If you had told me 2 years ago that I would be part of a ladies cricket team playing 1-2 matches a week, I would have and I did, roll over laughing.
What were my limiting beliefs around it:
✨I don’t have time to fit in practice and games (translates to “I don’t have time for me” or “ I’m not important enough to make time for me”)
✨I can’t play cricket (translates to “I am not good enough”)
✨I’ll not fit in with these people (translates to “I am not good enough”)
Now, 2 years on:
I’ll make time to play 3-4 games a week if I want to. I am in control of my time and nothing else so if I decide to make the time I will. This is time for ME and I AM important enough to do the things that I love.
This is village cricket, do you need to be a pro? No, absolutely not! Can I now play cricket, Absolutely, Yes! Practice is such fun and the games are exhilarating and reminds me that even at 40 I can kick ass at team sports because of my passion to play! Am I a pro? No, but I can stop a ball, take a wicket and hit a boundary. Most importantly I know I can play and I choose to believe every game that I am a great player because I AM Good Enough!
“These people”, my Shenanigans, have wrapped around my heart like a warm blanket on a winters evening! Yes I fit in perfectly and they all fit in perfectly with me. Yes, it takes time to get to know people, to trust, to let the walls down, to connect and that is exactly what happened and in the most beautiful way. This is a community of strong women and girls who support and cheer each other on. Who laugh, cry and play together! A community that I am part of because I am good enough!
This all because I made the choice one day to put me 1st, to believe in myself and to let the walls down, to do something that made me feel a little uncomfortable. Now, it’s one of the best choices I have ever made!
What do you love? What are you not making time for that you want to? Ask yourself, “Am I important enough to make the time?” Hell Yea! You are!
What have you told yourself you cannot do that you want to do? Do it, you ARE good enough!
Where is your community? Find them, join them, they need You!
Sending love and Happy Monday 💖
