Water the Grass, Then Pivot

Watering the grass doesn’t mean you never change—it means you decide from clarity, not scarcity.

Looking on the bright side and appreciating what you have does not mean you never make changes.

It does not mean you shouldn’t choose something different.

Sometimes a new job, a new relationship, a move, and a season of growth—is what you want. Creating something new can be amazing.

“Watering the grass” often leads to a new choice

When you’ve accepted the situation as it is and when you can see beauty in the mess, you sometimes realize you want something different for your life.

Sometimes something different serves you better. Sometimes it serves the world better. Sometimes making a change is what love and compassion would do.

We are all on different paths to different dreams at different times.

A new path isn’t necessarily an easier path

Or a happier path.

It’s simply a different path.

A different mess to find beauty in.

Making a change is not necessarily a failure of mindset. It’s a choice.

Not making a change is also a choice.

Coaching and mindfulness don’t tell you to just be happy and see rainbows everywhere.

They help you choose your choice—with conscious intention. And choose your experience of the choice you make.

When you know how to water the grass, you can water it wherever you go.

When you know how to see good here, you’ll see good there.

When you know how to look for connections, you can create them wherever you go.

The pause creates space for choice

In the pause there is calm, space to breathe, to listen, to tell the truth.

And there is choice. With choice comes possibility.

If you’re in a pivot season you can choose to do the work to make conscious choices that serve you

If you choose to show up for those choices with presence and intention it’s even better.
