A \u2018personal observation\u2019 about choosing to survive vs thrive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I use the word thrive, a lot! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heck, my women’s membership is called 3<\/a>65 Thrive<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But when someone said I hope you are thriving to me, here was the response in my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, I am, thanks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n More thriving and not just surviving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This thought is a revelation to me because I have done considerable work to find that space. Because thriving is a choice, and surviving is too. It is entirely up to you which one you want to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thriving is a choice, and surviving is too<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n There comes a time in your life, or maybe several times, when life sits on you too heavily. Shaking off the mindset you needed to adopt to ‘survive’ can get lost or forgotten because you get so used to being in that survivor mode. It can hang around a little too long. Sometimes years! Survive vs Thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Calling yourself out and creating the opportunity to swing that old thinking pattern around is worth the effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultimately, it comes down to choosing whether you are willing to put it down and step into a new fabulous, opportunity-filled space, or will you keep it wrapped around you like a cashmere, cosy, warm, safe but restrictive comfort blanket?<\/p>\n\n\n\n You see, ALL the life you want is in the work you don\u2019t want to do, whether physically or mentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Digging in for a mental round with yourself will always pay dividends. You might get professional help or additional self-help in the form of reading, podcasts or whatever appeals to you. But be open to the change and the new you trying so hard to emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
