Self Like Life Coaching

There are so many quotes about how we shouldn’t waste time.

“Tomorrow isn’t promised”. “Seize the day”. “Time is money”.

All of these put a lot of pressure on how we should spend our time. It discounts the fact taking action isn’t the only valuable way to spend time.

Learning, collecting information, and building bravery or courage are all valuable ways to spend time too.

It doesn’t need to all happen right now. A small part can happen right now and that’s great too. That’s how progress works.

I can’t promise you’re going to be here tomorrow, but I can promise your today isn’t going to be as pleasant if you’re shaming yourself over not seizing the day.

Maybe it’s not about accomplishing. Maybe it’s just about being gentle and enjoying yourself. BUT IDK

✨💗 but my e-workbook dropping 4/4. Will link it on my bio on drop day 💗✨

This version of me is better than the one I was yesterday….I’ve learned a thing or two since then.

This version may not be as mature as you would like, but remember where she came from? Boy, has she made some progress.

Being mad at yourself for not being developed enough is never going to make you more developed.

It’s more supportive to accept this not so perfect version of yourself just for today, rather than shame yourself until you reach perfection.

It makes the ride a bit more enjoyable.

What is this version of yourself like today? Explore it! It’s the most mature you’ve ever been!

Back to the basics I go….

After a lot of change or a big shift I always find myself revisiting the basics…

Healing is complex and there are so many strategies and concepts that I love so much, but at times they can be limiting. Sometimes all I need is just to remember who I am.

That can be done with a snuggle with my cat, or on a walk by the lake.

it doesn’t need to be hard-core healing for it to be effective.

Something I created recently what is a roadmap back to my Self. My center - where not everything feels good and happy, but I feel peace and trust among the chaos.

Make your own roadmap. Ask yourself, what habits and actions:
1. Always make me feel good
2. Sometimes make me feel good
3. Certainly do not make me feel good

When I’m disconnected from my center it’s usually when I’m engaging a lot in the 3rd category.

I connect back to my Self by slowing down and doing this from the 1st category (even if I have to force myself 😉).

I’ve been finding myself waiting. Waiting to enjoy myself, waiting to make more money, waiting to find good relationships.

I keep forgetting that the only thing that is real is the moment before me. Nothing else exists. I have total control of my choices and actions.

This moment can find the joy or this moment can be an inconvenience along the journey to being perfect.

So just for today I staying present to what is in front of me and celebrating both the discomfort and excitement of the moment.

My future goals cannot exist without first navigating through the waters of right now. Might as well enjoy them while I move through them.

Yes I did just watch Maid and my creative writing is coming back out to play. WHAT UP?!

I am in a mild depressive episode y’all. It’s happened.

It happened for the first time in almost a year, but she’s back.

I know she’s back when I begin hearing vvveeerrry familiar lines of thoughts playing through my head.

Most of them are me strategizing how I can just be asleep and in bed ~all~ of the time - I know this is my depression because I don’t want to stay in bed. I want my life to be colorful and full. It’s the depression that tells me my bed is the only place that is safe.

It’s been a battle to get out of bed each morning. It’s been a battle to get myself to do anything really.

What am I doing to support myself?
So glad you asked, I actually made a list!
- Going to bed earlier
- Being gentle with myself
- Moving/going for walks
- Reaching out to friends
- Doing little things to make me feel cozy and safe (wearing my robe while I work, spending a little extra time snuggling with my cat)

The biggest difference for me with this episode is the deep belief that I have letting me know that this is temporary. It’s doesn’t feel good, but this isn’t my new normal and I know that.

I also continually disidentify from my depressive thoughts. I am not my depression. My depression lies to me and I know that.

I try to continually connect to what I know to be true. Not the worn out stories my depression brings along with it.

😔

How often is your body doing something, but your mind is in a completely different spot?

Thinking about your to do list the future that weird thing you said at the bar…

When my mind and body aren’t linking up it’s a sign for me to do a little inner work.

What is causing this belief that I can’t be present? What fears do I have over being fully here now? Does it feel safe to be in my body right now?

It typically helps me uncover a bigger need that is bubbling beneath the surface. Once I discover that need I can give her some attention and compassion to help calm her back down.

Let’s get emobodied. What activities help you bring your mind and body to the same place?

NOT EVERYTHING IS AN EMERGENCY GENEVIEVE

It doesn’t need to be done right now and it doesn’t need to be done at lightning fast speed.

I use busy work as a way to numb out. If I can worry about everything I need to do then I won’t have time for all those ~feelings~ and ~emotions~.

If I can constantly be busy and distracted then I’ll never have to get intimate with myself and feel my grief and discomfort.

Truth is I could do nothing AT ALL for the next three days and my life would still be just fine.

Truth is the discomfort of grief isn’t as bad at my brain tells me it is, and I’ve survived it many times over.

Do you use being busy to avoid getting intimate?

✨THE COLLABORATION YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING YOUR WHOLE LIVES FOR ✨

I have teamed up with the incredibly talented to launch this art + intuition workshop.
We both have came from spaces of not understanding what an intuitive voice is to learning how to incorporate it into our everyday lives.

We want to help YOU do the same!

My intuition helps me to have the bravery to go after what I want, never settle, and set loving boundaries.

We have both found making some really bad judgement free art is the perfect way to connect.

We will lead you through the process of how to hear and interpret the voice of your intuition, then putting it on paper to help you keep the connection flowing BABY. ✨

AND

We are hosting an IGTV LIVE tomorrow answering all of your questions about our new bi-weekly offering that begins THIS WEDNESDAY!

It begins Wednesday
Did I mention it begins THIS Wednesday???

The thing that comes forward for me here is TRUST.

We don’t have to doubt the people around us if we trust ourselves enough to be able to handle being lied to or deceived.

Lie to me and trick me?? Cool! All you did was take advantage of someone willing to trust. That says not too much about me, but a ton about you.

You can try and pull one over on me....and you even may! But I know that I can handle whatever feelings and emotions that stirs up in me.

Lacking self trust projects onto your relationships causing you to want to control or predict another person’s behavior.

Want better relationships? Begin with your relationship with yourself.

The power to return to who I am is always within my control. ☺️
