Finding Contentment In The Season You Are In

I always look forward to the springtime. Not just because of the flowers that are in bloom or the weddings that are on the calendar but because of the rejuvenation and mental clarity that this season brings. 

We as humans and more specifically creatives are constantly in motion. 

Our brains are thinking of all that we can do next, how we can do this element of our business better, or what more we give in a certain area in our lives. Whether we are pouring ourselves into our businesses and careers or into our personal lives, it’s easy to forget to be in the present moment. And it’s even easier to forget to find contentment right where we are at. 

This week we are sharing just a little bit of inspiration and a friendly reminder of the importance of finding contentment in the season you are in.

FINDING CONTENTMENT

Contentment really is all about finding that state of fulfillment in your life. Experiencing happiness and satisfaction that is met with a sense of peace.

Now I understand you might not be where you want to be just yet but have you taken the time to see how far you’ve come? Have you allowed yourself the space to celebrate the season you are in? The big wins? The small victories? The boundaries you might have learned to set? The hard work you put into everything you do? The accomplishments you have succeeded in? The new healthy habits you have started? The failures and mistakes you have accepted and learned to grow from? The hard seasons you are currently walking through? The people around you who love and support you? 

I invite you right now as you are reading this to take a deep breath. In through the nose and out through the mouth. One more time, in through the nose, and out through the mouth. 

In this hustle-driven culture we exist in, it’s easy to get caught up in the headspace of constantly having to do more and be better. You may feel like your online content has to shine and sparkle, your profitability has to reach X amount, your team has to grow, your office space has to expand, and your life has to be all of this amazingness. And yes, who doesn’t want that? It’s important to set goals, aspirations and wants.

However, it’s equally if not more important to simply sit in the season that you are in and just be. Be grateful. Feel peace. Experience the stillness. Sit in the now. You are right where you need to be. Allow yourself to find those simplicities and the goodness in your life that make you happy and allow you to breathe a little lighter. I encourage you to take a moment right now and think of 3 things that bring you peace, gratefulness, and joy.

THE SEASON YOU ARE IN

You might be a seasoned professional who is currently in their groove and feeling good…

Your business systems are on track right where you want them to be and your team is thriving. All in all, your business is doing great. If that’s the case for you, honor that and celebrate yourself. Give yourself a pat on the back, don’t be afraid to reward yourself and smile. 

You might be a newbie in this industry and feel a lack of confidence in yourself and your abilities…

You may feel uncertain and feel you need more support and might be experiencing a lot of overwhelming feelings. If that’s the case for you, that’s totally okay. The fact you are diving into this industry says a lot about your passion, intrigue, and creativity. Be kind to yourself, understand everyone has to start somewhere, and instead celebrate the strengths and confidences you currently possess. 

For those of you who are going through it at the moment and are in a season that is tougher than any other, know our thoughts and prayers are with you…

Life is hard and terrible things do happen but take the time to lean into those around you who can hold you up and love on you. Find those people who fill your spirit, and make you feel supported, seen, heard, and accepted. Life is meant to be experienced with a community around us so find those people that will allow you to be right where you need to be with them. Give yourself time to heal, process, grieve, and feel every emotion if need be. And most importantly, don’t forget you are a wonderful human and you will make it through this tough season.

If I can offer any words of encouragement I hope you are able to take a couple of minutes to appreciate who you are. How often do you tell yourself that you love who you are and are proud of all that you are? I encourage you to find moments throughout your day to celebrate yourself and practice self gratitude. I challenge you that every time you look in a mirror you tell yourself 1 kind thing whether that may be you are beautiful, strong, capable, qualified, funny, hardworking, sweet, etc.,

Be kind to yourself and practice kindness always. Our world could sure use some more of it.
