40. Living Fully Awake to What Matters to You the Most
Today I’d like to share a story with you and it’s something that I hope will encourage you to live fully awake to what matters to you most.
The phrase, “I am fully awake to what matters to me most,” is the thought I am practicing this week. I have a note in my phone full of “I am” statements as I am develop more of my self-concept and reminding myself of who I actually am. I wanted to encourage you guys (and my self too!), that we have to be able to know who we are.
And as you know, I am a big fan of self-reflection. I love having a moment to clear my mind and think. Some of the places this happens for me is while in the shower, while driving longer distances and now, when I am walking and Im not distracted by anything else.
This past weekend, I took a walk and instead of listening to a book or podcast like I normally would, I was just thinking about my life. Where I am and where I’ve been and why I am so passionate about the things I am passionate about. What came to mind specifically was my coaching community, Look Up Collective that I started with my dear friends this past fall.
I know I’ve mentioned it on here before, but I haven’t shared the story of how it came to be and I’d love to share a shortened version of that with you today.
I realized recently that things in my life really started to shift when we moved about 4 years ago. Even though the house we are living in now is about twice the size of our old house, in the process of moving, I ended getting about half of our belongings. This was a HUGE marker for me in the process of this time in my life that change was taking place. I began to learn what it was to live with less. Decluttering my mind and my days during this time has done SO much for me in learning to live a life fully awake to what actually matters to me most. I had to clear out what didn’t matter to learn what actually mattered to me and my family.
I was listening back to voice memos I made from during this time frame. I was talking and processing what I was learning, and I was bursting with excitement for this shift that was taking place. I kept asking myself what to do with all of this new information! Somehow this fire inside of me needed to come out! I had seen what it was like to be fully awake to what matters and I wanted to pass it along to other women.
Listening to this was SO encouraging seeing that what God was stirring in my heart 4 years ago is now exactly what I get to do through the Look Up Collective.
So often in this life we want to know immediately, “What is my purpose?” But I just want to encourage you, that while it may not be clear or happen all at once, to pay attention and listen to the things stirring inside of you. Journal and reflect on them—process as you’re going, so that you can look back and be confident in what you’re being called to do.
And you guys, this is the power of self-reflection.
If this resonates with you and if you are a woman who is driven by purpose and serving others, and you’re looking for a soft place to land with coaching, community, creating rhythms, then Look Up Collective is for you.
