The Afternoon Matcha Club

What is the hardest thing that you do every day?

For me it is letting go, surrendering and trusting that the universe has my back and that I am smart enough to handle it all.

Every morning and several times throughout the day I have to take a deep breath and whisper to myself, surrender babe, you can't control it, it will work out the way it will and that will be perfect in the long run.

I have seen the word confidence come up a bit recently and babe!

Confidence breeds beauty. It is the reason that you are magnetising all of the good into your life and it is the reason that you feel so damn good today!

To feel confident in yourself, your decisions and your ability is such and satisfying and delightful feeling.

Confidence is sustainable and supportive and cannot be contained. Once you have it, you can always find it and use it and it will naturally spread out around you and affect other people.

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.

I know that I do. I desire to be a woman that does life the way that feels good for me, not because it makes other people feel safe.

You get a choice in every moment in your life and you can choose the life that is truly calling to you or you can follow the path that has been nicely set out for you. It could be easier but it might not be fulfilling and if it isn’t going to fill you up, then is it really easier?

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.

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...

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.
