Self-doubt. Can I do this? Can I really accomplish these goals I have for myself? Am I doing enough? I am enough? Where do I even start? Is this even possible?

Sometimes it can be easy to get lost in these questions that bounce around in our heads. And then those questions will start an inner turmoil that ends up making you feel more lost than before. And I will be the first to tell you, you are not crazy or inadequate because of these thoughts or feelings.
We all go there, we all have our journey with self-doubt. But when you find yourself lost in this turmoil, I want to give you permission to take control of the situation. When you get lost and don’t know what step to take next, I am here to remind you that you already know what step to take.

Just take a deep breath and ask yourself, what is that I’m chasing? What is the life I really want to live? How does that life feel? What does it feel like to imagine that dream life?

The life you prefer to live, the feelings your prefer to embody, the environment you prefer to surround yourself with… that’s your roadmap. That can be your next step. You can have the frequency you wish your life to vibrate at, but you must first choose to live in that frequency NOW. The frequency you put into the world will rotate and come right back at you. So today, own the frequency you wish to live in.
[PS thanks to my wonderful therapist for teaching this affirmation.]

The official certificate has come in the mail. ✔️Time to get it framed and hang it next to the diploma. 💰

This week’s affirmation is actually a part of a longer affirmation that has been close to my heart for the past year. “I choose myself.”
><
“I know myself. I trust myself. I choose myself. I love myself.”

The full moon was last night so now it’s time to harvest all the seeds you planted on the new moon back in the beginning of August (8/8/21). And with this full moon, I invite you to make room to continue choosing yourself. Or if you aren’t in the habit of choosing yourself.. start choosing yourself this week.

☕️ 🫖 Make the choice to fill your cup up first… fill the cup up SO much that it pours over into the saucer. And when someone reaches for your cup, give them what’s fallen into the saucer and keep the full cup all to yourself. ☕️🫖

Its not selfish to take care of yourself, it’s selfless. Because you WILL show up as a better person if you have addressed your needs first. You WILL provide more love for others, if you provide yourself with love first.

What will you do everyday this week to choose yourself?

Something I’ve been working on personally is stepping out of my own way. Learning to fully trust myself and my capabilities has been a journey. ~~

Everyone goes through self-doubt, it’s just most carry so much shame around it, so they keep it to themselves and never reach out for help. Isn’t that sad? When we really need the help most, when we really need outside perspective to tell us if our thoughts are irrational or logical, we don’t even ask for help.
What I find ironic about this, is most the time, if it’s something we REALLY WANT you will 100% feel some kind of fear around the idea of stepping into whatever it is you want. So more than likely, those thoughts of self-doubt ARE irrational and the only logical thing you can do, is embrace the fear and just dive straight in. Face the fear, stare it straight in the eye and prove that fear wrong. Imagine how great it will feel when you can look back on the day you were afraid to make the change and can LAUGH and say “well, look at me now”.

When you step into your fullest potential, it will be scary. When you step into your own inner power, you will leave an old version of yourself behind and THATS what is so scary. You will leave behind the only version of you that you’ve ever known until this point, but you will come out the other side a wiser, stronger, and unstoppable human. And that’s something to look forward to.

So this week, I challenge you to identity the “story” you are telling yourself (remember, it’s only that, a story, not reality) and own this new power you are wanting to step into.
