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.

Friday morning feels🫶 🌽 🍁

Feel good to be home in Indy for a few days♥️

Fire up for @warrenzeiders tonight!! 👢🤠🪩✨💎

The secret of a happy life is found in your snow globe

One of the best pieces of advice thru my #selfhealingjourney was about how to manage it all. “One day at a time.”

How?🤔 

👉Acquire something that will fortify you against poverty (scarcity), against death (healthy living), loneliness (connection/love), stagnancy (personal improvement/purpose/service), etc.

Just make sure to do 1☝️thing each day that positively moves your life forward. That’s it.

When I was younger, I didn’t quite understand when I heard people use the phrase, “It’s like polishing up a turd💩.“ 😂(I still laugh, but there’s extremely deep meaning to the comical reference.)

💎👉If you do not enhance & heal yourself, you cannot enhance & heal your experience.

Finding joy, peace, self-awareness, & self acceptance ARE your answers. It’s not a diet, a partner, a new relationship, money, or of singular worldly/material things.

💎The magic exists inside you. You’re like a snow globe. You can flip yourself upside down & shake shit up whenever you want to experience the magic. 

💎You can either become wise, or you can become wounded. 

The wounded:

Gossip. Bully. Kill. React. Scarcity mindset. Negative inner/outer chatter. Pessimistic. Are oftentimes unhealthy/sick/overweight/broke/sad/lonely/depressed. Feel like heavy black clouds when you’re around them.

The wise:

Praise. Support. Accept. Respond. Growth/abundance mindset. Optimistic. Positive inner/outer chatter. Are oftentimes healthy/vibrant/more youthful/wealthy/happy/confident. Feel light/warm like a cup of hot cocoa & sunshine on a chilly day when you’re around them. 

Don’t get trapped in the logic of life, get trapped in the loving & living of life.

I think about the contrast of how I live my life now vs how I used to live my life…

…people think I’m crazy to do travel Xray b due to the constant change, nomadism, challenges, & the unknown. ( “travel nurse” life for those new here)

And ya know, I thought I’d feel ungrounded & constantly homesick but I’ve never felt more authentically rooted & confident in myself, EVER. 

Yes, it is a stressful af lifestyle. It changes constantly, I’m challenged constantly, but I’m experiencing WEALTHS of extraordinary emotions/skills/& real life sh*t that have filled my tool belt of life! I’m constant collecting wisdom & memories.

I’m (FINALLY imo) building a mudder truckin’ life right now. ✨ 

I didn’t do this in the past. I lived on auto pilot. I didn’t challenge myself daily. I stayed stuck in self sabotaging habits. I accepted my past story as my forever story, & in turn, I was lonely, miserable, overweight, sick, unfulfilled & aimlessly wandering void of the nourishing feels/experiences/fulfillment I desired. 

Hopefully this helps you gain insight & INVOKE awesome-sauce & badassery inside of your snow globe.

Shake shit up.

Do it whenever you want.

I believe you!

You don’t need to know or find your purpose to start living life. This is where we get things wrong. You need to simply start living + challenging yourself (& others/society).

I promise you will find the things that make sense, light you up & pave the golden path in front of you. 

You don’t find the yellow brick road by doubting yourself, Dorothy. Shake your globe, find your Ruby Red slippers👠✨😉 

XOXO

👉 always your biggest fan

Thrifting, lifting, Country Style Ribs + how to build your strength workout program

Who do you think you are?” she asked me (my supervisor).

In a performance review when I was 27 I was told that I had a “strong silence” & was “different” which others took as me being arrogant & cold & that I “needed to be more understanding of other people‘s weaknesses.”

💁🏼‍♀️In Beth Dutton fashion, let me interpret this: “Your resting bitch face, your sparkle, & the fact you can do other people’s jobs better make them uncomfortable.” 🤷‍♀️😆

It was eye-opening & ego shattering at the same time. I had no idea that was how I was being perceived. It did encourage me to sit down & observe past behaviors & presentation & how I was “different.”

At that time I was going thru a divorce, in radiology school full-time & working part time on top of it. As I put it, stressed to the titties.🫣

I was like come on sister, my life feels like getting stuck halfway putting on a sports bra when you’re sweaty & ya need Jesus to come down & cut you out of it 😂 

When you’re “different” & a “high performer” in life, you might notice that some other people, well — aren’t.

If you want a great life, tattoo these words on your brain: LIFE IS NOT HARD ON YOU; YOU MAKE LIFE HARD FOR YOURSELF.

Life can be hard & people won’t understand you sometimes, yes, but the majority of the “hard” sh*t in life people think is really “hard” in my opinion is really the EASY SH*T. 

Just be you & stop over complicating things. People don’t need to understand you you just have to love yourself.

Took myself thrift shopping & a rainy date to the gym yesterday. Had a beautiful day of treasure hunting!

The thing I’ve learned over the years is that many live life haphazardly complacent in a mediocre, lost state…

I hope this can meet you with inspiration today ❤️

HOW TO SHOP AT THRIFT STORES: 7 TIPS FOR FINDING THE HIDDEN GEMS

1. Go in with the right mindset—it’s about finding a treasure.

2. Look through everything, ALL sections. Try them on, they look different on 🙂 If it looks even remotely interesting, throw it in the cart. Have fun!

4. Go often & when the store opens to get the best buys.

5. Feel good supporting the community! My FAVorite part is giving back! My thrift store order of ops: Mom & pop stores → Church stores —> Salvation Army —> Goodwill.

6.Wear outfits that are easy to layer over so you don’t need a fitting room.

7. Buy it if you LOVE it!
