41 Ways to Live an Abundant Life: My 41st Birthday Manifesto
A wise woman once said, “Birthdays are your personal new year.” A natural time when you can take inventory of your life and decide how you want to move forward. So I wanted to share some wisdom on my 41st birthday.
I have a complex relationship with birthdays. Some years, I’m filled with joy and gratitude. Doing something to intentionally celebrate. While others, I’ve literally had a pity party filled with tears, judgment, and being a victim for “not being where I should be by now in life.” It was straight-up depressing.
So, as I turn 41 ?, I decided to focus on my abundance. Sure, it’s my party and I can cry if I want to. But this cowgirl is only crying tears of joy!
I’m feeling particularly abundant and grateful at my 41st birthday for:
- ? Taking the big leap and officially making our dreams a reality, moving into the Bittertoot Mountains on my great uncle’s legacy ranch and saying bye to city life in Baltimore.
- ? My sister-in-law traveling out west from Baltimore to celebrate together.
- ?Feeling a sense of faith and abundance financially, spiritually, physically and mentally.
- ?Being a badass at setting boundaries and no longer allowing my energy to be drained by making myself smaller to make others comfortable.
- ?Dedicating my life’s work to enabling people to take their power back and live their best lives. Truly a blessing.
- ?A partner who is a true partner and doing the damn thing with me lock-step.
- ?The humans I get to call chosen family out west who have invited me into their lives and supported my dreams unconditionally.
In that vibe, here are 41 pieces of wisdom on my 41st birthday on how to live an abundant life that can serve you, too:
1. Prioritize your well-being by embodying your values.
