• Did you ever hear the saying "practice makes perfect" growing up?! I heard it ALL THE TIME. It’s a simple yet encouraging saying for a child wanting to give up on something. Problem is, it’s discouraging at the same time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think I took it into my adult life, which is probably why I’m a perfectionist 😂 but I recently listened to Mel Robbins audible “Take Control of Your Life” and she talks a lot about the topic. She mentions that perfectionism is actually a defense mechanism. I never thought of it that way but it makes so much sense!! We claim that we still haven’t started that new project because we’re still finishing up a few key details, or it’s just not quite perfect yet. Or the timing isn’t right. Sound familiar? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well friend, this is your Friday motivation to START THE THING YOU’VE BEEN WANTING TO DO! Stop making excuses for not starting because of you’re fear of failure. It’s okay to make mistakes. It’s okay to trip and fall. We learn and keep going. Practice makes progress. You can only continue to grow with progress. Things may never be perfect and that’s A OKAY. We all know life ain’t perfect so why do we expect ourselves to be?! I encourage you to set aside 1 hr this week for something that brings you joy! ✨

  • I know we are all fighting through some tough battles during this strange year, and this isn't to say to brush away the bad and only focus on the good (there is a such thing as toxic positivity). But if you are finding yourself in a constant state of overwhelm and anxiousness...try shifting your perspective. It's so easy to go down the rabbit hole of what a damper this year has been and the constant wondering of what if's. But I encourage you to take 30 min this week to reflect back on this year, and find 5 things that this year gave you. Gratitude is a powerful practice and can make a true difference in your mental health ✨

To be honest, its been easier to let these months go by unnoticed 😅 but I’m going to make this a better habit!

  • Supporting and cheering humans on (especially WOMEN) is a core value of mine. We all deserve to be heard and loved. You, my friend, are beautiful just the way you are. You are strong. You are capable. While the opinions of others can be daunting and disappointing, YOU are the only one who can overcome and push forward. My nomination goes out to the women out there fighting for a voice, and those feeling alone, lost and misunderstood. You have a seat at my table, always ♥️ let’s continue this movement everyday. Speaking up for women who can’t and inspiring others to take action. #challengeaccepted thank you to all of these inspiring women for nominating me @val_leal @bigea @jennyquicksall @laylee_emadi @lupepradocoaching @nydia8a_ @chilstein @ashleyburnsphotography @thecrowncollective @mariateresaliljeberg #womensupportingwomen #strongertogether
