What If This Year, Life Happens For You?

✨ 2025 GOAL: THRIVE NOW!✨ 

Breakroom Buddha Community Theme: 2025 is the year to THRIVE! This year I’m dedicated to sharing valuable gems and resources to help you make this your best year yet.

Let’s commit to asking ourselves one powerful question all year long:

“How can I thrive right now?”

There’s a powerful shift that happens when we realize we have the ability to shape our lives, not just react to them.

Too often, it feels like life is happening to us:

• Stress piles up.

• Responsibilities feel overwhelming.

• Time for ourselves seems to vanish.

I remember feeling this way not too long ago. I was stuck in a cycle of "victim mentality." My job felt like a dead end. I worked hard, but I couldn’t figure out how to grow, and deep down, I felt like I was being taken advantage of.

That’s when my mentor stepped in and said something I’ll never forget:

It hit me like a lightning bolt. I realized I had been waiting for someone to notice my efforts, and waiting for my circumstances to change.

But nothing was going to shift until I took ownership of my path.

And now, I want to be that mentor for you as you work through what I call the “Notice Me” cycle. The place where we wait for external validation instead of stepping into our own power.

This past month, we got real about what it takes to thrive right now, not someday, not when things calm down, but today. We explored:

• Gratitude: Recognizing what’s good, even in the chaos.

• Mindset: Cultivating a growth-oriented perspective.

• Grounding: Staying present so you can act with intention.

• Setting Big Goals: Setting clear, aligned goals that reflect your vision.

• Personal Branding: Showcasing your unique value to open doors.

• Monetization: Turning your skills into income opportunities.

These practices remind us that momentum isn’t something we stumble upon, it’s something we create, one intentional step at a time.

The truth is:

But what if, instead of feeling pulled by the current, you decided to steer the ship? What if this year, you chose to make life happen for you…on your terms?

Steer Your Ship

As we close out January, I invite you to take one bold step toward reclaiming your time, your peace, and your joy.

If you’ve enjoyed the reflection prompts I’ve been sharing, here are a few more to guide you this week:
1️⃣ Reflect: What’s one area of your life where you’ve been letting life happen to you?
2️⃣ Reframe: How can you shift your mindset to make things happen for you?
3️⃣ Act: Commit to one small but intentional action that aligns with this new perspective.

Did you know:

You’re not alone, but the good news is, you have the power to change it.

An Invitation to Transform

If you’re ready to take a bigger step toward empowerment, I’d love to invite you to join me in Costa Rica for a week of renewal and clarity.

🌴 Here’s what awaits you:

• Morning yoga and mindfulness to center your mind, body, and soul.

• A Rebel Workshop Series, hosted by me, designed to reconnect you with your vision and life purpose.

• Time and space to truly reflect on how you can design a life that happens for you.

This retreat is your chance to step away from the noise, dive deep into your creative self, meet a community of like-minded action takers, and experience breakthroughs that will last a lifetime.
