Sunday Thinking
"When you consciously slow down and deepen your breath, you are letting your body know that it's okay to trust this present moment."
The weekly Sunday Thinking newsletter is quick-hit content that aims to provide a booster shot to your thought process as you end and start your week.
"One day you will realize that happiness is not what your house looks like, but how you love the people within its walls. Happiness is not finding success by a certain time, but finding something you love so much time itself seems to disappear. Happiness is not thinking you have earned the world's approval, but waking up each day and feeling so at peace within your own skin, quietly anticipating the day ahead, unconcerned with how you are perceived. Happiness is not having the best of everything, but the ability to make the best of anything. Happiness is knowing you did what you could with what you were given. Happiness is not something that comes to us when every problem is solved and all things are perfectly in place, but in the shining silver linings that remind us of the light of day is always there, if we slow down enough to notice."
I. Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results
3 ideas as you end and start your year:
You don't rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.
Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.
Decide the type of person you want to be. Prove it to yourself with small wins.

II. Showing Up, Doing the Work
There is no arrival point, only growth and lessons learned to keep pressing forward on our self-leadership and self-discovery journeys.
Let us always remember:
To release, let go, and let life flow.
Growth is about progression over perfection.
Your story and vulnerability are your superpowers.
Give yourself credit for the ways you have grown this year.
It's never too late to try again, embrace hope or chase a dream.
III. From There to Here
No matter what happens, learning continues.
Maybe the path is less about getting from Here to There, and more about going From There to Here.
"There" is the focus on the future, "Here" is the awareness of this moment.
We shift from, "The future will provide something this present moment cannot," to "this present moment has its own learning and wisdom."
We can still work toward goals, but we no longer look to the future in the same way. We see the best way to support the future is to tend to the present.
The more we can make this shift, the more outcomes tend to fall in our favor, as there is less tension about the future. We take care of the future by tending to the present.
