Last year's challenge was all about self-care and it was mostly me providing you with ideas (and yes, I know for many of you it was too much last year, thank you for your feedback!). This year I am challenging YOU to be the one actively participating for 30 days. I am inviting you to discover yourself, to start digging deep and find your most authentic voice - and set it on video. It's again about self-care but on another level. I challenge you to express what your soul wants you to say and do. Why video? Because seeing yourself everyday for 30 days will peel layer after layer of conditioning. Because putting yourself "out there" in the ether can be completely scary and bring up all the stuff we were taught to believe - stuff that is not true - for you to be able to see it and let go of it.. Because working in a group will push your buttons, will give you strength, will show you hidden things about yourself and will sustain you in being who you really, authentically are. I know you're busy and already overloaded, so I won't threaten you with limited time offers or last chances. I will, however, offer you the dignity of this self-determined opportunity to prioritize your well-being. Not because you "have to"... Not because time will run out if you don't...But because you recognize you're worth the time and attention and energy you give yourself. YOU, {%name%}, are your most valuable asset! It's been a while for me (a couple of months) since I made my last video.. All this time I went through a lot of soul searching.. Who am I? Who do I want to be? What do I want to do in this world? What are my dreams and which dreams can I make come true, right here and now? Also my "off-line" business life swelled up in a lot of exciting projects. So today, putting up this invitation feels again scary and vulnerable. All those voices in my head (you know, the "I'm not good enough" voices) started screaming at me again. So I know how it is. In the same time, I know that while it is scary to show myself - better said: BECAUSE it's scary - it's the best thing to do. Come and join me. Do you have friends who could use some SHINE video polish? The more, the merrier!.. And bonus: you'll have someone to gossip about me with:-) (make) Let them sign up here:-) Or forward them this love letter. I feel that taking the time to come back to ourselves and giving ourselves permission to shine is immensely important, not only to us as small particles of this Universe but also to our family and friends and world (guess who will be a shining example, wink wink) - even to your boss, if you have one :-).. He or she may thank me later!:-) ps: this year's April's Shine will be via Facebook. I have set up a closed group where everyone who wants to participate will be able to post their videos. Within the group the videos can only be seen by the group members - if you do not wish to publish them anywhere else, it's not necessary. In other words, your introspective journey will stay within our loving group and nobody else has to see it if you do not want it to be seen. Whether you are a beginner or you've already worked with video, you are totally welcome to join. Trust me, it will be fascinating, exhilarating to see everybody looking deep within and telling their story. click to join: Shining Mama or directly on facebook, click here (if you do not wish to get the everyday emais)
