#rise

It’s a life truth that each and every one of us faces challenges from time to time; sometimes our problems are out in the open, on display for the world at large to witness; sometimes they are quiet, heavy shadows lurking just underneath the smiley face we put on for others.

No one is immune to feelings of sadness or periods of struggle; to run the gamut of emotion and experience is the mere nature of being alive on this planet.

​Fortunately, as human beings, we are ALSO equipped with the ability to use Resilience, Integrity, Strength, and Endurance to face our challenges head on; in other words, we have the ability to #rise. ​

In just a few short weeks, the world will once again shift seasons. The Northern hemisphere will land in winter proper, when we tend to turn inward and quiet down, while the Southern hemisphere takes its turn basking in the summer sunshine. 

No matter which end of the spectrum your location puts you on, these weeks leading to transitions like these are ideal times to reflect, release, and then deliberately choose to #rise.

• What do you want to bring into the next season with you?
• What are you dedicated to undoing?
• What are you willing to outgrow?
• What are you willing to give up in order to do so?
• What can you #rise above?
• What can you #rise to meet?

This week, I invite you to look for ways to ground down and #rise up.

You have it all within you, my friend.

You have the ability to make this season one of the finest your life has seen to date. With a willingness to #rise, you can (and you will!) turn tears into triumphs, adversity into accolades, setbacks into celebrations.

Let your resiliency come in handy as you puzzle out the best way to forge ahead toward your goal.

Lean on your integrity to align your intentions, your words, and your actions.

Recognize how your strength comes from both your physical training and your mental fortitude.

Use your endurance to show the world exactly what you’re made of.

It’s time to stop playing small and letting others call the shots for you; right now, this very minute, it is time to #rise up in your power and shine like the fierce force of nature you are, always have been, and always will be - no matter what.

Tell me, how will you #rise?

I'm interested in knowing if you're interested in sharing! xo

Sending you so much light always and in all ways,

Coach Alex
