I was so shocked to hear this simple statement from a strategy coach: “you will never finish all the tasks on your to do list” and here I was thinking it’s just me 😆 I thought something was wrong with me that I somehow never get everything done...

My message to you, celebrate yourself every step of the way. No point in looking back and beating yourself up for something that already happened... take the lesson and try to move on without blaming yourself for it

Don’t live in the future, investing all your time and energy in that future goal and forgetting to live now. Truth is once you reach that big vision the goal post will be moved up and something new will be there to be achieved. If you don’t stop to appreciate yourself now, when will you???

Today I messed up, and was ashamed of how I spoke to someone I love. I had to remind myself that letting go of perfectionism was my #1 resolution for 2022 and this is an opportunity to make things better than before. What do I mean by that? It’s a wonderful analogy that I heard from my 3’d grade teacher which I still remember till today because I loved the redemption at the end:
Imagine there’s a rope between you and your friend (or partner/child etc) and you’re both holding onto one end of the rope, when a rift happens between you two, the rope is cut. Now the connection is severed BUT If you repair the relationship it doesn’t just go back to the way it was before, because when you want to tie back two pieces of rope together it becomes shorter, which brings the two people closer! 🎀 this describes what happens when we apologize and reconcile in our relationships we sometimes have the opportunity to become even closer than we were before - when we do it sincerely.
So after all, the mistake can be a gift as it can bring us to a level of closeness that we wouldn’t have gotten to if the mess up never happened...
Have you had an experience like this? Where you were able to turn an embarrassing mess up into a gift? 🎁

Celebrating your milestones is so much more important during challenging times. During a mastermind with today I realized how powerful it can be when we take some time to write down what we are proud of ourselves for. We were asked what from 2021 are we proud of ourselves for and at first I thought maybe one or two “big” things because I was so focused on what I still wanna achieve. But the more time we had to think the more I realized how much I haven’t given credit to myself and I’m sure the same can be done for you about this week! Have you fallen into that trap of never feeling good enough and not realizing the long list of things you should be proud of yourself for? I invite you to share at least one thing you are grateful to yourself for this weekend. The more the merrier 😁

« I should be able to... I don’t know why I’m not more... »
When I hear friends judge themselves like that it breaks me inside. Because I have lived with the unfair burden of self blame for most of my life and I wish I could scream this from the rooftops: no! no dear, you couldn’t have. If it was possible then you would have already done it. Don’t blame yourself for « procrastinating » (if you haven’t checked out the book Laziness doesn’t exist » then you should)

I learned the hard way that all the things that I couldn’t « get done already » had very good and valid reasons, but I bypassed then every time I put societies high impossible standards above my own wellbeing.

I’m here to tell you that if you haven’t yet done that thing, changed that habit, or improved whatever last year’s resolution was; you can turn that expectation on its head because achieving whatever you wish for cannot be achieved alone. Nothing successful ever happened in a vacuum or by one person only. We need each other and our connection with good people is what helps us flourish and thrive.
Here’s a personal example: for years after leaving a cult-like community I worked hard on self-love. I knew my capacity for loving my nearest and dearest, and any human really is only as much as I’m willing to love myself. I can’t give compassion to others if I don’t first give myself grace. So I did some practices very diligently to « love myself better » and I went from hating myself and absolutely disgusted with myself when I looked into the mirror, to finally being ok with myself, & liking myself.
What do you think helped me introduce my system to loving myself? No practices in the world could do that for me. It happened when I signed up for my first online mastermind. I met like minded people on a similar journey and when I experienced for the first time he genuine love for who I am and not particularly dependent on what I « do » that’s when everything changed for me. Feeling seen and appreciated for the person that I am, helped me realize I AM loveable. I had no clue before that I didn’t have to work myself rugged helping someone in order

I recently came across a heartbreaking confession on someone’s ig, a young woman who was struggling with serious depression but hiding her suicidal feelings from her family. She wrote: I function and go to work every day so they don’t know I’m dying.

It made me realize something that I’ve been bothered by a lot before: society’s pressure on performance, and being « productive » how damaging and toxic it can be. The usual way to measure if someone is not plagued by mental health struggles, was: if they are « functioning » then it’s good, but it’s a false measuring stick imo. It doesn’t allow ppl to take the rest their body needs. So many are afraid to be considered lazy. And the detriments from pushing yourself while you desperately need to relax are sometimes devastating.
The most precious gift 🎁 we can give ourselves sometimes is REST
Counterintuitively it makes us more productive!
You know in your heart how much rest you need. Don’t let society’s crippled interpretation of rest & progress deter you from giving yourself all the rest you deserve; Whenever you need it!
