Blessing of the New Year

 

Hi,
Happy New Year,

 

Thank you to those who came Blessing of the New Year workshop. I wanted to share my blessing with you. The ingredients come from what I teach in Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching and what I've learned makes me happy: 

 

May you remember what works for you.
 

May you appreciate who you are in this moment and acknowledge what you’ve accomplished realizing you are way cool a fair amount of the time and can relax the rest of the time
 

May you trust that when you appreciate who you are in the moment you won’t become complacent, in fact you will you want to get to your passion not because you fear not being good enough if you don’t, but because you love doing it.

May you be in awe of the riches and miracles already present everywhere – adding 5 seconds to the moments you notice them so you can deepen your appreciation.

May you want what you have.

May you no longer pressure yourself to get things done but make each small step fun and once it’s done to be close enough.
 

May you avoid the discomfort of comparison and let envy simply be a signpost to your next small step. Those things are normal so if they happen, just congratulate yourself for being human.

 

May you surround yourself with people who believe in

you and accept you for who you are. May you believe in others.

May rejections and people who don’t understand you just inspire you to accept and understand yourself even better.
 

 

May you have the encouragement you need to feel supported as if by a constant benevolent soul, not pressured by a tyrannical one, and may you be that benevolent soul.

May you push yourself past your habitual limits in a kind and gentle way to surpass your tendency to stop … if this applies to you."

 

May you know when you’ve done enough each day and rest in satisfaction or dance in celebration

 

May you excel at these things on a good day, but on the bad ones just say,  I trust I’ll get stuff done… I’ll Begin Again tomorrow.

 

 

 

Jill
