Expect the Best while You’re Expecting is primarily about expectant mothers making choices that work really great for them. During this important and emotional time, I like to see women paying attention to their thoughts, feelings and energy to make choices that are fully aligned with who they are and the type of pregnancy they would ideally like to experience. I think it’s an important time to be intentional. And…wouldn’t it be great if all people were making choices that worked for them in all areas of their lives?! Could this even be possible??
I think it is possible – as much as we are paying attention. In what area of your life do you know that you are not making the choices that work best for you? (In other words, what area of your life is not looking the way you want it?) For me, it’s the process of writing the Expect the Best while You’re Expecting book. I’ve chosen recently to update the website, add more links to the blog, write blog entries, take actions to increase the mailing list – which is all great, yet it’s not getting the book written! It’s time to choose to write in the book every week and, dare I say, every day. That would be a choice that would be aligned with who I am. What actions can you take, in that area of life that’s not looking like you want it, which would be aligned with who you are?
It just takes time to reflect, consider what’s working and what isn’t, and make choices aligned with what you really want. There’s an organization that I recently learned about called This Is ME!. This Is ME provides the time and space for adolescent and teen girls to discover and explore who they are and what they are capable of accomplishing in light of their individual strengths. Isn’t that cool? How powerful to begin this type of exploration at that tender age. Check out their website. For those of you with adolescent girls in your lives there’s a section of the site dedicated to inspiring resources For Girls!
Join the conversation: Where are you and where are you not making choices aligned with who you are?
