Today, I spent a gorgeous day walking over hills overlooking Jura with my sister and her spaniel. We had a picnic then later stopped at the coffee shop with our mum for a socially distanced tea and cake. We also enjoyed a glass of iced Pimms in the sun. Fabulous day? Absolutely!
After such a lovely day, I should be chilled out. And I was. Yet, I could feel doubt starting to set in-it manifested in this work-why I am writing these blogs. Who the fuck do I think I am? Why do I think my views are of any worth? Who actually cares?
Instead of getting sucked into the gremlims, I went for a walk with the dog. I meditated on top of a hill, listened to You Are A Badass audio book and remembered the importance of loving myself NO MATTER WHAT!!
This recalibration tool kit is intended to ground me when the gremlins strike.I also remembered a chat yesterday that I had with one of my best friends. We had spoken about how this self doubt keeps us small and not living our best lives. And that we were so goddamn sick of it.
That’s when we made our deal to check in with each other when we felt like this. I sent her a quick message (she lives in Sydney so I was nt expecting an immediate reply). However, just the act of thinking of her, connecting with her, of our shared vulnerability and commitment to overcome these fears gave me courage to keep going and and write this post.
I am writing this for me because I am worth investing in me and what I will learn about me over these 100 days #braveasfuck.
Bloody hell, Joan! Thank you for such gorgeous feedback 🥰🤩
