Doing what makes you FEEL good.
Why do we put off doing the things we know will make us feel good? 🤔
Is there something you've been avoiding which you know will make all the difference?
I had been avoiding getting in the sea for so long.....
I had every excuse going....
Even though I knew once I was in I would be flying on a natural high!
When I trace back and reflect on all the times I wiggle out of an act of self love towards myself, no matter how big or how small- my inner saboteur is right there in centre stage announcing all my unworthiness, guilt shame, and deprivation. Sneakily It even tries to use a lack of time and energy against me 🙄
Perhaps you can relate? And maybe even aware of your own inner saboteur?
When I take a moment to really listen and understand, my inner saboteur is afraid, and just makes all of this noise because its far easier to say all of this crap that admit your afraid and be vulnerable.
Sometimes is a fear of being hurt, sometimes of disappointment, sometimes being deemed a failure...
Basically all the really crappy stuff we all usually like to ignore, but secretly listen too 🤫
Coz heaven forbid it actually offered some words of encouragement and positivity 🤯🤯
Default setting anyone?
Slowly but surely, as I make small promises to myself everyday the balance is switching
Its far easier to listen and be detached from the emotion and voice to allow my true self to step forward.
This Sunday I made it into the sea- and man it was glorious!
The ability to bring awareness to all parts of our being is the journey of the self healer and the work that both myself and Oliver love.
Self love and self care are a massive part of that transformation, but is also one of the hardest parts to be present in.
Even if you don't want to/ can't take action today, just know that to have the awareness, the desire for something more, something different is a great place to start from and find yourself in.
Its those little seeds that grow into something much bigger.
One small win always leads to another 🥰
lots of love
