Good things grow from what you plant
|
A few months ago, we planted a little garden. I didn’t go into it with high hopes, seeing as how I’ve kept a total of 2 plants alive . . ever. One of my neighbours who keeps a nice garden did assure me, “the worst that can happen is they die and you buy new ones, they’re cheap.” That’s the kind of motivational encouragement I needed to get started. At first, it was mostly soil and unfounded hope. But now 6 weeks later nothing has died, we’ve got bees, butterflies, and ladybugs making themselves at home. It’s like the garden quietly sent out an invitation. This week I’ve been thinking that maybe the same thing happens with us. When we put good things out into the world (kindness, patience, effort, boundaries, joy) it draws good things in. It doesn’t usually happen instantly, and it’s always in the way we expect, but something does happen. You attract what you cultivate. This week, I want to ask you to notice what you’re planting. Think about your mindset, your relationships, and your choices. Are you planting the kind of seeds that will bring more of what you want into your life? If you need help figuring out what to plant next, that’s what I’m here for. Coaching isn’t just for when things go wrong, it’s for when you’re ready to grow something good and make a change. |

Hey Reader, A few weeks ago, I found out my position as an Executive Assistant with an International company was being made redundant. I definitely didn’t see it coming. But after the dust settled, I reminded myself of something I often say to my clients: focus on what you can control, not what you can’t. I couldn’t control the redundancy. But I could control my response. I could choose to panic and fall into a negative mental loop, or I could take the energy and move it into something...
Hey Reader, Last week we talked about the grooves we slip into that keep us circling the same routines. Have you’ve identified one you’re feeling stuck in? You don’t need a giant leap to break free. Most of the time, a rut starts to crack with the smallest shift. It happens to mountains, to boulders, and to us. Your challenge for this weekDo one thing differently. It doesn’t matter how small. Take a new route to work, try a different coffee order, start a conversation you’d usually avoid, or...
Hey Reader, There are seasons in life when it feels like you’re walking in circles. The same thoughts, the same conversations, the same Monday mornings that blend into each other until you wonder if time is actually moving. Ruts sneak up on us. They feel safe and normal, until you wake up one day and realize you haven’t moved forward in months. I’ve been working on this topic for a bit, and it became more personal today. I’ve been in a “comfortable” rut with work for awhile, and this morning...
