End of year evaluations
I am a December baby so every year I get a little older and hopefully wiser. We are also approaching the end of the calendar year. Now is a good time to reflect on 2021 highs and lows. What lessons have you learned, what accomplishments did you reach, and what do you want to do better next year. Living a better life is sort of what life coaching is all about in those confidential sessions.
In terms of lessons learned, this was a big year for learning. I learned I cannot do anything about people who have the wrong impression of me. Two women come to mind who were “friends” (more like frenemies). While I have been dealing with work and health issues, these two people have been gossiping behind my back for perceived wrongs they think I have done. One is in my professional circle and the other is a social circle. They are entitled to feel the way they feel. The way I feel is I have enough going on; I desire love and support not negativity. Namaste. I’m headed this way and you enjoy your journey without me.
When you remove something, the universe will fill it with something else so make sure you are staying positive and peaceful to attact something new rather than more of the old negative patterns and people. BE YOU! That was the entire point of my book Say Yes to Yourself available on Amazon and the free workbook (email me). If you have people putting pressure on you to be something you are not, respectfully say, “no, thank you.” I have new friends now who support my growth. I get hugs, prayer, and positive vibes from my new tribe. Last night, I was part of an amazing group of women who I love. I could not imagine surviving the health issues without these amazing women by my side.
I let go of one negative relationship and replaced it with something positive and life-changing. I had to release a negative person who kept disrespecting me. I stood up for myself and refused to settle. I did hard work on myself including admitting some not so great traits and habits I had. I cried, I meditated, I journaled, I went to my support group, I processed those emotions. With the help of so many others (too many to thank here), I came out the other side. I put myself out there again to date with a new perspective and a clear idea of what I wanted. I also prayed that God, in his time, would guide the right person to me. I won the relationship lottery. I’m respected, appreciated, and loved. I have never laughed this much with a boyfriend in my life. It doesn’t hurt that as you get older you realize some things you have to laugh at rather than get angry and worked up. I once heard, “if it is not going to matter in five years, do not give it five minutes of thought.”
My wish for all of you this year is to smile as the year ends. We usher out the old. A new year is right around the corner. What was your 2021 like? What do you want 2022 to be for you and those around you? Is there a book you want to write, do you want to go back to school, do you want to start your own business? Are you hoping this is the year you get organized, lose weight, become number one in sales? Anything is possible but you need to believe in yourself, the outcome, and then act in that direction. Fairy dust will not magically take weight off (emotional or physical) so you will need a plan of action. Good luck to you all. Enjoy the rest of 2021 and if I can help please contact me at lcalvertjd@gmail.com for coaching.
LOVE AND LIGHT TO YOU.
