Thoughts, Inspiration and Teachings by Coach Emily
Grit and the Human Spirit
When I think of grit and the human spirit, I remember the balcony songs in Italy during Covid, the resilience of healthcare workers, and the creativity that kept us going. Even through grief, loss, and uncertainty, we find the strength to carry on — and even to thrive. We are stronger than we often realize.
You are enough
“It’s a lifestyle… now live it!” I love this tag line from Organic Spa Magazine. It’s simple and directive. It’s says to me that living a healthy lifestyle is the foundation for creating and manifesting a wonderful life, and that each of us is responsible for claiming this ownership and making the most of it. Fabulous! Seems simple, right?
Positive impact
Imagine that you are an antenna and that your whole being, like a radio station, is broadcasting mood music into the world around you in all directions. You are, you know. Everyone is. We transmit messages about what we think or feel without even speaking out loud. You likely know someone whose very entrance into a room lifts up your spirits and makes you smile and someone else who has the opposite effect, perhaps causing you to feel uncomfortable or your mood to sink. We are always having impact, either positive or negative. I was an adult when I put words to this awareness, and it sparked in me the answer to my lifelong question, “What is my purpose in life?”
Cultivating your nurturing parent
Imagine for a moment that you have 24/7 access to the wisest, most loving, truthful and inspiring person on the planet. This sage knows everything about you; your strengths and weaknesses, your deepest secrets and greatest hurts, your darkest shame and hidden dreams….and unconditionally loves you anyway. Awesome, right?
Now, what if I told you that you are this person.
