Hi
Nice to have you drop by.
2023 I feel will be a year of new challenges for all of us, but as with all challenges, it is how you perceive them and how you respond that will determine your outcome.
So let's make that outcome and perception one of the highest, brightest and most perfect for you.
First and foremost I want you to see how far you have come in the last 12 months, easy to lose sight of I know, but grab your pen and paper and pour yourself a cup or glass of your favourite liquid, and take a few minutes to ponder.
Take your time and work through the questions. Don't second guess yourself, our higher self knows what it knows and it's always that second guess that steers us in the wrong direction.

Part 3
For change to be made we have to make decisions on both a conscious and unconscious level.
What we most certainly have to do is retrain our subconscious to make different decisions around our blocks and self imposed barriers.
When we make decisions unconsciously we tend to end up in the wrong places, with the wrong people in our lives, bored or stressed financially and emotionally.
These decisions are what determines the quality of our lives.
Decisions in 2023
What are you going to focus on?
You do have options, what you focus on you will create sooner or later and the more the focus the quicker it will arrive. So if you are focusing on the whats already happened in your past, if your story is still being told, then you are by default creating more of the same. So if you feel your stuck in the 'why is it always me', why is it always the same thing over and over, then you know where your focus has been. Focusing on feeling sorry for yourself, or garnering sympathy, will keep you well and truly in the victim zone with the unwanted arriving daily.
Start with kicking that to the curb, focus on what's in front of you right now, be grateful for even the smallest things that you have. Appreciate the wonder of the moment.
Ask yourself
What do I tend to focus on?
What you have right now
Or what you feel is missing from your life.
You will of course be doing both, but which do you feel dominates your thoughts?
Emotional wellbeing is better and very much easily created by focusing on gratitude for what you have in life.
Not just intellectual appreciation, another dollar in the bank, but by deep gratitude for what you really already have in your life.
When you make the decision on what to focus on your brain then has to make the second decision.
What does this mean?
How we feel about our lives has nothing to do with the events of our lives, it has nothing to do with what has or hasn't happened to us, or with our financial condition
THE QUALITY OF OUR LIFE IS CONTROLLED BY THE MEANING WE GIVE THESE THINGS
We don't usually stop to observe the impact of those decisions we make on the unconscious level.
When the disruptions come into our lives
Loss of a job
A relationship breakup
A health issue
An accident of some sort
Do you tend to think it's the end or the beginning?
If you have someone confront you, do you tend to think they are insulting you, teaching you or challenging you?
Or do you see it as a gift from the Universe because you understand that your lessons are usually taught to you through others.
YOUR LIFE WILL ONLY BECOME WHATEVER MEANING YOU GIVE IT
Start to take control over how you look at things. What meaning you give things
Find the positive and empowering meaning in everything.
Meaning = emotion
Emotion = Life
What Am I Going To Do?
Any action we take is going to be strongly shaped by the emotional state we are in at the time.
If you are angry and then confronted with a challenge or you feel someone is insulting you, you certainly won't react the same as when you are feeling happy or playful.
People will react differently in their anger. Some will pull back, (repressed), some will push through muttering under their breath (suppressed), some are quietly angry (repressed) while some are loud (explosive) or even violent. Some are passive agressiv, some will wait it out and plan revenge. Some people exercise it off, some will eat it off.
Which are you ?
Anger is an emotion I run whole workshops on, We have all been taught to display it differently, and depending on who we are angry at, we have been taught to use different words... think about your anger reaction to your kids, your husband, boss, parents, all completely different.
But anger aside the idea is to start to become aware of your repeated reactions to life, and it's challenges, both positive and negative.
What are your behaviours when you are sad, frustrated, self doubting?
Start to plant the seeds of change. If you are surrounded by people that bicker or spend their days judging others, aren't motivated to see the good in what they have, maybe its time to reassess your connections and how they leave you feeling.
It's easy to stop noticing the wonder of our lives and the beauty of what we do already have. These things determine how you feel..
Cursed or Blessed.

Small Steps to Bigger Change
Do Something good for someone else every day. It will make your life amazing
Invest in your health. It doesnt matter what you do, 5 minutes exercise, a walk, a yoga class, a course for your mental agility, breath work, change one thing you know you eat too much of.
Increase your awareness of your thoughts. Take responsibility for them and challenge yourself to monitor and write down your words and thoughts for 10 minutes a day. Analyse how much of the chatter is negative and therefore creating negative experiences for you and those around you.,
Schedule family time, or partner time, or kid time. The world will not stop if you set aside time for your family, or friends.
Tale stock of where your energy is going, What battles did you fight and not win last year. Are any of them worth dragging into 2023 so you can carry on fighting them. Why are you hanging in there?
Find a mentor.
Don't scatter your energy to friends and family, find one person that will listen, support and challenge you to be better, follow through your intents and be your cheerleader.
And finally
DO A LOT MORE OF WHAT YOU LOVE.
THE ABOVE HAS BEEN LIFTED FROM THE TEACHINGS FOR THE 'YEAR OF YOU' COURSE.
