In case no one told you yet: you can and still…

Hey Reader,

Wuhoo! 🥳 Can you feel the monday energy? Let’s dive right in!

1 POWERFUL QUESTION

How does it serve you to keep the very thing that stops you from reaching your goal? 🤔
Take a moment to pause here – no rush. Example: If fear is what’s stopping you, how does this fear serve you (or protect you)?

​

3 CREATIVE IDEAS

Block
​Anything that stops us from moving forward with our goal is a block. However, there are times when we conveniently choose to get blocked because the block itself is still trying to serve us. Example: If you always get knocked off by procrastination, maybe it’s your body telling you that you’re overwhelmed, and you need to take a break and reprioritise.

Duality

​So often, we are taught that life is in black or white, yes or no, good or bad.
If I want this, then I should ‘not want’ or ‘have’ its opposite – but that’s not always true.

You can be hardworking, and still feel like you don’t want to do anything.

You can change for the better and still have lots of things to work on.

You can leave a relationship and still miss the person you left.

You can heal from your past and still wish things were different.

You can love and enjoy life and still grieve the loss of your mom.

You can love a person deeply and still choose to keep them at a distance.

You can outgrow people and still want the very best for them.

You can be kind and still exercise healthy boundaries.

You can rest and recharge and still be productive.

You can feel broken and still know that you are whole.

Remember that you are more than capable to hold space for any duality that you may face along the way. Life is not always in black and white – it has never been.

Grace

A gift is something we give to someone who deserves it; grace is something we give to someone who doesn’t deserve.

​
Next time you think twice on doing or giving yourself something you think you don’t deserve yet, just stop and remember that you have a permission to extend grace with yourself.

​
In the same way, remember that you always have the option to also extend grace to other people – by forgiving them, overlooking an offense, or understanding them.

​
Nowadays, people need more grace than gifts.

2 INSPIRATIONS

💭 In case no one told you lately: you are doing your best and you’ve come so far. Don’t let others think you are otherwise.

💭 You don’t remember the hundreds of times you fell when you were learning how to sit and walk as a baby, don’t let the mistakes and failures of the past paralyse you with fear of failure. We succeed in life to the extent that we allow ourselves to learn and fail.

1 STRATEGY

If you haven’t started yet, the question isn’t whether you should go ahead and try – it’s a complete waste of time to doubt yourself before you even start. 💯

If you’ve been in the game for quite a while or long enough, the question isn’t whether you should continue or not; you should be asking if it’s still aligned with your values, vision and purpose. 💫
