Gratitude, Random Thoughts, + Showing up imperfectly
Hey Hoes, What’s up y’all? We got Thanksgiving coming up next week, and I wanna know … what are you most grateful for this year? What has been a blessing in your life? What has exceeded your expectations in 2022? Seriously let me know - DM my insta @badluckburden
As for me, I’m grateful for showing up for myself consistently this year. Whether that was through taking care of my mental help by going to therapy, or going to the gym when I didn’t feel like it, or connecting with a family member I’m not super close with but want to be, or prioritizing my rituals and things that set me up for success, or accepting opportunities that were out of my comfort zone, or investing my time/money/energy/passion into Life Coaching. Maybe it’s more believing in myself than anything…
Having some kind of consistent gratitude practice is really helpful especially when you’re going through a hard time. I started my first gratitude journal in 2018 after I lost my Mom and got out of an unhealthy relationship and it helped me find some kind of hope in a time where I felt so alone.
This week I felt called to do something a lil different. I didn’t feel like there was just one topic calling to me, but I have had some random thoughts lately that are sticking with me that I’d love to share. 30 Tid bits if you will…
IDK who needs to hear this …….
You are not responsible for meeting others’ expectations of you.
Instead of wondering if they like you, ask yourself do you even like them?
You don’t need to say “I’m sorry” when you cry in front of someone else
You deserve to fully express yourself, there are people ready to show you love and support
If you’re concerned about what people will think when you share something, ask yourself how do you feel bout it?
You can start before you’re fully ready
I’m sorry for what you’ve been through, but I’m glad you’re still here
No one remembers that dumb thing you did years ago
Sometimes we need to check ourselves
It’s not your job to make other people comfortable
It’s not your place to figure everything out for everyone else
You can only go as deep as you’re willing to go with yourself
You deserve to feel at home with your thoughts, feelings, and emotions - I hope we all get there
Your ideas are not stupid, and we want to hear them
Abundance grows from gratitude, appreciation, intention and love
There is someone that looks at you and truly basks in your presence
You deserve relationships where the effort is mutual, the foundation is strong, and you accept each other as you are
Cherish something about each day
Connect with yourself to connect with others
Challenging times are usually comprised of many separate issues happening all at once, if this is true for you at the moment, know it won’t last forever. One day at a time, ne moment at a time.
Say no to what drains you. To negative vibes and energy. To manipulation. To shit you just don’t wanna do.
Pay attention to how you communicate with others and with yourself
Think about all you’ve overcome and how much you’ve evolved, you did that shit.
We don’t need to know how everyone perceives us, what they think about us.
You deserve to take up space just as much as anyone else.
If you have trauma you’ve never told anyone about, I see you and I’m sending you love and care.
You deserve that raise
Quit buying shit you don’t really need
Sometimes you just need a really deep fucking breath
Spend more time with the ones that have warm and kind energy, you’re celebrated when you expand - you don’t feel the need to shrink.
