7 Silver Linings Of A Quarantine Manicure

When salons were forced to close due to the pandemic, many of us had to figure out a new manicure plan for presenting our hands and feet to the world.

Perhaps you had a conversation that said, “Self? You better learn to do your own manicure.”

One Effective Choice To Make When Creating Your Purpose

We are all faced with unexpected challenges when creating our purpose.

We can’t always be prepared for the most difficult challenges that come our way.

Perhaps there’s something going on behind the scenes for you today that people don’t see.

The good news is this: Your difficulty doesn’t need to leave you stuck or stopped.

You have a choice in every challenge you encounter.

One Powerful Sentence To Repeat When Creating Your Purpose

We all want the opportunity to follow our dreams and create purpose in our lives because it gives us meaning.

When you are immersed in your purposeful role as an empowered and supportive wife, you rely on your own internal dialogue, with a determined conversation that starts with:

[‘SELF? I can handle whatever life puts in front of me because I am capable and confident!“]

Healthy self-talk is an important component in managing your marriage, your family, and your personal goals and dreams.

You know you were created for more–more purpose!

My last blog post hinted about something else that can happen along the way in the pursuit of creating your greater purpose:

You can find yourself in the midst of a major challenge or crisis.

All of a sudden, something shifts.

The One Secret To Know When Creating Your Purpose

We all want to have purpose in our lives because it gives us meaning.

When you step into the purposeful role as the wife of a busy guy–who has his nose in his job–you aren’t handed a blueprint to follow with basic tools that will equip you for the job.

You rely on your own internal dialogue, with a conversation that starts with a bit of gung-ho:

[“Self? I can handle whatever life puts in front of me because I’m capable and confident!“]

Something inside of you knows you can successfully manage your new purpose of taking on the role as a supportive wife.

You also secretly hope that luck will intervene when necessary.

You start out in confidence, but as you delve deeper into the unknown, you discover numerous challenges along the way.

You get through every storm, your purpose becomes more familiar, and life gets easier.

Then over time, something shifts.
