Knowing something in your head is cheap, embodying it is the expensive part, and that's the part nobody sees. I'm guilty of taking the work for granted too, I'll catch myself thinking I should already be past something and forget that change actually costs energy every single time. Even one felt shift is worth way more than a hundred correct thoughts about it. So go give yourself the action needed to embody and empower yourself.

It’s our job to create heaven on earth now! Transform pain into strength, anger is just information, it’s a signal that a boundary has been crossed. Feel anger consciously and face your shadow. Choose growth and inner peace. ☮️

I did it… I wore a crop top out in public while I was working, doing freelance delivery work. Driving and getting back to deliveries was already a huge deal because I was in a car accident back in May and I’m still recovering, physically and mentally... But what better way to do those things than to add self love into the mix by facing another challenge that Ive already been working on for quite some time... one I’ve had my whole life: confidence in my body. Well, that confidence is growing… mmmmm peaking is a better descriptive word ✨️💪😌🙏 We do recover 🙌💪🎉 This healing work has turned my mind around, one release at a time… one baby step at a time. Or one leap. Each level of this onion I’m peeling has had different measurements, but they all lead ahead.. even the ones that feel like you’re going backward.

When the little boy or girl heal, the man and woman show up.

I’m a bigger girl, and I’ve had a complicated relationship with my weight and what I wear for a long time. But the healing work I’ve been doing is helping me feel closer to myself than I ever have. Yesterday, I was dancing in a tank top, looking at my reflection, and felt the urge to lift it into a crop top. I did...and it felt amazing. I was excited to go out with my friends and my boyfriend dressed that way. But before he even knew that’s what I wanted, I put a tee shirt on over it. He had put on dress pants, which felt funny because lately I’ve often been the one dressing up in a dress. We joked about the irony, and I showed him the tank top underneath. I said, “Well, this is how I really want to go.” He laughed and said people might make fun of me. I laughed too and wondered out loud what they might say. Later, we talked more seriously. He said he’d feel the need to step in if someone was rude, and asked me to consider how that might affect him too. I heard him...and I also noticed that I’d covered up before he even knew I was considering going out that way. I’d felt good in what I was wearing, then changed before anyone else had a chance to react. I’m still sitting with that. Was I protecting myself? Avoiding someone else’s discomfort? And how do I make room for my own choice without turning it into a reaction? One thing I know: I want to buy a bunch of crop tops now, even though the weather is about to get cold. 😂 That may be the rebel in me talking...but I also love the feeling of not hiding. Maybe I’ll wear one tomorrow. Maybe I’ll take my time. Either way, I want the choice to come from being connected to myself. Where do you notice yourself wanting to express more of who you are...and what helps you tell the difference between a choice that feels true and a reaction to pressure?
