Look Back: Where Were You Ten Years Ago?
How old were you? Where did you live? What where you doing? What was important to you?
In 2013, my fiancé graduated from business school at UNC, and we moved from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to Austin, Texas. We went on a big celebration trip to London, Paris, Edinburgh, Lucerne, and Cinque Terre. We didn’t know it then, but that was the first of many travels and international trips.
Appreciate: What’s Changed and How You’ve Grown
Back then, I dreamt of having a home, a family, and a business of my own. Fast forward to today, and I’m living that dream! We bought our house in 2016 and recently updated it with new paint, light fixtures, and cozy furniture that makes it feel like the sanctuary I always envisioned. Our three amazing kids keep us on our toes, and I’m loving my work more than ever!
Explore: Big Life Lessons and Transformations
As you reflect on the past decade, look at the big lessons and transformations that have shaped who you are today. What surprises have you encountered? How have those experiences molded you?
For me, becoming a mother and learning to trust my intuition have been two big ones. Motherhood has been different from what I expected, and I’ve learned a lot about myself through self-mothering and supporting my kids. I live with so much more intuition in my everyday life, and having practices to release emotions, integrate past lives, and live in alignment with my inner voice has changed everything.
A Year of Calm for You
You don’t need another self-help audiobook. You need to listen to your intuition.
Imagine how it’d feel to slow down, breathe, and reconnect to the peace within.
A Year of Calm is your ticket to ending overwhelm and thriving in your life.
Look Forward: Where Do You Want to Be in Ten Years?
There are seasons when you have a clear image of where you want to go. Other times, it’s more of a general idea or a willingness to surrender to whatever comes.
Ten years ago, I knew exactly what I wanted. Now? Things feel more open and uncertain. I’m not sure if we’ll still be in this home. My kids will grow, but how that will unfold is a mystery. I hope to still be coaching, podcasting, and maybe even publish a book. For my personal style and wellness, I have a clearer vision: I want to feel amazing, be delighted by how I look, and always trust the wisdom of my body.
The Power in Perspective
Give this practice a try! Whether you’re making decisions, driving to work, picking up the kids, washing dishes, or answering emails, take a moment to reflect on your perspective from ten years ago or imagine your future self ten years from now. You might just find the wisdom, clarity, and encouragement you need.
