Birthdays, Boundaries and Bingo

from Sober Edge · host Teri Patterson

I  believe birthdays can be a great time for looking forward. My daughter shared a birthday ritual with me a few years ago and I want to share it with you. It involves setting a theme or intention for the year. I like to use a rhyme because it helps me choose a theme and it's also fun! For example, last year when I turned 62 my intention was " 62, try something new". And, I am happy to report that I tried lots of new things during the year; a new puppy, traveling to meet sober friends, hosting a coaches retreat, growing my business to new levels…it's been amazing! This year, at 63, I am still deciding: it could be 'set yourself free', or 'focus on me' but I am leaning towards "63, let it be". As someone who struggles with hyper-productivity and restless saboteurs, this is an important focus area for me. Perhaps it would serve me well to let the things I have created, all the 'new' settle and grow.  I think birthdays can also be a time of reflection. If you missed last week, it was all about regret and reflection. My daughter also shared a ritual to look back over the decades - what was my life like 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 and so on. This can be a fun trip down memory lane and also help us celebrate our achievements and our growth. Tune in for a short bit about boundaries and Bingo!
