Carry On!

Last week we took a look at the final C of the 8 Cs of Self-Leadership from the IFS-Institute. Originally, I intended that to be the final entry in this series, but I've been thinking all week of another C - Carry On. 

Not the luggage, but the action.

I shared each week that I hoped this series would help to create some positive focus as we continued to move our way into 2025.  That one idea alone speaks to how much I believe that life is truly a journey, and that each day brings another opportunity to keep learning and growing. So, I thought I would take one more week and leave you with a very simple recap of the 8 Cs and then ask some simple questions about how to Carry On in this journey.

Calm - actively cultivating a greater sense of peace and serenity that counteracts being so reactive to circumstances

Curiosity - embracing exploration and discovery as primary approaches to life

Confidence - living with the perspective that no matter what may come, it can be faced with purpose

Compassion - being open-heartedly present and appreciative of others and myself

Creativity - looking at life from new perspectives and without predetermined outcomes in mind

Courage -  remembering it isn't necessary to turn off fear, but to simply turn up the courage dial

Clarity - focusing on life and circumstances with honesty and objectivity

Connectedness - paying attention to particular and universal connections that cultivate feeling supported 

If you were to Carry On with just one of these over the course of the next month or so, which one do you think would be the most impactful for you? How could you continue to lean into growing and cultivating that C in your journey of life? If you were going to create some type of tool or reminder for yourself to help you Carry On in that focus, what would it be - a new mantra? A post it note on your computer or mirror at home? A new screen saver on your computer or phone? Finally, who could you share this with as a way to help you Carry On in this journey of growth and learning? How could they support you as you keep moving forward into 2025?

Let's Carry On - this week and beyond!

Be Well,

Stephen
