‘Newness’
This week has seen the arrival of a lot of ‘Newness’. Some of you may have noticed a subtle change in my logo, and this blog itself has been renamed to ‘The Buzz’. The logo change makes way for an exciting new chapter and the development of our wearable merchandise (more to come on this!). During the past few weeks I have been coaching a small group of incredible humans, it was during this time that I decided to rename my coaching group ‘The Hive’ as it seemed more apt for my group of buzzing bees. My Hive is a wonderful group of humans, they are all at totally different stages of their life and journey to find their inner confidence and happiness. I am thoroughly enjoying working with each of them and I think they are all making incredible progress.
‘New’ can be scary, ‘New’ can be daunting, ‘New’ can be overwhelming but whilst its easy to get caught up in how big something ‘New’ feels its also massively important to recognise how exciting ‘New’ can be too. New could be the start of something that changes your life. Every new experience we have, leaves a mark in our story. Sometimes that mark is a tiny spec on that particular page of your story, other times that mark is monumental, sometimes that mark is earth shatteringly life changing. What if we avoid anything new because its scary or daunting .. we would miss out on all the incredible things that happen to us. If we avoid newness we would never grow, we would never learn and possibly most importantly we would never experience anything.
I like to think of life as being made up of chapters like a book. Your whole life makes up one perfectly imperfect book, imagine getting to be part of one of those chapters? THAT is what is like to be part of your life. We never get the opportunity to rewrite a chapter, but why should we? Why shouldn’t we just learn from it? Why don’t we just take it in, just like we do when we read a book? Some chapters are mundane, so much so that we might even struggle to be invested in the story. Some chapters are full of drama and have you screaming at the pages begging it to give your heart a break while others have your heart so cocooned in pillowy soft clouds that your feet barely touch the ground. Every single one of these chapters makes you who you are, each one contributes to the incredible human that you are and THAT is a gift. To be part of just one sentence in your life is a privilege, YOU get to be the main character.
