Give Your Gifts a New Beginning
I put a stake in the ground last week, boldly proclaiming the importance of walking in your gifts. Now, you may say: That is unrealistic for me. I have bills to pay, I have a family…, etc. While this may be true, it does not preclude you from using your gifts. You have the power to create a new beginning anytime you want!
A New Beginning
A new beginning is a decision to unchain yourself from self-limiting beliefs and tendencies, so as to then use your gifts in the manner that you’ve avoided due to fear and doubt. It is the process of shattering that glass ceiling (I have to wait until___ to do ____. ) I value the importance of intentionality and moving with purpose and prudence--unless that “prudence” is rooted in fear-based thinking.
If you struggle to recognize your gifts, ask yourself what activity brings you the most joy and comes very natural as if it flows from the depths of your soul while doing it? Such activities can reveal your many gifts. Once you know what those gifts are, take a step in manifesting those gifts into the areas that you’ve avoided. If one of those pesky Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTS) try to talk you out of it, use this tool to reframe.
In my own life, for example, I am quite comfortable maximizing my impact through coaching people. However, I was afraid to create a new beginning by using my healing gift in writing. After many pushes from friends, I got behind the ANTS and launched my blog, daily mindset affirmations, and added depth to my social media posts. I now consider my social media posts, blogs, and client sessions all as valuable vehicles for exercising the gift of healing across multiple contexts.
Last and most importantly, I strongly encourage you to use your gifts to benefit someone other than yourself. It is the best way to make a lasting impact at a time in which our society is hungry for it. Will you join me on this challenge and create a new beginning? Leave a note in the comments or send me a message on FB or Instagram.
