THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: Resolved!
Marvelous Mothers!

I always tell my clients that I'm not real big on new year's resolutions, that is, not the kind of resolutions that I don't stick to, feel like a "should" and that get dusty in a drawer. I AM big on finding what I am excited to do, compelled to be and can't wait to jump into. I always take time in January to really listen to myself - I Matt on the fencedid that this weekend while sitting on a bench in my front yard. What I found was my resolve to step up to fabulous profit with my company in 2008.

This week's newsletter is about finding YOUR resolve. Scroll down to Your Coaching Moment to get started.

All the best from your coach,

YOUR COACHING Moment

Resolved!

I want you to ponder the difference between when you go after a goal with resolve and when you go after something without resolve.  Think of a goal last year, maybe you had a new year’s resolution or just something that you wanted to accomplish, acquire or achieve. And it never really happened. Did you have resolve behind it? Were you determined no matter what?

I want you to think about the word resolve – what does that mean to you? What does it mean to be resolved? What do you look like & feel like when you are resolved? Close your eyes and picture yourself when you are totally resolved to do something. There is no question. Determined. No way it’s not going to happen.

Resolutions often come from your head, being resolved comes from your heart. It’s that feeling of strength, leaning forward eagerly, determination, courage.  It’s climbing over rocks, not worrying if you get a few scrapes or dirt on your pants, cause you are so getting to the top of that mountain.

It’s not about nice-to-haves, it’s about your deepest desires. Finding what has juice for you and resonates to your core. I want you to have something on your list this year that you are resolved to step up to and into.

Some mothers say they are stepping into "purpose" or "abundance" or "integrity."  One mother said she was stepping up to "belly laughs with my husband." Another mama said she was stepping into "being a yummy mummy." There are no right or wrong answers when it comes to finding your resolve - it's what resonates for you!

COACH YOURSELF:  Close your eyes, right now, and ask yourself: "What I am stepping up to and into this year?"   Let yourself hear what your heart already knows and can tell you. Don’t over think it, just feel it. Write it down, momma, and take your first step!
