(Gulp!) A little insight….

I used to believe that perfection was possible. Why not! If I work hard enough to focus my attention and intention, why can’t I be perfect? 🫥

This drive is a great superpower for me…It is also kryptonite. 🦠

This thinking is so rooted in my fear of not being enough, and it was so strong that I believed it was just who I was. It wasn’t until life popped me in the face ( a couple of times 😅) did I notice that this is an “𝙤𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚,” not an “𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲.”

It made my life not so fun and never let me feel my place in this universe because I was always obsessively trying to run away and get better or achieve something else, so I didn’t have to feel.

This has given me a great vision of the people who come to my studio for help. I can tell with almost 99% accuracy who will succeed and who will fail. I can see it in their eyes.

I can see how fear clouds their thoughts, actions, and perceptions. I can see it because I saw it in myself. Of course, their fear manifested differently than mine, but you can see it in their actions, how they speak, and the actions or non-action that they do.

Awareness of this fear is the only way out. Thank goodness I saw it.

It’s not that hard to see if you are willing to look because how you do anything is how you do everything.

👉🏽 Do you notice similar patterns that derail you?

👉🏽 Do you constantly find yourself in a similar situation?

👉🏽 Do your thoughts and feeling make you feel ridged?

This is not an exhaustive list, but a start if you still need to. As challenging as it is to see someone keep getting taken down by their fears, it is Fu*ken exhilarating to see them work through the experience and come out of it a human being more significant than they could have imagined.

Fears. We all got them, but they don’t have to get us.

I’d love to hear your thought on this.

What’s the Main Self-Limiting Lie You Tell Yourself?

Here’s an important question.

What’s the biggest lie you tell yourself that keeps you from having the life, body, or health you want?

Maybe it’s something like one of these.

“Losing mobility and strength and pain is part of getting old.”

“I’ve already tried everything, and this is just my new norm.”

“Nothing ever works out the way I want.”

🤮

These self-assessments are so common that there’s a term for them: 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙛𝙨.

We all have them. They’re all B.S. And you can overcome every one.

Our beliefs come from our thoughts. And while you can’t choose whatever thought crosses your mind, you can choose which you grab onto and worry about, which ones you build into big scary monsters – when they would’ve drifted away into nothingness if you’d let them.🐲

Instead, hold onto the positive beliefs you have about yourself. And if you don’t have any of those, then look at yourself objectively until you find something that makes you feel good about yourself.

You did well in school…

You volunteer at a non-profit…

You used to love to run every day after work…

Whatever it is, nurture that positive belief and repeat it to yourself whenever that nasty self-doubt starts talking in your head.

Take time to meditate so that you have some distance between your conditioned thoughts and who you truly are.🧘🏽‍♀️

It’s up to you what you focus on. So, choose what will set you free from negative self-lies and guide you toward positivity and growth. Say it out loud. Write it in your journal. Tell a friend, family member, or coach.

You can train your brain!

This might take repeated effort. But you know what? You’re worth it! And we are here to help you create new healthy habits and beliefs about yourself.

Let me know if you have or are going to try this.

Self-Care Shows Love for Others, Too

Is self-care selfish?

Not at all!

But sometimes, people tell me they hesitate to practice self-care because they should put others ahead of themselves. And I totally get that, but I also urge them to think a step further to see why practicing self-care is an act of love – for other people in your life, as well as for yourself.

Here’s my favorite illustration of the point. At the beginning of every flight, the attendants tell us that, should we need them, air bags will come down from above. They show us how to strap one on.

And they say that, if you’re traveling with a child or someone else who needs special attention, PUT YOUR OWN MASK ON FIRST before helping that other person.

Why?

Because if you’re not able to take care of yourself, you won’t be able to take care of anyone else.

It’s the same when you practice self-care in everyday life – by exercising, eating right, getting plenty of rest, managing your stress, and even treating yourself sometimes.

When you do all of that consistently, you feel better. You think better. You behave better. You simply ARE better – and that extends to everyone in your life.

Consider the opposite! How do you act toward others when you’re tired, cranky, and down on yourself?

Are you helpful? Compassionate? Supportive?

We’re at our best for everyone else when we’re first at our best for ourselves.

Do you agree?
