Make Your Mess a Message: Ways People Use Change to Help Others

 At some point, you’re going to come to terms with your changes. The tough ones feel very messy when you are going through them...but one day, after you’ve moved through the grief and loss cycle, you’ll come to the place of acceptance. In this place comes the opportunity to make your mess a message.

 I’ve witnessed some people go through a messy change and never recover while others go through it and come out the other side determined to use it for benefit. The fact remains that some people make the most of what they have been through and find ways to use change to help others. I know that I feel called to share the lessons from my mess...that's what started this lifestyle blog, my books, and my lifestyle membership: A Pilgrimage to Self.

Here are a few examples that I've experienced:

 Writing a book: Some people share their journey by writing a memoir or nonfiction book about their story. Perhaps they share the specific journey, or they teach what they learned along the way. Writing a book is a good way to leave a legacy and help unlimited people who may need support. Currently, I'm writing my memoir, A Pilgrimage to Self, to share my spiritual journeys across northern Spain on the Camino de Santiago and the life lessons I connected with.

 Public speaking: From keynotes to small table talks, public speaking is a great way to share a message and make an emotional impact on others face-to-face. Public speaking offers an intimate way to send a message and make a big impact. It is such an honor to connect to others, to let them know they are not on this journey alone, and that overcoming major life events can lead to an inspiring and encouraging message. My mission is to help others awaken their authentic selves...to design an Intentional Life filled with purpose, self-love, and kindness...there is great value in sharing your message, whether on a one on one basis or to entire room filled with others open to hearing your message.

 Blogging: Blogging is a lot like writing a book but can include dialogue with people who appreciate the message and resonate with what is being said. Blogging can be a very intimate way to connect with others and keep fresh information circulating about your story. Readers have shared that my lifestyle blog has shared valuable information, strategies, and inspiration to help in their lives. The blog is a way for me to share my personal story, my journey, and the lessons from A Pilgrimage to Self Lifestyle Coaching Membership. A quick search on the Internet will provide you lots of ideas for writing your own blog.

 Creating a foundation or charity: Depending on the nature and scope of your message, you may want to begin an organization that deals directly with the issue you’ve faced and overcome. Starting a new charity or business that serves a specific population can mean large amounts of people benefit from your efforts. My mission is to help other women who have experienced trauma, abuse, heartbreak, anxiety and depression heal and move on and forward with their lives by setting personal boundaries, finding and living with purpose, and being intentional with their decisions.

 Once the dust has settled and you have waded through the difficult times, there’s a chance for you to make your mess into a message. To give bigger meaning to the lessons you’ve learned and pay forward the benefits you have found. This is a wonderful way to give meaning to something that may have been totally unwelcome and unwanted but you embraced nonetheless. Enjoy the rewarding feeling of turning that which could have stopped you into something that made you unstoppable.

 This is the time of year that many people begin to think about new year's resolutions by reflecting on their lives. What experiences and lessons have you learned in 2019...what direction do you want your life to go in and what steps must you take?

With the presents opened and the wrappings cleared away, it's important that you take a moment and plan your next best steps in your life. I want to encourage you to give yourself the gift of awakening your authentic self.

That's what I've designed my NEW YEAR, NEW YOU program to do...guide you on discovering, designing, and developing YOUR next Best steps!
