Check. Us. Out. Halfway through 2021. Don’t know about you, but things just keep getting better (and worse) for me.
Cuz’ that’s kinda how life goes. You win some, you lose some and you keep on walking. #warriorbees
And the fun thing is, there are six months left in 2021 – ripe for the picking.
Yours to make exactly what you wanted when you opened your day planner on January 1, 2021 with a fresh year spread ahead.
I’m dropping in here now to remind you of my very favorite New Year’s tip that you use even if it’s not New Year’s Day: the best way to predict the future is to carefully curate the way you tell the story of the past. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Was the first half of 2021 a disaster? A triumph? An exercise in survival? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t get me wrong – I’m all for telling the truth about the hurt you’re experiencing. The trials you’ve faced. The losses you’ve suffered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is a time and place to feel all that through. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BUT… that time is NOT when you are looking ahead toward a blank canvas of tomorrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What was true and painful January through June of this year doesn’t have to be so July through December.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why not spend some time – today or tomorrow, today AND tomorrow – recounting all of the ways you’ve been crushing it so far this year? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How you were an amazing wife. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How you were kind and understanding to yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How you stretched your potential and reached your goals.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Those stories are there. I’m SURE of it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And when you start any morning from the place of remembering how much you created and how loving you are… that’s exactly what you’ll make more of the rest of the day.
That’s the way of the Warrior Bee.
Warrior Bees. That’s us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All of us.
You are the hero of your life. Your marriage. Any time you want to be.
And evaluating the first half of 2021 in a way that has you stoked to rock the year out strong is the very best strategy to keep you shining.
So tell the loveliest story possible about yourself, your marriage and your life – then make all of that true moving forward.
Can’t wait to see how you make it all play out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Warrior. Bees. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every single one of you.
