want to be?

✨ If there are no objective external measures to hold yourself to and your worthiness is a done deal, what do you want to believe? Who do you want to be?

✨ Especially if we lean towards perfectionism, we want to set up every new move with precision, and wait until every chance of a failure is null before we do anything bold.

✨ But confidence does not come from being able to control every outcome.

✨ Confidence comes from a deep knowledge that we have the strategies we need in order to cope with the discomfort that will come up along the way of moving towards our most aligned selves.

✨ Even when it’s sloppy. Even when someone is disappointed in us. Even when we fumble it because we are trying something new.

✨ Without fail, there comes a point with every coaching client of mine, where this comes up.

✨ This feeling of being stuck in our life circumstances happens to all of us.

✨ So I give you all permission today to quit everything. Quit your jobs, your family, your kids, every single responsibility you have. Imagine yourself walking around completely free of everything and with zero obligations.

✨ What would you opt back into, willingly and freely? Or what would you opt back into, because you can find loving reasons for doing so, even if it’s not your favorite?

✨ New Year…. Still the same you?

✨ Sometimes having someone whose EXACT job it is to hold an hour of space for you each week, so that you can move in the direction of that life that you most want to create, is the most priceless thing you could imagine.

✨ Why aren’t we talking yet?
