Chasing Extraordinary

Posted on by

embraceordinary

As a Christian Life Coach I spend a lot of time listening. My clients amaze me with their courage and bravery, as they are completely authentic with me. Often times I pinch myself because I get to do the work I love.

I’ve noticed over the past few years a common underlying theme that is generally unspoken. And before I share this with you, I’ll go ahead and confess, I have lived 95% or more of my life this way too.

We are living our lives chasing the extraordinary instead of embracing the ordinary.

I believe we live in a state of fear that we will never be “good enough” or “important enough” because we are chasing the extraordinary. Truth is the extraordinary is rare. I’m not trying to be negative here, but honestly the majority of our days, hours and minutes are filled with the ordinary. For example, washing dishes, paying bills, grocery shopping, driving to work…

After thinking about embracing the ordinary, I really couldn’t get excited. Truth is I really do not like washing dishes or grocery shopping. No matter how many times I try to convince myself to see the positive and be grateful I still manage to fall back into hating the ordinary and wishing for the extraordinary. The next thing I know, I’m feeling weak, insecure and lacking confidence because my life appears to not measure up to the “extraordinary”.

But take heart my friends, because I found scripture that will shed light on the ordinary and help us push through!

“So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to preserve so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.” Hebrews 10:35-36

Will you consider shifting your perspective with me? Let’s move from chasing the extraordinary to embracing the ordinary because we have God’s promises waiting for us!

How would your life be different if you embraced the ordinary? I love hearing from you. Let me know your thought in the comments below.

Let’s set ourselves up for success next year! Instead of starting the year with “New Year’s Resolutions” once again, I’m approaching next year completely different. Over the next few weeks, I’m going to take time to reflect and journal about all the things I loved about this year.

Then when the New Year rings in, I’m going to carry over what I loved about this year to the next. Instead of “hoping” I can stick with my New Year’s Resolutions once again or even saying forget setting any goals, I’m starting a new tradition, a new perspective. Will you join me? Leave a comment below, I would love to hear from you!

Creating {Self-Love}

Posted on by

lorraine santana2

Over the past few weeks I’ve been on a bit of a quest to sincerely love myself.

This might sound like a no brainer to you, but I recently became shockingly aware that I could not give away what I don’t already have!

It broke my heart to face this reality.

After this eye-opening truth I said ENOUGH!

I will not continue to live a half-hearted life. And that is what led me to learning and creating self-love.

On my Inspirational Coaching Minute Vlog this week I asked what do you love to do so much that you lose track of time? For me, one of the things I love to do is create! Something about creating, painting, drawing brings my inner-self out and I become fully alive. I love myself in those moments and that is why I plan to make time to create more consistently.

This week I want to challenge you to take time do what you love doing and then take notice of how you feel about yourself.

I want to hear from you! What things would you do if you had endless amounts of time? Or what have you done this week to embrace self-love? Leave a comment below.

*Next Tuesday I will be doing a GIVE-AWAY on my blog!!!

Who Are You?

Posted on by

What defines who you are?

For me, it’s always been my relational and/or career status. Either I’m a wife, mother, friend, Christian, Life Coach, writer or speaker. For as long as I can remember, I’ve never felt comfortable sitting with just being me, Linda. I’ve always felt like I needed something or someone to define me.

Lately my soul has been stirring three simple words…authenticity, truth, and realness.

A few weeks ago I was taking a walk through the woods with a very special friend. It was a beautiful day so we decided to stop and sit in the middle of the trail and continue our conversation. The next thing I knew we were literally laying on our backs just staring up at the sky laughing and chatting. In that moment I couldn’t help myself but take a quick picture, it was a little glimpse of heaven. (photo below)

Lying there, sharing my soul while laughing and crying, I felt authentic; truth and realness wash over me. I thought to myself, this is me, no pretense, no performance, simply me.

This might sound a little crazy, but over the past few months I’ve been in conflict with myself and couldn’t figure out why. And then as I was working through some of my coaching material it hit me right between the eyes. I’ve not been living out of my core values.

Everyone has unique values that are highly important to him or her. For me, my #1 value is authenticity. And if I live any other way, I end up lacking peace and joy in my life. Because it was so easy for me to get out of balance with my life values, I want to encourage you today to take a moment and write an inventory of what you value most. Ask yourself if you’ve been living out of your values and if not what will you do to get back on track.

I invite you to share with me in the comments your top 3 life values. I would love to hear from you!

The Pressure to “Be Someone”

Posted on by

Do you ever catch yourself feeling insignificant?

As I was talking with a close friend on the phone several weeks ago I uttered these words, “I’m learning to accept me right where I am today. No matter if I live another day on this earth, I am enough right where I am, right in this moment.”

It was like a breath of fresh air washed over my soul.

Ahhhhh….what a relief to accept myself for who I am today. Thank you Jesus!

From my very first childhood memory I had expectations to “be someone”. I never identified clearly what that “someone” was supposed to do or who she was suppose to be, but it’s always lingered over me.

For goodness sakes, we live in a world that screams being famous or onstage means you are “someone” of significance.

I’ve struggled my entire life with feeling unworthy. I’ve never truly felt good enough…whatever good enough is?

Four years ago as I awoke from a month-long coma to find out I had been miraculous healed, it was too much to bare. Honestly it’s taken every bit of four years for me to wrap my brain around God’s love and grace for my life.

As I move forward in the calling He has placed on my soul, I find myself juggling authenticity and significance.

I’m learning and starting to accept that I am significant, pure, holy, loving, precious and worthy in His sight.

The need to “be someone” is an outright lie from the enemy. There’s only one person that needs to “be someone” in our lives and that is Jesus Christ.

I want to encourage you today, that YOU ARE SOMEONE, that you too are significant, pure, holy, loving, precious and worthy in Christ.

I invite you to change your perspective with me.

Have you been trying to “be someone” and yet just ended up with feelings of emptiness? We are not in this alone. I would love to hear your thoughts today. Leave me a comment below.
