If I don’t look @ my breakfast like this- I don’t want it 🙅🏻‍♀️

Your friendly Tuesday reminder 😘

What we resists persist.

Denying something because you don't like it, doesn't make it less real.

There's a beauty with working WITH life instead of against it.

As soon as we learn to accept things as they are, we can act accordingly.

Change comes from acceptance, controlling the things you can, and not letting the things you can't hold you down.

Pro Tip: You lose A LOT of mental energy that could be used towards better things by worrying about what others think.

Use that energy to work on yourself.

You mess up? Cool... people might judge... but would you rather spend your time worrying about them, or trying again?

You can only control some things in life. Most of them being how you show up & react & perceive life.

You only have so much mental space in day. You can use it to worry, or you can use it to do things.

If you use it to do things. If you use it to self-reflect & try again. YOU KNOW you are trying your best, and other people can't touch that.

Confidence isn't always about being THE best. It's also about giving YOUR BEST.

And you can't give your best if you're making decisions based on what you think everyone else thinks about your s**t... or what someone thinks about who you we're 5 years ago or when you messed up that one time.

Focus in, own your own 💩 - and use your energy on that.

The rest will fall in place.

MAY GIVEAWAY!

While I have a bunch of my favorite products to giveaway next month, a few of you requested this & I thought it was a beautiful idea, so we're rolling with it.

This month's giveaway is a free 75 minute coaching & strategy session with ME!

You will walk away with a recording of the call, actionable steps to get you closer to your goals, AND resources to support you.

I've got an eye for blind spots and gift for identifying simple solutions to things that have been holding you back.

Rules to enter this one are a little different;

1- LIKE THIS POST
2- SHARE THIS POST
3- COMMENT (or you can message me if that feels better) and tell me why this sessions would help you 🥰

** must be 18 years or older

I will pick a winner or 5/15/21 :-)

This is why we enjoy the things RIGHT NOW.

Been a little slower on recipe output because all my recipes are getting moved do this sweet new format.

If you join my Patreon ($11/month) you'll now have access to an app (or website) that allows you to build meal plans & grocery lists from the cooking club recipes- you can also add in your own recipes or others :-)

Super user friendly, and recipes will only be a click away. They also come with all da nutrient info, a health rating, glycemic index #, and all those goodies.

I'm still decided if May's JCC zoom class will be on stress management OR finding balance... TBD!

I am excited to make my first sour dough loaf though with the sour dough starters we made this month!

If you're looking to add more joy and balance to your diet, with a dash of healthy living content, then PLEASE join my Patreon (link in bio) :-)

I've thought about this subject a lot.

There's a huge gap between when we want/hope for something and actually having/accomplish it.

And I ask myself all the time, what is that gap?

And it dawned on me recently, it's choosing.

Each day we have a number a seemingly simple choices, but in order to get what we want or something we haven't had before, we have to choose something new.

Here's the thing about making choices.

If you choose one thing, you often have to let go of other things;

like temporary comfort

the easy out

the option to "start tomorrow"

the unhealthy coping habit you've been justifying for years

doing what everyone else is doing

instant pleasure

Why is the hard? Because often to accomplish what we want, the CHOICE we need choose is the one that has ZERO immediate return, and is uncomfortable in the moment.

Choosing to go on a walk instead of watching TV

Eating healthy and meal planning instead of ordering out

working out instead of relaxing

doing the work instead of scrolling through IG

You get the point. Here's the best part though; it's all just once choice away. Everyday.

You have the power, just ask yourself in the moment, temporary pleasure or long term satisfaction?

You got this :)

Also this is why I have 'abandon hope' tatoo'd on my body. I'm hopeful, but I like to remind myself I have choice in the matter 😉

We often justify ourselves with saying things like "well I was nice about it" or "I was just telling the truth"

But here's the thing ^^^^^^^^ if that kindness IS NOT paired with truth or that truth IS NOT paired with kindness, you're often not going to get far.

I always think about how children are the most receptive to things, and it's never when you're harsh, or when you're too nice.

Then they either fear you or walk over you.

But have you ever kindly explain the truth to a child? And talked to them like they're a human just looking to understand? They're a lot more receptive.

This isn't just parenting advice though, the thing is we're just grown up children, most of us will still listen better if we're met with truth and kindness 🥰

What do you think?
