I used to find it really hard to rest when I had goals that I still hadn’t made progress on.

Sure, I was exhausted from the work I was already doing.

And had been working hard for YEARS in my dance career and then in my massage business.

Still, resting felt like it would be a total waste of time.

The urgency I felt was so strong, and kept me only doing “surface level” resting.

What does that mean?

Well for me, I would carve out a little time and begrudgingly rest a bit.

BUT the whole time I was “resting” I’d be thinking about what I WASN’T getting done.

Or maybe I’d distract myself enough during the moment but then afterwards I’d feel so behind and guilty for not being productive.

The thing is, I was never REALLY setting it down. It would be on my mind constantly, and no matter what I was doing, I’d tell myself I should have done more already.

So the rest was kind of fake!

It didn’t count for anything.

Once I finally learned to unapologetically set it down, then I was able to make moves on what I wanted to create.

I would truly rest, then come back stronger with ideas and motivation that was nowhere to be found when I was pushing through.

So let me save you some time….learn to actually rest. Set things down for a bit.

The more you fight it, the longer it takes to get what you want.

Seriously, though. Stop telling yourself that you are doing it wrong.

Your way of doing things doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

So many of my creative clients think they are doing something wrong if they don’t plan every detail the way others do. Or if they don’t time block or journal or whatever else someone has told them is necessary for success.

But when we explore it, we find it’s because they don’t need it! They process in a different way, or they like to have a sketch of a plan and then feel into the details in real time.

They’ve been trying to fit into a mold that doesn’t serve them, and when it doesn’t work, they beat themselves up.

I’m willing to bet that you DO have a solid process that works for you, when you don’t stop yourself from using it.

What would it look like if you were trusting YOUR process?

Want some help uncovering this?

Don’t wait until you have time.

Until you’ve finished everything on your to do list.

That never happens anyways!

Don’t worry if it doesn’t feel “productive”.

I promise you it is.

When you make space for the things that bring you joy, you invite creativity and flow into your day.

This actually makes you better and faster at finding solutions and getting things done. 🤯🤯

When you make space for fun and play, you take a stand for your own happiness.

You make a loud and clear statement that your happiness matters just as much as all of the “have to’s”.

When you get into flow, you actually can find an ease in your productivity that feels energizing.

Remember- just be like Amos, my 15 year old puppy. He’s a pro at making time for his favorite hobby every single day.

Need some help finding the time for fun?

Schedule a free consult with me where we will map out where your time and energy is leaking so that you can work back in the fun and joy.

✨It’s time to REST like your potential DEPENDS on it! ✨✨✨✨

Fulfilling your potential DEPENDS on giving yourself what you need.

- Rest
- Help
- Support
-Time to focus
-Doing things that feed your soul

So…what’s been stopping you from giving it to yourself?

It might be a story about how it’s not possible, or that other people don’t need it, so you shouldn’t.

But why do this? At the end of the day, it only matters what YOU need in order to do the thing you KNOW you are here to do.

There’s literally no point to telling yourself you shouldn’t need something, if you do need it.

It invites in shame and self judgement that only shuts down your ability to think of how you can solve the problem.

What would help you thrive right now?

We’ll be talking all about this at the upcoming retreat I am cohosting with 4 other amazing practitioners. The day is all about supporting yourself through nourishing, heart centered practices designed to leave you feeling renewed and connected to yourself.

Space is limited-sign up soon!

If you notice that you are feeling resentful, pause to notice your next thought.

Is it “yeah but it’s easier for me to just do it”

Or “ I should be able to handle this anyways”.

Or my favorite “I don’t have a choice”. (Spoiler alert-we almost always have a choice)

These thoughts keep the resentment running silently in the background.

And, they keep you from actually giving yourself what you need.

They make you think that wanting to set a boundary is the result of a flaw in your character.

A weakness or inability to cope.

Feeling resentful is not the problem.

Continuing to ignore yourself is.

Have you ever thought that feeling resentful meant that something was wrong with YOU?

If this resonates and you’d like some help with this, send me a DM and I’ll send over my free pdf all about how to set boundaries from a place of love, for yourself and everyone around you. It doesn’t have to feel terrible!

✨✨Happy Sunday ✨✨

I’ve been able to make this shift, and let me tell you, it’s a whole new world!

One that has me enjoying the actual heck out of my life, even though I haven’t solved every problem or checked off every goal yet.

Before, I thought I could only celebrate myself once I had all the things I wanted.

So I would tell myself I couldn’t have fun until…

I couldn’t feel successful until….

And the voice in my head only clocked the ways in which I was failing.

I wasn’t being very kind to myself at all.

So it made it feel like a VERY big deal every time one small thing didn’t work out.

This KILLED my motivation to keep going. Which only slowed down my results.

Can you relate?

If you want to be working towards the vision you have for your life, it does not have to come by way of constantly criticizing yourself and reminding yourself of what you HAVEN’T DONE and what ISN’T WORKING.

Yes, those things can be used as information.

But approaching your goals with radical KINDNESS towards yourself is actually what will speed up your results 🤷‍♀️🤯🤯

If you’re ready get what you want in life without resorting to using your harsh inner critic, schedule a free consultation with me. Link in bio.

There’s no need to compare yourself to what others are doing.

There’s no need to doubt your OWN PROCESS.

Take an easy but full breath, and remind yourself that you ARE ENOUGH.
