Year in Review!

It’s officially been one year since I started this amazing journey writing to all of you who are reading. I want to start by saying that I truly appreciate your support, kind words, and motivation to keep me going on! When I first started this reflection on my past, I honestly can say I was of a different mindset. I was out to blame others for why I was me for so long. You cannot blame other people for your shortcomings. You own them. We may not have been taught appropriately at times due to upbringing, school, social networking, and overall life experiences. However, we have to keep in mind if we weren’t taught right, what were others going through at that moment in time. What don’t we know? My counselor always ask me this if I am currently working through a situation. If someone comes across short, indecisive, moody; please know, it is not about you! Everyone owns their own feelings. Give them time and if it is a common occurrence, maybe the universe is telling you, it’s time to move on.

So, I started writing this blog, I joined and graduated a nurse coaching program, got off of all my day time meds, signed up for a year long mentorship to help with my coaching business, ended a long relationship, and took time to take care of myself for once! Lots accomplished and I am only getting started. I am realizing the only person who can make you happy, is you. If you depend on others to make you happy, you have a journey ahead of you. Please take the leap into doing the work and figuring out what you want most out of life. Whether it be a new job, new relationships, self care, a new hobby, or just a plain new you. You owe it to yourself. Wherever you go, you are the only one leading the way. Lead by example, by positivity, by love, and my favorite, your intuition. Your intuition is the best signal you receive when change is needed. If situations are not sitting right, tap into why they are not. You have time to search for the answers. There is always a solution to a problem. Is it a problem? Or, is it just an experience you need to overcome by addressing your feelings?

As I sit here reflecting on this year, I mostly think about how positivity gets you on a frequency which helps makes experiences effortless. It’s a frequency you may want to experience. Yes, I have my negative moments still, but they are less, and they are forgotten because I can’t live in the past anymore, it’s not there! If you are stuck living in the past, you are not going to move forward, you are stuck. Those are called bad feelings because feelings are the only remnant remaining from the past. Not situations, just feelings. Talk them out, write them down, whatever you have to create, to live in the present moment and know you in the right place for now. Write your goals down, read, and envision them. You have to put forth the effort!

Now, to those who think my transformation this last year is just a bunch of hocus pocus; I don’t care what you think, you never reached out to ask. If you are still hesitant when reading these, that is ok. I don’t expect to hear from you until you fully believe, but that is not on me, it’s on you. My goal was to write one post a week! Well, I surpassed it! 61 posts! I am off to the first ever nurse coaching conference and I am so excited to meet my peers who are on the train to change healthcare. It’s called prevention. Prevention is what healthcare should be all about. It’s not. But I am hopeful it will be and I get to spend time with 200 others who are part of the change. It’s coming! I can feel it! Once again, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to read my journey. So blessed and ever so grateful!

Always,

Brooke, RN
