Join us on THIS THURSDAY September 22th from 6-8 pm with Brooklyn + Rye for this heartfelt + inspirational workshop!
What do you really want?
It's time to stop chasing ideals. You already possess what you are searching for in your heart. So let's dig deeper than ever before and excavate it.
Reorient your heart to the truth as we recalibrate ourselves.
Together, weâll take a step back and look at the roles we play as humans to survive in a world filled with noise, beliefs, and expectations. In this workshop, attendees gain confidence, clarity, and tangible outcomes with a road map to follow.
Choice in Community
Curated Conversation: September; Choice.
Now, letâs sweep the brainâŠ
We are continuing our conversation about CHOICE this week, adding more Jamie Chapman.
We have choices
At the beginning of September, I shared two things:
Originally, September's topic was going to be Community, but CHOICE came in loud and clear as the right topic for this month. I was right to listen.
There is an extra week this month that throws off my beautiful 4-week template, so you will get an extra week of Jamie Chapman. You're welcome.
I will show you my ability to put puzzle pieces together, and I will weave CHOICE and COMMUNITY around my email today. So grab your whiskey or your coffee and settle in, my friends.
When you sit back and think about the power of choice, your mind could explode like that funny emoji on apple devices. I'm thankful that my brain can accept habits and support me in making thousands of decisions daily in the background of my brain. Could you imagine having to process every.single.thought about every.single.thing? Mind-blowing, for sure.
This gift allows me the energy to work on the things that are more important and things that matter to me most.
Like community. Especially the entrepreneurial community.
When I chose to leave my full-time corporate-like job, I didn't know what a beautiful tribe I would be welcome inside wholeheartedly. Chickbook Creative will celebrate two years in October; for me, there is no looking back.
Iâm right where I belong, doing what I am here to do for women that thrive with my support.
Last week, I experienced one of the most beautiful outpourings of support for a woman in our tribe. Together, we experienced sadness, anger, frustration, lack of communication from leadership, and heartbreak. We all shared the moment of having to make choices as we felt, processed, and vocalized these feelings we each other.
While the choice is personal, it can feel compelling, surrounded by womenâs energy.
When challenges present in a moment of extreme emotions, our brains revert to keeping us safe. We enter fight or flight mode and can become defensive. As a result, we lose the ability to access the prefrontal cortex of our brains, where we can make sound decisions and where our wisdom lives.
We have choices.
We can stay
We can remove ourselves
We can speak up
We can remain silent
We can act
We can pause
In moments like these, I have extreme gratitude for my work on mental fitness and the number of tools available to me to ground myself at that moment. I can access the awareness that I'm safe, and I don't have to make a choice when my brain is in fight or flight, and I can take as long as I need to process the thoughts, information, and words coming at me at lightning speed.
I also have extreme gratitude that I didnât have to do any of it alone. And, I was more successful because I didnât.
Our choices and actions are our own. They:
Are POWERFUL
Speak VOLUMES
Create CHANGE
With choices come consequences, outcomes, and successes to be celebrated. And herein lies the uncomfortable part. We don't have control over consequences, outcomes, or successes: none, zilch, nada. But, we can gain control again with what we choose to do with them.
Remember, choices are powerful, speak volumes, and can create change. Inside and out.
We all have the gift of choice in the community we surround ourselves with, and Iâm incredibly grateful you are a part of mine.
