Everyday in every moment, the story of your life is playing out. What genre is your story; comedy, action, drama, soap opera? What type of character are you playing in your story? Are there characters in your story that are needing to be written in and out? What is the sound track of your story? I believe that the most exciting part of your story may be waiting to be written. The script is always open to being revised and embellished. You are always able to change the genre and choose a different character to be you! 

The invitation is to take some time to be with your script. Perhaps you could block off a period of time and reflect on your script. You could walk or sit in nature or you could find a quiet space to just be. Are you ready to create your plot twist?

I noticed over the years that when things were troubling me, I energetically carried them along on my journey. At some point I was given the metaphor of baggage that held all these experiences and stories. This metaphorical baggage, kept me connected to my past, weighed on me and prevented me from moving forward. I adapted and become comfortable with all the extra weight. When I became aware of the impact of this practice I found some different ways to release the energy. Going forward I created new ways to release situations as they occurred. Below you will find several of these. My suggestion would be to try the ones that feel right to you and incorporate whatever ritual or ideas come to you in the moment. Give yourself full permission to create your own process by following your intuition.

Years ago in one of my coaching courses the leader made this statement; "Fulfillment Is A Radical Act". I think I have written about this before, and tonight I am really inspired to write about this topic again. My radical act began almost 10 yrs ago after an interesting series of intuitions, signs and just the right support. I found myself sitting in the lobby of a hotel wondering whether I had made a good decision. Had I signed up for another Amway type of get rich quick scheme? Been there done that. I went upstairs to the room where the course was being held and sat down in one of the chairs. I was "all in" and at the same time curious about what I had signed up for. About 15 minutes into the course I took a deep breath and I could feel my heart smiling. I had found my tribe, my people, my calling. For the first time in my life I was excited about something and that something was co-active life coaching.
