Stumble It!i have done a lot of work on becoming the person i want to be. primarily, a person of integrity, compassion, creativity and accountability. i want to be a positive energy in my interactions, and i want to leave people and projects with a new opening, a sense of new possibility, a ray of sunshine. i am one who wants to always deliver my best or better. i am conscious of my core values and acting in alignment with them. while i have achieved a certain level, i hope i will always be growing towards my best self. there are days or moments where i feel like i fall short. so i have created strategies that work for me when i'm tired or under stress and i might knee-jerk into ways of being that do not deliver my best.
being a visual person, i've hit upon a new tool that i am trying out. i visualize every morning, before i walk out the door with zoe on our morning stroll, my planting a seed. perhaps i am the seed. perhaps the day is the seed. but i imagine the earth is loamy and fertile and dark and smells of moist dirt in the sun. and my seed has all the nutrients and sun and water it needs to sprout like jack's beanstalk. my day, my being is that sprout. and each day is a new seed, a new birth. new opportunity to grow and flower. and if i ground myself in that energy, if i orient my being and my thinking and feeling with that positive and organic visualization, it helps me maintain that energy and that intent throughout the day, particularly when i reach levels of fatigue or pressure that might otherwise compromise the caliber of the performance i want to deliver. when i stay in alignment with my core values, particularly when i might just want to curl up under the covers instead, i stay on my path and my life has positive flow.
planting our values seed, daily. i'm energized just thinking about it.
