Have you ever made a promise to change your life? Sometimes that promise takes us on a journey where we’ll come out better on the other side. This episode talks about rites of passage.
I’m super excited because next week I get to gather with my family to celebrate my nephew Finnigan’s Confirmation. It’s a religious and social milestone; similar to events like a bat/bar mitzvahs or quinceaneras. The occasion is a chance to fully commit to being in a community and belonging to something bigger.
I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP162’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. One of the cool aspects of a public commitment is doing it in a setting where you feel supported. Anytime we’re going through a rite of passage or say “Yes” to a commitment, there may be challenges. Connecting with others during this time can really give us the strength to show up for ourselves.
On our Wise Walk, I talk about the meaningful life milestones, like rites of passage. Everyone gets to witness and honor the ability to say “Yes” to your rite of passage. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:
-
- What stage of life are you currently in?
- Where do you have an opportunity to express a commitment publicly?
- What choices are you currently making in life that deserve that public commitment?
- Can you take time to celebrate your public commitments?
As you go through different rites of passage, you’ll unlock experiences that open new versions of what it means to show up for yourself.
Own the phase of life or transition you are in. Shine light on your rite of passage with these Wise Walk questions:
-
- What is one thing that you’re working on and really proud of?
- Who do you want to be surrounded by as you explore your rite of passage?
- As you go on your rite of passage, is there an example you can pull inspiration from for guidance?
- How will you act on the inspiration you gain from the example?
