I was sitting in my backyard this morning feeling tired, grumpy and frumpy from a week of hedonistic feasting and indulgence.
And reflecting on the fact that I’ve always been an all or nothing kind of gal. Maybe you can relate?
Super committed to the new thing and then totally dropping it after a few weeks (oh hi, rock climbing shoes, triathlon suit and qi gong book hiding in my closet)
It's New Year's Resolution season and if you’re starting to feel the pressure I want you to know there’s another way to do this thing.
A way that involves harnessing the energy of the season without signing ourselves up for something we know we can’t commit to only to let ourselves down and feel like a failure again.
I want you to know that it’s not your fault
All the money, time and energy you've poured into something you thought would work
Only to be let down
It’s not your fault.
It's not your fault
It's not your fault
Okay?
It’s the diet’s fault. It’s our fucked up expectations of women’s fault.
And it’s okay to do this differently this time and forgive your past self.
So back away from the cleanse sign-up page and ask yourself this instead π
These questions point to where the true, soul-deep transformation that will change more of your life than you ever thought possible happens β¨
It's not in the diet, the cleanse or the workout routine.
It's in your decision to be a woman who gets to feel alive, energized, fulfilled everyday.
Every woman deserves to learn how to step into her Queen and throw off the people-pleasing, good girl programming, over-giving, over-working and all the pernicious patriarchal patterns.
Because the buck stops here. We're not passing this shit on – the paralyzing self-doubt, energy sucking body shame and not good enoughness.
We are doing things differently now. We are owning our bodies, our power, and our brilliance.
Even (and especially) when we feel tired, grumpy and frumpy ;)
Because that's what's required of us to stop this cycle and live the life of our dreams right here and right now
It's time π¦
You owe this to yourself
You owe this to your kids
You owe this to your community
You owe this to the world
You deserve this
It's time π¦
