Freedom is inside.

One of the Hardest Things to Do as a Woman… Is to Honor Yourself!

Like, TRULY honor yourself—your body, your mind, and what your soul needs in every moment.

Generally speaking, I’ve always thought of myself as someone who deeply honors myself. I practice daily self-care, etc. But the other morning ☀️, something unexpected happened. I did what I always do: woke up, meditated, worked out, made breakfast, and got Stella ready for the day. After my workout and after getting Stella off to camp, I sat down and heard a still, small voice whisper to me. It was such a strange whisper because of what it was asking me to do.

You see, it was a dreary morning, and the night before, I watched this cute romcom 📺 but had to go to bed before it was over. I had 30 minutes left. That little voice said, 🗣️ “Why don’t you finish the movie?” This was the most unheard-of thing I could ever hear—I’ve never sat down to watch something on a weekday morning. I tried to ignore it, but it said it again. My instant thoughts were, 🙅‍♀️ “I can’t do that. I’m not the kind of person who does that. That would be so irresponsible. It’s a workday, and I have things to accomplish. It’s time to get ready and start working.”

But that little voice kept saying, “Relax and finish your movie.”

So, I did. 👍

In the next moment, I sat on my couch, snuggled with my dog, and watched the end of that movie. During those 30 minutes, I subconsciously told myself something very powerful: I love you. I will take care of you. 🫂 I will nurture you! That is far more powerful than any work I could’ve accomplished in those 30 minutes.

Taking time in the little moments of life isn’t just necessary—it’s imperative to live a life you truly dream of. How can you live the life of your dreams if you’re busy punishing yourself to work harder? That’s not where the flow happens. The flow happens in the moment-by-moment listening to that still, small voice from within, telling you what it needs... and listening!

The truth is, once the movie was over, I realized why I needed to finish watching it in the first place. For one, it put me in a high-vibe state, and second, it opened my heart a little more for the day.

After all was said and done, I wasn’t even late starting my day. 😀
