The season of harvest is upon, and just as the leaves and weather shifts so can your mind set. At a certain point, It’s necessary. It’s an opportunity to ground yourself in gratitude for the seeds you’ve sown thus far. An opportunity to grieve what never was and what now is gone. And an opportunity to grow giving yourself grace as you navigate the changes. Remember that planting, pruning, and propagating are part of the cycle of growth. You are right where you need to be….in season.

6 months through 2025. We made it! Have you celebrated all that you’ve accomplished or even made it through thus far? Or have you been hung up on things that didn’t work out or you’ve yet to do. I know in these uncertain times, it can be challenging to focus on anything other than the fate of the people in this country and our democracy. But for a minute, shift your focus to the things you can control. You have 6 more months to figure it out. 6 months to get it done. 6 months to pivot if necessary. But for now, just take a minute to honor the seeds planted and taking root up to this point. Yes humility is important but so is celebration. Doesn’t take much and doesn’t take long. Slow down and spend some time in gratitude and appreciation for all your efforts. In whatever area. Whether it be personal or professional. Minor or major. Internal or external. You deserve to celebrate you. So stop making everyone else the main character of your story, and focus on you the rest of the year, and beyond.

Remember:
Show up.
Be present.
Honor your efforts.
Focus on you

I’m proud of you. Keep going!

🌿J-U-N-E🌿

Growth and healing isn’t always blatantly visible. And just because no one really sees it doesn’t mean its’ not happening. Like the roots of plants, growth can be quiet, steady, and powerful. Seeds take root underground to anchor and nourish the plant. You and your growth are no different. Let this be a reminder to you to focus on your foundation and be rooted in things that nourish you during this season. Be conscious of your emotions by checking in with how you’re feeling and what you need. Be consistent with one habit that supports your wellbeing. Be compassionate with yourself, honoring each small step as a step towards progress. You don’t need to have all the things figured out but be being grounded and anchored is essential for forward movement. So let me know, what are you anchored in?
