What’s the “A” in Life?

beyoutifulchick / June 26, 2018

Growing up, I was an A student. If I didn’t earn an A it killed me. I don’t know exactly where it came from, but I had it in my mind that I needed to get excellent grades in order to go to any college of my choice in order to live the best life. I studied hard, stressed over…

I'm just going to leave this here for anyone else

I'm just going to leave this here for anyone else that needs it.

This is the message I got out of my therapy session yesterday.

Seems like a pretty simple and clear message, but it's a really tough pill to swallow.

Resting means I won't get stuff done. But I don't have the energy to get stuff done. And it's hard to allow myself to fully rest.

Resting also means that something may have to be taken off my plate, and I'm not ready to take anything else off of my plate.

What a hard cycle to be in, but I know something has to change and I need to listen to my body and rest.

Anyone else struggle with resting?

Right now, a lot is going on in my life that feels challenging and overwhelming.

Working on yourself is a hard process, especially when it involves changing how you are showing up.

You become aware of what you want and who you truly want to be, but then does that match what other people see? What they are used to seeing?

This week I finally released my podcast episode with @iamcarolineelisabeth and we discuss aligning your inner and outer self.

I always feel like my podcast episodes are at the perfect time because this tension of my inner self and outer self is something that I currently need to sit with, process and work on.

If you can relate to this, be sure to check out this episode of It's Time to Be YOU #linkinbio

Caroline had so many gems to share on this topic and her own journey to living in alignment.

Does your inner self match your outer self? Let me know your thoughts ⬇️

We are in this together 💖

Why is it so hard to do the things that you know y

Why is it so hard to do the things that you know you should do because they are good for you and you will enjoy it??? 🤷🏾‍♀️

I really struggle sometimes with "do I do the thing I planned to do or should I cancel because my silly brain says that I need rest, or that something else needs to be done instead?"

It's a fine line (because rest can really be the thing you need) and I have to really be honest about whether or not I'm actually just avoiding something. 😬

Example - I just had a coaching class that I debated about bailing on because "I'm exhausted/ I am inspired to do other work"
↪️ but really, I was nervous for class, felt like I didn't prepare enough and wanted to put it off.

Well guess what?

➡️Class was great
➡️ it's what I needed
➡️ it helped me prove to myself that I can do hard things
➡️ it feels good to show up and keep my promise to myself

So if you ever struggle with canceling plans, avoiding what you said you would do, etc, ask yourself:
🤔 What's really going on?
🤔 How will I truly feel if I don't do the thing?
🤔 How will showing up/doing the thing help my future self?

This is really a reminder for myself, and I hope it helps you too!

Just do the damn thing and show up for yourself 💖

Today was a good day. 😊

Between the @charlottesvillechamber BWRT luncheon and the @tomtomfoundation @cicville Crowdfunded Pitch Night, I was able to see and connect with so many great people.

Going to bed happily exhausted with a grateful heart 💖

Life has been tough lately and there have been mom

Life has been tough lately and there have been moments where I've wanted to scream and cry. 😫

It's easy to get caught up in the busyness of life and then realize the life you've been participating in isn't the one you want.

We have a choice in our life and the ability to make a change. We just have to be aware of what's truly going on and have the courage to make a change.

I've been becoming more aware of the things that I need to get back into doing to bring more joy and happiness into my life. As well as things that I need to stop doing.

So if you're like me and have been struggling with your life, it's time to make a change. Start reflecting on what about your life drains your energy and what brings you energy.

You have the power to change your life and I know you can do it 💖

#currentmood 🥴

I have a million things that I want to do right now, but lack the time, energy and focus to do any of them.

So I get stuck, paralyzed and frustrated that I don't do anything.

Anyone else get this way? Drop your tips of what helps ⬇️
