Check in No.3 | Stop fighting. Start adapting.

Hello ,

Thank you for being here and a huge welcome to the new subscribers joining us this week! It’s lovely to have you with us.

And for those of you who have signed up for some 1:1 coaching sessions - I’m so honoured to be working with you. I have opened up extra online 1:1 spaces over the next few months and am offering the first two sessions completely free, so do scroll down to find out more if it feels like the right time for you.

I have been thinking about changes this week:

Any newness we introduce into our lives requires space.

Something else must be let go, or a feeling about something else must be let go.

Just as in nature, trees surrender their leaves to make way for new shoots, blossoms, and eventually fruits, we too must release what no longer serves the version of ourselves we’re becoming.

Further down, I will share how I have had to completely rewrite my own plan (and let more go than I thought), while staying true to what I am working towards.

Routine Doesn’t Mean Rigidity

When we create a plan, we think about our goal or where we want to get to. We start putting in habits and little changes to our days and weeks, in order to move towards that goal. In my previous newsletters, we looked at how to break your goals down, how to remove barriers to stay on track. You can check them all out here.

But sometimes, life comes in and reminds us that we are not robots. Neither are we living in a vacuum unaffected by things around us!

It’s easy to stick to a routine or habit when everything is going well, when things feel ‘in order’ and you can copy+paste your days, stacking them happily as you gain momentum.

But sometimes stuff happens which blind sides us and throws everything into chaos.

To truly transform, sustainably, there needs to be adaptability. We have to learn the art of pivoting and changing our course, in order to still get where we want to go.

So what does this mean for your 12 weeks of change?

Well, first, review the last few weeks and be honest about which things you can keep up for the next 30 days, 6 months, 1 year. These are the things which matter, because they shape life.

Then, zoom out at the bigger picture and goal itself - are there still ways of getting where you want to go without holding on to the way you thought the journey would look? More on this later!
