Be In the Present

Are you good at being in the present moment (even the hard moments or seasons) and gleaning what can be beneficial from the experience? Or, do you pine for time lost with regret and sorrow? Do you get anxiety thinking of all the things not yet happened to the point of overwhelm?

Benefits of Being In the Present

The benefits of being in the present are numerous! Enjoying the people, places and moments right where you are makes everyone enjoy the moment more. Making memories with those you love can bring comfort and calm. Also, being in the present is peaceful. When you can intentionally focus on the moment where you are and focus on who you are with, a contentment abides with you, too.

Pitfalls of not Being In the Present

There are many pitfalls to watch for. Thinking of times past leads to sorrow and regret and steals moments away from the ones you love or the places you are right in front of you. Thinking ahead to what you need to do heaps anxiety and overwhelm into your mind which also steals away moments you could be having with loved ones and places. It is only when we start to think back or forward and take our mind off the present that we start to drown.

What To Do?

Tell yourself no amount of regret, sorrow or guilt will change the past. So, you can plan better for the future so you have no regrets when the future becomes the past.

When you look back and reflect, I want you to be satisfied with your effort, your responses and your memories.

Adoption Reimagined: Don't Ever Quit

It sure has been a minute since I last updated about my book, Adoption Reimagined. I haven't quit! I have made progress towards my publishing goal.

How about you? What goal did you make in 2023? Did you make it a priority or get distracted and put it on the back burner?

I got distracted, I admit, but I never put it on the back burner or threw in the towel. I continued to make plans, decisions and steps that directly related to my end goal.

I tried to write every morning. I continued to gain knowledge about adoption by talking to others in the adoption arena. I read other's stories. I made a logo. I worked with my publisher every month. I added a marketing expert to my team. I let others read my manuscript to critique it and make it better. I had photos made to launch my book. I have sent all the chapters to my editor for final review.

Every step was a step towards my goal. Your goal may not be to write a book. What is your goal? What steps have you made towards accomplishing your goal?

I have been working on this book for about 5 years. So, never ever quit! Never give up! Just keep moving forward because steps towards your goal is progress.

I also added some cheerleaders, prayer warriors and encouragers to my team. Who do you have that can support you, encourage you and kick you in the pants if needed? We are not meant to DO life alone! It was not good for Adam to be alone. We are created to be in relationship with one another.

Challenge

• What is your goal?

• What choice can you make that keeps your goal a priority?

• How can you eliminate distractions that take you away from your goal?

• Who can you add to your team to help you with the details so you don't get off course with the minutia?

• Who can you ask to cheer you on and pray for you?

Whatever it is you are struggling with, I would love to be your cheerleader and help you plan the next steps that are right for you.

New Beginnings...Before January

The year is winding down. It is usually the time to evaluate what went well and what needs attention. However, for me, it is time for a new beginning and I won't wait until January. With a little hard work and extra hours, it is ready NOW.

I'm Erin and I am the founder of Steeped In Purpose. I am a Certified Life Coach and Mental Health Coach for women. I began Steeped In Purpose, in 2016 because I saw so many women settling for timidity and secretly suppressing their God-given gifts. I focus on advancing emotional, mental, physical, relational and spiritual health in a positive, forward motion to help women gain confidence and worth.

I offer new perspectives, coping skills and strategies to overcome fear, anger and resentment even when circumstances are not ideal. My aim is to help you acknowledge your part in healing and growth and realize you are not alone.

To learn more about the programs I offer, go to my website, www.steepedinpurpose.com

I am jumping in with both feet to offer selected courses each month, starting in January with Weigh Down for your physical health and Goal Planning to get your year moving in a positive direction. I am also so close to completing a mini-course for business minded entrepreneurs called Align Your Message, Share Your Mission: Uncluttered. I will also be launching more information on my new project, Adoption Reimagined. So, keep a look out.

For now, I hope you make time to peruse the content at my website: www.steepedinpurpose.com There is plenty to explore and it is changing weekly. Sign up to receive my Purpose Periodicals that include upcoming events and courses and if coaching seems like the best next step for you, don't wait, schedule a Chat with me so see if I can help you.

Romans 15:13, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
