DO YOU SEE IT?

Awareness is waking up to your story. Waking up to what is really driving you to do/say/act in certain ways. Waking up to what the situation is and to how you feel about it. Does it fit you? Do you feel powerful? Happy? Unstoppable? If not, you are waking up to whatever it is you are feeling and recognizing that now it isn’t working for you. You have begun to seek a change for yourself. You know that something more powerful is out there and you want more of whatever it is. Maybe you can already name it, maybe it’s just on the tip of your tongue, maybe you just know that what’s happening right this minute simply isn’t the best long term thing for you and you aren’t yet sure what direction to head in. All of these mean you have already taken the first step to create change for yourself. Awareness is step one.

Bias For Action

Action is movement. It’s forward progress and creation of new goals. Actions are the steps you take each day to live into your best life. Sometimes those are huge steps that leave you panting and grinning out of breath with effort- like getting to the top of the mountain after a long day hiking. Other times they may feel like small movements that feel incremental until you realize you’ve dismantled an entire wall. Suddenly you see that you are looking at a totally clear road ahead. Bias for Action is step two.

Hyper-Positive Growth

Hyper – Positive Growth (HPG) is the ability to look backwards into the past and forwards into the future and make conscious choices about which actions will best suit your highest self. Growth allows you to create your future in ways that are sustainable, joyful and strong.

HPG is all about integrating mind/body/spirit through actions which increase happiness, build strength and develop strong connections to your best self. Hyper – Positive Growth means stretching, moving out of your comfort zone in ways that build strength and honor who you are and who you are becoming. Growth can be painful at times and it’s a necessary part of the process.  Hyper -Positive Growth is step three.

Standing firmly

Grounding is planting your feet more firmly before lifting off into action. Grounding reconnects us to our deepest strengths, to courage, desire, and true spirit. Grounding is your DEEP FOUNDATION, YOUR BASE CAMP.  Grounding is sinking your feet deep in the sand and feeling the earth fully support you at the edge of the ocean.

We need grounding in order to take thoughtful action, and we need time to re-ground/re-group after a big push. Grounding can look like a cold beer at the end of a difficult hike or like collapsing into a hammock at the end of a hard week. Grounding can be dancing around the yard or sharing a meal with family and friends. Grounding is what connects us to our bigger community, to the bigger picture. And grounding ultimately helps us feel confident in living into our highest and best self. Standing Firm is step four.
