You know that “crud” that was circulating for a while. Yeah I, too, was a host to a virus. My assistant, Rachelle, said that she hoped I could get some good rest and wake up feeling like a new person.
I joked with her that I’d choose who I was going to be, as a new person, in the morning.
And then it struck me. I wasn’t joking.
We get to choose who we wish to be every moment of every day. When I’m sick, which happens so rarely – I made it through 2024 without an illness – I never say that I caught a cold. I say that my body is hosting a virus right now. I certainly didn’t “catch” it. And I’m not happy that my body is hosting it. I do know that my body is doing whatever it needs to do to right itself.
My body gives me signals about what to eat and how much (more) sleep I need to allow this thing to work through its process. I just need to pay attention.
Don’t we all.
Don’t. We. All.
Okay, back to that Becoming A New Person concept.
It’s this simple.
You can choose to be who you want to be.
I work with a lot of leaders who, it may surprise you to learn, want to gain a little bit more confidence. It’s okay to be a leader and not feel fully confident. And it’s okay to work on having more confidence every day. In fact, no matter where you are in your life, you could probably step up just a little more here and there.
So what would you do, how would you be if you were a little more confident?
How would you be if you were that bit sexier? Imagine how you would show up at work or at home if you were just a little more (you get to fill in this blank for yourself)!
Want to feel like a new person today? Walk around acting like – or knowing that – you know a secret that no one else knows. Try that and see what happens. Don’t get smug. Don’t be a poo-head about it. Just know, deep inside, that you have a good secret that no one else knows.
You can choose to be who you want today.
When I go to bed and awaken after a good sleep, I awaken with the sense of wonder. I’m excited about the day and I’m curious who – and how – I will be of service to others.
Who do you want to be today?
Keep making your magic and I’ll see you here next week.
