Conforming

"Remember we are surrounded by messages to conform. The only way to resist is to be true to that inner voice" -Cecile Andrews


What does conforming mean to you?

How do you stay connected to that inner voice that can support you to stay true to yourself and why would you want to?

Consider what your life might look like if you spent more time checking in with yourself and not getting caught up in doing something just because everyone else does it.

Are they having fun?

I can't tell you the number of times I have had a parent share how stressed they are at having such a full schedule of kids activities but “oh well, we all do this”. I always think about my father who would often say "if your best friend jumped off a cliff would you just jump after her??" We don't "all" do that and by making global statements about what “we” do inadvertently pressures others to conform.

It takes courage, reflection, and well thought out choices to make the most of your time. Create the life you truly want by connecting, reflecting and redirecting your choices from that inner voice!

Coaching for connection, balance and health.
