I am 10 days into the #last90days challenge led by Rachel and Dave Hollis. For those of you who aren’t familiar with them- please do yourself a favor and go find them NOW! The #last90days challenge is based on Rachel’s 5 to Thrive Concept. Do these five things every day and you will see a shift in your life. This isn’t rocket science, most of us know what it takes to be the best version of ourselves. Most of us know it takes starting over again and again no matter how many times it takes.
We are all #MadeforMore. I’ve been hesitant to put in words what my “More” looks like. I think I am scared because I know when I put it out here, it’s really real. And honestly, I don’t know all my “More” yet. But here is what I do know.
- I wake up in the morning and count my blessings because I am still able to start fresh.
- I don’t let the feeling of fear run my life.
- I take chances and I listen to my intuition.
- I stop living to please other people.
- I RUN a mile a day.
- I write for myself at least 3 times a week.
- I show my children they are capable of doing anything as long as they work hard and stay true to themselves.
- I hold space for anyone who needs it.
- I know that the Universe and God are working FOR me.
- I look for the little things, the silver lining in life and practice gratitude every day.
Those are just 10 things that, as I started with #1, flowed out of my head. There is so much more. I am no longer satisfied with existing, I want MORE. I want to live my life according to my rules and no one else’s. I have always been a people pleaser and have avoided conflict all of my life. I’ve been taking baby steps to break those habits. Some days are better than others.
My “More” doesn’t look like your “More” and that’s the beauty of it, we are all so unique and not everyone will agree with some of our “Mores.” And that’s OKAY. We can be the juiciest peach in the world and for the people who don’t like peaches, it won’t matter, because we aren’t for them, they will never like peaches and that’s okay. There are plenty of others who love peaches and love who we are, no matter what. Don’t continue to try to change the non-peach lover, don’t beat yourself up because you think, if only I showed them how sweet I am, they’ll decide to like peaches. THEY WON’T and it wastes so much time and energy to try to convince them they like peaches.
Figure out what your “MORE” looks like. What does a day in your best life look like? Visualize it to every little detail and write that down. Keep it someplace you can read it often. What we focus on becomes our reality, so let’s focus on OUR best selves and leave others to do the same.
