Would you agree that 2019 flew by? Just like that, we’re at the end of the year! When reflecting from January 2019 till now, I can easily say that this has been quite an exciting year for me. It was a year of ups and downs, filled with personal and professional growth… but with growth comes discomfort.
I have removed myself from my comfort zone many times and needless to say, that has made me uncomfortable. However, this is part of the growing process so I view it with a positive lens. I have to keep everything in perspective so that I will appreciate and be grateful for the things happening in my life.
The practice of being thankful on a consistent basis is difficult, but uplifting. Over the weekend, I did my very first speaking gig! As much as this is an accomplishment, prior to that, I was facing a lot of internal drama, self-doubt, and lack of appreciation for how far I have come. Now that the dust has settled, I realize how blessed I am. Going forward, I will lead with gratitude instead of fear and self-doubt.
Sometimes, it takes reflecting and writing down my blessings to truly recognize how much there is to be grateful for…. So here goes.
I am grateful for:
- A thriving coaching practice (according to paypal, it has improved by 600% compared to last year!)
- Eight podcast appearances
- Having a partnership with a skincare and wellness company (which has been surprisingly lucrative and has exposed me to a tribe of amazing women I get to spend time with)
- Being on a mastermind with amazing, like-minded coaches

Before making this list, my squirrel brain was telling me that many things were not working in my favor, but this list proves otherwise. I had no idea I would have such a long list! And certainly, it would be longer if I spent more time thinking about what unfolded in my life this year.
Now, I encourage you to try this exercise. Think about how your year has been going, and be sure to do it with a positive outlook. With this mindset, put your pen to paper and just let it flow. You will be amazed by how many things you jot down!
