There’s Power in Letting Go!

I’ve been noticing a trend lately.

A trend for myself, but also a trend for my clients.

There’s a fear of letting go…letting go of control in our lives.

But I’m here to tell you, there is so much power in letting go.

People always say things like:

- Let go of the expectations we have for ourselves.

- Let go of the rules we have for others.

- Let go of the requirements from society.

But those never feel real for me.

I had to go smaller than that, because I needed it to be tangible for my life.

Here’s a few of the “rules” I’ve let go of in my life and I’ve never been more at peace:

- The rule that I must have a schedule for our homeschool routine.

- The rule that I must wake up by a certain time in order to have a beautiful morning routine before the kids wake up.

- The rule that I must do the same routines everyday is order to build effective habits.

- The rule that my husband should be the one who shows me affection first.

- The rule that good moms have spotless organized homes.

I’ve let go of quite a few more, but those are the ones I didn’t realize were rolling around in my brain making me miserable.

We all go through different seasons on this journey.

Some seasons, our marriage is harder.

Some seasons, being a mom is harder.

Some seasons, just being a human is harder.

But every season comes with thoughts that make it that much harder.

When you can spot the thoughts that are serving you, you’re that much closer to feeling peace in all seasons.

You’ve got this, Mama!

Warmly,

What would be different for you if you stopped wanting the thing and took one action toward it instead?

04/19/2024

I was coaching a client today, and we had a good laugh about how our brains can be bratty or lazy teenagers.

I shared in my Voxer broadcast channel where I was struggling with taking action on some of my goals.

I’m on a self-care and weight loss journey right now, trying to lose some of the baby weight that’s still hanging around even though my baby is now 3 years old.

I mentioned before, but I’m on the 75 Soft Challenge. I started, and after one week, I quit and rebooted.

I couldn’t even last 7 days! How sad is that?!

But here’s the real story behind it.

I’m a mom. So life can be very unpredictable.

For instance, today, my 5 year old woke up at 4 AM and I’ve been up with her ever since.

And I almost let that stop me from taking action on my personal goals.

But when I decided to reboot on my 75 Soft, it was because I hadn’t accounted for some of the pieces of mom life, so I wanted to tweak things a bit.

It didn’t undo the work I had done on the challenge up to that point.

But my brain wanted to feed into my self-doubt. And this morning, I decided it was time to out-action my mindset.

Mindset work is so important. It’s the foundation of everything I do, and mindset work is the foundation of everything I do with my clients.

But I was already well aware of the mindset I was struggling with, and in this instance, I knew the best way to work on my mindset was to prove it wrong by taking action.
What’s that look like for moms?
It depends on the goals and the mindset causing setbacks.

For me today, it meant getting up off of the chair and doing the workout instead of having an internal coaching session with my brain to convince it WHY I should be working out.

Would I have been able to do that earlier this year?

Probably not…I would have believed the thoughts my brain gave me.

Thoughts like:
You probably won’t finish the challenge anyway.
It’s not like you’re going to lose the weight.
You never follow through.

All thoughts that are unhelpful, but all thoughts I used to have about myself regularly.

And it left me feeling like 💩 and highly unmotivated.

But now when my brain gives me those kinds of thoughts, I know where it’s coming from and I know how to interact with it in a way that works for me and my personality.

That’s what coaching has done for me.

How might coaching help you?

I thought anxiety would rule my days for the rest of my life.

I hid from it with food, TV, anything to avoid feeling it.

Feeling it truly feels awful.

My anxiety was impacting so many parts of my life. I wasn’t able to enjoy being a mom.

I wasn’t able to connect with my husband, and it nearly ruined my marriage.

I struggled with finding new mom friends because I was sure no one would want to be friends with me.

And up until recently, I was holding strong to the baby weight.

Then I figured out a way to feel it without making it mean anything bad about me. My anxiety didn’t mean there was something wrong with me. It just meant something was wrong.

I’m not broken. Not now and not then.

I just had to find a way to process the anxiety that worked for me.

And for me, I am literally saying out loud what I’m feeling.

I name the emotion.

Then I describe the feeling in my body, because that’s where we experience our emotions…in our bodies.

Where am I feeling it?
What are my physical reactions? Racing heart? Tears stinging my eyes? Body temperature rising?
What color is it?
What temperature is it?
What shape? What size? What weight?

We never question our good feeling emotions, because they feel good.

If you’re like me, the negative ones always made me think negative things about me. And that just wasn’t something I was willing to do.

But that’s not true anymore. Now I notice the emotion and I know how to just let it be there. I know how to slow my mind down now so I can process it and move on.

I’m more connected to myself than ever before, and with that connection everything else is getting better.

I’m having more fun everyday with my kids. I have a core set of friends who I can lean on when I need them. My marriage is stronger than ever.

And I’m embarking on my weight loss journey with open eyes and a willingness to fail and learn and grow.

Every thing I’m doing now is because I gave myself permission to grow last year. 2023 was a hell year for me, but I wouldn’t be where I am now if it hadn’t been for that chapter.

You can do that too. No matter what you’re going through right now, you’ve got this!

Has your marriage been challenging since becoming a mom?

We all experience this in our marriages, especially after kiddos.

Our mom brains become acutely aware of the things our husbands do that annoy the bejeezus out of us.

And with the brunt of parenting on our shoulders, who has energy to focus any more time or attention on the marriage?

But I’m here to tell you, if that’s where you’re at, I get it. But I’m also here to tell you this is the time to give some of that energy to this workshop.

I’m teaching the 4-Steps to reset your mind so you can reset your marriage.

It’s the same steps I used when I was struggling in my marriage, because I knew that if I didn’t do something, my marriage probably wouldn’t have survived the year.

But now I’m thriving in my marriage, because I was willing to take the first step to work on my mindset.
