Hey there. Thanks for being here. Thanks for coming over again and pouring yourself into investing in you time…the moments it takes to give yourself permission to step over into a more thoughtful space where you’re sifting through posts and pouring through the internet looking for something that speaks to you.
I get it.
It takes honoring ourselves in the few moments we have to do such a thing.
It takes a total commitment to saying you know what? I need this. I need to sit here and pause and think and I need some hand holding to show me how….to show me how to nurture me and hug my heart and be willing even if for just five minutes to let go of apology and guilt and to stop asking if I have permission. It takes moments of investing in the total now and it takes tons of effort to focus thought right there..in the now…and right here in this page.
So thank you for investing in you that way.
I wanna offer a hug back. Because I get it. I get it soooo vastly much how many distractions are out there ….within our own thoughts, amidst the messages we take in, amidst the all that we do going about our days. There’s total non stop messages we take in and navigate through all while pausing or playing the dialogue going on within us.
I wanna help you grow the mental pause button. 🙂
I wanna help you learn how to pause the constant chatter and the constant dialoguing and figure out how to sift your thoughts and know which ones you wanna hold onto, which ones are total you, and which ones are not, the ones that we take in without real intention.
So I’m hugging you for being here because I think you get that I’m totally 100% about owning our moments and our thoughts and realizing how much gets in the way of doing that.
But how else are we to sculpt and build our lives the way we need to?
How else are we to fully love, the whole point really, without judgments and limits and ridiculous rules?
How else are we to full on BE the who we are and all it takes to ensure we don’t cave to become who ‘they’ want us to be, whoever they are, even those dear loved ones who may think they know what’s best for us?
Managing thoughts matters so deeply much. So this is me hugging you for every ounce of effort you pour into it.
And in addition to my hug, I’m offering a challenge which is this:
Let go of apologizing.
Start small or big however you must.
But let go of apologizing for not being yet all you see for yourself…..
Stop apologizing you aren’t the daughter or granddaughter or wife or partner or mother you thought you’d be.
Stop apologizing you’re not the son or the grandson or the husband or the partner or the father you thought you’d be.
Stop apologizing you are not the friend you thought you’d be or the employee or the professional.
Why?
Because you’ve done that enough. Apologized. You have. And you know you have.
Kay.
Dwellsville will keep you in it’s grasp and often it will make us apologize so much that it robs us of fresh thoughts to pour into becoming.
And you may wanna know ‘what do you mean ‘pour thoughts into becoming’ ? And we’ll get there. That’s not my focus for right now.
For right now, my invitation to you is to give yourself permission to stop apologizing.
The who you are, your authentic self, is so vastly safe and complete and whole this moment.
And the perspective that you’re not good enough has sucked so much life out of you by now.
So let’s be done with that apology role.
We have this moment. Now.
And we are all we need to be this moment.
And that’s the whole demand of this moment.
Kay.
Feel hugged, give yourself permission to stop apologizing, and see you at the next gathering in a day or 2.
Deep respect for the who you are, deep support for your footsteps and journey, and big hug for all that you are diving into with creating the woman and man you seek to be.
Til soon…..
Tre ~
