    Endings ARE Required for NEW Beginnings!

    Okay, this special episode as I have big announcement about A Dash of Zest! So, if you’ve been listening to me since June 10th, you know the mission of The Zestful Movement is to remind empty-nest moms and midlife women that their second journey is still deserving of zest and joy! Designing your journey requires the 3R’s:

    First, recognizing your impact to this point in time because what you have done, DOES MATTER!

    Second, reprioritizing yourself without guilt because it’s how you rediscover your energy, your interest, and your passion for living life. It’s also a place to set new boundaries on your relationships, so that you may protect your space and time.

    Lastly, redefine your purpose! You’ve heard me mention outdated labels and just like outdated dairy, you have to throw them away to leave room for something fresh and fulfilling. It’s the simple truth of evolving time!

    Now, let’s get to the tea! !t's your time to push play and enjoy this BONUS EPISODE this Wednesday! Then click the link to find out the 3 Steps you need to take to be part of the winning circle as we go into this new adventure together!!

    Midlife Is the Ideal Time to Expand On Your Either/Or Mindset

    Midlife Is the Ideal Time to Expand On Your Either/Or Mindset

    Question, is it really necessary to continue to do the things that no longer bring you joy out of obligation to others, or even expected traditions? 

    As the Autumn season is coming upon us it reminds me of how I’ve taken on an approach known as both/and. Multiple years ago I decided to take on Thanksgiving for my family, yet I wanted to fit my comfort level of my hosting style. I can remember my mom cooking for a few days, prepping the house for a week, and not having an ounce of joy before, during or after the process. 

    This is the notion of either I do it all myself, or it won’t come out right. Another question, who was really benefiting in this scenario? No one ultimately, if you pause to think about it and I’m certain this isn’t an unfamiliar approach. Get out my way and let me unhappily do it by myself! 

    Today, I'll be exploring why it's important that we pause and access our current believes on being either/or in a given situation. While exploring a new concept that I've implemented with my own holiday hosting. Yes, the outcomes and the energy were elevated for me and our guest! 

    Now it's your time to push play and enjoy part 4/4 this Wednesday! It's time to see if you can expand your current mindset that will expand your energy, time and outlooks on different situations in your life.

    As always, don't hesitate to share any of your thoughts with me by leaving a voice message on Anchor, or my direct email: ericka@thezestfulmovement.com

    4 Signs That It’s Time To Shift From Others to Self

    4 Signs That It’s Time To Shift From Others to Self

    When’s the last time you did an audit of your current belief system? Have you ever considered where your current beliefs derived from, and mostly importantly are they upholding the best outcomes for you today? It’s most likely something that’s overlooked when your day-to-day life is going just fine. For example, if you like where you live, enjoy most of what you do and you have the occasional moment of excitement now and again … it’s easy to feel all systems are ago!

    Today, I'll be exploring why it's important that we pause and access our current daily actions to see if they continue to hold value for the person we're striving to become in midlife, or if they're simply reflex habits of who we've been. 

    Now it's your time to push play and enjoy part 3/4 this Wednesday! It's time to see if you can expand your current scheduled time into something more meaningful and growth oriented for you designed second life!

    When's the last time you've challenged your thinking on your current beliefs that you may be holding about certain terms or actions? I'm inviting you this week to do just that around the word selfish and the topic of self-care. 

    Imagine right now how both of these words make you feel and notice if it's serving of your wellness and your desired outcomes. If you can get in the practice of assessing thoughts, beliefs and habits more often, you just might discover a few key areas to begin shifting in your life, so that your midlife can begin feeling more abundant and expansive too!

    Today, I'll be exploring how I've acquired my current thinking on what it means to be selfish, why I'm discovering it's important for my midlife journey to shift this perspective and you'll be surprised where my inspiration has derived for me to shift this thinking, I promise! It's most likely not what you think!

    Now it's your time to push play and enjoy part 2/4 this Wednesday! Learn a bit more about your current definition of selfish and get ready to ponder of few questions at the end of this episode that will get you moving towards scheduling more self-care moments for yourself on your personal calendar.
