Do you know your Universal assignments?

I had a Universal assignment to lose my sister when I was 11 years old.

So that I would learn about loss very early on. And would be able to support others through loss later in my life.

I had a Universal assignment to have an alcoholic father.

I chose him so that I would be independent and learn not to depend on men but to take 100% responsibility for my life.

I had a Universal assignment that school didn’t come easy for me.

I placed an order for 2 kids that share the same struggle.

I also believe this is a reward life for me. That I am meant prosper. Another Universal assignment.

My husband and I have a Universal assigment to be together and raise these kids together. AND it’s a Universal assignment that he has a temper and that we’re so incredibly opposite. (Hint: these Universal assignments are also insights into the Price of Admission, mentioned in my last email, meaning things we should NOT bitch about…) 

My son being born early and colicky was a Universal assignment. I was meant to experience that so that I would really understand what women go through and so that I could more appreciate the good times.

I have a Universal assignment to travel the world. It lights my soul on fire.

I have a Universal assignment to be surrounded by transformational leaders and amazing humanitarians.

So I’ll be challenged to raise the bar and always inspired to do better.

I have a Universal assignment to teach what I know. I can’t experience anything without then teaching it.

I have a Universal assignment to help Moms find more lasting happiness.

It’s why I’m here. And what fulfills me.

What are your Universal assignments?

THE POWER OF INTENTIONS

THE POWER OF INTENTIONS

I launched a rocket of desire before this school year for the right and perfect teacher.

I got specific in my request.

I asked the Universe for a teacher who was…

Positive. Focused on gratitude. Catered to all learning styles. Very sweet and nurturing. Used a lot of verbal and visual cues. A great communicator. And who really understood my kids needs for breaks and movement.

I can say with 100% certainty that I got the right and perfect teacher for my kids this year.

What a blessing.
What a relief.

THE POWER OF INTENTION.

In Zoes classroom this morning I sat in on their morning meeting before a field trip.

Listen to some of this magic!!!

They greeted each other by looking in each other’s eyes and shaking hands and saying good morning in Japanese. Yep, Japanese!

THEN they went around the room and shared something they were grateful for!!! (Hold back the tears…)

How amazing!! To do that every morning?! Starting your day at school focused on gratitude?! (You know I was crying…)

So so grateful for this amazing teacher. And for this beautiful day. And for this life experience!!

Intention is a POWERFUL thing.

Have you set a powerful intention lately?

What are you waiting for?

Set one now,

ON COURSE CORRECTING

ON COURSE CORRECTING

I get triggered.

OFTEN.

I have as many challenges as anyone I know. Even though I do this work, working on myself and my inner peace and my happiness, I still get angry. I make mistakes. I lose my temper. I show up as a wounded version of myself.

As much as I try to be that monk on the hill and let all things roll off my back, it doesn’t always happen. I try to channel my inner Nelson Mandela but sometimes I just can’t find it.

There’s one thing I DO know how to do in those situations. I know how to COURSE CORRECT.

First, I’m AWARE of the situation. Not blindly raging thinking it’s everyones fault but my own. I OWN IT. I know it’s about ME. No one else.

I can identify when I’m triggered and I know it’s MY RESPONSIBILITY NOT TO GET TRIGGERED. It’s not the worlds responsibility not to trigger me.

I know that I’m in control of my reactions. No one MAKES ME MAD. I chose to get mad. No one hurts me, I allow myself to BE hurt, or feel hurt. I’m either taking things personally or I’m in my own lane. I’m in my business or their business. What they do or say has nothing to do with me. Unless I let it.

So I find peace in my COURSE CORRECTIONS.

Trying every day to course correct as quickly as possible. So my moments of peace are long and luscious. And my moment of suffering and despair are few and far between. The faster I can course correct the quicker I come back to the true essence of who I am.

HOW do I course correct?

I do the work on my thoughts. I shift to gratitude. I cancel the thought and reach for a better feeling thought. I move into appreciation for this life and even for the situation. My happiness depends on it.

And one thing I know for sure. This life is worth it. It’s too important to walk around wounded and resentful. Drinking poison thinking other people will die. I know better. And DO better, as soon as I can get there.

How do YOU course correct?

Shifting now,

Steff
