Have you heard that faith (or confidence) and fear cannot exist in the same moment? Just like passion and procrastination cannot exist in the same moment. Our passion fuels action. Action fuels faith and combats fear. What is it that you’re passionate about? What stirs your heart? What brings you joy? What do you wake up being thankful for? What are you excited about for 2019?
As I step into the New Year I always like to schedule a cup of coffee with myself. I find it helpful reflecting on the past year as I set my intentions for the new year. Life if full of changes and curve balls. Some expected, some not. Some good, some not. Career, family, health, environment, associates or friend changes, just to name a few! If we want to remain confident we have to be able to pivot, refocus and make adjustments when and where needed. Our choices change, but the process doesn’t. Are you passionate and faithful or fearful and procrastinate? Sometimes I find myself battling between the two! This formula is what I like to use, I call it my focused five: faith, family, favor, fitness and fire. Here is a brief description, but what I want to focus on is fire.
Faith: This is your spiritual life. What keeps you grounded.
Family: Your inner circle of influence, which also includes those you spend the most time with.
Favor: These are your gifts, talents, and how you are using them to give back to the world.
Fitness: The fit four: mental, physical, emotional and financial.
Fire: Feed the fire! You are the fire that needs fed. You’re personal, professional and social growth: your image.
Each category requires listing your core values first, then goals in each category and designing a plan to live it out. Labels and titles are someone else’s perception, but values are your own. This is your authenticity.
For me, I am passionate about teaching others ways to help them live life confident. Learning your LIFEStyle energy is a great way to learn to be comfortable with who you were designed to be. Take my quiz to get you started. Using your innate energy to further your growth improves your image simply by what you are reflecting to the world. You gain confidence when you are growing! So what steps will you take in 2019 to feed the fire? What changes will you allow yourself to make? Do you need help with your image? I would love to help or just to hear about your personal journey. Live life confident and make 2019 your best image!
