I will be attending another blogging conference next weekso I wanted to remind myself how not to lose my mind while I'm there.
In an arena with not only so much new informationbut so many accomplished women as wellI have learnedwhen attendingto go in with specific intentso as not to come out dazed and intimidatedwondering"What in the world have I done with my life?"
I will Remember to respect my own story. Life is not a competition. We all have our own paths in life as well as our own peaks and valleys as we travel our journey.I will respect how hard I have worked to be authentically me in this moment.
Comparison is always a thief of joy.I will remember to celebrate the accomplishments of otherswithout holding my life up to compare.
I will rememberNot to judge my own life movieto someone else's highlight reel.
I will not compare my insides
to someone else's outsides.I will be open to knew ways of working.
I will listen welltake notesbut not expect I can immediatelyput new ideas into practiceno matter how great they sound at the time.
I will listen intently to new ideaswhile still knowingthey will still need time to manifest and digestbefore they can turn into actions.
I will remain open to the experience of the conference
this moment in time
ready to gather all the good I can find.
I will be looking for the sacred that can come from shared life experiences.
I will rememberwhen I feel nervous, scaredor just uncomfortable
to show upand be a blessing
not a bitch.I remind myselfalthough I am at a conference to gain new knowledgein my fieldI am really herefor the human connectionsespecially with the friends I loveand want to celebrate and support!
I will recognizethat sometimeswhen I get uncomfortableI have a tendencyto slip intocritical judgementwhether it be of myself or others.
I will at those times remind myselfI have grown past my first reactionsof judgementand nowwill dig deep during those timesto go outside of myselfto find the beauty and truthin the moment .
I will rememberthe bestmost sacred moments in lifearen't about mebut ratherin the true connecting with others.
The sharing of storiesthe true connecting of souls.
I will not let my egodrown out potentialsacred moments
but rather I will travel with the intentof what good can I do in any given moment.
LastlyI will rememberto respect the alone time I do needto rechargeand refocusin order to be ablebe do the most good I can.
I will remember to packgrace for selfso I will have plenty to share with others.
My intent for my tripis to not only be opento sacred momentsbutto actually seek them out.
As always my friends
I wish you love and joyas you style your life
