Kate Lally Coaching

Over and over and over again.

Reflecting on how this has and continues to play out in my own life, too.

We always have a choice.

As you step away from the "shoulds" and from people and places that call on you out of a sense of obligation, you create space to tend to the parts of yourself that long to be seen, held, heard and nourished.

If we never tend to these parts and learn to water our souls, we will always stay where it is safe and familiar, instead of venturing into the unknown where our magic comes alive. ✨

Lately I’ve noticed a sneaky pattern of mine that I’ve been allowing to hold me back, and it took a real life event to bring it to my attention.

The other night my husband was telling a story in the car on the way home from a show. Being the boisterous story-teller that he is, he was using his hands and knocked the rear view mirror right down from the window and it fell right into my lap. (For the record, it had fallen off and been put back on years before, but this knocked it down for good.)

Talk about a metaphor for what I needed to see.

His arm hitting that rear view mirror into my lap led me to see the lesson I needed.

As we drove the last mile home with no way to see what was behind us, I couldn’t help but see the irony of what it was showing me. With only one way to look — forward — it helped me see a pattern in which I’ve been incessantly looking through the rear view mirror of my life, instead of staying focused on the road ahead.

Holding onto the past is a sneaky pattern.

Here’s how it works:

If we keep holding onto who we’ve been and use the past as evidence for where we’re headed, we play it safe and see ourselves as small.

But that’s not how this growth thing works.

👉🏼 Your past does NOT define you; it only informs your present and shows you who you were once upon a time.

👉🏼 YOU get to choose where you are headed.

👉🏼 When you take conscious control of your light and your life, YOU get to steer the ship in a new direction.

Yes, some circumstances are out of our control, but all we can do is keep taking charge of what is in our control (our energy, our beliefs, our habits and behaviors) and we can literally create an entirely new outcome and become a new version of ourselves.

The future is ours.

What do you want to make of it?

If you’re ready to take the reigns and consciously create your life in 2024, I’m your gal.

I’ve got 2 spots available in January. If you book a call before 1/1, I will honor my rates before they increase in 2024.

Here’s to not looking back and not holding yourself back. ✌🏼

Thanks to my hubby for the photos 😘
