Hey There 🙂

A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

Change. It’s the one thing we can always count on, right? Yet somehow, even though we know it’s inevitable, we still resist it. Whether it’s changes at work, in relationships, or even the world around us, it’s easy to feel thrown off. But here’s the truth: the ability to adapt and flow with change is one of the most powerful skills you can develop.

Take a Minute: Think about how you handle change. Are you resisting it, or are you leaning into it? When you embrace change, it stops being something that happens to you and becomes something you can use to your advantage.

A COUPLE QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

What’s one major change you’ve been resisting lately, and why? How could embracing that change open up new opportunities for growth?

From Me to You: Change isn’t always easy, but it’s where the growth happens. The more adaptable you become, the less you’ll feel like life is dragging you along for the ride. By accepting what you can’t control and focusing on what you can, you shift from feeling powerless to being in charge of your own story.

Remember, it’s not about liking every change that comes your way, it’s about recognizing the opportunity it presents. Whether you’re adapting to a new job, a shift in a relationship, or even just a new routine, you have the power to decide how it impacts you.

CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK

This week, I challenge you to pick one area of your life where you’ve been feeling stuck because of change. Instead of resisting it, lean into it. Ask yourself, “How can this change help me grow?” Even if it feels uncomfortable, push yourself to see the potential in the unknown.

Heads Up: Change can be intimidating, but remember, it’s also what keeps life interesting. The goal isn’t to have everything figured out. It’s to stay flexible, curious, and open to new possibilities. Take one small step toward embracing change this week, and watch how it shifts your perspective.

WHAT’S NEW AROUND HERE

Next week, we’ll explore how to stay adaptable when life throws unexpected changes your way. You’ll get practical advice on maintaining control and confidence in the face of uncertainty.

October: From now until Halloween, I’m doing my annual Freestyle Haunted Tale Writings on Facebook. It’s a tradition that helps me stay grounded while also diving into some haunting fictional tales to get us all into the Halloween spirit. Keep an eye out for them!

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Last week, we talked about Staying Grounded in a fast-paced world. If you missed it,  head over to the  new Empowerment Weekly page, don’t forget to bookmark it:)

WORDS FROM THE CROWD

“Anonymous” shared how staying grounded helped them manage work stress:

Summary:
“I was constantly getting overwhelmed by the fast pace at work and felt like I was losing control. After reading last week’s newsletter, I started setting specific times to disconnect and take a breather. Now, I feel more centered, and I’m getting through the workday with less stress.”

This reminds us that staying grounded isn’t just about finding a moment of peace. It’s about reclaiming control in the chaos and ensuring you stay balanced in a hectic environment.

“Jenny” shared how staying grounded helped her improve her relationships:

Summary:
“After reading last week’s newsletter, I realized that I’d been letting my phone and social media take over my personal time. I started setting tech-free zones at home, and it’s given me more quality time with my family. I feel more connected and present, which has really improved our relationships.”

Jenny’s story shows how staying grounded helps us reconnect with the things that truly matter, bringing clarity and balance to our personal lives.

A Quick Note: Keep your stories coming! I love hearing them and talking with you. Whether it’s a small win or a major breakthrough, I want to celebrate with you.

LET’S DO THIS AGAIN NEXT WEEK

Change isn’t always easy, but you’re in control of how you respond to it. Embrace the unknown, stay flexible, and remember, you’ve got this. One step at a time.
