Good morning, my beautiful community,
It’s been a while since I’ve written to you all here. I have been practicing a LOT of self-love by taking more time for myself as I continue to move through new phases of grief and adapting to my new life with Bailey (my older dog) as we hold the love in our hearts for my younger dog Johnny who passed at Christmas. It takes time to find our footing again after a life-altering event, and it’s really important to not rush the process. So if you’re going through a hard time right now, remember to soften and give yourself the time needed to let life realign for you.
Today, I want to inspire you to really practice self-love. When life gets hard or confusing, the best thing you can do is slow down to hear your intuition so that it can guide you to what you need most in the moment.
Saying Yes to Your YES is an act of self-love 🤍.
This quote from my book “Say Yes to Your YES: How to Trust Your Gut and Take the Leap” is one of my favourites because it reminds us to prioritize our needs and desires.
It is SO easy to tell ourselves “Who am I to…”
Take the nap
Stop to cry for an hour
Say no to the invitation
Say yes to this exciting opportunity
Set boundaries
Change jobs
Leave the relationship
Take the dream trip
And so on…
When we practice self-love, we can then give to others from a full cup rather than giving out of obligation and from a place of resentment. My red flag that tells me that I’m not honouring my YESes enough is when I become passive-aggressive. This is my version of imbalance. What’s yours? Anger? Sadness? Impatience? Notice and acknowledge when these emotions come up without judgment. It is your cue to turn all that love back to yourself.
So what is the next thing you want to Say Yes to in your life/work? Close your eyes, take a few breaths and listen to what you feel in your gut. Trust that initial feeling and honour that YES! That is your truth.
If you need support in doing this, I’m hosting another free 11-Day Say Yes to Your Next YES challenge on April 11th. Our last one in January was mind-blowing. The transformation that happened in those 11 days for the participants was so beautiful to witness! You can read some transformational stories here and register to join us.
