  • May 2021: Life Lessons

    Perspective is one of our greatest abilities. We can intentionally choose to shift our perspective, and look at things differently. One of my favorite perspective shifts when trudging through the crap of difficult times is to stop, and look for the life lessons, and ask: what is life trying to teach me right now? 

     

    Thoughts from Kate:

    When we get stuck in our automatic and unconscious reactions, we give our power away. Our mindsets can be used to literally change our perspective on the world. The world doesn’t have to change, but we can change the way we look at the world – and therein lies our power. This is why I love psychology so much! 

    Here are some thoughts on treating life like a school:

    • We’re all students of life. There is a humbleness and openness that accompanies this perspective. If you choose to entertain the idea that perhaps we’re all here in a soul-school of sorts, then we’re all students. We’re all learning. We just each have different lessons we’re attempting to master…but no-one is immune to having to learn lessons. 
    • Growth doesn’t stop. A theme that has been consistently coming up for me lately is to recognize that our personal growth is about becoming, growing and unfolding…but there is no destination to arrive at. As long as we are alive, there will be lessons to learn. This acknowledgement is freeing. We don’t have to sprint to a destination, because life will show up with the next lesson to learn as soon as we arrive, so we may as well enjoy the journey. 
    • Your willingness to learn is everything. Whether or not you subscribe to this belief, you will hit hurdles in life. Your willingness to look for the lessons is the crucial element that can change how you experience your life. It’s the difference between seeing life as an opportunity or an obstacle.

     

    Quotes to Inspire:

    • “Instead of ‘why is this happening?’ try ‘what is this teaching me?‘ – Unknown
    • “You will be presented with lessons: You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called ‘life.’ Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.” – Cherie Carter-Scott
    • “Most adults have dropped out of the school of life before they reached adulthood.”– Mokokoma Mokhonoana
     

    Something to Try: Reflection

    Find a quiet time and some space, and open up a notebook. Consider the life lessons you’ve been learning over the last year, and how you’ve grown. You can use the following journal prompt to get you started?
    • What is a Life Lesson I’ve been working through or faced over the last 12 months?
    • What have I learned? 
    • What do I still need to be aware of? 
    • What actions can I take that will help me continue to evolve?

     

    Be different than the rest. Don’t be a life-school dropout. Sign up, look closely, and evolve alongside this thing called life. It’s soul-satisfying if you ask me 😉

    – Kate

  • Mar 2021: Self Inquiry

    If you’ve followed me for awhile, you may have noticed a consistent theme.

    I firmly believe that self-reflection, and taking the time to get to know ourselves, our wants and our drivers, is the vital knowledge that allows us to build a meaningful and fulfilling life.  

    Thoughts from Kate:

    I didn’t used to believe I had intuition. I thought that was something that psychic people were blessed with. I couldn’t have been more wrong…I simply wasn’t taking any time to quieten the noise of the crazy outer world, and intentionally tune into that whispering inner voice that we all have. 

    Here are my thoughts on what you can do to help foster this crucial relationship with yourself:

    • Ask Big Questions. If you were getting to know a new date, you’d ask them lots of questions. The same works for knowing ourselves – ask yourself the big questions, and simply see what is there. 
    • Create Quiet Contemplative Space. The outside world is noisy, and our inner wisdom is quiet. If you’re always distracting yourself with noise, you’ll likely never hear it. 
    • Make self-reflection a regular practice, not a one time event. You have to invest in the relationship you have with yourself. 

     

    Quotes to Inspire:

     
    • “Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.” – Margaret J. Wheatley
    • “Don’t become too preoccupied with what is happening around you. Pay more attention to what is going on within you.” – Mary-Frances Winters
    • “The soul usually knows what to do it heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.” – Caroline Myss

     

    Something to Try:

    To complete this monthly theme, on the Here to Thrive podcast I spoke with Jennie Lee about how engaging with meaningful questions can help us to connect spiritually. Her new book – Spark Change – is one of my favorites from the last several years.

    She graciously said I could share a page with you. Here is Question 74 that you can use as a journal prompt: What is preventing me from being quiet inside? (click to download the page) 

    Have fun getting to know yourself even better. It’s worth it. 

    – Kate
