Quit Accepting Less Than The Best
Imagine for a moment having a peaceful calm mind, a body that allowed you to say yes to everything you desired, a confidence that had you ebb and flow with grace.
Imagine a life where you wake up feeling so good in your skin, well rested, confident, energized and ready to take on your day. Imagine a life where you know yourself as capable of whatever life brings your way, letting go of your need to micro manage and control, stepping in to the peace of surrender and presence. Imagine a life where no matter how you feel in your body, you knew exactly what was needed to get back to your best health.
Health is your natural state and you already have everything you need for that reality to be yours.
This week had me deep in thought. Not sure if the thinking was a result of realizing my next birthday was weeks away, my hormones rocking their luteal phase, the weather’s moodiness, my essential oil choix du jour, your guess is as good as mine and there is no doubt this week has been one of reflection and it all lead me to feel more excited than ever to be here guiding you to that optimal health.
As someone who has questioned everything from health to spirituality to systems since I was a teen, there’s never any shortage of information inundating my mind, I could likely write and write and write, speak and speak some more and the knowledge I have would never be fully birthed. As an entrepreneur this can feel in moments so exciting and in others, debilitating. This week my body was calling for rest and I am grateful
I have mastered the ability to honor what my body asks for.
In this week’s rest, I had an opportunity to reconnect to the knowledge I have and also the reality that the world (generally speaking) does not have the knowledge I’ve spent almost (remember birthday approaching) 28 years accumulating.
The rest also had me very present to the knowing that life is a mountain with no top and in a world selling and celebrating quick fix, fast food approaches, it's no wonder so many are frustrated and defeated. As a whole, we question ourselves, walking around confused and insecure, unable to trust ourselves let alone get to know who we are, honor it and share it with the world.
Once again my moment of slowing down and allowing rest had me reconnect with my purpose and grounded in the reason I have a coaching practice and saw the need to expand it in a big way. It had me excited to offer more coaching space, bring together like minds, be a space for
connection and exploration, education and fun.
What excited me the most this week was how truly powerful talking about health is and how what we’ve been taught, and the information the world wants us to know, is not the path to a great life, let alone waking up to a life you want to make out with. I also became extremely clear that if I could only convey one message it would be that health is a lifelong journey with a daily opportunity of choices that move you to a new best version of you.
I thought back to the 14 year old me who was so unwell. So unwell I missed over 160 days of school in one school year. So unwell I was hospitalized to treat extreme pain. So unwell I questioned why I would stay living at all. I was also connected to how those extremely low moments and thoughts of ending my life in fact had me wake up to the reality I was accepting and how there was no way that how I was feeling was how I was meant to feel. I shook my head, and continue to shake my head today at the thought of having accepted pain, illness, struggle as norm. In a moment I drew the line in the sand and said no way is this how life is meant to be, and while it is my current reality there has to be another way.
This week I was aware of the fact that while today my knowledge and experience around health is bountiful, it has taken me 28 years to get here, and daily I am discovering new access to health. It has me see this beautiful grace and compassion for the world who may have not yet started the journey, or who while health isn’t as they would like it they have no idea what to do next, where to start, who to ask, what to google. This week had me feeling blessed that not only do I have first hand experience with health but also a plethora of trainings, certifications and skills that will allow others to hack health and discover how delicious life truly is designed to be.
So whether you’re reading this feeling the worst you’ve ever felt, or you’re reading this feeling like you’re pretty healthy but know life could be better, allow yourself time to check in and ask yourself if there’s more.
Are you allowing yourself to justify how you’re feeling on a comparison to how those around you feel, or “people your age”?
Are you find, you sleep ok, your meds have things handled?
If you’re honest are you settling or are you truly in the best health possible?
This isn’t a place to judge or beat yourself up but rather an opportunity to pause and see the access honesty allows. Maybe this is your moment to draw your line in the sand and say enough is enough. Maybe this is when you say “ya my life is ok but i’m done being fine with being fine”. Maybe this is the moment you say “i deserve to know myself deeply, know exactly what i need, know how peace feels and allow myself to thrive.”
You Deserve A Life So Good You Want To Make Out With It!
