Weekly Overview:

What is your legacy?

We all leave little bits of ourselves everywhere we go. What do you leave in your wake? Do you have a long string of jilted lovers who you left in the dust? Or have you built an amazing space where people can gather, let loose and talk and connect with other lovely souls? Something in-between?

Whether it seems to be big or small - we do leave a legacy - each just as important as the other. Think on what you've been leaving behind. And what you plan to leave behind going forward.

Set yourself up…

Let yourself be messy, and free and open with someone.

Relationships that can truly be comfortable and easy bring such a feeling of peace and deep contentment where you can share or say anything and not be afraid of concequences.

Have you ever had that? A feeling of being so safe with someone that you could just relax fully and be 100% yourself?

Today, think on why that is or isn't possible for you with the people in your life, and if possible - practice opening up just a little bit more with someone, or envision what that might look…

The ability to do your own thing, in your own timeline and with the freedom to change your mind and adjust as you go is invaluable. The difference between being told what to do and feeling obligated vs being able to choose and being free is the ultimate key to happiness.

Where in your life do you not feel free? Do you even know what you want to do if you have total freedom to choose anything? It can be overwhelming. It can often feel safer to just do what you're told.

Feeling safe brings a certain level of happiness…

In order to truly understand anything - there must first be full honesty with yourself, and with the whole situation.

Do you try to see the best in people? Inadvertently dis-honouring the fact that they have some tendencies to not quite be the best? ( Hint - we ALL have spots where we're not the best )

Maybe you have a chip on your shoulder - and choose to always paint someone else as the bad guy - using the opportunity to have someone else to blame and absolve yourself in your mind...

Recognizing that you're doing these things is…

Building a legacy for the future.

Honour the gifts your previous influences have given you - and teach those things to someone else. To the next generation.

Teach & embody the values you believe in. See the reality that has been created - and plan for the reality that you wish to see. Co-create this with others.

How do you react to conflict?

What does that reaction say about you?

Does your reaction allow room for you to be in control & empowered during conflicts?

Conflicts can be gentle. They don't have to be big and scary. They don't have to be fueled by extreme emotions or elicit harmful actions.

Especially when we can establish boundaries and collaborate with clear communication proactively, it's very possible to have disagreements and conflicts within the realm of peace and agreeability.

The first step is to just recognize how you currently navigate conflict, and why. Knowing where it comes from help…

Do you have a Fun Journal?

If not- you should! Not just Facebook.... A real life physical manifestation & legacy of your life's adventures. Reminders of those memories you want to keep you company when you're old and grey and sharing stories at the dinner table at the old folk's home.

Gone are the days when people used to sit around and watch the slideshow of the family's adventures - but the story telling is still an important piece of life.

These adventures that seem pretty trivial at the time - the BBQ with friends, the hiking trip with your…

What is inspiring to you?

Do you use that inspiration to motivate you?

If not - this is the day to start!

Think of someone or something that has made you feel good. What was it that felt so good? Can you find a way today to honour that feeling by letting it inspire you into action? To inspire you to pay that feeling forward and make someone else feel good?

Maybe you're more inspired by anger or fear. This is quite often easier than being motiviated by positive emotions - because it's less of a choice and more o…

I love the acronym CANI. It stands for:

Constant

And

Neverending

Improvement

It's a reminder to always be on the lookout for ways that things can improve. Not settling into complacency, or going overboard into control, worry, fear of failure, or stressing over a million possible outcomes.

Just one step at a time - consistently and proactively. With intention.

Previous intention on this theme:

• Better Moments- https://youtu.be/YBvYMwsdlbA

What emotions do you find that you avoid? Which emotions do you live in?

What purpose do those emotions serve for you?

Emotions are there for a reason - they tell you that there's something important that you should be paying attention to.

So - pay attention! Listen to your emotions. All of them. Even the messy, uncomfortable ones. Really listen to what they're trying to say. Be open to the answers.

What comes to mind whe you think of being lost? Nervousness? Fear?

How about peace? Excitement? Does that sound crazy?

Today's thought is that being lost can actually be OK. Maybe even fun!

I challenge you to explore a new area. Turn your phone off and tuck it away. Put away the map, and use the tools you were born with - your 5 senses plus your logic and intuition to guide you.

Building resilience and flexibility through adventure! :)

Creativity and playfulness are very hard to achieve when feeling burdened and weighed down by life.

There are a lot of artists and creators who have managed to tap into the darkness, and use their inner pain to fuel their creativity. They are the type to be willing to endure the pain in order to speak to it. But there still must be an inner sense of freedom to be able to express things openly.

Even where Necessity breeds invention and creativity - there is still enough freedom to stop, assess, plan and implement those ideas.

When you don't have…

Get swept away!

Today is a day to just allow yourself to get lost in a project, or put the phone down and get out into nature. Maybe literally let yourself get swept away and go out on the water or if you're really adventurous - go skydiving or parasailing. lol.

The point is to just let yourself get away from daily life for the day, and really immerse yourself in a day away from it all mentally, physically or both.

If you can't do it today - plan it out and make it happen!

What will you do? Ho…

Having needs does not equal being needy. We all have needs, but at first, taking action towards your own needs can feel like being needy.

Actually being needy is expecting others to take over and take care of you.

And it's interesting, because many times, the needy people are the ones who "help" others a lot. They give out help by the bucket load in order to try to elicit favours and guilt trips later in return.

Taking action to take care of your own needs is very freeing. You can start working from a place of security with yourself…

Signs and symbols are everywhere. Especially now in this digital age - we're bombarded with them! Logos, memes, advertisements everywhere!

How do you make sense of it all? Your brain is really good at recognizing and categorizing these things for you based on your past experiences of them - and things that are similar. And your subsconscious is reacting to each of these inputs, and telling your body how to respond.

Stop and take a look around - see what symbols you have around you. Do you have items that bring back memories? Are they good or bad?

Recognizing that…

Trying can be very "trying"!

It's hard to keep putting effort into things, day after day. Especially if you don't see the outcome that you've been hoping for.

Today, put some intention into one of the problems you've had lately, or something you're not seeing progress on. To step back and put some thought into how you can try a different way.

One thing to remember is to be careful what you wish for. Take a look at WHY you've been struggling. By asking for strength - it means you are also asking for all the pain that goes in…

What challenge are you currently going through? Did you set this challenge for yourself, or was it thrust upon you?

We can often feel like we're being dragged along by life and things that are out of our control. Even having just one personally chosen challenge helps feel like you're more in charge.

Today's the day to "take the bull by the horns" and set a personal challenge for yourself. It doesn't have to be a big one. In fact, **Life hack! - tiny goals are great because they're super achievable and help to re-wire your mind for confidence …

In order to learn, you need to take some time to sit down and process your experiences.

You can try to ignore the lessons in life - but I am a firm believer that tactic will only lead to being caught off guard with them.

So, today's intention is to sit down and reflect on some recent interactions or situations. Try to see if there are any patterns or clues that can help you to understand the outcome that those clues point to.

By giving these patterns the time and attention they deserve, you're able to see the signs easier…

You deserve to be able to keep the good things that you find in life. If you can reacognize the signs that it's time to move on from something, or someone, it's possible to intentionally navigate parting ways so that the bridge isn't burned down in the process.

Are there any signs in your life right now that are pointing towards an ending? Maybe it's time to speak to what you're seeing, or put the situation on pause, or maybe it's allready time for the warm hug goodbye.

Amicable endings are truly a gift that you can give yourself, because…

Chaos is part of life. The trick to navigating the storms is to stay sheltered and safe while they pass.

By looking at chaos as just something that helps us to have contrast so we can appreciate the good things in life, it really helps to be able to step out of the storm, and not feel like we need to fight back. It doesn't do much good to fight with some forces of nature anyhow.

So, what is the current storm that you're facing? Can you take a moment to stop and look around, and enjoy the beauty i…

Another reminder to step into this current moment.

So many of the other intentions can be enhanced by being fully aware of what is real, in the moment so that we can discern what we want or need, what we feel, and what our priorities are.

So, step into this moment - use all 5 senses, and give whatever you're doing the full attention it deserves.

Previous intentions on this theme:

• Awareness of what is real

• Awareness while practicing growth

What is real?

Reality is subjective. So, what is real for you, right in this moment?

What are your thoughts? What are you feeling?

Are your thoughts and feelings based on reality? On concrete proof? Sometimes, even when we feel like something is rock solid, it still turns out to be a slippery slope instead.

Awareness around this fact allows for change to not be so shocking when it comes. If your house is built on a shaky foundation and you think it's rock solid - you'll sure be shocked and set back if it suddenly buckles and becomes uninhabitable.

Show Up fully.

Just as you are. Allow whatever comes up- just to observe where you're at. To observe the reactions to how you're showing up. Let it all out, but be mindful to not hurt anyone (your future self included).

Then, take a look at how you show up today, and compare it with these questions to gain awareness of any gaps where you might want to take action in order to show up as the person you want to be.

• How are you showing up?

• Are you the best version of yourself?

• Are you honouring your past self…

One of the most amazing feelings in the world is being in sync with someone else.

Art and creativity really help us to get into that mind-space.

So, today's goal is to find a way to include someone else a the project that you've been working on, or have wanted to do. Or join someone else on their project. Or just sit side by side while you each work on your own. However it works best for you.

Play with it, and work at communicating to find the best way to collaborate for the two of you.

And enjoy having…
