Reflections and life feels lately

When Cardi B said, “I gave you more than I gave myself. So loyal to you that I betrayed myself.” I felt that…⁣

Deep shiz reflections & life feels lately

I’m in such a wonderful place in life. I give gratitude every day for this privilege. This growth. I prayed for it. 

How many times have you betrayed yourself because you were giving more to other people or your personal issues & limiting beliefs?

I understand how changing myself to please others or validation attracted all the wrong things that I needed to figure out all the right things. I know if I can’t be my raw, authentic, no filter, little weirdo self around someone it’s not meant for me.

Maybe it’s disordered eating

Maybe it’s that toxic relationship

Maybe it’s that job you hate

Maybe it’s drinking too much

Maybe it’s negative self talk

Maybe it’s stagnation & fear

Maybe it’s a scarcity mindset

Maybe it’s as simple as too much coffee🙋🏼‍♀️⁣ (I’m trying 😆)

I’ve been in an abusive, obsessive relationship with all of these at one time or another in my 41 years.

What helped me? Journaling & getting real. Falling on my face. Failing. Spending time alone. Finally getting a place of my own that I LOVE. Stepping into my worth. Focusing on being the person that I would like to be with. ⁣

Knowing I don’t have to be in a relationship to be happy or more worthy. But knowing I’d really like to find a special someone to live life with that looks at me the same way I look at them.

Look for beautiful people & places that quiet your soul. Not just beautiful people & places.

I love my family & small circle.

We may not like or see each other every day but I’m grateful to know that I have a forever home to go to whenever I want & that’s wherever my people are. It’s wherever I am.

When we show up fully & completely as ourselves, content with where we’re at, being fully present & conscious in the moment, listening attentively, showing love & respect, practicing gratitude — we attract more love, positivity, & abundance into our lives & expand those feelings to others. 

It took me a long time to learn that what society deems as “beautiful” people & places are common.

Hell, nowadays all you need is a good filter & just the right angle. You can’t build anything with beauty alone.

I prefer the REAL good stuff. The stuff that stings a lil bit. The ones with scars that tell a story. The places with history & character.

I had a client tell me she just wanted to be told she was beautiful. I teared up, I understood exactly how she felt.

I explained to her the difference between a beautiful person & person who was simply beautiful. 

Yeah, it’s nice to be told you’re beautiful or hot or whatever, but I’d much rather hear someone say that I made things easier.

That they’re happy because I exist.

That I’m strong, & smart, & able.

That their life is better with me in it.

That they’re proud of me.

That they value what I bring to the table.

Be a person who is complimented on more than just appearance.

Love is in the depth & details❤️

Happy Friyay friends!

What are your life reflections today? 

Being scared but doing it anyways

Epiphany🤷‍♀️Feel I’ve reached the point in my life I comfortably/confidently embrace I really have no idea what I’m doing but f*ck it I’m doing it anyways😆😂🙃

Anyone else,feels, too?

Numerous occasions I’ve had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, so, well…🤔 I just started doin stuff scared sh*tless.

Yup👉made a LOT of mistakes. But the beauty is you gain the data & experiences to make better decisions as an improved/wiser version of yourself.

I believe if I just keep going intentionally purposeful/hopeful as a kind/positive soul, everything will work out.

I think about the quote, “You can do anything, but you can’t do everything.” I acknowledge when I’m trying to do EVERYTHING➡️which leads to burn out & then not wanting to do ANYTHING.

I’m not comfortable being “in the middle.” I’m either chill af or intense af. I thrive in extremes. I know they’re dopamine hits.

I need the periods of doing less to do more. I need the contrast. I no longer have shame in this realization about myself.

I’m constantly trimming & purging my life. To be honest I feel 2023 has been a year of unlearning, exploration, releasing, simplifying, & freedom.

I like having change AND routine. I need both to keep life grounded/interesting + vibrant!

I constantly savor deep connection + mental & physical stimulation👉professionally, personally, physically, mentally, & relationally.

I’m proud to be at the point in life where I’m chill & content the majority of the time no matter what season.

Today I realized I don’t run away from anything or anyone anymore. I’m already gone from what I wanted to escape. I am home in myself.

I’m home & running towards what comes next.

A CHAMPION to me is someone that loves the work of becoming one more than the idea of becoming one.
