Coach Deborah Hyde

Starting fresh in 2021, I am focusing on INTENTIONS. By that I mean, what are you intending to do with your life, your business, your health, etc. this year? You have the ability to bring into consciousness and reality what you consciously INTEND. The issue is, without openly INTENDING to do something, you think you do nothing. However, what happens is you arbitrarily do something, which is ask for a replay of what has happened in the past. The "programs" playing in the backg...round of your mind are therefore giving instructions to your day and minute and hour. If what you have experienced was less than what you wanted, it is your job to decide on a different present. What is it you want? Here the book is wide open, no boundaries. The only limit is that which you are able to or allow yourself to imagine. The thing I find quite often is, I hear others say, "I can't ask for that. . . or that is not possible . . . or my (insert name or thing) would not let me do that . . . or I wish I could but I must do this instead. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes and relax. Now let's "pretend" there are no limits. Take another deep breath and relax even more - no distractions. Then ask: "What do I want?" Make it big, audacious, fun. . .something that would get you up in the morning IF you felt you could achieve it. Now ask: "If I could get that, how would that feel?" In JANUARY, I will be talking more about this idea of INTENTION and how you can allow yourself permission to dream for what you want AND actually achieve it. - Until next time. . .Coach Deborah.

Today is the "official" start for the holiday season. Yet, I feel many of us have already begun embracing our traditions as a climax to the end of 2020. A tumultuous year in many respects, and yet, from some it has been reflective and a growth time. It is said, this year was going to have a lot of charged "energy" not unlike the years 532 or 629 or 1834 or 1866 or even 2001. This is a year that will be memorable in history, hopefully on more positive levels than negative. Ti...me will tell. The question is what will you bring forward to 2021 that will help you to grow and thrive, that will embrace others and lift them up? Set the stage for your own rebirth, as we all get on January 1. Celebrate with family and friends in a way that is comfortable to all of you. Redefine yourself, understand there are things out of our control - will we fight them or leverage them by becoming more flexible, more curious, more ingenious? The world is looking at you to be the leader in your own world, to be a light, a beacon for growth. The past is behind us, the future is ever before us. Embrace the now, today.
