Embrace Yourself: Living Authentically and Courageously
Jul 16, 2024
Hello, amazing women of the world!
Today, I want to share a journey that has profoundly changed my life and I could do the same for you.
Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with myself and have an honest conversation. I reflected on who I truly am, what makes me happy, and what used to bring me joy before the chaos of COVID-19. I asked myself where my stress and anxiety were coming from and how they were feeding into depression. During this introspection, I revisited stories, lessons, poems, prayers, memories, and photographs w meaning.
A clear theme emerged from these reflections—a reliable approach to living thats then and continues to do so now: understanding how and when to deal with life’s challenges, accepting the inevitable, and enjoying a state of success. And most importantly, surround myself with those who genuinely want me to win.
What sparked this deep dive into self-reflection? I realized I wasn’t showing up for myself. I wasn’t being present for those who relied on me or for those I didn’t even know who were watching and cheering me on. It became clear that I needed to start showing up FOR ME!
My #1 Tip: Routine, Discipline, Consistency
Routine: Every morning, I follow a mental checklist of non-negotiables before diving into my work. I start with a shower, make my coffee, walk my pup, listen to a meditation or podcast, and recite my morning Bible affirmations. This sets a positive tone for my day, and then I tackle the hardest task first.
Discipline: Moving my body every single day is crucial. My Oura Ring is my go-to tool for tracking my progress. I adhere to a strict calendar, practicing time management to ensure I hit my goals. Time blocking keeps me honest and focused.
Consistency: Each morning, I read my Bible affirmations, and throughout the day, the I AM app reminds me of my worthiness. At night, I reflect on the day—what I accomplished, where I lagged, my feelings, and my workout. This reflection helps me understand the importance of continuing to fill my cup first.
I challenge you to start today.
Reflect on what truly makes you happy and what you need to let go of. Establish your routine, maintain discipline, and be consistent. Your story is yours to write, and it’s time to make it a masterpiece. You are worthy, you are capable, and you are destined for greatness. Let’s live our lives for ourselves and inspire others to do the same.
Together, we can create a world where women prioritize their happiness, growth, and success.
Keep shining and stay amazing!
