September is the nine month of the year. The number nine represents the end of a cycle.
Perhaps this is the moment to end any cycle about ignoring nature or the environment? Perhaps this is a month to begin a cycle, planting trees or bulbs that will bloom in the spring, or getting outdoors more regularly or helping Mother Earth in some way. Perhaps this is the month to look within and see how you are changing – ever evolving?
In some parts of the country, the changing leaves engage the most reluctant nature lover to go outside. In other parts, the barely turning leaves signal the start of the change.
How is the changing of the leaves a symbol of change for you? How are you doing “shifting” your view of your relationships with your “Self, “ your family, your significant other, your partner or spouse that is evolving to a new fulfilling life - a new awareness of you?
Ask yourself: “What “shift” am I willing to make to return to who I really am - my purpose – my passion? How am I experiencing joy and satisfaction in every thing I do? How am I aligning who I am with my values, gifts, talents and beliefs? Am I making decisions based on my values – or someone else’s?
You may want to ponder some questions while outdoors this month. Take a pad of paper and pen and answer these questions:
What is nature’s role in my life?
How can I expand my relationship with animals?
How can I expand my relationship with the Earth?
How can I expand my relationship with who I am?
What wants to happen next?
What is the creative side of me that I want to express?
What steps am I taking to allow myself to just “be” me?
As a Relationship Coach, I help my clients when they have finished working with “past issues like anger, resentment, and blame with a therapist.
The client schedules coaching by phone with me to identify what s/he wants in their relationship right now. S/he describes what a healthy relationship looks like – whether it is better communication skills to state with confidence what they want and how they feel? Perhaps they may want to learn how to “set boundaries” with others. Other priorities?
I ask them to tell me: “What is present right now - -what really matters now.” I help them develop a strategy to move toward a productive satisfying life of singleness with purpose.
What do you want in your life? What kind of relationship do you desire? What is important to you? Enhanced collaborative communication with others? A healthy, happy relationship with someone who reflects your divine essence? Other?
Are you “playing it safe” and living your life just like you did last year?
If you knew you only had six months to live, would you live your life differently?
What would you stop putting off to next year?
What would you make a priority?
What would you really be doing, so that you felt joy, happiness, and peace?
Would you start doing what you really “love” to do that comes easily and effortlessly because it is your gift?
Or are you willing to settle for a relationship that doesn’t bring any joy or satisfaction?
Are you willing to release control and “flow” with what your inner voice is telling you, so you can feel that inner peace you desire? Only you can take the next step to make it happen. It is your choice.
My wish for each and every one of you is that you are living your heart’s desire. You deserve the best life, the best relationships, good health, and prosperity!
