Natasia Schumacher, PGCC on LinkedIn: #smartgoals #coaching #nevertoolatetoplay #goals (2024)

6 years ago, I made a choice to embrace a life of sobriety, shifting from external chaos to internal peace. Here’s what this journey has taught me:🌊 Embrace Your Emotions:Learn to ride the waves of ups and downs instead of avoiding them.✨ Find Joy in Simplicity:Discover deep satisfaction in doing less and appreciating the simple things in life. It’s often the small, everyday moments that bring me the most fulfillment.🔋 Focus on What Energizes You:Identify what no longer serves you and concentrate on what revitalizes and motivates you. 🤝 Cultivate Deep Connections:Build meaningful relationships, not just with yourself but with others. Having a strong supportive community around you has such a benefit to your well-being.🤸♀️ Play and Have Fun:Embrace playfulness and creativity without needing external sources to fuel it.💪 Harness the Power of Resilience:Make the choice to prioritize yourself each day. Resilience comes from consistently choosing yourself day after day.⏳ Cherish the Gift of Time:Appreciate the privilege of being present and fully awake for each moment. Time is a valuable gift and the only thing that can slow it down is taking care of your own wellbeing.Sobriety is my superpower!

In countless interviews over the years, one question always seemed to find its way to me : " What was your greatest project to work on?"My answers would highlight:- Launching an event- Cultivating thriving workplace cultures and rituals- Designing inspiring workspacesRecently, when asked that same question, my answer really surprised me."My greatest project? I am the greatest project I have ever worked on!"I found myself saying this with immense pride and immense joy. I have realized that investing in myself is the only project that will ever give me a greater return. The more time I invest, the more challenges I face, the more uncomfortable I get, the better the result!

If it's not working out, stop trying to force it. Whether it be a relationships, your job, or anything in your life. Let go of the control and see where things take you. You might just be surprised by what happens.What would happen if you stop holding on so tightly to the things that feel forced?What would you gain by letting go?Think about it.#shiftmindset #personaldevelopment #getintoaction

Don't be afraid to start over again. The reality is you are not starting from nothing, you are starting with a wealth of experience. Never underestimate experience, be it life or career.#experiencematters #mindset #newstart

When I feel fear and self-doubt, I know it is because I am about to step into the unknown. Something so unfamiliar, with no idea where I will land. It feels like a vast, open space, leading to the unknown. It feels dark and scary.This fear I feel is something I used to run away from, avoid, and drown out. Now, I see it as an opportunity—an opportunity to create, innovate, and explore. When I started making this powerful shift, confronting my fear, that is when I began to stretch the boundaries of what was and is possible for my life. What once seemed dark and scary transformed into something light and empowering. Now I see this space, these moments, as if a a blank canvas was in front of me, where I get to paint and create using my wildest imagination.If you find yourself in a transition and are faced with fear, anxiety, or self-doubt—whether in your career, relationships, or life—consider this an invitation to explore uncharted territory. Become curious rather than running away from it or keeping your head down.What can you learn? Who can you become? What picture can you paint?Lean in and watch your world expand!#worldofpossibility #selfdiscovery #personaldevelopment

Every day, I would tell myself in secret:I am not enough.I do not belong.I hoped things would change, but hope alone was not enough. The real change in my life started when I took action.I knew deep down that my future self deserved better than the doubts and limitations I imposed on myself, so I began to invest in her one day at a time.Whether it was to quit smoking, stop drinking and using drugs six years ago, get in the best shape of my life, or launch my own business, each daily choice to prioritize my well-being has been a gift to my future self.Every day, I check in and ensure that my choices, my actions, my daily habits are all gifts to the me of tomorrow.What are you doing today to gift the you of tomorrow?Reflect on your daily choices. Are they paving the way for the future you want? Take action now; your future self will thank you.

Imagine teaching your kids and our future generations:Your health does not matter.Your relationship with yourself is least important.Taking care of yourself is last on your to do list.Eat unhealthy food. Physical movement is not important-stay seated all day.The body you are in is worthless—treat it like sh*t.Your mind? Do the things you hate doing for the rest of your life.Your passions, your heart—they don't matter.Sounds outrageous, right? Yet, this is how many of us live our lives every day.Think about it.

If you talk to any professional athlete, winning isn't about playing it safe; it's about pushing through obstacles to achieve excellence.The same principle applies to the game of life. Success comes from stepping out of your comfort zone, facing fears, and growing stronger with every setback.Each day, dare yourself to do one small thing outside your comfort zone. It could be speaking up in a meeting, saying hello to a stranger, asking for what you need, or telling someone how you feel.How? Start where you are, with what you have, and push yourself a bit further each day.Set the goal to stretch beyond your comfort zone daily. By doing so, you redefine what comfort means to you, and soon, that stretch becomes your new normal.#PersonalGrowth#ComfortZone #ChallengeYourself #ProfessionalDevelopment
