I was listening to Tara Brach’s podcast this morning speaking on the prison of limiting beliefs.
What she said resonated with me as another message I get over and over “don’t believe your thoughts”.
“Don’t believe your thoughts.”
Yes your thoughts are real, but they aren’t truth itself.
We can shift out of fear thinking (which gives us a false sense of control) and move towards TRUE refuge in presence and love.
From that space of true presence, we can explore what’s underneath the fear with neutrality and radical love which is so needed right now.
Fear keeps us limited, and presence is the only gift we are promised.
What sheds when you allow yourself peace in the present moment?

Everything in nature comes with the most jaw dropping kind of beauty. The kind that comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors.
The leaves change shades through the season, the branches bear fruit and flowers before becoming brittle, and animals come in a diverse range of sizes and colors.
We find this all so extraordinarily amazing, yet hold ourselves to a completely different standard. It doesn’t make sense.
If we can joyfully accept our connection to this earth, then it goes without saying that the diversity in bodies can be uplifted too.
Our system may not be built for acceptance, but that sure as hell doesn’t mean we can’t burn the system down and start over. 👊🏼

What tone of voice do you use when speaking to and about yourself?
Is it a tone that invokes kindness and trust or berating and minimizing?
When I’m working with clients, I often ask them to picture a younger, more innocent version of themselves.
The version that hasn’t embodied the cultural narrative that there are parts of ourselves we should feel shame for and hide at all cost.
It can be difficult to talk to our current selves with a soft kindness, we just aren’t taught to do that in our society.
When I ask clients to practice talking to a younger version of themselves, I’m asking them to soften into the true nature of who they are. That inner child is still there, wanting to be heard and seen..we just have learned not to listen.
When we can tap into this powerful narrative of self soothing the inner child much like a parent would, it can open up a new realm of learning and understanding.
Instead of reacting from a fear driven place, we can gently speak to the fearful child with words of validation and understanding creating SAFETY instead of anxiety.
We may have a hard time being friendly with our current selves, but could we practice speaking to ourselves like we would a child? What might that feel like?
What might that inner child need to feel safe and heard?
I know my inner child wants to wear swimsuits and leotards all day long no matter how her tummy looks. She wants to know she is free to show up in the world as her messy sensitive awkward self so that other people can give themselves permission to do the same, pigtails and all. 💕

has the best posts. Reposting this gem for you guys from her!!👇🏼👇🏼

I don’t believe there is a such thing as boredom eating.

If you want to stop eating when you’re bored, you need to look deeper. You need to decode your eating behaviors with better questions. Let me share some questions to get you started:

✖️Do you have life balance? Are the big parts of your life working for you? Jobs, money, school, home, relationships, intellectual pursuits, leisure, rest, etc.

✖️Do you need more rest, play, something new, time to yourself, a laugh, connection with someone, touch, a change of scenery, or something to look forward to?

✖️Are you unable to allow yourself downtime? Are you eating because it’s a “minute to yourself” or a reason to pause your to-do list? A time to sit down? A reason to step away from something?

✖️Are you avoiding something? A difficult or unpleasant task? A tough conversation? Feelings of overwhelm? Feelings you don’t want to feel?

✖️Are you actually hungry? Was the last time you ate a meal or snack hours ago? Did you eat a snack and you needed a meal?

🧡 Now, I want to hear from you. Which questions above to do you relate to the most? 👇🏻

PS. When it comes to going deeper with food, some of you might consider working a licensed therapist that understands eating concerns. There might be some really significant reasons you’re feeling unbalanced with food and life.

That feeling of leaving a part of you out, has drastic physical repercussions. That crappy feeling resides in our body and can manifest in many different ways.
For me, and many of my clients, that feeling of hiding or leaving behind a part of yourself often shows up in how we treat and see our bodies.
Because our bodies are something we have been told we can control, it can feel more comfortable to bring the focus to how our bodies are failing us or parts of us we don’t like and put the discomfort THERE instead of acknowledging the REAL story.
The real story is, sometimes we try to fit into a puzzle that was never for us in the first place. We can push, wiggle, shove, and turn upside down to try to fit, but at the end of the day we weren’t meant to fit into someone else’s version of a puzzle.
We were just made to show up and take up whatever space makes sense in that moment.
It was never our bodies that were the problem, it was that we have grown up believing that if we manipulate our bodies enough, we’ll fit into the spaces society has made for us.
We forget that by continuing to heal our relationships with ourselves, we slowly call in the pieces we have left behind piece by piece.
The more that happens, the better we can see the full picture and the reality that we were whole the entire time, we just learned to leave pieces of us behind.
The discomfort you are feeling isn’t anything your body did wrong, it was trying to protect you the whole time. 💛

We have the power to teach another way.
It starts with embodying our own right to take up space and to practice what that look like even if we live in a culture that says otherwise.
Radical Compassion doesn’t let anyone off the hook, instead it mindfully puts responsibility in the appropriate places and opens up the door for radical LOVE to come in.
There is enough room for everyone at the table, but as beautifully preaches, we have to burn down the ladders we were told to climb up to make that happen.
Our conditioning has to be untangled with that same radical compassion and love so that the next generation can stand on our shoulders and continue to do better. ❤️
Let’s love each other fiercely instead of competing with a broken sense of worthiness.
You are worthy. Period.

And this is NOT a time to be distracted.
“A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.” -
This isn’t a time to be quiet, this isn’t a time to let our culture’s ideas of what “beauty” looks like get in the way of our voices being heard.
There is enough fear and uncertainty as is, we are much better off to fight what’s going on outside of us than to have to battle that fear and uncertainty within too.
You ARE worthy, you ARE enough, and you DO have a voice worth hearing.
This is the time. Does micromanaging what you eat add too, or take away from your values?? It’s your choice. 👊🏼

Monday is here and frankly this is the best reminder I could give anyone, including myself.
Breathe.
When life gets hard, because it will, breathe.
When the week, the day, an emotion gets overwhelming and you don’t know where to start, breathe.
When you want to react instead of respond, breathe.
When the moment feels so precious you don’t want it to end, breathe.
Just breathe.
Breathe from the depths of your belly into your expanding chest. Exhale slowly and with purpose. Let it wash over you like the tide and bring you back to your feet.
Let the breathe ground you and bring you back to the present moment and WHAT IS.
Breathe is our life source and provides us the space to reconnect, pause, and make conscious choices instead of living in the purgatory of auto-drive.
You can’t buy or sell breathe, it’s always with us. So when you’re unsure of the next step, you don’t want a moment to end, or don’t know how you’ll ever get through...
Pause. Breathe. This too belongs. ✨💕

If you’ve gained weight or stopped an unrelenting fitness regimen or quit counting every bite of food while working to heal your relationship with your body, let that nagging concern that you’ve “let yourself go” transition into your “welcome home” mantra!
💜It’s EASY to let yourself go. You let yourself go every time you prioritize how you *look* over how you FEEL and what you can DO and who you ARE. You let yourself go every time you turn down that invite because you don’t have the right outfit, or edit and filter that photo because you’re embarrassed of your skin, or sit out of that workout because you don’t want to jiggle and sweat and get winded. You let yourself go every time you picture yourself living instead of just living (it’s called self-objectification, and it’s a normal and debilitating part of most of our lives).
💗You FIND yourself again every time you prioritize how you FEEL and what you can DO and who you ARE over you fears of what you may look like. You find yourself when you show up anyway, love anyway, play anyway, LIVE anyway. You deserve to reclaim your life from the soul-sucking prison of self-conscious body monitoring, “fixing” your body, and waiting for your life to begin once you qualify to be seen. You aren’t here to be looked at, you’re here to BE. You have so much good to experience, and do, and feel, and you are held back from all that life when you prioritize your appearance over it all. You deserve to find yourself. It’s time to come home.
