Lesson 1 : You Are a Work in Progress — and That ’ s Okay

I mean at the depth of your soul do you embrace the divine imperfections you see now , the things you are still working on , and what you see looking back at you in the mirror — without judgement ?
I believe we are all here to learn to love ourselves fully . It
In my own transformational healing journey , I ’ ve dove deep to heal my stories and wounds and to learn to truly love myself . Like many other women ’ s journeys — I ’ m a work in progress . I ’ ve trained and learned from visionary leaders including Tony Robbins , Robert Kiyosaki and Sean Smith , to learn various coaching , leadership and healing methodologies in order to give me a deeper understanding of human behavior so I could support my clients in doing their inner work — as well as myself .
I ’ ve learned 4 lessons in my work with clients as well as my own journey to loving myself and I share them here with you .
Each day we get up start a new day knowing some days we made more progress than others reaching towards our goals or outcomes we have set for ourselves . There are times we reach those outcomes and set new ones while other times it seems we take several steps back and start feeling discouraged or defeated . Yes , I still feel those things on occasion . Giving ourselves grace and learning to be loving and compassionate to ourselves is an important part of the journey — which lasts our entire lifetime . Be gentle with yourself .

Sacred Story Example : I had been working a corporate job for over 15 years but was so miserable that my health was suffering . I knew that if I left , I did not want to take another job in the same field . But the thought of changing my career left me feeling lost . I had also been in the military reserves as an officer and between the two careers knew I had the skill set to make a change . I chose to follow my heart , and made the choice to do something I had always wanted to do and jumped in . That jump , though not my forever passion , led me to the sacred work I ’ m doing now , and I can say I love my life .
