Happy New Year 2018, <<First Name>> !
I realize it is already February, however, I have been doing a lot of personal reflection, planning and hopefully the result will be significant spiritual growth! The Cycle of Change in my life has been at the forefront of my contemplation and I thought it might be good to address this common, universal aspect of life with some tools to guide us through the process!
 The Cycle of Change is like a card game. There is the shuffle, the deal, play the hand and the toss in! In the game of life we go through each of these stages in different aspects of our lives all the time. Sometimes it feels like a vortex sucking us in against our will!
When we intentionally become aware of the stage you are in, that awareness will lead to a better understanding of where you are going and where (an how) you want to be. Each phase of a card game is characterized by different actions, feelings and thoughts: picking up cards, putting down cards, making decisions and of course, the luck of the draw. 
Where are you in this cycle in your personal relationships, career, health & wellness, stage of life, finances, creativity or spiritual growth?
Once you determine where you are in “the game of life” ask yourself these two questions:
What is MINE to do in this situation? (Something I can change)
What is NOT MINE to do in this situation? (Trying to fix or change others)
NOW turn your problem into a project!
""I have this problem." Immediately the mind turns to dark meanings and impassable obstacles and impossible people. A much better word to employ when referring to some kind of challenge is project. Note what happens when you say, "I have this 'project?’" It makes all the difference in the world. The word project suggests a positive endeavor of development. "
― from "Spiritual Economics: The Principles and Process of True Prosperity"
If you would like some help and guidance around turning your problem into a project, working with a coach is a great opportunity to engage an impartial partner that will support and challenge you, but will not do the work. That, my friend, is yours to do!
Mastermind groups, as well and individual coaching are a great way to use a positive group energy to turn your problems into doable projects! I am currently in a Mastermind Facilitation Training course and will begin hosting my own mastermind groups in late February. If you are interested in learning more, I will be hosting "taster" mastermind groups for you to experience. Click here to learn more about mastermind groups and then reach out to me if you are interested! I am in the process of creating new groups!
Happy February, much love and gratitude to you!
In the Spirit of Strengths,
Jennifer
