Breaking Free

“Our Greatest Fear is not that we are inadequate, our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” –Marianne Williamson

After the hurry scurry of the holidays I like to treat myself. Consequently, since I talk to you about how balance and play are a life domain I value, I am going to head up to Wyoming to one of my favorite getaways. My family is going to join me. I am going to break free from my routine. When I take time for renewing I realize the benefits of an increased sense of creative freedom.

What do you do to renew your sense of balance and creativity? It can be as simple as taking time for some solitude with a hot cup of cocoa to savor the smell of the chocolate and to feel the warmth of the cup in our hands. To sit on the porch and watch a beautiful sunrise or sunset in a simple thing to do for self-care. Bubble baths are a treasure too. Remember to take time for you.

I loved your article about taking care of ourselves, Brenda. The sculpture was amazing and I intend to use it in the future with clients. Thank-you so much for reminding me about the new year and breaking free of routine, thereby challenging myself to grow!

  Dianne,
  Welcome! It’s so nice to have you visit. The new year and a new moon, which is January 23rd, are great time to look at the possibilities we have in life to renew and re-connet to our values. I agree with you the the sculpture is amazing. I can feel the movement. Each and every one of us have the opportunity to move our lives forward in a direction we value. It takes a good game plan and committment. Hence, I am offering a workshop on January 23rd, Finding Your True North for the New Year. We are going to complete an exercise on value clarification and then complete an exercise on goal setting.
  Warmly, Brenda
