The choice you can make for less guilt and more joy

The choice you can make for less guilt and more joy

by Lisa McCrohan | Apr 24, 2018 | Happiness, Delight, Joy, Awe, Mindful Motherhood, Mindfulness in Everyday Life, Nourishing Our Connections

My son came home from Scouts last night and he had a story to tell me. But I was busy on my computer finishing up a project I had promised a big group. I have a few deadlines looming over me this month. And I felt the pressure to keep going and working, even though it...
The one morning habit to reclaim yourself as CEO of your life

The one morning habit to reclaim yourself as CEO of your life

by Lisa McCrohan | Apr 11, 2018 | living with intention and purpose, Mindfulness in Everyday Life

Earlier this year, I noticed how I had slowly dropped my morning habit of quietly journaling, getting grounded, and setting my intention for the day.  Instead, I started to work. And I gave away my power first thing in the morning to the pressure of productivity. “Oh...

Soul-Nourishing Sunday Gem: the anecdote to “decision fatigue” for a focused, soulful life

by Lisa McCrohan | Mar 4, 2018 | Mindfulness in Everyday Life

When we moved to our new home last August, I had a vision for the front of our house. The former owners had done an incredible job of keeping things beautiful and manicured, but I had a different vision. While our yard was lovely, it wasn’t what I wanted and...

Noticing Beauty in the Ordinary

by Lisa McCrohan | Dec 1, 2017 | Mindfulness in Everyday Life, Soulful Poetry

Beauty in the Ordinary I had been out with my son going around the neighborhood selling popcorn for Scouting. We had to head back inside to get ready for soccer. It was a full day. But as I walked through our front yard, I stopped when I saw this sunset. My God, may I...

Regard

by Lisa McCrohan | Sep 6, 2017 | Cultivating Compassion, Mindfulness in Everyday Life, Parenting with Compassion

I still remember this moment of total appreciation for my husband, Brian.  It was 10:30 pm in the Atlanta airport. We were coming home from ten days in Costa Rica. Our travel had started early and involved hours of driving through potholes, tending to hungry and tired...
I’ll still choose to notice and linger

I’ll still choose to notice and linger

by Lisa McCrohan | Apr 17, 2017 | Mindful Motherhood, Mindfulness in Everyday Life, Parenting with Compassion

The other day, my son asked if I sit with him and work on some school work with him. I sat there, watching him. I had been taking pictures earlier of spring flowers and my camera was sitting next to me as we worked at the kitchen table. I watched my son working math...

I believe that delight is our true nature, compassion heals, and being in community with like-hearted people nourishes the soul. You step into and embody your true power when you turn inward and listen to your heart. More about Lisa →

Do you remember when you wanted what you currently Do you remember when you wanted what you currently have? . After living in cities for many years, I told my husband, “I want to see cows everyday day and I want overlook something expansive in nature.” My soul needed such expansiveness. And my nervous system needed the gentle regulation that comes from such expansiveness. . And now we have that (plus a neighborhood! I’m a people person and so I need neighbors, too!). On our way out of the neighborhood one way, we see cows. Every day. And from our kitchen, we see the mountains. Every day. . Sometimes it is a good idea to remember that there was a time when our souls longed for the loveliness we have in our life so that we are reminded of how the divine wants to satisfy our deepest longings. We are held. The universe isn’t against us. It’s for us. . Your Heart Will Be Satisfied I see your suffering. I will not let that ache within you remain forever tender and raw. I will not let your cry go unheard. I will satisfy your deepest longings. I will soothe your anxiety. I will not let you go cold and hungry. I will not leave you to go about life alone. I will find you wherever you are, wrap a warm blanket around you, make you tea, and feed you soup and bread. I will sit beside you until you gain your strength. You will not be alone. You will not walk through life wilted and hurting. I will bring you into my arms and hold you. I will call on the angels to guide you. I will lend you my strength and hope. The earth – with its flowing rivers and flowers, mountains and forests – will show you how see beauty again. Your body will know comfort and pleasure again. Your heart will be satisfied. Lisa McCrohan, MA, LCSW-C, SEP (C) . * This is one of the poems that is in my new book that I’m working on right now! It’ll go in the section called “Hope.” I can’t wait to share it with you this year! I’ll be self publishing again and definitely will need your help through a Kickstarter campaign that will offer some great stuff! Stay tuned! #poetrywithlisa #gratittude #poetrythatheals #theuniversehasyourback
I can’t remember what the exact words were that I can’t remember what the exact words were that this coaching client said to me yesterday, but she said something about how I have such a gift for really seeing a person and loving them where they are at. She said I was like an angel sent to her just at the right time and her life is changed for the better because of our work together. . I am sometimes shy when people say such things about me - when their eyes reflect their soul and I can feel the gratitude in their hearts. I have been doing this work for a long time now and still — 1. The courage that people have to look deeply into their stuff and honor their soul’s evolution gives me hope for our world and future. . 2. It is a privilege to walk alongside my coaching and psychotherapy clients. . 3. People come for my combination of my wholistic expertise, but they stay because of the authenticity that I try and show up with and how i keep on seeing the light in them and am devoted to uncovering all that dims that light so it can shine in this world needing such brilliant light. . 4. Love heals. . 5. We all could use a dose of self compassion. . 6. We are all angels for someone. . 7. Connection heals. We don’t heal all alone by ourselves and in isolation. We were hurt in relationships and so we need to heal in relationships. . 8. Allowing ourselves to be loved as we are - imperfect and human and divine and a mess - is probably the hardest work there is. . 9. I have come to really try and “take in” the gratitude a client shows me and feel a gratitude welling you in my own hearts for the divine and how she brings people together at the right time, for the right season of our lives. . . If it’s time for you to have someone alongside you in coaching (vis Zoom or in person) or therapy (in person only), grab a consult with me. If there are none left when you go to my website, just email me. Lisa@lisamccrohan.com and I’ll see what I can dork get you one before mid February. I’d love to walk beside you. . #therapywithlisa #coachingwithlisa #whatheals #weneedeachother #somaticexperiencing #innerhealing #letyourlightshine
Today is a fantastic day to turn 46! (Gray hair, v Today is a fantastic day to turn 46! (Gray hair, vibrant spirit, strong body, loving connections, adventures on the way, and a fierce devotion to doing what the Divine puts on my heart. Unstoppable!). . We can be fabulous at any age! Amen, sisters! Mid-lifers - we are just gettin’ started! Watch out, world! We are fierce, focused, and don’t give a $h!& anymore about the stuff that has held us back in the past. We are leading movements - right in the places we live, love, parent, work, and walk - for deeper self love and compassion to flourish in this world! . #thisis46 #midlife #fierceandfocused #midlifersmakeithappen#watchoutworld #midlifewomen
Devotion + Self compassion = a deep freedom (and p Devotion + Self compassion = a deep freedom (and peace). . In my world of Somatic Experiencing, this “freedom” is “nervous system regulation” — when we have the capacity within us to respond to stress effectively AND the capacity to rest and “take in the good.” . In my world of spirituality, this “freedom” is “alignment with the Divine” — where there is a deeper sense of flow, ease, and soft delight, trusting we are held and accompanied even when we can’t see much ahead of us. We trust. . .

I called one of my friends and was sharing about h I called one of my friends and was sharing about how I was frustrated with someone in my life. She listened. And then she suggested something, “Perhaps what is going on is that (this person) is tired...” . She went on to share what she has noticed. And holy smokes. She opened my eyes and softened my heart. Of course I went straight to, “I’m such a schmuck. I didn’t see it this way. All I could see was how this behavior was impacting ME.” I went on to talk about how I can shift my own actions and focus. It became so clear. I had a new plan of action that involved really seeing this other person. I felt a strength and inspiration emerging in me. But I was still mad at myself. And then she said, “Don’t best yourself up, Lis. You are right on that this matters (what my complaint was). Now you have this new perspective...” It was such a reminder to remember to soften. . Soften the judgment. Soften the harsh self talk. Soften the harsh expectations we have. Soften the perspective. “Soften” was my Word for the Year for two years awhile back! It still needs to be in my life and on my heart. How about you? How can you soften...and then feel a deeper peace, strength, and inspiration emerge? . . . (This line of poetry is from my poem, Wildly Herself which will be in my second book I am writing right now!!!) . #therapywithlisa #soften #selfcompassion #selflove #selfcare #selfkindness #selfregard #mindfulnessandcompassion #mindfulselfcompassion #radicalselflove #innergrowth #compassion #mindfulcommunication #humblepie #poetrywithlisa
The jewel is in the inside. . I don’t know about The jewel is in the inside. . I don’t know about you, but over the years of being online, I have gotten distracted and “taken away” from the jewels of inspiration coming from the INSIDE of my heart. It seems harder these days to not compare myself with others and not to get distracted from the call within me and what I AM to create and offer out into this world. . So I’ve been recalibrating, coming back home to my own heart of hearts, and spending more time listening to my own inner wisdom and guidance. . It’s so necessary these days. Don’t you think? . . (Line of poetry is from my poem, Wildly Herself. Can’t wait to share it with you in my new book. I’m working on it this morning!) . #poeteywithlisa #selflove #selfkindndess #selfcompassion #compassion #innerwisdom
