The Afternoon Matcha Club

Ever heard someone say, you get back what you put out?

 

Well, that is just it.  The energy that you put into the world is the energy that you are attracting to yourself and your life.  What do you desire to be attracting towards yourself and into your life?

I would like to take a moment to talk about being selfish, self-indulgent, filling your own cup first...

I bet that some of these words or phrases feel a bit uncomfortable for you? Selfish is a hard one for me.

But I have learned that it isn't word that are hard but our interpretation of the word. It could be how we were raised to understand the meaning.

Be brave enough to be bad at something new!

Babe! This is hard for me too. Actually one of the hardest things for me is the pull between growing and being bad at things.
I hate being bad at anything.

I almost always choose growth (I am not perfect), but it is the hard choice for me. The feeling of being stagnant propels me into the choice to grow and learn but do I ever hate being new and bad at things.

I love to feel like I know what I am doing, I mean don't we all.

How does the word surrender make you feel? What kinds of feelings does it evoke? Do you feel release, letting go, stress free? Or do you feel like you are giving up and not caring? It could be any of those feelings but either way could be negative or positive?

I hope that you have made some time for fun this week.  Joy, Play, Fun, Dancing.  So as you are focused and crushing it with your big goals, make some time in your schedule to have a mid afternoon dance party, go for a walk outside, catch up with a friend for matcha lattes or something else totally for fun!

Mmmm, did you feel that?  You are so loved.  You are so loved. This is often truer than we realise. We are loved by our family, friends, partners, pets but are we loved by ourselves?  

And it is often sneaky, you think that you love yourself, but do you? I always thought that I loved myself but, really did I? I was critical of how I looked, how I sometimes reacted to things and often things that I did weren't really good enough.  Is that self-love?

No, the answer is no!

Read that again…I’ll wait….

Be a voice, not an echo.

Such a small set of words but babe do they ever have a big meaning.

Choose to use your voice instead of letting the world or your world, create a life, opinions and choices for you with it's echo. If you don't make the choices, then someone else is.

Be intentional about every step you take, every word that you use, every person in your life, every habit that you have because every choice you don't make....it isn't your choice and your life should be nothing if not a collection of all of YOUR choices.

I’ve done it all to get ahead…and I got there, to the place that I thought that I wanted to go, when you think that if you keep ticking things off the to do list that this plus that equals happiness. The dream job, the lovely boyfriend, the adventurous lifestyle! But somewhere along the way, I needed more.

This took me a third of my life to learn this, well, until after my 30th birthday. I was a doer. I still am but these days I do more of what I love...

What do you dream of? What does your soul want to do? What is on your vision board? I was lucky enough to have someone tell me this when I was youn...

Are you feeling a bit sluggish?

Are you wondering how you're going to do it all again at Christmas and still be fit enough to ski this winter or are you going to have the chance to fit into you bathing suit in the spring?

Or are you wondering how you poor gut is doing?

You are the CEO of your life! Hire, fire and promote accordingly.

It takes a lot of us a long time to really know this. Trust me you aren’t behind for not actually implementing this into your life.
