The greatest joy I feel, and will ever know, is these three 🧡
As I prepare to launch a new business, I vow to keep them my greatest priority, above all else, something I have failed to do in past ventures, and have learned great lessons from.
I do not beat myself up over this, because I did not fail, I learned. To me, failure would be repeating past mistakes.
This time will be different. This time will require more communication, more effort, more planning, more structure, and a commitment to myself to honour my values, regardless of the pressure I feel to act otherwise.
Let me say that again, to myself as much as to you:
...REGARDLESS OF THE PRESSURE I FEEL TO ACT OTHERWISE.
This, my friends, is called boundaries! I have been reminded of how important it is to both set, and adhere to, my boundaries over the past few weeks. It's something that requires regular self 'check-ins'.
The way I do this is through journalling, and having deep and vulnerable conversations with myself in my private moments of journalling, and with the people I let in, the people I trust most. These are my babies, particularly my big ones, my dearest friends, and my beautiful parents 💕
I have to constantly check in with my body and ask, "How do you/does this FEEL?".
What I know for sure is that my body does not lie to me. It is the greatest truth teller. Do I always listen to it...nope. But I am so much better now, at 44, than I was at 24, at 34, even 3 years ago!
I have a fire burning inside me to inspire change and to lift up more women and mothers of Australia to reclaim their power, feel their inner grace and beauty and feel incredibly sexy in their own skin...no make-up, no heels, nothing but their heart, their soul, and possibly a fair bit of sweat 💦 (sweat is sexy, girls!!!)
But, I will do this on my terms, at my pace, and with my babies hopefully nor ever feeling like they have to compete for their Mamma-Bear.
